When people were in Qin, the advantage was mine

Chapter 3 Chen Feichen

……

Xianyang Palace.

Zhangtai Palace.

Zhangtai Palace is located south of the Wei River and in the center of Xianyang Palace. It is the political center of the Qin State, where daily court meetings, meetings with envoys, etc. are all held.

Ying Chen, who was reminded by Li Wu, hurried over to attend today's court meeting to discuss the war outside the customs.

It was the old man Guiguzi who came to his house early in the morning to fight with him. After the fight, he talked about a lot of random things. After going on for so long, he forgot that there was a court meeting today.

"What's the direction of the inward wind?" Ying Chen asked.

Hearing the sound, the red-haired officer who was leading the way slowed down and came to the side of Ying Chen, "Return to your Majesty and take charge of the battle."

"Main battle?" Ying Chen snorted coldly.

"Do they still have the nerve to fight?"

Before he left, he told Ying Zichu alone that it was not appropriate for the Qin State to start a war at the moment, because in recent years he had spent most of the Qin State's strength on water conservancy projects, including the three dams on the river, and his attack on the river. When he was under Shangdang, the water conservancy expert Zheng Guo was snatched from South Korea. He was the same Zheng Guo who helped South Korea carry out the "Plan to Weak Qin" in history and built the Zheng Guo Canal, which almost brought down the Qin State.

Although the construction of three dams on the previous rivers brought a lot of fertile land to the Qin State, the manpower and material resources consumed to repair them were not a small amount. Now the Guanzhong Canal, also known as the Zhengguo Canal, is being built in advance, and the Qin State's rear It’s a time of emptiness, and it’s not enough to fight at this time. Instead, he directly mobilizes an army of 20 people and a battle line of more than a thousand miles to bypass the two countries of Zhao and Han to attack Wei!

Whose wise man came up with this strategy? !

"What does Lu Buwei mean?" Ying Chen asked again.

Zhao Gao, the red-haired official, paused and said, "The Prime Minister has not expressed his position yet."

"He wants to save face." Ying Chen looked towards the main hall above the long staircase.

Lu Buwei serves as the prime minister and is in charge of the government. He knows how much it will cost to build the Guanzhong Canal. Now if he really has a head-on fight with the Five Nations Allied Forces, then the Guanzhong Canal, which has just been built for less than a year, will be declared aborted!There is no way, we can’t afford to fix it!
The manpower and material resources required to repair the Guanzhong Canal are huge, and fighting will result in death and material consumption. Now the allied forces outside the Guanzhong, commanded by Lord Xinling, are still gathering troops!Currently, more than 50 people are stuck at Hangu Pass!
He couldn't understand why the coalition forces, which historically dispersed on their own after reaching Hangu Pass, were still gathering troops.Could it be that they really wanted to pass Hangu Pass?Destroyed Qin?
Does Mr. Xinling think he is Kuang Zhang?
The Qin State has no division of troops now, and all its troops can be devoted to the Hangu Pass battle. Even after hearing that Meng Ao was defeated, he directly wrote a letter asking Meng Ao not to fight the coalition forces and just run away.

Although it seems that the coalition forces were victorious and the Qin army was defeated, in fact, the 20 troops brought out by Meng Ao suffered less than [-] losses before they retreated to Hangu Pass. The so-called defeat was simply because they lost too much. With many cities, the Qin army suffered no damage.

Therefore, with the Qin army's sufficient strength and the current march route of the coalition forces, unless the coalition forces can gather more than one million troops and attack desperately regardless of losses, it will be impossible to forcibly break through the Hangu Pass natural barrier.

But, an army of one million?What's going on?

Even if this world is not real history, but the Qin Dynasty Mingyue full of fantasy, an army of millions is still a pure joke!

And how could the Six Nations be willing to accompany Lord Xinling to play such a game of perish together?
……

Inside the main hall of Zhangtai Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were standing on the left and right sides of the hall without saying a word, including King Qin Ying Zheng who was sitting in the hall, and Zhao Ji who was beside him.

After the death of the late king, Prince Zheng succeeded to the throne. Due to his young age, the internal affairs of the court were entrusted to the Prime Minister Lu Buwei, and all major military affairs were entrusted to Lord Luoyang. Half of the Tiger Talisman of King Qin used to mobilize the army belonged to Lord Luoyang, and the other half Then leave it to the Queen Mother Zhao Ji.

In other words, Luoyang Jun Yingchen was responsible for the Hangu Pass battle.

The military has no objection to this arrangement. Not only is Ying Chen blessed by Bai Qi's connections and reputation, but King Zhao has thrown Ying Chen into the army since Changping. Over the past ten years, Ying Chen has been Chen himself had no problem with his reputation in the military.

Under the deliberate arrangements of King Zhao and King Xiaowen, Ying Chen was present all over the country. Major events such as the Western Zhou Dynasty's annihilation war and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty's annihilation war were all attended by Ying Chen. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ying Chen even personally led the troops. Therefore, his reputation, ability, reputation, and status in the military are obvious to all.

However, this arrangement is somewhat unfriendly to civil servants.

Because Ying Chen has an extremely buggy point - he has no specific official position!
Position represents power, just like Lu Buwei's position as Prime Minister, which can take charge of the military and administration of a country!

But at the same time, position also represents responsibility. If something goes wrong within the scope of responsibility, the person holding the position will be responsible.

