Chapter 701 Clouds and waves

Chapter 701: Yun Wei Fu

Emperor Tianyou's sudden coma disrupted Yin Wuyi's plan. He had to order people to take all the officials to the side hall to take charge of the court, and send a letter to ask Zhou Lianben, who was resigning at home, and other veterans of the previous dynasty to discuss matters.

At around noon, bad news came from outside the palace... A group of old ministers who were invited either died suddenly at home or were assassinated on the road. The rest of the people were scared and could not even invite them to carry the sedan chair.

Until the time of the lamplight, there were only Qin Zhan, Yin Wuyi and Mr. Sun in the empty Xuanzheng Hall. As for Emperor Zhaowu, he had been taken down to cool down. At this moment, Qin Zhan was sitting on the empty dragon throne.

Feeling the supreme pleasure brought by "sitting on the dragon throne", Qin Zhan even squinted his eyes comfortably and refused to pay attention to others for a long time.

"Prince, those ministers who retired still refuse to attend court." Mr. Sun, who looked helpless, reported softly.

"Catch them all," Qin Zhan gently stroked the handrail made of gold, and said like his father, "If you use the army to escort into the palace, I don't believe that this will be dangerous."

"This... can only be like this." Mr. Sun nodded, turned around and sent the order.

The only thing left was Yin Wuyi: "Prince, it's time to issue an imperial edict to announce Qin Lei's life gate to the world."

"Um..." Qin Zhan nodded and said, "Leave this matter to the teacher, there will be no mistakes."

"There is also the matter of contacting Prince Yong," Yin Wuyi had already escaped from his initial out-of-conformity and returned to his Yin test and said, "We should start earlier."

"Um..." Qin Zhan nodded and said, "I don't worry about doing things, but can I really persuade my elder brother to oppose the fifth brother?"

"Don't worry, your lord." Yin Wuyi said in a deep voice: "I have some connections with Prince Rong of Qi. I can write a letter to him in my private name, so he naturally knows what to do."

"Very good." Qin Zhan said with his hands: "With the help of local snakes, my brother will be more confident. Go and do it quickly."

"Yes..." Yin Wuyi lowered his head and retreated.

Using the advanced postal system of Daqin, Qin Zhan and Yin Wuyi's letter arrived in Qi within two days and delivered to Prince Yong, the commander of the occupying army, and Prince Rong, the president of the Qi Maintenance Association.

As soon as Prince Rong received the letter, he was immediately overjoyed and asked a few elders to discuss it. Everyone thought that in the chaos in Qin, Qi would have the possibility of restoring the country. Since the fall of the country, the princes and princes of Qi, who had been frustrated, cheered at this moment. They quickly agreed to take out all their savings and handed them over to Prince Rong, and he would be fully represented to discuss cooperation with Prince Yong.

At this time, the Qin army camp was also caught in a small-scale fierce debate... After receiving the letter, Qin Li first thought about it alone for an hour, and then incredibly invited all the generals at the deputy army level and above to the king's tent, and then put the letter on the big case, so that they could take turns to watch it.

When they saw the letter, the senior generals had different expressions. For example, Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yongzhe, they were naturally furious; like Chen Wei and others, they were full of worries; of course, there were also secretly excited people, these were the direct generals of Qin Li. As the saying goes, they would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of the cow. Of course, they were willing to become independent with Prince Yong and also create a founding heroes like the founding heroes.

He ignored everyone's reactions. After reading all the ten generals and returning to their positions, Qin Li said slowly: "You are already aware of the situation in the country. What are your opinions?"

"What other ideas do you have?" Shi Yongteng stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "The traitors are in chaos and the world changes color, so they are naturally incompatible with them!"

"What kind of traitor?" A general from the Dong-Zheng Army system sneered: "Is His Majesty Zhaowu also considered a traitor?"

"This..." Shi Yong suddenly lost his words, and Huangfu Zhanwen quickly continued: "The Supreme Emperor has been missing for ten years. Why didn't he return to his throne early or late? He insisted on appearing at this moment of unification and even enfeoffing Qi to Prince Yong. There are many strange things here..."

