Great Qin Shi Empress

==·People's Heart·==

Before the walls of Daliang City collapsed, many people had discovered that the river water was slowly seeping into the city through the gaps. After a little accumulation, there was river water in Daliang City that was as high as an adult's ankle.

Not to mention the well-informed dignitaries, even ordinary people know that something is wrong after discovering this situation.

However, Qin's army was stationed on the hillside outside Daliang City, and did not give Wei's dignitaries any chance to escape.As more and more river water infiltrated into the city, the people who realized that the city was not far away packed up their food and belongings and put them all on the table, on the couch, or even on the roof of their own house. When you have to go to the ground with going to the toilet, you don't land most of the time.

When most of the river water receded and Wang Ben led his troops into Daliang City, he saw most of the people sitting on the roof.

Wang Ben only glanced at it, and ordered his soldiers to watch over the nobles and officials of the Wei State carefully, not to let them run away with their money, and there was no hindrance or restriction on the behavior of the common people.

It’s not that I don’t want to stop——

Population is the most precious asset of a city, and Wang Ben didn't want the people of Daliang City to scatter and flee after the city wall collapsed.

But the city walls were gone, and they couldn't stop the scattered people, so they simply ignored them.

Wang Ben led his troops into the Wei Palace and arrested Wei Wang who was standing at the gate of the palace.

After that, he led people to arrest other royal family members and dignitaries, and locked them in the Wei Palace. Only then did Wang Ben free his hands to pay attention to the people in the city.

He originally thought that even if some of the people stayed, the number would not be too many.

But to Wang Ben's surprise, when he left the Wei Palace, he found that all the people were crowded and crowded at the gate of the Wei Palace with their luggage. It looks like a lot of people are missing.

And his lieutenant stood in front of the people to maintain order, roaring until his voice became hoarse.

Wang Ben: "???"

He was a little surprised and called the lieutenant: "This is?"

The lieutenant also had a dreamy look on his face: "Didn't the general say before that you should not care about the whereabouts of the people, and if someone wants to run, don't stop them?" Teams of soldiers went to help get them off the roof."

"Originally, I didn't plan to take care of it anymore, but I didn't expect that those people not only didn't escape after they came down from the roof with their belongings, but instead pulled our soldiers to question..."

"Ask what?"

"Ask Qin Guo if they can grow potatoes and corn after taking over Daliang City."

Wang Ben: "..."

He froze for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.

The direction of this matter was completely beyond Wang Ben's expectations. Even his father Wang Jian, who had fought for most of his life, never mentioned such things to him.

The deputy general looked back at Wang Ben in a daze: "General, how should we deal with these common people?"

Wang Ben settled down, pondered for a long time, and said, "Let the people who don't want to leave go home and wait for a while. After we have clearly registered the property and slaves of these nobles, we will immediately register them."

"Spring plowing has passed this year, and Qin was hit by a disaster last year. Many people in Qin who were looking forward to getting corn and potatoes can only rejoice in vain. Therefore, I am afraid that they will not be able to plant potatoes and corn in the first half of this year. In the second half of the year There is a chance to borrow some potatoes from Xianyang to plant."

After a pause, he continued, "The terrain of Wei State is flat and there are many plains. I heard Marquis Gu Feng mention that cotton is best planted in open and sunny places. After planting last year and this year, next year only It’s Yingchuan County, I’m afraid we won’t be able to plant all the cotton seeds, and Wei Guo should have the opportunity to grow cotton by then.”

The lieutenant general's eyes lit up: "If so, that would be great."

Wang Ben laughed: "It's not just potatoes and corn. I planted a crop of sweet potatoes the year before last, and planted two crops last year. Sweet potatoes are similar to potatoes and corn. They have not been greatly affected by the drought, and have been extended to many counties this year. If the weather is good this year, maybe they will be able to plant sweet potatoes in the second half of this year."

The deputy general looked at the empty farmland around him, and felt much better: "If you can grow sweet potatoes in the second half of the year, you don't have to feel too guilty about being humble."

