Qin Shi Big Boss

Chapter 99

The real authority lies in the hands of the Ying family, and they are the only ones who control everything.

"Let's go! Come with me to meet the King Father." Ying Zheng said indifferently, and left the palace on his own. Zhao Gao responded and hurriedly followed, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

When Yingzheng speeds up, he speeds up, when Yingzheng slows down, he slows down, and there is always a certain distance between the two.

In the study room of the royal palace, candles were lit on the desks, and a large number of bamboo slips were printed.King Zhuangxiang of Qin's hair was a little disheveled, full of black circles, looking at the bamboo slips very sad.Lu Buwei sat nearby and helped to give him advice.

"The widow can't do anything now. It seems that these memorials are approved by the widow, but none of them are really decided by the widow." King Qin Zhuangxiang threw the bamboo slips aside, very angry.

"Your Majesty calm down, this needs to be discussed at length, there is no rush." ​​Lu Buwei said hastily.

"For this funeral, all the ceremonial officials have the final say. I can't do anything. To put it bluntly, those Chu people petitioned the widow. Even if Mrs. Huayang is seriously ill, they can still manipulate the government. Be honest." King Zhuangxiang of Qin said bitterly, that's why he was not reconciled, although his ability is far inferior to Yingzheng, he has his own ideals.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to worry about. Mrs. Huayang is about to die. Those Chu people can still be arrogant, but only for a while. Now, Qin's support for Ding Tianjun has accumulated, and we are waiting for the snowball to roll over. It's too big." Lu Buwei put down the bamboo slips in his hand and explained patiently.

"The widow has given birth to a good son. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid the current situation would be even more difficult." King Qin Zhuangxiang couldn't help but smiled wryly, and in the pale yellow candlelight, many white heads appeared.

"Ding Tianjun is a rare genius in the sky, and the king has Ding Tianjun's support, so there is no need to worry too much." Lu Buwei said with a trace of awe.

"However, let Zheng'er do everything, but I really can't say it. I have to do something, otherwise, I'm too useless to be serious." A gleam of determination flashed in King Qin Zhuangxiang's eyes.

"Now, because of Mrs. Huayang's illness, the Chu people have no leaders in the field. Although they have connections with the Ying family, they are not so close after all. In the view of the Ying family, Mrs. Huayang is still one of them, but those who Chu people are always outsiders." Lu Buwei explained the problem.

"Although this is the case, many forces now have the involvement of Chu people. The trapped Lao Ai is on the same line with the Chu people. Because of Wei Ran, some of the forces in the army are from Chu. In addition, there are quite a few Chu people in Yinyang's family." Lu Buwei has done a lot of homework on this, and now he speaks it very fluently.

"Not only that, even the corresponding part of the civil servants are taken by Chu people. Although these Chu people are outsiders, but with the help of the Empress Dowager Xuan's strength and mutual assistance, they have established a solid foundation in Qin. It's very difficult." King Qin Zhuangxiang sighed.

"Now, if we really attack them, I'm afraid it will arouse their vigilance and unite again. Even when King Qin Zhaoxiang was alive, there was no way to deal with them. We can only let them restrain themselves." Lu Buwei It is meaningful to say that although he is the prime minister now, few officials listen to him.

"Now, they are at the time when the dragons have no leader. It would be too wasteful not to act. Even if they are vigilant, the harm will be much smaller than before." King Qin Zhuangxiang's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his hands simply Press on the hilt of the sword.

"Your Majesty sees it clearly! If you do it now, you need to be fast enough, and they haven't reacted too quickly. And the eradication of forces needs to be the most critical, so that they will break one of their arms." Lu Buwei suggested.

"You mean the strength of the army?" King Qin Zhuangxiang woke up immediately. In this troubled world, the army is the most important thing.

"That's right, as long as the military power of the Chu people is broken, even if they want to toss, they can only toss gradually. When they react, they should harden up and simply kill a few groups. As for the centrists, it is said to cooperate In the past, those who tend to harden are gradually subdued, and they will naturally collapse." There was a cruel smile on the corner of Lu Buwei's mouth.

