Chapter 56
Outside the Qin Palace in Xianyang, Li Si and Zi Chu Pegasus rushed to the palace. They drove their mounts incessantly, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves made a nervous sound in the night, echoing through the great palace.
The guards at the palace gate had already received retribution, opened the forbidden door, and guided the horses straight to the harem.
The two arrived at the palace of King Qin, took their mounts, turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the inner hall. The two compartments were full of civil and military ministers, and their eyes followed Zichu's footsteps until the big wooden door that the samurai was waiting for was closed.
In the inner hall, King Qin was lying on the bed, his face was bloodless, and his breath was weak. Next to the bed, Mrs. Huayang, General Bai Qi, Taifu Yingzhi, and Doctor Lu Buwei stood there quietly. On the ground, kneeling were many sons of the Ying family.
Zi Chu walked lightly, came to the bed, knelt on the ground, and held one of King Qin's hands. "Father, father!" He called softly. "Erchen Zichu is back!"
Lü Buwei also bent down and called softly. "King! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned. ”
King Qin opened his eyelids vigorously, slightly embedded in the seams, and looked at Zi Chu. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said word by word: "Great Qin Foundation... Just leave it to... You, don't... There is a negative—" His eyes turned to Mrs. Huayang. "Negative Huayang... Queen mother! ”
"The son will treat Huayang's mother as his biological mother!" Zi Chu said. "My father rules the world, and his sons and sons will carry it forward!"
King Qin calmed down for a while, and then said strongly: "Be kind... Siblings, don't... Don't..."Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently, straightened up, and tilted his head to the side.
Taifu Yingzhi stepped forward to try his breath, looked at everyone, shook his head, and tears were already flowing. He turned around and sang loudly: "The king passes on the throne of Chu!" He pulled Zichu up, faced everyone, and took two steps back and fell to his knees.
Everyone was busy kneeling towards Zichu.
"The ministers obey the king's orders and support Zichu!" Win Zhi took the lead, and then, everyone agreed.
Win Ji got up and turned to the crowd. "The king has returned to heaven!"
In the hall, there was a sound of crying, accompanied by crying, and one after another sang to the inside and outside of the Qin Palace. "The king has returned to heaven! The crown prince ascended the throne. ”
For several days in a row, the Qin Palace was busy, not only for the funeral of the first king Zhang Luo, but also for the new monarch to succeed to the throne. And the busiest is indeed Lü Buwei. He had already received orders from the new king to take charge of everything, and he knew that a new dynasty had begun.
When An Guojun inherited the throne, although Bai Qi accepted it, he did not accept him in his bones. It is because he often circulates between their monarchs and ministers to resolve contradictions, so that there is no water and fire insoluble. But the ministers have a lot of criticism, who can guarantee that it will not be passed on to the palace, in addition, the crown prince Chu is very afraid of Bai Qi, these three dynasty elders are in the hands of the Great Qin soldiers, like a sharp sword, on his neck. But Bai Qi still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, above the royal court, under the government and the opposition, with an arrogant posture.
Lü Buwei knew that it was time to explain to Bai Qi. He wasn't afraid of Bai Qi, but he couldn't bear to watch his senior brother end up with a different body. And the only one who can really move him is Senior Sister Wenxiu, who is close to Xianyang.
Lü Buwei invited Wenxiu by car, and took advantage of the twilight to come to the General's Mansion.
Seeing Wenxiu in white, Jing burst into tears. He looked at the senior sister in front of him, and unconsciously flashed a scene of good times. "Senior sister! You are still alive, and you are living so freely, and you are happy in vain! ”
Wenxiu smiled and helped him wipe away his tears. "It's rare that the junior brother can still have such affection for Wenxiu, it seems that the current general still has the innocent shadow of his childhood."