It is natural to use everything during a war, but when the war is over, looking at the desolate city and the people involved, it is really hard for ordinary people not to be touched a little bit.

Wang Ben smiled and patted the lieutenant on the shoulder: "Since you care about the people, go and explain it to them yourself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to Wei Palace.

The deputy general went to the people and told all the news that Wang Ben had told him before.

But it may be that sweet potatoes and cotton have not been planted on a large scale in Qin State, and other countries have never heard of the news, so most people don't quite understand what sweet potatoes and cotton are, and they still ask the lieutenant general to ask about potatoes and corn.

The deputy general hurriedly explained that sweet potatoes are also a high-yielding grain, while cotton can be used to weave cloth.

The deputy general could see that the people did not trust these two crops very much, but unexpectedly, they all chose to believe tacitly in the end.

This once again exceeded the lieutenant's expectations.

After some inquiring, I found out that the common people would know the existence of potatoes and corns because the nobles in the city brought some back from Qin State last year, planted them in the ground and got a good harvest——

This is also what Qin Guo expected. After all, the spread of the stall is too large, and it is not easy to strictly control the whereabouts of each seed as before.

Knowing the existence of potatoes and corn, the people of Daliang City became a little more curious about Qin.

It is also a coincidence that there are many businessmen in Wei State who go to Qin State to do business.

At the beginning, these merchants went for the cheap cloth from Qin State, but the price of plain cotton linen coarse cloth sold by Qin State to outsiders was almost ten times that of Qin people. Instead of making a profit, the calico whose price has only doubled can still make a lot of money after buying it, so these merchants from other countries are only willing to resell the calico.

But if they don't buy cheap cloth, they will not be able to spend all the money they bring, so it is inevitable to stay in Qin for a period of time to purchase other profitable commodities.

Then, they heard the pamphlet compiled by Zhang Liang to gather people's hearts——

After the booklet fell into the hands of Ying Zheng, of course he would not put it on the shelf due to his personality. Instead, he handed it over to Wang Wan and Li Si immediately, asking them to put down the books with too many words in their hands and make the template of the booklet first. .

Most of the booklets are short stories, with many contents but few words, so it is easier to carve them into templates.

Soon, Qin's first paper sample booklet appeared on Ying Zheng's desk.

After Yingzheng nodded, the contents of the pamphlets began to be printed in large quantities, and were sent to all parts of Qin State in a very short period of time, and at the same time, people were ordered to preach the above contents to the people in various places.

Ordinary people who can't read a single word don't understand the true function of this booklet, they just think——

The story above is so beautiful and interesting!

Even the nobles don't have many entertainment activities these days, let alone the common people?There is no need to rush someone to tell them stories. Every day is almost the time when officials in various places preach pamphlets. As long as they are free, ordinary people will come to the gate of the government office with a small horse to listen to the story.

Those from a well-to-do family may even bring some snacks.

The officials were quite helpless to the people's mentality of "looking for fun", but they were happy with the positive attitude of the people, and in the end most of them chose to turn a blind eye.

But such a scene fell into the eyes of the businessman, and it became an idea——

The stories told by officials are profitable!

Even the thin and strange booklets in the hands of the officials seem to have become coins in the eyes of the merchants.

Some of the businessmen are well-informed, so they can see the true meaning behind the stories in the pamphlet after hearing a lot; some only see the profit that the pamphlet can bring, but they don't see the danger behind it at all.

But whether it was the former or the latter, they all chose to buy the brochures from the government office of Qin State.

After Ying Zheng learned of this, "..."

Someone is willing to offer to help him promote in places other than Qin, how could Ying Zheng refuse?

He even specially lowered the price for the merchants.

If there were not too many merchants who wanted the brochures, it would not be impossible to give them away for free.

Then these merchants got the pamphlet and returned to China, just like Qin officials, they found a fixed place to preach the contents of the pamphlet.

Of course, they are charged.

