Chapter 8 The World Is Divided into Three Parts 84 If you want to seek your country, you must first slack your flesh and bones
Ji Xue returned to Handan, and after she finished Zhao Gao's message, Zhao Kuo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "The overall situation of the Qin State has been decided, and the old man will immediately set off to rush back to Yingshou!" ”
"There is no war in Northern Chu, why should the prince go in person? Send a general to sit in charge. Ji Xue asked puzzled.
Zhao Kuo shook his head: "Sister Xue's words are wrong! Chu and Zhao have a deep grudge, this Xiang Liang supported Changping Jun as the new king of Chu, reorganized the army, and tried to rise again, the old man expected that the two countries would have a war within ten years. The children of Jiangdong are brave and invincible, so they have to guard against it! After that, Zhao Kuo came behind Ji Xue, stretched out his hand to gently hug her, and whispered in his ear, "Sister Xue has been fighting with me for many years, and she has just returned from the Qin State, it is really hard, this time it is better to stay in Handan, and you don't have to go again." ”
"Nope! Ji Xue vowed to be with her son forever, how could she break her promise? If the son doesn't allow it, Ji Xue would rather die! Ji Xue turned around and leaned tightly into Zhao Kuo's arms, and said categorically.
"Okay, then." Zhao Kuo was insincere, but seeing that Ji Xue said so decisively, he agreed with the boat.
Zhao Kuo then asked Ji Xue to pack up and prepare to leave, and then drove to the royal city alone to bid farewell to King Zhao. didn't want to be outside the palace gate, but accidentally bumped into Liu Bang. Liu Bang is now the big celebrity in front of Zhao Wangjia, who died not long ago due to the old internal history, Zhao Wangjia made an exception for Liu Bang to fill the vacancy, so that he entered the temple of Zhao State justifiably.
"Yo! Ma Fujun! Boss! As soon as he saw Zhao Kuo, Liu Bang hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
"It's Neishi-sama." Zhao Kuo stood in the car and bowed his hand politely, and said lukewarmly, "The old man is in a hurry to enter the palace, I will not accompany him, please take care of yourself." ”
The atmosphere froze there for a while, and the corners of Liu Bang's mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and immediately stepped back with a smile on his face: "Naturally, naturally, please, boss." When Zhao Kuo's car drove away, Liu Bang suddenly restrained his smile, snorted fiercely, and then turned his head and brushed his sleeves away.
With the return of refugees one after another, the land of Northern Chu gradually returned to its former prosperity. Ten days later, when Zhao Kuo and Ji Xue returned to Yingshou again, there were almost no traces left by the war a few months ago.
Just as the two of them were walking through the street with several guards, a middle-aged young woman with a little girl suddenly caught Ji Xue's attention. Ji Xue looked back for a moment, and seeing the mother and daughter drifting apart, she hurriedly turned around and ordered to the guards beside her: "Quick, invite that mother and daughter!" ”
"Sister Xue, what's wrong?" Zhao Kuo turned his head inexplicably and looked in the direction of Ji Xue's gaze, but he didn't see anything.
It didn't take long for the guards to bring the mother and daughter to Ji Xue.
"Little Shuang? It's really you! Ji Xue lowered her head to take a closer look, and there was no hesitation at the moment, she jumped off the horse happily, stepped forward and hugged the young woman, it turned out that this young woman was the little double girl who depended on Ji Xue in the Que and Canyon back then.
Since Zhao Kuo left that day, Ji Xue entrusted Xiaoshuang to a nearby well-known hunter, and then followed him down the mountain.
Twenty years ago, all the Orion family died in the war, leaving Xiaoshuang alone in Shuyang, Wuzhong, where he survived the hunger and cold, thanks to the timely help of a son named Yu He. In order to repay the favor, Xiaoshuang married Yu He and had a son named Yu Ziqi. Six years ago, she gave birth to a daughter named Yu Miaoyi. I didn't think that the disaster would not go alone, my daughter was just one year old, and Yu He suddenly fell ill and died. Xiaoshuang, who had no support, had to leave Shuyang again with a pair of children, and came to Yingshou to join Xiang Liang, the left general who had eight friendships with Yu He, and it is now the fifth year. Xiang Liang regarded Yu Ziqi as his own and brought him into the army to sharpen, and later Huaibei was defeated, and Yu Ziqi also retreated to Jiangdong with Xiang Liang.
After listening to what happened to Xiaoshuang, Ji Xue couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I have suffered you all these years, it is better to go back to the house with me, and you don't have to go again." ”
"Thank you, sister, but General Xiang's great kindness and my mother and daughter, and now there is a letter from my son, how can my sister not go? And staying in front of her deceased husband's grave is really my sister's only wish in this life, and I beg my sister to forgive me. Xiaoshuang wiped away her tears, made a gesture towards Ji Xue and Zhao Kuo, and then took her daughter's hand, turned around and hurried away.
Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter disappearing into the vast sea of people, Ji Xue's heart was like a knife......
And on the night that Ji Xue left Qin, the mansion of Zhao Gao of the Great Qin Zhongche Mansion was also brightly lit.
"Where is Zhao Cheng?" Zhao Gao sat on the soft couch in the study with a gloomy face, a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and kept knocking on the edge of the soft couch irritably. The wild boy didn't know where he had gone, and the butler had been out looking for a whole hour, but until now there was still no news.
