Volume 2 Reverse Water Chapter 39 You are the Great General

"Pei Gongzi asked why I invited you here?" The third prince of Shi smiled, laughing so horribly that he even laughed with tears.

"Pei Gongzi knows that I have been waiting for decades for the tyranny of Qin to cause chaos! This time by chance, the violent Qin was finally defeated by the water, and it seemed that it was about to collapse, and that was the time when I revived the Zhao family. Now a great opportunity, but it has been destroyed by Pei Gongzi, what you have broken is not Huiji, but the hope of the people in the world! ”

So... Is this to catch me in retaliation?

Pei Shengqin listened to the teary-eyed accusation of the third prince of Shi, and felt speechless in his heart and asked the sky. Back then, Ran Min just opportunistically wrote a "Killing Hu Order", which made the world turn against him, and overthrew the Zhao Dynasty in three or two clicks. Later Zhao was still so unpopular back then, and now it has been dead for 30 years, and he still wants to restore? Dare to claim to be the hope of the people of the world?

Of course, it is obviously inappropriate to talk to a remnant of the previous dynasty about the original cause of the demise of the previous dynasty. Pei Shengqin thought so in his heart, but what he said was something else: "That, Third Prince Shi, the Zhao Dynasty was destroyed by Ran Min, not by my Qin Dynasty." There is a debtor and a debtor, you should go to the descendants of the Ran family to take revenge, what are you looking for me, are you looking for the wrong person? ”

"Hmph, although my Great Zhao was not destroyed by Tyranny Qin, it was Tyrant Qin who stole this great river and mountain in the end!" The third prince of Shi sneered: "The Fu family was originally Zhao Chen, and the world ate Zhao Lu, when Ran Min rebelled and the country was in danger. The Fu family should have been rescued by King Qin and sacrificed his life to serve the country, but the villain Fu Hong took the opportunity to cut off Guanzhong, supported the army and respected himself, just waiting for the court to destroy him so that he could proclaim himself emperor. How can such a villain family deserve to sit in the world? ”

Pei Shengqin smiled bitterly: "When Emperor Huiwu was a minister of Zhao, I also honored the holy decree of Ling Zun and joined the rebel coalition. However, the coalition army was defeated by Ran Min many times, and Emperor Huiwu had no choice but to retreat to Guanzhong. And the Zhao Dynasty was not extinguished, and Emperor Huiwu was never proclaimed emperor, and was finally assassinated by General Ma Qiu. From the following point of view, the Fu family is really benevolent and righteous to the Zhao Dynasty, and the only way to blame it is that the Mandate of Heaven is not in the Zhao Dynasty. ”

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Ran Wei destroyed Hou Zhao, Qianyan destroyed Ran Wei, and Qianqin destroyed Qianyan. After a series of steps in which big fish eat small fish, Hou Zhao's country did fall into the hands of Former Qin; This is similar to the Northern Wei Dynasty replacing the former Qin, and Tuoba Jue also did not directly destroy the former Qin, but also took advantage of the chaos to stand on his own, and then secretly made a stumbling block. When the former Qin was overthrown, he would go to eliminate the people who overthrew the former Qin, so that the purpose of usurping the throne would be achieved, and he would not be saddled with the reputation of killing the lord.

In Pei Shengqin's view, the world is inherently virtuous, so why bother with the details. Compared with the truth, which dynasty's founding history is really glorious? Although the former Qin replaced the Later Zhao, it continued to expand its territory, capture the Northern Dynasty, swallow the former Liang, set the Western Shu, collect Yelang, go down to Jingxiang, and open the Western Regions. Now the territory of Former Qin is several times larger than that of Later Zhao, so why not replace it like this. The reason why Pei Shengqin looked down on Tuoba Jue compared to the Northern Wei Dynasty was not because he replaced the former Qin, but because the Northern Wei Dynasty lost power and humiliated the country after replacing the former Qin, and the territory shrank by nearly half compared with the former Qin! If you are immoral and incompetent, you have to usurp the throne, that is, you are harming the whole world, this is shameless!

When Pei Shengqin mentioned the Mandate of Heaven, the third prince seemed to remember something, and he didn't care about Pei Shengqin, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Magu: "By the way, you haven't told me about the previous hexagram, can Da Zhao have the luck of rejuvenation?" ”

It turned out that he thought of the conversation that was interrupted because Pei Shengqin woke up, and with the influence of the goddess stick Magu by his side, the third prince of Shi had already become very superstitious. As soon as you encounter something important, if you don't agree with each other, you have to ask Magu to count a hexagram.

Magu said in a deep voice: "The image of double division is incomprehensible. However, the previous subordinates saw a trace of variables in the hexagram. If you can find that slightest variable, or you can change your life against the sky, then you can't know if you can recover Dazhao! ”

The third prince of Shi said: "It is possible to deduce where the variable should be?" ”

The third prince of Shi did not immediately ask the Liu family and the Yuan family that Magu had counted before, after all, the two surnames were too general. There are so many people with the surname Liu and Yuan in the world, who knows which one you calculated?

