In 265 B.C., a woman who could not be ignored in the history of the Qin State, Mi Bazi, was over eighty years old, and finally completed a seemingly long, but short life.

Mi Bazi is the daughter of Chu State, married to Qin State, because he gave birth to three sons, was named the eighth son by King Qin Hui. The harem of the Qin State is divided into eight ranks, namely the queen, the lady, the beauty, the beloved, the eighth son, the seventh son, the long envoy, and the young envoy. Mi Bazi is in the back of the people, with a low rank and a low status.

However, this woman did not capture the heart of the king with her beauty, but was both beautiful and talented, and knew how to hide her strength. Not only did she survive and thrive in the complex harem of the Qin State.

In 307 BC, the young King Wu of Qin, Tu Zhou Ding, seized the world of Zhou and died. Mi Bazi is unwilling to be at the mercy of fate and fights for his life with the sky. Mi Bazi united with the ministers of Chu to support Gongzi Fu and compete with Qin Huihou, Qin Wuhou and Gongzi Zhuang supported by the Ying clan. It triggered a three-year-long civil strife in the Qin State, also known as the Ji Jun Rebellion.

In this turmoil, after Mi Bazi defeated Qin Hui, he controlled the government of Qin, but because King Zhao Wuling interfered in Qin's internal affairs, the king of Qin was not Gongzi Fu, but became Gongziji who was far away in Yan State.

With the power of the four nobles, Mi Bazi counterbalanced Qin Wangji, and personally dealt with King Wuling of Zhao and the vassal states. Qin not only relieved the threat of Chu and Zhao from one south and one north, but also fought back against Han and Wei and attacked southern Chu. Although Meng Weijun led the alliance of Qi, Han, and Wei to break through the Hangu Pass of Qin, Mi Bazi also held Qin.

When King Wuling of Zhao, King Huai of Chu, King Xiang of Han, and King Xiang of Wei died in the same year, the princes and kings were replaced. The state of Qin recuperated to strengthen the country. Seeing that the six countries of Shandong had changed, Mi Bazi took Bai Qi as the general to attack Han and Wei, and the battle of Yi Yin broke the Wei and Han coalition armies, and Han and Wei collapsed.

Seeing that the threat from the east was lifted, Mi Bazi took advantage of the disunity of the people of Chu to take Bai Qi as his general and went south to attack Chu. Bai Qi not only broke the Chu army, broke through the Chu capital, but also stepped on the tomb of the king of Chu. The state of Chu also collapsed.

The Yiqu Rebellion was a disaster for hundreds of years for the Qin State, but it was lured and destroyed by Mi Bazi. The word Yiqu has completely disappeared in the long river of history.

Qin Wangji remembered the merits and demerits of the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, added the name of the Empress Dowager Qin as 'Xuan', and held a grand ceremony to give her a funeral.

This night, there was a person deep in the courtyard, looking at the moon and stars, and sighed: "The moon is still the beauty of my hometown!" ”

The speaker was none other than the crown prince of the State of Chu. Gongzi Wan is the grandson of King Huai of Chu and the son of Xiong Heng, King of Chu. King Huai of Chu was detained when he entered Qin, and King Heng of Chu succeeded to the throne without sending troops to shame, which eventually led to the death of King Huai of Chu in Qin. The death of King Huai of Chu also led to hostility between Qin and Chu.

The king of Chu succeeded to the throne, but did not make great efforts to govern the country, and was ashamed of the country, but alienated Qu Yuan and other virtuous people, resulting in the great decline of the national strength of the Chu State. Seeing that the people of Chu were unstable, the Qin State sent troops to attack Chu. In the first battle of the Qin State, Wu County and Qianzhong County of Chu State were obtained; Fight again, break the Chu capital Yan Ying; In the three wars, he fought to the east to Jingling, which frightened the king of Chu to move the capital.

The king of Chu saw that he could not win the Qin state, so he could only send the prince of Chu to the Qin state to seek peace.

"What the prince said is good, the moon is still the beauty of the homeland." As he spoke, a person walked out of the dark corner and came to the side of Prince Chu.

Seeing that Huang Xie, who took the initiative to accompany him to Qin State to suffer crimes, Prince Chu sighed: "Although the old country is beautiful, I can only stay in Qin State in vain." ”

Huang Xie heard the sentimentality in Prince Chu's words, and said softly: "The prince has been in Qin for a long time, and it's time to return to the country." ”

The prince of Chu dreamed of returning to Chu, but could he really go back?

