The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 538 Anxious Ying Xin
The so-called convenience of mountains and rivers means that when drawing boundaries, the divisions are made based on natural conditions such as mountains and rivers.

The benefits of this division method are obvious, because natural mountains, rivers, and lakes are the most direct and obvious distinctions between two regions. Moreover, due to the separation of mountains and rivers, there are often significant differences in politics, culture, society, economy, and other aspects between the two regions. Using the principle of the shape of mountains and rivers to divide makes the administrative divisions and geographical regions consistent and natural.

Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious.

If administrative regions are divided entirely according to the principle of geographical location, there will be a huge hidden danger.

That is, if the administrative regions are divided completely according to the principle of "convenient terrain and mountains", then the region can easily become a complete, independent area with a good terrain and a place with four barriers. If the region is large enough and the leaders have enough power and ability, then a situation of separatism will be formed.

For example, the terrain of Shu is a textbook example of local separatism. It has dangerous mountains and rivers outside and fertile land inside. It is self-sufficient in food and clothing and easy to defend but difficult to attack. With the danger of Wu Gorge and the solidity of Qinling Mountains, plus the fertility of the land of abundance, it can spy on the world if it advances, or it can retreat to a small place to live.

Shanxi is a highland, with Taihang Mountain to the east and the Yellow River to the west and south. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, just like Shu. Unlike Shu, which is almost completely closed, Shanxi has a commanding position over Hebei, Central Plains and other places around it.

Those who control Shuzhong can only live in peace in one area and are unlikely to get involved in the rest of the country. But those who control Shanxi can often sweep across the rest of the country.

However, it is impossible to abandon the division principle of 'convenience of mountains and rivers', and it is impossible to completely disrupt it. This is a matter of mixed advantages and disadvantages.

In this case, we can only add sand artificially, which is called "interlocking".

That is, when dividing, the strategic locations of this area were deliberately divided into another area, thus destroying the geographical integrity of the political region and making local separatism difficult.

Regardless of the dangers of the mountains or the dangers of the rivers, strategic locations are all moved to neighboring areas to serve as checks and balances.

The division of administrative regions is politically prioritized in order to consolidate the regime.

This is just the "interlacing" of geography. More specifically, the "interlacing" principle must also be followed in terms of economy, culture, ethnicity, population, military defense, etc. It is not safe enough to just add sand in geography.

For the most obvious example, we can look at the "bulk province" of later generations.

Checks and balances are wonderful.

Before we knew it, the eleventh year of King Zheng of Qin had passed.

It's another year of winning.

The process of conquering the world is progressing steadily, everything is going well, and there will definitely be some fun next year to add some interest to your busy life.

There are a few more children this year.

Jingwei and his dear elder sister gave birth to the eighteenth and nineteenth princesses, and Ying Zheng named them Ying Le and Ying Yang respectively.

Xia Yue gave birth to the twenty-seventh son, Xun Sui.

The little beauty from Mount Shu, the saint Han Lei from Mount Shu, gave birth to twenty-eight princes Cui Ju. Ying Zheng promoted her rank to the seventh son. Ying Zheng liked this little beauty with a delicate appearance but an overbearing figure very much.

It was another cold winter. It snowed heavily in the cold winter of the eleventh year of King Zheng of Qin, which allowed all the living people in the world to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The disaster is finally over.

Next year will be a good year.

The digestion of Zhao State is proceeding steadily and rapidly. Facts will always prove that those who know the times are the majority.

Especially the nobles.

Their principles and bottom lines in all aspects are very flexible.

Lü Buwei could not come back this winter, as the State of Zhao could not do without him. Empress Zhao Daochang, now Madam Xianshu, and Anle Hou Zhao Qian, as well as the Zhao clan, were on their way to Xianyang after cooperating with Qin to complete an important handover.

As for Jianxin Jun Guo Kai and others, they still have to cooperate with Lu Buwei to complete the remaining tasks, and will return to Xianyang with Lu Buwei in the future.

Ying Zheng is now walking alone in the snow, which is his favorite thing to do. Perhaps because Zhao Ji likes snow, Ying Zheng also likes it very much.

Although in the warm Zhangde Hall, there are the dance of the Snow Girl, the zither of Nongyu, and various unique songs and dances of many beauties, including those from the grassland, Sichuan, and the Western Regions, it is also a beautiful thing to occasionally feel the wind and snow and appreciate the purity of the world.

There are too many government affairs to deal with, and it is not easy to find some time to relax and have some peace in the midst of our busy schedule.

The atmosphere in the harem has been too depressing recently.

Ever since Ying Zheng bestowed the Xuanniao Six-Phoenix Crown on Ying Xin, the harem, which was already turbulent, became even more depressed.

Anyway, Mi Yun broke a lot of things and cried alone several times.

Of course, she wasn't the only one who threw things, there were at least five or six people.

Ying Zheng’s suggestion was already too obvious.

Many people who understand the situation have already realized that from the perspective of the highest interests of the Qin Dynasty, Lady Huiyi is indeed more suitable.

The ministers from the Zhao family had already begun preparing gifts for the queen.

