Emperor Qin

The news of the state of Qi made King Qin pull out all the recent documents related to Qi, and took A Jiang to discuss it.

According to the news sent back by the spies of Qin State, since the beginning of October, Qi State has entered a stage of great changes in dire straits.

Even the king of Qin didn't expect that just suppressing the two things of salt and iron would cause chaos in Qi State in such a short period of time-according to A Jiang, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yan Jiang went through all the recent information carefully, and only then did he basically understand the chaos in Qi.

The most important thing in this chaos is not salt and iron. The price of salt and iron is cheap. too much.

The source of this refugee wave is actually King Qin himself!

During the half a year when the Qin State stopped to recuperate, the invincible Qin Wangzheng poured all his abundant energy on the old land of the Five Kingdoms, compiled household registration, made fields, checked old nobles, and dispatched officials. Heavy government affairs are not only not a burden for this emperor through the ages, but rather a beautiful state of life.

In addition, Han Fei was promoted to a meritorious service officer and learned about the customs of various countries. He accepted Han Fei's invitation to select talents from the scholars of various countries in the Xianyang Academy. After training Qin Fa, he was briefly released to become a Qin official. There is not enough time, so the people of these six countries learned the Qin law, which is simplified-according to the words of later generations, it focuses on the scope of criminal law such as murder and robbery, and the ordinary civil law is still based on the original local routine.

In such a huge amount of work, the King of Qin remained calm and composed. Like a bulldozer, he moved the old nobles in Chu, killed them, copied them, replaced them with Qin officials, and even had time to open up the counties one by one. The county officials report on their work every month, and then point out the deficiencies.

Then, he asked all the dignitaries from all over the world to move to Xianyang, and even set a special land quota, and no one who exceeded this quota could escape!

From King Qin's point of view, these are all unstable factors, and it's more reassuring to put them under his nose.

Under the general screening of combing their hair, many nobles who were on the list also let go of their luck, packed up their cars, horses and money, and fled to Qi State.

Therefore, in the few months after Yan Jiang left Qi, the migration of people from the six countries not only did not decrease, but increased even more violently.

At this time, Qin's government of salt and iron forced the purchase of salt and iron in Qidi at a low price, and for a while, food prices skyrocketed.

The old nobles who had subjugated the country had originally fled. Most of them had little money and a large number of people. In the end, they actually formed a bandit army and plundered the village several times. For a while, the common people of Qi hated these fugitives. Also tired of these exiles.

As for the refugees who had already arrived in Qi State, after the chaos at the beginning, the exiled nobles gradually gained a firm foothold in Qi State. The vassals fell, and other newcomers and old nobles gathered around them to pursue their own interests, so they gathered in Linzi, hoping that King Qi would send troops to restore them to the country.

In their view, as long as King Qi helps them, they can return to the old land, drive the Qin people out of their homes, and regain the motherland. Qi has also experienced the pain of subjugation, and they are definitely willing. It must be unstoppable.

But how Qi Wangjian sent the sheep to the tiger's mouth instead, he immediately refused sternly, and Hou Sheng even advised them to endure it or get out, and don't treat himself as a master.

How reconciled are the former nobles of the subjugated country? In a rage, Wei Guozong's Wei Bao recruited strong men and attacked Hou Sheng, a staunch peacemaker. If it weren't for Hou Sheng's guards who resisted desperately, the Prime Minister of Qi State would have almost died on the street.

Hou Sheng then dragged his sick body and wrote to the King of Qi to expel these subjugated nobles who harassed the common people. This proposal was also agreed by Qi State.

Qi Wang agreed.

This can poke a hornet's nest.

The former noble group of the subjugated country went to the coalition army, under the slogan of "recovering Lu and destroying Tian", saying that they would throw off the Tian family who stole the Qi state, and re-establish Jiang Taigong's Lu family descendant as the lord of the Qi state.

What is even more surprising is that the 50 imperial guards of the Qi State Palace actually made the subjugated soldiers of less than [-] beat their heads and flee—the ones who are willing to go into exile with their families are the last and strongest soldiers of these five countries. Although he and the others are bereaved dogs in front of the Qin army, they are simply crushing the soldiers of Qi who have not mobilized a single soldier for [-] years.