Huang Xie saw that the prince of Chu was silent, but he heard him sigh helplessly, and said: "The minister listened to the envoy, and the king's health was not as good as before. Prince, we must be ready to return home. ”

Prince Chu asked, "How do we go back?" ”

At that moment, Huang Xie taught the prince of Chu the strategy he had thought of, and gave a few more words. When the prince of Chu heard this, he felt that this plan was not feasible and asked, "King Qin, what if you don't let me return to the country." ”

Huang Xie said with confidence: "The prince said that the king was seriously ill and returned to China to keep filial piety, and then said that the king of Qin was reasonable. King Qin lost his son and mother, so he can naturally understand the feeling of being a son and a father. The prince's words are sincere, and he will definitely be able to move the King of Qin. We will be able to return home. ”

When the prince of Chu saw that he could return to the country, he saluted and said, "If I can return, it will be all your credit." ”

In order to be able to protect the prince of Chu in the Qin State and not be deceived by the Qin people, Huang Xie took the initiative to make friends with prominent officials in the Qin State. Among them, when Fan Ju fell into the Qin State, Huang Xie also treated him well. Fan Ju became the prime minister of Qin because of his dedication to the king of Qin to abolish the queen mother and chase the four nobles.

Fan Ju is a person who will repay him, and when he is rich, he will not forget Huang Xie and other people who are better with him.

On this day, Fan Ju received an invitation from Huang Xie and wanted to leave for the banquet at the Chu State Pavilion. A guest reminded: "Qin Xiang, you can't go." ”

Fan Ju asked, "Why can't you go?" ”

"The State of Qin is holding a state funeral, and the news of Qin Xiang drinking is out of decency."

Fan Ju smiled faintly and said: "The king issued an edict, just to warn his subjects that during the state funeral, they can't sing and dance, but they didn't say that they can't eat or drink. I went to the Chu State Pavilion Station, only drank alcohol, and did not violate the laws of Qin. ”

After Fan Ju finished speaking, he set off to the Chu State Pavilion, but saw that Huang Xie had already greeted him at the door. Seeing this, Fan Ju hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, wait for me like this." I can't help it! ”

"Brother Fan, as the Prime Minister of Qin, has every opportunity, if you can come to me to drink, how can I not welcome you!" Huang Xie said with a smile: "The banquet is arranged, Qin Xiang, please inside." ”

Fan Ju said: "Brother Huang, please." ”

Fan Ju and Huang Xie walked into the courtyard side by side and came to a gazebo. Fan Ju saw that the layout here, although it was a little simple, it also had a unique style, but it was also the style of a scholar.

The prince of Chu finished saluting and said, "Meet Qin Xiang." ”

Fan Ju hurriedly said: "Prince, this can't be done. ”

Prince Chu said gratefully: "I am in the Qin State, thanks to the care of Qin Xiang. We can have no worries about food and clothing. ”

"The prince is serious."

Huang Xie hurriedly said: "Qin Xiang, prince, stand and do something, let's sit down and drink." ”

Prince Chu stretched out his hand and said, "Qin Xiang, please." ”

Of course, Fan Ju didn't let it, sat in the seat of the host and guest, and said: "Prince, Brother Huang, we can only drink today, and we can't sing and dance." ”

Huang Xie said: "This is nature. ”

Fan Ju smiled: "Then, I'll rest assured." ”

Huang Xie picked up a glass of wine and proposed, "Qin Xiang, prince, let's drink a bottle together." ”

Fan Ju returned the salute, drank it all, and asked, "What kind of wine is this?" ”

Huang Xie didn't answer and asked, "Qin Xiang, you might as well guess." ”

"It is said that Zhao wine is the best wine in the world. This wine, although not as strong as Zhao wine, is a unique flavor. Fan Ju drank a bottle alone and said with a smile: "This wine is from the land of Wu Yue." ”

Huang Xie said with a smile: "Qin Xiang is a good drinker, and he can guess it." ”

Fan Ju saw that he had guessed, he was in a happy mood, but his tone was also docile, "Where am I a good drinker, it's just random speculation." ”

Huang Xie saw that the other party was too modest, and proposed: "Qin Xiang, drinking this wine should also be accompanied by a musical rhythm, which has a different taste." ”

Although Fan Ju wanted to hear it, what would happen to Wu Yue's wine and the rhythm. But thinking of the national funeral of the Qin State, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart, shook his head and said, "Brother Huang must have forgotten." We can only drink, not sing and dance. I can't disobey the edict issued by the King of Qin. ”

"The national mourning of the Qin State, not only the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State are sad, but we also feel grief. How can we sing and dance? Huang Xie saw that Fan Ju's face softened, and said: "Qin Xiang, it's a pity to drink Wu Yue's wine and not listen to Wu Yue's songs." Why don't I chant a few words. ”

Fan Ju only knew that Huang Xie was a person who could speak, but he didn't want the other party to sing ballads, so he high-fived and said, "Then ask Brother Huang to show his singing voice." ”

Huang Xie ordered people to prepare several wine bottles, but the water in the wine bottles was different. Huang Xie picked up the chopsticks and knocked them lightly a few times, making a crisp sound, "Qin Xiang, I'll start." ”

Fan Ju raised his hand and said, "Brother Huang, please." ”

Tonight, he is in the middle of the boat,

Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince.

