Chapter 270 Discussion in the Court(1/2)

"Interesting, really interesting."

In the main hall of the Wei Palace in Anyi, Wei Marquis Wei Feng's admiration attracted the attention of everyone in the room.

After a while, Wei Feng put down the silk book in his hand and glanced at the courtiers below.

"My lords, do you know where this silk book in my hand comes from?"

After the voice fell, Wei Feng did not wait for the courtiers below to come forward to answer, but gave the answer on his own.

"The copy in my hands comes from the State of Qin. It says that the new Duke of Qin, Ying Quliang, intends to imitate the measures taken by Prime Minister Li Kui of the State of Wei, and use reforms to strengthen the power of the State of Qin."

Wei Feng simply described the content on the silk book in his hand, and the expression on his face changed from a smile just now to a bit solemn at this moment.

Although after these years of hard work, the Qin State today can be said to be completely at a disadvantage in the competition with the Wei State;

But for this opponent located to the west of Wei State, Wei Feng never relaxed at all.

You must know that in his previous life, it was the Qin State that he once underestimated, which dealt him and the Wei State the most painful blow after the Wei State's national power suffered a heavy blow.

The disastrous defeat in Hexi and the unforgettable humiliation of ceding territory and seeking peace are still unforgettable to Wei Feng.

Although the Qin State had already suffered heavy losses in the war six years ago, even though the front line of the battle between Wei and Qin had moved westward to the Jingshui River...

The State of Qin is still a major concern for Wei Feng.

The news that Wei Feng said and the solemn look on his face immediately made the atmosphere in the hall become tense.

While all the courtiers were looking at each other, Pang Juan, the general of Wei State, was the first to stand up.

As a battle-hardened veteran of the Wei State, and having fought against the Qin army many times six years ago, Pang Juan's attitude towards the Qin State was highly consistent with that of Wei Feng at this moment.

"I report to you, your Majesty, that I believe that the new Duke of Qin, Ying Quliang, is following the example of our Wei State in carrying out reforms, and his plans are not trivial."

"If we, the State of Wei, sit back and watch this reform continue, Qin may not become a serious problem for our State of Wei in the future."

"In order to eliminate the disaster in advance, I will ask your Majesty to give me an army of 200,000. I will definitely become your Majesty and help the Wei State to pacify the Qin State."

General Pang Juan's statement immediately caused an uproar in the Wei court.

In this boiling oil pot that was dripping with water, a group of Wei courtiers either looked at each other or discussed with each other, talking about the possibility of Wei's destruction of Qin.

This situation gave Wei Feng, who was sitting at the top, an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if such a scene had appeared in front of him in his previous life.

It's just that unlike in the previous life when all the ministers in the court were immersed in the prosperity of the Wei State, in this life after the death of Wei Xianggong Shu Cuo, there is still a figure in the Wei State Court who is powerful enough to maintain the court.

"The general spoke with great courage, and even the veteran minister's blood boiled when he heard it."

When this powerful voice sounded in everyone's ears, a look of admiration appeared on everyone's face.

This person who holds a pivotal position in the Wei court is none other than Wei Xianggong Sun Qi.

Seeing Gongsun Qi getting up from the seat at the front of the officials and walking slowly to the aisle, even General Pang Juan took a step back.

You must know that it was Gongsun Qi who single-handedly promoted him, and his superb military skills over the years made him admire him from the bottom of his heart.

Gongsun Qi stood still in front of Wei Feng, and turned slightly to look at Pang Juan. There was clearly a hint of a senior looking at a junior in his eyes.

The next moment he turned forward and bowed to Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi still said very calmly: "This is your Majesty, I think that the General's concerns are reasonable, but at this moment it is not the State of Wei that is sending troops to the State of Qin.

A good opportunity for the army to fight decisively."

"The Battle of Yiqu has just ended, and the hundreds of miles of Yiqu territory have just been harvested. At this moment, we, the State of Wei, really should not start another war against the State of Qin."

"At this moment, the top priority of our country, Wei, should be to make every effort to digest the land of Yiqu."

An old house where a treasure.

Gongsun Qi's words did not sound as deafening as Pang Juan's just now, but they were like a splash of cold water that directly calmed down the Wei court, which was clearly a little too restless at the moment.

His simple expression, like that of a farmer next door, swept over the people around him. Seeing the calm expressions on their faces, Gongsun Qi looked upward again.

"Your Majesty, Sima Sun Boling once presented to Your Majesty a strategy for destroying the Qin Dynasty. This place of Yiqu is both the first and important step."

"Only by taking this step steadily and concretely can our country, Wei, be able to successfully complete the great cause of destroying Qin as planned in this strategy."

"Your Majesty, please think twice about all of this." After saying these sincere words, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed to Wei Feng.

As the Prime Minister of the Wei State, Gongsun Qi knew very well that the Wei State at this time was undoubtedly on the right path.

What Wei needs to do now is not to be affected by any reforms coming from Qin, but to complete everything step by step according to the previous plan.

By the time the Wei State completely digested the land of Yiqu, even if the Qin State really completed the so-called reform, the Wei State would already be in an invincible position.

Gongsun Qi's idea was undoubtedly far-sighted, and he naturally received the support of some important officials in the court.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I, Sun Boling, think that what the Prime Minister said is absolutely correct."

