Chapter 730: The monarch wants his ministers to die
"You saw Hefu die with your own eyes?"
That night, Qin Shi Huang occupied an entire Anlu County Temple, used it as a temporary palace, and ordered Ziying to report the incident as it was.
Ziying started from leaving Huangxi Pass, and said that they were outside Hengpu Pass, and were suddenly attacked by thousands of Yue people, the road had a steep slope, Heifu could not get out, so he was surrounded by Yue people, Ziying got out of luck, and when he turned back, he saw that Heifu was no longer in the enemy, and even the banner of the prince was broken......
He leaned over and said: "There are few of us, so we don't dare to turn back to save us, so we can only hurry to Hengpu Pass with the soldiers and let the defenders rush to help, but ......"
Ziying said the saddest part: "But there is only blood stained on the ground, there are headless dead and stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the body of Changnanhou is nowhere to be found, probably brought back to the forest by the Yue people." β
Ziying described that the Nanyue people were not only headhunters, but also good eaters of human flesh, and Chang Nanhou and hundreds of his subordinates probably became their stomach food.
"Sanguan Duwei Anpu was shocked when he heard the news, and dispatched 5,000 people to attack the Yue people, but the Yue people were cunning and retreated into the forest, avoiding without fighting, and Qin Shi had no choice but to do it. And when the Marquis of Changnan died, the Yue people from all over the country who were originally divided rebelled again. I heard the commander of Sanguan say that his generation burned down the pavilion and dug up the road, and now the road to Panyu is extinct, and there is chaos everywhere, and the old troops of the Marquis of Changnan are eager to avenge the main general, and are stepping up the suppression......"
After Ziying finished explaining the cause and effect, Qin Shi Huang just listened quietly, and after a long silence, he asked, "Did Heifu have any last words?" β
Sounds like the Emperor is convinced that Heifu is indeed gone?
Ziying bowed again: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changnan often chatted with his ministers along the way, and what he cares about most is not the Hou's eaters, let alone the wealth of the land, but His Majesty's immortality!" β
"Chang Nanhou firmly believes that between the various Kyushu, although there are snow-capped mountains and deserts, but there is also a sea connection, he wants to ask His Majesty to make him the general of Lou Chuan, out of Panyu, down to the South China Sea, to find a sea route to the West Queen Mother State. In the end, he may be able to join forces with General Li Xin in the west, white horses and black dogs, and break through the branches together, opening a road to the west for His Majesty......"
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changnan is loyal to Daqin and Your Majesty until he dies!"
After Ziying finished speaking, Qin Shi Huang got up with the support of the inner attendant.
"My most important white horse and black dog, one is far away, I don't know when I will be able to return, and the other is actually dead at the hands of a mere slave?"
The old emperor sighed:
"I never thought that two and a half years ago, when I parted with Jieshi, it would be the last time I met him!"
The eldest son ran away, love will die in battle, Qin Shi Huang looked at the night of Anlu City outside with his hands, until the child retired, and he no longer spoke, only coughed from time to time.
And his gaze seemed to be joyful and sad......
It's suspicious!
β¦β¦
After Ziying finished speaking, after retiring, he did not delay for a moment, while undressing and bathing, he let Cheng Ji, who had followed Chang'an Jun Cheng Ji in his early years, after Cheng Ji defected, he recruited Han Tan, the old eunuch who had taken care of him from a small handful of and urine - this time Qin Shi Huang toured south, so that Ziying's 14-year-old eldest son accompanied him, and Han Tan also followed at the end of the team.
"During my absence, there was such a big upheaval in the DPRK and China!?"
Ziying's undressing hand stopped, his eyes were shocked, not only the rumor of "the black one who died in Qin", but also the assassination of the ink man, Fusu ran out and disappeared, and the family of the Hou of Changnan did not know where to go.
"This is the real reason why His Majesty the Emperor has to personally tour the south despite his illness and let the Marquis of Changnan go to Yicheng to meet him!?"
The spring was cold, but he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he only felt that this world was going to be chaotic.
When Ziying was trembling, as Ziying's housekeeper and mastermind, Han Tan also asked about what happened in Lingnan:
"So, Wang Sun didn't see him killed with his own eyes, and the body of Changnanhou was not found?"
Ziying nodded, and the beardless old eunuch touched his smooth chin and smiled: "In this case, there are still doubts about whether Changnanhou is alive or dead." β
Ziying said disappreciably: "Few of the people who were attacked and captured by the Yue people survived, and most of their subordinates thought that the Marquis of Changnan was dead, and they were grief-stricken, of course, maybe one in 10,000 possibility, the Marquis of Changnan was just imprisoned by the ...... the Yue people."
"That's fine."
Han Tan unceremoniously pointed out a possibility: "Lao Chen even suspects that this Yue attack, perhaps, was planned by Chang Nanhou himself!" He's not dead at all! β
Ziying took the case: "Han Weng, how dare you say anything!" β
"It's not an old servant guessing."
Han Tan rolled his sleeves and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Your Majesty has doubts about Changnanhou because of the black of the dead Qin and the matter of Gongzi helping Su Nanben. After all, whether in the north or in Haidong, the Marquis of Changnan worked with Fusu, and it was natural that he was a party of Fusu. Fusu went out, but also brought his family, but also confirmed this relationship, now Fusu is nowhere to be found, maybe, has arrived in Lingnan......"
