The mess at home was finally dealt with, and King Qin thought that this time the widow would "make great achievements in the vast world", but he didn't think about it and made a difference.
This matter has to start with the first year of the succession to the throne. At that time, a water conservancy expert named Zheng Guo came from Korea to Chengcheng, and he suggested to Lu Buwei to build a canal with a total length of more than 300 li to connect Jingshui and Luoshui. It is said that after the completion of the canal, the land of Guanzhong will be fertile and thousands of miles. Lu Buwei was overwhelmed by this, and immediately ordered the appropriation to start construction. It wasn't until the construction was about to be completed that the King of Qin received reliable information that the water expert was a spy and that the canal was only built to "exhaust Qin" and ease the pressure on South Korea.
When the news spread, Qin Ting was in an uproar. Those clan relatives and aristocrats who had been standing aside for a long time used the "Zhengguo Incident" as an introduction to criticize Hakqing, and also put up a slogan "Qin people rule Qin". Under the pressure of public opinion, the King of Qin issued an "eviction order" - all those who did not have a household registration of the Qin State were rolled out.
Just as the guest secretaries were dejected and dressed, a Chu countryman named Li Si couldn't help but bubble.
This Li Si is Xunzi's apprentice, when he was young, he carefully studied the difference between rats living in the toilet and the granary, and came to the conclusion that there is no difference between life and rats, the butt determines the head, and the social status has the final say! Therefore, the pursuit of fame and profit became his life's work. In his own words, "there is no denigration than lowliness, and no sorrow is greater than poverty." When he was successful in his studies, he disdained to follow the incompetent King of Chu and ran to the Qin State to become Lu Buwei's protégé. Through Lü Buwei's recommendation, Li Si became a Lang official and was able to serve the King of Qin.
Li Si is a man with a chest hidden in the hills and a lotus flower. He spared no effort to sell his "imperial art" to the King of Qin. O great king, it is difficult for those who wait and see to do anything. I think that at the beginning, Duke Mu of Qin did not want to dominate the world, but at that time, "the princes were still many, and Zhou De was not declining", to put it bluntly, the strength of the Great Qin State was not good. Since the change of filial piety, the situation has been increasingly moving in favor of Daqin, and now it is as easy to destroy the eastern princes as cleaning the stove. But if you don't seize the opportunity, one day the princes will react and join forces to resist Qin, even if the great king is more powerful than the Yellow Emperor, I am afraid there is nothing to do.
Li Si also made two specific suggestions to the King of Qin: first, to bribe those in power in various countries with heavy money, buy those who can be bought, and simply send assassins to assassinate those who cannot be bought; Second, they first attacked Korea, which is located at the "pivot of the world", to deter the eastern countries. On this basis, follow the master of the tiger and wolf, "destroy the princes, become an emperor, and unify the world"? King Qin thought deeply and promoted Li Si to be the prime minister.
Li Si had just entered the rising stage of his career, but the King of Qin issued an "eviction order"! He was unwilling to leave, and before leaving, he racked his brains to write a splendid "Book of Evictions": "It is because Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become great; The river and the sea do not choose the trickle, so they can be deep; The king is not only the multitude, so he can understand his virtue. The King of Qin was amazed when he saw the strike festival, and immediately abolished the eviction order, sent someone to chase Li Si, who had already left the city, back and appointed him as a chief justice.
The King of Qin revoked the "eviction order", allowing Zheng Guo, who was in prison, to see a glimmer of life. The criminal minister has indeed survived for Korea for a few years, but once the canal is built, it is the Great Qin Kingdom that will enjoy the benefits of all worlds!
Weighing the pros and cons, the King of Qin decided to pardon Zheng Guo's sins and let him continue to finish the canal. Zheng Guo lived up to expectations and finally completed the magnificent project that made those "tofu dregs" masters in later generations ashamed - Zheng Guoqu!
As for Li Si, he not only became prime minister as he wished, but his eldest son Li Youye was also an official to Sanchuan Commandery, equivalent to a provincial high-ranking official, and several sons married princesses, and daughters also married princes.
Once when Li You went home to visit his relatives, Li Si set up a family banquet to wash the dust for him, and thousands of cars and horses stopped in front of his house uninvited, causing a serious traffic jam. made Li Si himself sigh, thinking that I Li someone is just a poor scholar in Cai, when I was in school, the master often taught me that "things are too prosperous", and now I am extremely rich, I really don't know how it will end in the future!
Before he died, he hugged his young son and wept bitterly, saying the most reasonable saying that made the world's powerful people shudder: "I want to chase the rabbit from the Cai Dongmen with Ruofu Yellow Dog, how can I get it!" "However, that was already the era of Qin II.
