General Liu finally said goodbye and left, and neither Ou Cheng nor Xiaomei sent him. The www.biquge.info people walked for a long time, and Ou Cheng pondered and said, "Where does he look like that Concubine Hu?" ”

"Not really." Xiaomei said, "It's like a nose and a mouth." The skeleton on the faces of men and women is different, and the nose is not very visible; Another moustache on his mouth. If you don't look closely, you can't see it. ”

Ou Cheng thought back to the appearance of Concubine Hu and General Liu, and sighed: "What kind of eyes do you have when you scout!" ”

Xiaomei smiled: "Miss Gui has seen him, and deduced that this person is from the illegitimate son of the Emperor Taishang, and painted his portrait." I recognized him when I saw him, and when I looked at Concubine Hu's appearance, I had the courage to gamble, not wanting to bet right. Then he also stood up and wanted to go.

At this moment, there was a "knock" outside the window, and the two shouted in unison, "Who?" At the same time, he jumped out. There is no shadow of the first half of the person under the white moon. The courtyard is very clean, and there is a small pebble lying in front of the steps. Throw stones and ask for directions. The two of them looked at each other, and they both guessed who it was.

After a moment of silence, Xiaomei guessed first: "Both the prince and the emperor may have masters in their hands who do not alarm the watchdogs." ”

Ou Chengdao: "I can't tell which prince it is." ”

Xiaomei said: "Now that your highnesses are gone, even if they listen to anything, it won't matter." ”

Ou Chengdao: "No matter who it is, it's okay. Now Chang'an is an eventful autumn, so it is better to be cautious in the future. So he ordered people to look around, but there was no sign of outsiders, and he just left.

Early the next morning, the King of Qin sent a eunuch to send an order, inviting Xiaomei, the female general of the Gao family, to the palace for a while. It was the first time that King Qin came to the Gao family to find someone, and the person he wanted was Xiaomei, who didn't even know his surname, and the old lady hesitated a little. Xiaomei guessed that King Qin had probably killed so many sons, and became suspicious of General Liu, but she didn't believe others. So he changed into men's clothes and followed the eunuch.

When I arrived near the palace, I didn't go to the main gate, but only went around to the back and entered the North Point Gate. After going around for a long time, I arrived at a courtyard, with several layers of elite soldiers inside and out, and standing like clay sculptures of maids. The eunuch asked Xiaomei to wait in front of the big warm pavilion in the east, and went in to ask for instructions. After a while, the eunuch came out and led Xiaomei in. I saw that the room was wide, separated by two screens, and there was a person crooked on the chaise longue in the middle, who was the lord of the Qin State. Xiaomei stepped forward and saluted. King Qin waved his hand and ordered her to get up, and then pointed to the first carved Nanmu circle chair for her to sit on. Xiao Mei sat down, only slightly leaning on the edge of the chair and sitting on the edge of the idea.

After a moment of silence, King Qin asked slowly: "General Xiaomei, how long can King Gu live?" ”

Xiaomei immediately understood that it was his person who threw stones to ask for directions last night, and said, "I don't know." The last general guessed that it must have been poisoned by some kind of slow-onset poison. Medicine. ”

King Qin's eyes shot two cold rays indifferently: "How did you guess?" ”

Xiaomei hesitated for a moment and said, "If it weren't for the poison used on the prince. Medicine, a few days ago...... Your Highnesses may not die. King Qin inquired with his eyes. Xiaomei thought for a while and said, "After the last general guessed the identity of General Liu, he deduced their original plan. ”

King Qin said: "Let's talk about it, King Lone listens." ”

Xiaomei said: "Stealing the country is a big deal, and it is extremely difficult; It is even more difficult to steal the country from the right master. Therefore, it is impossible to wait for everything to be considered before making a move, but only to gamble with a 70% or even 60% certainty. In General Liu's original plan, when he didn't calculate that the Gao family would be involved. Therefore, it is easy to guess just assuming that the Gao family stands by and watches. ”

"Guess."

"If the Gao family hadn't made a move, the thieves would have trapped the prince and princess and the princes that day, and only the little grandson and the third highness would be left outside. The little grandson is young, and he is in the midst of his father's filial piety, so he can't take care of it. His Royal Highness has been looking forward to pulling the prince off the horse for many years, and it is obvious that he has a relationship with Lord Ding Chu. He just didn't agree to exchange the key criminals with the thieves, and until it was dark, he could kill a brother with the hands of the thieves, causing a lot of civil and military chills. At that time, General Liu brought elite soldiers to come, sarcastically mocked the Third Highness with a few words, and then put on the face of a loyal minister to negotiate with the thief, and took the culprit. Then, as on that day, no one could see clearly when it was dark, and Zhuangzi, who had set up an ambush by thieves somewhere outside the city, fought a battle, except for rescuing the prince and the prince next to him. The prince also had to suffer some injuries that were not easy to treat, and he couldn't survive the winter after returning to Chang'an. At the latest at the beginning of next year, Lord Ding Chu and General Liu assisted the little grandson to succeed to the throne. ”

