Zhang Liang sat on the table, his hands and feet were cold.
He was shocked by Qin Ting's decisiveness and fierceness. Qin Ting's actions were so scary that even he felt a little creepy.
When I really calmed down, I felt deeply frightened.
This fear comes from deep inside.
Hate Qin Fa!
Zhang Liang naturally understood the origin of this disgust. There were various things he had heard since he was a child, as well as the tyranny of tigers and wolves that his elders often scolded. With the fall of Korea, this disgust has been gradually suppressed in his heart. Now that he is seeing After Qin Ting's actions, this feeling of disgust emerged from his heart again.
And it’s hard to erase for a long time.
Qin Fa!
What shocked him this time was not that he was shocked by the intensity of the punishment, but that he was shocked by Qin Ting's courage.
Nearly the entire Tingwei Mansion was demoted, especially Meng Yi from the Meng clan, who was directly dismissed from his post. Other related officials were also demoted and demoted.
And he can't act neatly and neatly.
In less than half a month, the decision was made.
This courage cannot be described as lack of determination.
What also frightened Zhang Liang was the people's support for Qin Ting. As the skinny young man informed the notice, the entire store was filled with joy, turning into a sea of joy. However, how much of the content of these notices had nothing to do with them? closely related?
Probably not.
However, it still makes Qin people feel happy.
Why?
This matter seemed to announce to the people of Qin and the world that "Qin Fa" was back, and the Qin court that had convinced the people in the past was also back.
Take action when it's time to take action, and punish when it's time to punish.
Treat everyone equally.
Even Meng Yi is no exception.
This is the appearance of Qin Ting, whom the people of Qin used to trust.
That Qin court was the Qin under Shang Yang.
Zhang Liang knew very well that no one in Qin wanted to go back to that era, but they had an inexplicable favorable impression of the Qin State under Shang Yang's rule. This favorable impression did not originate from Shang Yang, nor did it originate from the almost harsh policies at that time. Law, but originated from the equal treatment under Qin law at that time.
It also comes from Shang Yang’s push to govern the people first and govern the officials.
This rule has been gradually ignored by the Qin court in the past hundred years, but this time the Qin court's behavior seemed to tell the world that the Qin court picked it up again.
The people of Qin were excited about this.
Zhang Liang only felt solemn in his heart.
If Da Qin really goes back to the old path, I am afraid that the people's support that was originally lost will gradually come back. After all, the people are born out of poverty. Seeing that the officials are also miserable, they will probably feel a lot of comfort.
At that time, it may be difficult for the nobles of the six countries to shake Qin Ting.
immediately.
Zhang Liang shook his head.
He had calmed down, and after careful consideration, he did not think that Qin Ting would go back to Shang Yang's old path. Even if Ying Zheng wanted to go back, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not agree.
Who would think of adding a sharp knife to their head?
even so.
Zhang Liang also felt deeply helpless.
A few days ago, the people of Qin were so angry that they were on the verge of losing control. However, in just a few days, the people of Qin changed from panic to singing praises, from scolding to the current situation of His Majesty being wise and the great Qin people. In 2016, this change was somewhat too rapid.
It’s also too immediate.
Zhang Liang closed the windows tightly, not wanting to listen to the cheers outside.
The cheers of the Qin people have nothing to do with him.
All he felt was the noise.
He poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it in large gulps. A chill hit his abdomen. Zhang Liang couldn't bear the cold. There was even a touch of pain on his face, but he soon returned to normal.
He was sitting at the table and began to examine today's notice.
But before Zhang Liang could think about it, there was a rush of footsteps at the door, and then without any notification, there was just a bang, and the closed door was pushed open.
He Yao ran in hurriedly.
He said with a serious face: "Brother Zifang, have you heard about today's notice? Is Qin Ting crazy? Does Ying Zheng really regard the scholar-bureaucrats as pigeons? Doesn't he care about the feelings of the officials at all?"
"That's outrageous!"
"Such a rude behavior is outrageous and cruel!"
"The tyranny of the tyrant!"
