Except for last year's great victory, the war between Chu and Qin did not bring any 'waves' to the prosperous Xianyang... The 'spring' sun is warm, the warm breeze is blowing, and the nobles and officials are still accustomed to wearing Chu clothes to go out at home and visit the two banks of the Wei River's 'flowers' red willows and green. Everyone knew that the Qin army won a great victory in the Battle of Jiangyi and killed 20,000 Chu troops, but in the Battle of Qingshui, the Qin army was defeated and lost 30,000, but the court was a little secretive.

The general 'Meng' Wu who commanded this battle has been left to his post and idle, because he is not strong in battle and his strategy is repeated, but the persistence of the escort Sikong Ma at that time was praised - in this battle, the Qin army cavalry attacked the Chu army camp and captured the banner of the Chu general Xiang Yan, the victory or defeat was between the first line, and there was nothing wrong with insisting, and the general 'Meng' Wu panicked and mishandled it was a big mistake.

In addition to praising Sikong Ma, Li Xin, who led an army of more than 100,000 people to retreat, was also praised. The king of Qin also personally summoned Li Xin and asked him about the battle between the two armies at that time. The outcome is indeed uncertain, if the 'Meng' Wu could have been more decisive, or simply did not take any Jiangyi, and concentrated the 240,000 troops in one place, it would have been a great defeat for the Chu army. It's just that these are in the past.

"You say that the new king doesn't 'want' to marry my Qin State?" In the Huayang Palace on the north bank of the Wei River, the old queen mother was heartbroken for the '' of the mother country, but even if she tried her best to promote Qin Chu's 'friendship', some people did not appreciate it and sincerely regarded it as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Brother Wang is not 'wanting' to marry my Qin State," Xiong Qi did not return to Qin from Huaishui, nor did he return to Qin from the chasm, he went east along the Huaishui, re-entered the Yangtze River from Hangou, and returned to Qin from Nanjun to Qin, so it took more than a month.

"Why is that?" Zhao Ji appeared in his mind, Zhao Ji of Qin State has been imprisoned by the prince in Yongcheng Yeyang Guan, but Zhao Ji of Chu State is still living in Shouying Ruoying Palace.

"Brother Wang said, the safety of the Chu State will never be reliable and maintained, if Princess Qian doesn't want to marry into the Qin State, then she won't marry into the Qin State." Changping Jun smiled bitterly, but this was indeed what Brother Wang said personally.

"Ridiculous!" Mi Xuan, who helped the Queen Mother beat her back, heard that it was okay, and the Queen Mother was furious when she heard it. "How can the 'daughter' of the royal family marry if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to marry, she won't marry. Even the 'daughters' of the clan should not do the same. She finally added: "This must be Zhao's 'girl' who is doing it." ”

"Aunt, Brother Wang is smart and heroic, and he dares to act before he is young, and this heroic man is also. Heroic people, they don't want to marry a princess in order to seek the peace of a country......"

"Big fallacy! If it weren't for me, Chu's 'daughter' tried her best to protect her mother's *** country, and it was already destroyed by Wu State. Mi Xuan stood up violently, and she was naturally dizzy when she got up too violently, but fortunately, Mi Xuan hugged her, otherwise she might have fallen.

"Aunt is angry, and I will persuade Brother Wang again." Xiong Qi hurriedly helped Mi Thorn back to the seat and persuaded him in a harmonious voice.

"Then let the girl return to her home country quickly." The problem seems to have fallen on Mi Xuan's head again, Xiong Jing is young, and it is naturally inappropriate to marry a princess of Qin in the past, but Mi Xuan is the 'daughter' of the public office, and there is nothing wrong with her returning to Chu State.

"Auntie, I will let the girl go back to her home country at the end of the month." Xiong Qi hurriedly said, and after that, he looked at Qi Xuan worriedly. At the age of fourteen, she has to travel thousands of miles back and forth, and she is really wronged by this girl.

"I'm fine." Mi Xuan smiled brightly, "At the end of the month, it is the Shangsi Festival to the mother country." ”

"Your Majesty," even the temple people in Huayang Palace spoke in Chu, "Your Majesty, the king summoned your king to go to bed quickly." ”

"The king summoned me?" Xiong Qi was a little surprised. He had just come out of the main bed, and he had already 'handed over' the matter of the Qin-Chu water war to the national lieutenant, and suggested that he should not 'fight' with the Chu people.

