My Brother Ying Zheng, Who Dares to Kill Me?

Chapter 799 This Is a Matter of Attitude! The King Dies for the Country, the Method Used by King Jian of Qi!

The corners of Ying Zheng's raised lips instantly lowered, and his voice dropped again: "Please make it clear to Marquis Wenxin!"

At this moment, Ying Zheng was quite contented.

Ying Zheng is also quite proud of his achievements.

Ying Zheng admits that there are indeed many problems in Da Qin today, but Ying Zheng believes that these problems will only cause local turbulence at best and will never endanger the Da Qin community.

If not for the purpose of clearing up the chaos in a shorter period of time and accumulating greater strength to complete the great cause of unification, Ying Zheng would not be willing to ask Lu Buwei to return to the court.

Now, as soon as Lu Buwei stepped into the court, he twice said that the Qin Dynasty would be destroyed, and even vaguely described Ying Zheng as the king of subjugation.

How could Ying Zheng be happy?

Lu Buwei did not restrain himself because of Ying Zheng's attitude. Instead, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, a vision of Handan City was transmitted to Linzi City ten days ago."

"Qi Wangjian summoned alchemists and shamans to the court for this purpose, and it seemed that he intended to hold large-scale sacrifices."

"After the victory of the Qi Prime Minister, he went to the palace to lobby the King of Qi to build it, saying that Qin's destiny lies with Qin, and Qin will eventually replace Zhou."

"Later, King Jian of Qi declared in the court that he would set off to the west."

"Join Qin and become a minister!"

Ying Zheng said quietly: "The DPRK has also received this news."

"Yesterday I discussed this matter with all my dear friends."

"Although it is a great joy for the Qi State to join the Qin State as a minister, our country, Da Qin, is already stretched to manage the current territory and is really unable to manage the Qi State's territory."

"So I would like to temporarily reject Qi's request to serve as a minister."

"Qin and Qi will continue to maintain an alliance, and we will not take over the territory of Qi until our country, Qin, has rectified its internal affairs."

Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang and other ministers also nodded in agreement.

Although the officials of the Qin Dynasty also coveted the territory of Qi State, they also hoped to use it to promote the great cause of unification without spending a single soldier.

But today, the territory of Da Qin has far exceeded the limit of Da Qin's management capabilities.

No matter how greedy the monarchs and ministers of Qin were, they could only refuse Qi Wangjian's request.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but raise his voice a little higher: "Although I have great ambitions, I know that our country, the Qin Dynasty, will not act too hastily, let alone seek quick success."

"Marquis Wenxin, you are worrying too much!"

Lu Buwei's smile became a little more kind: "I never think that the king is a king who is eager for quick success."

"I believe that the king will never be fooled by the petty gains in front of him and thus ignore the real threat."

Lu Buwei still had some confidence in the king he had trained.

Ying Zheng frowned slightly: "In that case, why did Marquis Wenxin mention this matter?"

Lu Buwei suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "I have received the news."

"When the King of Qi built Yongmen, Sima Hengji of Yongmen knelt down and asked: Are you establishing a king for the country? Are you establishing a king for the king?"

"The King of Qi Jian replied: For the country."

"Sima Yongmen asked again: Why did the king leave Sheji and enter Qin when he established a king for Sheji?"

"Wang Jian of Qi bowed his hand in worship, but turned back the chariot instead!"

Li Xin muttered dissatisfiedly: "The one who said he wanted to be a minister is the King of Qi, and the one who came to the city gate and refused to be a minister is also the King of Qi."

"The King of Qi is bullying me, the Qin Dynasty?"

"When the day comes, I will personally conquer Linzi City and let the King of Qi know that I, the Qin Dynasty, cannot be bullied!"

Many Qin officials felt like Li Xin.

Although they knew that the current Qin State was unable to manage the territory of Qi State, even if Qi Wang Jian really came to Qin State, Qin State would still not agree to Qi Wang Jian's request.

But whether Da Qin accepts it or not is our business, and whether you want me to be my minister or not is your business.

