Volume 9 Chapter 111 The Gift of the Nine Servants
Meng Jia's deeds in Xianyang, Ying Zheng knows it clearly, although this person is a little greedy for money, but it is very comfortable to use.
The water is clear and there are no fish, as the king of Qin, Yingzheng has long passed the age of youth. With all these years of experience, after being the king of Qin for so long, Yingzheng knows how to employ people.
There are some things that Yingzheng doesn't bother to do, so let those villains do it, even if someone investigates it afterwards, they won't say that King Qin did anything wrong, all the black pots have those people to carry them, stay out of the matter, and watch the play happily.
Originally, Feng Quji should have been asked to do these things, but Feng Qujian was too upright, not that he was afraid of offending people, but that there were some things he couldn't do at all. For example, if you negotiate with Jing Ke and find out Jing Ke's intentions, Feng Quji can't do it, and if you want to investigate whether Jing Ke is meticulous, it will be troublesome.
No matter what Jing Ke's purpose was in Qin, it was impossible for Yingzheng to let him go back. Trap Jing Ke in Xianyang, and wait until the Central Plains are unified, at least Yishui will be easy to control. Ying Zheng thinks very far-reachingly, after the reunification of the Central Plains, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and those civil forces must be unarmed, at least assassinations and other things must be appropriately reduced.
There are so many assassins in the world, and there are so many training camps, just to make a living. In the troubled times, there are too many disputes, and Ying Zheng himself was born in the training camp, and the cruel Ying Zheng there knows better than anyone. Human life is like a mustard, and hundreds of people fight for their lives for a poke of food.
Every time he recalls his past, Ying Zheng can wake up from a nightmare, and he must cancel the existence of the training camp. All the forces in the Central Plains have training camps, and among these forces, only Guigu is the best.
There is only one training camp in Guigu, that is, the mountain gate of Guigu, and the people there are maintained by brotherhood, and it will not be as cruel as other training camps. But Wang Heng also said frankly to Ying Zheng, even if the three major forces will listen to you, you can't cancel the training camp.
The reason is very simple, as long as the Central Plains is not unified, there will be disputes. The reason why there is only one training camp in Guigu is because there are very few people in Guigu, and there are tens of thousands of people in other forces, if there is no training camp, what will many people eat? If training camps are banned, then those orphans who were exiled in the war, who will adopt? Although the training camp is cruel, it is also a way to survive, and at least it can feed many orphans.
The nations fought every year, and there were too many orphans in exile, and few powerful people adopted them. The only people who can adopt those orphans are training camps and some powerful people. The Assassins who came out of the training camp were all dead soldiers, and the Assassins had to live on the knife just for their livelihood, at least they had freedom, and the dead soldiers not only lost their humanity, but even their freedom was not guaranteed, so why ban it?
In the training camp, at least you can still see hope, if you don't do that, you may die. No country can help so many orphans, in the troubled times, everyone is just to survive, unless the world is unified, there is no war, and there must be a strong monarch to ban the training camp, everyone can see hope. These things can't be done if you want to do them for the time being, because there is still a war in the Central Plains.
After the war, countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and only orphans and widows were left at home, how could those people survive? A family without a male child is difficult to survive in the troubled times, even if it is a ghost valley, you have to make a plausible training camp at home, otherwise how can others agree that you are the number one force in the world.
Ying Zheng deeply felt the same way as Wang Heng said these words, and wanted to ban the training camp, at least to give others a hope. Take Leng Yue and the Mo family as examples, Leng Yue gradually developed to the upper level under the leadership of Min Dai, but Leng Yue was too poor to help too many orphans after all, so she could only adopt the training camp elimination system to adopt, otherwise she would not be able to give so much food for the children to eat.
And the Mo family was even more embarrassed, Hu Ji said to his face, there are the most ink people in the world, and the number of people added up is hundreds of thousands, and most of them were born in training camps. If there is no training camp, tens of thousands of orphans would starve to death every year, who would dare to bear this infamy?