He analyzed: "Now that Fusu is out of position, His Majesty has made the eighteenth son Hu Hai to follow the army, and he may be the future heir's choice. In order not to divide Great Qin into two, His Majesty could only dispose of the Marquis of Changnan. β
"Therefore, if the Marquis of Changnan goes to Yicheng, he will be relieved of his military power at the least, and he will be killed at the worst! If he doesn't come, he will openly rebel, and he will be crusaded against by the Son of Heaven, and his family will be killed! β
Han Tan said: "Even the old servant can think of the result, Chang Nanhou can't think of it?" This was originally a dilemma, life and death were decided by His Majesty, but now it ......"
He laughed: "Chang Nanhou died suddenly!" At this time, the court was empty, believe it or not, and how to deal with the aftermath has become His Majesty's dilemma. But Changnanhou can lie dormant in the dark, observe the wind direction, and respond to the changes! This strategy is clever, no less than Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai feinted to die with an arrow! β
The old eunuch's analysis was divided into three points, and he said to the child: "Wang Sun has actually seen it a long time ago?" β
"Han talk, ah......"
Ziying was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, but he changed his simplicity in front of Heifu and Qin Shi Huang, and his smile became playful.
"Han Weng, my father Chang Anjun, is he smart?"
Speaking of Cheng Ji, who had been dead for many years, Han Tan showed a trace of sadness.
"Chang'anjun is a first-class and intelligent person in the world, whether it is martial arts or poetry and books, he is better than His Majesty today."
"But Han Weng, he has become a lost dog!"
Ziying's face was serious: "Just because I am too smart, I always want to be the first in everything, those things of Empress Dowager Zhao, Lu Buwei, and Chang Yu, who in the country didn't know who didn't know at that time?" Everyone pretended not to know, but it was good for him to poke out these things, hoping to accuse His Majesty of not being the bloodline of the first king, in exchange for the support of the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia to seize the throne! β
"But I never thought that the Empress Dowager Xia died first, and he also fell for Chang Yu's plan, so he could only betray Qin and surrender to Zhao, if it weren't for His Majesty's dissatisfaction with Chang Yu and others' behavior, there was still a trace of mercy, and I was almost killed in my infancy!"
Han Tan knelt down: "Wang Sun atoned for his sins, it was the old servant who talked too much......"
Ziying sighed: "Han Weng is not guilty, it's just that I have my way of life, sometimes, I seem to be loyal and frugal, as if everything is kept in the dark, and even used as a fool and a tool, there is nothing wrong with it, not only am I so, I will also teach my son, keep this sentence in mind......"
"Zhuangzi said: Straight wood is cut first, and Ganjing is exhausted first. Therefore, their ranks are not rejected, and outsiders are not harmed, so as not to suffer ......"
"The wise don't live long, but the fool lives for a hundred years!"
After spitting out the grievances of his father, Ziying sat down again, regained his former peace, and showed a sincere smile.
"Han Fei said it well, there are a hundred battles in a day, this incident, let Your Majesty compete with the Marquis of Changnan, who doesn't know life and death, and the monarch and the ministers will intrigue and fight! Whatever the outcome, no one will blame me, a 'fool'! β
β¦β¦
In the Anlu County Temple, in the temporary palace, Qin Shi Huang, who was so weak that it was difficult to concentrate, also came up with an answer after being interrupted by coughing many times.
"Heifu, Heifu, are you really like that incompetent Tu Sui, who died so ridiculously and so coincidentally?"
"Or, you didn't die at all, but your heart was weak and scared, so you cheated your death to deceive me!?"
Although he had some doubts, Qin Shi Huang knew very well that in the current situation, it was extremely difficult to prove that Heifu was still alive, even if he immediately sent someone to Lingnan to investigate thoroughly, and when the results were obtained, three or four months might have passed.
Originally, Heifu didn't know the life and death of Qin Shi Huang, let alone his attitude towards life and death.
Now, Qin Shi Huang does not know that Heifu is alive and dead, and the arrangements that were previously expected in Yicheng have all failed.
And Heifu lurked in the dark, observing the situation.
But the minister has the minister's strategy of hiding, and the king also has the king's bright magic weapon!
"Hide your secrets, try them."
"Measure it up to cut it down!"
This is a war without gunpowder, this is a contest without knowing life and death, and it is also the final intrigue between monarchs and ministers......
But Qin Shi Huang is one of the veterans, he and the three queen mothers, LΓΌ Buwei, Chang Yu, Gongzu, Wang Qian, Wei Yi, Han Fei and even Li Si and others have all fought each other, and they are all in this way.
As if re-erupting in spirit, Qin Shi Huang clasped his palms, his eyes full of contempt.
"I can't do it!"
In his opinion, Heifu's trick is really ridiculous.
"It's a matter of life and death."
"True can be fake."
"False can be true."
"Even if Heifu fakes his death and escapes, I will force him to 'die', and die completely!"
Emperor Qin Shi Huang called Zhao Gao and asked him to write it.
"Spread the system: Tell the world, Changnan Hou Heifu died in Lingnan! The emperor will honor his mother, brother and sister, and move to Xianyang with the families of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army! β
"I will also posthumously crown Heifu as the Marquis of Che!"
He not only has to honor Heifu, but also covers Heifu's coffin and makes that word die on him! Life or death!
Qin Shi Huang smiled:
"Hou Ming: Marquis Wu Zhong!"