"Six years ago, after the Hexi War, the strength of Wei and Qin was irreversible. As long as we in Wei can follow the plan this time, Qin's territory will fall into my hands sooner or later."

"Please let your Majesty make your decision regarding all these matters."

The words Sima Sun Boling stood up and said at this moment undoubtedly represented the attitude of him, the proposer of the strategy to destroy Qin.

After Wei Feng listened to his words, the solemn expression on his face gradually softened, and he walked slowly to Gongsun Qi.

"The Prime Minister is worrying too much."

Gently helping Gongsun Qi up, Wei Feng had a kind smile on his face, and his words were full of intimacy.

"I have never thought of taking action against the Qin State at this moment. Today I am just curious about the reforms coming from the Qin State."

Wei Feng's clear words dispelled most of the doubts in Prime Minister Gongsun Qi's mind, but at the same time it also aroused another voice.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, Situ Gongsun Yangma."

Under the gaze of all the courtiers, as a new face in the Wei court, Gongsun Yang slowly walked up to Wei Feng.

"Your Majesty, I think that the changes made by the new king of Qin are actually done knowing that they cannot be done."

"Oh? Why did Situ say this?"

With a bit of curiosity on his face, Wei Feng looked at Gongsun Yang in front of him.

Wei Feng, who had suffered a huge loss in his previous life, had no doubts about his talents.

Wei Feng wanted to know how the Shang Lord of Qin in his previous life and the Situ of Wei in this life would evaluate Qin's reforms.

Facing Wei Feng's gaze towards him, Gongsun Yang had a look of confidence on his face, and then bowed slightly.

"Your Majesty, I believe that if a reform is to be successful, it must ensure that the surrounding environment is generally peaceful."

"In the past, when the Wei State was reforming, Zhao and Han were outside the country as allies, and no one in the world dared to invade. This left ample room for Prime Minister Li Kui."

"Looking at the Qin State at this moment, its territory is surrounded by our Wei State from the east, west and north. It can be said that it is surrounded by powerful enemies."

"If we, the Wei State, take advantage of the Qin State's reform to send troops, then even if the new Qin Duke Ying Quliang wants to complete the reform, I am afraid that he will fail in the end."

Everyone in the Wei state, including Wei Feng, agreed with Gongsun Yang's words.

At this moment, it is not easy for the Qin State to complete the reform.

"Doesn't the new king of Qin, Ying Quliang, know about this situation?" A voice full of doubts rang in the Wei court.

"Of course I know." Looking in the direction of the voice, Gongsun Yang replied with firm words.

"Judging from the news that our Wei State came back from Qin State, the new king of Qin State who succeeded to the throne is not a foolish monarch, but rather has great talents and great strategies."

"Of course he can understand Qin's current situation, and he has even seen deeply that the threat of Wei to Qin is right in front of him."

"This is why I said that he did it even though he knew it couldn't be done."

Looking at Wei Feng again, Gongsun Yang's eyes were full of confidence, "Your Majesty, under the strong pressure of Wei State from almost three sides, Qin State has no other choice."

"The defeat in the previous war proved that allies may be able to contain Wei for Qin for a while, but once the war resumes, it will ultimately depend on Qin's own national power."

"This is also the reason why the new king of Qin State, Ying Quliang, would choose to reform at this moment, just because this is what he or the State of Qin has to do."

Gongsun Yang's words made Wei Feng fall into thinking, and he began to try to put himself in Ying Quliang's position to think about all this.

If the law is not changed, Qin may not cause any disturbance in the country, but sooner or later it will be attacked from three sides by the Wei army and will be unable to resist.

The reform will inevitably cause turmoil in Qin's country, and there will even be rivals like Wei who take advantage of it.

But compared to being content with the status quo and waiting to be engulfed by Wei, Qin Xiaogong, who strongly supported Shang Yang's reforms in his previous life, would undoubtedly choose the latter.

The silence lasted for a long time in the main hall. Wei Feng slowly raised his head and asked Gongsun Yang softly.

"Situ, do you think Qin's reform will be successful?"

"I am reporting this to your Majesty, but I dare not make a conclusion. All I can do is wait and see."

As Gongsun Yang said, regarding the reform that took place in the Qin State, all they could do in the Wei State was wait and see.

The Qin State in the past life and the Qin State in this life, the Qin Xiaogong in the previous life and the new Qin King Ying Quliang in this life, the powerful old Qin family in the previous life and the Qin family that has been greatly weakened in this life...

Everything in the past life and everything in this life can be described as worlds apart. It is also because of this that the fate of the Qin State Reform seems a bit confusing.

However, with the firm support of Ying Quliang, a talented and strategic monarch, and under the watchful eye of Wei, an old enemy, Qin's reform was still in full swing.

"Brother Yang, do you really not know the outcome of Qin's reform?"

In a wine shop in Anyi, the capital of Wei State, Shen Buhe, a senior official, and his old friend Situ Gongsun Yang were sitting across from each other.

After drinking a good wine in his belly, he gently put down the wine in his hand, and recalling the news about Qin that had been sent back these days, Shen Buhai looked at his old friend in front of him with burning eyes.