But stories like this can be told to others if someone has heard them, so the price cannot be set too high, so the merchants who bought the booklet set the price of the story, and most of them can be listened to for a month for one money.

This price is not expensive, as long as the family is not so poor that they can't afford it.

So Wei Guo also had a scene similar to Qin Guo.

And because the people spent money, in order to "not suffer a loss", as long as someone tells a story every day, they will go to listen to it rain or shine.

The same is true for the people of Daliang City.

According to the local people, they have been listening to those stories for almost a month, and they can recite many stories backwards.

and so……

The people in Daliang City have a very high opinion of Qin.

Wang Ben: "..."

He quickly passed the news back to Xianyang.

== · plea · ==

Ying Zheng really didn't expect that the effect of this pamphlet would be so good.

Although potatoes and corn play a greater role, the role of the stories in the pamphlet should not be underestimated.

Ying Zheng called Wang Wan and Li Si and ordered them to refer to Zhang Liang's pamphlet and compile some pamphlets with the same effect.

Since common people prefer to listen to stories, he also specially told Wang Wanli Si: "When you choose cases, remember to choose some cases with more twists and turns. People's experience also remembers to choose those with greater differences. If there is something you don't understand, It’s okay to transfer Zhang Liang from Yingchuan County to Xianyang to help.”

Wang Wan and Li Si had no reluctance. After leaving the palace, they found the contents of the pamphlet for further research.

But maybe they have lived in Qin State all year round, and they have long been accustomed to many things, but they are not as keen as Zhang Liang. Therefore, after compiling a pamphlet of the same size, they found that the effect is not as good as the one written by Zhang Liang himself. After recovering, Wang Wan directly ordered that Zhang Liang, who had just become the county magistrate and had not had time to be promoted to the county magistrate, be transferred to Xianyang to serve as his subordinate official.

Zhang Liang didn't think that it was just a pamphlet, so he let himself directly enter the Xianyang center from the place.

After all, he is only in his twenties now.

Zhang Liang was grateful for the trust of Ying Zheng and Wang Wan, so he worked harder and harder, and soon compiled a dozen booklets with Wang Wan, Li Si and others.The ability she demonstrated in the process successfully attracted Wang Wan's attention, and after some investigation, she chose to take her with her to cultivate actively.

Not only was the battle with Wei State easier than imagined, it was also far easier to take over the people and land of Wei State than it was when taking over other countries.

Therefore, when June is approaching, Qin State will be able to free up more than half of its manpower to work on the harvest of potatoes and corn.

Afterwards, there was cutting planting of sweet potato vines, harvesting of cotton, and harvesting of five grains after the busy work. It was so non-stop busy until July that Qin finally freed up their hands.

……

After harvesting cotton, Lin Qian returned to Xianyang from Yingchuan County.

However, after resting for two days, Lin Qian reported to the government office that governs millet internal history, and then fell into the process of sorting out the books of the autumn harvest tax.

After finishing the accounting books, it was time to harvest sweet potatoes.

There was no drought this year, and sweet potatoes had a bumper harvest without any surprises. In addition to the potatoes and corn harvested before, except for some areas of Wei State and Chu State that had just been merged into the territory of Qin State, other places can basically realize the freedom of grain varieties.

However, because of the lack of grain in some parts of Wei and Chu, if the people in other places have surplus potatoes and corn, they still don’t consume them as food, but sell them to the government to add a lot of income to their families. .

After the government got these grains, they immediately sent them to more places, such as Daliang City, which distributed a lot of grains.

And the cotton seeds were sent to the plain areas such as Daliang early.

The people in these places already had a good impression of the Qin State, but now they heard that none of the original counties and counties of the Qin State had obtained cotton seeds, so they got it first. A little love.

……

The acceptance of Wei State did not bring much trouble to Qin State, and the people of Qin State had completely freed up their hands, so the court and officials all set their sights on Chu State.

Everyone knows that there must be a battle between Qin and Chu.

And the sooner this battle is fought against Qin, the better.

