Qin asked

Chapter 27

After becoming the Queen of Qin, Ying Zheng immediately faced his first challenge: the Jinyang rebellion.

Jinyang was originally a city of the Jin State, and its strategic location was very important. When the three families were divided into Jin, it changed hands several times, and finally belonged to the State of Zhao. Meng Ao led his troops to attack Jinyang, and established Taiyuan County together with 247 cities including Taiyuan and Langmeng.

Perhaps because of years of wars, the people of Jinyang are full of blood and rebelliousness. They refused to accept the rule of Qin, and took advantage of the handover of Qin's throne, the people spontaneously organized. The momentum was quite large, and even affected the neighboring county Yangqu, etc. city.

Logically speaking, it is just an organization of the people, so it will not have such a big momentum, but Jinyang is very similar to Handan, and there must be Zhao Guo's hands and feet in it.

To pacify, of course, it must be pacified. How can there be any reason to lose the mountains and rivers laid down by the ancestors?

But what Yingzheng is worried about is not the treasury's military strength. The state of Qin left by his father is still very solid. Of course, Yingzheng will not squander it at will. With Mo Dou's attitude, the Qin state may encounter big troubles in the future.

The question that Yingzheng is worried about is who should be sent to solve this problem.

This is actually not a difficult question, and it can even be regarded as a question for giving points-whoever wins will be the most effective choice.

However, Meng Ao was the candidate designated by Lu Buwei. It was Lu Buwei who asked Meng Ao to conquer Jinyang. Of course, Lu Buwei also fully supported this time.

But Ying Zheng was hesitating: "Meng Ao was originally from Zhao, so there might be something wrong."

Ying Zheng didn't say this sentence at the court meeting, he just said "Let the widows think about it" at the court meeting, and then secretly went to the 'Baidu' workshop to discuss with Mo Dou.

Mo Dou was still worried about money at the time, and he lost money again.

Although it is said that Ying Zheng provided him with the materials, but the labor was done by Mo Dou. In other words, Mo Dou's workshop stopped working again, and most of the reward for that map was used to pay him to go with him. The master who exploded his liver, the remaining money is not enough for him to buy a piece of cloth as big as that map...

The dim light shone on the deficit ledger, and Mo Dou felt that his heart was as bleak as this room.

Mo Dou felt that he was a bit embarrassing to the traveler. There shouldn't be a traveler like him who couldn't even afford a lamp, right?

Then Ying Zheng came, Mo Dou twitched the corners of his mouth, and had no choice but to add a few oil lamps.

Anything involving fire is dangerous. Cooking can cause an explosion, and lighting a lamp can cause a fire. The sleeves of ancient clothes are long and wide. As long as one is not careful, a small spark can ignite the entire robe.

This was originally supposed to be done by servants, and it is much more convenient for servants to do things in short shirts, but now that Yingzheng is looking for him to talk secretly, it is not easy to call servants, so Mo Dou can only come by himself. Fortunately, Mo Dou has been doing handicrafts since he was a child. Quick and careful, if Ying Zheng were to do it, the entire lampstand might be overturned...

Ying Zheng watched Mo Dou lower his eyes and turn on the lamp. The lights flickered, making Mo Dou's eyes sparkle, and the anger in the hall disappeared a lot, and his body gradually relaxed.

After Mo Dou finished lighting the lamps and the hall was lit up, Ying Zheng yawned instead, leaving Mo Dou who was sitting upright waiting for Ying Zheng's question quite speechless.

"Why did the king come to find Dou?"

Ying Zheng talked about the matter in general, and summed up his worries: "Meng Ao was originally from Qi, so there may be something wrong."

Qi people?

Mo Dou frowned, this reason did not stand up at all.

It is true that Meng Ao was originally from the state of Qi, but he later defected to the state of Qin, and his official position was the highest.

However, Meng Ao served in the four dynasties of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, King Xiaowen of Qin, King Zhuangxiang of Qin, and Qin Shihuang.Successively captured more than ten cities in South Korea, more than 1 cities in Zhao State, and more than fifty cities in Wei State, enabling Qin State to establish Sanchuan County and Dong County, and let Qin State connect with Qi State, forming three sides to South Korea and Wei State The encirclement laid a solid foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify the six kingdoms in the future. (Note [-])

And not only is he himself powerful, but his son Meng Wu, his grandson Meng Tian, ​​and Meng Yi are all famous generals of the Qin State... The key point is that Meng Ao is Meng Tian's grandfather!

