Chapter 44: Qiang Returns to Qin
Yue Wuyu died, the news spread from the Yue Clan's court on the same day, and the Yue Clan King had no chance to block the news, both the nobles and the people were rumoring that Yue Wuyu was poisoned by the Yue Clan's King with poisoned wine, because the Yue Clan King was afraid that Yue Wuyu would threaten his throne.
Of course, this kind of talk is only believed by ill-intentioned people and ordinary people, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yue Wuyu was not killed by the king of the Yue clan, although the king of the Yue clan is not a male lord, but he is not a mediocre and incompetent person, and he will never destroy the Great Wall, and the importance of Yue Wuyu to the Yue clan is clear to the king of the Yue clan better than anyone else.
Therefore, it is said that there is someone else who killed Yue Wuyu, the king of the Yue clan is just the most suspicious, and he has only taken the blame, and it is clear that the suspicion of the king of the Yue clan cannot be washed away no matter what, and the prestige of the king of the Yue clan is no longer what it used to be because of this rumor, and the king of the Yue clan himself has been ecstatic and flustered for a few days, neither discussing nor seeing anyone, locking himself in the account, and the meals sent every day have not been touched, which makes the ministers both anxious and helpless.
Outside the Yue's king's tent!
A guard came with a pale face to send plastic seals to the king's tent, there are some ministers and the concubines and children of the king of the Yue clan in front of the tent, see the plastic seals are low salutes and greetings, send plastic seals one by one to return the salute, come to the big tent tabernacle, the guards reported: "Qi Yu Shan Yu, plastic waiting to see." ”
There was silence in the account, and after a long time, a faint voice came out, "Come in." ”
The two guards in front of the big tent lifted the tent and sent the plastic seal to enter the tent. Because it was noon, the light outside the tent penetrated into the account, making the inside of the big tent as bright as the outside.
Feeling that the plastic seal was coming in front of him, the king of the Yue clan raised his head, his eyes were red, and the wrinkles and furrows on his face were vertical and horizontal, and when he saw the plastic seal, tears rolled in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Shan Yu, how can this be, you are a member of the Yue clan's millions?"
Hearing the words of the plastic seal, the Yueshi King's eyes opened wider, and the red eyes made people afraid and heartache when they saw it, and said in a low voice: "You don't hate me, the world thinks that I can't tolerate Brother Yu, poison him in the wine, and I still let you send the jar of wine." ”
Jisu sighed, and said with a guilty face: "Yes, the jar of wine was sent by me, I personally gave the poisoned wine to my best brother, I personally poisoned my best brother, for a few days, I closed the door, I didn't dare to sleep, because as soon as I fell asleep, I saw: my best brother covered his abdomen with one hand, held the wine jar with the other, spitting blood, looking at me with disbelief on his face, and saying in his mouth: 'Why? ”
The King of the Yue Clan smiled sadly and said, "How can I not, as soon as I fall asleep, I will dream of the bits and pieces of his childhood and him, and then he will become unkempt and blood-stained and ask me why I don't trust him, why can't I tolerate him?"
Jisu sat down on one of the steps of the throne and said: "There are many people in this world who want him to die, and there is absolutely no one among them, not to talk about the relationship between you, you know better than anyone how important he is to the Yue Clan, how important it is to you." Moreover, when he came back with the army, he took the initiative to resign as a general, you and I are very clear, he just defeated the Huns, and the generals in the army were dissatisfied because of your previous five military orders, if he wanted, he only had an order that day, and it was not necessarily you who sat in this position today, he did not, he resigned from the post of general without hesitation, and he disdained the position of your life. ”
The king of the Yue clan was not angry at all at all at at the disrespect in the words of the plastic seal, but said with a smile of memory: "Yes, that day, he was in this big tent, you and me, he came directly to my desk with the handsome seal, and smashed the handsome seal on the desk with his right hand. He's old, and he's still as violent and convulsive as he was when he was a child. ”
Saying that, he looked at the tent, as if he had returned to the scene of the day, Yue Wuyu, who was wearing armor, put down the handsome seal, strode towards the outside of the tent, lifted the tent, looked back at the king of the Yue clan and said: "I also sent someone to check the incident in the army before the month, but I didn't find anything, there is a very terrifying force in the army." After saying that, he turned his head and left.
"Still so proud. The Moon King continued.
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence in the tent, and the king of the Yue clan and Jisu Feng glanced at each other, and they saw the same idea in each other's eyes.
Ji Su Feng spoke first: "Who is the commander in the army now?"
The king of the Yue clan said with a frosty face: "Yue Duo'an, Wuyu resigned from the post of general, and Yue Duo'an is the deputy marshal, so I will let him serve as the chief general." Someone?"
Jisu Feng hurriedly said: "Shan Yu, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, Yu Hou just died, if there is a sudden change of generals, it will lead to constant suspicion among the soldiers in the army, if it is fanned by someone with a heart, the soldiers mutinied, and the Yue's family is in danger." ”
"What do you command?" said a soldier outside the account with his head bowed.
The king of the Yue clan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go down first." ”
"Yes. ”
The King of the Yue Clan thought for a while and said, "In your opinion, what should it be?"