Li Si's ascension greatly stimulated those lobbyists who were "idle", and the big guys ran to the Qin Kingdom like birds and phoenixes.
A Wei native named Wei Yi gave advice to the King of Qin. With the strength of Great Qin, the eastern princes are just the princes of counties, but in case they adopt the strategy of joining forces to resist Qin, it will really be a bit troublesome to deal with. Thinking that Zhibo, Fucha, and King Qi all relaxed their vigilance at their peak and eventually failed, the king should take this as a warning. I hope you don't skimp on your belongings, and give up a lot of money to bribe the powerful ministers of various countries, so that if you only consume hundreds of thousands of gold, the world can decide!
This person actually coincides with Li Si, which is really the same as the hero's sight! In order to keep Wei Yi, the King of Qin gave him quite high treatment. Needless to say, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even "see the captain and salute", which probably means to refer to each other as "buddies". Unexpectedly, the captain did not appreciate it, and ran away with a pat on the butt. Just run, run, and before leaving, he threw "slices of soup talk", degrading King Qin to nothing.
This person is not only ugly, but also mean and unkind, hiding the heart of a tiger and wolf! When his deeds were not accomplished, he treated people with humility and ease, and in order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to treat me like this. If one day he is satisfied, he will regard the world as a slave and kill people like grass!
This is going to be put on hold until Zhu Yuanzhang, and don't chop him up and feed him to the dog? But the king of Qin was really generous, and he begged Wei Yi back and appointed him as a national lieutenant, and obeyed his words.
When the King of Qin heard that there was a hermit named Dunwan living in the kingdom with two brushes, he immediately sent an envoy to the dynasty. He asked the messenger to tell the King of Qin that I was not a Qin person, and I would never step into Xianyang for half a step unless the King of Qin allowed me not to pay homage! The envoy wondered if he saw the king and did not salute, are you dying? Who knew that King Qin nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.
When he saw King Qin, he suddenly opened his mouth to ask for money. The major events in the world are nothing more than a combination of vertical and horizontal, and the union of vertical and vertical will exist in the six countries, and Lian Heng will be called emperor of Qin. The six eastern countries used Han as their throat and Wei as their chest and abdomen, which could make Han and Wei subordinate to Qin, and the line of union would be undoubtedly broken. Ask the great king and the minister to take ten thousand gold, and the minister is willing to swim in the east for the great king and act when he sees the opportunity.
The gentleman said lively, but it is a pity that the widow has no money in his pocket.
Flick your sleeves weakly, then wait for the Chu State to dominate the country, and then the king's money may not really be his own.
King Qin hurriedly stopped him, the widow was playing with the husband, money was not a problem, so he approved the notes according to the number of notes that the husband said. Dunweak was really unambiguous, and took this money to go up and down the eastern countries, completely dismantling the strategy of the six countries to join forces to resist Qin, and achieving victories for the Qin state that could not be achieved on the battlefield.
It is said that Li Si, Wei Yi, and Dunwan are all the masters of some feather fans, and they have to rely on military generals to charge the bloody battlefield.
After the death of Wu'an Junbai in the Qin state, Wang Gong, Huan Yan, Yang Duan, and Zhiyong were more than enough, but they were not the material to pick the big beams. Lü Buwei had a discerning eye and found a good general for the Qin state. From Lü Buwei's reign until his death in the seventh year of the reign of King Qin (240 BC), he expanded the territory of the Qin state for more than a decade, beating the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei to death.
After Mengqiao's death, his son Mengwu followed Wang to the south in the Northern War. Meng Wu gave birth to two sons, the elder brother was Meng Tian who later threatened the Xiongnu, and the younger brother Meng Yi was favored by the King of Qin. One of the brothers was fighting in a foreign army, and the other was planning in the DPRK, and "the generals did not dare to argue with each other." ”
In the process of pacifying the Six Kingdoms, the greatest credit must be said to be Wang Yi and Wang Ben's father and son. The two hardest bones of the State of Zhao and the State of Chu were gnawed down by Wang Yi, and the destruction of the Three Kingdoms of Yan, Wei and Qi was Wang Bian's masterpiece. In addition, it is worth mentioning Li Xin, who is good at riding a fierce horse and holding a strong bow, he is the ancestor of the "flying general" Li Guang, and he also performed well in the war to pacify the Yan Kingdom.
King Qin was surrounded by such a large number of martial arts masters, and the six eastern countries seemed to him to be six piglets waiting to be slaughtered, just waiting for him to sharpen his sword.