"It's a good idea." King Qin Zhuangxiang chuckled, but asked again, "How can we get rid of Wei Yu?"

"..." Lu Buwei didn't respond for a while, thinking about it carefully, it might be possible to get rid of Wei Yu.But if they wanted to withdraw quickly, neither King Qin Zhuangxiang nor him had such a strong force.

"This way, it will be very difficult." Qin Zhuangxiang King sighed, obviously a little frustrated, now it seems that we can only talk about it in a long way.

Two figures, large and small, were found outside the palace. The small one walked in front, his face was full of sternness, and he faintly exuded the air of the emperor.The older one was Zhao Gao, who respectfully followed Ying Zheng's death, not daring to neglect him in the slightest.

"Zheng'er, why are you here?" King Qin Zhuangxiang adjusted his appearance, stood up, and swept away the previous gloom.

Seeing his only son, King Qin Zhuangxiang was very happy. He looked at the red-eyed and pale-faced man, and said in his heart, "It seems that Zhao Gao has been tamed by Zheng'er. Although he has nothing sharp now, the widow always I think the future of this person is limitless."

What King Qin Zhuangxiang didn't know was that he had already controlled part of Kantau's power.

In addition to the short and long Xuanjian, Zhao Gao also controlled a group of killers hidden in the dark, and they only listened to Zhao Gao's words.

"Father, my son is here to relieve your worries." Ying Zheng said loudly.

After Lu Buwei heard it, he was overjoyed. With Ding Tianjun on the horse, he would surely be able to get twice the result with half the effort. He thought: "Although this person is young, he is extremely terrifying. With his help, he will definitely be able to return to Chu people. Authority. As for the distribution of authority, who else can handle the burden besides me?"

"How are you going to relieve everyone's worries?" King Qin Zhuangxiang was a little surprised, but he didn't mean to be unhappy.

"Father has just become the King of Qin. Many ministers must not admire it, especially those from Chu. When speaking to the outside world, those kings did not pay attention to Father. It must be because of Father's background, so it is like this .” Ying Zheng said without shame.

"It's true that those ministers seem to cater to me, but behind the scenes they don't take me seriously at all. In particular, there are some veteran ministers who have achieved great results when King Qin Zhaoxiang was king, and they often criticize me in the wild hall." Qin Zhuangxiang Wang said a little frustrated.

But he was muttering in his heart, it would be great if he was as famous as Zheng'er, there is no point in thinking so much.With such a reputation, the ministers in the imperial court respected Zheng'er's name very much, and did not neglect him in the slightest.

Even those ministers who worked hard, such as Meng Mastiff and Wang Jian, highly respected Ying Zheng.If they heard someone speak ill of Ying Zheng, they would definitely go up and condemn him severely.

The ordinary people on the streets even regarded him as a god, and legends of the Holy Son of Heaven were spread everywhere.As long as Ding Tianjun is mentioned, the common people's faces are full of pride, and they are most looking forward to Ding Tianjun to become the king of Qin.

But for King Qin Zhuangxiang, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. A large part of the reason was that Ying Zichu was born in a humble background and had no extraordinary talents, coupled with the hindrance of Mrs. Huayang's power.

No matter where they are, few people think highly of Ying Zichu, and the few remaining people look at Ying Zheng's face.

Thinking of this, King Qin Zhuangxiang didn't know whether he should be happy or sad, and was very entangled.

After hearing this, Lu Buwei said sadly: "Because of your birth, many Ying's bloodlines look down on him. If Mrs. Huayang did not support him, it would be difficult to achieve what he is today. Now we have fallen out with the people of Chu. It’s just relying on the crown prince’s reputation and the support of a few veterans.”

The reason why Ying Zichu was able to catch up with Ying Zichu in the first place was because Ying Zichu's background was too humble.If not, how could he, a small businessman, get in touch with a prince like Ying Zichu?

