In 265 B.C., the Qi State went through decay and went to the revival of the Qi Wangtian Fazhang, which completed the end of its life. Qi Wang Tian Fazhang died, and the young prince Jian succeeded to the throne. Because the new monarch is young, the Empress Dowager Qi is in charge.

The law chapter of the king of Qi Tian guarded the dilapidated and withered rivers and mountains of the Tian family, and was given the nickname 'Xiang'. ’

Empress Dowager Qi personally presided over the state funeral ceremony, and she wanted to hold a heavy and grand funeral for King Qi Xiang. The Empress Dowager of Qi sent a letter of state to inform the princes of the news of the death of King Xiang of Qi; On the other hand, inform the subjects and pay tribute to the ancestors together. With the low and sad voice, permeating Linzi, the country of Qi entered a period of national mourning.

When the funeral was over, King Qixiang was buried in the royal tomb. The next day, Qi Wangjian held a court meeting, and the Empress Dowager Qi accompanied him. The Empress Dowager Qi continued to implement the foreign policy of King Xiang of Qi, choosing to be partial to peace and not getting involved in the war in the Central Plains. At the same time, in order to guard against An Pingjun's anger against Qi, it is better to renew the alliance with Zhao State.

Yu Qing listened to the reality of Qi and exchanged national letters, and then set off to return to Handan. One more thing to say here is that more than 40 years later, Qin Shi Huang destroyed Qi, and King Qi was built as the last monarch of Qi and the king of Qi.

Zhao Wangdan got a letter from Yu Qing and others in Handan, confirming the news of the death of Qi Wang Tian Fazhang, and sighed lightly: "King Qi, it's really gone." ”

At the same time, Zhao Wangdan also received a letter from Pingyang Jun. Zhao Wangdan also learned the news of the death of the strong woman who had been in the Qin State for decades.

Qin Wangji first sent away the Prince of Qin, and then sent the Empress Dowager Qin away. Zhao Wangdan just sent away his father and his mother. Zhao Wangdan's mood is not much different from Qin Wangji's.

......

In other words, Qin Wangji listened to Fan Ju's words, abolished the queen mother, chased the four nobles, and dictated the dynasty. Although the Empress Dowager Qin knew that Wang Er's move was too cold, she was helpless. The Empress Dowager Qin, who was over eighty years old, no longer had the energy to control the Qin State and balance the King of Qin.

Qin Wangji's actions, the slightest carelessness, will cause a catastrophe, leading to a palace coup. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Qin supported him and suppressed the four nobles, which led to the coup d'état without bloodshed and sacrifice. Marquis Wei Ran, Huayang Jun Qi Rong, Gaoling Jun Gongzi Kui, and Jingyang Jun Gongzi Fu left Xianyang and went to the fiefdom.

The Empress Dowager Qin was ashamed of the four nobles, she avoided the palace and did not see Qin Wangji. Qin Wangji was worried that the Empress Dowager Qin would mess up his country and bring disaster to his descendants, so he tacitly imprisoned the Empress Dowager Qin in the dormitory.

On this day, the Empress Dowager Qin was sleeping lightly in the palace, but she heard the sound of the death knell, one after another. Empress Dowager Qin naturally understood what this voice represented, and she became more and more frightened in her heart, so she summoned her ministers and asked, "What kind of voice is this?" ”

"Queen Mother, there is no sound."

"Didn't you hear?"

The minister shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

The Empress Dowager Qin saw that the expression of the close ministers had changed, and her tone was a little distracted, so she must have something to hide from her. Empress Dowager Qin asked casually: "This is the sound of great mourning, could it be that Qin Wangyong has passed away." ”

"Queen Mother, the king is tough."

"This is the voice of national mourning, and only the king and prince of a country can use it. King Qin's body is tough, could it be..."Empress Dowager Qin thought of this, her pupils widened, and her tone trembled: "Wang Sunyong has passed away." ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Qin had guessed it, the ministers told the news of Prince Qin's death.

When the Empress Dowager Qin suddenly heard that her favorite grandson had died, she couldn't accept it for a while, she was so angry that a stream of blood spurted out of her mouth, and asked, "Who is it that harmed my grandson."

