Chapter 98 The Intrigue of Qin State Politics

Xianyang.

With a bang, the King of Qin threw the table.

"Incompetence is simply a shame to the Qin Dynasty!"

In the face of the anger of the King of Qin, many Qin ministers bowed their heads, and no one dared to breathe heavily.

Xincheng Jun Mi Rong sat nearest to the King of Qin, with an ugly face and a secret complaint in her heart.

Brother, brother, why did you call Le Yi, who is unknown, and you still make it like this?

Although they are not the same father, Mi Rong and Wei Ran are the same mother, and they are both politically ally.

So when Wei Ran was defeated, Mi Rong was under great pressure.

Mi Rong quietly looked up at the angry King of Qin, and sighed in his heart.

King... This is taking advantage of the issue.

The better the king now is, the harder it is to control.

Yes, control.

The political situation in Qin State is actually very complicated.

Back then, King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, was quite pretentious and went to Luoyi to raise a large tripod that symbolized the luck of the Zhou Dynasty, and then the big tripod broke its tibia and died.

Subsequently, King Wu of Qin's biological mother, also the Empress Dowager of Qin at that time, wanted to establish another son, King Wu of Qin's biological brother, and the then Zuo Shuchang Yingzhuang succeeded to the throne.

However, the Chu faction, which was suppressed so much that it was so angry that it was in the time of King Wu of Qin, also launched a counterattack.

They supported "our own people", the son of Mi Bazi from Chu, and Ying Ji, the half-brother of King Wu of Qin.

Ying Zhuang and Ying Ji have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Ying Zhuangsheng was because his brother was the king and his mother was the queen mother, who was "orthodox" and received support from most local Qin factions and the empress dowager's mother's family, Wei.

However, although the Chu faction that supported Yingji was weak, it was supported by the three powerful countries of the Chu Kingdom, which were supported by Mi Bazi's grandfather, as well as the Zhao Kingdom and Yingji.

Zhao Zhufu even sent minister Zhao Gu to lead his army to Yan State to escort Yingji back to Xianyang to fight for the throne.

Yingji and Yingzhuang each called themselves kings, and the strange scene of two kings standing together appeared in Qin State.

In general, the power to support Yingji is stronger, and the winning side is gradually losing.

Then, Mi Bazi used his body as a weapon to win the support of King Yiqiu.

Finally, after a year of confrontation, Yingji successfully killed his half-brother Ying Zhuang and became king.

Since Yingji was completely employed in the upper throne, it was quite embarrassing when he first ascended the throne.

His mother, Mi Bazi, was the Queen Mother Xuan, who was in charge of the court when Yingji first ascended the throne, was basically a marionette.

Later, Empress Dowager Xuan was so angry that she was so powerful that she turned aside from the government affairs and went to have a relationship with King Yiqu and raised her baby by the way. Later, she gave birth to two younger brothers for Yingji.

Without Queen Mother Xuan, Yingji still did not get the power.

Next, Wei Ran and Mi Rong, the younger brothers of the two Queen Mother Xuan, and Gan Mao, the leaders of the three major Chu factions controlled the government.

For a long time, Wei Ran, Marquis of Rang, Mi Rong, Junior Xincheng, Ying Fu, Junior Jingyang (second brother of King Qin), and Ying Ju, Gaoling (third brother of King Qin), were known as the "Four nobles of Qin".

If a foreign envoy came to Qin and had no four nobles nodded, he would not have done anything.

King Yingji of Qin was actually equivalent to being undermined.

If someone else comes, they may be defeated in this life, or even be destroyed in a few years, and it is possible to be killed.

But Yingji is different.

After all, he was the famous King Zhaoxiang of Qin in history. He brought Qin from a powerful country to the overlord, won the Battle of Changping, and laid the foundation for the unification of Qin.

In order to regain power, this shrewd king made his own counterattack calmly.

How to fight back?

First, the King of Qin immediately took advantage of the power of Zhao and Yan to protect Chuliji, the local minister and leader of the Qin State who was named neutral when he was fighting for the throne, but actually tended to win the battle, shook hands with the local Qin State who stood opposite him when he seized the throne.

With the help of Chu Liji, Gan Mao, the important minister of the Chu faction who was the right prime minister of Qin at the time, was expelled from Qin that year, and the power of the Chu faction suffered considerable losses.

This is just the beginning.

Are you not all the people in the Chu State faction? Isn’t there Chu State as a foreign aid?

Then I will beat you Chu State!

After several years of alliances and alliances, the King of Qin seized the opportunity to unite with the three kingdoms of Qi, Han and Wei, and defeated the Chu State in the Battle of Chuisha.

With the help of the remaining power of the Battle of Chusha, the King of Qin ordered the Xincheng Jun Mi Rong to lead his army to attack Chu State, killing Jing Que, the leader of the Jing clan among the three major families of Chu State, which led to the four nobles and Chu State's complete feud.

