The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Chapter 177

After Wei Yang was appreciated by Ying Quliang, he took the positions of Da Liangzao and Zuo Shuzhang, and began to build a tall mansion. He wore clothes made of silk from Zheng, ate delicacies from Chu and seafood from Qi, looked at beauties from the Three Jins, and used beautiful jade from Song. He went out with 20 carriages and was protected by thousands of soldiers. Every time he went out, it was like marching.

In Wei Yang's mansion, after Wei Yang finished his job as usual, he watched Mei Ji's dance in the hall, drank Zhongshan wine, and ate delicacies from mountains and seas fed by Mei Ji.

Zhao Liang, the lower doctor, didn't know that Wei Yang was busy doing his private affairs, and rushed in in a panic. As soon as he came in, he saw Wei Yang making a move. At this time, Zhao Liang didn't hide or say anything, so he had to stand aside awkwardly.

Wei Yang also noticed Zhao Liang, and pushed Mei Ji away with one hand and asked with a smile: "What is the matter with you, sir?"

Zhao Liang replied: "I came here to persuade you to leave a way out. Now the nobles all over the country hate you very much, and even the people want to peel your skin off, so I came here to persuade you to be more considerate and show some friendship."

Wei Yang did not listen to him at all, but proudly praised his achievements: "In the past, Qin State was still a primitive society like the Hu people, fathers and sons were not separated, men, women, old and young lived together. Now I have changed the education of Qin, making them separate men and women, and building palaces and castles, making Qin like Lu and Wei. Who is more capable, me or Wufu? "

Zhao Liang objected, saying, "Wufu served as the prime minister of Qin for six or seven years, and he promoted virtue in the country, and the Ba State came to pay tribute; he implemented benevolent policies for the princes, and the Rongdi from all directions came to pay homage. When You Yu heard about this, he came to knock on the door and surrender. Wufu served as the prime minister of Qin, and he did not ride in a car when he was tired, and did not hold an umbrella in the hot summer. He traveled all over the country without a car or a car. With armed defense, his achievements are recorded in history books, stored in the treasury, and his virtues are taught to future generations. When Wufu Doctor died, men and women in Qin cried bitterly, and even children stopped singing songs. This is the virtue of Wufu Doctor. How can you compare with Wufu Doctor? "

Although Wei Yang agreed in his heart, he still argued verbally: "At that time, at least I made the country rich and the people did not fight privately. Now the people are honestly farming and weaving!"

Zhao Liang smiled and shook his head and said: "My lord! You rely on harsh punishments to drive the people to farm and weave, and Wufu Doctor uses virtue You made the people willing to follow him to farm and weave. One is forced, the other is voluntary. Don't you reflect on this? You made the country rich, but the people are still poor. "

Wei Yang was unhappy and left. Zhao Liang wanted to keep him and continue to persuade him, but then he thought of Wei Yang, a stubborn fool who couldn't be pulled by eight cows, and sighed in his heart: "This man must be torn to pieces by a chariot!"

Qin State Court

Ying Quliang smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, although our army did not capture a long piece of land when attacking Wei this time, we also3,000 Wei soldiers were beheaded, while our army suffered only a hundred casualties. I think it is time to recover the lost territory! "

Gan Long stepped out and objected: "Your Majesty, now Wei is almost able to destroy Chu. Its military strength is not something that Qin can contend with! I think it is better to develop in a stable manner."

Shi Jiao saw that Ying Quliang did not seem to have changed his mind, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, what the senior official said is very true. The strength of Wei is not something Qin can contend with, but I think we can take the opportunity to attack Chu. For Qin, the most coveted thing about Chu is the Shangyu land. The Shangyu land is 600 miles in radius. If we get this land, it will be easier for us to deal with Chu in the future. We can attack or defend!"

Ying Quliang thought it made sense, so he asked again: "Da Liangzao, what do you think about whether Qin can beat Chu? ”

Wei Yang listened to Zhao Liang's words a few days ago and felt that his position was not strong enough, so he wanted to make his position more solid through military achievements. He stood up and said firmly: "Your Majesty, I think Qin can beat Chu! I am willing to lead the army to capture Shangyu's land."

Du Zhi objected: "Your Majesty, I think we should not attack Chu, but continue to develop our strength. Although Chu was defeated by Wei, its national strength is still very strong. I think we should wait for the opportunity."

Du Zhi was a member of the royal family after all. His opinion directly attracted the support of more than half of the people in the court. Only Wei Yang and Shi Jiao supported it.

Ying Quliang didn't want to offend the royal family too much, so he asked Zhao Liang, who was neutral, "Doctor Zhao Liang, what do you think? ”

As soon as Zhao Liang stood up, Wei Yang's expectant eyes kept staring at Zhao Liang, hoping that he would support him. After all, whether he agreed to this matter or not probably depended on Zhao Liang's words.

As a result, Zhao Liang stood up and said: "I think what Doctor Du Zhi said is very right. It is better to develop."