"The king summoned the prime minister to the bedtime meeting." It was the voice of the palace attendants, and this was Huayang Palace, so they didn't dare to 'mess' intrude.

"The minister has seen the king." Zheng Ming Hall, Qin King Zhao Zheng is still sitting in the pile of bamboo slips, young and strong he always has endless 'fine' power, the bamboo slips browsed every day are hundreds of catties, Xiong Qi arrived when the King of Qin was still reading the bamboo slips.

"Prime Minister is exempt!" Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, was extremely polite to Xiong Qi. "The widow knows a new thing, so please ask the prime minister to discuss."

"Please, the king." After Xiong Qi finished speaking, he said: "Please also ask Prime Minister Zuo to ......."

"Prime Minister Zuo is still on the council, so there is no need to summon him." Qin Wangzheng finally put down the bamboo slip in his hand, "I heard that the king of Chu made paper, and tens of thousands of words can be written on one paper, and the front side can be written on the back after writing, is it true?" ”

"The king......" Xiong Qi was a little inexplicable, he felt that it was unlikely that the king urgently summoned him into the palace for Chu Paper. If the king wants to buy Chu paper, there are merchants in Xianyang City who sell it, and the price is not high, or a large sheet of five yuan. ”

"Dazhang? Five bucks? Qin Wangzheng also said casually that he was always interested in novelties.

"The minister has only heard about it, and he has not purchased it or seen it in person. A large piece of Chu paper can be cut into thirty small sheets, one penny or six. Xiong Qi continued. Not to mention the bamboo slips, even the wood is not as good, so everyone calls it convenient. ”

Jane is a piece of bamboo for writing, and 椠 is a piece of wood for writing. A piece of wood costs 0.3 yuan, which is twice as expensive as paper. The price of paper could have been higher, but at the moment Chu was short of money, in order to occupy the writing market in the whole world for a period of time, the price of paper was cheaper than that of Chu. Paper is like this, but the price of books is very expensive, books can be heirlooms, a book can easily count gold, ten gold, and it may not be copied. It's just that Chu paper entered Xianyang, and Chu Shu was snapped up by merchants as soon as he arrived in Daliang.

"If it weren't for the king of another country, the widow would have tried to invite the king of Chu to Xianyang to see him." Qin Wangzheng sighed. "Look at what such a smart person looks like."

"The king, the king of Chu is the child of the future." Xiong Qi saw that the king praised his younger brother, and he didn't dare to 'show' a trace of joy. "Although he is smart, he gives people a handle, and the people of the country decide the Chu government, and as soon as this policy comes out, the Chu country is weak."

The new policy of Chu is also the content of the discussion of the Yan Dynasty of the Qin Palace, and the government of the people of the dynasty is completely the government of weak soldiers in the eyes of the Legalists. The emphasis on culture and religion was also opposed by the ministers. Taking officials as teachers and law as teachings is the reality of the Qin State. If you know the law, you can be an official, but the official position is limited, teach all the people to understand the law, not to mention that there are not so many official positions, and the people all go to study the law, so who will go to war? Who will plow?

"The Chu people are weak or not, they are all stupid, not like the Zhao people." The matter finally turned to the point, Qin Wangzheng took out a bamboo slip and said, "The prime minister looks at it." ”

The bamboo slips are heavy, but when they are opened, they are Zhao characters. This is a 'private' letter written by the King of Zhao to the King of Qin, which begins with the title of 'Foot' in addition to the 'Foot' honorific title, and also calls himself a 'foreign minister'. The words are so humble, but the things mentioned in it are very important, especially the 'private' letter of Wen Xinhou Lu Buwei to Zhao, and the most important thing is to sacrifice the art of Chu State's great iron, no wonder he will urgently summon himself into the palace.

"What does the Prime Minister think?" A smile hung on the corner of Qin Wangzheng's mouth, "The art of great iron can not be obtained by the Chu State, but the Zhao State has offered it." Hehe. ”

"The king is willing to reconcile with Zhao Guo?" Xiong Qi's eyebrows jumped, he had just negotiated the Qin Chu Alliance the day before yesterday, and he was worried that the king would change his mind.

