Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 966

Yu Xin also made a real argument, and immediately said: "Chu is an enemy, and it is natural to deal with the enemy by any means, and the priority is to win. What reputation is not credible should not be the scope of consideration now at all! Back then, King Qin Zhao didn't It was also untrustworthy and unrighteous to detain King Huai of Chu, what was the result? The Qin State did not decline because of this untrustworthy and unjust behavior, but reached its peak under the rule of King Qin Zhao!"

"Who says there is no decline?" Zhao Sheng sneered: "It is precisely because of King Qin Zhao's unfaithfulness and righteousness that Qin State failed in the Battle of Changping! If King Qin Zhao had more faith back then, then the Three Kingdoms of Chu, Wei and Han If you don’t stand on the side of my Zhao country, Qin will not fail!”

Hearing this, Zhao Dan on the throne couldn't help but move slightly.

In fact, to be honest, from Zhao Dan himself, he is actually very clear that if Qin's untrustworthy and unjust behavior were not due to the reversal brought about by Zhao Dan's time travel, then Qin would have really succeeded .

Things like faith are sometimes useful, but sometimes they are useless.Otherwise, throughout the ages, there would not have been so many treacherous and deceitful guys who stole the country's rights and even the throne.

After all, this world has never been like in fairy tales, where good people are always rewarded and evil people are punished by God.

Looking at the two ministers who were still arguing fiercely in front of him, Zhao Dan fell into deep thought.

In fact, after hearing this, Zhao Dan can already feel that whether it is Zhao Sheng or Yu Xin, their starting point is for the country of Zhao, but the means to achieve the goal are inconsistent.

This somewhat made Zhao Dan feel relieved.

In Zhao Sheng's view, "righteousness" is the most important thing. Even if it is to conquer another country, it should be crushed by an upright teacher, rather than such a sudden change of mind and sneak attack.

But Yu Xin's attitude is completely different from Zhao Sheng's. In Yu Xin's view, it is nonsense to be justified, and the only serious thing is to occupy the land.

Now that the state of Chu has become so weak, and a civil war broke out on its own, this opportunity was completely dropped from the sky, how could it be missed?It would be foolish to miss it.

As for treachery, anyway, there are only three countries in the world now, and Qin will definitely be killed after Chu is destroyed, so no matter how Qin and Chu criticize Zhao, it doesn't matter.

Who cares what complaints a dying nation has?If you have any complaints, let the Chu people go underground and talk to Lord Yan.

But Zhao Dan also knew that Yu Xin was actually a little selfish.

After all, according to the current situation, once Zhao Guo really decided to attack Chu State immediately, Lian Po, who was in Yingdu, would definitely be the candidate to be the leader.

Lian Po can become the main general, so there is no doubt that as long as Chu is destroyed, the commoner faction will definitely have the greatest contribution in this round.

What Zhao Sheng wanted was for Qin and Chu to be killed by Zhao Guo with reason and evidence, while Yu Xin wanted to kill these two countries as quickly as possible by any means.

However, how to choose?

It's really a troublesome question.

Zhao Dan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Li Muqing's family, let me tell you what you think."

Li Mu led the army back to Handan three days ago.

Li Mu thought for a moment, and said, "I didn't have much contact with the Chu army before returning to the king. It should be based on the specific situation on the battlefield."

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "It's okay, just say what you say."

Li Mu was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that judging from the current situation of Chu State, if General Lian Po can take Yingdu, it will be a big blow to Chu State, but if It is not necessarily true that Chu State will be destroyed in this way.”

Zhao Dan thought for a while and said, "You mean that after Li Yuan is destroyed, there are still three major families, right?"

"That's right." Li Mu nodded and said, "I think it's better to withdraw the troops first and securely take down the land ceded by Li Yuan. Although the land ceded by Li Yuan belongs to the three major families, the three major families In the current situation, they absolutely dare not continue to have any conflicts with our army."

