Although only the rebels in the north were defeated, and the battle situation in the south and west was unknown, the hearts of the people of the Qin State were already steady, and they no longer took those two men and horses in their eyes, and even the royal palace had already set up a celebration banquet, not to mention the people of Li below? Xianyang City has returned to its former prosperity, as if the city gate has been closed for a few days, and nothing else has happened.

Qu Nian has now become a celebrity in Xianyang, and people know him everywhere he goes, probably knowing that he is approachable, and does not have the arrogance of other princes, so walking on the street, many people will greet him, and will give him things, some of them are bold, and ask him if he is married?

Qu Nian became less fond of shopping, he stayed at home to chat, practice swordsmanship, and lived a quiet life, and he also liked this kind of tranquility.

Two days later, in the evening, someone suddenly came to the palace, and the king of Qin passed him into the palace.

After all, the war is undecided, and although King Qin has already set up a celebration banquet, he always has to clean up the mess, so he basically stayed in the Shuide Hall for the past two days.

When Qu Nian entered the Shuide Palace, there was only King Qin alone, which was extremely quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the previous two days.

The king of Qin stood by the sand table and beckoned to him when he saw him enter the door. When Qu Nian approached, he asked, "Have you eaten dinner?"

Qu Nian said: "I was just about to eat, and I was called over by my father." ”

King Qin smiled: "That's just right, I'll eat with my father later!"

Qu Nian said: "Then thank you father!"

King Qin said: "What else is polite to me." ”

Qu Nian said: "My father called me over just for dinner?"

King Qin said: "Your uncle Changhuajun has handed over the military power!"

Qu Nian said: "Really, that's good news. ”

King Qin nodded and said, "It is indeed good news. Your uncle is also a smart man, he also knows that the general trend has gone, if he does not hand over the military power, his family will die without a place to be buried, mainly because of you, now the outside has spread you to the gods, as long as you are there, he will not dare not surrender!"

Qu Nian hurriedly said: "My father has promoted me, or because my father's prestige is far and wide, which makes Changhuajun cold!"

King Qin glared at him and said, "There are no outsiders here, what are you modest with me?" Then he sighed again and said: "But this is fine, isn't it good that your uncle will hand over the military power, and he will retire in peace and stability in the future, and enjoy the glory and wealth for generations? ”

Qu Nian nodded and said, "Yes!"

King Qin said: "Thanks to you this time, you came up with such a perfect idea, killing two birds with one stone, and you don't have to worry about your uncle's rebellion in the future, and the Qin State can have an extra 500,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Qu Nian said: "This time my father really promoted me, such a simple idea, anyone can come up with it?"

King Qin said: "But not everyone has such a bearing. ”

Qu Nian said: "Since my father is willing to adopt it, he must also have such a bearing!"

King Qin shook his head and said, "Not really. At that time, I was so angry that I even wanted to order your uncle to be captured in one fell swoop, but later it was your opinion that calmed me down. ”

Qu Nian said with a smile: "My father is the king of benevolence and righteousness, otherwise it would be useless for me to say that I would be ruthless." ”

King Qin smiled and said, "Maybe!" After a pause, he said, "Tomorrow, the corpses of He Zaiye's father and son will be sent back, what do you say?"

Qu Nian said: "What is my father going to do?"

King Qin said: "I am going to hang the corpses of their father and son at the city gate and expose the corpses for three months to set an example." ”

Qu Nian said: "Since my father has already decided, why do you have to ask me?"

King Qin said: "I just want to hear your opinion, if it were you, what would you do?"

Qu Nian said: "If it were me, I would be buried directly, I don't like to abuse corpses, it's not interesting, if the Qin State is strong enough, there will be no man-made rebellion, if the Qin State is weak, even if the corpse is exposed every day, there will be man-made rebellion, there is no inevitable connection between this." What's more, there is also Changhuajun in the rebellion, if it is treated equally, Changhuajun should also hang the city gate and expose the corpse for three months, otherwise it is easy for people to gossip behind their backs. ”

King Qin thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, as long as you are strong enough, you are not afraid of others rebelling." Then do as you say, and immediately I will inform Wan Ting and ask him not to transport the bodies of He Zaiye's father and son back, and let them bury them on the spot. ”

Qu Nian said with a smile: "Father, in fact, you don't need to ask me about this kind of trivial matter, it makes me feel like walking on thin ice." ”

King Qin said: "I also want to know about you! It can be seen that if you are allowed to sit in the position of King Qin in the future, you must also be a benevolent and righteous king!"

Qu Nian hurriedly said: "Father's words are a bit heart-wrenching!"