"Of course!" Bai burst into tears, laughing. "In Bai Qi's life, he regarded Wenxiu as a senior sister and a mother, and in that era, he shared Yunmeng Wonderland and happiness! Alas! He sighed. Le Yi and I both envy Senior Sister and Senior Brother Gongsun, but I didn't expect that Senior Sister was missing, we all hate Ji Hu, but who knew that you Ji Qing was taken to the desert! ”
"Hahaha!" Wen Xiu smiled. "Life is impermanent! Now that you, the teacher, have lived so long, I really want to thank Mr. and Ji Qing! He looked at Lu Buwei. Otherwise, Wenxiu would have entered the loess early! ”
Senior sister was very emotional! Think about those who are nostalgic for fame, how can they not worry about the country and the people, and hold hatred all the time. What's more, like the elder brother, he has been striving to be loyal to the monarch all his life, but he is also destroying the door and beheading, the old grave and the new soil, in exchange for a few sighs of emotion! Lu Buwei said. Like Senior Sister like this, he must respond to Mr. 's words, he has a place in the immortal class! ”
"How can Wenxiu have such virtuous and extravagant hopes! Only to cure the world's pain, there is no desire and no desire! She turned to Bai Qi. After having the fate to meet Senior Brother Lu, I knew the situation of Mr. and all the junior brothers, and I was more grateful for the virtue of Mr. and Zhu'er, Wenxiu had a wish, and wanted to go to Yunmeng Mountain again in his lifetime to meet Mr. and Zhu'er, if they don't give up, they will accompany him to the end of his life! ”
"Senior Brother Le Yi has been apprenticed in Dongyu Village." Bai Qi said. "I really miss my senior sister, if my senior sister arrives, I don't know how happy Mr. and Senior Brother Le should be!"
"Of course!" Wen Xiu sighed. "I heard that you have become famous among the countries, and the Qin State is a hero who dominates the world, I don't know if you are willing to go north to Yunmeng Mountain with your senior sister?"
"This..."Bai Qi bowed his head, and then sighed on his back: "I'm afraid that Mr. doesn't want to see me!" ”
"Senior brother doesn't know, senior sister is so old, Mr. Dangzhi is more concerned about you in his heart. He's just using this way to make you understand how much they love you and hope you live a long life. Mr. treats you and Le Yi like his own sons, and the white-haired man sends the black and white man into the ground, you really can't understand this pain! Moreover, since ancient times, how can there be a victorious general, just as the grass is green every year, and the sprouts become soil, only if you know the way of heaven, you can be born! ”
"Senior sister is here..."Bai Qi looked at Lu Buwei. Senior Brother Lu has good intentions! ”
Lu Buwei wanted to speak and stopped, he looked at Wen Xiu.
"This is all brotherhood!" Wen Xiu sighed. "With such affection, Senior Brother Bai, you should be happy!"
Bai Qi nodded deeply, and he looked at Lu Buwei. "What do you want me to do?"
Lü Buwei stood up and bowed with a long bow. "Senior brother, when the new monarch ascends the throne, he should stand up, and when the new monarch is rewarded, he should push back, hand over the military power, and do not go to the fief. Xianyun Yehe, in fact, is the god worshiped by the Qin people, on the contrary, the senior brother is mighty, but he is the target of everyone! ”
Wen Xiu looked at Bai Qi's gaze and nodded.
Lu Buwei looked at Bai Qi's gaze and nodded.
In the palace hall, after the new monarch ascended the throne, the drum music stopped. Prince Chu of Zhuang Xiang wears a crown and looks at the court.
Taifu Yingzhi sang loudly: "Ga Lu Buwei is the prime minister, and he is in charge of all the important things!" The general Bai Qi is willing to be the first king to keep filial piety for three years, but the general, Daliang made all the positions, enjoyed the service of Wu Anhou, recommended Wang Jian as the general, and the king was allowed to play! ”
"Long live the king, long live it!"
The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the ancient road, and a carriage walked slowly. Next to him, a burly middle-aged man rode on a horse, leisurely looking into the distance, chatting with the old man in the car about the past of Yunmeng Wonderland.
On the far city wall behind him, Lü Buwei looked at it affectionately, his eyes full of tears.