Zhang Liang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak. He just asked He Yao to quiet down, then pointed to his ears and asked He Yao to listen to the sounds around him.
He Yao blushed even more when she heard the cheers and excitement around her.
"The dog won't eat!"
"These Qin people are all the same."
"There is no order of honor or inferiority."
"Ignorant of etiquette and education!"
He Yao cursed angrily.
He indeed hated Bao Qin, but now that he saw Bao Qin punishing the gentry and officials and even attacking the government offices, he felt extremely angry.
The tyrant Ying Zheng now has no face left.
Destined to be despised by scholars!
Hear the words.
Zhang Liang shook his head.
He had already calmed down and said calmly: "Brother He, don't be so nervous. Have you ever heard that the Yan Kingdom bought horse bones for thousands of gold? What Qin Ting does now is 'horse bones for thousands of gold'."
"In recent years, people all over the world have been in dire straits, and most people in the world are complaining."
"Qin Ting has always been aloof, so it is also criticized by the world. What Qin Ting is doing now is to curry favor with the Qin people by interrogating the Tingwei Mansion, and making the Qin people mistakenly think that the Qin Dynasty will strictly enforce Qin laws."
"Actually, it's just about buying people's hearts."
"If Qin Ting really follows Shang Yang's old path, it will be a good thing for us. Officials will not talk about having children, and without external pressure, Qin Ting will only cause internal chaos."
"If Qin Ting really gets through, we will basically have no hope of restoring the country."
"But it's impossible."
"Even if Ying Zheng is extremely talented, he can't resist the fierce people's hearts."
He Yao felt a little at ease.
He looked at Zhang Liang and understood that Zhang Liang was thinking much more deeply than he was. He nodded and asked, "Brother Zifang, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
"You can't let it win people's hearts, right?"
"If we really let the violent Qin succeed, will it only become more difficult to deal with in the future?"
Zhang Liang's fingertips crossed the surface of the case, leaving a pale mark. He shook his head calmly and said: "There is no way, nothing can be done. This is the matter of the Qin Dynasty. We cannot interfere and are not qualified to touch it. "
"even"
"We have no idea what happened in Da Qin."
He Yao frowned.
His eyes were full of unwillingness.
He said anxiously: "Are we just waiting like this? Let Bao Qin win over people's hearts. Now the Qin people have a lot of support for Bao Qin. If we don't take the opportunity to interrupt, this will be a huge blow to our future destruction of Qin and restoration of the country. resistance."
Zhang Liang was silent.
How could he not know?
But what can they do?
This was something Qin Ting had planned for a long time. How could they easily destroy it?
What's more, Qin Ting's goal has been achieved now.
Thousands of gold buy bones.
Now it seems to be effective.
Firstly, the people of Qin have been resentful for a long time and urgently need a way to vent their resentment. Secondly, the Qin court punished extremely quickly and made the punishment at the speed of thunder. It was so powerful and wide-ranging that it was probably very difficult in the history of Qin. Find the correspondence.
Because of this.
Only then can the people of Qin be convinced.
It's a done deal, how can they interrupt it?
Zhang Liang stood up, poured a glass of cold water for He Yao, then returned to his seat and continued to sort out the clues of the whole incident, trying to find some clues and prevent Qin Ting's subsequent actions.
The room gradually became quiet.
He Yao knew that Zhang Liang was thinking, so he didn't dare to disturb him. He just stood there sulking.
Zhang Liang frowned. After thinking for a while, an idea gradually came into his mind, and he even came up with a bold guess.
What Qin Ting did was intended to continue!
His focus has always been on the court.
Therefore, after the official transfer, I immediately thought of filling in the officials. In addition, I had already realized that Qin Ting intended to make adjustments to the court, so I quickly used this to clarify a line.
Because he hates Qin.
So he knows the Daqin government offices very well.
After just a brief thought, I figured out some situations.
Zhang Liang said calmly: "This time the Qin court's 'buying bones for a thousand gold' is actually Ying Zheng's attempt to get rid of the influence of the heroes' power on the court. Buying bones for a thousand gold is what we think, and it is also recognized by the people of Qin, but in fact This is not Ying Zheng’s purpose at all.”