But at this moment, Lin Qian suddenly heard the news that Fusu knelt in front of Mrs. Chu's palace for a long time, and finally passed out due to exhaustion.But Fusu's wife, Wang Yun, was furious when she learned of this, and rushed into Xianyang Palace with a weapon and made a big fuss, directly knocking Mrs. Chu out of anger.

Lin Qian was dealing with official business at the time, so she didn't know the news.

Zhi Su Neishi, who came back to the government office from outside, was worried that Lin Qian would accidentally offend Ying Zheng if he returned to the palace without knowing anything, so he came to her office and told Lin Qian about it, so that She has a mental preparation.

After Lin Qian learned the ins and outs of the whole incident, she was completely stunned.

This Mrs. Chu...

Lin Qian took a deep breath, only feeling that she carried a bit of the traits of Queen Mother Zhao.

After returning to the palace from Zhisu Neishi's government office, Lin Qian immediately went to greet Ying Zheng, and then found out without any surprise that he had a dark complexion and fierce eyes, as if he might choose someone to kill at any time.

Lin Qian was startled, and his limbs felt cold instantly.

Ying Zheng looked at the little Lin Qian who was trembling like chaff above Lin Qian's head with frightened eyes, and then looked at Lin Qian who was pale and seemed to be no different from the little Lin Qian. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Only then opened his eyes again.

Seeing this, Lin Qian was relieved, and the little man above his head collapsed to the ground in an instant, gasping for breath.

The trumpet Ying Zheng seemed to want to go forward to comfort him, but was pushed away by the trumpet Lin Qian, who suddenly pulled out a piece of black cloth from somewhere, swiped it and covered the trumpet Ying Zheng, covering it tightly. Strictly.

Then the little Lin Qian patted his chest with fear, slapped, and fell to the ground again.

[Oh my god, I was scared to death! 】

Ying Zheng: "..."

Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing, and looked at Lin Qian with a little more warmth in his eyes: "Didn't you have to come back in the evening in the past, why did you return to the palace so early today?"

Lin Qian returned to his senses and replied: "I heard that something happened in the palace, Qin Neishi deliberately assigned part of my work to my colleagues."

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and his mood fell to the bottom in an instant.

When he was in a bad mood, it was inevitable that there would be some emotion on his face.

But Xu knew from Ying Zheng's reaction that he would not take his anger out on him. Lin Qian was not frightened this time, but continued to ask him: "I heard that Fusu passed out, how is he doing now?"

Ying Zheng's eyes became indifferent, and if he continued to pursue, he would find that he was full of disappointment hidden under the cold: "It's nothing, the imperial doctor has seen it, although he hasn't woken up yet, it's fine, rest and recuperate It will be fine in a few days."

He didn't want to mention this matter, and changed the subject after scribbling a sentence: "Speaking of which, Zhang Liang has already been valued by Wang Wan. It seems that he should be raised as an heir first, and he has been with him every day recently. It's more eye-catching. I originally thought that he and Feng Jie would have conflicts, but I didn't expect him to handle the relationship between the two well, so that Feng Jie also taught him everything, which is really a talent."

Lin Qian glanced at Ying Zheng, and agreed with a smile: "After all, he is a person who can leave his name in history, and he always has some real skills."

Ying Zheng asked a few more questions about the battle between Qin and Chu, but after that, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about it. He casually had dinner with Lin Qian and asked her to go back to the side hall to rest.

Lin Qian came out of the main hall, walked a few steps, and saw Meng Tian coming up to him with a worried face.

She froze for a moment, stopped and waited for Meng Tian.

Unexpectedly, when Meng Tian walked in front of Lin Qian, he didn't speak at the first moment, but sighed at her for a long time.

Lin Qian couldn't hold back, and joked: "People who sigh a lot tend to grow old."

Meng Tian paused and looked at her with a wry smile.

Lin Qian had no choice but to say, "Say what you have to say, it's pretty intrusive to look at me like that."

