Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 137 King Zhaoxiang! King Zhaoxiang! [Update 4k, please subscribe]

Many courtiers in the audience looked at the high-spirited King Qin on the stage with some indifference in their hearts.

The thoughts in their hearts were exactly the same as those of the kings of the Six Kingdoms before, but they just changed to a new King of Qin.

Could it be that replacing a younger King of Qin could change the current situation in the court?

Those of them who truly have power will use the power in their hands to tell him, no.

Even the King of Qin was just a puppet in the hands of his courtiers.

Of course--

If it was really a powerful king like Duke Xiao, there would be nothing they could do.

But the question is, will the person in front of me be such a powerful king?

None of them think so.

Among all the courtiers, only the "Three Divisions" and "Three Dukes" who stood at the top and were former ministers of the auxiliary country could clearly realize what a terrifying king the new king was.

In the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang, he was known as the super long-standby fighter of the Warring States Period, the great devil of the Warring States Period, the most feared monarch of the Warring States Period, the founder and gravedigger of the Qin State's prosperity, one of the greatest monarchs in the history of the Qin State, and the unification of the Qin State. King Qin Zhaoxiang Yingji, who was an indispensable piece of the puzzle, officially entered the "stage of history."

He began to take charge.

And at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he initially changed the official positions in the Qin State, turning the "Daliang Zao", which was originally one of the highest peaks, into an official position of the same class as a dozen people.

Secondly, the "Three Divisions" and the "Three Dukes" were established.

At first, people didn't pay attention to this small change.

It's just that the newly enthroned king wants to show off the power in his hands. Don't you see, although he has established official positions that are higher than those of Daliang Zao and has appointed left and right ministers, the person who holds the power is still the original auxiliary of the country. people?

Not even a bit has changed.

Those who were interested saw the change in the official position. This was a very small signal, but for those who had been waiting in the dark for more than ten years, it sounded like thunder.

The King of Qin used a very restrained method to limit the power of the "Chen family".

When there was originally only one Prime Minister, even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were tied together, Chen Shen would not be able to handle it alone. But what if there were two Prime Ministers?

Naturally, another person, another force can become the "prime minister" and divide the power that originally belonged to Chen Shen alone.

Moreover, the person who serves as the Prime Minister can even slowly erode Chen Shen's power.

This is totally fine.

Although the right prime minister is nominally more noble than the left prime minister, it does not mean that the left prime minister has more power than the right prime minister. As long as the person sitting on the throne is willing, everything is not a problem.

For example, "Li Si" was the same during the First Emperor's period.

Li Si was just a court lieutenant at first, but as the ninth minister, his power was vaguely comparable to that of the three princes. After he became the left prime minister, his power surpassed that of the right prime minister.

At that time, people did not even remember the name of the right minister.

Of course, during the period of King Zhaoxiang, no matter how tyrannical the left prime minister was, he would not go too far beyond the right prime minister. After all, the person in the right prime minister's position was here.

The Chen family is Chen Shen.

These four words are already a golden sign.

But even after saying so much, he couldn't stop one thing, that is, "the king deliberately divided up the rights of the Chen family" and even distributed these powers to other people.

The people who "attacked Chen Zhimeng" have been dormant for decades, starting from the time when Duke Xiao was in his later years, and it has been six years since King Zhaoxiang!

Three whole eras!

Even stones will be washed away and shine brightly under the torrent, let alone these people who are "attacking the Chen Alliance"?

But they just held on silently, and today they see hope.

Hope of victory!

The spring of the seventh year of King Zhaoxiang came as promised. In this spring, for some unknown reason, many disasters suddenly occurred in Qin.

In other words, not only Qin, but all the seven countries suffered disasters of varying degrees, of which Qin was the most serious.

Floods, droughts, and locust plagues are three disasters that come in turn.

Fortunately, many years ago, the Qin State had been silently purchasing food from the nobles of the six countries at a very high price.

When these disasters occurred, everyone in the court responded very quickly and began to provide disaster relief.