Next, the King of Qin bravely detained King Huai of Chu who came to discuss peace, and imprisoned King Huai of Chu until his death.

As a result, Qin and Chu became mortal enemies, and Chu was beaten by Qin and fell from the position of hegemony to a second-rate country. Wei Ran and Mi Rong and other "Chu factions" ministers of Qin also completely lost Chu as a foreign aid.

Unfortunately, when the King of Qin was about to turn over, his biggest political ally, Leliji, was at this time and died.

The death of Chu Liji directly caused the Chu faction, which was originally in danger, to turn over in an instant.

Although the local sect of Qin State had a famous general like Sima Cuo, Sima Cuo was good at military affairs and had far inferior to those of political struggles. He was not a match for Wei Ran and Mi Rong.

Moreover, Sima Cuo is almost the same age as Chu Liji, so he may not be sure to kick his legs when he will suffocate.

In desperation, the King of Qin once again introduced foreign aid, allowing Zhao's minister Lou Suan to become the prime minister of Qin and use the power of Zhao to fight against Qin.

However, Lou Yan was unable to have enough talent after all. After working for three years, he was completely suppressed by Wei Ran and Mi Rong.

In the end, under the pressure of Wei Ran and Mi Rong, the King of Qin had to kick Lou Yan away, and Wei Ran became the prime minister of Qin.

After Wei Ran took office, the Chu faction once again suppressed the King of Qin who wanted to regain power.

After the battle of Yique, the Chu State's general Bai Qi became famous in one battle, which made the Chu State's power rise and the situation was very good.

It was almost impossible to completely undermine the King of Qin, but an accident happened.

In the battle between Shangjun, Niu Jian and Le Yi defeated Wei Ran. Not only was Wei Ran forced to resign, but the power of the Chu faction also frustrated.

As a result, in this second battle in the county, Le Yi defeated Wei Ran, who had just returned to the court.

One failure will certainly not affect the overall situation, but two consecutive defeats will be different.

If the battle at Yique just ended, the King of Qin dared to roar like this and accuse Wei Ran and Chu factions?

This is the moment, that is the moment.

After two major defeats, the Chu faction was really hurt.

Thinking of this, Mi Rong was very angry.

This damn Le Yi, the damn Zhao people!

By the way, there is the damn King Zhao!

In the final analysis, if King Zhao had not appointed Le Yi, Daqin would not have had so many troubles!

Taking advantage of the Qin King's scolding and breathing, Mi Rong also stood up.

But it is not the same thing to always be scolded by the King of Qin, who pointed at the nose like this.

After all, the Chu faction has been the largest sect in the Qin court for so many years. It is not like you can control the Qin King after two defeats?

Mi Rong said seriously: "King, although the defeat in Shangjun cannot be restored, the most urgent task should be to ensure that General Bai Qi's attack on Hedong County will not be affected. Once Hedong is taken down, even if there is a slight loss in Shangjun, it will have nothing to do with the overall situation."

Mi Rong said this, on the one hand, to divert attention, and on the other hand, it also implicitly reminded the King of Qin and all the ministers here that our Chu State general Bai Qi was still conquering the city and territory for the Qin Dynasty in Hedong County.

The King of Qin looked at Mi Rong, and the lord and his ministers looked at each other in the air.

A moment later, the King of Qin spoke, "I heard that the King of Qi had cancelled the imperial title a few days ago."

Mi Rong said: "Yes."

The King of Qin said: "That I am going to have the imperial title too. Otherwise, when the princes attacked Qin, there would be another crime."

Mi Rong hesitated for a moment and said, "Here."

The King of Qin said again: "Now Shangjun has been lost and Xihe County has empty troops. If Le Yi goes south to Xihe County, General Bai Qi's retreat will be cut off. This matter must be guarded against."

Mi Rong said: "Yes."

The King of Qin said: "So, let General Bai Qi withdraw his troops."

Mi Rong's body was shocked and he raised his head incredibly: "What did the king say?"

The King of Qin emphasized his tone and said, "Let General Bai Qi withdraw his troops."

Mi Rong took a deep breath and said, "King, it is the national policy to capture Hedong. The king also agreed before, why did he want Bai Qi to withdraw his troops at this moment?"

The King of Qin showed an impatient anger: "Then I asked you, who will stop Le Yi from going south to Xihe County! If your Xincheng Lord does not agree with this matter, then I have to wait until Marquis Rang returns and discuss this matter with my prime minister!"

The King of Qin took the five words "My People's Conquest" very seriously.

Mi Rong's face was gloomy and changed a little.

After a while, Mi Rong finally couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, I think General Bai Qi should not withdraw his troops directly back to Xianyang, but should lead his troops north and recover Shangjun!"

This time, it was the King of Qin’s turn to hesitate.

After a while, the King of Qin said coldly: "That's great! Just order it like this."

Mi Rong bowed and said, "Here."

Mi Rong raised his head and happened to meet the gaze of the King of Qin.

There was no warmth in the eyes of the king and minister, nephew and uncle.
