Ying Zheng could not stay in Handan all the time. As the king of the entire Qin State, he still had a lot to do. After saying goodbye to the people in Handan, Ying Zheng brought the queen, prince, and Zhao Kang to return to Xianyang. As for Zhao Kuo, he could not leave Zhao State for the time being. He was also responsible for the stability of Zhao State, and as for Yi and Zhao’s mother, he also wanted to stay in Handan. After Ying Zheng said goodbye to them, he finally left Zhao State.

King Zhao became the vassal of Qin, and people including the prostitute were not executed. This has calmed the hearts of some people in Zhao. Although these people were not executed, they were about to leave Qin and go to the land of Bashu. The territory of Bashu was large and the population was very small. Except for a few important cities, the rest of the areas were barbarians. After these people were scattered and threw them to Bashu, it was almost impossible to return to the Central Plains.

It is very difficult to get in touch with each other.

After conquering Zhao State, the shortage of officials in Qin State became even more obvious. In order to obtain enough grassroots officials, many counties in Qin State accelerated the training of children of school departments. The Qin State's school departments only taught laws, but because there were too many laws in Qin State, it took quite a short time to learn these laws. In the past, it took about a year to cultivate a candidate official qualified to participate in the assessment.

Now, this time must be shortened to half a year, otherwise the vacant position of officials will have a very bad impact. If the law is popularized and the people of Zhao accept the lifestyle of the Qin people, officials need to be in place to implement it. In the current situation of insufficient officials, county and township officials in various places can only be responsible for farming in person, and those temporary officials left.

The reason why they could not stay here and continue to serve is because they were officials before joining the war, and they had their own official positions in other places and could not stay here.

Yan State, Yan Dan sat in the upper position. Listening to the minister tremblingly reporting the situation in Handan, Jing Ke did not succeed... This news almost defeated Yan Dan's hope, and he could already predict the scene of the Qin King's anger and the Qin army destroying Yan State. Yan King Dan couldn't help but tremble. He looked at the minister in front of him and wanted to say something, but the words were blocked in his throat. He couldn't say it, and he just waved his hand and let the minister leave.

Sitting in the palace, greater fear enveloped him. Yan Dan suppressed the fear in his heart and slowly stood up. He was at a loss. If Qin attacked, how should he stop him? Who should he send to fight? He didn't know anything. In the following days, Yan Dan kept locking himself in the palace and never dared to come out again. Some ministers came to persuade him, but they couldn't see him.

This made the minister of Yan State distressed. When Yan Dan's prime minister and a Yan man called Huo forcibly rushed into the palace, Yan Dan stood up in fear and asked, "Has the Qin people attacked?" Huo was a talent that Yan Dan had just obtained not long ago. Huo was from a low-class background and had graze others. When he grew older, he left his hometown and studied everywhere. Finally, he became his disciple under the disciple of the great wise Lu Zhonglian.

After traveling around and learning a lot of knowledge, he said goodbye to his teacher and wanted to return to his hometown to become an official.

The other disciples of Lu Zhonglian looked down on him because Lu Zhonglian was unwilling to become an official. They thought that Huo was greedy for official positions and were not qualified to say that he was a disciple of Lu Zhonglian. Lu Zhonglian said: "I once said that the most valuable quality is to solve problems for others, but never ask for rewards. If there is something to take, it is the businessman's act, and I don't want to do it. Now that Yan State is in danger, what benefits can Huo return to Yan State? His behavior should not be ridiculed!"

After Huo returned to his hometown, Yan Dan was also very happy. He regarded him as his prime minister and respected him very much. Huo firmly opposed the assassination of the King of Qin. He believed that such an action would not benefit Yan State... Moreover, the king of a country did not want to govern the country and let the country become stronger earlier to deal with the enemy, but wanted to use a ranger to assassinate the kings of other countries. This was really not true.

However, Yan Dan, who had completely pinned his hopes on the assassination, did not listen to the confused suggestions and insisted on killing the King of Qin.