"What do you mean is that we princes are not worthy of owning Qi?" Another general glared at him and said, "We commanded 500,000 troops, worked hard and finally wiped out Qi. This is what he deserves!"

"That's right," another general sneered: "I think Your Majesty has a good division. When His Highness Wucheng destroyed Chu, he will grant Nan Chu to him; when our prince destroyed Qi, he will give Dong Qi to the prince, fair and reasonable, and there is no deception. Where does the strange words come from?"

Qin Li said silently and looked at the general Chen Wei. Chen Wei had no choice but to express his attitude and said: "We will kill and sacrifice millions of lives and sacrifice the lives of millions of people in order to unify the Three Kingdoms and return to China? Looking at what the letter said now is to re-group the country that has been finally unified and re-entered. If so, what is the meaning of the sacrifice of the soldiers?"

"Your Majesty Zhaowu, our prince and King Wucheng are blood-born father and son, and they are both the imperial throne of my Great Qin, why is it not unified?" The general of the Zhendong Army argued.

"No, no," Chen Weisi said: "I think the letter said that the general army, government, domestic affairs, diplomacy, currency issuance, and salt and iron taxes should be delivered to the prince. This is to completely give up all rights to Qi and Chu. What is the difference between division?"

"This..." The general was speechless for a moment and could not answer.

"Your Majesty's clarification!" Chen Wei bowed to Qin Li and said righteously: "Unification is the general trend. All acts of division are against the contrary. Please do not make mistakes into eternal regret!" This is very harsh, but with his qualifications, he is still qualified to say this.

Seeing that everyone expressed their attitude, Qin Li slowly lowered his eyelids and said, "I'll think about it again, let's all go away first."

"Please think twice." The generals said in unison with different expressions. As for whether to write a letter to report after going back, or to order the troops to be more vigilant and respond at any time, it depends on everyone's position.

The tent was quiet, and Qin Li kept his eyes closed and resting, as if he was asleep, until the guards woke him up softly: "Prince, Prince Qi Guorong is visiting."

"Oh?" Qin Li's eyes opened slightly, a flash of light in his eyes, and he closed his eyes again and said, "Please."

After a while, the guards led Prince Rong with a humble smile in. After the two sides greeted him, Qin Li stepped back at Prince Rong's request, and the only two of them were left in the tent.

Seeing that there was no one around, Prince Rong said straight to the point: "Xiao Wang and Qi all think that the prince is the most suitable lord of Qi, and they unanimously support you as the new generation of Qi Emperor. I wonder if the prince is interested?"

"Ha..." Qin Li could not have imagined that Qin Zhan was so powerful that he could actually get along with the heads and minds of Qi. But he had to admit that if he had the support of these Qi nobles, coupled with his hundreds of thousands of troops, he could completely re-subjugate the Dongqi and maintain it forever... Although this is just a hypothesis, it cannot be denied that the feasibility of this matter is very high.

"You are so kind?" Qin Li said with a smile: "Isn't it because he used a knife to kill someone and then burned the bridge across the river?"

"Why did the prince say this?" Prince Rong smiled and said, "You have hundreds of thousands of invincible troops, and you can destroy us at any time. Everyone is in awe of you, so how can you have other ideas?"

"I don't know you dare." Qin Li snorted: "Go back and wait, I have to consider it."

Although he was particularly unhappy with his attitude, he was under the roof, so he could not bow his head. Prince Rong, who was once prominent for a while, could only bow and retreat.

As soon as he left, the tent returned to silence. Qin Li ordered all the candles to be extinguished, leaving only an oil lamp.

The tent soon darkened. Looking at the dim lights like beans, he fell into long-term contemplation.

At the critical moment of the turning point of this country, Qin Li found that he had become a key figure in controlling the situation. Although the number of troops who could follow him to the end was less than half of the total army, with the support of the nobles of Qi, coupled with various subtle situations, at this time, Qi was divided or unified, and the world was war or harmony, only in his thoughts!

Qin Li slowly pulled out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve, which was attached to the letter and written by another person, but he quietly put it away without anyone seeing it.