Everyone was rubbing their hands in anticipation, waiting for Ying Zheng to take the lead, and countless memorials would be submitted immediately.

Ying Zheng naturally saw all the actions of the court officials clearly. However, he was not in a hurry.

I know you are anxious, but don’t be anxious, because I am not anxious.

It is enough to show the attitude, and it is enough for all the people in Zhao State to work hard. Sometimes, giving people an expectation is better than giving them a result directly.

It's like the carrot hanging in front of a donkey. Once it eats it, it will lose the motivation to run.

Ying Xin, this silly girl, already has two sons with Ying Zheng. Although her kind and benevolent nature has not changed, she is not as naive and silly anymore. After staying in the harem for so many years, she has gained a lot of experience.

When Ying Xin received the Xuanniao Six-Phoenix Crown as a reward, he immediately understood that the State of Zhao might be coming to an end.

In fact, Ying Xin had already known this when they attacked Zhao in the spring of this year. Although she was naive and kind, she was not stupid.

In the spring, the Qin army launched a massive attack on Zhao. After the army was dispatched, Ying Zheng specially asked her to sleep with him for several days in a row, and many things were made clear to her.

Although she was extremely sad, she was mentally prepared that this day would eventually come.

Especially after the Qin Dynasty annexed Korea.

Ying Xin thought so, it was a good thing, the two families would become one, and there would be no more wars.

As for the family, the king is benevolent, just like Marquis Guiyi. The ancestors are worshipped continuously and the family is prosperous. This is the best ending.

As for stopping her, the same thing applies: she is not stupid!
She just hoped that the people could live a better life. Even if she didn't want to admit it, Ying Xin had to admit that the people of Qin lived better than the people of Zhao.

After obtaining the Xuanniao Six-Phoenix Crown, he understood completely that the war was about to begin again, and this time, the State of Zhao would definitely be completely annexed.

However, if Zi Du can become the future king of the world, inherit his father's vast kingdom, and benefit all the people in the world.
Well, the State of Zhao should indeed be annexed by the Qin State. There will only be one country in the world where there will never be war again!
Ying Xin immediately wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to give it to Li Jian, who was about to go on a diplomatic mission to the State of Zhao, asking him to give it to Queen Zhao Daochang at the same time.

As for grief, after obtaining the Xuanniao Six-Phoenix Crown, there was no grief at all.

Everyone knows the meaning of this phoenix crown.

Before this one, only Lady Yunmeng had one. At that time, Lady Yunmeng was the first lady of the king and had given birth to the eldest son of the king. She was the king's favorite. Who wouldn't envy her?

But when given the chance, she couldn't seize it.

Haha, her father broke the alliance for no reason, and suddenly joined forces to attack Qin, and the position of queen that she had obtained was gone.

Now that the king has bestowed it upon me, the implication is already very clear.

Ying Xin instantly became more open-minded. She no longer felt pain in her heart or discomfort. She felt refreshed.

It is true that Zhao is my motherland, but now Great Qin is my country, and the King of Qin is my husband and my only heaven.

When I become the queen and Zi Du becomes the crown prince, Qin and Zhao will become one family, then we will be a real family!

Qin and Zhao have the same origin, the same surname and the same clan name, so it's time for them to become one family again.

Anyway, Zi Du's family name is Zhao! His surname is Ying! Why should we separate you and me? We should not be separated!

But this year is almost over, and the State of Zhao has completely submitted and is integrating into the Qin State. Why hasn't the king issued an edict to enthrone it yet?

Ying Xin has been extremely happy lately, but she is also extremely anxious. She can't sleep well, and when she does fall asleep, she either has a sweet dream or a nightmare.

During this period, she wrote several letters to Madam Xianshu, constantly advising her to consider the overall situation.

She was really anxious and afraid that something might go wrong. Thinking back to the previous experience of Madam Yunmeng, she was very confident at that time, but in the end it was all in vain. Ying Xin was really afraid.

Recently, when she was in the emperor's bedchamber, her eyes when she looked at Ying Zheng were very soft, full of expectation and hope. She let Ying Zheng do whatever he wanted and her subjective initiative was extremely strong.

However, Ying Zheng pretended not to know and accepted all the benefits, without saying anything whether the task was done or not.

This makes the little beauty Ying Xin feel so resentful now.

Ying Zheng really didn't intend to cause any more trouble, and it was impossible for the State of Zhao to cause any trouble at the moment.

He was just playing it safe out of habit. Anyway, there was no rush and it would not affect Zhao's enthusiasm for doing things.

As a monarch, trust is the most important thing. The monarch himself makes rules and establishes order. Order and rules in turn safeguard the monarch's ruling rights and interests. All of this requires trust to maintain. Without trust, everything is bullshit.

The cornerstone of human society is faith. Without faith, everything is just a castle in the air.

For such a major event as establishing the queen, since one has already made one's stance clear, one should not play tricks on the ministers. Besides, Ying Xin is the most suitable person.

Mi Yun's previous actions were deliberate and had sufficient reasons, but it would be inappropriate to have another change now, which would damage his prestige.
