Zhonggo Castle.

Kuang Zhang stood at the head of the city, looking at the Chu army outside the city without the slightest sign of attacking the city, and frowned: "Order, immediately check all the urns and jars in the city, as well as the dog holes in the ravines in the city, if there is anything unusual, and find out if the Chu army is digging tunnels." In addition, check whether the water level in the city's wells is rising or falling. Finally, check whether the drainage channels in various parts of the city are unobstructed. ”

Meng Weijun was shocked: "General? It is understandable that the Chu army dug tunnels to attack, but our Zhongwu City is located in the plain, not a low-lying area, so do we still have to guard against water attacks? ”

Kuang Zhang shook his head and said: "It's not to guard against water attacks, but to prevent rain, it's now February, and in another month, there will be more rain." If there is a lot of water in the city, I am worried that they will throw rotting livestock carcasses or manure into the city, which will not only pollute the city's water supply, but also cause epidemics to run rampant. ”

“······” Meng Weijun suddenly realized, and arched his hand: "Thank you for the general's guidance, Wen has been taught." ”

Jucheng.

The prince Qi Wang: "King, Zhangzi is here, the camp has been broken, and Zhangzi is defending the city." ”

King Qi was expressionless: "Got it." ”

After a long time, King Qi said: "It's been four months, and now the deadline agreed by the widow wants Zhang Yi has passed, why don't you still see the Qin army out of the customs?" ”

"Could it be that Zhang Yi thought that the widow could be expected, so he came to play the widow!"

Zhang Yi and the King of Qi made an appointment to attack Chu together at the beginning of the year, and as a result, Qin released a big pigeon.

Chu Zi thought for a while and said: "Great King, originally the minister also thought that the Qin State wanted to consume the strength of Qi and Chu, but now, the minister doesn't think so. ”

King Qi was stunned and asked suspiciously: "Xiangguo, why is this?" ”

The prince replied: "Great King, now that the defense of the Three Jin and Chu is very strict against the Qin State, if the Qin State does not take advantage of such a good opportunity to attack the Three Jin and Chu States now, is there a better opportunity than this?" ”

"And Qin now has only one ally, us, such a serious betrayal is enough to make Qin and Qi turn their faces, and let Qin fall into an isolated and helpless situation."

"Therefore, the current situation of the Qin State is either to have great interests and make the Qin State turn its back on the Qi State, or there is a serious civil strife within the Qin State, which causes the Qin State to be unable to fight externally, so it can only close itself off and stabilize the internal first."

King Qi thought about the situation in the Qin State for a while, and couldn't help but nod.

There must be a reason for breaking the covenant, either for profit or for natural and man-made disasters.

Thinking of this, King Qi suddenly said: "The widow remembers, it seems that the Qin State's Zhu Li Disease and the Prince Dang have not appeared in Xianyang City for a long time, and the same is true of the King of Qin, in the past two months, it has been Zhang Yi who has received our envoys from the Qi State, not only that, but now even the affairs of the Qin State are handled by Zhang Yi!" ”

Speaking of the envoys of the State of Qi, the King of Qi asked again: "Is the State of Wei still feasting on Suzi every day?" ”

Chu Zi nodded, and said helplessly: "Su Zi came to the news, saying that the King of Wei was so enthusiastic that he couldn't get out, and he was under house arrest by Wei." ”

King Qi: "······"

In the Xianyang Palace of the Qin State.

"What time is it?" King Qin woke up from his drowsiness, opened his eyes vigorously, and saw a vague figure sitting on the edge of the bed, but he couldn't see the face of the person who came clearly, so he couldn't help but ask.

Queen Qin heard movement on the bed, blinked her tired eyes, and said in surprise: "King, you are awake!" ”

"Hmmm! It's the Queen! When the king of Qin heard the queen's voice, he fixed his mind, and when he looked at the queen, it was indeed his own queen.

I saw that the queen looked tired, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, revealing endless worry, and she said warmly in her heart: "Queen, you are a lot haggard!" This is the third time that the widow has fainted, and this time I have been fortunate to be a queen..."

When Queen Qin heard this, she immediately said worriedly: "Don't speak first, the king, I'll send the imperial doctor over immediately!" ”

"Doctor, where is Doctor? The king is awake..."

King Qin heard the queen shouting outside, and then saw the three of them walking quickly.