"He is still cleaning up the court."
"When the Qin Dynasty was founded, due to the shortage of officials, in addition to re-employing old officials from the Six Kingdoms, they also hired the children of meritorious officials. At present, most of the children of meritorious officials who are capable have already been sent out to serve as county governors. For example, Li Si's son Li You , Yang Duanhe's son Yang Xiong, etc., and many other mediocre people were placed in the Tingwei Mansion, which had lost power."
"Although the official position is not high, the number of people is very large."
"With the shadow of my father's generation, I only need to endure for a while, and I can be promoted to a high position."
"Ying Zheng may be dissatisfied with this, so he has been using various reasons to drive these children of meritorious officials out of the court."
The words fell.
A look of wisdom flashed across Zhang Liang's eyes.
He said calmly: "If my guess is correct, Ying Zheng seems to be intending to continue the policy launched by the founding of the Qin Dynasty to stabilize the world, and gradually eliminate the original emergency measures, so as to avoid being mediocre in the court. , affecting the normal operation of the court."
"What happened in Huai County is just a driving force."
"The purpose is to target the children of meritorious officials under the emergency policy."
Zhang Liang showed a hint of approval in his eyes.
He also had to praise a few words. Ying Zheng's vicious vision and sharp attacks were completely beyond ordinary people's expectations. It was just a small incident caused by a businessman, but he directly went to war with the court.
This also won high praise from the people of Qin.
The method can be described as brilliant.
He Yao frowned.
He wondered: "Then according to what you said, what does continuation mean?"
"Even if Ying Zheng intends to suppress the forces of heroes, it is only limited to the forces of heroes. Where does the word "continuation" come from?
He Yao looked puzzled.
Zhang Liang chuckled and said with a smile: "This is just my personal guess."
"Extended from this."
"What Da Qin has done in the past six months can only be described in two words."
"Reinforcement."
"Consolidate our foundation in Guanzhong, and then conquer the world!"
"Ying Zheng is no longer eager to impose his own decrees on the world, but has set his sights on Guanzhong. He now has sufficient energy to inspect the court."
"So we first saw the hidden dangers of the heroes' children."
"In order to prevent the tail from being too big to fall off, we took decisive action and dealt with it directly."
"And this is just the beginning."
"Ying Zheng is a moody person. He will not allow the Great Qin he established to be destroyed by others. Therefore, when he discovers a problem, he will definitely find a way to solve it."
"And if we want to stabilize Guanzhong, we must clear away our old habits."
"The first thing to bear the brunt is the emergency decree issued at the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Ying Zheng will correct the earlier decree, or to be precise, continue it. Ying Zheng is an arrogant person. He will not admit that he has made mistakes. He will only correct them. Therefore, subsequent corrections will be made to those decrees.”
"What ones are there?" He Yao asked.
Zhang Liang frowned.
He thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "Books with the same text, cars with the same track, unified weights and measures, etc., policies that have basically caused complaints among the people will be corrected to a certain extent on the basis of the original policy. On the basis of the original policy, a series of repairs will be made. .”
As soon as he said these words, a look of fear appeared in his eyes.
Seeing this, He Yao quickly asked: "Brother Zifang, what did you think of again?"
"No, no." Zhang Liang shook his head repeatedly, his face was extremely serious, and he said in a serious voice: "If Ying Zheng really does this, it will undoubtedly be shocking news for us."
"We still underestimate Ying Zheng's methods."
Zhang Liang sat up from the table.
He kept walking around the house, and the uneasiness in his eyes became even stronger.
He Yao walked quickly to Zhang Liang.
But he didn't know what Zhang Liang thought of and had such a big reaction?
Zhang Liang said in a deep voice: "If Great Qin really continues its policy, it will complete a transformation, and Great Qin will become even more powerful. It is simply not something we can compete with."
Before He Yao could speak, Zhang Liang continued speaking on his own.
