Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 383, Great Court Meeting (please vote for me)

Ziyou looked at Lao Zongzheng and said nothing, but continued to wait for the next step.

"The black bird turned into a dragon. Because one of the nine tripods was missing, it could not be completely transformed into a black dragon. King Zhaoxiang then thought of using the eight tripods to divide Qin's destiny and slowly breed the black dragon, so that the black dragon could swallow the black bird. However, the black bird again How could he voluntarily be swallowed by the black dragon? In order to avoid the fight between the black dragon and the black bird, Yan Jun took the black dragon to Qili and used his own formation to lead the black dragon into Qili, thus separating the black bird and the black dragon. Yueyang, the capital, is a black bird, and Xianyang is a black dragon. The two sides stand side by side and jointly support the fate of Qin.

Now the Qin State has successively destroyed the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Yan. The black dragon relied on the Heshi Bi to swallow up the fortunes of the three kingdoms. It is no less than a black bird. As the saying goes, a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. One of them will be injured, but no matter which side is swallowed, it will affect the Qin State. Luck.So this time I found the Taiwei because of this matter. "Old Zongzheng said.

After listening to what Lao Zongzheng said, Ziyou asked:

"When King Zhaoxiang split Qin's destiny to raise the black dragon, he should have been able to see the two sides fighting sooner or later? Isn't there any way left?"

Lao Zongzheng just said with a bitter smile on his face

"At the beginning, King Zhaoxiang's first choice was to turn the black bird into a dragon, but it could not be completed due to the Eight Cauldrons. In addition, Qi State rejected the proposal of becoming two emperors with Qin State, which made King Zhaoxiang think that Qin State had no chance to become emperor. Due to his own luck, this move suddenly became King Zhaoxiang's nightmare.

Just at this time, a man who claimed to be a Taoist master came to Qin and proposed the idea of ​​dividing the fortune of the Eight Cauldrons to raise the black dragon. Although many people were opposed to this at the time, King Zhaoxiang insisted on it and agreed to it. After the Taoist priest caused a series of turmoil after splitting the fate of the Qin State, King Zhaoxiang finally woke up and the Taoist priest's identity was discovered.

That man was not a Taoist master, but a descendant of Fang Jijia. He was secretly sent by the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in order to split the fate of Qin!But it was already too late. In order to stabilize the luck, Yan Jun took Heilong to Qili. Because of the hidden dangers of luck, Yan Jun spent the rest of his life studying Feng Shui and luck in order to find ways to solve the internal luck of Qin. The matter of dispute. "

After hearing these secrets, some questions in Ziyou's mind were also solved. It is no wonder that Yan Junji, who was once known as the wise man of the Qin Dynasty, would give up his identity as a clan member, hand over the court to a group of relatives, and go to Qili alone to indulge in the secrets of Feng Shui. In the art, luck is more important than who has the control of the court.

"I wonder what Ziyou can do?" Ziyou asked.

He didn't know much about luck, and he had no way to solve it.

"Actually, I have no choice, so I asked the Taiwei to come here. The Zongzhengs of the past generations guarded Yueyang in order to stabilize Xuanniao, and the Qili lineage left the clan in order to reduce the competition between Black Dragon and Xuanniao as much as possible. ." Lao Zongzheng said.

Ziyou also feels a headache now. No one can stop the battle of luck. The battle between Xuanniao and Black Dragon is inevitable, but when both sides fight, no matter who loses or wins, they will suffer in the end. They are both the Qin State. If you want to stabilize both sides, you can only split the Qin State, but this is absolutely impossible. For such a big problem, Ziyou really can't think of any good solution for a while.

"How long can the Black Dragon and the Black Bird fight?" Ziyou asked.

"I don't know. Now that destiny has been fulfilled, Zhao and Chu are no longer a concern. Qi is just a twilight country. Once Qin is unified, it will be time for the two to fight." Lao Zongzheng said.

"There is still time to think of a solution." Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief, and through the window he saw Qi Liyi kneeling in the ancestral hall. "Lord Zongzheng, is this the reason why you called Yi'er back this time?"

"It's just one of them. The clan has decided to let Qili's lineage return to the clan, so it's time for him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan." Lao Zongzheng said.

"If Yi'er comes back now, will it cause a fight between the black dragon and the black bird?"

"No, the black dragon now lives in He's Bi, the black bird occupies the Eight Cauldrons, and King Wu's ax is also in the ancestral hall. Both sides are competing for the luck in the ax, and there will be no fight for the time being." Lao Zongzheng said .

"That's fine."

Lao Zongzheng suddenly stood up and said to Ziyou with a serious expression.
"If it hadn't been for the Taiwei to find He's Bi for our Qin State, and to use King Wu's ax and the remaining luck of the Zhou royal family to stabilize the fate of our Qin State, otherwise our Qin State would have experienced huge twists and turns. Please accept it from me, Taiwei." A gift.”

