Chapter 134 Who Is the Winner in Life?

Qin Palace.

It was a long night, with cool breeze blowing. People in the palace outside the palace are coming and going, and they are rude and silent; the tigers and benians are guarding, and they are very quiet and solemn.

In the magnificent palace, above a pool of clear water, there was a purple wooden box with the Yuezhi's national seal placed on it.

Zhaowucheng fell, and 200,000 Qin troops marched together. The Yueshi fought and the country was destroyed.

Brother Zheng leaned on the imperial case, resting his arm on one hand and tapping the table with his fingers on the other. He glanced at the symbol of the highest power of the Yuezhi on the water, and was no longer interested in focusing on it.

The rise and fall of nations has happened every day on the land of China for hundreds of years. The three-foot bamboo slips contain endless records of history. The decline of a country was caused by the Yuezhi far away in the west. In the heart of the leader of the world, Zheng Ge, it was actually not a big deal.

Brother Zheng only gave Ying Ziyi one year. Even Brother Zheng, who gave the order in the first place, didn't know how far he could achieve it.

However, in the past year, in the Yuezhi Kingdom, two of the five great princes died, two surrendered, and one escaped. The jade road established by the Yuezhi people in the past is now in the hands of the Qin State.

Qin's strategic focus has always been on the east. Compared with the prosperity of the six kingdoms of Kanto, the trade route full of wind and sand and Gobi seemed a little too desolate.

Abandon or cure? If it is governance, how should it be managed?

Brother Zheng glanced at the bamboo slips on the imperial case, Ying Ziyi's letter.

The Yuezhi's old land was divided into two counties, and officials were sent to govern them, teach etiquette, and declare the majesty of our state.

Under the general rules, there are detailed rules. From Brother Zheng's point of view, this petition should not have been written by his son. This petition is clearly organized and the words are sophisticated. It should have been written by an official who has been trespassing on documents for a long time.

Brother Zheng smiled, it was interesting! The words in this slip seem to have vaguely revealed his future measures to govern the world.

Brother Zheng still yearns for the fertile soil to the west. Unfortunately, the world is still uncertain, and it is impossible for Brother Zheng to transport a large amount of resources to the Western Land to manage a foreign land. What's more, even if all the six countries are destroyed, the rebellion and governance in the east will be one of the most important issues for Qin in the next ten years.

In this case, instead of doing something superficial, it is better to be more generous.

….

In the Yuezhi Palace in Zhaowu City, Ying Ziyi picked up the reply letter from the Red Dragon Scroll and looked left and right with an incredulous expression on his face.

"Sir, what did the king say?"

Downstairs, Chen Ping asked.

"Here, take a look for yourself." Ying Ziyi handed the reply letter in his hand to Chen Ping. After Chen Ping read it, he passed the reply letter to everyone in the palace.

"The king means...!"

"My father designated the Yueshi's old land as my territory. In addition to paying a certain amount of military horses and taxes every year, the rest is managed by me. Moreover, I was also allowed to set up an army of 80,000 people for guarding. Western soil.”

Everyone in the palace was extremely happy. This means that their master, Anxi Jun Ying Ziyi, the fourteenth son of the Qin Dynasty, will become the most powerful being under the Qin King. It is true that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.

However, Ying Ziyi felt like he wanted to cry without tears. Brother Zheng was going to be the boss!

Ying Ziyi dismissed the rest of the crowd, leaving only Chen Ping and Li Zuoche in the palace.

Chen Ping said: "Sir, although the king's reply is simple, it contains cleverness."

"Tell me about it." Ying Ziyi said, sitting on the throne of King Yuezhi.

"This place is thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, and it is not easy to move supplies. This is one of the reasons. This place has been under the jurisdiction of the Yuezhi for a long time. Our army has only been pacified for a year, and the people of Daqin are not yet in our country. This is the second reason. Fifty thousand troops guard this place, and fifteen When the tens of thousands of troops return to Guanzhong, Your Majesty will launch an offensive against the Guandong kingdoms, and this is the third one. In summary, Your Majesty wants to govern the Western Territory, but I am afraid he is powerless."

"So my father gave this place to me?"

"That's right!" The person who continued the topic was Li Zuoche, another counselor of Ying Ziyi.

"At this moment, all the king's focus is on the Guandong kingdoms, and he has no intention of looking westward. Using the prince as a shield can not only defend the enemies in the west, but also allow the prince's army to act as a partial division against the enemies on the grassland at the critical moment. The Hu tribe launches an offensive. Why would your Majesty not do so?"

"But it also means something else!"