He said: "Many of Da Qin's current policies are temporary and emergency, and many of them are implemented in accordance with conventions. They are not in line with the actual conditions of various places and are difficult for the world to accept."
"We are happy to see Qin Ting issue new orders in recent years."
"Because this is cutting yourself off from the world."
"But if the Qin court really starts to make drastic changes to the old policies, it will be unbearable pain for us, because the Qin Dynasty is now continuing the new order, not at the beginning, but after seeing it The old order has been implemented for a period of time, and modifications and adjustments were made after knowing the hidden concerns."
"There is a slang among the people."
"It's called crossing the river by feeling for the stones."
"The Qin Dynasty swept through the six countries and unified the universe. This situation has never happened before. Therefore, many of the policies of the Qin Dynasty were implemented in a hurry without much deliberation. Although many of the directions cannot be called wrong, they fell into The world seems unrealistic.”
"That's why."
"There are no stones to touch when crossing the river in Da Qin."
"But after the implementation of the New Deal in the past few years, Ying Zheng threw a few stones into the river. Now he has a preliminary understanding of the river through his own actual feelings. What is even more rare is that just before Da Qin was about to drown, In fact, he actually walked back and now begins to make changes to the path he has taken."
"If Da Qin is really allowed to open this road."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for the world to shake Qin in a short time."
"The power of Qin, which has truly united the world, will be beyond our imagination."
"What's even more unfavorable to us is that the current policies of Da Qin are already evil and tyrannical for the world. If we make corrections on the original basis, no matter how bad it gets, it will hardly get worse. It will only get better. There are even 'lessons from the past' , Qin Ting’s correction will be much easier.”
"Big bad!!!"
He Yao's expression changed suddenly after hearing Zhang Liang's words.
He also understood.
If, as Zhang Liang said, Ying Zheng starts to make changes, it will undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue for them, and this situation is actually unlikely to happen.
But Ying Zheng is different.
This man has great courage and skill.
In addition, these policies have been implemented by him, and changing them day and night is nothing. As long as Ying Zheng wants to make changes, he can definitely introduce them.
He Yao's face turned pale.
He knows it very well.
Ying Zheng can do it.
For a tyrant like Ying Zheng, it was common for him to change his orders overnight. He was deeply ashamed of this, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not change it at all.
"Brother Zifang, what should we do now?" His voice was already trembling.
Zhang Liang looked equally ugly.
Before he came to Xianyang, he never thought about this at all. He always thought that Qin Ting was still the same as before. But after staying in Xianyang for a few days, he realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
Qin Ting has changed a long time ago!
But they never noticed it.
He is also used to deceiving himself and others, hoping that Qin Ting will make frequent mistakes and then destroy himself.
the reality is cruel.
Crush their illusions to pieces.
Zhang Liang looked solemn and said calmly: "Don't panic now. This is just my personal guess. Ying Zheng may not really do this. Even if Qin Ting wants to regroup, it still has a long way to go. Inside and outside the court, The opposition will not be small.”
"We still have time."
"Otherwise."
"Ying Zheng doesn't have that much time."
"A few months ago, Ying Zheng killed the alchemist who was refining medicine for him. Most of you and I know what the alchemist was like. If Ying Zheng hadn't been in extremely bad health, how would he have taken the medicinal stones refined by the alchemist?"
"He won't live long!"
"When people die and government ceases, it will come naturally."
"Fusu has political disagreements with Ying Zheng, so he may not really do what Ying Zheng says. Moreover, Fusu doesn't have the toughness and courage of Ying Zheng, so he can't change many things."
"But precaution is essential."
"When we go back, we must inform the other nobles about this matter. We must work together vigorously. If we continue to fight independently, it may be difficult to capsize the giant ship of Da Qin."
"Whatever the final outcome is, we can no longer take our chances."
"The Qin Dynasty must perish!!!"
A flash of determination flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes.
He no longer dared to have any luck with Qin Ting.
The changes in Qin Ting are unpredictable, and no one knows what Qin Ting will do next. If they really learn from the painful experience and make drastic corrections to the old policies, they will be unable to respond in time and will only be beaten by one step. Eaten away in every step.
