58 and Shibi
Tens of thousands of Zhao troops in Handan City all drove out of the East City Gate, and the weapons they laid down were piled up into several mountains! They went to the military judge to register and transported the countless grains stored by the Qin State in Sanchuan County, Nanyang County, Yingchuan County, and Sanchuan County in exchange for corn and Qi, Chu, and Wei to all parts of the Zhao State to help the people of Zhao survive the famine!
Wang Jian sent an army of 150,000 into Handan, inspected every corner, and then told Guo Kai that tomorrow, the king of Qin would come to the palace of King Zhao to surrender!
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of King Qin, the streets of Handan City of Zhao State were cleaned spotlessly, and the thick red carpet was supplemented from outside the east gate to the palace of King Zhao, and on both sides stood the straight lieutenant army of Qin State. There were also two thousand secret guards mixed with the people watching on both sides. Guo Kai, the prime minister of Zhao State, took Handan officials to the east gate to greet the king of Qin. The king of Qin wore a balance crown on his head and a crown robe, sitting majestically on the king's chariot, behind him were civil officials riding in the car, and military generals riding horses! In front and behind, there were a thousand lieutenants carefully selected by Montenegro, dressed in brand-new armor, lined up in four neat rows, and walked towards the royal city with neat steps. The people of Zhao on both sides were all amazed when they saw it: "No wonder you can't beat it, compared with the Zhao Guards, the difference between the Zhao Guards and the Qin Army is too far!" ”
Guo Kai knelt at the gate of the city with his cronies and ministers, thinking that the king of Qin would get out of the king's car and help him to ride the king's car into the city to show that the king of Qin loves talent and courtesy. Unexpectedly, King Qin's royal car didn't stop at all, and he didn't even glance at them. It wasn't until the last guards who entered the city also passed, and a group of people didn't know where to go, that they saw a weak run and said, "King Qin is already waiting in the palace, please go and bring King Zhao to surrender and hand over the seal!" ”
"See! At the critical moment, King Qin still has to use the old minister! Let's go, come with me and call King Zhao. Guo Kai said happily to the dozens of people around him. Everyone resigned themselves and followed Guo Kai to King Zhao's bedroom. Zhao Wangqian, who was under house arrest, was coaxed and tricked, put on a crown and crown, and took him to the main hall in a cluster.
Zhao Qian has never been out of the dormitory since Li Mu was forced to die! When he saw that the clothes of the soldiers had turned black, he asked:
"Prime Minister, when did the Praetorian Guards change into black clothes!"
After entering the main hall, he asked, "Are these black-clothed officials newly promoted ministers?" Why don't you know any of them? After speaking, he saw a majestic man sitting on his throne, so he shouted again: "Prime Minister, who is that person, and why is he sitting in my place?" Pull him out and cut him down! ”
When King Qin and all the civil and military officials heard this, they couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Guo Kai smiled awkwardly at everyone, and hurriedly said to Zhao Wangqian: "Don't talk nonsense, it's King Qin who is sitting above." Go and see you, King Qin has a lot of rewards. ”
Zhao Wangqian is not stupid, he immediately understood! scolded loudly: "Bold Guo Kai, thanks to your father and widow trust you so much, it turns out that you are the great traitor, you sold Zhao Guo!" ”
When the king of Qin heard this, he burst into laughter again, and the cronies who were with Guo Kai were so ashamed that they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into!
Guo Kai had no choice but to say to Zhao Wangqian with a sideways face: "Zhao Guo is dead!" Hurry up and hand over the king's seal to the king of Qin, ask for forgiveness, and enjoy wealth forever! After speaking, Guo Kai took the seal of King Zhao from the people around him and handed it to Zhao Wangqian.
Zhao Wangqian burst into tears, took the Wang Yin, and cried: "The widow is wrong to blame Wu Anjun!" The prime minister is the big traitor. "Nineteen-year-old Zhao Wangqian, lying on the ground and regretting it was too late, and after a while, he sat up straight and held the king seal in both hands! No one laughed this time, perhaps to save Li Mu.