Shame is not ashamed to be ashamed.

I was troubled and learned about the prince.

The mountains have trees and branches,

I don't know.

"The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy." Although Fan Ju has heard a lot of music, he has never heard the sound of Wu Yue, so beautiful, and he was infected by Huang Xie's singing voice, as if he was in the land of Wu Yue, he high-fived and said: "Brother Huang, you sing so well." ”

Huang Xie raised the bottle and said, "I'm smiling." ”

Fan Ju raised the bottle but saw Prince Chu, there were two tear stains on his cheeks, and asked, "Prince, what's wrong with you." ”

Prince Chu lifted his sleeves and wiped away his tears, "I heard the voice of my homeland, and when I thought of the things of my homeland, I couldn't help but shed tears. This move made Qin Xiangjian smile. ”

Prince Chu's words also reminded Fan Ju of his homeland, "I can understand the prince's feelings." If you have been away from your homeland for too long, you will always miss everything about your homeland! ”

Seeing this, Huang Xie said with a smile: "The old country, what is there to miss." ”

Fan Ju retorted: "Brother Huang, this is not right. ”

Huang Xie pretended to be confused and said, "Qin Xiang, am I not right? In the home country, we have nothing. But in a foreign country, he lives more chic than his home country. ”

"Although foreign countries are thriving, they are rich and well-fed. However, it has never been able to replace the mother country. The mother country carries our memories, which are indelible. Fan Ju said in a somewhat sentimental tone: "It's a pity! There are too many unsatisfactory things in life. ”

Huang Xie also fell into sadness and said: "Who said it wasn't." In life, there are always too many unsatisfactory. ”

When Fan Ju said these words, his mood was also a lot lighter, and he comforted: "Prince Chu, Hugh is going to be sad." There is a good saying, once it comes, it will be safe. The longing for the mother country remains in my heart. O man! The most important thing is to be happy. ”

Huang Xie also said: "Qin Xiang is right. Life is short, and you should be happy in time. Today there is wine, today is drunk. Come, come, come. We drink together, and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows. ”

Prince Chu was not moved, but his eyes were blurred with tears. Fan Ju saw it and asked, "Prince Chu, what's wrong with you." ”

Prince Chu didn't speak, he still kept crying.

Seeing that Prince Chu was too sad, the atmosphere was a little cold, and he was at a loss, he looked at Huang Xie and asked, "Brother Huang, what's going on." ”

Huang Xie put down the wine bottle and said lonely: "Qin Xiang, I really don't hide it." The reason why the prince is like this, in addition to listening to the songs of Wu Yueren, arouses the thoughts of his homeland. Actually, there is another reason. ”

Fan Ju saw that the other party was halfway there, so he stopped talking and hurriedly asked, "What is the reason?" ”

Huang Xie suddenly sighed and said softly: "My country sent an envoy to the Qin State, Qin Xiang knows about this!" ”

"I know that." The Chu envoy came to Qin for the funeral, how could Fan Ju not know.

Huang Xie sighed again, and said in a somewhat low tone: "The messenger told us bad news. ”

Fan Ju saw that the other party was full of sadness and asked, "What's the news?" ”

"My king is seriously ill, and his health is getting worse day by day." Huang Xie said what was emotional, glanced at the prince, and said: "The prince saw that my king was seriously ill and couldn't fulfill his filial piety by his side, so he was the best of the best..."

Huang Xie ended the topic appropriately, and said with deep self-reproach: "Alas! It's all my fault. If it weren't for me singing some Wu Yue ballads, the prince wouldn't have been..."

"The prince of Chu has been away from the Chu country for too long." Fan Jugui advised: "Listening to the music of the old country, and learning that my father is seriously ill, as a son of man, will you not be sad. Prince, don't be sad. ”

Prince Chu sobbed: "As a son of man, I can't be filial in front of my father, I..."

Fan Ju also understands the feeling of being a son of man who can't stay by his father's side when he is seriously ill. When he was exiled in the Qin State, how could he forget those tragic memories. Fan Ju saw the sad Prince Chu, as if he saw himself when he was young, and asked, "Prince Chu, do you want to return to the country?" ”

Prince Chu asked, "Can I return to China?" ”

Fan Ju also felt a little embarrassed, looked at him and said, "The prince of Chu sent the Qin State as a hostage to conclude a good relationship between Chu and Qin. I can't help with that. ”

Prince Chu's eyes became even more sad, and he cried: "Thank you Qin Xiang for persuading me, I know my mission." Returning to the state of Chu is just a dream. ”

When Fan Ju saw it, his heart was full of guilt. If he hadn't come to the banquet, Huang Xie wouldn't have chanted Wu Yue's song, and Prince Chu wouldn't have been so sad.

Huang Xie saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk about these sad things." Qin Xiang, the prince, we drink, if we don't get drunk, we won't return. ”