Looking at the haggard face of King Yan, Huo sighed and then said, "After Qin captured Zhao, he could not completely control Zhao, so he would not attack Yan in the short term. Please rest assured." At this moment, the King of Yan no longer dared not to believe the prime minister in front of him. He suddenly started crying, knelt down in the direction of Huo, and said, "I did not listen to your advice, which caused such a disaster. Please forgive me!"

Huo sat in front of Yan Dan and said seriously: "You don't have to be like this... The important thing is not to repent, but to solve the current difficulties... Qin State had long had the idea of ​​destroying the six kingdoms. Whether you send assassins or not, or whether the assassins can succeed, this will not change. The adult men in Yan State are not as large as the number of soldiers in Qin State. In front of Qin, Yan State is very weak, but we also have our own advantages."

"I suggest you move the capital, go to Liaodong, develop the land there, and build fortifications there. Liaodong is bitter and cold, and you can use climate and geography to resist the Qin people... Even in the most dangerous times, we have a place to escape..." Huo talked about his strategy. He believed that if you want to defeat Qin, you can't do it with manpower. You can only defeat the powerful Qin through natural conditions such as climate and geography that are beneficial to you.

Then, Huo said again: "Yan State has vast land and although there are few people, it is convenient for your reform. The reason why Qin State is powerful today is because of its system. Why can't Yan State follow Qin State? If you are willing, we can formulate Yan State's laws according to Qin State's laws, implement Yan State's military merit system, encourage agriculture and sericulture, establish a foreign road, and expand territory in areas outside Liaodong..."

Huo said his thoughts, that is ****... Since the barbarians from the west are so powerful, why not learn his system? After a doubtful words, Yan Dan suddenly woke up. Yan Dan, who was at a loss, seemed to have found the direction again. This is the most important thing. Huo smiled and said, "Do you know why I want to return to Yan State?" Yan Dan shook his head and Huo said seriously:

"I have been studying with my teacher over the years... Every time I hear the news about Yan State, I am always so sad, until I hear that Prince Dan of Yan killed his father and ascended the throne to the King of Yan... Originally, being a minister should not comment on the elders of the monarch, but please allow me to express my own thoughts. What King Yan did was the way Jie and Zhou did. If you kill him to become the King of Yan, you will become the public enemy of the world, and you are willing to do this, obviously for the sake of Yan State."

"I admire your ambition and courage, so I came to join you, but now you have disappointed me..."

Yan Dan's eyes were red, and he said, "Please forgive me. I will never make such a mistake again. I will never let Yan State perish."

Huo and Yan Dan began to formulate the path of reform. The first thing was to find a piece of wood. The reason for finding the wood was to build credit. Just like Shang Yang, even if someone had heard of this, he still had to do this... The whole thing was Huo's responsibility. He was repeating Shang Yang's path, but his work was much more convenient, and he didn't need to explore, just copy it.

Soon, the State of Yan issued a law that was exactly the same as the Qin law, and then set up a school room, requiring officials at all levels to study the law, cultivate students who know the law, and establish a grassroots system like the Qin law...

The Qin people were very happy. Unifying the Three Jins has always been the goal of the old Qin people. In this year, the Qin people completed their mission. The most powerful enemy, Zhao, was quickly defeated by Qin, and Qin became stronger. The only remaining Qi, Chu, and Yan did not perform much the same. Yan was busy with reforms and completely ignored the powerful enemy who sharpened their swords. The King of Qi seemed to feel a little pressure.

He asked Hou Sheng to discuss this matter. Qin State expanded too quickly. Now that the Three Jins are destroyed, Qin State will not choose to attack itself next, right?

Hou Sheng patted his chest and promised King Qi, please rest assured that Qin and Qi have been allies for many years, so they would never be like this.