Scholars, peasants, businessmen, and businessmen are the last class. Basically, few people would look up to businessmen, let alone ally with them.

Zhao Gao lowered his head and remained silent, he knew that these words were beyond his ability to intervene.As for why he can stand here, one is because of Ying Zheng's trust, and the other is because these are well-known things.

Even Zhao Gao looked down on King Qin Zhuangxiang a little bit in his heart.However, due to Yingzheng's discovery and defeat of Zhao Gao, Zhao Gao naturally did not dare to show any disrespect for King Qin Zhuangxiang.

"Now, the most critical thing is not the Chu people as a group, but how to make a name for themselves." Ying Zheng said unhurriedly, but he said the crux of the problem, "As long as the father's reputation spreads throughout Qin, it will naturally If you can convince the public, without the father taking action, those Chu people will take the initiative to submit to the father."

"However, how to become famous? For the common people, these are more difficult than for the people of Chu." King Qin Zhuangxiang wondered, he didn't have Ying Zheng's fierce talent, and he could hit a target thousands of meters away.

Not to mention a target a thousand meters away, being able to hit a target within a hundred meters is impossible for Ying Zichu, who has been sick since childhood.

As for the excavation of the heroic spirits of the former kings, there is no need to even think about it. King Qin Zhuangxiang will never believe that there will be any heroic spirits of the former kings who are optimistic about him, because the difference between him and Yingzheng's talents is too great.

Lu Buwei was moved in his heart. Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng's eyesight was so sharp and he could see the key to the problem at a glance.

The Chu people are just appearances. Even if they get rid of the Chu people, if their prestige is not enough and they cannot get the support of the core powers, they will still find Wei people, Zhao people or officials of the clans in the Qin State and confront him.

The key to solving all these problems is still making a name for yourself.

Zhao Gao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This Ying Zheng was indeed worthy of his name, and he could see the problem at a glance.Originally following Ying Zheng, he was in a state of doubt, but now his degree of certainty has increased a bit.

"It's not difficult to solve the current predicament. You need to do two things." Ying Zheng said lightly, but he stood beside King Qin Zhuangxiang.

"Which two things?" King Qin Zhuangxiang couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this.

Lu Buwei and Zhao Gao chattered, secretly thinking that Yingzheng really has facilities.

"The first step is for the prime minister to go out and persuade all the ministers to gather troops in Shangdang to attack Zhao Guo's HD." As soon as Ying Zheng finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed drastically except for Zhao Gao.

"No! It's too dangerous. During the time of King Qin Zhaoxiang, there were too many battles. Now Qin's food and grass are not enough, and it can't last long at all. Even if we can win, it will attract the covetousness of other countries." King Qin Zhuangxiang simply said Negatively, he must not bet on Qin's fate.

Food and grass are the blood of battle. If there is no blood, people will die, and the battle will naturally rot.

"Forgive me for being abrupt, attacking Zhao State like this is really a bad idea. Instead of gaining benefits, you may fall into the quagmire of war." Lu Buwei secretly relaxed. He thought it was a good idea, but he didn't expect it to be this Such a bad idea, the harm is really too great.

Fortunately, King Qin Zhuangxiang did not negotiate a peace agreement, otherwise, his reputation might be ruined.Sending troops indiscriminately is the biggest taboo among the taboos.

Zhao Gao's heart moved, he wanted to hear Ying Zheng's explanation and see how he responded.

"Sun Tzu said, soldiers, what is the purpose of war? Advantages should be the first priority. This time, sending troops to Zhao State seems to be extremely harmful, but in my child's view, it does not cause much harm. On the contrary, it can win for Qin State. Huge merits, he made his father famous all over the world." Ying Zheng spoke very fast, but the other three dared not miss a single word.

Lu Buwei took a look, and suddenly said: "The prince often does amazing things, which are unknown to everyone, and this is the case today. Your Majesty, you might as well listen to what the prince wants to say, and then make a decision."