Under the dim oil lamp, Qin Li whispered: "The cunning rabbit is gone, the lackeys are cooked; the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; the enemy country is broken, the general is destroyed... The enemy country is broken, the general is destroyed... This is what touched his heartstrings.

The letter said that since ancient times, it is easy to share hardships between kings and ministers, and it is difficult to achieve peace. A political group, when threats and stubborn enemies and blocks the road, can often be united in order to defeat the enemy, conquer difficulties and achieve victory, and when careers are invented, they have a broad mind and a united heart and virtue. However, when the regime is in control, the mountains and seas respond, and the clouds and fogs are clear, they often suspicious and guard against each other, so that they kill each other regardless of the past.

"Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuanyu, but in Xiao Wall..." Qin Li slowly thought. The letter said: The internal division, distraction, intrigue, intrigue, and struggle for power and profit often does not occur when the situation is severe, but often occurs when the victory is about to come or has been obtained, which is now.

The person who wrote the letter said that this question is easy to explain. Because the imperial power is strongly exclusive, any emperor regards the world as private, and cannot tolerate others to challenge their authority and disperse their power. When conquering the world, because the generals need to exert their energy and stand on their own, they have to separate power. Naturally, when the world is settled and there is not much war, those commanders who establish noble authority in the war become unstable factors for a dynasty. For this, rulers of all dynasties cannot be avoided, and they often get rid of it quickly!

The letter finally listed the grief and anger of several generals:

One is Bai Qi, the former Qin Wu'an Jun. This commander who was victorious in every battle, had the power of life and death. In the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping, he killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, which made Zhao's ten-year-old soldiers unable to recover. How powerful is he? How domineering is he? He is so powerful that he is overwhelmed by the master of Qin's prime minister Fan Sui.

The second is Wu Zixu, a famous general in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was born in trouble and grew up in danger. He was determined by a young man, loyal and courageous. He had white hair overnight and suffered a great grudge! Wu, the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, began with his strategy and prospered in his management. Finally, he captured the capital of Chu, and he was revenged! However, his achievements were so great that he ended up committing suicide.

There is also the Wen Zong who made the greatest contribution to the destruction of Wu by King Goujian of Yue. After the destruction of Wu, Goujian was jealous of his talent and suspected his rebellion and eventually sentenced him to death. There is also the famous general of Zhao, Li Mu, the important minister of Qin, Shang Lian, the Han general, Han Xin, and the most representative Han Dynasty Zhou Yafu.

At that time, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was in great power, and the Han Dynasty was in danger. Zhou Yafu was ordered to judge the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms and turn the tide down immediately! It can be said that he was dominating for a while! But the world was settled, Emperor Jing suspected that his achievements were great and he was given a title, and he was punished. Yafu went on a hunger strike for five days and died in prison...

I have to admit that the person who wrote the letter was an extremely clever lobbyist, with reasonable evidence and examples. Qin Li was sweating profusely, as if he had really seen Qin Lei ascended the throne, tearing off his warm veil and starting to kill him and his men... Even if he didn't think about himself, Qin Li had to consider it for his generals!

The next morning, Prince Yong, who had not been asleep for a night, issued an order to split two armies of 600,000, and stayed in Qi State to maintain order; 300,000 returned to his country with him... and returned in the name of sudden changes in the country and empty troops.

But strangely, just when everyone thought that Shen Wei, Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong's troops were determined to stay, the appointment document was delivered. In addition to Shen Wei's unsurprising role as the commander of the left-behind army, Huangfu Zhanwen and Shi Yong were both in the sequence of returning to the country.

Three hundred thousand troops, half of them, half of them, and half of them, Jingshan. What do you think is going on?

However, Qin Li started to set off like this. During this period, Prince Rong came to him again, and he delayed the past in the name of not being suitable for guests during the march.

The army returned to China in June and arrived in the turbulent Guanzhong area in early July.

Two hundred miles away from the capital, Qin Li suddenly stopped moving forward, ordered the troops to set up camp, and wrote to Qin Lei, asking him to meet in a place called "Wushan Valley" and wanted to talk to him about big things... What's even more outrageous is that he warned Qin Lei not to lead the army, not to set up ambush, and to bring at most two entourages, and to feel Wushan Valley within three days!
