Chapter 40: The Emperor

Qin State, Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study.

On the throne, Yingzheng was as majestic as ever, but there was a lingering sadness between his eyebrows, and there was a raging anger in his eyes.

Under the jade steps, Li Si and Feng Qu stood with their hands down, a trace of deep fear crossed their eyes, and Zhao Gao on the side still knocked his eyes slightly as if he was asleep, but asked anything.

Gently put the music in his hand aside, his eyes swept over the two prime ministers who had followed him for many years, and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Feng Quji, as the right minister, you are in charge of internal affairs, Jing Ke assassinated the widow, but you didn't check at all, you are very competent as the right minister."

"And you, Li Si, as the left minister, took over the foreign affairs, Yan Dan planned to assassinate the widow, but you didn't even get the slightest bit of information, and you, the left minister, also did a good job!"

"Weichen has neglected to put the king in danger, please punish the king!" Li Si and Feng Quji knelt on the ground together and pleaded guilty.

"Hmphβ€”is it all over with a plead? Now it's time to make up for your mistakes with actions, and immediately send a message to King Yan, asking him to send Yan Dan's head to Xianyang, otherwise I will wait for my Daqin's iron horse! ”

"Yesβ€”"

"Moreover, Jing Ke can carry the murder weapon into Xianyang Palace so lightly, which shows that this forbidden palace is not very peaceful, Feng Quji, you are in charge of the Tingwei Mansion, you must give the widow a thorough investigation At this time, once investigated, severe punishment will not be granted!"

"Old minister, obey the orderβ€”" Feng replied.

"Li Si, there was a fire in Concubine Li's Palace yesterday, and now the results can be found."

"King Qiyu, according to the report, the reason for the fire in the Lifei Palace was that a candlestick was accidentally knocked over, which ignited the curtain and led to a fire." Saying this, Li Si paused slightly, and glanced at King Qin's face lightly from the corner of his eye.

"Go on, what else?" Seeing that Li Si paused, Ying Zheng looked a little impatient at the moment.

"Yes, when the fire was extinguished, Concubine Li and Tianming Gongzi had already died, and the bodies had been burned beyond recognition by the fire and could not be recognized, but judging from the relics at the scene, it was the remains of the two of them, just 、、、、"

"It's just what, why bumper?"

"King Qiyu, it's just that among the relics of Concubine Li's mother and Gongzi, I didn't find the personal jade pendant of Tianming Gongzi." Li Si was speechless after speaking, just quietly waiting for King Qin's decision.

"Oh? You mean, Tianming Gongzi's personal jade pendant is gone! King Qin was slightly surprised when he heard this, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and asked out loud.

"King Qiyu, according to the report, I have indeed never seen the personal jade pendant of the Tianming Prince." Once again, Lees replied in the affirmative.

The right hand taps lightly on the table, although it is undulating, but it is quite rhythmic, and the palm of the hand is half clenched into a fist. No one noticed a hint of gloom flashing in King Qin's eyes.

"Alright, you guys stand down." Turning around, his hands behind his back, his faint voice without any emotion.

"The minister is retiringβ€”" Li Si and Feng Qujian replied in unison.

The two prime ministers respectfully withdrew from the imperial study, but Yingzheng just stood quietly in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

[What a Li Ji, a good Jing Ke, a good trick to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, presumably he was sent out of the palace early tomorrow, the child in the Lifei Palace had already been transferred, and he didn't think that the widow was still unconscious, it was ridiculous, ridiculous! ] Li Ji, Li Ji, I can't imagine that the widow has worked hard to get only a shell after all, but he has never been able to get your heart, you always think that the widow does not know that you are already pregnant, you are wrong, is it the flesh and blood of the widow will not know, but the widow thinks, keeping the child can keep you, unexpectedly, in the end it is still an empty ah, is this emperor who rules the world is destined to be alone! Ridiculous, pitiful, lamentable! 】。

He took a deep breath, threw away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and glanced at Zhao Gao beside him, he grew up with him, but can he really trust him? Or do you really know him perfectly?

"Zhao Gao, don't you have a flower to say to the widow, this is not like you!" Looking at Zhao Gao with blazing eyes, he seemed to have already understood what he wanted to say in his heart.