You don't want to use such a powerful general just because he is from Qi? !Then you don’t even have to go to court in Qin, who is not from another country?

Mo Dou seriously doubts whether Ying Zheng was also impaled, but this is also impossible. Which time traveler would not use Meng Tian's grandfather?

In fact, it's all excuses, Ying Zheng is just fighting against Lu Buwei, even if he changes anyone, he will be opposed by Ying Zheng.

But it's not good...

Mo Dou pursed his lips. It would be fine if it was just an ordinary struggle, but it is related to state affairs, and state affairs cannot be used for factional struggles. Otherwise, the direction of benefiting the people and the country will be eliminated from the root. Have you stumbled in the struggle of your children and grandchildren?

Mo Dou was thinking hard, but Ying Zheng took out the Rubik's Cube from his cuff and started spinning it in every possible way. The original sharp corners of the Rubik's Cube became smooth. It can be seen that the owner loves him very much and wants to turn it if he has nothing to do... Although I never fought back...

It stands to reason that Mo Dou should be very relieved, the gifts he sent out are valued by others, but can you be more serious, they are talking about Meng Ao, you are here to turn the Rubik's Cube with a completely different style of painting, okay? !

As if seeing the irritability in Mo Dou's heart, Ying Zheng comforted Mo Dou with a smile.

"I think Dou understands that what I care about is not Meng Qing's nationality, but my uncle. I also know that this is wrong, but I can't get rid of this knot. Can Dou have a law to cure this heart disease?"

Mo Dou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as you know you were wrong, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Your Majesty knows something is wrong, so Dou has nothing to comfort you. Duke Meng came to follow King Zhaoxiang of Qin in order to prosper his family and his descendants. Whoever can do this, Duke Meng will be loyal to him," Mo Dou said slowly for Yingzheng. Analysis, "Meng Gong has gone through four generations, and he has gone through a lot, so he naturally understands who is the power that will never fall in the court."

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the rituals collapsed, but after all, they did not reach the point where the courtiers usurped power and became the emperor. Even if it was decades before the first peasant uprising, so unless the country is destroyed, the monarch is the monarch and will not change.

Mo Dou talked a lot, and when he looked up, he saw Ying Zheng looking at him with a smile on his face, and he realized that Ying Zheng knew it all, so he got angry and shut his mouth.

"The widows have thought about it," Ying Zheng saw that Mo Dou had stopped talking, so he took up the conversation, "I'm just afraid that the widows will think about it, and now I can feel relieved after hearing it like this."

There was some sadness in Ying Zheng's tone, Mo Dou felt a little soft-hearted, and put himself in his shoes. If it was him, with such a minister holding such a general, he might be more panicked than Ying Zheng, but Mo Dou's anger is still not complete. It's gone, so I still ignore Ying Zheng.

Mo Dou still did not speak, Ying Zheng tilted his head and asked, "Is it true that Dou will not be an official in the court?"

It is a pity that Mo Dou is not an official Yingzheng. Such a person is useless. Yingzheng, who has always loved talents, is like a mouse that guards rice but cannot eat.

Of course Mo Dou was very tempted to become an official in the court, implement the New Deal, reform history and so on... But Mo Dou still gritted his teeth and rejected this idea.

Because he discovered that what he needs most is not power. Power is very important, especially in this era, when he can do a lot of things, but also in this era, power only depends on a word from the king. trust.

With this trust, the New Deal reforms are all things that go with the flow, just like his glass refining...

In history, Qin Xiaogong and Shang Yang created a miracle because of this kind of trust, but Mo Dou still did not dare to gamble like Shang Yang.

The ending of Shang Yang's five-horse-divided corpse is one aspect, and another aspect is that Mo Dou doesn't know how long this trust can last if he enters the court as an official.

Leaving aside what will happen to Yingzheng in the future, Mo Dou alone already has the above doubts about Yingzheng. As long as there is a crack, it will only grow bigger and bigger in the end, and it is irreparable. It is better to just give up This road is clean and worry-free.

Seeing Mo Dou shaking his head, Ying Zheng sighed, "It's a pity."

Mo Dou smiled: "Does the King wish to have one more subject under his command, or do he wish to have such a place to go at night?"

Yingzheng was taken aback for a moment, trying to understand Mo Dou's meaning, thought for a while, and smiled, partly relieved and partly helpless: "I have enough ministers, but you are the only one here, that's all, I won't ask you in the future .”

That's good, at least here, he can abandon any precautions, doubts, and anxieties. If there is no such place, then it will be too hard for him to be the King of Qin...
