Chapter 141: The Son of King Zhao Wuling
Qin Wangji wanted Pingyuan Jun to enter Qin for negotiations, for two reasons. The first reason is that Pingyuan Jun is the son of King Zhao Wuling, the younger brother of King Zhao Huiwen, and the uncle of Zhao Wangdan.
The second reason is out of selfishness, that is, to avenge Fan Ju. Fan Ju's things in the Wei State, Qin Wangji has always kept in mind. At the beginning, the king of Wei was forced to send Wei Qi's head to Xianyang, Wei Qi fled from Wei and went to Handan, Zhao State, and was accepted by Pingyuan Jun.
Pingyuan Jun's move undoubtedly offended King Qin. Qin Wangji thought to himself: "If you detain Pingyuan Jun, you will exchange Wei Qi's head for it." How will the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State respond? ”
The prince of the plain is afraid of the Qin State, coupled with the bad reputation of the Qin State, this brother of the Zhao State clan will not choose to enter the Qin. However, Qin Wangji did not expect that Pingyuan Jun was not afraid of death and dared to enter Qin.
Qin Wangji originally wanted to use the hand of Pingyuan Jun to blackmail him and kill Wei Qi, and then achieve it, chilling the hearts of Zhao Guoshi. It also made Plains-kun infamy. Pingyuan Jun entered Qin, and his plan fell through.
"The son of King Zhao Wuling, he really has the guts." Qin Wangji saw Pingyuan Jun, and saw that he had a bit of the heroic appearance of his father, King Zhao Wuling, and said with a smile: "Qin welcomes you. ”
Pingyuan Jun listened to these five words, although he didn't like it in his heart, he still said politely: "King Qin asked me to come by name, how dare I not come." ”
Qin Wangji said with a cold face: "I thought you didn't dare to come, but I didn't expect you to come." ”
Pingyuanjun smiled: "It is said that Qin wine is good, so I came." ”
"You're here to drink in the Qin Kingdom?" When Qin Wangji heard this, he was slightly surprised.
"Seek peace first, then drink." Pingyuan Jun still distinguishes between the main and the secondary, what is the most important and what is secondary, "The sum is successful, I will definitely drink Qin wine." ”
Qin Wangji said coldly: "The widow refuses Zhao Guo's request for peace, do you still have the heart to drink?" ”
Pingyuanjun didn't feel good in his heart, but his face was still very calm and said, "The mood may be almost good." ”
Qin Wangji didn't expect the other party to be so open-minded, and spread his sleeves, "You're here, let's talk about state affairs." ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "If the King of Qin is willing to talk, we will talk." ”
Qin Wangji asked: "The conditions of the widow, the envoy of the Zhao State has already told you!" Twenty carts of treasure cut ten cities. If Zhao Guo does not agree, we will go to war. ”
Qin Wangji's tone was not high, but he conveyed a tone that was not negotiable.
Pingyuanjun shook his head, smiled, and didn't speak.
Qin Wangji was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by shaking your head?" ”
"King Qin's conditions are too harsh." Pingyuanjun said with a smile: "I can't accept it. ”
Qin Wangji shouted: "In the battle of Changping, my eldest Qin man buried hundreds of thousands. It is too much for a widow to ask you for twenty carts of treasure and ten cities. ”
"The Qin State buried hundreds of thousands of men, and the Zhao State was killed by you 450,000, how should this be calculated." Pingyuan Jun did not show weakness, "If you don't kill me, I will surrender more than 100,000 soldiers, let alone ten cities, even fifteen cities, I will agree." ”
Fan Ju said: "This is war, and a lot of people will die." ”
"Therefore, you have killed hundreds of thousands of our soldiers." Pingyuan Jun asked, "These people have all descended, and you will still kill them." Do they deserve to die? ”
Fan Ju was also frightened by the other party's momentum, and eased up: "Pingyuanjun's emotions should not be too excited. Don't forget, you came to Qin to seek peace. ”
"You don't need to remind me." Pingyuan Jun's eyes welled up with anger, "I'm here to sue for peace, and I'm also here to seek justice for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were killed." ”
"Justice?" Qin Wangji laughed and said, "A hard fist is justice." ”
"The Qin State has taken the lead. The inability of the Zhao State to win the Qin State is the incompetence of the descendants of the Zhao family. Pingyuan Jun said in a loud voice: "The reincarnation of heaven has its own cause and effect. Qin can kill and surrender, and future generations will definitely take revenge. ”
"Okay." Qin Wangji clapped his hands and said, "I'm waiting for that day." ”
Pingyuanjun was sad and indignant, "I'm incompetent! ”
Qin Wangji threatened: "Pingyuan Jun, don't be presumptuous. This is the State of Qin, not the State of Zhao. It's up to the widow to decide everything here. If you provoke a widow, you will not be afraid that they will kill you. ”
Pingyuan Jun looked fearless, "Are there still fewer people killed by King Qin?" The king of Qin imprisoned the Empress Dowager Mi, expelled the four nobles, and suppressed the meritorious ministers. Invade South Korea and kill Zhao. If King Qin wants to kill me, just kill me! If I frown, I am not worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao family. ”
"Good, good, good." Qin Wangji said coldly: "If you are not afraid of death, I will fulfill you." ”
Pingyuan Jun didn't beg for mercy either, and shouted, "King Qin, hurry up." ”
"That's it, that's it." Qin Wangji changed his tone, "The widow will not kill you." The widow was just playing a joke on you. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "King Qin's joke is not funny at all. ”
"Though you have provoked the widow many times, the widow will not kill you." Qin Wangji recalled the past, and his tone was sentimental, "The widow was able to become the King of Qin, thanks to the help of your father, King Zhao Wuling. You are the son of King Wuling of Zhao, how can a widow be ungrateful and kill you. ”
In that year, King Wu of Qin raised the world and died. The state of Qin was ownerless, and the turmoil lasted for three years. Empress Dowager Mi supported Gongzi Fu and Qin Huihou and Qin Wuhou supported Gongzi Zhuang to compete. The final result was that Empress Dowager Mi ended the turmoil and won the victory.