Zhao Gao took the seal and handed it to King Qin. King Qin didn't look at it, and said: "Zhao Qian, you are still King Zhao, you are too tired to manage the country, let someone take care of it for you!" You will take all your wives and relatives and move to Xianyang, all the Zhao royal families and nobles will go together, and set off today! Our Qin Zhao was originally a family, with the same ancestors and roots, and in the future, we will live together in Xianyang, and we will really become a family. Come on, send King Zhao back to the palace to prepare! ”
This year is 228 B.C., the nineteenth year of the reign of the king, and the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of the reign of King Zhao. Qin annihilated Zhao, and Zhao died.
After sending Zhao Qian away, the king of Qin ordered: "Prime Minister Wang Juan will receive all the archives of Zhao and integrate the statistics of officials from all over the country." Zheng Guo received the treasury of Zhao State and the official warehouses in various places. Li Si, the court lieutenant, was responsible for selecting and dispatching capable cadres and gradually implementing the Qin law. Spring rush arrived immediately, and Datian ordered to immediately arrange people to go down to supervise the farming! ”
"No!" The ministers answered!
The king of Qin ordered again: "Divide the state of Zhao into Yanmen County, Taiyuan County, Changshan County, Julu County, Handan County, and Ye County." Wang Qian's army was stationed in the above counties to recuperate. ”
"No!" Wang Jian replied, and said: "Zhao State only has Daijun left to conquer. Daijun Mountain High Road Insurance, the original 50,000 garrisons, and now there are 70,000 more Li Zuoche! I heard that Zhao Guogongzi Jia also fled to Daijun with thousands of people! Is it a one-shot attack? ”
"I didn't want to lead my troops to attack Daijun!" Li Xin, Yang Duanhe, and at the same time, please order.
"What do the lieutenants and fake generals think!" King Qin asked.
"Daijun Mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and now it is attacked, and the grain has to be transferred from Guanzhong, which is too costly. It is difficult for a county to become a climate. It's not too late to wait until next year's autumn harvest. Now it's time for the 300,000 migrant workers to go home and get busy. Wei Yu said.
"That's what I thought!" Wang Jian replied.
"Then it's decided, the law of the Shang monarch is only to plough and fight, ploughing is before the war, and ploughing is far more important than war! It's time for the soldiers to take turns returning home to visit their families! King Qin said.
Guo Kai saw that King Qin had been talking with all the civil and military officials for a long time, and no one mentioned him, so he felt very uncomfortable! After finding the space, he stood up and saluted to King Qin: "Your Majesty, Great Qin can annex Zhao so quickly, and I and our subordinates have made a lot of efforts, especially in order to get rid of Li Mu, we have all tried our best!" I hope that the king will be rewarded slightly, and the name of the king of Qin has been respected! ”
King Qin stood up and walked to the side of dozens of ministers. He was in a daobly figure, looked at everyone, with a strange smile on his face, and said: "Guo Kai and Prime Minister Guo, what you have done has indeed made immortal contributions to Great Qin!" Don Weak has already reported the list of meritorious people to the widow! There is another very important thing that you people can't do! I wonder if you're willing to help the widows? ”
"I am willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and I will never give up!" Guo Kai and his cronies and subordinates said in unison.
"Good! All I want is your loyalty! Since the division of the three families, it has been one hundred and seventy-five years since Zhao Liehou moved to Zhao Wangqian, and the hatred of the people of Zhao for the destruction of the country is definitely not small! Go and comfort the widows. King Qin said.
Obviously, King Qin wanted to let the raging anger of the Zhao people vent on Guo Kai and the others, and alleviate their hatred for the Qin State! Guo Kai and the others woke up and immediately fell to the ground and cried and begged for mercy.
"Montenegro, I'll leave this matter to you!" King Qin didn't bother to take a look, and said coldly to Black Mountain, and actually left! The ministers withdrew from the hall one after another!