Could it be that just because I, the Qin Dynasty, will definitely not accept your invitation to be a minister, will you not ask me to be my minister?

This is a matter of attitude!

Wang Jian shook his head and said solemnly: "This is not as simple as going back on one's word."

"I'm afraid King Qi is acting!"

Li Xin was slightly startled: "Acting?"

Wang Jian nodded slowly: "Perform a play from "The Book of Rites"!"

"Book of Rites: Qu Li" says: When a king goes to his country, he stops and says: 'How can I go to Sheji? ’ The doctor said, ‘How can I go to the ancestral temple? ’ The scholar said, ‘Why go to the tomb? ’, the king will die for the country, the officials will die for the people, and the scholars will die for the system!

The king wanted to go into exile in another country, but his subordinates stopped him and said, "How can we abandon the country?" ’ When the official wanted to go to another country, he stopped him and said, ‘How can you abandon the ancestral temple that worships your ancestors! ’ When the scholar was about to go to another country, he stopped him and said, ‘How can you abandon the tombs of your ancestors? ’.

The king should die defending the country, the officials should live and die with the soldiers, and the soldiers should die executing the king's orders!

When King Jian of Qi was in Yongmen, he was openly asked by the Sima of Yongmen: Why did he go to Sheji?

King Jian of Qi thanked him and returned to the palace.

Anyone who has read can think of the "Book of Rites" through the exchange between Qi Wangjian and Yongmen Sima, and then understand that Qi Wangjian has made preparations for the death of the king.

And under the system of Zhou Rites, "the emperor guards the country, the king dies for the country" never exists in isolation!

When King Jian of Qi stated that he would die for the country, could the officials and scholars of Qi dare to live and die with the soldiers of Qi, or die executing King Qi's order? !

Ying Zheng no longer felt complacent in his heart, only seriousness remained: "The King of Qi cannot compete with the power of Qi State, so he pretends to be my minister of Great Qin."

"Once word spreads out of the palace that the King of Qi has asked him to serve as a minister, people who are unwilling to surrender to Qin will inevitably gather at the palace gate."

"The King of Qi can use this to overcome the barriers of Qi's courtiers, promote his ambitions in public, and attract like-minded people to come to the palace to help him!"

Even Ying Zheng had to admire the King of Qi for establishing this policy.

When Qi Wangjian was almost completely ignored by Hou Sheng, Qi Wangjian gained the opportunity to leave the palace by pretending to compromise.

Then he firmly seized this opportunity and openly announced to the people of Qi that he would die in Sheji!

A good move is to retreat in order to advance!

It's good to put him to death with one hand and then live again!

Ying Zheng sighed: "If my prediction is correct, there will be many righteous people entering Linzi, right?"

For the land of Qilu where Confucianism prevails, this move by King Qi Jian is really too romantic!

The monarch is already prepared to die in the country, so how can the scholar-officials who have read the classics of the sages let the monarch die alone!

The class of scholar-bureaucrats who sit back and watch their king die while they themselves live an ignoble existence are not worthy of calling themselves Confucian disciples!

Lu Buwei nodded and said: "Confucian scholars from all over Qi State gathered in Linzi City, and thousands of nobles and nobles knelt outside Wu Palace to beg to see the King of Qi."

"Jimo doctor Tian Yu has ordered 30,000 troops and rushed to Linzi City at starry night."

"Doctor Kuang Yong of Ju also sent 20,000 troops to Linzi City in person."

"Calculating the time, Doctor Kuangdu will arrive in Linzi City today, and Doctor Tiandu will arrive in Linzi City tomorrow."

Listening to Lu Buwei's words, the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of Great Qin all sank.

Jucheng and Jimo are two of the five capitals of Qi.

The fact that the two capital officials led their troops to Linzi City at the same time not only represented that two parts of Qi State expressed their loyalty to Qi Wangjian, but also represented that two of the five capital troops would be used by Qi Wangjian!