Lao Zong saluted Ziyou, but Ziyou did not refuse.After talking to Lao Zongzheng about other things, Lao Zongzheng went to the ancestral hall to talk to Chuiliyi. Ziyou stayed in the side hall and thought about what he had just said to Lao Zongzheng.

It was already dark after Lao Zongzheng finished talking to Chuiliyi. Ziyou and Chuiliyi stayed in Qinian Palace for one night. Ziyou and Chuiliyi left Yueyang the next day. , returned to Xianyang to prepare for this year-end meeting.

Qin's year-end court meeting was held as usual, but this year's meeting included some more people, such as Situ Wanli, who was canonized as the Great Sinong, Xiao He, who succeeded Chen Ping as the consul of the Recruitment Office, and some new faces.

Since the incident in Peixian County ended, Xiao He took the initiative to find Lu Buwei to plead guilty and confessed everything he knew. Lu Buwei directly threw Xiao He to Ying Zheng and asked Ying Zheng to deal with Xiao He. Ying Zheng did not say anything, but Xiao He threw it to Fusu.

Fusu finally pardoned Xiao He's guilt. After Chen Ping left, no one was responsible for the recruitment hall. Xiao He spent the most time in the recruitment hall and his own ability was enough to handle the affairs of the recruitment hall, so Ying Zheng asked him to take charge of the affairs of the recruitment hall. , and at the same time, it also started to cultivate the foundation for Fusu.

The Talent Recruitment Hall is responsible for recruiting scholars and imperial examinations in Shandong. It is the talent recruitment agency for the entire Qin State. Xiao He's crime of being pardoned by Fusu also marked Xiao He with the symbol of a princeling. In the future, talents recommended by Xiao He will also be marked with the symbol of princeling. Having become a princeling, these people will also be the foundation of Fusu in the future.

Lu Buwei, Ziyou and Feng Quji were at the top of the court. As the three princes, their power was no less than that of Ying Zheng. When Ying Zheng was away, the three of them were the most powerful people in the Qin State.The courtiers first paid homage to the three princes, and then Ying Zheng sat on the throne. All the ministers paid homage to Ying Zheng. After the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, the year-end court meeting began.

The beginning of the court meeting was the report of the Sangong and Jiuqing, as well as the county guards or frontier army generals from various places who returned to the court to report their duties. The Sangong and Jiuqing calculated all the expenditure, population, food, etc. of the Qin State for a year, and All the books were handed over to the Prime Minister's Office and Wenyuan Pavilion for review.

The planning time for the imperial meeting was three days, and it took a day and a half to report on the work of the three gongs and nine ministers. Among them, the most important things were the work reports of Tingwei, Zhisu Neishi, and the prime minister. Each of the three of them would take a year. All cases since then will be reported, and Ying Zheng will also interrogate and review some cases that are unclear or have great impact; Zhang Cang, who is responsible for the history of Su Nei, has already prepared to report all the information on the material land such as grain and grass for the year, population, etc. Handed over to Ying Zheng.The remaining one is Lu Buwei. As the prime minister, Lu Buwei has the power to promote and demote officials, so it is very troublesome to report. Some of the important officials need to be questioned one by one, and all those who have questions in his mind will be detained.The second half of the day was about the army. As a Taiwei, Ziyou reported to Ying Zheng the wars and military promotions that had occurred in the Qin State over the past year. It took him half a day. He spent the first two days on Everyone expected it.Only on the third day, Ying Zheng began to discuss what Qin needs to do next year. Ying Zheng and the ministers took turns to put forward their opinions and then discuss.

And Ying Zheng directly stated that he would start a war against the Xiongnu Youxian King in the spring of next year. Ying Zheng's words immediately attracted the opposition of many ministers. The beginning of spring is the beginning of farming, and it is the time when there is a shortage of labor. Fighting at this time will have an impact. It was the whole year of Qin State, so some ministers were very opposed to it.

However, those who knew the internal situation, Ziyou and others did not object, and the military generals kept asking for battle. The generals of the Beidi County border army who returned to the court for a vacation and reported on their duties actively asked for battle. Most of the external attacks were carried out by Lantian and Lishan. The camp, the Beidi County border troops had no turn at all, and the Xiongnu Youxian King’s harassment of the Qin border was only a few dozen people in a small group. They were often captured by the hungry Beidi before they entered the Qin border. The county border army swallowed it up, which resulted in the soldiers of the Beidi County border army having little military merit.

Now that they heard that there was a war, they naturally refused to let it go.However, due to the objections of many ministers, these ministers did not object when they saw the Three Dukes, and Zhang Cang, the governor of Su Nei Shi, who should be opposed the most, did not object either. Gradually, these people no longer objected, and just said that they would do well. Negotiate and leave enough people to farm.

After this matter was settled, Ying Zheng talked about a lot of other things. Fortunately, the rest of the things were normal things. There was no talk of starting a war, and the meeting ended smoothly.