At this moment, a white-faced and beardless young man hurriedly ran in from outside the study: "In ...... In! Little brother is here! What does the eldest brother command? ”
In fact, Zhao Chengyuan was Zhao Gao's playmate in Zhao State when he was a teenager, and later Zhao Gao went to Qin State with Yingzheng's mother and son, and the two immediately lost contact. Until one day not long ago, a ragged homeless child suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Gao's mansion, and this person was Zhao Cheng.
At that time, Zhao Gao patted Zhao Cheng on the shoulder with a smile, enthusiastically pulled him into the mansion, and told him that he didn't have to wander around anymore, and that he Zhao Cheng would be his own brother in the future. Zhao Gao's words moved Zhao Cheng so much that he immediately swore to the sky that he would live up to Zhao Gao forever. Soon, under Zhao Gao's arrangement, Zhao Cheng successfully entered the Guowei Mansion, although he was still only a small official, but he was a hundred times better than the days of wandering and begging before.
Seeing Zhao Cheng, Zhao Gao opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't speak, he hesitated for a long time before waving his hand to signal Zhao Cheng to approach him, and whispered in his ear.
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he was overjoyed: "The eldest brother is a royal clansman, so congratulations!" ”
"Congratulations to the birds! If this matter is leaked, it will definitely be a fatal disaster! Stupid! Stupid! Zhao Gao angrily knocked the bamboo slip in his hand at Zhao Cheng's head, and after a long while, Zhao Gao suddenly asked, "You say, I take the throne of the King of Qin, do you have a chance of winning?" ”
"Brother wants to be Qin...... King Qin! Zhao Cheng was so frightened that he almost didn't lie down.
"It's not in vain! I usually have a lot of ghost ideas, but I pee my pants when it's critical! What use do you want? Zhao Gao shook his head angrily.
"Big ...... Big brother, little brother seems to have a plan, I don't know...... I don't know if it's possible? Zhao Cheng stepped forward again in a hurry.
Seeing Zhao Cheng's appearance, Zhao Gao was really a little angry: "If you have a fart, let it go!" Whoop a bird! Sometimes Zhao Gaozhen regrets himself, how could he recognize such a useless brother.
"The younger brother is foolish, and if he wants to seek his country, he must first thin his flesh and bones." Zhao Cheng scratched his head and said hesitantly.
"Oh?" Zhao Cheng's words made Zhao Gao's eyes suddenly light up, he hurriedly sat up straight, and couldn't wait to ask, "How to thin his flesh and bones?" Fast! Let me tell me more! ”
Seeing that his idea was approved by Zhao Gao for the first time, Zhao Cheng suddenly came to his senses, and he sneered: "Those who are flesh and blood, dearest relatives!" The eldest son, Fusu, is sixteen years old, witty and resolute, and after a hundred years of Lu Zheng, he will take the throne! The eldest brother's henchman is in greater trouble than this person! If he can make a plan of discord and keep him away from Xianyang, he will change every day, and Fusu will inevitably be beyond his reach, and he will be helpless! ”
Zhao Gao nodded appreciatively: "Huh? Wonderful! Myoya! I don't want my brother to have such a strategy! Rare! Rare! After that, Zhao Gao Huoran got up and said, "Without further ado, I will enter the palace immediately!" ”
"Yes...... But it's already ...... time at this time," Zhao Cheng glanced at the sky and reminded in surprise.
"Late at night, Fang Xian's words carry weight!" Zhao Gao casually took the official uniform handed over by Zhao Cheng and said triumphantly.
In the study of the king of the east side hall, Yingzheng summoned Zhao Gao. After the big gift, Zhao Gao couldn't wait for a while, and the government and the opposition reported the complaints of King Qin. Zhao Gao knew that Gongzi Fusu had a compassionate heart, as long as he could provoke the King of Qin and make him kill, Gongzi Fusu would not sit idly by. At that time, if he instigated a little in front of King Qin, Fusu would immediately have to get out of Xianyang.
The development of the situation was as Zhao Gao expected, Ying Zheng immediately became angry when he heard it, and he urgently summoned the court lieutenant Bi Yuan into the palace overnight, and ordered him to quickly spread secret agents in Xianyang City and various counties and counties, and as soon as there was a discussion of the Qin king and Qin Zheng, all of them were arrested and imprisoned.
Within ten days, the prisons in the counties of Qinguo were already overcrowded, and according to rough estimates, more than 20,000 people were arrested, including several officials and ministers.
"How can it be!" After listening to the report of Ting Wei Bi Yuan, Ying Zheng was surprised.
"How this case will be found, please make it clear to the king." With so many people involved in the case, Bi Yuanzhen didn't know what to do.
"Qin Fa is brilliant and slanders Qin Zheng, where should you be, don't you know?" Ying Zheng asked coldly.
"This ......" Bi Yuan raised his head and looked at King Qin at a loss.
"Say!" Ying Zheng knocked heavily on the Wang case.
"Depend on ...... According to the law, ...... should be beheaded" Bi Yuan replied with a sigh, and beads of sweat suddenly rolled down from his forehead, "The law does not blame the people, I implore the king to be light!" Bi Yuan didn't believe that King Qin would really kill these 20,000 people.
"Leave no one, kill!" Leaving these words, Ying Zheng turned straight away, leaving Bi Yuan alone to stand like a chicken.