Although the soldiers and horses of Jucheng suffered a lot of losses in the battle between Qin and Qi to destroy Chu, they were trained into elite soldiers as a result.

As for the Jimo soldiers and horses... Tian Danke once led the Jimo soldiers and horses to revive the country as a Jimo doctor!

Ying Zheng immediately asked in a deep voice: "Brother Wang once joined forces with Dr. Kuangdu to destroy Chu."

"What do you think, Brother Wang, is Dr. Kuangdu?"

After Ying Chengyu pondered for a moment, he replied seriously: "In terms of ability, Dr. Kuangdu is not as good as General Jian, General Bi and other generals of the Qin Dynasty, but he is better than ordinary generals."

"When it comes to character of mind, he lives up to Kuang Zhang's bloodline."

"If Qin and Qi go to war in the future, Kuang Zhang will probably fight to the death!"

"As for Doctor Tian Du's ability, I don't know much about it."

"But I know that this person is a rare militant in the Qi State. When he enters Linzi this time, he will definitely support the King of Qi in resisting Qin, and even advise the King of Qi to take the initiative to send troops to our great Qin."

Listening to Ying Chengxuan's introduction, the ministers of Great Qin felt even heavier.

Wang Jian and Wang Ben, father and son, even covered their faces with their hands, hoping to find a crack in the ground to slip in so as not to attract the attention of others.

Ying Chengxuan continued: "Besides Dr. Tian Dou and Dr. Kuang Dou, I thought there was one more person I needed to pay attention to."

"Gaotang doctor Lu Zhe!"

"My brother thinks that this person is probably also a warrior."

Later generations thought that Qi surrendered without a fight.

What later generations thought was right!

But surrendering without a fight does not mean that Qi does not want to fight.

In the original history, although Dr. Jimo persuaded Qi Wangjian to take the initiative to send troops, Qi Wangjian vetoed it. However, at the end of Qin's process of destroying the Six Kingdoms, Qi Wangjian had been increasing troops to Gaotang.

After the fall of the Yan State, the Qi State even stationed its main troops on the front line of Gaotang, always ready to resist Qin's attack!

The reason why Qi surrendered without a fight was entirely because the main force of the Qin army bypassed the main force of the Qi army and took advantage of the emptiness in Qi's rear to directly surround Linzi City with heavy troops!

If the Qin army failed to successfully attack Linzi City, Ying Chengxuan had no doubt that a bloody battle would break out between the Qi army and the Qin army.

And the leader of the Qi army in this bloody battle may be the Gaotang doctor Lu Zhe!

Hearing Ying Chengxuan's words, even Lu Buwei had a serious look on his face: "Doctor Lu Du is always cautious in his words and deeds and does not get involved in the affairs of the court. I didn't know that Dr. Lu Dou also had the intention to lead a war."

"Gaotang is also one of the five capitals of Qi!"

"If Dr. Lu Du also takes the lead in the battle, King Qi can mobilize nearly half of Qi's troops in one fell swoop!"

Lu Buwei was frightened, and his voice became more cautious: "Your Majesty!"

"I think the king of Qi is different from the king and queen. Qin Jin's heart is not firm in his affairs, but he is mostly coerced by the ministers of Qi."

"Now the King of Qi ascends to the throne and shouts, and half of the soldiers and horses of the Qi Kingdom follow him, probably not just to hold the king's power."

"I believe that our only ally in Great Qin may also become our enemy in Great Qin."

"If the three kingdoms of Qi, Dai, and Yan join forces to attack our country, Great Qin."

"How can I, Da Qin, resist?!"

The faces of Ying Zheng and the officials of Great Qin all turned gloomy, and the joy just now was gone.

Qi State has money, food, equipment and hundreds of thousands of young men who can join the army. Dai State has frontier veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles and Wu'an Lord Li Mu. Yan State... can also involve some of Qin's troops.

If Qi, Yan, and Dai declare an alliance, they will launch a surprise attack on Da Qin with Li Mu as the commander-in-chief of the alliance.

Da Qin, how to resist!