Zhao Xie, the leader of Zhao Guozong's family, heard that they all cried after the battle, saying, "It's not me who is weak, but Qin Qiang."

Qi Wangjian had never seen such a situation before, he was almost captured alive, and hid in the secret passage of the palace for two full days before he was rescued by the [-] guards of Qidu's King Qin's soldiers.

After looting a large amount of food and grass, the allied forces of the subjugated old and nobles wanted to defend the city and take the king of Qi to command the state of Qi. In the city of Anping across the river, a large number of Qi nobles were taken as hostages, including Wang Sun Tian'an and Qi Wang's concubines.

The old nobles of the remaining six countries were afraid of being implicated by the king of Qi, so they fled to the countryside one after another and scattered into a group of robbers.

The king of Qi was terrified and summoned [-] troops to attack Anping, but was resisted by Zhao Xie. The king of Qi ordered Wudu to send troops, and [-] troops besieged the small city of Anping.

This move directly left the defenses of various places empty. For a while, there were countless gangs of robbers in Qi State, and the common people who could not afford food took sticks and ate big families.

Therefore, the Qi State was in chaos and chaos.There are private soldiers and bandits everywhere in the villages, and even the nobles of the Zong family took advantage of the chaos to amass wealth and land, and even the Zong family of Chu State did not know where to find a family with the surname Lu, calling them the descendants of Jiang Taigong, and making him the king of Qi, And gathered the Chu clan in Huaibei, and it is quite possible to re-establish the Chu clan.

The current state of Qi is dealing with the stage where demons are dancing wildly, and the smoke is everywhere.

At this moment, Li Shiqi, the chicken thief, made his debut.

He actually persuaded the king of Qi to ask the Qin army to send [-] soldiers and horses into Qi Ping Chao.

……

"Well, how did this old man do it!" Yan Jiang looked at King Qi's credentials and was stunned for a moment, "Does he not know what it means to lure wolves into a house?"

The werewolf King Qin took a look at him, took away the letter of credence, played with it repeatedly, and said, "What else can I do? I think it's just to persuade the king of Qi to show the enemy's weakness and kill people with a knife. No matter whether there is a letter of credence or not, the widows will raise troops." That's all."

What Li Shiqi wants to be able to persuade is that in the current situation, you can't handle the Qin army coming. Why don't you come here to quell the chaos, to show your surrender to Qin, and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Maybe the king will see you Clever, why don't you cut it?

Qin Wang thought about it, and felt a little complacent, thinking that he was the king everywhere.

Yan Jiang wanted to laugh at him, but he saw the servant came to pass the message, saying that Fusu had brought his Yanzi's disciple to see him.

Hey, do you have any disciples?

Zhang Cang was already insanely busy, if it wasn't him, then what other disciples would there be?

Yan Jiang was confused for a moment, so he abandoned King Qin and prepared to meet Fusu with Huahua.

King Qin frowned slightly, thinking what the hell did A Jiang provoke when he was sleeping during the day?

So he stood up calmly: "I haven't seen Fusu for a long time, it's better to go."

As soon as Fusu saw that Yan Jiang entered the door first, he went forward happily: "Sir, I'll see you today—greetings to my father!"

The King of Qin waved his big hand to avoid the ceremony, and looked at the other young man beside Fusu who knelt on the ground, seeing that young man with delicate features and small stature, who was similar to Fusu's age, he was very familiar, but he couldn't think of it for a while rise……

Then Yan Jiang said in surprise: "E Man, why did you come to Xianyang?"

"Sir!" The little girl Lu Zhi in men's clothing was already in tears. If it wasn't for the King Qin's majesty, she might have rushed over and cried loudly.

"Don't worry, sit down first, and talk slowly." Seeing the little girl's aggrieved face, Yan Jiang took the child's hand and sat aside, letting Huahua lean on her, and then comforted her gently, completely Throw the two father and son over there aside.

