Chapter 159: Chun'e Xuqin
Although the young concubine Niangniang has always been very dissatisfied with her daughter's affair with Gongziman, she was a little soft-hearted when she saw Xia Ji's pitiful appearance, and now she was relieved to learn that Ziman was not the child's biological father.
The young concubine was born in the family of the prince of Jin, and when she was young, she was also a beautiful woman with a beautiful personality, not only beautiful as a flower, but also a person who abides by women's morals and follows the rules, she herself could never have imagined that the daughter she gave birth to was so rebellious.
However, after her daughter got married, she seemed to have grown up and sensible, and her manners, words and deeds returned to normal, which made her feel very comforted.
"Your brothers often mention you at your father's family dinners, and they are a dozen brothers, and you are the only girl, so they all care about you." The young concubine said.
"Oh, my daughter is very touched, and I will go to see them again after I have given birth and my body has recovered to express my gratitude."
"Gratitude is not necessary, many things have lost their original appearance after the passage of time. You were close to them in childhood before, because of the innocence of childhood, and now that you have grown up, Gongziyi, Gongzijian and you have children, and several other younger brothers are about to get married, even if you meet, I'm afraid that in addition to politeness, there will be no more happiness in the past. ”
"Well, what my mother said is, besides, I also have amnesia, and I have forgotten the intimacy with them in my childhood, so I'm afraid I won't know each other when I see them, and I'll have a part."
"Who said it's not. But after that, whenever their brothers have something to do, the exchange of gifts is indispensable, and they all give congratulatory gifts when you get married. ”
"Of course, my daughter has a record."
Sending off the young concubine, Xia Ji's hanging heart was let go again.
Xia Ji asked Chun'e to call the housekeeper Li Zhou, and asked him to inquire about all the etiquette arrangements of the palace and the important activities of the princes, queens and princesses, and prepare the gifts that should be given.
Xia Ji was not familiar with these princes at all, and after sending Li Zhou away, Xia Ji chatted with Chun'e about these princes.
"Chun'e, what is Gongzi Jiyi's birthday this year?"
Chun'e understands that Xia Ji is amnesia, and she doesn't remember her brothers, so she is willing to tell Xia Ji everything she knows.
"Mrs. Huixia's words, Gongzi Ji Yi is the eldest son, this year is the year of the weak crown, and now among the thirteen brothers, the eldest is the eldest son of Gongzi Ji Jian, who is one year older than Gongzi Yi."
"Oh." It turned out that Gongzi Ji Yi was twenty years old, Xia Ji thought to herself.
Xia Ji knew that the world was unified by the Qin State, and the Zheng State was not too far from the Zheng State, and she didn't know if the Zheng State was destroyed by the Qin State.
"Chun'e, what is the strength of the Qin State now? Is the relationship between Qin and Zheng good? ”
"Back to Mrs. Xia's words, according to Chun'e's understanding, there are now dozens of countries in the world, and there are only three powerful countries: Jin, Chu, and Qin. The Jin and Chu states were the strongest, followed by the Qin states. Qin has always been eyeing Zheng Guo and has long wanted to annex Zheng Guo. ”
Xia Ji listened to what Chun'e said, and suddenly felt that the Spring and Autumn Period was a miniature version of the modern world, and Chu, Jin, and Qin were the United States and the Soviet Union in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the dynasty of Zhou Tianzi was the United Nations.
The state of Chu is the strongest and most aggressive, just like the modern United States, which invades other countries on the one hand, and also waives the banner of moral hypocrisy on the other, which is similar to the bald eagle's emphasis on democracy and freedom.
Like the former Soviet Union, the Jin State had a strong military force and spared no effort to protect its neighbors, but the Jin State was not as good as the Chu State economically, and later the three families were divided into Jin, and the country was divided like the former Soviet Union. After the division of the three families, the Zhao State was like Russia after the division of the former Soviet Union.
The state of Qin resembles China before the reform and opening up. The Qin state was the weakest of the three kingdoms at this time, and the Qin state became strong because of the Shang martingale reform, although the Shang martingale was later split, but the Qin state still implemented the Shang martingale reform measures.
