Chapter 17 Qin Xiang's Suffering!

"The last general takes orders!"

Bailifeng replied, and immediately left the palace. He led 10,000 of the 20,000 elite cavalry he brought back to Xianyang City and went to the military camp of the two sons, Gongzi Zhuang and Gongzi Yong, to prepare to receive them. One hundred thousand Qin army military power.

After watching Bailifeng leave, a trace of complexity flashed in Mi Shu's eyes: "Ji'er, these 100,000 Chu soldiers are the test left by your aunt, if you are incapable of solving it, then it will prove that Dang'er is no worse than you. , but I will still use the 100,000 Bashu army and the 120,000 Qin army around Xianyang City to clear the obstacles for you and make you the king of Qin. ."

"When the king was still alive, he said that you are more suitable for ruling the country than Dang'er. I want to see what means Ji'er will use to deal with the 100,000 Chu army?"

This is what Mi Shu was thinking at this time. In order to prove that her child is no worse than Ying Ji, Mi Shu is also a little bit arrogant.

Xianyang City, within the Prime Minister's Mansion!

The mansion of the prime minister is the most important part of the ruling class of the state. In addition to the king of a state, the prime minister and the generals of the state are all civil and military leaders of the state. The prime minister's mansion located in Xianyang City Inside is one of the most powerful people in the entire Great Qin. He is from the state of Chu, and he is Mi Yue's half-brother Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, the world's largest warring state.

"It's delicious and delicious, Qin wine is really spicy, it's not as mild as Wei wine, and it's not as tasteless as Yan wine. My elder sister, my younger brother is useless. Although you are the prime minister of a country, there is no way to protect you and your nephew!"

Inside this luxurious and dignified mansion, a man in casual clothes, with unshaven beard and disheveled hair said, while drinking, he said in pain and remorse.

This person looks only in his thirties, but he can't help showing a majestic aura. This person is now Wei Ran, the prime minister of Daqin, and also Mi Yue's younger brother, Ying Ji's uncle!

At this moment, Wei Yuan's heart is full of guilt. Although he is a prime minister of a country, he has no way to protect his sister and nephew during the civil strife in Qin.

Letting his sister and nephew suffer in the country of Yan also made Wei Ran the laughing stock of the princes and nobles in the Six Eastern Kingdoms.

Unexpectedly, the prime minister of the first war country Qin, one of the most powerful people in the whole of Qin, could not keep his relatives. How incompetent was this, and it became a pain in Wei Ran's heart.

Everyone in the world knows that the prime minister of a country naturally controls the power of the state, but who can understand the helplessness in Wei Ran's heart, Qin State has been different from other countries since Shang Yang's reform.

Like the kingdoms of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the power controlled by a prime minister or a general of a country is unimaginable. If the king cannot control it and let it get out of control, then it may even overthrow the country's regime!

This is the case for Tian's generation of Jiang, otherwise the great eastern country of the Great Connaught has been established since the early days of the founding of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

However, the Jiang family was in a daze, and the high-ranking doctor Tian family, who was in control of the state of Qi, seized the opportunity to overthrow the Jiang family’s rule, and even got the recognition of the emperor of Zhou at that time. It is conceivable that among the nations, the power of the prime minister of a country is in the end. how big.

However, the Qin state has implemented a principle since the Shang Yang reform, that is, any title is a false title, and never one is a real title, which means that any official position obtained in the Qin State is actually not much. real power.

In fact, it is more to help the monarch handle affairs and a symbol of honor. It is more than ten times more difficult to seal a marquis in the Qin State than in the Six Eastern Kingdoms, and if you can seal a monarch, it is even more glorious!

However, it also attracted countless scholars from the six Eastern countries. After all, only the Qin state could realize the ambitions in the hearts of these poor scholars.

It must be said that Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong both had a long-term vision during the reform of Shang Yang, and they have almost solved one of the most important drawbacks of the feudal dynasty, that is, the dictatorship of ministers.

So that the power of the Qin state can be concentrated on the king, almost eliminating the possibility of civil strife and subjugation of the country.

I didn't see that the Qin Dynasty established by Ying Zheng later became unpopular even if Hu Hai became unpopular, and how talented Fusu, who entrusted the hope of the world, was even with the support of the general Meng Tian, ​​but he still even had an army without a military talisman. Can't move!

In the end, Fusu and Meng Tian could only commit suicide by taking poison. Do you think that both Fusu and Meng Tian really wanted to die?

It can be said that the political system of Qin is similar to that of centralization, and the degree of centralization is very strong.

I didn't see that even the most untalented and most brutal Hu Hai ascended to the throne of Qin Dynasty, didn't the interior of Qin Dynasty not chaotic.

It's not that he doesn't want to be chaotic, but that when Shang Yang reformed, the political system of the Qin state had already determined that such a situation could not happen at all.

If you want to be in chaos, you will not be able to create chaos. The demise of the Qin Dynasty is also the collective restoration of the six Eastern countries. It is really unpopular to go to the Qin Dynasty. The criminal law is too harsh, the taxes are too harsh, and the people of the world are against each other.

And the current Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran is like this. In the eyes of the six Eastern countries, Qin Prime Minister Wei Ran's status is extremely noble, almost under one person and above ten thousand people, but who can know the bitterness in Wei Ran's heart.

After all, he is a civil minister, and he is not responsible for controlling the power of the state as established by the Qin Dynasty, and is directly responsible to the emperor.

The current Prime Minister of Qin is only responsible for the diplomacy of the state, plus he advises the King of Qin on the strategy of governing the country, and he does not even have the slightest military power in his hands!

Moreover, the laws of the Qin state are very strict. Except for the monarch, who can have the power of life and death, the rest must abide by the law, even if he is a son of the royal family. Moreover, the punishment of the doctor is all about ruling the country according to the law, that is, Compared with the laws of later generations, it is even worse than that, so even Wei Ran, who is the prime minister, would not dare to overstep the slightest!

There are only three ways to mobilize the Qin army. One is the edict of the King of Qin, the other is the tiger talisman of the Qin army, and the other is the sword of Duke Mu of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, and each of these three things can only be used at most. Mobilize one-third of the entire Qin state's army.

This has avoided the situation where the generals of the Qin army are self-respecting, even if it is the general Ying Ji, who controls the power of the Qin army, but if he dares to rebel, then the king of Qin can take back the general power at any time.

Even Ying Ji, who is the general, can't stop it if he wants to. Therefore, controlling the military power is not a question of whether he can do it or not, but a question of whether he wants to do it or not. For the current Wei Ran, it is a matter of In this way, it appears to be of noble status, but in fact it does not have military power and cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the country.

And this is almost impossible in the six eastern countries, so the kings in the six eastern countries must always be on guard against their ministers, guards against the doctors, prime ministers, and generals. This is also the eastern The reason why the Six Kingdoms can't develop for a long time is that even if they are loyal, they can't be trusted. It can only be said that they are helpless!