But King Zhao decreed that Young Master Ying Chen was not allowed to hold office!

On the surface, it was to cut off the possibility of this prosperous young master of the Qin State to take power and prevent civil strife in the Qin State, but in fact, it was to completely alienate him from any responsibility!

Just because he doesn't hold a position doesn't mean he has no power.Although King Xiaowen died suddenly after only three days after taking the throne, at the first meeting of the Celestial Dynasty when he officially succeeded to the throne, it was announced that Young Master Ying Chen had the right to supervise all officials and kill them first and report later!

Having power but not having power means taking the blame, but having power but not having power is our ancestor!
Of course, if it was just the right to kill first and report later, although everyone was afraid of this guy, they wouldn't be so afraid.

The reason why the officials in the court are so afraid of Ying Chen is because this guy has a trap given by King Zhao!Relying on the power of the Qin Kingdom during the Zhao Dynasty, this giant network intertwined over the seven kingdoms!

What the net can do is not only kill people, collect intelligence, find evidence, and even create evidence!They are also good at these things!

But now, Ying Chen even holds the military power in his hands. Who else dares to mess with him among the civil and military officials in this dynasty?Even Prime Minister Lu Buwei has become more honest!
"Luoyang Jun is here!"

Hearing the sound, the originally silent court became even quieter.

This defeat of Dahe, to be more serious, was caused by them!

After all, the late king has passed away, so they can't say that this was something the late king insisted on fighting, right?
Didn’t you see that Meng Ao claimed to be ill after being recalled from Hangu Pass?Why?
Guilt ah!
Before Ying Chen left, he warned him not to fight. The time had not come yet. As a result, as soon as Ying Chen went out to take a look at the north, Qin's 20-strong army marched towards Wei in a mighty manner. The key was to block the news in advance. , did it without telling Ying Chen!By the time people knew the news, Meng Ao had been beaten back by Lord Xinling!

Is this any different from when an adult goes out to do errands and a child gets into trouble at home, only to have the adult come back to wipe his butt?
Shame!
Ying Chen walked slowly into the hall, scanning everyone in his highness with his flat eyes. All the officials bowed their heads and remained silent.

"I'm late, please forgive me, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ying Chen walked to the palace and bowed his hands.

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Zhao Ji on the side hurriedly raised her hand, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, "It won't be too late, the court meeting has not started yet, Lord Luoyang, please take a seat."

Ying Chen made no move. Ying Zheng had just succeeded to the throne and had no foundation, reputation or achievements in the court. At this time, if his uncle, who currently held a heavy army, did not give him some face, then he, the King of Qin, would not be able to do anything. It’s really just a showpiece.

After all, his attitude directly determines the attitude of the military and the Qin clan towards Ying Zheng, whether they are close, distant, or just wait and see.

Ying Zheng, who was sitting there, did not say anything. This disguised "establishing authority" was what they had discussed before. After all, he, the new King of Qin, did not have any dignity in the hearts of these courtiers.

However, this strange scene made His Highness's civil and military officials confused for a while.

When did Ying Chen become so disciplined?
During the reigns of King Zhao, King Xiaowen, and the previous kings, it was difficult to see Ying Chen being so generous!

Moreover, when Ying Zheng was the crown prince, he was often beaten by Ying Chen!In other words, almost everyone in the clan, as well as the noble children of Xianyang, had been beaten by Ying Chen!
This matter is famous in the seven countries!

Why has your attitude changed so much today?
"..."

In the palace, looking at the silent Ying Zheng, Zhao Ji's eyes gradually became dangerous, and her weak hands pinched Ying Zheng's lower back!
"Hiss!" Unprepared, Ying Zheng, who was attacked by surprise, took a deep breath and looked back at his mother in bewilderment.

What are you doing?Didn't we discuss this before?

"That's it." Zhao Ji threatened in a low voice, "You've been standing here for so long. You want to save face, but your uncle doesn't?"

"But this was agreed upon in advance. Didn't you also..." Before he could finish his words, Ying Zheng was attacked again, but this time he held back and remained silent.

His Highness and all the officials looked at Ying Zheng, who was whispering to Zhao Ji, and his face suddenly turned red. They all looked puzzled. What does this mean?

Only Ying Chen, who was closer and a martial arts practitioner, clearly heard the conversation between mother and son. At this moment, he was very helpless.

With his intervention, the relationship between mother and son has not had any problems so far. However, Zhao Ji's attention is inexplicably focused on him.

Although when the two of them were in Handan, it was he who bribed Guo Kai with money to make the life of the mother and son much better in Handan. Later, it was he who asked Luo Wang to "rob" the two of them out of Handan, and so on. They got along well with each other in Xianyang in [-]. It was his suggestion that Ying Zheng be made the crown prince. After all, the Qin State established a heir regardless of his age. When Ying Yiren was dying, he also asked him to be an orphan...

But, can't it?
After some hesitation, Ying Chen sat down.

And His Highness's civil and military officials are not fools. They understand the purpose of Ying Chen's operation. It is nothing more than to express his attitude.

However, Ying Chen doesn’t have to be like this.

Because, King Zhao has ordered Chen Feichen!
Ying Chen is not a royal minister!
Even though Ying Chen lost his position as Crown Prince due to Bai Qi's incident, it does not mean that he will be inferior to others.

In the Qin Kingdom, Ying Chen is above ten thousand people, but not below anyone...
