Li Sidao: "Destroy Korea and intimidate Shandong."

Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers indifferently, and said, "What about you?"

Li Si took another step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the merits of all generations are at this moment. Han Fei is the son of South Korea. What he said is to go to Zhao Cunhan, not for my Daqin."

Han Fei stuttered a little, and there was a pause in his speech. At this time, he said, "Dare to ask Li Keqing, is there a sentence in what I said, which is not the current situation?"

"South Korea has always served Qin, and it is almost the same as the counties and counties of Daqin. For several years, it has been cautious, contributed to Daqin's conquest, and for Qin's benefit, it has taken its own charges and offended all countries. For example, if Daqin really destroys Han, it will only Let other countries see that serving Qin will only lead to perishment, so which country is willing to serve Qin and serve Qin?"

"Secondly, the state of Zhao has always been covetous, and regards Qin as a serious threat, attracting many forces to join forces and wait for the opportunity. If Qin sends troops to destroy South Korea, then at this time, the state of Zhao will definitely form an alliance with the state of Wei, and the two powerful countries will join forces. Great Qin may not be able to win.

"Thirdly, South Korea is surrounded by enemies on all sides. For a hundred years, it has survived wars. Although its national strength is weak and weak, it is extremely proficient in cunning warfare. It will not be easy to destroy Korea. I dare you, Your Majesty, three, think about the future. "

Li Si gave him a cold look, and said, "Well, then please tell me, my lord, if Qin really attacked Zhao, wouldn't South Korea form an alliance with Chu to reap the benefits?"

Ying Zheng said, "Li Qing."

Li Si said: "Although Han Fei is in Daqin, he is still in Korea with all his heart. He is not on the same road as my generation. In my opinion, this grand plan must start with the destruction of Korea. The reason why Qin's national power has become stronger and stronger in the past century is because I followed the plan of 'distanced friendship and close attack'. South Korea borders Qin, and it has always been a heart disease of my Great Qin. Your Majesty, the heart disease must be cured, or he will counterattack in the future. If you don't take advantage of the decline of Korea and Japan, and wait for it to become stronger, It's too late!"

Ying Zheng looked slightly at the crowd below, stood up and said, "Let's discuss it later."

In 230 BC, Qin Shihuang Yingzheng planned a grand plan to destroy the six kingdoms. Han Feishang dismissed Zhao Cunhan, but Li Sili refuted it.

Among the two completely different political views of the two ministers, Ying Zheng did not say which one he preferred. Instead, he sent Han Fei's report to the ministers and asked them to express their political opinions. There was no conclusion for several days. .

A carriage arrived at the gate of the city, handed over a document, the gate supervisor glanced at it, and let it go.

The carriage went directly to the palace gate, its appearance was unremarkable and did not attract any attention.Han Fei stood on the palace wall, watching the car enter the palace gate from a distance.

"People are coming," Zhao Gao said, "Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng sat at the low table, a curtain fell in front of him, which separated him from the atrium, and said, "Come in."

Someone shouted outside the door: "Xuanjian—"

A handsome young man jumped out of the carriage. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his appearance and temperament made him look more advanced. A big boy's head popped out from the carriage. The man smiled brightly and was extremely handsome, and waved at him.Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "Wait for me to come back, okay?"

Kang Tu also laughed: "Wow!"

Kang Tu sat back again, Zhao Zheng looked up at the vermilion gate, he was very familiar with every brick and tile here, he even knew that after entering here, turn right, without taking two steps, put a white Porcelain gold-rimmed vase with a large line drawing of peonies painted on it.

He stepped in, stopped in front of Ying Zheng's curtain, and sat directly on the soft cushion below.

This kind of cushion also existed in Zhao Ji's palace, and the fabric used was the same as the pillow skin of Yingzheng's childhood.

Zhao Zheng was the first to say: "See Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng said, "Are you the god in the rumors?"

"It's nothing but praise from the world," Zhao Zheng replied, "just begging for a living."

Ying Zheng asked, "Your name is Zheng?"

Zhao Zheng replied, "Yes."

"Which government?"