But Lu Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and wept loudly, unable to speak clearly.

Sitting next to Yan Jiang, King Qin glanced at Fusu indifferently.

Fusu didn't expect it to be like this, so he put on a bitter smile and explained: "Yesterday, the [-]th debate in Xianyang Academy was held again, and my son went to listen to it. This younger brother, based on what Huang Lao said, discussed Starting the administration of salt and iron, he took the lead in the battle with young men, and I saw that he was very knowledgeable, so I invited him for a while."

Then he picked up a yellowed book and handed it to his father: "Afterwards, he gave me this book, saying that he was a follower of Yan Zi, and we would meet on important matters. I saw that it was indeed written by Mr. brought him here."

He was familiar with the views and knowledge of Mr. Wang, and felt that it was true, so he brought him to meet him.

King Qin flipped through it casually, yes, that's right, it was written by A Jiang to the little girl when he was in Shanfu, saying that he would come back and take her as his apprentice if he had the opportunity in the future.

However, A Jiang has been playing so well in the past two years, maybe he has forgotten the promise of master and apprentice a long time ago-he glanced at A Jiang in displeasure. If this guy promises, he has to look at him and remind him all the time , otherwise you will forget about it when you turn around.

He recalled that Ajiang once told Arshak that he would live and die together, that he would be loyal to Dio, that he would spread the Dharma widely with King Ashoka, and that he was the only one in this life... Thinking of this, he even had a little bit of superiority, Ah Jiang only told him that he did what he said.

At this time, Lu Zhi had already told Yan Jiang the cause and effect of the matter in tears: "Sir, a month ago, suddenly a group of strong men broke into my house and robbed my father..."

At the beginning when Yan Jiang taught the children of the Lu family for a few days, Lu Zhi used the jacquard pattern left by Yan Zi to figure out the flower weaving method. In the past two years, he has made some achievements and has become a well-known local family. The daughter is not ordinary, so he handed over the management of some weaving rooms to her for training.

Lu Zhi didn't let him down either. Although he suffered a lot at first, he got started very quickly, and he did well and gained a lot of knowledge.

Unexpectedly, misfortune fell from the sky. A month ago, Zhao Ran, a mighty Chu state, captured Xue County of Qi State, pulled the tiger skin and pulled the banner, proclaiming the Lv family the king of Qi, and Lu Zhi's father became the tiger skin and was taken into captivity. Go to be the "King of Qi".

At that time Lu Zhi was in the weaving room to search for cloth and escaped unharmed, but she knew that no matter who wins this kind of dispute, her father will not end well, and the only person in this world who can help her and she can reach is There is only Yan Zi.

So she put on men's clothing to forge a biography, and came to Xianyang in the name of studying through the post station, but Yan Zi was something that she, a commoner woman, could see?

But this didn't bother her, after a few days of inquiring in Xianyang, she thought of a way to sneak into the palace, and then used the truth Yan Zi told her to successfully attract Fusu's attention.

I finally see you, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to say a word, don't hurt my father and family when Qin Jun pacifies Xue County in Qidi.

Yan Jiang was a little guilty, remembering that he forgot to take his apprentice with him when he came back from Qi State, otherwise there should be no such thing, so he looked at King Qin.

King Qin turned the tea bowl leisurely, enjoyed A Jiang's pleading eyes for a few breaths, and then slowly said: "Yes."

"My daughter, thank the king for your kindness, thank you Mr. for your kindness!" Lu Zhi was overjoyed, and immediately thanked her.

Of course Yan Jiang didn't need it, he said he was tired, let's rest first, and I asked Fusu to arrange your residence.

Lu Zhi was very moved. He glanced at King Qin and thanked the three of them weakly.

When Fusu looked at the delicate eyebrows of "Junior Brother Lu", he still didn't see anything unusual—it's hard for teenagers and girls of twelve or thirteen years old to distinguish between men and women.

He also thought of the praise he had given to the knowledge of his "junior younger brother" before, and then thought of the courage of the other party coming to Xianyang alone and daring to directly play tricks on the eldest son, silently hugging himself tightly.