Ji Sufeng thought for a while and said: "On the grounds that the southwest and northern borders need to be garrisoned, divide the 200,000 army into three armies, and let Yue Duoan lead 50,000 soldiers loyal to Shan Yu to protect the royal court, and then secretly investigate, slowly plotting it." ”
"Well, this plan is very good, so I will do it. King Yue said with a smile.
He also said: "Take meat and wine, this is only to get drunk with the plastic." ”
"Yes, Shan Yu. The person outside the account answered.
Jisu Feng looked at the king of the Yue clan to recover his former demeanor, and his mood was a little better, and he thought: Wuyu, you can rest assured, my brother will definitely find a murderer to avenge you, you and I have dreams, I will not forget, I will go on until the day I die.
After a few days of running, Zhuge Liang and his party finally came to Huo Quai's military camp, came to the door of the barracks, informed each other, the guards hurriedly went to report Huo Quai, Huo Qubing heard the guards say that Zhuge Liang and his party had tattered armor and bloodstains, and should have experienced a vicious battle, Huo Qubing was frightened, and hurriedly drove out of the camp.
Huo Qubing saw that Zhuge Liang didn't want to say, so he didn't ask more, and when he returned to the camp, he quickly sent someone to ask the military doctor to come over to check Zhuge Liang, and got a positive answer from the military doctor.
Zhuge Liang rested in the camp for two days, took some tonics, and recovered some of the discomfort caused by the gallop all the way. Huo Qubing saw that Zhuge Liang's face was ruddy, not as pale as when he first met, so he decided to pull out the camp and return to the Qiang tribe on the second day to join Sima Cuo.
Qin State!
Since it was rumored a month ago that the Six Kingdoms were going to attack Qin again, the entire Qin State was shrouded in an invisible dark cloud, whether it was the poor people or the princes and nobles, there were many smiles, and they all felt a sense of depression that was about to come, especially since the Qin State still had 100,000 troops fighting in the west, and it had been several months, and the imperial court had neither issued a notice or released any good news, which made the people even more optimistic about this war.
There are even rumors among the people that Yingzheng has just ascended the throne, and instead of cultivating himself and establishing virtue to protect the world, he will start a war and provoke trouble, and he will definitely be a king without virtue and a cruel king in the future.
Since the Shang Jun changed the law, the Qin State has determined the 20-level military merit system, killing the enemy for meritorious service, killing the enemy fiefdom, killing the enemy and the marquis, making the Qin people fierce and fearless of death, many men hope that they can go into battle to kill the enemy, and the meritorious service is a hidden descendant of the marquis, and a few people don't want to. Therefore, this rumor is just used by the people as a talking point, how can they take it to heart, let alone believe it.
Qin State! Xianyang City!
Today, before dawn, the rooster crows, and the mansions of officials above the sixth grade in Xianyang City are already brightly lit. You can see many officials wearing official hats and uniforms, going out, getting into the carriage, the carriage out of the mansion is the alley, the carriage in the alley is like a small snake into the street, the carriage in the street is like a small dragon, and the dragon merges into the main road of Xianyang, and the main road can pass ten carriages side by side, one carriage after another. Arriving at the gate of the royal palace is like a long queue.
At the gate of the palace, many officials will greet each other when they meet familiar colleagues, everyone's face is full of smiles, such a scene has never appeared after the Western Expedition, and now it seems that there should be some great joy, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and they will smile brightly like flowers.
A "crunch" sounded.
The officials who were still talking closed their mouths, the palace gate slowly opened, and Zhao Gao came out with a few attendants, and bowed to Shang Ying in front of the ministers and said, "Shang Shoufu, please lords." ”
After speaking, he led the way in front, Shang Jun stepped forward, behind him was Zhang Yi, Cai Ze, and then behind was the old Tingwei of the Tingwei Mansion, the Imperial History of the Imperial History Mansion, and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War. To the right of Shang Yang is the Marquis Wei Ran, followed by Meng Ao and Zhu Liji, and then some generals.
Zhangtai Palace!
The ministers divided the civil and military to kneel left and right, quietly waiting for the arrival of Yingzheng.
"The king has arrived. ”
Zheng He's voice sounded outside the hall, the ministers got up and bowed to salute, Ying Zheng went straight, the ministers turned one hundred and eighty degrees, Ying Zheng knelt and sat on the throne, and the ministers saluted: "The king is ten thousand years." ”
Ying Zheng replied: "Ministers, please take a seat." ”
"Thank you. The ministers bowed again, and then sat down on their knees.
Zheng Heben stood behind Ying Zheng on the left, and when he saw the ministers finishing their seats, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Discussion." ”
The ministers solemnly straightened their waists, Shang Ying held the ivory card, and arched his hand: "Enlighten my king: Sima Cuo's army defeated the Qiang people more than ten days ago, captured the Qiang people Shan Yu, the Qiang people Shan Yu decided to submit to my Qin country, and the Di people saw that the Qiang people were willing to submit to the Qin country, become the Qin people, and serve my king as the master." Now the envoys of the Qiang and Di clans are in the Xianyang Post House. Today's discussion is how to deal with the Qiang and Di tribes. ”
The ministers of the court and the central government said in their hearts: Here it is.
The ministers in the palace, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to speak first, they naturally got the news a long time ago, not only did they think about it, but also passed each other with some ministers, but Ying Zheng has not shown anything at present, and when he doesn't know Ying Zheng's thoughts, no one wants to be the first bird.