Montenegro asked Dun weak to stay and help, called all his subordinates, and ordered: "Take them down, treat them well, don't wronged all the heroes!" ”
Then he turned to the weak and saluted, and said, "Please help me with the pedestrian order, and tell me about the loyal traitors of these vassals!" ”
Don weakly took out a silk book full of names from his bosom! Give it to Montenegro. said: "I'll leave this to you, and you'll see it at a glance!" ”
Montenegro took the list, took a look at it, and was overjoyed, which was full of the names, positions, and details of the bribes received from the Qin State. Hurriedly thanked Don Weak, and said, "Thank you for the pedestrian order!" In the battle to destroy Zhao, you and the general should be the first to take the lead! ”
When he heard this, he was very pleased, and said: "But if I want to do my part to dominate the world, the credit is not what I want." Those who came with Guo Kai today are all Guo Kai's party, and it must be right to arrest them. Judge the rest! With that, he took his leave and left!
Montenegro confiscated all the homes of Guo Kai and his party, imprisoned all those whose families had positions, and dismissed slaves and servants. Men and women without official positions were sent to the army as slaves. The crimes of these people and the time of their execution were announced to every village in Zhao State!
Montenegro copied Guo Kai's list of the party's family and handed it to King Qin, King Qin looked at it, smiled and said to the weak beside him: "In the past two years, I have given you three million gold and more than ten carts of treasures. Today, he has returned 60 million gold, and countless treasures! You look at this list, if there are any other ministers of the four countries who like it, I wouldn't mind storing these treasures in their warehouses, as long as they are happy! ”
King Qin's words made the ministers present laugh!
"Your Majesty, I will send two treasures, and you will definitely be reluctant to give away these two treasures!" Montenegro said.
"What kind of baby? Could it be the Empress Dowager? The widow heard that she pulled many ministers into the bed, especially Zhao Cong was so fascinated that she couldn't find the north, so that Guo Kai had a chance to get rid of Li Mu! King Qin said with a smile.
When the ministers heard this, they all laughed!
"This is a treasure copied from the secret room in Guo Kai's mansion, and Shibi!" Montenegro said, handing over a large, beautifully carved wooden box with a seal.
"Open it and take a look!" King Qin ordered excitedly.
Zhao Gao took the wooden box, tore off the seal in front of everyone, opened the wooden box, and took out an item wrapped in red silk. Unraveling the silk, a large piece of crystal clear white jade immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Montenegro saw it and was surprised. In the illustration of the text of "Will Xianghe" in later generations, Heshibi is clearly a round jade, and this Heshibi is clearly a large piece of unpolished jade.
Everyone admired the beauty of the jade, which was white and flawless, with a piece of blood red on it. Legend has it that it was Bian He's blood.
King Qin solemnly gave a salute to He's Bi, asked Zhao Gao to put it away, turned his head and asked Hei Shandao, "What about another treasure?" Let's bring it together! ”
"The other baby I said is surnamed Uncle Leming, after Le Yang, the great-great-grandson of Changguo Jun Le Yi! He has been Li Mu's deputy general for more than ten years, and has great prestige in the border army of Zhao State! Montenegro introduced.
"Your Majesty, this person has led the army to confront me for more than a year without any flaws, and he is definitely an excellent general!" Wang Ben also said.
"To be able to recommend both of you at the same time, it must be the widow's favorite baby. Montenegro, you take Xiao Gaozi to go, and invite you to see the widow with the king of horses! King Qin said.
King Qin and Wei Yu met with Uncle Le together, and gave Uncle Le Zuo Gengjue and served as General Yunzhong.
Two days later, Ting Wei Li Si personally executed Guo Kai and his party outside the east gate of Handan, and there were thousands of empty alleys in Handan City, and many people came from all over the country to watch the execution, and more than 200,000 people crowded both sides of the road and the Dharma field! More than 1,000 people from Guo Kai's party went from prison to the execution ground, and the angry Zhao people on both sides spat on them to relieve their hatred, and when they arrived at the execution ground, these people were already filthy! In the sound of more than 100,000 people shouting at the same time, he was beheaded! The people did not spare the corpses, they rushed over and continued to kick and spit on the corpses! It lasted until the evening, when the angry crowd left! The corpses on the ground have been turned beyond recognition and have become pulp! I had to bury it on the spot and use it as fertilizer in the ground!
"It's the first time since I became a court lieutenant that a prisoner has been executed like this!" Li Si was full of emotion!
"Lord Tingwei, they are rebels and thieves! It deserves to end like this! "Montenegro said the four words of rebellious ministers and thieves very seriously, because he knew that Li Si in history was worse than Guo Kai's fate, and the whole clan was killed!