Chen Ping and Li Zuoche looked at each other and seemed to see the answer in each other's eyes, but no one said it. When they looked at Ying Ziyi, Ying Ziyi said suddenly: "This place is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. Once the king changes, I will be hard to catch. In the battle for the throne, once the names of the king and his ministers are decided, it will be difficult to change them." . My father asked me to stay away from Xianyang, which may mean that I have no chance of being crowned king."

Chen Ping and Li Zuoche lowered their heads and remained silent about the answer they already knew.

"Sir, King Qin's thoughts are unpredictable. Maybe he has other intentions. You can't say for sure."

"Hahahaha!" The two of them saw Ying Ziyi on the throne suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was extremely hearty, "I am far away from Xianyang, but Xianyang is also far away from me."

.......

Chu Di, Qixian County.

In the dilapidated palace, there was only Mr. Yu Changping, lying on his side on the throne. Old and frail, Lord Changping fell asleep on the throne.

As the sun sets, the surroundings of the palace are lonely and silent.

"Who is it? Xiang Yan?" Changping Jun felt the sound on the floor and suddenly made a sound.

Wearing armor, Xiang Yan is nearly sixty years old, but his physique is very strong, like a strong man. The black and white hair is mostly black, shining brightly.

In comparison, Lord Changping on the throne looked very old.

"how's it going?"

"Jun Yongchang has also betrayed! The gate to the west of Qixian County is open, and we are afraid that we will not be able to stop the Qin army." Xiang Yan said sadly.

"The nobles who have been deeply favored by Chu for generations have turned to Qin. I know that Xiang Yan feels uncomfortable in your heart." Lord Changping comforted him.

"The way to attack is to attack the heart first and attack the city second. Ying Zheng is well versed in the art of military strategy. It only took one year for all our efforts to fall apart. But I am unwilling to give in!"

"Yes! Who would be willing to do that?" Changping Jun sighed and asked, "How is your grandson doing now?"

"Shao Yu!" Xiang Yan felt another layer of haze in her heart when she mentioned this matter. "Ever since the Tenglong Legion was defeated and Shao Yu came back, his whole person has changed. Hey! Let's not mention it!"

"No matter what happens, I will not give up, I will fight for the king until every soldier is killed." Xiang Yan said with cupped hands.

"Go! No matter what, I won't blame you." Chang Pingjun looked at Xiang Yan with his turbid old eyes. Under the senile appearance, the sparkle in his eyes flashed away.

"Your Majesty, please retire!" Xiang Yan bowed his head and then withdrew from the palace.

A figure flashed in the hall. Lord Changping raised his head and said, "Tian Guang, didn't I tell you not to come to my place anymore?"

"Old friends are about to say goodbye, so how can I not see them off for the last time."

Tian Guang appeared in Changpingjun's field of vision, "I have some news, one bad and one good."

"This has been bad news for days, let's talk about the good news first!"

"His Royal Highness the eldest son is very popular in the Chu region, and it is only a matter of time before the people's hearts are all over him. As for the Nongjia Sixth Hall, many martial arts masters from the hall master on down admire his highness the eldest son and are willing to submit to him."

Chang Pingjun smiled and said, "If Fusu still cannot achieve this level under such excellent conditions. Then, I can only blame me for choosing the wrong person."

Although Mr. Changping said this, there was still a happy smile on his face.

"What about the bad news?"

"Ying Ziyi commanded an army of two hundred thousand and defeated the Yuezhi in the west. At this moment, the King of Qin gave all the land of the Yuezhi to Ying Ziyi. Ying Ziyi was already the most powerful person in the Qin State since Ying Zheng. ”

"Hahahaha!" Lord Changping laughed after hearing this: "Tian Guang, you are wrong. Far from being bad news, this is great news."

"Good news?" A trace of doubt flashed across Tian Guang's face.

"A year ago, Yingzi Yishuai, riding three thousand men, defeated the Tenglong Army in the south of the old capital. Our hundreds of thousands of Chu troops lost their food and grass supplies, and had no choice but to retreat all the way eastward, suffering heavy losses. As of today, it is already Destruction was imminent. And just when Ying Ziyi was about to get the great credit of destroying Chu, Ying Zheng recalled him to Xianyang and put Fusu under Wang Jian's account. Now, Ying Ziyi will be the moon The Yue clan was wiped out, and Ying Zheng took advantage of the situation and granted him the territory. It seems like an honor, but Tian Guang, do you know what the land and people under the Yue clan are like?"

Tian Guang shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

"Most of its land is wilderness, and most of its people live on animal husbandry. Although they founded the country and called it a rule, they were actually barbarians. The Yuezhi people guarded a seemingly prosperous trade route, but other than that, they had no foundation. Although they control the string ten Ten thousand, it’s nothing. It seems incredible that Ying Ziyi destroyed his country in one battle, but it’s not a big deal.”