Not that no one has doubts.

They feel that giving this food to those people is a waste of food, because they want to use this food to launch more wars.

Of course, the person who put forward these opinions was beaten up by the grumpy Chen Zhan as soon as he said it, and four or five teeth were knocked out.

And Ying Ji, who was watching from above, did not start a fight, but when the man sued Chen Zhan, he said a few perfunctory words and passed away.

As for the other ministers?

The other ministers had a somewhat peaceful expression on their faces, as if they didn't care about anything, and just smiled as they watched this scene happen.

They also think this person should play.

But more than anything, they wanted to see Chen Zhan's mind go dizzy.

Now that the Chen family has controlled so much power in the court, if the Chen family's second son is also a scheming old fox, how can they outplay the Chen family?

Zhangtai Palace apse

Ying Ji was sitting in the main hall, with a hint of smile in his eyebrows.

He looked at the information sent by the people from Heibingtai, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "What did Heibingtai find?"

The chamberlain on the side quickly said: "Your Majesty, after returning to Gong, Emperor Zhou vomited blood out of grief and anger. He is now lying on the bed and does not dare to get out of bed."

"The other six countries are eyeing this."

"The King of Chu seems to have summoned some "spirit witches" and the like in the country, hoping to use this to gather the luck condensed on the Jiuding."

Ying Ji nodded slightly, sighed softly, and spread the bamboo slips in his hands on the table.

"The world."

He squinted his eyes slightly, preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to start a war.

Nowadays, Chu and Qi are not very powerful, but they occupy so much land, which makes Ying Ji very dissatisfied.

He needs more land, and the people of Qin need more land.

His future plans also require more land!

In the autumn of the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang.

When there was a severe drought and disasters in the world, King Qin Yingji brazenly launched a war, and it was not a war against a country.

No one knows how they came together.

In short, the results that people in the world see are: Qin and Zhao allied to attack Han; Qin and Yan allied to attack Qi; Qin and Wei allied to attack Chu.

Three-front battle!

This is a very crazy battle plan that almost everyone finds incredible.

But this crazy battle plan was actually implemented.

The autumn of the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang was a crazy autumn. Even when King Zhaoxiang thought about this time again, he was shocked by his own madness and said that he would definitely not do it again. So crazy. However, the people who accompanied King Zhaoxiang at that time told him clearly.

Even if it happens again, you will still do it like this, because you are such a crazy and terrifying king.

Zhao State has its capital at Handan.

King Zhao Huiwen looked at Fei Yi, who was standing in front of him with doubts and confusion on his face, with a little helplessness on his face: "Don't look at Gu with such eyes. Gu is also confused. Why did Gu agree with Ying Ji?" Such a crazy idea.”

He held his forehead and sighed and said: "At this time, the six countries should have united to fight against Qin, but they don't want to fall behind at this time."

King Zhao Huiwen stood there with his hands behind his back, a little lonely in his figure: "If I don't agree to cooperate with Qin and cooperate with Ying Ji, believe it or not, Ying Ji will turn around and contact King Han and join forces with him. Attack our Zhao country?"

"The strength of Zhao State is indeed strong, but it is not that strong."

"You must know this."

Fengyang Lord Li Dui also said in a cold voice: "The king is right. In such a chaotic world, either you advance or I retreat."

"Even if we are seeking skin from a tiger, we must be the one who conspires with the tiger, instead of being the "skin" being plotted by others."

Seeing that the two people's opinions were very unified, Fei Yi said nothing more. He just said: "Since the king and Fengyang Jun both think so, then let's follow the king's and Fengyang Jun's ideas."

"Although I can't do anything, I will ensure that Lord Fengyang's food, grass and other chores are taken care of, and I won't let these affect Lord Fengyang."

King Zhao Huiwen even said: "No matter what, we must not show our cowardice in this war!"

There was a rare ferocity in his voice. He was a benevolent king, and he was considered the most benevolent and righteous king during the Warring States Period. It was rare to see him speak in such a vicious and ferocious tone. .

