The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 591: Four Princes Are Not Simple

Mo Liangchen nodded, and continued: "Speaking of the secrets of the four sons of Emperor Qin, the biggest thing is that they all covet the throne. It goes without saying that Qin Su is the crown prince. King Xiang, King Zhuang and King Ying are all blatantly coveting the throne. Everyone knows that even the Qin Emperor can only deter, but cannot stop. After all, this is related to the enfeoffment system of the Qin State. The three princes' fiefdoms are too large, and they all support themselves. The Qin Emperor has to use their strength. I couldn't bear to abolish it, so it caused the current situation."

"Your Highness, how can Da Xia want to destroy the Qin State as quickly as possible? The best way is to kill the Qin Emperor. The Qin State will be chaotic if the four sons compete for the throne, but it is also extremely difficult. Since Zhao Huang was assassinated and died, Qin Huang Yue Be more cautious and careful. Whether it is discussing politics in the early court or receiving ministers, they are all five feet away from him, and there are two sixth-rank masters around him to protect them. The food is checked at every level. And even the harem is rarely set foot. If you want to pamper any beauty, you should take off your clothes and jewelry, trim your nails, check your mouth, wrap it in a blanket, and send it directly to Emperor Qin’s bedroom. Relying on such strict and thorough protection to ensure your own safety.”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Qin Huang is old, afraid of death, he became frightened, afraid that Da Xia's explosives would be sent into his harem to blow him up. Indeed, killing him is the fastest way to destroy Qin, but the method uses two methods. This time is a stupid way, so I can only start from other aspects, you continue to talk."

Mo Liangchen continued: "The crown prince is the eldest son. He was established as the crown prince at the age of twelve. As I said just now, he is prudent and courteous. He is a suitable crown prince in the eyes of the people, but Qin Huang feels that he lacks murderous spirit. Strict criminal law governs the country, and legalism is the mainstream. Now the prime minister of Qin, Li Si, is the inheritance of legalism. As for the prince, he just respects Confucianism, which is inconsistent with the ideas of many officials. Moreover, the Qin prince and prime minister Li Si are at odds. There is a grievance in it. When Li Sichu was the prime minister, when he enforced the criminal law in Qin State, in order to publicize the strictness of the criminal law, he killed chickens to warn monkeys, and he killed the queen's brother. Of course, it was the queen's brother who committed crimes and angered Qin Huang. , so he also got Qin Huang's tacit approval. Therefore, because of this matter, the crown prince has a lot of resentment towards Li Si."

"Prime Minister Li Si is very powerful, one person is under ten thousand, and there are many disciples and factions. The prince resents him. Naturally, he will not support the prince's succession, so the cunning Li Si befriends the other three princes! Both sides have the same situation!"

Xiao Rui knew that the next step was the key point.

Emperor Qin is old, and Li Si and the crown prince are at odds, so he has to choose a prince.

Therefore, when Li Si has both sides, there must be one that he fully supports!

"Who is Li Si really supporting?" Xiao Rui asked.

This was a very secret matter, and the people Xiao Rui sent to Qin State could not find out. Although Chuan Jianguo was the servant of the household department, there was nothing to investigate. He was an outsider after all.

Is it Xiang Wang Qin Yu who supports all-round talent in civil and military affairs, or Zhuang Wang Qin Xiang who is deeper in the city, or the youngest but most decisive winner Qin Zheng?

The unique characteristics of the three princes are all between brothers. As the prime minister, Li Si will definitely choose carefully, because his choice will shift the balance.

Mo Liangchen said: "Your Highness, our Mo organization is under the command of Emperor Qin, but the person who actually arranged the action is Li Si. Working under him and being his secret knife, naturally he also found out some unknown secrets. Not familiar with Li Si Those who know Li Si think that he has the right and wrong, and those who know Li Si think that he supports King Xiang Qin Yu, because Li Si's first wife and King Xiang's mother and concubine are cousins, and Li Si does value King Xiang more. But as a substitute for him The killing knife, I feel that Li Si is not supporting King Xiang sincerely, but his scheme!"

Xiao Rui smiled immediately.

As the prime minister, Li Si, supporting any prince will strengthen the prince's strength, but it will also become the target of beatings. Xiao Rui must not show his attitude. Unless it is intentional, it is to find a shield.

So Mo Liangchen's suspicion is probably right. Li Si's pretending to support King Xiang is more of a way to attract firepower and protect the actual supporters.

The remaining two, Zhuang Wang and Ying Wang, who will be Li Si's actual supporters?

Mo Liangchen also expressed his conjecture: "King Zhuang and Qin Xiangshan are suspicious, the city is deep, and Li Si's city is deep enough. If two people are together, the monarch and his subjects are suspicious of each other, Li Si will not do such a stupid thing! Finally Only Ying Wang Qinzheng is left. Although Ying Wang is the youngest, his decisiveness in killing is very similar to that of the Qin Emperor, and he despises Confucianism and supports the law. After the Zhao Kingdom was destroyed, the Qin Emperor treated the Confucian orthodox Confucianism with respect. Even the prince, who is keen on Confucianism, recommended the head of the Confucian family as the Taifu, and King Ying wrote a letter, suggesting that the Confucian family should be driven out of the scope of Qin State, which shows the attitude of King Ying."

Xiao Rui nodded, suddenly thought of another matter, and asked, "I heard that Emperor Qin sent King Ying to govern the sixteen counties of Old Zhao. What's the point here?"