Fortunately, Magu calculated the Yuan clan instead of the Tuoba clan, after all, the Tuoba clan is too rare. As soon as you hear the surname Tuoba, it is almost certain that Tuoba is in the group.

Magu frowned and said: "The subordinates are limited, and it is difficult to calculate where the variables are, so they can only be faintly felt, or related to the years." ”

The third prince Shi and Magu communicated very seriously, but Pei Shengqin on the side was shocked into a cold sweat.

Years... Isn't it time, the variable calculated by Magu is not herself, the traverser? This woman is really evil, and she can even count this kind of thing. Fortunately, her Taoism stopped there, if it was more profound, I am afraid that the whole world would be held in the palm of her hand.

"Good! Very good! "Hearing that Hou Zhao still has a chance for revival, even if this so-called opportunity is still missing, it is enough to make the third prince of Shi smile and blossom. The third prince of Shi stroked his palms excitedly and smiled, looked at Magu, and said with affection on his face: "Magu, you have followed me for decades before and after the saddle, and you have worked hard. When I recover Da Zhao and reign in the world, I will crown you as the queen! ”

Magu shook her head and said: "Lord Mingjian, my father was originally a slave, but because of a coincidence, I was fortunate to follow Emperor Ming to raise troops." When the Ming Emperor Dingding Da Zhao, his father was loyal to the state affairs, and successively assisted the six dynasties of Da Zhao to have no regrets. Later, Ran Min usurped and rebelled, the world was in chaos, and the Fu Qin clan stood on its own in Guanzhong, and there was a sign of sweeping the world. In order to ensure the safety of the society, his father left a suicide note, and then entered Qin alone and assassinated Fu Hong. After the subordinates wrote down, they carefully read the father's suicide note, and the father said that all his actions were to report the emperor's kindness. And left a will, the descendants of the Ma family should be born for Da Zhao and die for Da Zhao! It is because his subordinates have followed the Lord for decades, just to fulfill his father's will, and he does not dare to have half of his children's personal affairs. I only hope that one day, I will assist the Lord to restore Da Zhao and retire after success to comfort my father's soul in the sky. ”

Magu said such a big article, in fact, she was euphemistically rejecting the third prince Shi. To put it simply, that is: The reason why I follow you is all because Shi Le has the grace of knowing my father, and my father left his last words for me to serve the descendants of the Shi family, that's all. Don't think about me, I don't think about you.

The previous retelling of Ma Qiu's exploits is actually a reminder to the third prince Shi. My father has made great contributions to your Shi family, and I am now your right-hand man, so you can't force me.

The third prince of Shi naturally could hear what Magu was saying, so he tried his best to put on an embarrassed rather than polite smile, and said, "Since this is the case, don't mention it at this time, don't mention it for the time being." Focus on the big things. ”

Magu immediately bowed her head and said, "The Lord is wise." ”

The third prince of Shi ended the conversation with Magu, and the two of them turned their eyes back to Pei Shengqin.

I saw the third prince of Shi sneering: "Master Pei, you have done a big deal to me this time, let's talk about it, how should this account be calculated!" ”

Pei Shengqin had roughly expected in his heart at this time that the third prince of Shi had robbed him, probably not to kill and take revenge. If I really wanted to take revenge on myself, I am afraid that I would have thrown myself into the dungeon a long time ago, and where would I talk to myself in this secret room relatively peacefully.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves, Pei Shengqin suppressed the disdain in his heart, and responded: "What has happened can't be turned back, what does the third prince Shi want to do, please draw a line." ”

But he saw that the third prince of Shi took out an object from his arms, put it in front of Pei Shengqin's eyes, and said: "Pei Gongzi can turn things around with hundreds of defeated soldiers, why should he be a thief?" Back then, Pei's family was also my great Zhao people, why didn't Pei Gongzi change his evil and return to the right, and use it for me. When Da Zhao recovers, you will be a general! ”

By the flickering candlelight, Pei Shengqin saw clearly what was in the hands of the third prince of Shi, which was a large seal engraved with a majestic seal script. Pei Shengqin sighed slightly in his heart, if it was placed in the reign of Emperor Wu of Zhao Shi Hu forty years ago, this big seal would be enough to teach the heroes of the world to bend their waists. It's a pity that in today's Great Qin Dynasty, this big seal is just a piece of scrap iron.

The corners of Pei Shengqin's mouth twitched slightly, with such a piece of scrap iron, you want to pull me and you to rebel and restore?

Sweet dates are given, so naturally they have to hit a mallet.

Magu didn't know where to find a short sword with a cold light, and said coldly on the side: "If Pei Gongzi doesn't obey, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be good today." ”