The lieutenant army and Lang Weijun led by Montenegro, as representatives of the triumphant division, escorted the Qin king's chariot back to Xianyang, and when they came out, there were more than 18,000 people, and when they returned, only more than 12,000 people remained. In total, more than 3,000 people were killed and more than 2,000 were disabled. But these did not affect the worship of heroes, Xianyang is still ten thousand empty alleys, from the east gate ten miles outside the east gate through the east gate to the lieutenant army camp, both sides of the battle is full of welcoming crowds. Since every time they come back from a battle, they almost always walk through the East Gate, and people are used to calling the East Gate the Victory Gate! More than 10,000 people, divided into more than 10 teams of 1,000 people, entered Xianyang, each team of 1,000 people was neat and majestic. Attracted countless admiration!
Back at Xianyang's house, my mother first checked Montenegro up and down, and now Montenegro is already a strong man who is more than 1.8 meters tall and weighs 170 pounds, and this mother is much taller! I had to half-squat and let my mother take a closer look. Make sure that there is not a single hair missing from the body. Montenegro said comfortingly: "Grandma, you have to worry, your son is now a general, he doesn't even have to draw a sword when he fights, and there is Zhang Jin with more than a thousand people around him to guard day and night, and it is difficult to get hurt!" ”
"I heard that a great general of Zhao was shot into a hedgehog by an arrow! Can I not worry about you? The mother nagged, took Montenegro's hand and walked into the house, and said, "In the days when you are away, many ladies have come to our house with their daughters!" I see that they are all like flowers. I've asked them to come to our house as guests these days, you take a sneak look, which one you like, I'll ask someone to go and say it right away! ”
"Grandma, don't worry about my business first, wait for another two years, and in two years, I will definitely marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a few big fat boys!" Montenegro said.
"Two years to wait? You are nineteen years old, and when Zhang Jin was your age, he had two sons! Now his daughter-in-law is about to give birth again! Zhang Jin's parents also came to Xianyang some time ago, and I was so happy that I was almost envious to death! Are you still thinking about that princess? She's pretty, but she's too far away! Maybe she'll get married early! ”
"Grandma, you don't have to look at others, didn't the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law also give birth to five grandchildren for you? The second sister-in-law's belly must also be a big fat boy! Don't worry about me yet! I just came back, and I have a lot of business, so I'll go to the yamen to see Mr. Li Shiqi first! Montenegro couldn't stand his mother's nagging, so he had to run away from home!
A few days later, the court rewarded meritorious deeds, and Montenegro was promoted to a sixteenth-level master. His subordinates, Shi Fatzi and the carpenter, are all sealed as the tenth-level left chief! He was transferred to Taiyuan County and Changshan County as generals! In addition, more than 20 subordinates with the rank of 8th rank duke will be sent to various counties to serve as county lieutenants. And Meng Hao, Dong Jian, Brother Ahei, Mi Long, Meatloaf, and Zhang Jin are all ninth-level five masters, and Montenegro is trying his best to stay by his side. In the Qin army, there are all the big doctors, but there are very few literate people among the big doctors! And the soldiers of Montenegro, because from the beginning let everyone learn literacy every day! For more than two years, many people have become coarse and literate. Therefore, Montenegro's subordinates are very sought-after. After all, Prime Minister Wang Juan is most worried about how to make up for the lack of officials in the counties and counties of Zhao State!
Shi Fatzi and the carpenter have always been Montenegro's right-hand men, and when they were transferred, Montenegro's flesh hurt tightly! At the end of work, Miron suggested: "Let's go to Salted Fish House for a drink in the evening, and practice it for Shi Fat Man and the carpenter!" What do you think? ”
"Drink once! Until now, do you dare to say that you drank alcohol once? What a conscience! Montenegro was full of nameless fire and had nowhere to vent, so he had to scold Mi Long, "There are so many people who want to leave Lao Tzu at once, how can you drink it once?" Drink at least three nights! ”
"No, drink three nights in a row!" Everyone replied excitedly that since Sister-in-law Mi got rid of the salted fish house, Montenegro rarely drinks outside! I usually drink a lot in the house!