However, the Empress Dowager Mi did not become a big winner, and Gongzi Fu did not become the King of Qin. In order to meddle in the internal affairs of Qin, King Wuling of Zhao united with King Yan Zhao to choose a third path for Qin. escorted Qin Wangji, who was still hostage in Yan State at that time, to return to the country and succeed to the throne.
Qin Wangji thought of the past and the dead old people, and let out a sigh of relief, "If King Zhao Wuling doesn't die in the sand dunes, the national strength of Zhao will definitely flourish!" In the current world, maybe it is you Zhao Guo who have the final say. What a pity! The high pavilion is still there today, and it is no longer the father of Zhao. ”
"The towers and pavilions are still there today, and they are no longer the father of Zhao." When Pingyuanjun heard this, the corners of his eyes were already moist.
Fan Ju saw that King Qin was too deep, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time for nostalgia. ”
Qin Wangji took a breath, spit it out, and stabilized his mind, "For the sake of Lord Zhao's father's kindness in helping him back then, the widow will ask for ten carts of treasures and cut off ten cities of Zhao." ”
"It's too much." Pingyuan-kun also recovered from his grief, "Can there be more?" ”
"That's it! The widow left some money for King Zhao to bury the dead soldiers of Changping and compensate the orphans. The widow took a step back. Qin Wangji said in a non-negotiable tone: "Five carts of treasures, cede six cities." This is the last bottom line of the widow. If Zhao Guo can accept it, the peace talks will be completed. If we can't accept it, we can only continue the war. ”
"Five cars, six cities." Pingyuanjun said bitterly: "Okay! I agreed. ”
Fan Ju handed over a map of Kanyu and handed it to Qin Wangji. Qin Wangji took the map and unfolded it on the case. Qin Wangji picked up his pen and drew a circle on the Kanyu map, put it away, and threw it to Fan Ju, "This is the new boundary between Qin and Zhao." Pingyuan-kun, take a look, if there is a problem. ”
Pingyuan Jun took the Kanyu map sent by Fan Ju, slowly unfolded it, and when he saw the illustrious mark, his heart was like a knife, "No problem." ”
"Okay." Seeing the other party's expression, Qin Wangji was deeply satisfied, "Qin, Zhao Yihe, this matter is done." The widow prepared a banquet and celebrated it with you. ”
"Thank you King Qin for your kindness." Pingyuan Jun said: "I'm not in the mood to drink with you. ”
Qin Wangji said: "Why, Pingyuan Jun doesn't plan to give face to the widow. ”
Pingyuan Jun said: "I have lost the face of my ancestors, how can I be in the mood to drink." ”
"Pingyuanjun is a person who does great things, don't affect the friendship between the two countries for this matter, let alone get caught up in it, and can't extricate yourself." Fan Ju persuaded: "My king, but I rarely invite people to drink. ”
Pingyuanjun picked up the loneliness in his heart, "In this way, I don't know how to be interested." If I don't drink this wine, I won't do it. ”
"Gotta drink." Qin Wangji said: "If you don't drink, the widow's face is dull!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Pingyuan Jun sighed: "For the sake of Qin and Zhao to stop the war, I will drink it." ”
Qin Wangji prepared delicious wine and food to entertain Pingyuan Jun. During the banquet, no one mentioned such unpleasant things as losing money or cutting the city. Qin Wangji and Fan Ju toasted frequently, and Pingyuan Jun drank them one by one.
