Chapter Three Hundred and Forty Six: Waves and Waves
After the banquet in Liyang Palace that day, Ying Qian invited Li He and Mo Jian to his residence.
Mo Jian was very tactful and guessed that Ying Qian had something to tell Li He. Although he had gone to the guest room to rest early, Li He was invited by Ying Qian to the study room. The latter also instructed the servants in the mansion to prepare some wine and dried fruits for wine.
"Taste my Daqin brew."
After Li He took his seat, Ying Qian changed the words Li He said when he was entertaining him in the old Liang Dynasty: "... Although it is not as good as the palace wine, it should still win a few points compared to others."
However, Li He was very disrespectful, and tasted it and said lightly: "It's far worse than the brewing of my old beam."
"You guy..."
Ying Qian was so angry that he couldn't help but curse. Then, he looked at Li He and said playfully, "...I didn't ask you to save me, and I won't accept your affection. Don't think of using this as a threat. If the king ordered me to attack Shaoliang in the future, I would never show mercy!"
Li He, who was drinking wine, glanced at Ying Qian and sneered: "Sorry, have you ever beat me?"
"..." Ying Qian was choked.
If you think about it carefully, he really seemed to have never beaten Li He. Even if he led the 200,000 Qin army that year, he won the victory. The other party used 200 Shao Liang soldiers to rob him of the monarch of Qin from Liyang and forcibly ended the war.
"You're less proud!"
Ying Qian glared at Li He and said viciously: "I only had to give me another half month, and in just half a month, you Shaoliang will be finished!"
Li He sneered and did not refute, after all, what Ying Qian said was indeed the truth.
But not refuting does not mean not mocking: "Okay, the 200,000 Qin troops did not defeat my Shaoliang's 30,000 to 40,000 troops, are you still embarrassed to mention it? People say they don't thank you for your kindness, but you'd be fine... If I had known this, I should have waited for your nose to be cut off by Wei Yang."
"Hmph, why are you here to save me? Why don't I know that you and I have this friendship?" Ying Qian sneered.
"It's a little bit." Li He didn't care. He shook the wine bottle and said lightly: "Although you and I can't be friends, I feel a little reluctant to see you fighting for the Qin Dynasty over the years, but I end up having a nose cut off at the end."
“…”
Ying Qian was stunned for a moment, and then a few complicated expressions appeared on his face.
I miss him Ying Qian, the eldest son of Qin and the eldest brother of the King of Qin. He has been loyal to the country and worked diligently over the years. Who would have thought he would almost be punished?
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and asked Li He seriously: "You Shaoliang...what are your plans in the future?"
"No plan." Li He threw a dried fruit into his mouth and said lightly: "It's nothing more than building three counties, Heyang and Shangjun... Anyway, Qin State should not have enough energy to challenge Wei State in recent years, and Hexi should be able to stabilize for a few years."
"I just asked casually." Ying Qian tentatively said: "You Shaoliang is standing on the side of Wei State? Then how can you explain to Qi State? Qi State borrowed your Shaoliang's 30 million yuan loan, and the debt has not been repaid. You Shaoliang turned around and helped Wei State deal with Qi State. This is not very good for Shaoliang."
"What does it have to do with you?" Li He glanced at Ying Qian and said angrily: "Are you a minister of my Shaoliang? Is it your turn to discuss this with me? Instead of staring at me Shaoliang, it is better to care more about your affairs in Qin."
"domestic?"
Ying Qian sniffed a sip of wine and snorted: "Are you talking about Wei Yang? Humph, just look at him forcibly pushing the new law with torture, I can already foresee his fate."
"I'm asking you, what are your plans in the future?" Li He glanced at Ying Qian and said lightly: "Even if I'm not in Qin, I can guess that the prince's violation of the ban was mostly encouraged by Du Zhi and Gan Long..."
I have to say that this is exactly what makes Ying Qian feel sore.
Just as Li He said, he actually guessed that although he believed that Du Zhi's original intention was not to frame him, but to use the prince to block Wei Yang's new method, as an implicated person who was almost cut off his nose, if he was not angry in his heart, it can only be said to be self-deception.
Look, at the big banquet just now, he deliberately was not cold to Du Zhi and others, and obviously those people should understand it too.
"I won't care anymore."
He shook his head and said, "Let Wei Yang and Du Zhi fight with Gan Long and others. Whoever wins and loses has nothing to do with me!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the wine bottle in one gulp, and obviously mentioned this matter, which made him lose the interest to continue talking to Li He.
The next day, the King of Qin sent people to inform the entire city of Liyang that the punishment that had been punished by Ying Qian and Gongsun Jia on behalf of the crown prince Ying Si was changed, and the punishment of Crown Prince Ying Si was cut in public and was punished.
At the entrance of the market in the city, in full view of countless people, the left and right supervisors of the Tingweisi Department loudly told the onlookers: "...... Under the doubts and suggestions of the Shaoliang Liangchengjun, the king re-investigated the prince's violation of the ban. Only then did he learn that the prince who had lived in the palace for a long time was instigated to use it. Ninja Prince was young and ignorant, and he was the first offender. Now, at the suggestion of Liangchengjun, His Highness the Prince will be punished to cut off his hair and take charge of his head. If there is another next time, he will be beheaded and punished!"
The onlookers looked horrified and looked at the prince Ying Si who was standing beside the left and right prison orders in shock. He watched with his own eyes the prince cut off his long hair with a sharp sword in public and abandoned the law on the ground.