If he could figure out what the prince was thinking, he wouldn't have to worry in the study with King Qin Zhaoxiang.

"What does Zheng'er mean?" King Zhuangxiang of Qin came to have fun, secretly thinking that Yingzheng really has facilities.

"Gathering an army is just to prepare for the second step. The distance between Shangdang and HD is not very far. As long as an army is gathered here, Zhao people will be afraid. As long as the fear reaches a certain level, the land will naturally be ceded Give it to us." Ying Zheng smiled lightly.

"I hope the prince can explain it." Lu Buwei said respectfully.

"Naturally." Ying Zheng waved his hand, walked in a small circle, and first explained slowly, "There is a saying in the art of war, why are you fighting, and then you are fighting for your own interests."

"That's true." King Qin Zhuangxiang nodded.

"What's the situation in Zhao Guo now? Have you ever understood?" Ying Zheng looked at the three of them and asked.

"The widow has never heard of the current situation of the Zhao country. Because King Zhao Xiaocheng was executed by the widow, the Zhao country is now in chaos, fighting with each other." King Qin Zhuangxiang said loudly, thinking of King Zhao Xiaocheng, that is There was a burst of fire.

"It's really a mess." Lu Buwei nodded.

"Such a good opportunity, nothing should be missed. Only by sending heavy troops to the front, the people of Zhao State must be terrified and afraid of being attacked by the Qin army." Ying Zheng continued.

"However, what should we do if Zhao Guo understands that we are short of food and grass?" Lu Buwei asked, the problem of food and grass is Qin's weakness.

"Well, as long as Zhao State is delayed, Qin State will fall into the quagmire, and other countries will take the opportunity to seize Qin's land. In this way, Qin State will be in danger, and the foundation of the former king may be destroyed in everyone's hands. "Qin Zhuangxiang King looked very sad.

"Father, there is no need to worry. There are sayings in the art of war. What is false is true, and what is true is false. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The state of Zhao does not understand the real situation of Qin. Just be afraid." Ying Zheng said with a chuckle.

"However, don't be afraid of [-], just in case. If Zhao Guo is really not afraid, what should we do?" King Qin Zhuangxiang frowned.

"Father, try to think about it. If this war really begins, what will it do to the State of Zhao? What will it do to our State of Qin?" Ying Zheng said calmly.

"For the State of Zhao, this battle is extremely critical. If they decay, the territory of the State of Zhao will be annexed by our State of Qin. As for those grandchildren of the heavenly nobles, they will also become prisoners of their ranks." King Zhuangxiang of Qin thought. He said after a while.

"For us Qin, it's just a small loss. The big deal is to withdraw our troops. The other countries have nothing to do with us. Therefore, no matter whether we win or not, the loss to our Great Qin is not very big. , but once he wins, the king will not only be famous throughout the country, but Qin will also get a lot of land and property." Lu Buwei was overjoyed.

Zhao Gaomiao took a deep breath and exhaled extremely cold air, motivating the surrounding water vapor to turn into water mist.Xin Dao, originally Yingzheng was so hopeful, if he really won, he would surrender without fighting.

High, it is really too high.

"No, you don't need to send heavy troops, you only need [-] troops." After Ying Zheng said this, several people became puzzled again.

"If there are only [-] troops, if they go to attack Zhao, it will be like delivering food. Zheng'er, your method is too risky?" Qin Zhuangxiang asked suspiciously.

"The soldiers of Zhao State are not as good as those of Qin State, but if they are only [-] yuan, they can't even last a round. In this way, although we can save a lot of food and grass, there is no chance of negotiating with Zhao State." Lu Buwei's mind was a little noisy .

"No." Ying Zheng flatly denied it.

"Zheng'er, although I know you well, you are gifted, but with only [-] troops, it really doesn't make much difference." King Qin Zhuangxiang said earnestly.