Is this acceptable to them?
"The Qin Dynasty must perish!" He Yao clenched his fists, and his originally panicked heart became calm at this moment.
Zhang Liang looked at He Yao, his eyes still filled with sorrow.
He said: "There is no point in continuing to stay in Xianyang. Let's pack up and leave later."
"No more in-depth investigation?" He Yao was stunned.
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "No need, we can't find anything. We have no power in Xianyang, and others avoid us. What can we find out just by relying on rumors?"
"Besides."
"I have already counted the changes in Qin Ting."
"If Qin Ting takes any further action in the future, it can be used as verification."
"After all, the excitement of Xianyang is not what I'm waiting for. The destination I'm waiting for is in Xinzheng and Yingchuan."
He Yao nodded.
He has been traveling around for the past few days, but he has found very little information. Korea was destroyed by Qin first, so the Koreans in Qin moved here the earliest. Now these people have long since stopped thinking about Korea and are not willing to provide information at all. Help, there won’t be much result if you continue to stay.
It is better to go back.
The two simply cleaned up, said a few words to Toneri, and then left.
Leave with a smile on your face.
It seems that the nearby counties came here specifically to inquire about the government's situation. Now they have obviously received a satisfactory response from the government and are ready to go home to report the good news.
Others in the store smiled and sent each other off.
Zhang Liang and He Yao also felt helpless and could only smile in return.
With the clatter of horse hooves, the two disappeared into the streets of Xianyang.
After leaving the city gate, Zhang Liang looked back at the towering Xianyang City, with a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes.
Only by destroying such a great Qin can one be considered a great blessing in life.
Only then can we avenge the shame of national subjugation!
However, there has always been a doubt in his mind. Qin Ting's turn was too fast, so fast that it was dizzying. He was very puzzled and wanted to know whether this was the consensus of the Qin court or the First Emperor and a few officials. idea.
If it were the consensus of the court, it would be too terrifying.
Most of the officials of the Qin Dynasty were dedicated to serving the country. How easy would it be to destroy Qin in such a grand situation?
If only a few people think.
It's also amazing.
A wise man plots the world like a demon, that's all.
Even if you leave.
He still hasn't thought clearly.
He did not inform He Yao of this doubt.
At present, Qin Ting has taken action. If the nobles of the six countries do not respond, they will only be cannibalized by Qin Ting step by step. In the end, they will lose the chance to struggle and become prisoners of Qin Ting.
How easy is it to unite the nobles of the six countries?
At that time, Su Qin had the seal of the Six Kingdoms and joined forces to fight against Qin, but in the end his body and head were separated. Now that the Six Kingdoms have been destroyed, it will not be possible to integrate the remaining forces of the Six Kingdoms in a short time.
The only thing he hoped for was that the nobles of the six countries could put aside their differences and work together to achieve great things.
Qin Ting will not leave them much time.
When Qin Ting completely stabilizes Guanzhong, he will definitely set his sights on Guandong.
How could the people of Qin, who were waiting for danger, be able to compete with their scattered sand? But they can no longer afford defeat. The current Qin State is far more terrifying than the Qin State when it destroyed the Six Kingdoms.
It’s also more brutal!
Zhang Liang turned around, pinched the horse's belly, and rode away.
The city was buzzing with people.
The people of Qin rushed to tell each other and discussed the Qin court's handling. The people's hearts, which had been somewhat lost, had been greatly improved by this incident. While the people were shocked, they also lamented the courage of the court.
At the same time, there were also people who fought against Meng Yi.
However, this excitement was no match for the reality. After Tieguan Yanguan issued notices one after another to formally select craftsmen, prisoners, and ministers with corresponding skills, most people rushed over to try to get a bite of 'official food'.
When a large amount of salt and iron was transported from Aocang, the mood was pushed to its peak again.
The excitement continued.
It was not until spring plowing came and people started to work in the fields in Guizhou that the excitement gradually subsided.
And it was already the month of Mengxia (April).
