Inside Gan Long’s Mansion
Du Zhi came to Gan Long’s Mansion. Gan Long’s housekeeper bowed and whispered, “Sir, please follow me!”
Du Zhi followed Gan Long’s housekeeper to a secret room and said, “Sir, the master is waiting for you inside.”
Du Zhi walked in. The housekeeper was standing nearby. As soon as Du Zhi saw Gan Long, he complained, “Teacher, now that Wei Yang has been made a lord, it will become increasingly difficult for us to overthrow the new law and kill Wei Yang!”
Gan Long glanced at Du Zhi and ignored him as he continued to read the book in his hand. Du Zhi continued, “Teacher, don’t you want to kill Wei Yang and depose him?” New law?"
Gan Long walked in with his head raised and put the bamboo slips aside, saying: "Let's drink first, then talk about things."
Du Zhi picked up a cup and drank it all in one gulp, and said with a hint of drunkenness: "Teacher, you often tell me about the way of Yao and Shun. Now Wei Yang not only uses harsh criminal laws to manage the people, but also excludes dissidents. There are dozens of doctors who died in his hands! Teacher, if we don't take action, I'm afraid we will be in danger!"
Du Zhi took another sip of wine and said unconvinced: "What strategy does Wei Yang know? Occupying the land of Shangyu was just a fluke success by taking advantage of the fact that Chu was defenseless. "

Gan Long agreed and said: "Yes, this is called taking credit for what others have done. People like him will never correctly estimate themselves."
Seeing that Du Zhi's emotions had calmed down, Gan Long said meaningfully: "I like to study the Book of Changes. Judging from the changes in the Yi Xiang, when his luck reaches its peak, it is the beginning of his bad luck. This is called 'prosperity and decline'. Now he has responded to the ninth and fifth line of the Qian Gua, 'the flying dragon ascends to the sky', and the next line should be the ninth line, 'the arrogant dragon is insulted'."
When Du Zhi heard this, he said happily: "Teacher, you have a deep insight. This kind of person will not be able to survive until he falls from the sky and is smashed to pieces. I don't know what regret is." Gan Long said again: "I want to kill Shang Yang, but we may not be able to do it by relying on the royal family alone. We also need to have military power in our hands. Ying Qian has a high reputation in the army. He had his nose cut off by Shang Yang for no reason. He has long resented Shang Yang, so we have to unite with him. Not only that, we also have to unite the power of the Ying clan. The chief of the clan Ying Wu has a high reputation in the Ying clan. If we unite with him, our success will be higher! You will go to see them today!" Gan Long thought.
Ying Qian Mansion
Du Zhi came to the outside of Ying Qian Mansion, looked around, and found no one, so he knocked on the door gently. A housekeeper opened the door a crack and said, "The master of the house does not see guests, please go back!"
"Hey! Wait a minute, don't close the door! Please tell Doctor Ying Qian that you can say that Du Zhi, the disciple of Doctor Gan Long, wants to see you. Please inform him." Du Zhi stopped him.
The housekeeper replied, "Okay, then you wait a minute."
Ying Qian has never been to the court since his nose was cut off. He never goes out all day and wears a mask every day. Ying Qian flips through the book in his hand and mutters to himself, "Shang Yang, Shang Yang, if you don't readYour book really doesn't know you are such a person!"
"Master, Du Zhi, a disciple of the senior doctor Gan Long, wants to see you."
"It's him, please let him in."
Du Zhi walked in and saw Ying Qian playing the piano alone, and bowed and said, "Meet the Grand Tutor."
"Du Zhi, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ying Qian asked helplessly.
Du Zhi was about to say directly that Shang Yang had evil intentions, but then he thought of Ying Qian's support for Shang Yang's reforms before, so he asked carefully, "Excuse me, what do you think of Shang Yang?"
"He is a heartless, unrighteous, unkind, unfilial, and unloyal person!" Ying Qian replied.
"Why? ”
“Heavy punishment for minor crimes is ruthless; those who helped him are not only ungrateful but also harm others, which is unrighteous; when there was a fight, even an 80-year-old man was not spared and exiled together! Whether the people opposed or supported him, they were killed together, which is inhumane; his mother was in Wei State, and he is now the prime minister in Qin State, but he did not bring his mother to enjoy the good life, which is unfilial; he was originally a county magistrate in Wei State, and he rebelled against his country for glory and wealth, which is disloyal. Such people may be powerful for a while, but they will surely perish in the future!” Ying Qian said resentfully.