King Qin listened to her with bated breath, coughed for a long time, and closed his eyes again. After a long time, he said, "You go on, explain it more clearly." ”

Xiaomei sighed lightly: "The last general guessed, Lord Ding Chu had already formed an alliance with General Liu. Ding Chu is ambitious, and he can be tempted to take it. All the princes rushed to the palace early that day, only the Third Highness had not arrived for a long time, for fear of stumbling over Lord Ding or someone from them, and sincerely left a bold prince outside, he dared to bite the death and not change the hostages, so as to chill the prince's heart and hand over the Qin State to the young grandson. ”

King Qin coughed again and said in a dumb voice, "Why is the Lonely King poisoned?" ”

"General Liu was not prepared to enter Chang'an during the day, presumably to recharge his energy a little distance from Chang'an. didn't want something to happen in front of the palace, the prince's filial piety moved the old lady of the Gao family, suppressed the ministers and uncles with his own strength, and took the prisoners in exchange for the prince. When General Liu arrived, the great work was gone. Then they will have to change their tactics. Although you can't steal the Qin State, it's good to be able to exchange for the Emperor Taishang. He should save the princes alive. First, although the credit for saving the prince was snatched away by the prince's grandson, the credit for saving the prince is still his, and the loyal ministers are still him; Second, there are many princes, and after being rescued by him, they will inevitably woo him, so that he can sow discord and have evil ideas. When the time comes, your highnesses will have a chaotic fight, and you will be killed and injured, which can also chill the heart of the prince. They killed the prince in another way, helped the prince's grandson to ascend the throne, and blackmailed the young lord to order the Qin State. ”

"If the prince is safe and sound, but they kill your highnesses, it will inevitably cause the prince to be suspicious of General Liu. The prince was prosperous in the spring and autumn period, and since then he has taught his grandson wholeheartedly, and when the prince dies, the grandson has also grown up, where is there anything with them? Therefore, the last general guessed that General Liu was not afraid of the prince's suspicion. How can there be a general who is not afraid of the lord's suspicion, unless his lord is dying. King Qin suddenly gasped for air. Xiaomei paused, "I have heard that there are many secret medicines in the palace, and the prince of the world has also died strangely. Earlier, if it hadn't been for the robbing of the royal girl, Baba would have had to rely on her for the death of the son. ”

King Qin clutched the mattress on the couch with both hands and coughed for a long time, gasped for breath for a while, closed his eyes and recuperated. He also asked: "Since he is the son of the third brother alone, why did he send a message to the old eunuch and help save the princess?" ”

Xiaomei smiled and said, "Because the Third Highness is also the biological son of the princess." With the grandmother of the princess here, the princess and grandson can't suppress the three highnesses too ruthlessly; The Third Highness will naturally not be willing to live under the young nephew, and there will be trouble at least three days and two ends. Wang Taisun has to rely more and more on General Liu and Lord Ding. ”

Qin Wang Nai sighed: "Don't look at you as a woman, it's rare to be a real talent." He shook his head again, "Look, is there still loyalty in the Qin State?" ”

Xiaomei said: "It's already clear who is a loyal minister. On that day, the prince and grandson shouted in front of the palace that they wanted to take the emperor to replace the prince, and several adults ran over to cry in favor of the crowd, and quarreled with Ding Chu. The little grandson must remember which ones. ”

King Qin nodded: "You old lady said that the Qin State will die at the hands of the Shu State sooner or later?" ”

"Yes. Among the several countries that sent troops to foreign countries, Shu bordered Qin. ”

King Qin frowned and said, "Why is the old lady so optimistic about sending troops to foreign countries? Our Qin country has been a place of courage and good fighting since ancient times, and Qin Shi Huang has long destroyed the six countries to unify the world. ”

"The Qin State of today is not the Qin State of the past."

"What's the difference?"

Xiaomei said simply: "Poor." King Qin was stunned. Xiaomei sighed, "If you are poor, you can't afford the best firearms." Courage and good fighting were useful in ancient times, but they are much less useful today. The warrior was set on fire before he could reach the enemy. Guns and artillery are killed and blown up, no matter how brave they are, firearms are the key to victory and defeat. Several princes who sent troops abroad robbed a lot of money and came back, and used it to buy firearms and rob more money. The money of the Qin State is all earned by the people bit by bit, how can the money be compared to the robbery? ”

King Qin thought for a while, and then frowned: "The old lady thinks that if the Qin State wants a way out, the only way to follow the female bandit is to follow Queen Yan to North America?" ”

Xiaomei said: "The land in North America is fertile and there are many gold mines, so I am familiar with the road with King Yan. The strength of a country lies in the king. How old is King Yan, and the grandson of Wang is still young. ”

King Qin's eyes flashed, and after a while, he nodded slowly: "The old lady has a long-term vision. ”

Xiaomei said: "The Gao family has lived in Chang'an for a long time, so they naturally look forward to the good of the Qin country. ”

King Qin looked at her and said, "If King Gu is really not going to be successful, is the Gao family willing to help Gu's grandson?" ”

Xiaomei smiled bitterly: "Since ancient times, the Gao family really didn't dare. There is no shortage of loyal ministers and good generals in the Qin State, and the whole country is naturally rich and the people are strong. ”

King Qin sighed: "That's it, the twisted melon is not sweet." Nai pondered for a moment and asked, "Guess what the third brother of Lone will do?" ”

Xiaomei said: "The last general doesn't know his temperament. There are still some horses on their hands, and they may go to dig up the imperial tomb of the first emperor. ”

King Qin nodded and glanced at the eunuch beside him. The eunuch walked behind the screen and invited the princess and princess to come out. Xiaomei stood up and saluted.