The plaque at the entrance of the house has been changed, and the words "Da Shang Mansion" are shining! Montenegro returned home, changed into a black cloth robe, and went out with a few of his men! Mother hurriedly ran over to stop it! said: "There is a distinguished guest coming tonight, and the family banquet has been prepared, you can't leave!" ”
"My dear mother! I really don't have time tonight, just spend time with them! I have business at night, three days in a row! I'll go first, don't talk about my marriage in front of the guests! After Montenegro finished speaking, he slipped away with everyone! In the past few days, almost every day, a lady has come to Montenegro to visit the door, and talk to her mother about Montenegro's marriage in a roundabout way! It's annoying for Montenegro!
"Zhang Jin, you help me figure out a way! It made those people die, so that I don't want to go back to my house now! Montenegro said.
"Isn't it good to marry a daughter-in-law? If it weren't for the fact that we often went to see Widow Zhang taking a bath together when we were children, I would have thought you had a problem! Where is there a man who doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law at the age of nineteen! Zhang Jin said that he often bragged to other people that when he was a child, he often took Montenegro to peek at women taking baths.
"You've got to figure it out for me! Otherwise, I'll take you to the vet and let you see enough of the fairy in white every day!" Montenegro said, "The veterinarian was transferred back to Meng Tian last year, and there are a lot of beauties from the Western Regions around him, and you will be beautiful when the time comes!" ”
Montenegro said casually, Zhang Jin touched his head, and complained to himself: "This black boy is so ruthless, you asked me to do it yourself, don't blame us when the time comes!" ”
The new owner of Salted Fish House has expanded the Salted Fish again, and the decoration is more luxurious, and the hall on the first floor is three times the size of the previous one! Montenegrin people are coming one after another, and they occupy a quarter of the positions!
As soon as he sat down, Miron shouted to the beautiful maid, "Roast lamb, stewed venison, and good wine!" ”
"Okay, please wait, guest officers! Come now! ”
The beautiful maid said.
"Can I ask your principal to come along? I'm booking for three nights! Montenegro explained to the maid!
When the maid heard that there was a big business coming to her door, she immediately smiled and said, "Wait a minute, guest officer, I'll invite you right away!" ”
After a while, the maid came over with a middle-aged man with a short and fat body, a figure-eight beard, and shrewd eyes! introduced: "Guest officer, this is our treasurer!" If you have any requirements, you can talk to our shopkeeper! ”
"Huai shopkeeper, how much money does it cost to sell wine and food on the best night of Salted Fish House's business?" Montenegro asked.
"Guest officer, these are the secrets of our store, the guest officer asked, but do you have a heart? Our store is not going to sell! The shopkeeper bowed to Montenegro and replied very politely.
"I don't have an interest in this store, I want to book three nights, how much will it cost?"
"There are 400 seats in the lobby of the store, and there are 30 private rooms on the second floor, and there are 200 seats. The chartered venue includes 600 people with high-quality dishes, 300 jars of wine, and 300 gold for one night. ”
"How about starting in the evening, 1,000 servings of high-quality dishes and 1,000 jars of wine, for three consecutive nights, a total of 1,500 gold?" Montenegro said.
"Guest officer, I'm afraid it won't work today, it's already decided!" The shopkeeper said!
"Just prepare the wine and food according to the above amount! Regardless of raw customers and regular customers, they are still received, charged at the original price, tonight's revenue is less than 500 gold, I make up for it, and the part that exceeds 500 gold is my income, how about it? Montenegro said.
"Guest officer, such a charter is unheard of, four hundred and fifty gold is enough, but this empty talk has no basis! Look at ......," the shopkeeper said a little worriedly.
"You're worried I'm talking nonsense!" Montenegro untied the treasure knife at his waist, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said: "Just do as you say, use this knife as a guarantee, you just go and prepare!" ”
The shopkeeper took the treasure knife, looked at it, returned it to Montenegro, and said: "This treasure knife is worth more than a thousand gold, it is already a blessing to have someone today, and it is not used as a guarantee, I believe that the guest officer will do what the guest officer said!" "The shopkeeper is well-informed and has excellent eyesight. Someone who can match this knife will definitely not care too much about hundreds of gold!
