Chapter 337: Wei-Qin Union
"I... suddenly felt tired and beg to leave."
After a long struggle, Ying Qian finally failed to agree and bowed to the King of Qin to say goodbye.
Seeing this, a little disappointment appeared on the face of the King of Qin, and he squeezed out a smile and said as if nothing had happened: "It's my negligence. Brother has worked hard recently. Since I have returned to Liyang, let's take a rest for a few days."
"Thank you for your compassion, I will give up."
"Brother, walk slowly."
Ying Qian bowed to the King of Qin again, then turned around and walked towards the gate of the palace.
Looking at his departure back, the smile on the King of Qin gradually closed, replaced by a sigh.
Soon, Wei Yang came hurried and asked the King of Qin respectfully: "King, I don't know..."
"Brother didn't agree."
The King of Qin shook his head.
He did not resent Ying Qian. After all, Ying Qian's performance just now was enough to prove that this brother supported him. Otherwise, with the current situation of undercurrents in Qin State, as long as Ying Qian ascended to the top, there were countless nobles in the country who were willing to become the front pawns of the eldest son, and to force the palace, or even... deposed and established the monarch!
You know, in fact, Ying Qian also has the qualification to inherit his position as the monarch of the Great Qin Dynasty.
However, this brother had no inappropriate thoughts. After returning to the city to take a shower and change his clothes, he came to see him first, and his attitude was the same as before.
In a nutshell, such a loyal brother would not waste the Qin King's power in his army.
The only regret is that the elder brother did not stand on him in the end - to be precise, he did not stand on the side of Wei Yang, who was in charge of the reform.
In fact, the King of Qin could understand this: although he was also from the Ying clan, he was the king of Qin and ruled the entire Qin state and the Qin people of the whole country. In his eyes, the country was higher than the clan; but Ying Qian was different, he was not a king, so it was understandable that he valued the clan the most, that is, the interests of the Ying clan.
Wei Yang's second new law not only harmed the interests of the nobles and nobles across the country, but also the interests of the Ying clan. Although Ying Qian was loyal to the country and clan at the same time, he would not tolerate the interests of the Ying clan being damaged.
Not to mention, as Ying Qian accused, Wei Yang was too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and tried to solve the accumulated problems over the past 500 years in ten years, completely ignoring the rebound of so many nobles and local tyrants in Qin State.
Seeing the King of Qin showing deep thoughts, Wei Yang felt a little nervous and tentatively tentatively: "King, that new method..."
“Continue to implement it!”
The King of Qin calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Although my eldest brother did not agree, he did not refute it anymore. He also understood that I, Qin, must make changes... I will give me a few days to try, and I will find a way to convince him."
"I obey the order."
Wei Yang bowed his hand and then offered his advice: "King, I think you might as well take Qianshuai to join us to join the King of Wei. Taking this opportunity, I will also carry out reforms throughout Guanzhong."
When the King of Qin heard this, he moved slightly and nodded slowly.
At the same time, Ying Qian had returned to his mansion, but he did not immediately invite Du Zhi, Gan Long and others to discuss ways to fight Wei Yang's new law, but instead drank in his study, because of the "seeing in his dream" of the King of Qin.
You should know that when the Qin King and Qin Xian Gong fought against the Wei Kingdom in the previous generation, the Qin King was still young. As the eldest son of Qin, Ying Qian served as his father's deputy general for a long time and supported his father's war with Wei Kingdom to regain Hexi. Therefore, the regrets and resentment of their father's unfulfilled ambitions at the end of his life were particularly touched by him.
This is also the reason why Ying Qian, as the elder brother, was willing to respect his younger brother as the king of Qin, while he became a minister and opened up territory for Qin. Whether it was their father or their brother, they wanted Qin to be strong and replace Wei.
Now, Qin has arrived at a fork in the road that concerns the national destiny. To the left, he implemented reforms regardless of everything, and took all the power of the land stolen by nobles and local tyrants over the past four or five hundred years into the royal power, so that Qin can have enough resources and confidence to develop and face the next war; to the right, he is standing still, and the advantage is that the domestic situation tends to stabilize, and the Ying family will not be implicated.
So, which party should he choose?
Closed his eyes, Ying Qian's mind again showed his regret and resentful expression when their father passed away. He knew that he had made a decision.
He remained neutral for the time being, and tacitly allowed Wei Yang to implement reforms, but he could keep an eye on this guy at any time, so as not to be eager for quick success and instant benefits and trigger civil strife in Qin.
Just as the King of Qin said, Ying Qian actually knew that Wei Yang's reforms were beneficial to him in Qin. He resisted Wei Yang, a man who was mean and ruthless and eager for utilitarianism.
In contrast, in Ying Qian's eyes, Li He from Shaoliang was better than Wei Yang, with both kindness and power, and both hardness and softness, so that there was almost no storm during that period of reform. Although it was because Shaoliang was a young man and had few aristocratic forces in the country at that time, Ying Qian still insisted on thinking that Li He was better than Wei Yang.
At least Li He is honest and trustworthy, kind and righteous, and is a person who can be friends, even if both sides tend to be hostile from the national standpoint.
"Pooh."
Ying Qian spit out the rosy in his mouth with some annoyance.