Wang Taisun stepped forward with red eyes and grabbed Xiaomei's hand: "Aunt Xiaomei, you help me!" ”

Xiaomei said softly: "Taisun, I am a daughter, and I can't help you much." ”

"I don't care!" Wang Taisun grabbed her tightly, "You help me, you help me!" ”

Xiaomei smiled bitterly: "I can't go to the court to be an official, how can I help you?" If you're in trouble, can I give you an idea? ”

"Not good!" Wang Taisun cried, "If they had the ability, my father would not have died!" Uncle won't die either! Grandfather cried ...... "wow" child and sobbed, "Grandfather won't be sick ......"

Xiaomei turned her head to look at King Qin, then looked at the princess with red eyes, and said in a strange tone: "That's because ...... Each of the prince's sons wants to be the son of the world, and many courtiers are looking forward to being able to follow the right master. If they don't have a choice, they can only help Taisun in a down-to-earth way. ”

King Qin said leisurely: "Back then...... If the eldest brother had been all the time, we wouldn't have been able to think about it. He looked at Xiaomei again, "What is your origin, why does the Gao family have a character like you." ”

Xiaomei said with a smile: "The mother of the last general was originally a companion brought by the old lady from her mother's house, and she followed the old lady to the battlefield in her early years. If you talk about knowledge, the last general will not have much knowledge. Over the years, I often went to Ping'an Prefecture to talk to our third grandmother, and learned from her about the height of eyebrows. ”

King Qin thought for a while: "You three grandmothers...... It's Jia Cong's sister. ”

Xiaomei nodded: "Exactly." ”

King Qin suddenly remembered Jia Cong's flying magic weapon, and asked, "Does Jia Cong often use the Dao method?" ”

Xiaomei Zhengse said: "Third Master Cong is an ordinary mortal and doesn't know the Tao. ”

King Qin snorted and thought for a moment: "If the Lone King is Xingdao, will he come to help Lone." ”

Xiaomei shook her head and said, "Third Master Cong didn't come here to prosper. His errand this trip was to eliminate the disaster of national destruction a hundred years later, and only dealt with Dongying and Westerners. ”

King Qin asked, "Why did he go around opening a school for the children of ordinary people?" Are you afraid that they will not rebel after studying? ”

Xiaomei said: "In order to let them go to foreign countries to be masters, so that foreigners can be slaves." My people are our people after all. ”

King Qin suddenly realized: "I see! Nai patted the chaise longue under him, "Didn't he explain it earlier?" After a pause, "Looking at the national policies of Lu Country are all good policies, but there is no high or low, I am afraid that no one in Lu Country will be willing to plow the fields and work after many years." He had this in mind. Xiaomei smiled slightly and got up to say goodbye.

Two days later, the Gao family got the news sent by Jia's horse company, and the king of Qin passed the news that General Liu had entered the mansion yesterday, and he walked to the gate of the mansion and suddenly turned the horse's head and led people out of the city like crazy. The king of Qin set two hundred fires in vain. The gunman, stunned, didn't catch him. Another general led his troops to arrest Ding Chu and let him run away. Apparently see the King of Qin. There are also traitors in the house, what kind of code did he give to General Liu. The king of Qin then carefully inspected the whole mansion and found many detailed works. A few days later, the king of Qin dismissed a number of officials who had something to do with his third son, and ordered the third highness to study behind closed doors and not to make friends with foxes and dogs without anything.

On the twenty-first day of the lunar month, the king of Qin died. The ministers helped the king's grandson ascend the throne. The prince immediately ordered someone to move a large stack of national policies from his grandfather's study to study, and prepare to copy the same.

At the beginning of the new year, the new King of Qin sent a letter to King Yan, wishing to serve King Yan as a hegemon, and begging his uncle and grandfather to take him to North America. The King of Qin is not as good as the King of Lu. After all, Lu is a small country, no bigger than an ant on the map; Qin was one of the largest vassal states at the time of the partition. The submission of the King of Qin can shock the world. All the civil and military cheered in unison, "The prince is a thousand years old~~"

Just two days after this letter arrived in the capital, the king of Chu also wrote this book. I heard that the king of Xiao Chu went to the country of Lu to hang out, and met the king of Lu and also went out of the house to play. Although the two are different in generation, they are similar in age and very speculative, and they each make friends under pseudonyms. After a while, both of them guessed each other's identities, which was interesting. The King of Chu is very envious of the little uncle of King Lu, and he loves the fresh and interesting style of the Lu country, and even the New Year is spent in the Lu country.

King Yan put the two letters in one place and laughed: "The lonely hegemony is just around the corner!" ”