"Queen Mother, the crown prince died well."

"Nonsense." Empress Dowager Qin didn't believe this statement at all, and said angrily, "I am over eighty years old, and King Qin is also over sixty. We are all long-lived people, and the king and grandson are young, how can they walk ahead of us. Tell me, was it the king who persecuted the king of Wei that caused the king to lose his life? ”

Although the close ministers knew that in order to avenge Fan Ju, the king of Qin, sent people to Wei to force the king of Wei to hand over Wei Qi, otherwise he would be slaughtered by force. Subsequently, the news of the death of the Qin prince reached the Qin state. Prince Qin's death also made everyone think of floating clouds. However, the close ministers were afraid of aggravating the condition of the Empress Dowager Qin, so they did not dare to tell the truth.

Empress Dowager Qin held back the sorrow in her heart and asked, "How did Wang Sun die?" And when did he die? ”

The minister said softly: "Queen Mother, the body of the crown prince has already been sent back to Xianyang by the Wei State. This voice is for the funeral of the crown prince. The king buried the crown prince in the royal tomb. ”

"What do you say? Wang Sun has been buried in the royal tomb. When the Empress Dowager Qin saw that Wang Sun Yong had died, but no one told her, she asked, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" ”

The minister was afraid, and his tone trembled: "Your Majesty, don't let us tell the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Qin said in a cold tone: "King Qin's methods are ruthless, cold, and really ruthless!" expelled his uncle and brother, imprisoned me in the main hall, and didn't even want me to know the news of Wang Sunyong's death. ”

The minister was relieved: "The king doesn't want the queen mother to know about the death of the crown prince, it's for the sake of the queen mother." ”

Where could the Empress Dowager Qin hear these words, and said coldly: "I can't even see the last face of Wang Sun?" You said that King Qin was for my good. You know, he is my favorite king! ”

The close ministers naturally knew that the relationship between the Empress Dowager Qin and the Prince of Qin was much higher than that between Qin Wangji. King Qin's move is indeed chilling. However, when the King of Qin does things, how can they, as courtiers, intervene.

Empress Dowager Qin was in a fierce mood, vomited another mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Qin Wangji attended Wang Er's funeral and felt sad in his heart. The taste of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is not pleasant. Qin Wangji was alone in the hall, and the laughter of Wang Er appeared in his mind. Qin Wangji was sober, but he felt that this hall was too cold.

He expelled his uncle and younger brother and imprisoned his mother in order to stabilize the throne and pass on the country to his descendants. However, the death of Prince Qin also made Qin Wangji feel that what he did was punished by God.

Qin Wangji thought of Prince Qin's appearance, and tears blurred his eyes. However, at this time, the Qin State was attacking the Zhao State. The death of the crown prince of Qin made the decisive King of Qin very weak. Then there was another bad news, which reached Xianyang. That is the alliance between Qi and Zhao.

The king of Qin was in chaos, unable to continue to attack Zhao, and seeing that there was no chance of victory, he ordered the soldiers who had conquered Zhao to be withdrawn.

Fan Ju understands King Qin and does not stop him.

After Qin Wangji attended Wang Er's funeral, the whole person also changed a lot. Fan Ju heard that King Qin had not eaten for a few days, so he entered the palace and comforted: "Your Majesty, please mourn." ”

Qin Wangji didn't want people to see the weakness in his heart, so he smiled bitterly: "This hall was once full of the laughter of the king. At the moment, it's so deserted. ”

Fan Ju said: "For the sake of the Qin State, the king must take care of his body. ”

At this time, a man shouted outside the temple, "Your Majesty..."

King Qin heard a voice outside the hall and asked, "Who is making a noise?" ”

A person entered the main hall and cried: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother..."

Qin Wangji recognized this person as the most relied on and trusted person by the Queen Mother's side, and asked, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother." ”

"The Queen Mother vomited blood from her mouth and fainted."

"What did you say?" Qin Wangji asked: "Yesterday, the Queen Mother's body was still fine, how could she vomit blood and faint." ”

"The Queen Mother heard the sound of the death knell and learned the bad news of the death of the crown prince, just..."

"Bastard." King Qin said angrily: "Didn't the widow give an order that the queen mother could not be informed of the news of the death of the crown prince?" ”

"Minister..."