Meng Tian cupped his hands at her, and then led her to the front of the side hall.Looking at the direction of the main hall again, he said quietly: "Master Fusu knelt in front of Madam Chu's palace for a few hours today, and then fainted from exhaustion, Madam should have heard about it, right?"

Lin Qian nodded: "I have indeed heard about it. But..."

She glanced at Meng Tian and reminded, "Although I heard about it, if you want to ask me to ask His Majesty to intercede, you'd better give up on it as soon as possible. Your Majesty is very angry because of this matter. I almost didn't get scared when I just entered the door." I have to fall, but I dare not touch His Majesty's bad luck again."

When helping Su during the Chinese New Year before, one was because she was in the side hall at the time, and she would not be able to escape responsibility if something happened to Fu Su; Well……

It was also because Ying Zheng didn't know about it at the time, so she could handle it by herself.

But Ying Zheng already knew about this matter, and obviously didn't want her to intervene. After all, she and Fusu had only met each other a few times, and even if she had a good impression of him, it would not be enough to anger Ying Zheng.

Meng Tian quickly shook his head: "I don't even dare to ask His Majesty to intercede, so how dare I bother Madam?"

He paused, then sighed again, "I was thinking, can I ask Madam to intercede with Madam Chu and let her..." Don't bother.

Lin Qian looked at Meng Tian in surprise: "Looking for Mrs. Chu?"

Meng Tian nodded.

Lin Qian was rather dumbfounded: "But I have never spoken to Mrs. Chu, how could she listen to me?"

Meng Tian was also in a hurry to go to the doctor. Hearing this, he shook his head: "I don't need Madam to achieve any purpose, but I just hope you can tell Madam Chu about the situation of helping Mr. Su, no matter how she chooses in the future... I am also helping Su." I did my best."

Lin Qian was stunned, remembering that Meng Tian and Fusu really had a good relationship, she suddenly understood.

but……

She thought that Meng Yi was responsible for her own safety for many years, and she said a lot: "Your Majesty is actually indifferent to the harem, and Mrs. Chu's troubles may not be able to make His Majesty see it. Your Majesty will be angry this time. The root cause should be returned. On Young Master Fusu. If Young Master Fu Su can't tell the seriousness, even if Mrs. Chu stops being a monster, His Majesty's attitude towards Young Master Fu Su may not be able to change."

Meng Tian was stunned, as if he had never thought of such a possibility.

==·Forcing·==

Lin Qian shook her head: "If you don't understand, think more about Queen Mother Zhao."

Since returning from Zhao Kingdom, Yingzheng has directly put Queen Mother Zhao under house arrest in Ganquan Palace. In the first year, he even sent people to follow her closely, lest she commit suicide and damage her reputation; but after a year, Yingzheng withdrew the surveillance The Empress Dowager Zhao's people, except for food, clothing, housing and transportation, were treated as compared to the past, they never once asked her how her life is now.

Obviously, the empress dowager Zhao has tossed and tossed away all the remaining traces of Yingzheng's affection for her.

He always has this attitude towards Queen Mother Zhao, let alone other people in the harem?

Ying Zheng hasn't been to the harem for several years.

Meng Tian understood, and made a deep bow to Lin Qian: "I will try to persuade Fu Su more."

Lin Qian smiled: "I will find a chance to meet Mrs. Chu, and I will explain her interests according to your ideas, but what will be the final result..."

Meng Tian waved his hands again and again: "Madam, don't worry, I just... oh... I'd better persuade Fu Su more."

……

Lin Qian found some free time and took Lin Mo to the palace where Mrs. Chu lived.

This was the first time she took the initiative to communicate with the concubines of Yingzheng's harem, and the scenery along the way was also something she had never seen before, so she felt a bit of novelty.

Walking all the way, I also met many people, but rarely saw the concubine.

Lin Mo explained: "Since Your Majesty has not entered the harem, the concubine has become more and more silent. Except when the weather is good, she will go out for a stroll, most of the time she is in her own palace talking to Gong'e and doing some embroidery work."