Yuyang County, Jiyang City. Although Yuyang County is bitterly cold, Jiyang City is still very prosperous as it has not experienced a war and was the capital of the Yan Kingdom in the past. However, the current Jiyang City does not have the prosperity of the past. The people They were all very anxious walking on the streets, and the entire Jiyang City was filled with the smell of an approaching storm.

The reason for everything is that the Qin family was ransacked a few days ago.As the descendants of the famous generals of the Yan Kingdom in the past, the Qin family was confiscated by Chen Ping. The reason was that the assassin who assassinated Fusu was trained by the Qin family, and the young master of the Qin family, Qin Wuyang, was killed in the street before the family was confiscated. The defenders of Yangcheng captured it in public. In an instant, the people of Jiyang City understood one thing. The Yan State was now Yuyang County. Even if the young master of the Qin family, Qin Wuyang, broke the law, he was no longer timid. It is very brave for someone to dare to kill someone in the street. Instead, he killed someone to pay for his life. He was interrogated for his guilt and his whole family was ransacked.

The Qin family's interrogation was very clear. In just two days, they were beheaded in public at Caishikou in Jiyang City. More than 300 people from the Qin family were beheaded. The smell of blood is still there to this day.It was after that day that the entire Jiyang City began to become stormy.

In Li Mansion, Guo Yuan looked at the pale Li Huai with some happiness and some disappointment in his eyes.Fortunately, Li Huai escaped, and Qin Wuyang caused the Qin family to become the scapegoat for the Li family.What was disappointing was that Li Huai was so frightened that the Qin family was confiscated and beheaded in public.

"Uncle, is it really His Highness the Crown Prince who was assassinated by the Qin family?" Li Huai asked nervously.

Guo Yuan shook his head and said
"No."

Just when Li Huai breathed a sigh of relief, Guo Yuan's next words made Li Huai's face become even paler.

"But the Qin family really wants to restore Yan. Not only the Qin family, but also the Guo family, the dramatists, the Ju family, and many former dignitaries of the Yan Kingdom are preparing to restore Yan!"

"What!?" Li Huai took two steps back.

"Don't worry, if it weren't for that brainless reckless man Qin Wuyang who killed people on the street and implicated the Qin family, otherwise the Qin family would have been fine." Guo Yuan said with disgust.

Guo Yuan also couldn't understand what Qin Wuyang, a reckless man, was thinking?The current land is Yuyang County of Qin State, not Yan State, and they dare to kill people in the street.When Qin Wuyang killed someone in the street, the Qin family helped him cover it up, and some publicity turned his murderous behavior into a brave and courageous person, which really made him unaware of the situation.

Li Huai's face changed
"Uncle, now that you are telling me this, do you want me to do anything?"

Hearing Li Huai's question, Guo Yuan nodded and said
"Now we are preparing to revolt, but Chen Ping has always been an obstacle to us, and you are the only person who has good relations with Chen Ping in Jiyang City. I need you to invite Chen Ping to your house on the day of our revolt, and take advantage of the opportunity. kill him!"

Hearing Guo Yuan's words, Li Huai froze on the spot.

"You have time to think about it." Guo Yuan said. Originally, they didn't need Li Huai. News came from Liaodong. Li Xin defeated Liaodong. They couldn't wait. Chen Ping was also assassinated through Fusu these days. They began to deploy troops and manpower in Jiyang City, and now the Qin army was ransacked and executed, which made them feel a sense of crisis. It happened that news came from Li Mu from Zhao State that he would help them stop the Qin army.

Therefore, Guo Yuan, Ju Changkong and Ju Wen immediately decided to prepare for an uprising in the near future.

"Uncle." Li Huai looked at Guo Yuan and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Now the advantage is in our hands. Li Xin has not returned from Liaodong. The number of our soldiers in Jiyang City far exceeds Chen Ping's army. As long as Chen Ping is dead, the entire Jiyang City will be in our hands. At that time, dignitaries from all over the country responded one after another, and the prosperity of Yan State was just around the corner. Li Mu of Zhao State also promised us that he would help us hold off the Qin army on the road. Once we successfully expel the Qin army, Li Mu would persuade King Zhao and Zhao Yan If we form an alliance, even Qin will not be able to attack and come back."

After hearing Guo Yuan's words, Li Huai thought about it for a while, then a touch of determination appeared on his face, he looked at Guo Yuan and said
"Uncle, what exactly should I do?"

"The day after tomorrow, you will invite Chen Ping to the mansion. As soon as Chen Ping enters the mansion, you will kill Chen Ping at the banquet and set up the Yan State flag in the mansion. When we see the flag, we will lead the army to capture Jiyang City."

"But uncle, are we really the opponents of the Qin army alone?" Li Huai asked anxiously,
Seeing that Li Huai was still a little scared, Guo Yuan wanted to reassure Li Huai, so he said

"Don't worry, in addition to our three families in Jiyang City, there are also dozens of local large families, large and small, who can raise an army of no less than 3 people! We also have enough people in the Yan army."

"Okay!" Li Huai said.