The banquet lasted for two hours, and Qin Wangji asked with the intention of drinking: "Pingyuan Jun's courage is really not small!" ”
Pingyuan Jun slapped a wine gap and said drunkly: "Why did King Qin say this." ”
Qin Wangji didn't know whether the other party was really drunk or fake, and said with a smile: "The widow once said that whoever dares to accept Wei Qi is the enemy of the Qin State. Wei did not dare to accept it, and Wei Qi fled from Daliang and went to Handan. Wei Qi defected to you, and if you accept him, you will not be afraid to become an enemy of the Qin State. ”
Pingyuan Jun said blankly: "What did King Qin say? I don't understand. Wei Qi is the minister of the Wei State, how can he be so downcast that he defects to me. ”
"You don't have to pretend." Qin Wangji asked, "Where is Wei Qi?" ”
Pingyuan Jun slapped another wine gap, "I don't know what King Qin said. ”
"Do you dare to accept Wei Qi, don't you dare to admit it?" Qin Wangji's expression became a little terrifying, "Hand him over." ”
"Don't say I don't know where Wei Qi is. Even if I knew, I wouldn't have handed him over. Pingyuan Jun replied without humility or arrogance: "If the King of Qin wants to kill me, I will not hand him over." ”
Seeing that the other party refused to hand over Wei Qi, Qin Wangji shouted: "You offended Qin for a Wei person and lost your life, is it worth it?" ”
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's determined by the orientation of the heart." Pingyuan Jun picked up the wine bottle and drank another bottle, "For the King of Qin, use force to force others to submit. If your fist is hard enough, you can do whatever you want. King Qin has no friends like this. ”
"Widows don't need friends."
"That's the sad thing about a lonely person!" Pingyuanjun put down the wine bottle, "I don't understand the value of friendship of friends." ”
"Pingyuan Jun would rather offend the widow and sacrifice himself to protect Wei Qi." Qin Wangji said slightly angrily: "Wei Qi and you, you can only live alone, you can choose for yourself!" ”
"I will not betray my friends, let alone exchange my friends' lives for a chance to survive." Pingyuan Jun drank a bottle of wine alone, and said fearlessly: "King Qin wants to kill me to vent his hatred, let's do it." ”
"The widow said that for the sake of King Zhao Wuling, he would not kill you." Qin Wangji naturally knew that Pingyuan Jun could not be killed. If he is killed, the war between Qin and Zhao will start again.
"Thank you King Qin, for not killing." Pingyuan Jun raised his bottle and said: "After drinking this wine, I will return to China to resume my life." King Qin, please. ”
The king of the plain saw that the king of Qin did not raise the bottle, so he drank it alone. Pingyuan-kun got up and prepared to leave. Two armor soldiers blocked his way.
Pingyuan Jun turned around and asked, "King Qin, what does this mean." ”
Qin Wangji picked up the wine bottle, brought it to his lips, and said coldly: "If Pingyuan Jun doesn't hand over Wei Qi, how can I let you go back." ”
Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Is King Qin trying to detain me? ”
"Didn't Pingyuan-jun want to have a relationship with Qin?" Qin Wangji drank the wine, "I'm asking you to stay." ”
"Hahaha." Seeing that he couldn't leave, Pingyuan Jun returned to his seat and picked up Qin's wine, "King Qin can ask for wine and delicacies to entertain me." I'm a hard person to serve. ”
"Plains-kun stay in peace!" Qin Wangji said: "Qin State has nothing, take care of food and housing, and the widow can still do it." Come on, send Pingyuan Jun down to rest, don't be lazy. ”
After Pingyuan-jun was sent away, Fan Ju asked, "The king intends to detain Pingyuan-kun." ”
Qin Wangji drank alone and asked, "Can't you?" ”
"The seizure of Pingyuanjun will damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries. We and Zhao Guogang stopped fighting, I'm afraid it will..."
"You don't have to worry about that." Qin Wangji picked up the wine bottle and played with it, and said lightly: "You are the hegemony of the widow, conscientious and hardworking. More than ten years ago, Zhao defeated me and lost more than 100,000 men in my Great Qin. Today, in the battle of Changping, we killed 450,000 Zhao soldiers, and we were ashamed. How fast it is to be a widow. ”
Qin Wangji put down the wine bottle, "The widow is ashamed, the snow is over." Revenge is also avenged. Your shame has not been snowed, and your revenge has not been avenged. ”
Fan Ju was moved: "Your Majesty..."
"The widow has said that although you and I are kings and ministers, we are also close friends. Your enmity is the feud of the widow. The widow will avenge you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"If Pingyuan Jun does not hand over Wei Qi's head, the widow will persecute King Zhao." Qin Wangji looked in the direction of Handan, "Send someone to tell King Zhao to use Wei Qi's head in exchange for Pingyuan Jun's return to the country." The widow couldn't see Wei Qi's head for a day and sent it to the Qin State, and Pingyuan Jun couldn't return to the country for a day. ”
"The king will kill the plain king?"
"He is the son of King Zhao Wuling." Qin Wangji let out a heavy breath, "Widow, you can't do it!" ”