"King Qiqi, news came from the net last night, the reason why Yan Dan was able to avoid the eyes and ears of Great Qin this time is inseparable from the Mo family."

"The Mo family? What a Mohist, in today's world, hundreds of schools of thought are contending, Confucianism and Mohism are called the two great scholars in the world, I can't imagine that the Mohists are also involved, what else? ”

"King Qiqi, according to reports, this matter is entrusted to the Mo family with full authority to run with the Concubine Xue Pavilion."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the Mo family also knew how to abandon the car to protect the handsome and throw the Concubine Xue Pavilion out, but it's a pity that they underestimate Daqin too much, but since the Mo family has already done it, the widow will make an example of the chicken first!"

"What is the king going to do?"

"Order, Luo Wang will go all out to search for the core members of the Fei Xue Pavilion, and once the whereabouts are discovered, they will be killed!"

"Yesβ€”"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Kingdom, Concubine Xue Pavilion, Ziyun Xuan.

The quiet sound of the piano and the tactful sound of the flute converge here into a wonderful movement, which seems to be rigid but soft, as if lingering and compassionate, but it is clear and distinct when you listen carefully, the tacit understanding between the two is as if it is natural, seamless, and the snow scene in this garden complements each other to form a wonderful picture.

A quarter of an hour later, the sound of the piano gradually stopped, Xiao Gao and the Snow Girl looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were very happy, this has nothing to do with the love between men and women, just like Boya and the child, they are like a bosom friend.

Since the death of Kuang Xiu, Gao Yuanli has such a feeling for the first time, although Yan Hong is also good at music, but Yan Hong's innate kingly spirit is not compatible with Gao Yuanli's heroic spirit, but some rejection, so although the two are confidants, although they cooperate tacitly in the ensemble, they can never be natural, and now Gao Yanli has regained this feeling in the Snow Girl, and he is happy in his heart.

Since Xie Zhiyun faded out, the Snow Girl officially took over the Concubine Snow Pavilion, and now the nobles of the Yan Kingdom have gradually become accustomed to the Snow Girl's unique beauty, but who knows the inner world of the Snow Girl, the master left, and he supported the huge Concubine Snow Pavilion by himself, and he had to do everything himself, the feeling of exhaustion was almost overwhelming, and the loneliness and sadness in his heart became more and more intense, and it seemed that only when he played the music with Gao gradually left the ensemble, he would feel happy, every time he thought of this, the Snow Girl thought, This is the release of the mood brought by the rhythm of music, the baptism of the mood, but is it really as the Snow Girl thinks in her heart?

Perhaps, they still haven't understood what their hearts really desire, and one day when they really understand, it must be a little bit clearer.

Standing side by side, they all thought about the same person-Jing Ke was here!

Thousands of miles away in Xianyang, what is the journey of nine deaths and one life this time, more than a month has passed now, and I believe that a qiΔ“ is about to be revealed.

In the clear blue sky, a white figure gradually entered the sight of the two, and it was time to come.

Gently, the white little guy fell on Gao Yuanli's shoulder, the snow girl carefully took down the letter, and carefully unfolded the letter paper, the core technology of papermaking is still firmly in the hands of Yan Hong, and now it is only secretly used for information transmission, as for promoting it in the world, it still needs to wait for the opportunity.

The letter paper was unfolded little by little, and the words were carefully examined, and I did not dare to make the slightest mistake or omission, and after reading the letter, my heart was also cold, and the number of words was not much, only eight words.

This is the final result, and it is also the result that Xiao Gao and Xue Nu don't want to see the most, Longtan Tiger's Den, the game of nine deaths and one life, and in the end, Jing Ke still didn't hold that glimmer of life.

Tears slipped quietly, men tears!

From now on, he will gradually leave and have one less confidant, but there is one more hero in the annals of Danqing, and he firmly believes that the name Jing Ke will be passed down through the ages.

Looking at the man who burst into tears at this time, there was an inexplicable heartache in the heart of the snow girl for some reason, this pain, came suddenly and violently, she liked to see this man's white clothes fluttering chic, she liked to play with this man's piano flute ensemble, he liked to watch this man's sword dance and killing, knowing that at this time she found that his shadow had been carved in the depths of her heart.

