Emperor Qin

After learning the news, Yan Jiang secretly cried out.

The King of Qin has been looking at the land of Hexi for a long time.

The Hexi Corridor is located in the west of Longxi on the border of the Qin State. Because of the irrigation of the snowmelt of Qilian Mountains, this narrow land with a length of more than 1000 kilometers is rich in water and grass, fertile, and has almost all the landforms in the world. To the south of it is The Qilian Mountains, which are difficult to cross, and the Gobi desert to the north, are the only bridge between the East and the West.

Such a dangerous place is easy to defend and occupy, and it has given birth to the current overlord Yuezhi Kingdom.

The Yuezhi Kingdom is now living their most prosperous days. It is a giant occupying the entire Hexi Corridor. The Wusun tribe in the west of it is bullied like a pitiful one, and the Huns in the east are also beaten very weak. According to the latest news , King Yuezhi wanted the Xiongnu Shanyu to hand over his son Modun as a hostage, which basically belonged to asking the other party to surrender.

Of course, it will be a later story when he was too arrogant and was wiped out by the once-in-a-thousand-year prairie overlord Maodun.

If there is anything that the Yue clan is afraid of, it is undoubtedly Qin.

In other words, none of the grassland tribes was not afraid of Qin.

No way, from 400 years ago, Qin State relied on raising horses to become the Zhou Dynasty’s first line of defense against Xi Rong, and by attacking them Western tribes to open up territory. After King Qin destroyed another report card, all the Western tribes were very obedient to Qin State. Even the Xiongnu took advantage of the fire to rob Yunzhong, and they all took over the homeland of Zhao State. They were not very good at Jiuyuan County belonging to Qin State to go.

But these are meaningless. For the King of Qin, only by taking down the Yuezhi, can he get the land of the Western Regions and even further afield.

So after the king of Qin traveled around the east, he started raising troops again, preparing to make waves as soon as the new harvest arrived.

Yan Jiang basically has no doubts about the outcome of this battle.

Today's Central Plains is not afraid of the grassland tribes, because a large part of Qin and Zhao are nomadic people. With the support of Qin's huge national power, they have the fighting potential to crush the northern grasslands.

Therefore, Yan Jiang specially invited Han Fei to drink tea.

The tea was tasteless.

Han Fei, a master of law, stared at Yan Zi who was flipping through his hands, frowning slightly.

There is no way, this is all his painstaking efforts over the years.

But Yan Zi was really merciless when he deleted and crossed. He often marked out a whole page with big crosses, as if he was not reading the legal articles carefully revised by Han Feizi, but a seriously water-filled book.

Finally, Yan Jiang took the heavy two-inch thick book and handed it back to Han Fei.

"This is my opinion. Of course, it is against the law to obey the law." Yan Jiang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, "however, the world is stable, and we should be equal to business, heavy on agriculture, and heavy on governance, instead of heavy rewards like before. , heavy punishment, heavy fighting."

Han Fei frowned and said, "Although the Qin law is complicated, it is not a bad law. It's just that the common people of the six countries entered Qin for the first time, and it was difficult to get used to it for a while. If they stay for a long time, it will be fine. Not all of Shu, Ying and Chen are like that. ?”

For Legalists, Qin State is the brightest and proudest pearl of Legalism. After Qin State unified the six countries, its conception expanded to the point where there is no further increase. There is even a new Legalist, Fushi, who is already clamoring for the unification of a hundred schools of thought. Dominant spell.

And the people of Qin State were not the people of Qin State from the beginning. At first, Qin State only had a small territory of hundreds of miles in the east of Longxi, then annexed the Rong people and Guanzhong, then swallowed Bashu, then Hedong and Xichu, and then finally It is the six countries.

This shows that the Rong people can get used to the law, but the six countries are not used to it.

Han Fei had already amended many laws and regulations, but Yan Zi's amendment was a bit too much.

"The law of violence clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments. Now that the world has been decided, where does the reward come from?" Yan Jiang asked calmly, "Where does the reward come from if it is not a rich and prosperous Central Plains?"

Why didn't Qin go to fight the nearest Western Yuezhi and Xiongnu at the beginning, but smashed the six eastern countries?

Because there is no money to make!

Fighting in the east has endless wealth and land, which can be distributed to soldiers as spoils of war and divert internal conflicts.

But what can the Yuezhi and Huns get now, cattle and sheep or pastures?

Whoever asked those soldiers if they were willing to risk their lives in exchange for a pasture would get a reply that it was a mutiny on the spot for him to see.

Han Fei thought for a long time before he said cautiously: "Law is the foundation of governing a country. You should develop it gradually. If you act recklessly, chaos will inevitably arise."

Of course he knew this, but the military aristocrats of the Qin State had become the cornerstone of the country, and they could not be changed if they wanted to, or could be changed if they wanted to.

Yan Jiang said indifferently: "This is the king's worry."

Ah Zheng would like this kind of challenge. He is the most proficient in how to start the power structure.