"Rules, logic, flowers and trees, one leaf and one bodhi policy," Zhao Zheng said indifferently, "I don't decide what a person's name is. I might change it."

Ying Zheng said, "Do you know why I want to see you?"

"It's not because His Majesty wants to see me," Zhao Zheng said, "I also want to see you, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

Ying Zheng said casually: "You are Han's guest minister. If you have something to say, I will give you some time."

"Your Majesty has already made up his mind," Zhao Zheng said, "What's the point of saying it or not?"

"What do I have to count?"

Zhao Zheng said: "Your Majesty appreciates Han Fei's talent and character, but does not agree with his political views. Han Fei is different from Li Si. Although Li Si is from Chu, he was born as a commoner and has no affection for Chu. Han Fei is the son of South Korea. South Korea is his country and his home. He loves his country, so he wants to protect his country. Han Fei's plan to attack Zhao seems to be perfect, but it is actually used to attack South Korea It's the same in the above, - it all depends on how His Majesty decides."

Ying Zheng raised his eyes, looked at him and said, "In that case, what are you going to do for Han?"

"Keep Han Fei alive." Zhao Zheng said, "Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms is a fixed number. The respected counselor is Han Fei."

Ying Zheng said: "If South Korea is destroyed, how can Han Fei serve me faithfully?"

"South Korea is not destroyed," Zhao Zheng said, "he will be swayed. If there are no six countries in this world, only Qin is left, then Qin is his home, and he can only serve his own country."

Ying Zheng remained silent for a long while.

Zhao Zheng continued: "If you want to destroy Han, first take Nanyang, then Xinzheng, send advisers to Chu and Wei, bribe important officials, control the decision of the two kings, hold them still, send three percent of the troops to conquer Han, half a year The capital can be taken within a short period of time, and South Korea has no room to fight back."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold," Ying Zheng said, "How can Wei and Chu just sit idly by?"

Zhao Zheng said: "They will never send troops. On the one hand, Han's army is weak, poor and weak. In the eyes of Wei and Chu, the Great Qin's destruction of Han is just like sweeping the snow in front of the door. It is necessary to take action. But when you destroy Zhao, you have to be careful. Zhao has the strongest military force in the three kingdoms in Shandong. If South Korea is destroyed, Zhao will be prepared for danger in peace and will form an alliance with Wei. At this time, you have to buy powerful ministers, confuse the monarch, and cover up Their eyes and ears disturb the pool of water, so that they can't see clearly the interests in front of them, if the other five countries form an alliance, then Yao and Jia can use it a second time."

Ying Zheng fell into deep thought for a long time.

Zhao Zheng continued: "At any time, the alliance of five countries is the biggest threat. At this time, it can be lured. The king of a country is just the most important minister of a country, and he will also have his own interests. As long as he gives favors Can be easily controlled."

"Don't be greedy for merit," Zhao Zheng said. "After Zhao was destroyed, Wei was destroyed. Zhao and Wei have always had close contacts. When you attack Zhao, Lord Xinling will definitely not stand idly by. He may contact other countries at this time to organize resistance." Qin, although Mr. Xinling is a loyal person, he is short-sighted and has no ambitions and strategies. As long as he offers small benefits and a little provocation, these alliances can be broken. Don't send troops easily. The legalist way lies in: power, technique, and power .”

Ying Zheng said, "What if we have to use troops?"

"Keep your strength and only send out five percent of your troops," Zhao Zheng said. "The historical facts of besieging Wei and saving Zhao are right in front of you. Don't be greedy for credit, don't be greedy for credit. Panic in the heart, no matter how powerful they are, they can't be disintegrated, and it will be difficult to attack them."

Ying Zheng: "Continue talking."

Zhao Zheng said: "If the state of Wei is destroyed, the next step is Chu. The state of Chu has no strong generals, so send Wang Jian to fight and defeat them. At this time, you have already destroyed Han, Zhao, and Wei. The Chu army must be timid. Remember, At this time, Wang Jian must be sent to fight, and the Meng family can also, because at this time, there is no way to lose a single battle, and the Chu army cannot have a glimmer of hope. .”