"If you want to cry, just cry out, but after crying, you have to be strong, I think Brother Jing doesn't want to see one in the spirit of the sky, decadent, self-defeating Gao gradually leaving!" A cold voice, a faint tone, but with a deep concern.

Quietly looking at the peerless beauty beside him, a trace of warmth rose in his heart, [Yes! Big brother doesn't want to see one, decadent me, big brother is gone, but he will go down in history, and I still have a lot of things to do, what I need is to cheer up, to be strong].

"Thank you-" There is no need to say much between confidants, a word of thanks, enough!

The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he shook his head gently, his snow-like hair danced in the wind, and there was a hint of encouragement and relief in his eyes.

The music is revived, sonorous and powerful, poignant and solemn, as if mourning the deceased heroes, the heroic soul is not far away, and the affection lasts forever!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Yan Guo, the imperial study.

Compared with the solemn sΓΉ Mu of the imperial study of the Qin Palace, Yan Wangxi's study is more magnificent, with a huge candlestick hanging on the top, which can be lit at the same time Nearly 100 butter candles, silk silk is hung on the four walls, and the pattern of splendid landscapes is painted on it, and there are more than a dozen night pearls the size of table tennis balls on the beams and pillars, which can be described as extremely luxurious, but this qiΔ“ is exchanged for the blood and sweat of the people of Yan State, and even returned it with the military expenses of Yan State.

It is such a magnificent imperial study, today's Yan Wang Xi has no intention of eating snacks as usual, and under the service of the maid, he leisurely appreciates the ancient books.

Instead, he was anxiously hiding back and forth in the room, his brows had been wrinkled into twists, and his palms were already full of sweat, at this time, the head of the inner palace hurriedly walked beside King Yan and saluted, "King Qiyu, Lord Xiangguo, Lord Yan Chunjun, Chang Guojun, and Lord Taifu are waiting outside the palace to be summoned." ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" The king of a country has lost his manners and demeanor at this time, and the country is about to die!

"Xuan-all the ministers are here!"

"Ministers - Knock to see the king" The ministers entered the imperial study and bowed up and down!

"Get up, get up, you must know the purpose of the widow who called you here, now it's just to think about what to do!"

"The king, Weichen is willing to be strong and persistent for the king, and fight to the death with the Qin State." This is what Changguo Jun Le Xian said, as a famous general Le Yi, as a soldier, he has his own integrity and arrogance, he can't agree to give Yan Dan's head to Qin State!

"You! ――――Okay, the widow knows that Chang Guojun is loyal, what about you? Obviously, he was not satisfied with Lexian's answer.

"The minister thinks that when he has invested heavily in the alliance with the Qi State and the Chu State to fight against the tyrannical Qin, there should be a glimmer of hope." This is Taifu Juwu's words, as Yan Dan's enlightenment teacher, he naturally doesn't want to see his students in a different place like this, so he can only start the method of combining and longitudinal again, but the original six countries of the Kwantung region against the tyranny of Qin are all useless, and now there are only three countries left, does this combination really work?

"Prime Minister, Uncle Wang, what are the best plans for the two of you?"

"The minister agrees with Lord Taifu's intentions, today, although the tyrannical Qin is strong, but with the strength of the three kingdoms, the tyrannical Qin does not dare to act rashly." The prime minister replied.

"Uncle Wang, why don't you speak, don't you have anything to say to the widow?"

"The king, the micro-ministers are stupid and have nothing to say."

"Hmph-you--you guys are all talking about the river on weekdays, how come you can't even think of a decent way at this real life-and-death juncture, disperse, disperse, so as not to upset the widow." At this moment, King Yan had a trace of gloom in his eyes, and he thought in his heart that he was very likely to become the king of the dead country, and he was both sad and frightened!

Standing on the jade steps with his hands in his hands, he shook his head helplessly.

"The ministers are leaving."

The others didn't notice that in the last one, King Yan made a gesture of waving a knife at Yan Chunjun, and Yan Chunjun just nodded silently.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the emperor's mental art, the most important thing is always the supreme throne!