King Qin stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's not a punishment, in the future, when my father is old, the Qin State will definitely hand it over to you." You are more kind, and my father now believes more and more that you were forced to kill your brother in the Lechuan Valley. ”

Qu Nian said: "Father Mingjian, I really have no choice, and my heart is still hurting!"

King Qin sighed: "I can understand you, you are so kind to your uncles who have never met you, let alone your own brothers? Blood is thicker than water, how can you not feel pain in your heart? Let the past pass!" After a pause, he said: "Although you have only been back for more than a few months, your reputation in the Qin State is now in full swing, and the government and the opposition are optimistic about you, which is even higher than my reputation back then. Why don't you take advantage of your midday now and make you the crown prince in the next two days?"

Qu Nian hurriedly said: "Father, in fact, I am not interested in the position of the crown prince!"

King Qin was stunned and said, "Do you still feel reluctant to make you the crown prince?"

Qu Nian nodded and said, "It's really reluctant, and I don't want to." ”

King Qin was slightly stunned and said, "But you said last time that you could barely accept it." ”

Qu Nian said: "I have changed my mind now, this time there is such a big turmoil in the Qin State, the six countries of Shandong stand by and watch, I estimate that they will have to make a big move, the five countries of Shandong may have to crusade against the Yan State, I don't have the energy to be the prince now, once I become the prince, I have to deal with government affairs, that will distract me, isn't my father not interested in the eye of the sky?"

How could King Qin not be interested in the Eye of Heaven? As soon as he heard the three words of the Eye of Heaven, he was full of interest, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "Are you sure that the Five Kingdoms of Shandong are going to crusade against the Yan Kingdom?"

Qu Nian said: "I'm not sure! So I have to calm down and stir up this matter, and we must let them attack Yan Kingdom, otherwise we won't be able to fish in troubled waters." And now, with my identity, I am also suitable for doing this kind of unsightly deed, if I become the prince, it will be inconvenient for everyone to pay attention. ”

King Qin nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, then we must put the Eye of Heaven first. As for the position of the crown prince, as long as the father does not die, it will always be yours, so there is no hurry. You first try to get the Eye of Heaven, as long as you can refine the Eye of Heaven, what is the crown prince, our father and son will not take it to heart. ”

Qu Nian nodded and said, "That's right!"

King Qin sighed: "It may really be God bless Great Qin, it is also father and son, you see how miserable He Zaiye's father and son died, if you are He Zaiye's son, this time the Qin Kingdom will be finished." ”

Qu Nian said: "He Zaiye can't have such an excellent son." ”

King Qin laughed and said, "What you said is not wrong at all, only a widow can give birth to such an excellent son as you, and no one in the world can do this." ”

The shameless father and son praised each other, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all, but had endless fun.

At this time, King Qin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Let's go, go to dinner with my father, now that the big thing is over, there is nothing worth worrying about, tonight our father and son will not return drunk, and we will sleep in the palace when we are drunk!"

Qu Nian responded.

After two days, the Bashu State in the south also withdrew its troops, originally they came to make paste, and now I heard that He Zaiye was executed, the Yiqu army was destroyed, and Changhua Jun had surrendered, where did they still have the courage to stay on the land of Qin? I don't want to stay longer for a moment, when I come, I am like a tiger coming down the mountain, surging, and when I go, I am a lost dog, I ran away with my tail, and I am not sure when I run to the house, and now their good brother Yiqu Guo is basically paralyzed, if Qin Guo comes to crusade against them now, there is no one to help them pull Qin Guo's thighs in the back, which makes the entire Bashu people panic, and I feel that this time it is not a loss to steal chickens and rice.

Wan Ting and Xie Changhong reorganized the soldiers and horses outside, and also returned to Xianyang to resume their lives, although this plan to break the enemy was completely planned by Qu Nian, but these two people, as executors, were also indispensable, and they were praised by King Qin above the court, and it was easy to add officials to the knighthood.

Of course, these two people also know that they can have today's achievements are entirely because of the grace of Qu Nian's knowledge, if it weren't for Qu Nian's recommendation, they might still be at home in confinement! And if there is no plan for Qu Nian, they will not be able to fight such a beautiful battle, this battle is enough to make them famous for eternity, forever in the annals of history, so after these two people went down to the court, they did not go home to report the good news, the two discussed, and went directly to the small building of Youxi to invite Qu Nian to drink. Wan Ting also wants to make amends to him by the way, after all, the last time Qu Nian wanted to escape, he was caught by him, and I don't know if he has any complaints in his heart.

Fortunately, when they saw Qu Nian, Qu Nian did not have a dissatisfied expression towards them, and when he heard that he was going to invite him to drink, he was full of promises, and specially asked Chu San to dare to call Cicada Xiyu Shu as well, and everyone went to eat together.

As for Fei Fei, he is an unsightly person, so let him stay at home and alchemy.