Ying Zheng said, "So what if we lose?"

"The class teacher returns to the court," Zhao Zheng said, "the sad army will win, don't fight any more, the arrogant army will be defeated, wait for three years, then go to attack, and kill him with one blow."

Ying Zheng: "..."

Zhao Zheng said: "At this time, the general situation of the world has been determined. You can do it yourself. Li Si is a generation of three talents and can be reused, but he is extremely extreme and cannot be trusted. After Chu is destroyed, you can use Han Xin. Afterwards, he should see the situation clearly. Being involved in the general trend of the world, he still draws on the feelings of his family and country, which is too naive, but it is also understandable, people are always fans of the authorities, and he wants to protect his country too much, so see You don't know the situation, and when the Chu Kingdom is destroyed, he will almost be awake, he and Li Si have always been at odds, at this time, the two important ministers on opposite sides will be your right-hand men, allowing you to see the world more clearly."

"The safest thing is to hold power in your own hands," Zhao Zheng said. "Don't trust any cronies too much. Li Si can't do it, and neither can Han Xin. Zhao Gao, that eunuch, can't be reused."

Ying Zheng said, "You came here as a guest of South Korea, but you didn't say a word for South Korea. What is your purpose?"

Zhao Zheng: "I don't belong to any country. I only talk about this for the sake of the world. You can believe me or not. There are some things that you will do even if I don't tell you. It doesn't matter if I say or not."

"Who did you study under?"

Zhao Zheng paused and said, "No one."

Ying Zheng was a little emotional, and said: "My teacher—never told me about this. His eyes are always on the ministers under his feet. It seems that controlling these ministers is the only joy in this life."

Lu Buwei, Zhao Zheng thought to himself, Lu Buwei is not without ambition, he is just too old, when people are old, they will always be tainted with fear and greed, and refuse to let go of those things in their hands.

"Since you also have such ambitions," Ying Zheng said, "Why don't you stay in Qin State, I promise you as a guest, you will be on the same rank as Li Si."

Zhao Zhengdao: "No, I don't belong here, I'm leaving soon."

Ying Zheng said, "Doesn't belong here?"

"I'm a passer-by," Zhao Zheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is your world. No matter how much others tell you or give you advice, in the end all power of life and death will still fall into your hands, and you will be allowed to do it." Decided, I've said it all, and I should go."

"Since you're here," Ying Zheng said, "you might as well say more."

When Zhao Zheng thought about it, there was nothing wrong with it, so he said, "What are you talking about?"

Ying Zheng changed his posture slightly, leaned back, and said, "Talk about the world, the world, the people, why can't you and I talk?"

Zhao Zheng said, "Say it."

Ying Zheng: "Do you think this world will always belong to Da Qin?"

Zhao Zheng frowned slightly, as if thinking about it, Ying Zheng said, "But it's okay to say."

Zhao Zhengdao: "No."

"Sure enough," Ying Zheng said, "Speak carefully."

Zhao Zheng said: "Civilization is not yet stable, and there are flaws in all kingdoms. This world is not just the land you can see, there is a wider place that we can't see for the time being. All the regimes are like The water that is temporarily held in the hand will be lost sooner or later and return to the sea. I am a passer-by in this land, and so are you, and everyone is. No one can control the world forever, but only temporarily keep it for future generations. Just holding water."

Ying Zheng said: "Since I am a passer-by, these things belong to me in the era I live in, so for me, they are eternity."

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "You can also say that."

Ying Zheng said: "But I don't understand. I spent so much effort to destroy the six countries, but in the end I can only have it for a few years. What is it for?"

Zhao Zheng said: "After this, thousands of generations, their blessings and happiness are all due to your merits and demerits, and they are all your descendants."

Ying Zheng: "It's too empty."

Notes:

I refer to the historical records, as well as the explanations given by Professor Wang Liqun and Yi Zhongtian on the Qin State and the Yingzheng’s destruction of the Six Kingdoms in the Hundred Forums, but don’t believe that this is the original history, no, I have changed it a bit.