"Father, my 30 army is better than Zhao's [-] army. Although we all know that it is [-] troops, but if it is announced to the public that it is [-] troops, Zhao people are not clear about the situation." Ying Ying Zheng commented, looking back at Lu Buwei, "There is no need to fight Zhao Bang now, just to intimidate the other party."

"Intimidate the other party?" King Qin Zhuangxiang muttered.

"What the prince means is to use 30 troops to promote [-] troops, and use some tricks to confuse the princes and nobles of Zhao. Because of the last battle, Zhao has been scared by us." Lu Buwei lightly said with a smile.

"As long as we can intimidate Zhao people. In this way, not only will we save a lot of food and grass, but Qin will also be spared from falling into the quagmire of war, and we will be able to gain great benefits and gain prestige for everyone. This plan is indeed killing four birds with one stone." King Zhuangxiang of Qin was also suddenly enlightened, secretly saying that Zheng'er was as witty as a demon.

"From Zhao people's point of view, it means that the 30 Qin army is suppressing the territory and wants to annex Zhao's land in one fell swoop. So the Zhao people were very panicked and didn't know what to do. In the end, they had to retreat and cede the land to Qin. country." Lu Buwei was secretly startled, and secretly told himself that when Wuyuan Yingzheng ascended the throne, he must be careful.

"There are a few key points in this plan. One is that the decision must be carefully guarded, and no one else can understand it, so that Zhao people can feel that we have an army of 30. The second is to be fast enough, otherwise After a long time, it is easy to make changes. Thirdly, it is necessary to find a suitable official who is eloquent and force the Zhao people to cede the land. Fourthly, it is necessary to fully understand the intelligence of Zhao State." Ying Zheng said The places that need attention are reported again.

"There's nothing wrong with the guards, we're the only ones who can do it now." After King Qin Zhuangxiang finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Gao.

"The little one didn't dare, the little one didn't hear anything." Zhao Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

"Zhao Gao has nothing to do with it." Ying Zheng said softly, and glanced at Zhao Gao. The latter's authority needs him, so why can't he be collaborating with the enemy?
"Since this is the case, the strict cover-up agreement in the army is very perfect and will not be leaked." King Qin Zhuangxiang just frightened Zhao Gao. Since Ying Zheng took him, it means that he can be trusted.

In King Qin Zhuangxiang's view, Yingzheng would not make such elementary mistakes.

"I'll immediately arrange manpower to spread rumors that Qin is about to fall to Zhao when the army sets off, and spread it intensively in Zhao to make preparations for diplomacy." Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.

"I will explain the details to Meng Mastiff clearly." Qin Zhuangxiang King said softly.

"It must be covered up." Ying Zheng added.

"The widow understands." King Qin Zhuangxiang was a little generous, and finally he was about to stand out.

"Now, officials are quite difficult to deal with. The truth is that the court is controlled by Chu people, and we don't know the details of the officials." Lu Buwei frowned. Originally, he had several suitable candidates in his mind, but because The matter was too tense this time, and he simply denied it.

As for Zhang Yi, Lu Buwei simply skipped it, not wanting him to occupy such a big achievement.

"I don't know if there is any suitable candidate for Zhenger?" King Qin Zhuangxiang had no choice but to turn to Yingzheng for help again.

"I think Zhang Yi, the right minister, can do it. He is clever, good at fighting, and he is the successor of Guigu Zongheng. He will definitely be able to take on this important task." Ying Zheng noticed Lu Buwei's hidden scruples, but he didn't follow Lu Buwei's intentions. .

"As for Zhang Yi, I also know a thing or two. When he was in the palace, he was already advising everyone. This salaryman is witty and knowledgeable. He can easily see through the surface of things and go deep into the essence." Qin Zhuangxiang King Ruozhi Thinking, he glanced at the bright moon in the night.

If it hadn't been for Zhang Yi's help, how could Ying Zichu have gained the trust of King Qin Zhuangxiang so easily.