Qin Wangji dragged his tired body to the Empress Dowager Qin's dormitory and brought the best healer. King Qin asked anxiously, "How is the Queen Mother's health?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother was so angry that she broke her heart. Coupled with old age, time is running out. ”

"The widow wants you to cure the Queen Mother."

"Minister, you must do your best."

At this time, the Empress Dowager Qin opened her eyes and shouted, "Wang... Sun..."

Qin Wangji didn't hear the vague voice of the Empress Dowager Qin, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the child is here." ”

Seeing that it was Qin Wangji nearby, the Empress Dowager Qin said coldly: "Get out." ”

"The queen mother takes care of her health, and the widow will come to see you again." Seeing that the Empress Dowager Qin was full of hatred for him, Qin Wangji was emotional, and he was afraid of aggravating her condition, so he left a sentence and walked out of the hall.

"King Qin, I don't want to see you." Empress Dowager Qin looked at the back of King Qin leaving, and said in a cold tone: "Let me go to heaven with Wang Sun and Wang." ”

King Qin stopped, did not turn around, and then left silently.

The death of the crown prince of Qin was too great a blow to the Empress Dowager Qin. The Empress Dowager Qin didn't see the King of Qin, let alone eat anything sent by the King of Qin, and even the healer was kicked out by the Empress Dowager Qin. Empress Dowager Qin saw Wei Ran and Qi Rong's two younger brothers, as well as Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui's two sons, and the closest people were not around. Now, Prince Qin is also gone. She was desperate and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The doctor used a lot of medicines, which saved the life of the Empress Dowager Qin.

When King Qin heard that he had saved the life of the Queen Mother, he wanted to go to see her. The imperial physician ordered to dissuade: "The king is the last person the queen mother wants to see." In order to avoid irritating the Queen Mother, the king or..."

Qin Wangji also knew that he had done a lot of things to hurt his mother's heart, but for the sake of Qin's country and for the sake of future generations, he had to do it. The queen mother hated him, and he could understand it. Qin Wangji told the imperial physician to take good care of the Empress Dowager Qin and let her live a longer time.

However, Qin Wangji didn't expect that the new year had just begun, and he got the news that Empress Dowager Qin's condition had deteriorated.

On this day, it rained heavily in Xianyang.

Qin Wangji dealt with the mountain of state affairs, and he learned that the state of Qi had sent An Ping Jun to help Zhao defeat the state of Yan. Zhao Guo named Anping Jun as the prime minister, and the title of knight is Changjun. Qin Wangji got this bad signal and thought: "There are many strong generals in Zhao Guowen, and there are Anping Jun to help Zhao." In the future, Zhao will be the strongest opponent of Qin. ”

Qin Wangji looked at the paperwork in his hand and said enviously: "Shaft, what a blessing." was able to envelop An Pingjun. The state of Qin is going to suffer. ”

At this time, Fan Ju walked in, took out the national letter and said: "Your Majesty, the minister got a news that the Empress Dowager Zhao has died." ”

"What did you say?" Qin Wangji was shocked: "Empress Dowager Zhao has passed away. ”

"This is the letter sent back by the scouts." Fan Ju said again: "The Empress Dowager Zhao died, and the King of Zhao added the nickname 'Wei'. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao is not very old, and her sudden death is unbelievable. Qin Wangji read the obituary issued by Zhao Guo, and then believed that the Empress Dowager Zhao was really gone.

Fan Ju said again: "Your Majesty, the minister has another good news. The king of Qi also died. ”

King Qin looked at the documents handed over again, and sighed lightly: "King Qi has also passed away."