You should know that people in the world have a custom of growing hair, saying that "the body and hair should be taken by their parents, and should not be destroyed easily." Now the crown prince Ying Si cut off his hair and replaced him. He also said that if there is another next time, he will be beheaded and punished, how can the people in the city not be afraid?
Even the prince was almost beheaded and punished because he was instigated and used to block the new law, let alone the subjects who deliberately violated the new law?
Seeing that the Qin people in Liyang accepted the verdict of Prince Ying Si to "cut the hair and replace the head", Li He and Mo Jian returned to Shaoliang.
After all, they all took the tummy and were attacked as an excuse, but in fact, the perpetrator had been beheaded by Wei Yang long ago.
When he learned that Li He and others were about to say goodbye, the prince Ying Si, who turned into a short-haired man, came to see him off with Ying Qian and a group of Qin nobles and nobles.
Although most of these people are for the sake of Ying Si and Ying Qian, only a small number of people who are favored by Li He are sincere. For example, Gongsun Jia, he expressed his gratitude to Li He again.
For example, Miao Lin, Gan Xing, Ji Liang, Xun Xia and other Qin generals who had been with Li He for several years were also grateful to Li He for debating Wei Yang and breathing a strong sigh for them.
It has to be said that Wei Yang's great creation of Qin was equivalent to the status of the prime minister of Qin, but in terms of popularity, even Li He, a minister of other countries, is far inferior, which makes people feel deeply moved.
At this time, the news that Prince Ying Si had cut off his hair and replaced him has also spread to Xianyang, and all the clans in Xianyang were silent.
Although they did not believe that if Prince Ying Si violated the law again, he would be beheaded and questioned, it cannot be denied that Prince's "cutting his hair and replacing his head" was enough to scare most of the subjects in the country.
What's more, with this lesson, the prince was sure not to violate Wei Yang's new law again. Apart from the prince, who in the country did not dare to kill Wei Yang?
So, when he returned to Xianyang to help Wei Yang's reform, he soon discovered that the local clans in Xianyang were much more honest, and no one dared to worry about expelling Tian Cha and their Liang Mo disciples who measured the land.
Of course, not daring to openly disobey does not mean that these clans have really accepted their fate. After all, this is related to the interests of their clans.
So soon some public grievances appeared in Xianyang that said the new law was inconvenient.
The question is, can these public grievances stop Wei Yang from implementing the new law?
cannot!
Although Wei Yang could not resolve these public grievances, he resolved those who made these public grievances.
Within just a few days, hundreds or thousands of civilians who resisted the new law were taken to the Wei River by soldiers sent by Wei Yang.
This scene shocked the belly and the five hundred Liang Mo disciples.
For this reason, he ran to Wei Yang and pleaded for hundreds of civilians who resisted the new law, saying that "the sin will not lead to death."
However, Wei Yang did not listen to the advice of the burying people and insisted on executing all those people beside the Wei River, abandoning the bodies for several months to warn everyone.
Then no one in Xianyang dares to say that the new law is inconvenient.
Afterwards, he told Yin Ying angrily: "This Wei Yang is a cruel official!"
I have to say that before, I had a very good impression of Wei Yang. After all, Wei Yang advocated reforms and enforced the law strictly. Although he was a little favoritist to Prince Ying Si, it was understandable. However, Wei Yang's behavior of insisting on executing thousands of people was difficult for him to agree with. Although his behavior of killing a chicken to warn the monkey was indeed extraordinary.
In contrast, Yin Ying, who had lived in Qin for more than four years, had known Wei Yang's cruelty in maintaining Qin's laws, so he could only comfort him. He said: "Take Liang Chengjun's blessing, Qin King, Prince, Ying Qian and others will take care of you and me more. If the master stayed in Wei Yang's side, it would be better to part ways with him."
He nodded viciously, and on the same day he personally resigned from Wei Yang, resigned from the official position he had granted him by Wei Yang. He immediately took five hundred Liang Mo disciples to the civilians of Qin, purely as a disciple of the Mo family to help the latter, and spread his Mo family thoughts by the way, and no longer interfered with the reforms of the Qin State.
The disagreement of the sacred law caused Wei Yang to lose a capable official, but this did not hinder the implementation of the new law.
In the following months, Wei Yang's new law was crushing, radiating from Xianyang to Wei horizontal plain, and then to the entire Guanzhong. Any force and individual who obstructed the new law openly and secretly were crushed by the army sent by Wei Yang. I don't know how many people died in this turmoil, and I don't know how many people fled to Liang in fear, but it was cheaper for Shaoliang. Taking advantage of the Qin Dynasty's reform, thousands of people became vain.
Even according to this canal, more Qin people may flee to Liang in the future. Considering that Shaoliang's main ethnic group Shaoliang people have the same clan and origin as Qin people, the Qin people will not be at a loss when they flee to Liang in the future.
And while Qin State was carrying out the secondary reforms in a mighty manner, two major events also happened.
In late September, the Zongbo Wang Xiao of Shaoliang and Zhao Cheng of Zhao of Zhao gathered in the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng, under the witness of Han Hou, and the three parties signed another "Missy Three Jins" alliance under the leadership of Han Gong Shen Buwei, with only one alliance, that is, if Wei takes action against any of the three countries in the future, the other two countries have the obligation to rescue and jointly attack Wei.
Although this was tacitly approved by Wei, because it targeted the overlord Wei, Han, Zhao, and Shaoliang did not make everyone known, and signed the alliance very low-key.
What was more high-profile during this period was the declaration of war between the State of Wei and Zhao, or the division between the State of Wei.
Facing Wei and Zhao's attacks on both sides, the little Wei State could not stop them at all, so he could only ask for help from Qi State.