Mo Liangchen said: "I've also heard about this matter. Before we came, the Qin Emperor was angry at the governance of the sixteen counties. He scolded the officials for their money. There is no way. Who told Daxia to govern the fourteen prefectures of Anxi too much?" Prosperous and too peaceful, Qin Huang, who likes to compare, was naturally slapped in the face. Therefore, Li Si suggested afterwards that the law should be used in disorderly places, and suggested that a prince should be sent to do this on behalf of His Majesty, so as to deter the traitors. Qin Huang After agreeing, he asked Li Si if he had any candidates to recommend, and Li Si recommended King Xiang, thinking that he is capable of both civil and military skills, courageous and resourceful, and he will definitely be able to complete this great task!"

"The emperor of Qin didn't agree on the spot, but after the news spread, the crown prince, king Zhuang, and king Ying opposed it with all their strength. The sixteen counties of old Zhao are fragrant. Whoever governs them will gain control over them. Who will He gave up this opportunity to expand his strength, so after a lot of open and secret fighting, Qin Huang suddenly held a test to see how the four of them would govern after they went there. Obviously, the answer to win the king was most recognized by Qin Huang, so There is a follow-up."

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It seems that there is indeed something tricky between King Qinzheng and Li Si, and the recommendation of King Xiang is also deliberately supporting King Xiang to attract attack power. And if King Qinzheng can win the test, he must have done his homework in advance and thought about governance plan."

"And this Qin Zheng is not simple. After arriving in the sixteenth counties, he relocated the Qin people, intermarried, and relocated the old people of the Zhao country, and encircled and suppressed the rebels in the Zhao country. Expert advice."

Da Xia and Qin State divided the territory of Zhao State equally. After Zhao State was destroyed, rebels naturally rebelled in the old Zhao land, trying to restore Zhao State.

On Daxia's side, it took more than two years to completely settle Zhao's land. First, the Daxia court treated the people well enough, cutting taxes, reducing corvees, giving land, and giving new crops. Could it be that life is not going well in the country, and it has changed back to the hunger and cold it once was?

What's more, the future emperor of this land is half a Zhao countryman!

Xiao Rui has the blood of the royal family of the Zhao country, and has the blood of the Zhao country. Don't underestimate this identity. It has a powerful effect and good publicity, and instantly wins the hearts of the old people of the Zhao country.

Of course, to deal with those determined traitors, kill them without mercy and punish the three clans. Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin were not idle in Anxi Fourteen Prefectures and killed many rebels.

So, since Great Xia can do it, why can't Qin State do it?

First of all, Qin State broke through the imperial capital of Zhao State and forced Zhao Huang to hang himself. It was Qin State that destroyed Zhao State, not Daxia.

Secondly, they lack a prince with the blood of Zhao to appease the people!

Furthermore, at the beginning, the attitude towards the old people of the Zhao state was relatively tough, thinking that they were the people of the subjugated country, and did not give them better policies.

There are also many reasons that led to the emergence of rebels in the sixteen counties occupied by the Qin State, holding high the slogan of restoring the country, and the people feel uncomfortable, so they will naturally help their compatriots.

Therefore, if Daqin wanted to settle this area as soon as possible, he could not learn from Daxia, and had to advance both rigidity and softness. Now the iron strategy for winning King Qinzheng is to be soft when you want to be soft, and be tough when you want to be hard. Although the rebels may counterattack, but with the support of 600,000 troops, the rebels can't make any waves at all.

As long as the traitors are wiped out, the common people will naturally submit.

Back on topic.

If the person Li Si actually supports is King Qinzheng, then it is not certain who will get the throne.

Xiao Rui asked again: "By the way, what about the Bai and Meng families in Qin State?"

The two pillars of Qin State's protection of the country, and they are the families of military generals, the Bai family and the Meng family.

Mo Liangchen said: "The Bai family and the Meng family have strict rules, they are only loyal to His Majesty, they are close to the prince, and they will never participate in the battle for the heir apparent. This is also the guarantee that these two families will not survive for a long time."

"It used to be like this, but now it seems that something has changed, such as Bai Meng." Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Mo Liangchen was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

Xiao Rui said: "Since they are the two major pillars of the Qin Kingdom, it is not a means for the Qin Emperor to check and balance each other, but the bond between the two marriages of Baimeng has won the attention of His Majesty Qin Huang, you don't think there is a problem ?"

The current Xiao Rui is no different from the emperor, so he looks at things out of the circle of the past.

Mo Liangchen was taken aback for a moment, and after recalling it carefully, he hurriedly said: "I really feel something is wrong when your Highness said this. Bai and Meng have never been married before, and it is impossible for the two of them not to know the pros and cons of it. How could they suddenly get married?" What? Bai Meng's parents died young, so it's really difficult to investigate the secrets of the past."

"Emotional matters cannot be controlled. It may not be a conspiracy for Bai Meng's parents to love each other, but it is Qin Huang's plan to reuse Bai Meng. When you return to Qin, I will check the doorway for this palace. I always feel that there is a big problem. Conspiracy!" Xiao Rui said.

Mo Liangchen responded: "Your Highness understands!"

Xiao Rui asked again: "Are there any other secrets?"

Mo Liangchen shook his head.

At this time, Mo Zhan on the side smiled and said, "Uncle, why don't you talk about Emperor Qin's harem? Your Highness is definitely interested!"

Xiao Rui was depressed, what do these words mean, what do you mean you are interested.