Fan Ju took the opportunity to say: "Empress Dowager Zhao died, King Zhao is young and has no one to govern. The king of Qi died, and the alliance of Qi and Zhao relaxed. Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity from Heaven to cut down Zhao. ”

"No." Qin Wangji said: "Zhao He's kid died, and we attacked Zhao, but let Qi and Zhao walk together. Today, the Empress Dowager Zhao has passed away, but Zhao State should not be underestimated. ”

Fan Ju saw that after the death of Prince Qin, Qin Wangji lacked decisiveness to kill, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the best time to kill Zhao, you can't miss it!" ”

"Fan Xiang, don't forget. Although the Empress Dowager Zhao is gone, Zhao has many capable generals. Not to mention, Zhao has Lin Xiangru and Ma Fujun, as well as Lian Po who is the prince of Yongguan, Pingyuan Jun, who is the most virtuous in the clan, and Anping Jun who breaks Yan Fuqi. At this time, we can't get any bargains. ”

Just as Qin Wangji and Fan Ju were talking, above the main hall, the imperial physician Ling hurriedly walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has passed away." ”

"What did you say?" Seeing that the news came suddenly, Qin Wangji took the national letter in his hand and dropped it on the ground.

"The Queen Mother has passed away." This is the second time that the Imperial Doctor has seen King Qin who is so out of shape.

"The queen mother is gone." Qin Wangji sneered: "The queen mother hates widows! Before leaving, there was no one to say. ”

Seeing King Qin's compassion, Fan Ju hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, please mourn." ”

"They all said that the widow expelled the heroes and imprisoned the queen mother for the sake of this cold throne. The outnumbered people used force indiscriminately to attack the princes. In the end, he lost and the crown prince died. Now, the queen mother has passed away, and the people of the world are waiting to see the jokes of the widows. Qin Wangji's string was touched, and he was out of control, although his expression was very calm, there was a heart-rending feeling in his heart.

"The king is gone, and the queen mother is gone." Qin Wangji's eyes were extremely sad, "What's the point of a widow sitting on the world." A widow would rather be born in a commoner family and live out his life. Born in the emperor's family, but ruthless! ”

Fan Ju asked: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has passed away, and we are all weeping. In order to let the Qin State funeral the Queen Mother, we should honor the Queen Mother. ”

Qin Wangji asked, "Why do you think the widow should be honored as the queen mother?" ”

Fan Ju thought for a while, and then said: "Zhao Guozun called Empress Dowager Zhao Empress Dowager Wei, and Qi Guozun called King Qi King Qi Xiang. The queen mother has meritorious service to the Qin country and meritorious king. The Empress Dowager pacified the rebellion of the third army, stabilized the Qin State, destroyed the Southern Chu, broke the strong Qi, defeated the Three Jins, and pacified the troubles of the Qin State for hundreds of years without blood. The Empress Dowager's merits are far greater than those of Empress Zhao Wei and King Qi Xiang. How can we add the name of the queen mother to be stronger than that of Qi and Zhao. ”

"No one knows what you said. And there are, you don't dare to say, the widow said. Qin Wangji said: "The queen mother's merits, the widow will not talk about it." The widow will talk about the queen mother's past. There are three faults of the Queen Mother. First, the rebellion of Ji Jun, after punishing Hui, after chasing the martial arts, kill my clan. Qin almost changed his surname to Chu. ”

When Fan Ju heard this, a cold sweat broke out behind his back. What King Qin said, Fan Ju and the ministers all knew, but they didn't dare to say it. The rebellion of Ji Jun was indeed difficult for the Qin State. Qin Guoying's surname is Zhao, and he was almost controlled by the surname Chu.

"Colluding with the righteous canal and causing trouble to the Qin State is the second crime." Qin Wangji felt bitter and said: "The Queen Mother and Yiqu Shitong got married, and had two sons, which made the Qin State ridiculed by the princes, which not only damaged the national body of the Qin State, but also disloyal to her father. This is sin three. ”

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things are not informal." Fan Ju also knew that King Qin's intention to say the three sins of the Queen Mother was to show that he was correct in abolishing the Queen Mother.

"You're right, the Queen Mother is informal, so there is today's Qin State." Qin Wangji is also the capital: "The queen mother is the mother of the widow, and the things she does are borne by the widow." ”

Fan Ju thought of a word in his mind, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has made meritorious contributions to the Qin State, and she has also done it. The minister thought that the name of the Empress Dowager was 'Xuan'. ”

Qin Wangji thought about it, and also felt that this word was just right, and said loudly: "The widow posthumously named the Queen Mother as 'Xuan', and the order went down, and the whole country was mourned, and the Empress Dowager Xuan was sent to her." ”