The King of Qi had no opinion. Under Hou Sheng's persuasion, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and continued to enjoy it. As for Hou Sheng, he looked at the money sent by Qin again and said goodbye to the envoy with a smile. In Chu, the situation was just the opposite. The nobles of Chu felt the pressure. Although they were stupid and disgusted with Huang Xie's intervention in the Central Plains war, they were still a little scared when they heard that Qin had destroyed the powerful Zhao State.

There must be a great war between Qin and Chu, and the nobles of Chu knew it very well.

The nobles of Chu State were all very strange. Although they were more concerned about their own interests, these people also knew that their interests were bound to Chu State. If Chu State also perished like Zhao State, they would lose everything. This is why they hated Huang Xie so much, but were still willing to send private soldiers to participate in the war. They could not watch the demise of Chu State.

But what worries them was that Ling Yin Li Yuan’s relationship with Qin was too close.

Li Yuan even sent someone to congratulate the Qin King on his destruction of Zhao. When he learned that Yan State assassinated the Qin King, Li Yuan's public reprimand of the King of Yan was completely a dog's attitude towards his master, which made the nobles of Chu a little dissatisfied. Although you gave us enough power and allowed us to develop our own power at will, as the representative of Chu State, you cannot please Qin like a dog!

The relationship between Qi and Chu was very poor, and after Qin destroyed Zhao, the most likely target was Chu... Do you think Yan? Yan was not worthy.

The Chu nobles went to Shouchun to pay homage to Li Yuan, hoping that Li Yuan could treat the Qin people toughly, prepare for war, and win over Qi... However, Li Yuan didn't care about these words at all. He just smiled and promised everyone that he did nothing. The Chu nobles were a little confused. They asked Li Yuan to prepare for the war, but in fact they wanted to hand over some power to Li Yuan so that he could integrate Chu and increase national strength.

But Li Yuan doesn't want it.

The Chu nobles suddenly began to miss Chunshenjun... This was very strange. Chunshenjun was constantly fighting for power with them and wanted to kill them. They fought with Chunshenjun for decades. When Chunshenjun died, they replaced Lingyin, who ignored everything and allowed the nobles to develop their own power, the nobles began to think about returning some power and let Lingyin be responsible. However, Li Yuan didn't want to do these things.

The Chu nobles also had a headache. They didn't understand why the Chu prime minister was always so extreme? Either they wanted to kill them or Chu?

Li Yuan's own way of doing things also angered some radical Chu nobles. In just a few months, more than 20 nobles came to Shouchun not to pay homage to Li Yuan, but to pay homage to King Chu. If these people want the King of Chu to rule in person, it is impossible for the King of Chu to have a passive governance like Li Yuan, right? However, Li Yuan, who has always been kind, cannot tolerate such things.

If you want power, I can give it to you, but if you want to take away my position, don't blame me.

Li Yuan originally handed over the army of the King of Chu to several of his relatives. After the nobles kept proposing to let the King of Chu ascend the throne, the angry Li Yuan finally sent troops, saying that these nobles were treasonous. Then, a civil war broke out in the Chu State, and Qin State was naturally happy. Lu Buwei hurriedly sent some war supplies to Li Yuan to help Li Yuan... Li Yuan's army quickly defeated the nobles who wanted to let the King of Chu rule. Then, he distributed the territory of these nobles to other nobles.

If you fight a group and pull a group, Li Yuan can be regarded as a master of political struggle.

It was at this time that the young and energetic young master Fu Chu could not bear it anymore. He had the idea of ​​killing Li Yuan for a long time, but because the King of Chu was in poor health, he had been waiting for the King of Chu to die of illness, so he could become the King of Chu properly. However, seeing the current situation, Fu Chu summoned his disciples and said to them: "Li Yuan controls the government and regards the king as the son of King Kaoli. I should kill this evil thief for the country!"

A disciple persuaded him: "The King of Chu is in poor health... You are the eldest son again..."

"No, today I understand two things, because of these two things, I have to kill Li Yuan."

"The first thing is that Qin State destroyed Zhao State, and he will definitely attack Chu State next. Perhaps the King of Chu will be destroyed before he died of illness."