Du Zhi continued to ask: “Sir, now that Shang Yang has punished you, what do you think of the monarch and Shang Yang? ”
“If Shang Yang dies first, I will also take revenge on Ying Quliang. He always said that brotherhood is higher than heaven, but he cut off my nose for Shang Yang. You should know that I supported him to become the king. If I didn’t support him, I would have been the king! If Ying Quliang dies first, I will kill Shang Yang and abolish the new law!” Ying Qian said with his eyes wide open.
Du Zhi was very happy and said, “I wonder if you are willing to frame Shang Yang with us?”
“Okay! Count me in! Shang Yang must die!”
Ying Wu Mansion
Ying Wu has never been to the court since the incident with his grandson. He has done nothing but grow vegetables and flowers every day.
The second son Ying Da walked in and said, “Father, Lord Du Zhi is here. He said he wants to see you. ”
“Please let him in!”
Du Zhi walked in and bowed, saying, “Greetings, Senior Doctor.”
“Du Zhi, what do you want to see me for?” Ying Wu said, patting his back with his hand.
Du Zhi whispered, “I wonder what Senior Doctor thinks of Shang Yang’s Law?”
“Shang Yang’s Law is nothing but tyranny. The Qin State used Shang Yang, which made it strong for a while but not forever. However, the Qin State does need Shang Yang’s Law now.” Ying Wu sighed.
When Du Zhi heard that Ying Wu had a hint of support for Shang Yang, he made up his mind and said, “Shang Yang, do you think your grandson is wronged?”
“Of course! My grandson just made a small mistake, he just took an orange from the prince, Shang Yang wanted to chop off my grandson's hand, the prince said forget it, he had a good relationship with the prince, but he still didn't give in and chopped off my grandson's hand, he was only 12 years old! "Ying Wu cried.
Du Zhi struck while the iron was hot and said: "Shang Yang, your eldest son just said that Shang Yang's law was too harsh, and Shang Yang was sentenced to death. Shang Yang killed your eldest son and hurt your precious grandson. Don't you want revenge?"
Ying Wu glanced at Du Zhi, sighed, and said: "Okay! I promise you that the Ying family supports you, but you can only kill Shang Yang and not harm the monarch!"
"Okay!"
…… ……
Wei Guo’s court
After reading the secret report, Wei Ling laughed and said, “The Chu State is getting worse and worse. It was defeated by a small Qin State and lost 600 li of territory!”
Prime Minister Hui Shi stood up and said, “Your Majesty, the Chu State lost 600 li of territory. I’m afraid it’s not because Chu State is too weak, but because Qin State has become stronger! Now that Qin State can actually defeat the powerful Chu State, then my Wei State is in danger. My Wei State has occupied so much of Qin State. The land of Qin State has long been a blood feud with Wei State. Now that Qin State has not yet become powerful, we should strangle it in the cradle! "
Pang Juan also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to destroy Qin! I have two steps to destroy Qin. The first step is that I will personally lead 50,000 troops to attack Qin State's Lingyang and cut off the connection between Qin's capital Xianyang and Lantian Camp. The second step is to gather the troops of Guanzhong, Hexi and Hedong counties in the spring of next year to destroy Qin in one battle! "
Everyone Everyone looked at Wei Ling, waiting for his reply. Wei Ling was not excited by Pang Juan's strategy to destroy Qin, but said nonchalantly: "Qin is a poor and weak country. General, there is no need to haggle with Qin. Qin was able to defeat Chu because Chu was unprepared. Now the general's main task is to plan the attack on Zhao."
Wei Ling ordered: "Two years later, the army will attack Zhao!"
"Great!" the crowd shouted.

Zhao State Court
Zhao Yu, the Marquis of Zhao, asked: "Everyone, it's time to attack Yan State, but Yan State has also signed the alliance, but what should I do if I want to attack Yan State?"
Fei Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Yan State has not paid tribute to the Zhou Emperor for hundreds of years, so I always thought that we could discuss with Wei State and attack Yan State together!"
"But will Wei State agree?" Zhao Yu said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Wei State will definitely agree. I am willing to go to Wei State and persuade the King of Wei to attack Yan State together with my Zhao State." Fei Yi said.
"Okay! This matter depends on the military advisor."