"In this way, the king can sit and wait for Li Yuan and the three major families to kill each other. If there is a civil strife in Chu, the people must be in dire straits. At that time, the king will send the king to attack Chu and save the people of Chu. Among them, the people of Chu will definitely feed the pots of pulp to welcome the master. If this is the case, Chu will be flattened without any effort!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a temporary silence.

Zhao Dan looked at Li Mu with some surprise, apparently he did not expect Li Mu to say such a thing.

To be honest, this kind of trick that deceives people invisibly should generally be the kind of old-fashioned politicians who can come up with it.

After all, those old bones have seen a lot of calculations, so they are naturally confident when they are calculating others.

Although Li Mu can be regarded as a master of the generation from the perspective of the art of war, the problem is that Li Mu basically has no experience in the political arena, how could he come up with such a strategy with a strong political conspiracy atmosphere?

Zhao Dan's eyes turned around in the hall, and he suddenly realized something.

Now Li Mu is said to be actively looking for allies. Judging from the situation reported by the Guardian, the relationship between Li Mu, Li Si and Zheng Zhu has been okay in the past few years.

It seemed that one of these two men gave him the idea.

This may be a good thing.

After taking a deep look at Li Mu, Zhao Dan's expression suddenly relaxed a lot, and he said slowly, "Okay, next, you can express your opinions."

Pang Nuan and Lian Po were not present, so there were only seven of them.

Yu Xin's opinion was supported by Uncle Li, and Li Mu's opinion was supported by Zhao Sheng, Li Si, Zheng Zhu, and Ju Xin.

Zhao Dan nodded, glanced at Yu Xin, who had an ugly face, and finally made a decision: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to rush, let Wu Xinjun lead the troops to accept the land ceded by Li Yuan. Immediately It's Shangji and New Year's Day, you can focus on these two things first. As for the war, let's save it for next spring."

The mythical version of the Ming Dynasty, written by a book friend of this book, Seedlings.Those who are interested can go and have a look.

The brief introduction is as follows: Shen Rui crossed over and became Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, it was only 15 years since the collapse of Ming Dynasty.

Although the historical process is still in the Ming Dynasty, the reality is a treacherous and changeable fantasy world.

The towering tree can actually talk, has feelings, and can be cultivated to become a master.

Soldiers on the battlefield can be formed from scattered beans into soldiers, with explosive combat power and a speed comparable to that of a galloping horse

In the two hundred years of spring and autumn, celebrities came forth in large numbers, shining like stars, there were a hundred schools of thought contending, refined scholars were romantic, eminent monks set up altars, real people preached, Confucian saints subdue demons, and war gods showed their power

Chapter 945 The Dynamite Workshop in Shanglin Garden ([-]rd update)

It was a sunny morning. On this day, Zhao Dan's Wang Jia came to Shanglinyuan, the territory of the Shaofu outside Handan City.

Shaofu, this is an institution newly established by Zhao Dan.It is basically the same as the Shaofu in the Han Dynasty, it is an institution dedicated to Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, and dedicated to serving Zhao Dan and the palace.

Starting from this year, Zhao's tax revenue will be divided into two parts, one tenth of which will be included in the Shaofu as a special fund for the Shaofu.

Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng was the first to question this point.

Not because there are too many, but because there are too few.

You must know that according to the charter presented by Zhao Dan, this young mansion will not only be responsible for the operation of thousands of people in Zhao Wang's palace, but also the money needed for Zhao Dan's various activities, and the expenses of concubines and wives. Daily necessities, even Zhao Dan's extra rewards to the soldiers who went on an expedition, etc., all had to come from the Shaofu.

Zhao Sheng has been the Prime Minister for so many years, and he still has a clear concept of these fees in his heart.

Just one tenth of the tax, is it enough?

However, after learning that Zhao Dan plans to include several newly built smelters in Nanyang County, several coal mines in the north, and many horse farms on the grassland, etc., as the property of the Shaofu, Zhao Sheng finally decided Take it easy.

After all, if Zhao Dan has no money to use, the treasury must also pay. If the treasury always allocates funds because the Shaofu has no money, it will easily disrupt the normal operation of the treasury.

If this is the case, it is better not to divide this Shaofu.