Lin Qian sighed, suddenly lost interest in viewing the scenery, and immediately hurried towards Mrs. Chu's palace.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

The two maids guarding the gate didn't seem to expect that Lin Qian would come to visit Mrs. Chu. After hearing her intention, they were stunned for a while before they realized it, and immediately turned around and entered the door to report.

Mrs. Chu's mood was not going well recently, and her temper was on the rise, but after hearing the news from Gong'e, she couldn't help being at a loss for a moment.

After a moment of hesitation, she still agreed to invite Lin Qian inside.

But she didn't have a good impression of Lin Qian, so she immediately said when she saw Lin Qian's figure: "I heard that Gu Fenghou is busy, so I don't know why you have time to come to the shabby room?"

Lin Qian paused and smiled: "I'm really busy."

I remember that it has been less than a year since we last met, but compared to the radiant face when we met last time, Mrs. Chu's complexion is now sallow, her expression is sluggish, and her eyes are even more neurotic and crazy.

Looking at Mrs. Chu like this, people can't help but feel a little ominous in their hearts.

Mrs. Chu was already upset when she heard her words, but when she saw that her eyes were always sweeping towards her face, her complexion changed immediately, and she couldn't help but reached out to stroke her hair.

After stroked a few times, he seemed to feel timid in front of Lin Qian, and then withdrew his hand a little stiffly.

Lin Qian withdrew her gaze, unwilling to provoke her: "But I was entrusted by someone a few days ago, so I had to find some time to talk to my wife."

Madam Chu turned her head in an instant, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression: "Is it Fusu?"

Lin Qian shook her head: "I have no friendship with Fusu."

"Who else can it be if it's not Fusu?" Mrs. Chu was taken aback, thinking of something, her face suddenly darkened, "It can't be Wang Yun, a disobedient person who doesn't know his seniority or inferiority?"

Thinking that after the news of Fusu's fainting spread, that tigress Wang Yun dared to enter the palace to scold her, Madam Chu was furious again.

Lin Qian shook his head again.

Seeing that Mrs. Chu wanted to guess again, Lin Qian directly revealed the answer: "It's Mr. Fusu's good friend Meng Tian. He couldn't bear Fusu's dilemma between his wife and His Majesty, so he asked me to speak to you."

Meng Tian did not meet Mrs. Chu, so Lin Qian never concealed it.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Meng Tian's name, Mrs. Chu's reaction was even greater than when she mentioned Wang Yun: "Ha! They are really busy, this matter is just a private matter between me and Fusu, they They meddled repeatedly like I did something heinous, and I don't know how the elders in the family taught me!"

Lin Qian couldn't help but glanced at her: "This is not just a private matter between you two."

Seeing that Mrs. Chu was about to speak again, she hurriedly interrupted, "I'm just talking to you a few words, and I'll leave after I'm done. It's better for Mrs. Chu not to waste my time with me."

Mrs. Chu glared at Lin Qian, and clenched her teeth tightly.

Lin Qian paused, and said: "I just wanted to tell Madam, because Fusu's unsatisfactory performance in the face of your persecution has caused a lot of dissatisfaction with him, and it seems that he has already thought of training other sons."

Madam Chu suddenly raised her head: "Impossible! Fusu is the eldest son of His Majesty!"

Lin Qian glanced at her and shook her head: "The eldest son is not the only son. And no matter how much you force Fusu, it will not affect His Majesty's decision to send troops to Chu. That's all I'm saying, think about it yourself. "

After speaking, she got up and took Lin Mo away.

Madam Chu looked at Lin Qian's back with dull eyes, as if she had lost her soul.

Doesn't she understand this truth?but……

Madam Chu covered her face, as if she was suddenly awakened from sleep, her whole heart was empty and dazed.

No one else knew what Mrs. Chu was thinking, but Fu Su told Meng Tian exactly what she was thinking.

Meng Tian really regards Fusu as a friend, or in other words, anyone who has been in contact with Fusu has no choice but to treat him as a friend. Because of this, after this incident, many people were worried about him.