War, Yingzheng is also very helpless, there is no unified centralized power, there is no unified royal family, the war will not stop, this is the fundamental reason. If you want to ban training camps, you must cut them off at the source, and you must unify the world. This is the main premise, without this premise, saying that everything else is empty, even if Yingzheng resolutely does it, others will not agree.
When Meng Jia walked into the ranch tent and saw Ying Zheng's contemplative appearance, he didn't dare to disturb, and stood quietly below, waiting for Ying Zheng to finish thinking about things.
In front of Yingzheng, Meng Jia seemed very well-behaved, because he knew when to speak and when to be silent. Only by figuring out the monarch's mind can you gain favor. Meng Jia himself knows that his power is all given to him by Yingzheng. And what he has to do is to go against Li Si, Yao Jia and others, as long as there is King Qin to protect him, he is not afraid of offending anyone, and he can get a lot of wealth.
Ying Zheng smiled casually: "I'm in such a hurry, I should have good news to tell me." ”
Meng Jia saluted and said happily: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, Jing Ke finally let go." Jing Ke entered Qin, not only wanted to become the king's courtier, but also brought a treasure to the king. That treasure can definitely strengthen my Great Qin's national strength. ”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "There are really treasures, I thought Jing Ke was just talking casually, come and tell this king, what kind of treasure it is." ”
Meng Jia said: "Governor Kang map." ”
Ying Zheng stood up abruptly and said in surprise: "Du Kang is the richest place in Yan Country, and half of Yan Kingdom's taxes come from there, if it is really Du Kang's map, it will be too beneficial to my Great Qin." The reason why my Great Qin hesitated to attack Yan was mainly because he was not familiar with the land of Du Kang, for fear that the war would cause damage to the people's livelihood there. ”
Meng Jia smiled: "Please don't worry, please listen to me." ”
Ying Zheng sat down at this time, and said with satisfaction: "This king is indeed in a hurry, this time is good, if you really get the map of Du Kang, except for Jing Ke himself, you can be regarded as making a contribution to my Great Qin." ”
Meng Jiayan said: "After Jing Ke said this, the subordinates hurriedly came to tell the king about it, and at the same time, they also brought Jing Ke a request. ”
Ying Zheng asked: "As long as Jing Ke really brings the map of Du Kang, as long as this king can call the shots, any request can be granted." ”
Meng Jia thought for a while, and still said: "This request may be difficult, or it may be simple, Jing Ke said, he wants to meet my king in the shortest possible time, and he will have the specifications of the Nine Gifts to meet him." ”
Ying Zheng was stunned, the ceremony of the Nine Mansions was originally a special ceremony for the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty to receive the princes of the world, and it was the most solemn etiquette for receiving the princes. Zhou Tianzi according to his relatives, respectively gave the princes and kings different titles, the titles are divided into duke, marquis, uncle, son, male five and so on, the princes of the domestic official positions are divided into three classes: secretary, doctor, scholar, the princes and monarchs call themselves "lonely". The "Gong, Hou, Uncle, Son, Male, Lonely, Qing, Doctor, and Shi" together are called "Jiuyi" or "Jiubin".
The Central Plains has not yet been unified, and the use of the specifications of the Nine Rites of Honor is something that only emperors can do, and if they do it now, they are a little covetous. It's nothing to get there, but how can the royal family explain it? Jing Ke's request really gave him a problem.
Ying Zheng asked: "As the secretary of Jing Ke Yan State, he represents the King of Yan, and it is okay to use the gift book of the Nine Mansions, but the Central Plains has not yet been unified, and if this set of etiquette is used too early, the old man of the royal family will gossip about the king." If you continue, Jing Ke should have something else to say, otherwise it would be impossible for him to come up with this problem in order to see the king. ”
When Meng Jia came, he had already prepared his words, and naturally answered them fluently, and said the original meaning of what Jing Ke said, which was originally unmoving.
There are three main reasons for Jing Ke's request: First, the general trend of the world must be the unification of the Central Plains by the Qin State, and no one can change it. It is logical to unify the Central Plains and become an emperor. But if you want to become an emperor, you must at least have an introduction, use the gift of the nine gods, and tell the world in a different direction that King Qin has the determination to become an emperor, and only such a bold person can achieve the dignity of the emperor, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.
