Qin State, Xianyang City, Royal Palace.
King Qin Yingji was furious!
"Xiong Wuliang, you! How can you do this!" Ying Ji was filled with grief and anger. He pulled out the sword on the sword stand and struck the long case in front of him several times, and then threw the sword aside while panting.
The sword fell to the ground with a clang, just like the sound of Ying Ji's heart breaking.
The news has reached Xianyang - it is said that Xiong Wuliang is carrying out drastic reforms in the fiefdom, and his actions are not small.
Since entering the Warring States Period, there have been so many precedents for reforming powerful countries, which has made all countries in the world very sensitive to the word "reform"... News such as Xiong Wuliang's reform in the fiefdom was immediately sent as important information. in the hands of monarchs of various countries.
The specific reform decrees were also studied together by the "senior staff officers" from various countries.
It's nothing special - it's nothing more than centralizing power, suppressing powerful people, encouraging farming and fighting, and so on...
It can be considered a bad street reform routine.
There are also those who do not follow the routine - for example, the State of Zhao in the north is also currently engaged in the reform of "Hufu, riding and shooting"... Of course, the monarchs of various countries sneered at Zhao's reform strategy -
Why should the good-looking Huaxia follow Rong Di?
Laughing to death, what’s so good about Rong Dihu people? Learn from them and sleep in the open? Or should we imitate them and eat flesh and blood?
I guess Zhao’s reforms are just a joke!
That King Zhao named Zhao Yong is just a fool with a head full of nonsense!
…
Putting aside the funny reforms of Zhao State, Xiong Wuliang's actions in Chu State are enough to arouse the vigilance of all monarchs——
Will the Chu Congress promote nationwide reform? Will he suddenly become stronger after reforming his method? Threat to the survival of all countries in the world?
Be careful! Be careful!
Let’s talk about Qin King Yingji. After receiving the news that “Quyanghou was carrying out reforms in Chu”, his first reaction was not whether the King of Chu would imitate cats and tigers and promote nationwide reforms... but deep despair - Xiong Wuliang would no longer be loyal to me... …
My sincerity, my sincerity...
Now it looks like a joke!
Xiong Wuliang! You are so cruel!
He actually trampled my sincerity under his feet without mercy!
Except for me, there will never be anyone who cares about you so much! Do you know? ?
I am so sincere...
But you resolutely stayed in Chu State and left me...
pain! It hurts so much!
Think about the time when Xiong Wuliang was on his mission to the State of Qin, and they had a very happy conversation in the wine shop... The encounter was so beautiful, but the ending was so regretful...
After a brief period of pain, King Qin Yingji was furious!
He thought for a long time, and finally looked hard! It seems that something has been decided!
Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang, since you don’t want to be my servant in this life, then I can only let you submit to our Great Qin in the next life!
"Come here, change my clothes...go see the Queen Mother." Ying Ji breathed heavily.
…
Empress Dowager Xuan had just reviewed many official documents and now she stretched. The ministers in the palace quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the curves outlined by the Empress Dowager's thin clothes.
Today's government affairs have been taken care of, and all the ministers have retired, leaving only Wei Ran in the palace.
Today Wei Ran is the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, with overwhelming power - since the "Ji Jun Rebellion" was put down last winter, the opposition in the Qin government and the public has been wiped out. Now the whole country's government affairs are decided by the Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran .
As for King Qin...ha? What is King Qin?
"The King of Qin has arrived..." the servant outside the door announced loudly.
Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran looked over and saw Ying Ji striding in in a hurry, his eyes red, as if he had just cried...
Queen Mother Xuan frowned and asked very rudely, "My son, why are you in such a mess?"
"Do you still remember the etiquette of the king?"
"With such frivolity, how can I rest assured that you will be in charge..." Empress Dowager Xuan let out a long sigh.
Wei Ran also nodded repeatedly.
Ying Ji's heart skipped a beat, remembering Xiong Wuliang's assertion in the wine shop that "it is difficult for King Qin Ying Ji to govern himself", and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
What hurts is not that I can't be in charge, but that Xiong Wuliang's voice and smile are still in front of my eyes...
Ying Ji didn't care about the looks in the eyes of Queen Mother Xuan and Wei Ran, and calmed down: "I'm here today because of Xiong Wuliang!"
Queen Mother Xuan:?
Wei Ran:?
Xiong Wuliang? This is a familiar name—oh, by the way, it’s the popular Marquis Quyang of Chu!
Ying Ji gritted his teeth and began to explain in a deep voice——
First, he talked about the shortcomings of Qin Fa, the great talent that Xiong Wuliang showed at the beginning. It was this person who proposed it.
Then he said that he had been paying attention to Xiong Wuliang's news and was in an irreplaceable position in Chu's several foreign wars.
Queen Mother Xuan and Wei Ran were stunned!
"There is such a strange person?" Wei Ran's eyes widened!
The performance of Chu State in recent years is indeed a bit outrageous——
He fought to destroy Yue and annexed Yue to the east.
The Battle of Chuisha, repelling the tyrannical Qi offensive, was almost the trigger for the outbreak of the "Allied Forces Conquer Qi".
Then, the Chu State made a lot of money through the allied attack on Qi - it annexed the Song State to the north, and occupied a large area of fertile land in the south of Qi... Its power expanded unprecedentedly, and it had the potential to dominate the world.
Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran were originally surprised - such a backward and corrupt waste from the Chu State was beaten to a pulp by Qin in the Battle of Danyang... What kind of blood has it been beaten in the past few years? Why is it so violent all of a sudden?
Now listening to Qin Wang Ying Ji say this - it seems that all the credit lies with the same person!
Great Sima of Chu State! Marquis Quyang! Xiong Liang!
Ying Ji finished his long speech, raised his eyebrows at the end, and said fiercely through gritted teeth: "This person can be the prime minister in Wen, a general in Wu, and has talents in the world!"
"If it cannot be used by our Great Qin, it should be removed as soon as possible!"
"Please Queen Mother, please dispatch the 'Black Ice Platform'! Eliminate such powerful enemies for our Great Qin!" Ying Ji finished speaking in one breath, feeling empty in his heart.
At that moment, something in Ying Ji's heart seemed to break, and sour water flowed out of it.
Queen Mother Xuan and Wei Ran looked at each other, their expressions became serious!
Black ice platform! Established during the reign of our ancestor King Huiwen, it is the top espionage agency in Qin!
The purpose is to bribe the important ministers of the six countries, collect intelligence, and assassinate powerful enemies.
Although Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran valued power, they were both smart people... Especially Empress Dowager Xuan, who was the first woman in Chinese history to take charge of state affairs in the name of the Queen Mother. It is not too much to call her a hero in this world.
If such talents cannot be used by Qin, then they cannot be retained!
"In that case, then just follow what Ji'er said!" Empress Dowager Xuan's eyes became sharp.
In troubled times, what is most important?
Talent, talent!
Even if you are poor and have nothing, as long as you have talents, you will have money and food, and you will also have elite soldiers.
Xiong Wuliang, the young Grand Sima of Chu State, turned out to be such an astonishing talent.
Since you can't surrender, then kill him!
Empress Dowager Xuan picked up the pen, swished it, then rolled up the piece of paper and stuffed it into the bamboo tube. She ordered the maid next to her: "Go, take this order and hand it over to the Zhangtai Administration!"
