The
next day, after the morning court meeting, Mu Wu and the others were asked to stay behind by Ying Zheng. Just as Eunuch Ma had said, Ying Zheng asked them to discuss a plan to destroy Qi.
Qi State was located on the coast of the East Sea. Ever since Jiang Ziya was enfeoffed here and the Tian family replaced Jiang, Qi State had always been a big country in the east, just like how Chu State had always been a big country in the south.
Moreover, the Qi Kingdom had earned a lot of money by relying on the East Sea salt. In the Kingdom of Qi, there were also the Su Academy and the Little Sage Manor. The schools of thought clashed and developed here. It was like an academic paradise, something that the Kingdom of Qin could not compare to. In addition, the Qi State and the Qin State were the furthest away. One was in the east and the other was in the west. Therefore, the war against the Qin State over the years had basically not caused any trouble to the Qi State.
To a certain extent, the Qi State was the strongest among the six states. This was also the reason why Wei Liaozi and Li Si had proposed to make friends with distant countries and attack nearby countries when they had made the strategy for Ying Zheng. They had also put Qi at the end of the list.
It was difficult for a lone palm to ring, and it was difficult for a lone tree to survive.
If at the beginning, when the Qin State was encroaching on the Zhao, Wei, and Han, a big country like the Qi and Chu State had attacked immediately, then even though the Qin State was strong, it might not be able to unify the world.
Unfortunately, it was like a joke played by the heavens. At the end of the Warring States Period, only the wise ruler of the State of Qin came one after another. The other six countries competed to see who was stupid. Of course, King Qi was much better than King Xi of Yan and King An of Han, but he could only listen to the words of others. He was not wise. Moreover, it was said that King Qi was extremely soft-hearted.
Just as Mu Wu was thinking about this, Ying Zheng called his name.
"Muwu, what do you think?”
Mu Wu restrained his thoughts and stood up, saying,"Reporting to father, your son feels that perhaps we can subdue the enemy without fighting.”
"Oh?" Ying Zheng was obviously interested.
Wang Jian, who was standing by the side, sighed inwardly. This Young Master Mu Wu was truly amazing with his words. But, he was indeed much smarter than them in doing so. At least, Ying Zheng's interest had been aroused.
"Father, the Qi Kingdom has a strong academic atmosphere and the various schools of thought exist in the country. Thus, the Qi Kingdom has always been regarded as a place of joy by the schools of thought, and King Qi has always regarded this as something that the Qi Kingdom is proud of.”
"However, the Hundred Schools of Philosophy will succeed and fail. As far as I know, one of the two most prominent schools of thought in the world, the Little Sage Manor of Confucianism, is located in Sanghai City on the coast of the East Sea of Qi State.'If the Great Qin cavalry destroyed the Yan and Zhao countries, then launched a fierce attack on the Qi Kingdom, forcing the Qi Kingdom to believe that their destruction was certain, then Royal Father would send a eloquent person to explain the pros and cons. With the current King Qi's soft-heartedness, as long as he used some tricks on the Hundred Schools of Thought to force them to stand on the side of the Great Qin, such as the Confucians and the Famous Scholars, he believed that with the combined efforts of the two sides, King Qi might surrender without fighting!”
Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. Although there was still some uncertainty in this matter, according to Mu Wu, he was indeed somewhat confident. After all these years, Ying Zheng was the clearest about the investigation of the six kings. King Qi had always claimed that he loved his people like his own children. As long as he chose the right person, and threatened him a little, perhaps there would really be no need to fight anymore!
"Good! Prepare according to Mu Wu's instructions. As for the candidate?" Whether or not Mu Wu could do what he said, this eloquent man could be said to be the key. Therefore, he had to be cautious. Ying Zheng could not decide for the time being.
"Your Majesty, since Young Master Mu Wu has proposed this strategy, why don't we let Young Master Mu Wu do it?”Zhao Gao, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, suddenly said.
Mu Wu's heart skipped a beat. Zhao Gao was trying to harm him. If he went, King Qi might take him hostage. Ying Zheng must not lose his mind and agree to it. Otherwise, according to his personality, even if he knew he was wrong later on, he would not admit it. Instead, he would let him go directly.
Fortunately, Mu Wu's worry was completely unnecessary.
Ying Zheng berated,"Dog slave, what are you thinking?" Mu Wu was the second son of the Great Qin Dynasty. What if he became a hostage in the Qi Kingdom?”
"Yes, this servant was wrong, this servant was wrong.”Zhao Gao quickly knelt on the ground and slapped himself.
Mu Wu was getting more and more cautious. Zhao Gao was quite scheming, so he probably wouldn't make such a mistake. Was he really trying to frame him? This shouldn't be the case.
"This servant only feels that Young Master Mu Wu is both civil and military, and it is truly a little too much for him to be so idle in Young Master Manor.。。”Zhao Gao said as if he was speaking up for Mu Wu.
"Humph, there's no need to mention Muwu going to the Qi Kingdom anymore. However, you're right. It's been half a year since Muwu left the palace.”Ying Zheng scolded Zhao Gao, but did not punish him. From this, one could see the deep position Zhao Gao held in Ying Zheng's heart.
However, Mu Wu felt even more uneasy. This dog slave was setting a trap for him. The reason why he proposed to send him to the Qi Kingdom was to let Ying Zheng know that Mu Wu had been idle for half a year, and that it was time for him to find something to do.
But now, the most important thing was to unify the world. However, Mu Wu had made a great contribution in the extermination of Chu and Han, and his status was already on par with Fu Su's. In order to balance the power of his two sons, Ying Zheng obviously would not allow Mu Wu to make another great contribution.
However, Mu Wu had always been idle, but it was not something that the diligent Ying Zheng was willing to see. Zhao Gao had definitely prepared a dangerous task for himself that would not bring him much credit.
As expected, Zhao Gao said,