Friends like Meng Tian are still in the minority, most of them are princes and princesses in the palace.

They respect and love Fusu, but they don't want to say much to Mrs. Chu, so they can only take out the things they like and Fusu needs and send them to his house.In a short time, most of the room was filled.

Wang Yun couldn't help being happy for Fusu, but thinking of the current situation, she couldn't help but worry about him.

but……

She glanced around the room and let out a long sigh.

Meng Tian was persuading Fu Su: "The last time you knelt in front of His Majesty's door, you already angered His Majesty. Why do you do such irrational things now? I asked Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin said, Your Majesty I am very angry with your actions this time, and seem to have already moved on to change the heir..."

Fusu lowered his eyes, looking lonely and sad.

After a long while, he let out a sigh of relief: "This is also a matter of course. I read Han Feizi's book under the guidance of my father-in-law a few days ago. It talked about many ways of being a king. It was mentioned in it that the people around the king are like powerful officials. , such as treacherous eunuchs, such as foreign relatives, such as relatives... It seems that they all have the possibility of usurping power by virtue of their status, and a king should not pay too much attention to feelings, otherwise it is easy to be manipulated by others."

After seeing Han Feizi, Fusu already guessed that he would disappoint his father sooner or later.

but……

"It's nothing." Fusu raised his head and gently curled his lips, "My younger brothers are all quite intelligent, each has their own advantages, and they are not as indecisive as me. If the father really wants to change the heir, it is only natural."

Meng Tian was about to die of anger: "As the eldest son, you are the most likely heir; Your Majesty is not such a fatuous king. As long as you can prove yourself, how can Your Majesty change someone? Why do you give up?"

The corners of Fusu's mouth froze, his eyes drifted away, as if he had returned to that day again.

It was a certain day after the end of the autumn harvest. Because there was no trouble after Wei was defeated, Fusu just went to Daliang to stay for almost two months before returning to Xianyang.Not long after returning, before Fusu had time to rest, he heard the news that his father intends to send troops to attack Chu.

He was worried that his mother would be sad because of this, so he went to the palace to visit him.

then……

"If you don't go to your father to intercede, I will die in front of you today!"

Fusu knew it was her mother's angry words, but she still couldn't help being sad.

He didn't want to add trouble to his father who was busy preparing for the attack on Chu recently—Fusu wasn't so confused—so he could only kneel in front of his mother's palace gate and beg her to take back her life and not to hurt her. Own.

……

Thinking of this, Fu Su wiped his face, and said frankly: "I really think that my younger brothers are more in line with father's expectations than me."

Meng Tian is also gone.

Looking at Fusu like this, let alone His Majesty, even he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed——

I never tried to change, and I never took the initiative to fight for it, so I just gave up the position that was already at my fingertips.Shu Mengtian totally disagrees with this approach.

==·Attack Chu·==

Meng Tian leaves disappointed, but doesn't want to be stopped by Wang Yun at the door.

He cupped his hands at Wang Yun, and then tried to avoid her.

But Wang Yun said directly: "Mr. Fusu said, 'The son never speaks of the father's fault'. Therefore, no matter how much wronged I have suffered from Mrs. Chu, I don't want to express it, and I don't want others to know. Although I study I can read, but I don't understand the truths in his mind, and I don't shy away from pointing out the mistakes of my elders at home, so... just let me be a villain!"

She took a deep breath, "Fusu will kneel in front of Madam Chu's palace this time, not for the same reason as last New Year's Eve, but..."

Wang Yun told Meng Tian about Mrs. Chu's forced death.

She smiled wryly: "If Fusu knows about this, we may never get back to the past between husband and wife, but I don't want to see such a good person being misunderstood by relatives and friends I care about."

Meng Tian froze for a moment, then frowned: "Are you sure?"

Wang Yun smiled wryly: "When I called the door, Mrs. Chu herself said that she slipped her tongue."

Meng Tian was dumbfounded.