Having said all this, Han Fei had nothing else to say. Of course, he bowed his head and admitted defeat, and fought with Yan Zi one by one for which ones could be kept and which ones had to be changed.

……

Qin Wang's beloved wife didn't return all night, so of course he was dissatisfied, so he took time out of his busy schedule, dragged His Majesty's chubby body, and finally found the two people in the tea house who discussed the law until late at night, and landed on A Jiang's shoulders, Listening silently.

Fortunately, Han Fei was nearly sixty years old after all, and he was exhausted after all, so he could only put away the key points and ask Yan Zi to talk about it another day.

After saying goodbye, Yan Zi moved his sore shoulders, turned his head to look at the bird, hooked the bird's beak and teased: "You are old, I think you are getting fat again?"

His Majesty turned his head in displeasure, refusing to admit the facts, but raised his head proudly, waiting for A Jiang to comfort him.

A Jiang just scratched the bird's belly, feeling the sensuality under the feathers: "It's time to lose weight, Your Majesty, you see Huahua is as big as you, and they go up to the mountains to catch birds and rain in the water all day long. I don't ask you to catch them." Mouse, at least go for a swim."

His majesty's expression changed drastically, and he spread his wings quickly to escape, but he was grabbed and dragged to Huahua's Huyuan while struggling.

Huyuan is a large garden built on the hillside not far from the palace of the King of Qin when the new palace was built. After King Qin returned from his tour of the East, the palace was fully completed, and King Qin took A Jiang to live in it happily.

And the important ministers of Xianyang are moving out of the old Xianyang city, and most of them live in the surroundings of the original palace complex of Longshou, gradually forming a new huge city group, a city without city walls.

At that time, someone wrote to the king of Qin, hoping to build Xianyang city defense, build a circle of city walls to enclose Longshouyuan and the old city of Xianyang together, and surpass Linzi Daliang to become the largest city in the world.

But this memorial was rejected by King Qin.

"The natural danger of Hangu is the great defense of Xianyang," King Qin said coldly while sitting by the case, "If someone really hits Xianyang, it will be my Great Qin that will be destroyed."

It almost made Yan Jiang feel that it was too wrong to be so disrespectful, so he used pillow wind to ask His Majesty what happened to you that night?

Because after I had a dream, I thought about it over and over again, and felt that the things in the dream were definitely done by you, so I thought this dream was a warning to the heavens, and if I want to avoid death, listen to your words and keep healthy, so as not to die early or be poisoned by you Burn to death - of course the king of Qin would not say this to A Jiang, so he perfunctory A Jiang with the excuse of visiting mountains and rivers to see the world.

Of course, Yan Jiang would not believe this kind of nonsense, so he became more and more worried these days, and today he classified the reason for King Qin's change as being influenced by His Majesty, and decided to make some changes for him.

When he brought the bird into the Tiger Garden, Huahua was diving into the pool to catch the fish. Its vigorous figure was like a big fish in the water, sinking easily to the bottom of the water, spitting out a few bubbles, and then suddenly floated to the surface, revealing its huge size. The tiger's head swam to the shore with ripples.

Seeing the owner coming, he immediately went ashore happily.

"Huahua, don't come here..." Yan Jiang said too late, he was pressed on the ground by Huahua for half a cup of tea, and his clothes were completely wet, before he was let go by satisfied Huahua, and the tiger didn't care about the middle of them at all. Your Majesty who was almost rolling his eyes.

Because His Majesty always likes to find a big tree to be lazy after flying into the sky, and then claims that he has enough time to fly, so Yan Jiang is not going to use the previous plan.

So Huahua got the right to chase a falling bird in the swimming pool.

……

When His Majesty was so exhausted that he fell to the ground, Yan Jiang carried the bird back to the bedroom.

What surprised Yan Jiang even more happened. He did all this, but King Qin was not angry. When he saw him, he was as usual, as if nothing had happened.

What is it that cured Ah Zheng's narrow-mindedness?

He was even a little panicked, what happened to his family Ah Zheng? Could it be that he had some terminal illness and his mood changed drastically?

But isn't it 20 years before he entered the salted fish pile in history?

And based on his understanding of Ah Zheng, he is really about to fall into the pile of salted fish. He is definitely the one with the strongest desire to survive. Will lock himself into a small black room to torture the elixir of immortality, and then have a love and kill with himself!

There must be a problem.

So, how to test it?

Yan Jiang thought about it all night, and decided to make a big move. A few days ago, he saw a set of familiar exquisite agate beads among the offerings in Shu, and he knew that an acquaintance might come over.

It's really not easy, I haven't seen him for ten or 13 years.

Coincidentally, there is a gift that should be given to the Huns.

……

One month later, when the king of Qin was still deciding on the name of the original palace of Longshou, the governor of Shu presented a great sage of a foreign race who came from southwest Yunnan.

The author has something to say: Thanks to all the little angels who threw mines and nutrient solutions, because the author did not bring a computer when he went out, and he couldn’t read the list of kings on his mobile phone, so I will thank you all when I get home.