"We cannot let Qin see Zhao's weakness!"

Yes.

The country of Zhao, which had just ended the coup, quelled the rebellion of the former prince Zhao Zhang, and besieged his father, King Zhao Wuling, was in a period of weakness.

Of course, even in their weak form they are very powerful.

Yan Guo

King Yan Zhao looked at Le Yi who was standing in the audience. Unlike Zhao State, the reason why Yan State proposed to unify Qin State was because of Le Yi's "support". In other words, it could no longer be regarded as support, but as a big help.

He asked softly: "Leqing, why do you insist on forming an alliance with Qin?"

Le Yi just smiled slightly. He looked at the Kanyu map hanging behind King Yan Zhao and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Qin and Qi are not adjacent to each other. Why do you think he would join forces with us to attack Qi? ?”

King Yan Zhao was slightly stunned. He was actually curious about this matter.

Le Yi was not surprised at all. He pointed to a place in Yan and said, "Qin wants the city here."

He shook his head and sighed: "So, Qin promised to ally with us to attack Qi. When Qi is defeated, they will give us all their interests in Qin in exchange for Yan. Here in the country.”

Le Yi said: "The Qin State is located on the border. It is not only bitterly cold, but also a place subject to many restrictions."

"If they want to annex the world, they must be like a fierce tiger in the west, swallowing up the world in one bite."

King Yan Zhao paused, looked at Le Yi and said, "Then shouldn't we unite to deal with Qin?"

"Why did you join forces with him to deal with Qi State instead?"

Le Yi sighed again, pointed to a place in Qi State and said: "This place is dispensable to Qi State, but it is a strategic location for Yan State. If we can win here, Yan State can form a Trend."

"The trend of going south to annex the heroes!"

His voice was very solemn, as if he was talking about metaphysics: "Now in the world, there are only four countries that have the ability to annex the world."

"The first one to bear the brunt is Qin."

"The Qin State has formed an irreversible trend through Shang Yang's reforms, two talented and strategizing kings, Duke Xiao, and King Huiwen, as well as several great talents such as Chen Ye, Chen Shen, and Chen Zhan, and the newly born King of Qin. Show the power of a tiger that annexes all heroes!"

"In the forests of Tiger Roaring Mountain, almost no one in the world can stop him."

"The next ones are the three countries of Yan, Zhao and Qi."

Le Yi squinted his eyes: "Among them, Yan and Qi, like the Qin State, are located on the four corners of the border. Although they are bitter and cold, they are easier to develop and gather "power", and once the "power" and "qi" are Once formed, it is unstoppable.”

"As for Zhao State."

He said with some hesitation: "Zhao's strength was driven by the spirit of Qin, but it was precisely because of Qin that their "power" did not form, because there was a more terrifying Qin next to them!"

Le Yi said: "This place is to the State of Yan what the land of Bashu is to the State of Qin!"

"The Yan Kingdom is bound to win!"

King Yan Zhao listened to Le Yi's analysis. Although he didn't understand it very well, he still nodded: "Just do what Le Qing wants!"

Wei State, Daliang

The King of Wei did not give anyone a chance to refute, and no one in Wei could resist him.

There were only two children sitting there in the main hall, one of whom had a trace of melancholy on his face.

He said with emotion: "All the countries in the world were deceived by their own interests and had to cooperate with Qin to eat the world. The king of Qin is really a talented man!"

Beside this child, another child looked at the older child with confusion on his face: "Wuji, what are you talking about?"

Wuji! Wei Wuji!

Wei Wuji raised his head, looked at his brother and shook his head slightly: "No, I'm saying that King Qin is really majestic."

"Father is also very majestic!"

In the autumn of the sixth year of King Zhaoxiang, war broke out.

As expected, the Seven Kingdoms can explode with just a little spark.

They started fighting.

And all this was started by one person.

King Zhaoxiang, Ying Ji.

The wise men in the world who witnessed this war sighed with emotion. They saw that the era of King Zhaoxiang was coming.

Or it has already arrived.