After drinking the clear and impurities-free wine of Shaoliang, his Qin Dynasty was suddenly a little uncomfortable with it.
That's it, but Ying Qian still got himself drunk that day, fell asleep after getting drunk, and refused to make any visitors.
This time I slept until the next day.
At that time, Ying Qian's guards came to awaken him and said respectfully: "Shi Qian, please invite the king."
Ying Qian frowned slightly, but didn't say much. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he went into the palace to meet the King of Qin.
I have to say that yesterday's conversation between the two brothers was quite harmonious when they discussed the "Five Thousand War Horses" deal. The subsequent conversations about reforms were simply awkward, which made the eunuchs present hold their breath and dare not look up, for fear that the two of them would start to quarrel and harm the fish in the pond.
Because of this, Ying Qian was also puzzled by what his brother summoned him today.
Could it be that you still want to persuade him?
In fact, he had already made a statement at that time - not making a statement is just a statement.
With his thoughts in mind, Ying Qian finally met the King of Qin in the hall.
The King of Qin seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment and unhappiness of the two brothers yesterday. After seeing Ying Qian, he smiled and said, "Brother is here?... I invite my elder brother to come today because I hope that my elder brother will accompany me to Hexi and join us to join the Wei State."
"Agreement?" Ying Qian was stunned and then understood.
To be precise, it should be summing.
After all, Qin State was newly defeated by Hedong, and he had to be busy with reforms next. He really had no energy to continue to fight against Wei State. Therefore, it is necessary to try to reconcile with Wei State so as not to do something when the Qin State reforms - it would not be necessary to launch a large-scale attack. After all, Qin State, Shaoliang and the "Hexi Alliance" are there, so I am afraid that Wei State will take the opportunity to make conspiracies. After all, the situation in Qin State is not optimistic at the moment.
After thinking about it again, Ying Qian also realized that the brother in front of him might have taken the opportunity to send him away from the country. After all, without his participation, Du Zhi, Gan Long and others dared not go too far in confronting Wei Yang, otherwise they would be very likely to be charged with treason by Wei Yang.
"Brother, please!"
“…”
Looking at the King of Qin with a sincere face, Ying Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly: "Okay... Since that's the case, I will accompany the King to join the alliance with the State of Wei."
Seeing this, the King of Qin was overjoyed and smiled, "With the help of my elder brother, this matter will be accomplished!"
“…”
Ying Qian's lips moved slightly, but he didn't ask that question after all.
Without further ado, the King of Qin set out for Hexi that day. He not only brought Ying Qian, but also brought Gan Long and other loyal ministers.
This move shocked Du Zhi, Gan Long and other "anti-New Law Sects". After all, they were preparing to use a ruthless move to instigate public opinion to fight Wei Yang's new law. As a result, before the action was started, half of the people involved were taken away by the King of Qin.
Let’s stop it, there is no reason. After all, it’s such a big deal to join Wei State, so just let King Qin and Ying Qian go? Isn’t that a joke by Wei State?
Don’t stop them. They have half of the palace ministers here. How can they fight against Wei Yang?
After all, King Qin and Ying Qian were not in Liyang. Wei Yang, who was named a great master by the King of Qin because he was presided over the new law, is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the country at present, and he is in charge of the power of life and death for most people.
So, during the next period of time, the anti-new faction law suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, the King of Wei had also received a request from Qin to send people to Daliang.
"Agreement? I think it's a peace?"
When the King of Wei mentioned this in the hall, all the Wei ministers in the hall laughed loudly, and even Xia Yangjun smiled and looked unfathomable.
I have to say that the King of Wei was indeed very happy at this time.
Not only because of the regaining of Hedong County, but also because after the regaining of Hedong County, Shaoliang had no excuse to postpone the "Hedong Alliance".
Why did Pang Juan garrison in Puyang and dare not cross the river to attack Linjin? It is because Shaoliang and Qin had a "Hexi alliance". Once the Wei army set foot in Hexi, Shaoliang must abide by the obligation of "sharing Hexi with Qin".
Although this incident made the King of Wei a little unhappy, in the same way, the State of Wei could also sign a similar alliance with Shaoliang, namely the "Hedong Alliance".
Once this alliance is signed, the Wei State will no longer have to worry about the threat from Qin, because Shao Liang shared the responsibility with him, and Wei State will be able to spend most of his experience in attacking Chu, Song, Wei State, and even Qi State.
The King of Wei even thought about the order of the battle: first join forces with Zhao and attack Wei State, which betrayed his Wei State back then; then join forces with South Korea and attack Song State; or simply go in two ways and advance in unison.
Faced with this great situation, the King of Wei couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting that he should have listened to Xia Yangjun's advice long ago. If he had listened to Xia Yangjun's advice back then, how could he have fallen to the point of "Wei and Qi respect each other" and be forced to admit that Qi is the overlord of the East?
No! There is only one overlord in the world, and that is his Great Wei!
In early August, the monarchs of Qin and Wei Dynasties dated and joined forces in Anyi.
Although it was said that the two countries had an alliance, there were three parties. In addition to Qin and Wei, Shaoliang was also invited by King Wei and Xia Yangjun.
After all, in Hexi and Hedong, this war-torn place is not the only two countries in Qin and Wei, and Shaoliang has become a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
Secondly, Wei State has other purposes.
