Ziying left the palace and rode straight to the east of Xianyang City, wearing a royal robe, which caused the people on the side of the road to kowtow and bow down.

He was a little happy, but also a little scared.

This time he went to Bashu to prevent the people in Guannai from starving to death next year, and he felt that he deserved to bow down. But the Qin soldiers who fought bloodily were from among the common people, and he was just a person who gave orders.

"One will become famous and ten thousand bones will wither, and one will dominate and a hundred will die..."Ziying thought about it and muttered, "Ci is not in charge of soldiers, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth." Maybe the high-ranking Ming Jun is the coexistence of killing and benevolence, right? ”

Under the whip of the horse, Ziying has arrived in Dongcheng, holding the reins and looking around for the melon seller.

He probably knew what kind of melon Cai Wei was talking about - Zhaoping melon, and he could even guess the name of the person who sold the melon - Zhaoping.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were four records about Zhaoping.

He didn't know which one was the summons, or if the four summons belonged to the same person.

One of them is the Marquis of Dongling, who was personally appointed by the first emperor, and guarded the tombs of Zhao Ji and King Zhuangxiang. After the destruction of Qin, Xianyang City was also destroyed by Xiang Yu, and he sold melons in the east of Chang'an City in later generations.

Second, he is the leader of Chen Sheng, who does not do much, but he influences the general trend of the world! led the army to attack Guangling, and the support of the Qin soldiers arrived. Zhao Ping was in a hurry, and in the name of Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang was named the king of Chu Shangzhu Kingdom, so Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu led 8,000 soldiers to the west...

Third, after Han Xin's "defeat and Xiao He", Liu Bang wanted to reward Xiao He, Xiao He was persuaded by the doorman Zhaoping, did not ask for any reward, and donated his family wealth to the army, Liu Bang was overjoyed.

Fourth, he is the prime minister of Liu Xiang, the eldest son of Liu Bang's illegitimate son Liu Fei, who holds the military power tiger talisman. Liu Xiang wanted to send troops to punish Lu, but after Zhaoping learned about it, he was afraid that Liu Xiang would come and lead troops to surround the palace of Qi. As a result, Liu Xiang Zhongwei Wei Bo deceived the military power, surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhaoping committed suicide.

If Zhaoping, who sold melons, was only the Marquis of Tanglin, and Ziying wanted to reuse him, the loyal ministers of Qin who died should be rewarded.

However, if you get in touch with Xiao He, Chen Sheng and others, things are not so simple.

If you become Liu Xiang's prime minister again when you are old...

Ziying shook his head, there was still no way to link these records together, not to mention that the Qin Dynasty had not yet been destroyed, and it may not be Zhaoping who sold melons now.

Among the people who knelt down, there was a woman in black with a slender figure and a golden melon to nibble on, which was Cai Wei.

The middle-aged melon farmer with a long beard knelt down and whispered something, and Cai Wei, who was concentrating on gnawing melons, turned his head to find the child.

"If the king doesn't go to train his troops, why did he come to the east of the city, won't he also come for melons?" Cai Wei teased, with melon seeds hanging from the corners of her mouth.

"Girl, don't say it, get down on your knees." The melon farmer hurriedly said, "Throw away the sword too, the king hates chivalry the most." ”

"This girl is not."

"It's... Alas. ”

Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, the melon farmer had no choice but to shut up, and had already imagined the tragic situation of Cai Wei being tortured.

Ziying walked to the melon stall and picked up a melon casually, "It is also fortunate that there are melons to eat in autumn and winter." How is this melon sold? ”

"Back to the king, this melon..."The melon farmer bowed slightly.

"This girl asks the king." Cai Wei said with a smile, "They all say that the king is a benevolent monarch, why don't you even pay attention to the people's questions, I don't know if it's in vain?" ”

"It's a clever tongue." Ziying said with white eyes.

"It's better than some people, it's chilling to persuade others with rhetoric and bother to even bother to visit now." Cai Wei wiped the corners of her mouth and choked back.

"Hahaha..."Ziying couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at? What did this girl say? Cai Wei's thin sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

Ziying didn't answer, and quietly looked at Cai Wei's confused appearance.

The melon farmer kneeling on the ground shook his head and sighed unconsciously, and he had already imagined in his mind the romance of Ziying coaxing the ignorant folk girl.

Cai Wei threw down the melon skin and looked at the melon farmer, "Uncle, do you know what he means?" ”

"It's... This... The villain doesn't know. The melon farmer shrank back.

"Tell me if you know, and the widow will forgive you without sin. But if you don't know, you will be punished. Ziying smiled,

"It's... This sentence of 'clever tongue like a spring' comes from the Book of Songs. Lesser. Clever words", the next sentence is 'Yan Zhihou also'..."

"Ziying, you still dare to laugh at this girl!"

Cai Wei wanted to draw her sword, but the melon farmer hurriedly got up and blocked in front of Zi Yingma.

"Old man get out of the way, he is the brazen person, this girl has to teach him today!" Cai Wei shouted.

"Help the widow take him down." Ziying suddenly laughed evilly.

"This..."The melon farmer was a little helpless, "The villain doesn't know martial arts, so the king should return to the palace quickly." ”

Cai Wei smiled disdainfully, "Didn't you learn swordsmanship, you have the courage to compete." ”

"Madame misunderstood, the widow let Madame take down this melon farmer." Ziying smiled, "He's a Great Qin sinner that the widow has been looking for for a long time!" ”

"So uncle, you are a fugitive?!" Cai Wei's face turned cold, and she twisted the sword body around the melon farmer's neck, "Say, what did you do?" ”

"Huh? This..."The melon farmer hurriedly raised his hands, and suddenly felt that he couldn't guard against it, this girl was actually Daqin's wife, and she came to arrest him with Ziying.