Like China's reform and opening up, the Shang Dynasty reform played a crucial role in enhancing national strength. The core of the Shang Dynasty reform was that the soldiers used the heads of the enemy soldiers they obtained as the basis for increasing their official ranks, so that the Qin soldiers were unprecedentedly enthusiastic about killing the enemy, and the Qin army became a tiger and wolf army overnight, which was similar to the early days of modern China's reform and opening up, encouraging some people to get rich first in business.
Natsuhime couldn't help but marvel at the striking similarities in history. If world history forms a situation of great unification, then it must be like the Qin State that unified the world, and China will achieve global unification.
Thinking of this, Xia Ji was worried that the Qin State would invade Zheng Guo in her lifetime, so she asked again: "Chun'e, has Qin Guo invaded Zheng Guo over the years."
"Yes, Mrs. Xia, when your father Zheng Mugong succeeded to the throne, that is, ten years ago, Qin Mugong wanted to annex Zheng Guo in one fell swoop when Zheng Mugong's foothold was not stable and the north gate of Xinzheng City was under Qin's control." Chun'e said.
"Huh? It's so dangerous, you talk about it. Natsuhime was a little surprised.
"Before, Qin Guo bought an internal Ying named Qizi in Zheng Guo, not long after your father ascended the throne, Qizi secretly reported to Qin Mugong, saying that he had taken charge of the north gate of the new Zheng State, that is, he had mastered the key to the north gate of Zheng Guoguo's capital, and if Qin attacked Zheng Guo, he would cooperate with Neiying." Chun'e said.
"It's hard to guard against thieves." Natsuki sighed.
After Qin Mugong received Qizi's secret report, he felt that the opportunity could not be lost, and Uncle Jian, the doctor of Qin State, believed that the Qin army's labor expedition would inevitably be aware of Zheng Guo and Jin Guo, and if the Qin army was ambushed halfway, it would be defeated. Therefore, he tried his best to dissuade Qin Mugong from sending troops, but Qin Mugong made his wisdom faint and sent three generals, Meng Ming, Xi Qishu, and Bai Yibing, to lead troops to attack Zheng State. ”
"It seems that there are also people in the Qin State who understand."
"yes. Uncle Jian was very sad and cried to his son, "You will definitely be resisted by the army in this place, and I will come to collect your corpse." ”
"It's so sad, I know that my son is going to die, but I can't stop it."
"yes. After a long journey, the Qin army finally came to the country of Confusion, not far from Zheng Guo, and happened to be met by Zheng Guo's merchant Xiangao, who was doing business here. Seeing the ferocity of the Qin army, Xingao sent someone to report to Zheng Mugong, and on the other hand, he led twelve oxen to the Qin army, falsely claiming that he had come to comfort the Qin army on behalf of Zheng Guo. ”
"It's really dangerous, but fortunately they met a patriotic businessman." Natsuhime exclaimed.
"yes. This move of Xiangao aroused the suspicion of the attacking Zheng Qin army, and made the Qin State suspect that Zheng Guo was ready, so the march was hesitant and the marching speed slowed down. ”
"If the target of the sneak attack cannot be achieved, it is estimated that the morale of the Qin army will also be affected."
"Hmm. After Zheng Mugong received the report from Xiangao, he hurriedly sent people to the north gate of the capital to check, and sure enough, he saw that Qizi's army was loaded, strong, and horses, that is, everyone was tied up, the weapons were sharpened, and the horses were fed, and they were completely in a state of combat as an internal response. ”
"Oh, that's where the word "mighty warrior" comes from."
"That's right. Zheng Mugong sent the minister to Qizi and said: I'm sorry, but I can't treat you well. Your Meng Ming is coming, you can go with him. Qizi and the others saw that the matter had been revealed, so they fled to the Qi State and the Song State respectively. After Meng Ming learned of this news, he also ordered the withdrawal of the army. ”
"Ah, the father is too merciful to the son, isn't it? Fortunately, this can be regarded as a bloodless soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”
"The Jin State was very angry when he learned that the Qin army had invaded Zheng State, and set up an ambush in the dangerous area where the Qin army retreated, defeating the Qin army, and Uncle Jian's son was indeed killed on the battlefield."
"Alas, the tragic end of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man." Natsuki sighed.