"What does Changping-kun mean?"

"Ying Ziyi can destroy his country in one battle, but can he win over the hearts of the Yuezhi in one battle? And why did Ying Zheng seal that wasteland to Ying Ziyi?" Lord Changping laughed, laughing so freely. .

...

Qi State, Linzi.

It was already late at night, but the lights in Prince Qi's palace were bright.

King Jian of Qi was over fifty, but he still drank with his ministers all night long. The charcoal fire in the hall was burning high, and it was as warm as spring. Under the service of the palace maid, all the ministers drank and had fun, and their heads turned red.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Chu will be destroyed. The shame caused by the Battle of Jixi in the past will finally be avenged today!" Someone in the palace raised a glass and said.

"Well said!" Wang Jian of Qi laughed, "I regard Qin as the superior state, and Qin will destroy the other five countries for me. After that, Qi and Qin can share the world!"

In the main hall, laughter gathered.

"I wish you the best, Your Majesty!"

"I wish you the best, Your Majesty!"

.......

No matter what kind of nonsense the ministers in the main hall said, Qi Wangjian seemed to be overwhelmed by it.

"Your Majesty, you drank too much tonight, you'd better go back to the palace and rest early!" said the most trusted servant next to Qi Wangjian.

"I am so happy!" Qi Wangjian said loudly as he was drunk, and walked down the hall with the help of the chamberlain.

After King Qi left, everyone in the palace suddenly fell silent, and then burst into laughter again. But this burst of laughter was filled with sarcasm and ridicule.

The palace built by the King of Qi.

King Qi seemed to have drunk a little too much wine tonight, sitting on the imperial couch. The waiter beside him brought him a hangover drink.

After drinking, King Qi stood up and nodded to the chamberlain beside him.

The chamberlain understood and pressed a button on the clock beside the bedroom. The mechanism was opened, and a secret door appeared in the dormitory.

King Qi Jian took one step at a time, his posture was tall and strong, and he did not have the lethargy in the palace just now.

This is a vast underground palace, with a dozen or so people standing sparsely in the palace. They all wear black robes and bronze animal masks.

In the dark palace, Qi Wangjian walked into the palace and came to these dozen people.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

"Forgive me!" King Qi knelt on the throne in the palace and said to the crowd.

"I will thank you, Your Majesty."

"You are all the leaders of the Tian clan. At this moment, I want to tell you something." Qi Wangjian said in a long voice, "Chu is going to die, and Qi is going to die soon."

There was a moment of silence, and everyone was surprised that as the king of Qi, he could actually say these words in an understatement.

"So, I want you to lurk down, hide in the wilderness of the rivers and lakes, hide in the temples and the army, and wait for the opportunity."

"I respectfully obey the king's orders."

"Stay back!" Qi Wangjian waved his hand, showing a look of contempt for the world. He pointed to a person in the crowd and said, "You, stay."

After everyone dispersed, Qi Wangjian said: "Tian Meng, you are different from others. Now, under the command of Young Master Fusu, it may not be a bad choice."

The man in black took off his bronze mask and showed a puzzled expression, "Your Majesty, but Fusu is Ying Zheng's son!"

It can be seen that although Tian Heng followed Lord Changping's advice, he was quite reluctant in his heart.

"So what?" King Qi said nonchalantly. "Does it matter whose son Fusu is?"

"Why did you... with King Chu?"

"King Chu, he is an interesting person!" King Qi smiled, "King Chu has placed his bet on the young master Fusu. Once Fusu ascends the throne in the future, the Xiong clan will not be able to regain its former glory. But he If we can do it, can’t my Tian family do it?”

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Tian Meng bowed deeply, feeling sincerely convinced by the person in front of him.

"Uncle, are you here?"

"Your Majesty!" After Tian Meng left, a man walked out from one of the dozen secret passages in the palace. It is the current prime minister of Qi who will win later.

"How are the arrangements going?"

"I have transferred the treasures in the treasury in batches. Some of them are used to help the rising stars of the Tian family, and some are provided to the dead soldiers in Jixia. And most of them have been hidden in various places according to the king's instructions. Fang. I would like to ask here, once Qi is destroyed, to whom will the dead soldiers of Jixia be handed over?"

"Tian Meng's sons and daughters are both outstanding people, but it is a pity that one is a daughter and is seriously ill. The other is obsessed with martial arts and is embarrassed by his big responsibility." Qi Wangjian thought for a while, "Let's do this! Leave it to Tian Heng. "

"Old minister, I understand!"

"The end of the world. Ying Zheng, it's not certain who will have the last laugh!"