"King Mingjian, Mrs. Mingjian, the villain is wronged!" The melon farmer cried and mourned.

"Wronged? You didn't guard the tomb of King Zhuangxiang, but ran back to Xianyang to sell melons, isn't this a dereliction of duty? It's a waste of the First Emperor to seal your throne! Ziying reproached.

Even if ordinary people know the upper and lower sentences of "clever tongue like a spring", it is impossible to understand the source so clearly, the identity of the melon farmer is definitely not ordinary, plus this strange melon, Ziying is sure that he is Zhaoping.

"Does the king know about the villain?" Zhaoping was taken aback.

"Uncle, if you are guilty, admit it quickly, don't beat around the bush." Cai Wei advised.

"The villain is really wronged, the last time Xiang Yu threatened the king with the Lishan Mausoleum, Commander Li Xin sent Qin soldiers to replace the villain." Zhaoping hurriedly explained, "Only then can the villain come back and sell melons." ”

"Oh? That's right. Ziying sneered, "In less than a month, the Marquis of Tanglin can grow melons when the weather is cold and freezing, and the widow really admires it." ”

"These melons were planted by the son of the villain, and they were stored from this summer to this time, not by the villain." The melon farmer said urgently.

Cai Wei reached out and picked up the melon and handed it to Ziying.

Ziying took it and looked at it carefully, the storage was a little weak, and there were faint traces of frostbite on the melon.

"What's wrong with this melon?" Ziying asked, what the normal melons and aventurine melons of the Qin Dynasty looked like, he had never seen them.

"Nothing special except for sweetness." Cai Wei pondered.

"This is an ordinary melon, girl... Mrs. hasn't eaten melons for a long time, so she feels extra sweet. Zhaoping explained.

"In this way, the widow is still to blame the Marquis of Tanglin, and the widow can't compensate here." Ziying arched his hand.

"It's a villain, isn't it, the villain didn't tell the king when he returned." Zhao Ping smiled with relief, "If the king is fine, the villain will give the melons to the lady, and then he will go home." ”

Zhao Ping slowly moved away from Cai Wei's sword, and turned his head to leave.

"Stop!" Ziying shouted violently, "The widow only said that the wrong melon was planted by the Marquis of Tanglin, and there are still some things that have not been asked." The dignified Tanglin Marquis of Daqin, there should be a lot of food estates, and now he is braving the cold to sell melons, the reason for this, do you have to ask the widow one by one? ”

Cai Wei raised his sword to block Zhaoping's way.

"It's... The world rebelled, and Hu Hai took back the villain's food for the sake of crusade, so he fell to this. Zhaoping fell to his knees again.

"Hu Hai? Hu Hai accepted your throne, so you were jealous and hated, followed Chen Sheng when he rebelled, and in order to attack Qin, he also sealed Xiang Liang as the Shangzhu State, right?! Ziying shouted coldly, "After Chen Sheng died, you didn't take a good look at Xiang Yu and the others, so you secretly returned to the pass, yes or no?!" ”

Zhaoping was at a loss, and there was no way to ask for help, "What the king said, the villain can't understand it!" ”

"Then where is the Marquis of Tanglin from?"

"Chudi... Guangling. Zhaoping replied cautiously.

"That's right." Ziying said with a smile, "Chen Sheng's commander is also from Guangling. What a marquis of Tanglin, he is really bold enough! ”

Cai Wei listened to Ziying's words and was slightly puzzled.

"Maybe it's someone with the same name and surname?" Cai Wei asked.

Ziying didn't answer, and kept speculating in his heart.

Qin destroyed Hanli, Liu Bang only knew that Zhaoping was a tomb guard, and did not call it. Xiao He was well-informed and heard of the name of the Zhaoping Uprising, so he recruited him to his side for his own use, also to prevent Liu Bang's murderous intentions.

Xiao He would die thirteen or fourteen years later, and in the same year Liu Fei also died, and his son Liu Xiang became the king of Xinqi, and Zhaoping rushed from Chang'an to Linzi. Because Zhaoping had helped Xiao He, he was also reused by Liu Xiang to become the prime minister...

Zhaoping's act of planting melons has Taoist colors, and Liu Xiang's prime minister Zhaoping also said when he died, "Wow! The Taoist saying 'When you are interrupted, you will suffer from its chaos', which is also true. ”

Ziying thinks that his guess is feasible, and these four "Zhaoping" are not idle people, but the melon farmer Zhaoping does not admit it, and he can't bend into a move.

"The king really wronged the villain, and the villain was still guarding the tomb of King Zhuangxiang when Chen Sheng rebelled." Zhaoping said in a hurry, wanting to kowtow and beg for mercy, but was stopped by Cai Wei.

Cai Wei looked at Zhao Ping, but she couldn't see that he looked like he could rebel.

"Ziying, you may have really wronged him." Cai Wei interceded.

Ziying didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly, just by Zhaoping's sale of melons, he might also be appreciated by Xiao He, as for the subsequent incident of Prime Minister Liu Xiang, it didn't happen yet, it didn't matter.

The key is whether Zhaoping participated in Chen Sheng's rebellion.

This is the difference between a loyal minister and a rebel.

The person who can pretend to be in the name of Chen Ping to seal Xiang Liang as the Shangzhu country should not only have a faint stroke, but there should be a clear record of life or death...

But... There are not many records of Cao Wuxian, the key figure of the Hongmen Banquet, and the famous commander Pu is always hidden, and there are too many unknowns in this era.