"Of course not." Qin Wangzheng's smile disappeared without a trace, "Whether it's 'private' hatred or public interests, everyone will destroy Zhao." However, since Zhao State sacrificed a huge iron technique for peace, why shouldn't King Zhao be promised? The 'door' of the Marquis of Wenxin is still running for his wailing, why not let the king of Zhao send the 'private' letter of the Marquis of Wenxin to Xianyang? ”

"The king wants to ......" These things offered by King Zhao, especially the evidence of Wenxin Hou Tongzhao, are urgently needed by the Qin State, but the Zhao State is the Qin State to attack immediately. Xiong Qi somewhat understood what the king meant, and some didn't.

"You say, if the State of Qin and the State of Zhao reconcile, what does the King of Zhao 'want'?" Qin Wangzheng looked at Xiong Qi and felt that he was a little sluggish today.

"King Zhao......" flashed in his mind, and Xiong Qi said: "If my Great Qin and Zhao Guo reconcile, Zhao Guo will be a Yan." ”

"Exactly!" Qin Wangzheng laughed, "When the Zhao army attacked Yan, my Qin army suddenly attacked Zhao ......,"

As if foreseeing the embarrassment of the Zhao people and the anger of the King of Zhao, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but laugh. Although the Yan State is weak, it has always kept the Zhao State on its back, as long as there is leisure, the Zhao army will definitely cut down Yan. Last time, Zhao Guo Fa Yan lost the thirty-seven cities of Jinyang, and this time Zhao Guo Fa Yan, I don't know if I will lose those cities again.

"The king is wise!" Xiong Qi was shocked into a cold sweat for some reason, and immediately looked at Qin Wangzheng.

"The prime minister is exempt, exempt." Qin Wangzheng laughed. "The matter of the alliance with Zhao will be 'handed over' to you to deal with, and no one shall mention the matter of cutting down Zhao, and those who violate it will be beheaded!"

"Respectfully obey the order!" Xiong Qi shook again, then left the Ming Hall, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to immediately summon the envoy Shijun of Zhao State. After explaining to the world the intention of King Qin and Zhao to reconcile, he went to Huayang Palace on the north bank of Weishui to find Mi Xuan.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Xianyang, the new city Jun's mansion seemed deserted, and a few skillful 'maids' were waiting for Mi Xuan to bathe. Although Xinchengjun's fiefdom has long been recovered, the big trees in the palace have not fallen, and this is still the residence revered by Xianyang dignitaries. In this way, the 'women' in the mansion naturally use the best rouge and the most beautiful clothes in the world.

The fox fur and curved skirt have long faded, and Mi Xuan, who entered the bathhouse, only wore a brocade jacket with a 'flower' pattern and 'fine' pattern, and the lower body was a skirt made of thick silk. The bathroom was foggy, her hair was coiled, and her face was flushed red. After the skirt was taken off, the white 'jade'-like 'buttocks' were 'exposed'. This is a hakama often worn by women, and the skirt hakama must be worn together, otherwise it will 'show' a pair of 'buttocks'.

Take off the skirt, then take off the hakama, and finally take off the brocade jacket, although there is still a white 'colored' silk coat left on the body because of shyness, but the young 'female' beautiful and thin body still makes the 'female' servants not want to blink. They also had it, but now it's gone.

"Ziqi is here." In front of the mansion, Xiong Qi's frame had not yet stopped, and Xincheng Jun Michang greeted the car.

"Where's the girl?" Xiong Qi opened his mouth and asked, he came directly from Huayang Palace.

"Where's Xuan'er?" Mi Chang didn't know what his granddaughter was doing. He has many grandchildren, but Mi Xuan is loved by the old queen mother.

"Your Excellency, the 'female' son is bathing." A 'maid' ran out.

"What's the matter with Ziqi? If you have nothing to do, you will not rest. Qi Chang grabbed Xiong Qi's hand and pulled him to the court.

"It's not a big deal." Xiong Qi breathed a sigh of relief, he was in a hurry about the iron technique, but it was useless to be anxious, even if the girl entered Chu tomorrow, he might not have time to stop this.