When Ying Quliang saw that Zhao Liang, who represented the neutrality, also supported the royal family, he could not continue to support Wei Yang's opinion. He could only give Wei Yang an apologetic look and ordered: "Okay, let's continue to develop."

Shang Yang's dilemma was secretly laughed at by Gongsun Jia, who was standing aside. I don't know if it was unintentional or not, so he casually said: "Someone should also remember that we, the royal family, have the final say in the court! "

Wei Yang heard this sentence and remembered Gongsun Jia with hatred in his heart. Suddenly, Shang Yang seemed to think of something and stood up to impeach and said: "Your Majesty, I want to sue someone, and this person is the prince. His Royal Highness the prince openly violated the law. May I ask if Your Majesty should execute it according to the law? Your Majesty, please understand that the law is above everything else, and please act in accordance with the law! If you don't, I'm afraid the people will not be convinced. "

When Ying Quliang heard that his son had violated the law, he really trusted Shang Yang too much and felt that Shang Yang was right, but pretended to plead: "But the prince is the heir to the future monarch. If he is punished, it will be..."

Shang Yang immediately went down the stairs and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is that the prince is the heir to the throne, and it is not appropriate to use the law to punish him. Therefore, the prince's teacher should be punished. The harm is against the law, and it is the teacher's fault. I request that Gongsun Jia be tattooed and Ying Qian be cut off!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Qian jumped up. He did not provoke Wei Yang, and he still supported Wei Yang's reform. He was actually going to execute him. How could he be shot while lying down? Ying Qian's temper came up directly, and he shouted angrily: "Wei Yang! What do you mean! You know that I still support your reform!"

Wei Yang said with a righteous face: "Gongzi Qian, since you also want Qin to be strong, you must follow the law. If you don't give the people an explanation for this matter, will the people believe in the new law? I still believe that Gongzi Qian can put Qin first! Don't be confused by your own selfish interests!"

Ying Qian also panicked and said, "Why don't you cut off one of my hands or one of my feet? Can you not cut my nose?"

Wei Yang kept staring at Ying Qian without saying a word. Ying Qian also understood Wei Yang's thoughts, laughed a few times and left the court.

Ying Quliang wanted to say something good for Ying Qian, but seeing Wei Yang's serious expression, it was not easy to persuade him anymore. He just said, "Let the Great Liangzao handle this matter!" After that, he left. Everyone in the court stared at Wei Yang. If eyes could kill, Wei Yang would have died thousands of times.

Gongsun Jia wanted to ask Ying Quliang for mercy, but when he saw that Ying Quliang didn't care about him, he insulted Wei Yang crazily in front of everyone in the court.

Wei Yang turned a deaf ear to him and instead sent several soldiers to drag Gongsun Jia away. Zhao Liang saw it, but didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that Wei Yang probably wouldn't live long.

…………

Wei Yang sat in the carriage and returned to the mansion under the protection of thousands of soldiers. Just as he passed a turnaround, dozens of masked assassins came out. The soldiers fought with the assassins one after another. Just as the clan gate surrounded the group of assassins, under a roof, a masked man shot an arrow at the carriage Wei Yang was riding in and quickly left.

There was a loud shout from the carriage, and the dozens of assassins also destroyed their faces with swords and committed suicide one after another.

The centurion responsible for protecting Wei Yang hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that Wei Yang was intact, only his left shoulder was pierced by an arrow and it was not serious.

Wei Yang endured the severe pain and asked: "What are the identities of those assassins? Go and see?"

"Sir, they are the Mohist disciples of Qin!" The centurion told Wei Yang after reading it, and handed the Mohist logo to Wei Yang.

Wei Yang looked at the Mohist seal, his eyes flashed a sharp, and his heart was full of anger. He ordered: "Order that no Mohist disciples are allowed in Qin. Once a Mohist disciple is found, he will be killed without mercy! Kill all the Mohist disciples in Qin!"

"Yes!"

…………

"Xiang Liqin, what should we do now? The whole Qin is hunting down the Mohist disciples. WeMore than 300 Mohist disciples have been killed. "

Xiang Liqin was filled with regret. If he had known this, he should have planned more carefully. He didn't expect that he still didn't kill Wei Yang. He looked at the map and thought of a country. He said to the remaining people: "We can go to Wei! I heard that Wei still respects Mohist disciples very much!"

"Okay! ”

Daliang City

After more than a month of long journey, Xiang Liqin’s people finally arrived in Daliang. Now he must find the Mohists living in Wei. Only by finding them can they have a place to stand.

After Xiang Liqin brought people to contact the Mohists in Wei, Wei Mo Master also promised to give them some accommodation so that they can settle down in Wei. Wei Mo Master also knew Xiang Liqin’s talent and decided to recommend him to the prince of Wei.

In the prince’s mansion

Wei Shen is planning a new army, which will become the most powerful spear to unify the world!