Second, to obtain the map of the governor with the gift of the Nine Mansions, it can be more valued by the Yan people, and in the future battle of Qin and Yan, the people of the Yan Kingdom can calmly accept to become the people of the King of Qin. With this map, together with the war, the Yan people know the mind of the King of Qin, and they will know where they are safe and where they are not, so as to win the hearts of the people.
Third, the reason why it is necessary to propose the standard reception of the gift of the Nine Servants is mainly to block other mouths. When I came, I heard that many people were maliciously slandered behind their backs, saying that Jing Ke entered Qin to assassinate the king of Qin. Then I, Jing Ke, will let the King of Qin receive you with the specifications of the Nine Graces, and when the time comes, no one in Zhangtai Palace will bring weapons to the palace, and everyone will be in full view, will I be able to kill you empty-handed? Don't talk about others, even I, Jing Ke myself, don't believe it.
Hearing Jing Ke's three reasons, Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Zhongli had put too much pressure on him, and it really scared him. At least Ying Zheng didn't believe it, with his own strength, in the case that Jing Ke had no weapons, he could completely protect himself one-on-one, and Jing Ke couldn't kill himself at all.
Since it is the gift of the Nine Mansions, the envoy team of the Yan Kingdom will search their bodies in advance when they go to the palace, and it is impossible to let anyone enter the Zhangtai Palace with weapons. And he will only let Jing Ke get close to him alone, and present the map of Du Kang in front of him, even if Jing Ke really has a bad heart, with his peak internal strength, he can calmly deal with it within thirty moves, and he will be afraid of his assassination?
At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are in the palace, if Jing Ke dares to assassinate, he will not make a move, once he makes a move, the ministers will inevitably rush forward and surround him on the main hall.
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "Go back and tell Jing Ke that tomorrow at noon, this king will receive him in Zhangtai Palace with the gift of nine maids." Let him prepare the treasure, and if the king does not see the map of the governor, he will be punished for a great sin of disrespect. ”
Meng Jia led the order to retreat, and Zhongli next to him said coldly: "It's actually the map of Du Kang, and he also uses the gift of the Nine Servants to receive him, Jing Ke is too careful." ”
Ying Zheng smiled: "Can you do it if you are not careful?" Not only did my Xiao Zhong want to kill him, but Xiao Xi, Hu Er and others in Zhongnan Mountain also wanted to kill him, if it were me, I would be afraid. Fortunately, Xiao Zhong didn't kill him in advance, otherwise how would we have been able to obtain the map of Du Kang? ”
Zhongli frowned and said: "With such a courtesy reception, Jing Ke has no chance to assassinate at all, even if I am not by the side of the son, Jing Ke will not be able to do it, because his strength is not enough." But I always feel that something is wrong, Dawn's divination has always worked, is it wrong? No, I'll have to send her a message right away and ask what Zhongnanshan thinks. ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "The ghosts and gods say, if you believe it, you will be spiritual, and if you don't believe it, you won't be spiritual, Xiao Zhong should not ask, lest some people have to be suspicious again." ”
"In fact, it is not a good thing to use the gift of the Nine Mansions. Our biggest opponents now are still those worshippers, and the game with the offerings has just begun. With the reception of the Nine Graces, you can also explore the bottom line of the royal family, looking at the Central Plains, who is my opponent? ”
"On this battlefield, it's all about fists. Others don't dare to use it, but I do, how can they tolerate me? Don't make a public announcement about this matter for the time being, lest the maid be unhappy when she hears it, after all, she is the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, as long as she does it in advance, she will have some complaints at most, and it will be fine if she is angry. ”
Zhongli nodded, still indifferent on the surface, but happy in his heart. In Ying Zheng's eyes, what he cares about is his own woman, and what royal family and what worshippers are not as important as his own women.
Ying Zheng's attitude towards his own woman, Ah Fang Nu is like this, why not herself. Thinking about this link clearly, Zhongli didn't think much about it, it was late at night, serving Yingzheng to sleep, and walking around the ranch casually, thinking about what opponents there were to deal with.
