In the Xuanzheng Hall.
Ying Yuan looked at the information sent by the Jinyiwei on the desk.
Suddenly I found it very interesting.
Because the intelligence said that the first king of Shu was Liu Bei.
He himself is the head of a noble family.
Then he received support from the Guan and Zhang families among the five independent families.
The heads of the family are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
So, he became the king.
But in the eyes of the five major families, he is not called the monarch, but the "common lord".
Of course, it is unknown whether other families will be able to take turns controlling Shu in the future as they wish.
In short, the current world pattern is still headed by Daxia.
Currently, in terms of strength, from high to low, they are ranked as follows:
[Xia Dynasty, Feng Dynasty, Dayan, Qi (Qin), Jin, Chu, Wu, Shu]
Qin's comprehensive national strength is no longer inferior to Qi's.
So the two are equal.
The Xia Dynasty was controlled by King Jie of Xia.
The Feng Dynasty adopted a feudal system, which was quite similar to the newly established Shu Kingdom.
With Emperor Xin as the main one, a total of hundreds of princes were enfeoffed.
The most famous among them are Yang Guang, Sun Jian and others.
The emperor of Yan State was Li Shimin.
Emperor Ji Fa of Qi.
Qin Emperor Ying Yuan.
Emperor Ji Chong'er of Jin.
Emperor Wu Hua of the Wu Kingdom.
Liu Bei, the common ruler of Shu Kingdom.
Mi Sheng of Chu State.
The above is the current world situation.
The Qin State was originally at the bottom of the list in terms of strength.
It jumped to fourth place and can even compete with third place.
I experienced too much sadness and anxiety during this period.
at present.
Ying Yuan was worried that the establishment of Shu would be detrimental to Wu.
So he issued an edict, asking Zhu Di and Wu Hua to jointly hold a grand military training ceremony at the border between the two countries.
This was to warn the Shu State that the Qin State was behind the Wu State.
But, then again.
If it weren’t for Mei Niang and his child in Wu State.
What does the rise and fall of the Wu State have to do with him?
Otherwise, he would have liked Shu to swallow up Wu, strengthen itself, and then have an impact on Qin's border.
Regarding the founding of the Kingdom of Shu.
Cai Jing and others even went to find Ying Yuan to discuss the matter.
"Your Majesty... ahem... Your Majesty, now that Yan has recognized Shu's status, what do you think, should our Great Qin establish diplomatic relations with it?"
Cai Jing's health is getting worse now.
Whenever he opened his mouth to speak, he would cough uncontrollably.
Sometimes, I can even cough up blood.
As a good friend of Cai Jing, Zhu Danxi also took his pulse.
However, the pulse has become weak and no tonic can make up for the damage.
Ying Yuan glanced at Zhao Gao and asked him to move a chair for Cai Jing to sit down.
Then, he slowly said, "Don't get involved in the affairs of Shu. You must remember that our Great Qin's ally is Wu."
It’s not impossible to make friends with a friendly country’s enemy, it’s just that Ying Yuan doesn’t want to.
With the current strength of Qin, Cai Jing did not take Shu seriously, so he nodded and said:
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing besides this."
"Now that the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang are in charge of both internal and external affairs, it's a good thing. But over time, I'm worried that these two major guards will take advantage of the opportunity to become more powerful. At that time, they will inevitably commit some illegal acts."
"Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can establish a new organization to oversee the two guards. Then the three guards will check and balance each other, forming a three-way balance of power, which will be more stable."
As soon as he finished speaking, he started coughing violently again.
Cai Jing had promised Yu Huatian something, but he had not yet done it.
The reason why I am talking about this today is because the Qin State has been at peace recently.
And Ying Yuan seemed to be in a good mood.
The most important thing is that his health is not good and I don’t know how many more years he can last in this phase.
If Lai Junchen and Wei Zhongxian heard what he said, they would definitely point at his nose and scold him.
What does it mean to be afraid of doing something illegal?
If this isn't groundless, what is?
Of course, false accusations of crimes have always been a tactic often used by ministers in political struggles.
Ying Yuan first frowned and looked at Cai Jing, somewhat worried about his health.
After all, he really didn't want to see this treacherous minister who would be famous throughout history get into trouble!
Even though, the other party had stabbed him in the back many times.
But he always felt that what if one day Cai Jing successfully awakened his true nature?
It's hard to say for sure.
Then, Ying Yuan thought that Cai Jing’s sudden statement about establishing a new guard might mean that his true nature had awakened.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's not a bad idea to establish a new factory guard. I wonder if the Prime Minister has anyone to serve as the commander of the new factory guard?"
Cai Jing put on a brave face and said, "I think Yu Huatian is a good person. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Yuhuatian?
In a certain film or TV drama, he is also a treacherous minister.
Ying Yuan immediately said, "Since the Prime Minister has recommended it, I will accept it."
"The new factory guard will be called the West Factory, and Yu Huatian will be the factory supervisor."
"Not long ago, the Empress told me that she thought it was inappropriate for Lai Junchen to hold two positions, and I strongly agree."
"Taking advantage of the establishment of the new factory guards, I will resign the post of Jinyiwei Commander from Lai Junchen and replace him with Ji Gang."
During the wars with Jin and Chu.
Daji once wrote a letter talking about the Jinyiwei.
Over the years, the reputation of the Jinyiwei has been somewhat biased under Lai Junchen's rule.
Ying Yuan didn't want to see this happen.
Perhaps if he changes the commander, the situation will develop in the direction he wants.
Cai Jing did not expect that the construction of the new factory guard would go so smoothly.