The leader is a young man who is strong and full of heroic spirit, it is the prince of Qin, behind the prince dang, on the left is the disease of the tree, and on the right is a doctor with a medicine box on his back.

The Imperial Physician came to the room, and Queen Qin immediately took two steps back to make way for the Imperial Physician.

The imperial doctor walked quickly to the bed, and was about to diagnose and treat King Qin, but heard King Qin say slowly: "There is no need to diagnose and treat, the widow knows, the widow's body can no longer be treated." ”

"Why did the king say this, now the king is in his prime, and there are some symptoms..." Queen Qin was about to persuade, but heard King Qin continue: "Fang Cai, the widow dreamed of the first king, not only dreamed of the first king, but also dreamed of Shang Jun, at that time Shang Jun was saying something to the first king, the widow did not hear clearly, but saw the first king angrily rushing towards the widow. ”

"As a result, just as the first king was about to speak, the widow woke up from his dream."

Then, King Qin's eyes showed a sad look: "I don't know if under the Yellow Spring, the first king will blame the widow, and the Shang monarch will resent the widow!" ”

Saying that, King Qin looked at the prince and asked, "Prince, do you say that the first king will blame the widow?" Will Shang Jun resent the widow? ”

Hearing King Qin say that he dreamed of Qin Xiaogong and Shang Ying, Queen Qin on the side suddenly lost her face and her face was full of worry.

"The King..." Tears flowed before the words came out, and they couldn't speak.

When the crown prince heard King Qin's inquiry, he took a step forward and didn't want to blurt out: "Father, Shang Jun is deeply trusted by the first king, and the first king not only entrusts him with state affairs, but also gives him the anointed land and Shang land, tearing the soil and sealing the king, but he does not want to repay the favor, and intends to rebel at the beginning of his father's accession to the throne." ”

"Father, Shang Jun was torn apart by the car because he took the blame, he was under the Yellow Spring, what face did he have to see the first king, and what face did he have to resent his father!"

King Qin couldn't help but close his eyes when he heard the prince's loud words.

Seeing that King Qin didn't say anything to his words, the crown prince closed his eyes and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Then, looking back at his uncle, he sighed, shook his head, and did not speak.

“？？？”

The prince wondered, could it be that I just said the wrong thing?

Could it be that the father and uncle all thought that it was wrong to kill Shang Ying back then?

King Qin closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and then opened his eyes firmly.

Glancing around, Zhang Yi was not seen, so he asked, "Where is Xiangguo?" ”

When Queen Qin heard this, she replied: "Your Majesty, since the king fell into a coma, the Xiangguo has been dealing with the political affairs of the country in the past few days. ”

"Hmm!" King Qin snorted, and said expressionlessly: "Let Xiangguo come to see the widow." ”

Queen Qin responded: "Yes! King! ”

Soon, Zhang Yi hurried to the palace of King Qin, and saw that Queen Qin was waiting outside the palace, so he arched his hand and said: "I have seen the queen, and the minister heard that the king has woken up!" I don't know if the imperial doctor can diagnose the king, how is the king now? ”

When Queen Qin heard Zhang Yi's series of questions, she shook her head with tears in her eyes: "The king is anxious to see Xiangguo, please enter Xiangguo quickly!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Yi's heart sank, she didn't speak, and walked quickly into King Qin's bedroom.

came to the bed and bowed: "Minister Zhang Yi greets the king." ”

When King Qin heard Zhang Yi's voice, he opened his eyes and saw Zhang Yi kneeling under the bed, revealing a smile: "Xiangguo is here." ”

Zhang Yi responded: "The minister is here!" ”

After a pause, King Qin said to everyone: "Everyone else has left, and the widow has something to say to Xiangguo." ”

After the others left, King Qin paused for a while before he said to Zhang Yi: "Xiangguo, I don't know who can inherit the throne of Qin after the widow?" ”

Zhang Yi was shocked in her heart, her thoughts turned a thousand times, and she immediately said as a matter of course: "After the king, it is naturally the crown prince who will inherit the throne of the king of Qin!" ”

King Qin said noncommittally: "Then Xiang Guo thinks that among the many sons who are widows, who is the best candidate for the crown prince?" ”

Could it be that the king wants to change the crown prince?

A flash of light flashed in Zhang Yi's mind.