……

After learning the truth of the matter, Meng Tian hesitated for a long time——

He shouldn't have surpassed his friends and made any decisions for him in the name of his good, but he watched His Majesty's attitude towards Fusu become colder day by day, as if he didn't even want to mention it. Unable to hold back, he took a chance to tell Ying Zheng about this when no one was around.

Yingzheng was dealing with government affairs at the time, and raised his head when he heard the words: "But Fusu asked you to tell the widow?"

Meng Tian paused, shook his head for a while: "This is my humble minister's own opinion."

Ying Zheng's expression turned cold: "He has neither a mouth nor legs, so if something happens, won't he enter the palace and tell the widow?"

Meng Tian was so scolded that he looked embarrassed and had no choice but to retreat angrily.

Although Ying Zheng was annoyed at helping Su, but in comparison, Mrs. Chu, the culprit, annoyed him even more.

But he was tired of seeing her even once, so he directly sent the imperial doctor to her palace for a while, and then grounded her indefinitely on the grounds of illness.

Immediately afterwards, he directly mentioned the matter of attacking Chu in the court.

Everyone talked freely, and many details were quickly finalized.Only when it comes to the selection of the leader, he has been unable to make up his mind.

Li Xin and Wang Jian, most people in the court tended to Wang Jian.

One is that he has rich experience, and the other is that he has a stable personality. It is more reassuring to let him be the main general who attacked Chu.

However, Wang Jian insisted that there must be 80 troops, otherwise he would not be able to take Chu.

The 80 troops almost emptied Qin.

Not to mention Yingzheng, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to let him take so many soldiers to attack Chu State rashly.

To put it bluntly, if Wang Jian turned his back halfway, wouldn't the great country run by the Ying family for several generations fall into the hands of others in a blink of an eye?

Seeing that everyone didn't trust him, Li Xin wrinkled his nose unhappy.

He really felt that he could win Chu State with 20 yuan.

but……

Li Xin took a deep breath, and was about to volunteer again——

The big deal, this time, according to Wei Liao's intention, he led 40 troops to attack Chu State!

However, Ying Zheng spoke first: "Since Wang Aiqing said that he must have 80 troops to take Chu, then I will dispatch 80 troops to Wang Aiqing."

Wang Jian raised his head with a brush: "Your Majesty..."

[Please think twice! 】

[Attacking Chu State really requires less than 80 troops, 40 is enough, 50 is as good as the sky, and 60 is superfluous! 】

But since Ying Zheng spoke, he would never give him another chance to object.

He smiled at Wang Jian: "The widow is here to congratulate General Wang for his victory in advance, and then the widow will personally clean up the dust for you."

Wang Jian choked for a moment, unable to speak a word.

[I dug a hole myself and buried myself in the end? 】

Wang Jian couldn't get off the tiger, so he had to thank Ying Zheng dryly with a bitter face.

Others looked surprised.

This is a force of 80 troops. Is His Majesty really not worried that Wang Jian will suddenly have a rebellion and directly steal the Ying family's country?

Ying Zheng was quite calm about this.

Since Wang Jian was chosen to lead the army, it is natural to trust him and satisfy all his requirements.

Wang Jian: "..."

……

Qin State reorganized its troops from top to bottom, and soon it was the day of departure.

Wang Jian is the main general, Li Xin and Meng Tian are the deputy generals, and Wang Ben stays in Weidi to guard just in case.

Out of emphasis on this battle, Ying Zheng even personally sent Wang Jian and others to Bashang before stopping. After watching Wang Jian and others disappear, he returned to Xianyang with all the civil and military officials.

Before leaving, Wang Jian suddenly approached Ying Zheng and made a request: "If I win this battle, I hope His Majesty will reward my minister with good land and beautiful houses."

Ying Zheng looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "If you really took down Chu State, wouldn't the widow treat Ai Qing badly?"

Wang Jian smiled wryly: "The humble minister is stupid. He only has the ability to lead troops to fight. But he has the ability to lead troops to fight, but he has no talent to govern the country and no ability to fight."
