After the change, beheading almost became the only way for Qin to ascend to the throne (in the eleventh year of King Huiwen of Qin, the prince was sealed in Shu; In the second year of King Wu of Qin, Gongzi Yun was sealed in Shu; In the seventh year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, the son of Gongzi Yun was sealed in Shu. After the reform, the Qin State was not without military merits and knighthood, there are still exceptions). But in essence, ploughing and warfare are the form, and seeking profit is the quality, once the promotion is too fast, we must try to cut the knighthood.

The honorable scholar system of the state of Chu also involved such issues. Honor is the most important thing, and honor must also be supported in kind. If you can't expand your territory, you will have nothing to seal. The state of Chu has nothing to seal, and can only rely on the income of foreign trade to support thousands of honorary soldiers. It is better to seal it, between saving Zhao and attacking Qin, Yushi hopes to attack Qin instead of saving Zhao.

Among all government affairs, attacking Zhao is the most important. The core of attacking Zhao is Li Mu again, and Li Mu's solution can only rely on assassination in the current situation, rather than capturing Fanwu City. This city was reinforced and heightened with cement produced by the Chu State, and it could not be captured in a short time.

"The king, tomorrow the Empress Dowager will be buried, and the ministers ......" The picture in charge of the guard entered the announcement, and he saw that the national captain was on the side, so he didn't say much.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Wei Tu asked for the issue of the guards for tomorrow's funeral, and Zhao Zheng trusted Wei Yu and did not wave him back.

"The minister is worried that Chu Zhao's cavalry is coming again, and he wants to be buried with the pawn of the third lieutenant to ensure the integrity of the king." Wei Wei Tu said. What happened three months ago was very worrying, and he was going to send all the guards to the funeral.

"Not necessarily." Zhao Zheng frowned when he heard the pawn of the third lieutenant. Tomorrow the funeral will be held, and in the morning the guests of all nations will come to pay their respects for the last time. Dispatch 30,000 people to protect him, and he will only make the guests laugh at the frightened birds. "Three thousand is enough."

"Three thousand less." Wei Weitu was taken aback.

"One more thousand domains is enough." The tomb of King Qin Xiaowen, where the Empress Dowager Zu was buried, is more than 80 miles southeast of Xianyang, and the journey is up to three days. After the last attack, Beidi County and Shangjun have strengthened their vigilance, and Yan's Fortress has even been closed for several months. King Jing is reported to have been hidden outside the fortress, and even if he dared to come, the number of people would only be smaller than before, and not more than before.

Zhao Zheng thought that Xiong Jing would not come, but in the Xianyang Post House, some people thought that Xiong Jing would come. Lu Chan was looking at him, half-convinced.

"After the funeral, the son of the girl will marry the king of Qin, and if the king does not come, he will regret it." Lu Gao said his judgment, it was for this reason that he pulled Lu Qian as the personal companion of Qu Sui and Yang Wenjun's brother Songyang Jun Yang Xin to re-enter Qin, in order to cover up, both of them stuck fake beards. "Only when the funeral is out of the city, the princess can go out of the city......"

"What should I do?" Lu Chan didn't want to hear too much speculation about what he wanted to do.

"You go and see Dr. Qu and ask him to allow me to send the coffin to the coffin with Songyangjun." Lu Gao Dao.

Guests can only pay respects in the morning before entering the car, and the coffin can only be brought to the tomb within five suits. Songyang Jun is the same as Yang Wenjun's nephew, and he is the third rank of the five suits, which can send the coffin outside the mausoleum. Lu Gao likes to assign Lu Chan to do things, but this time Lu Chan has not invited Qu Sui to see him, so Qu Sui has asked someone to summon the two of them.

"Early tomorrow morning, you can send the Empress Dowager out of the city with Songyangjun." The large room where Qu Sui lived was very quiet, and Songyangjun was also sitting on the side. Lu Gao was as unaware as ever, but Lu Gao felt a different atmosphere. When he wanted to ask, he relented, "Don't say more. You wait. ”

"I'll retire." With a belly full of suspicions, Lu Gao and Lu Qian exited the room together. Soon the servants sent a linen cloth made of great merit, and they will wear this linen clothes to be buried with Songyangjun tomorrow.

This night, Lu Chan slept soundly as usual, but Lu Gao did not sleep all night. He didn't want to think much about what would happen today, but his mind was uncontrollable and cranky all night. At dawn, the lights were turned on outside, and the servants began to wait for everyone to get up, and Lu Gao put on a piece of chain mail before putting on his clothes and sackcloth.

Lu Chan, who had just woken up, was a little stunned when he looked at him like this, and was stunned for a while before he said, "Why are you wearing armor?" ”

"The king will come today." Lu Gao wore armor and a sword. Not one sword, but two swords, one long and one short. After putting on the Dagong linen clothes, only the hilt and head of the sword are exposed at the waist.

Lu Chan didn't say much, and he also put on his armor like him, and he also wore two swords on his left waist. When he went out, Songyang Jun swept the swords on the waists of the two and shook his head helplessly.

Before dawn, the temple has set up a memorial to the god of the thorns, and the coffin covered by the curtain stops behind the ancestral foundation. Perhaps it was too early, the five tripods and the spiritual artifacts displayed under the fire were all gloomy colors, but the one-person-high coral sent by Qu Sui on behalf of the Chu State emitted a colorful light. This is a treasure imported from West Asia, and guests are required to give gifts to the deceased before burial to aid in the burial. All the guests who come to pay their respects will pay attention to this coral.

Lu Gao and Lu Qian stood silently behind Songyang Jun, looking at the guests who came and went and Zhao Zheng who stood in front of the coffin to thank the guests. When the dawn passed, the people who had evacuated the coffin came and began to remove the funeral, and the cart carrying the coffin was also put on a horse. Someone began to read aloud, counting the gifts of the guests. At this time, Lu Gao saw Xiong Qi's gaze sweeping over, and when he touched himself, he flashed away. Nearly two hours later, after reading the dispatch (that is, the thing that entered the circle), everyone began to cry, and slowly got into the car and drove out of the temple and drove to the north gate of Xianyang.

As the Empress Dowager of the Qin Kingdom, the guests gave gifts, and the abundance of burial vessels and the number of funeral people were almost like kings. The coffin sailed out of the north gate very late, and by the time Lu Gao and Lu Chan left the north gate, the sun was already in the sky. The mighty procession bypassed half of Xianyang City, crossed the still frozen Weishui, and marched to the tomb of King Qin Xiaowen in the northwest of Lishan.

The north is a dark place, and the car must enter and leave the city through the north gate. And Xianyang City is eighty miles away, and the tomb of King Qin Xiaowen to go to is in the south, so it will be thirty miles more than the whole trip. If you go fast for more than 110 miles, you can reach it in two days, and if you go slowly, it will take three days. After crossing the Weishui, Lu Gao and Lu Qian were on high alert, but unfortunately, nothing happened except for the funeral procession that stretched for more than ten miles in front of them, and except for the north wind that was still howling behind them.

When the sun set, Lu Chan, who had been nervous for a day, exhaled heavily and said, "Today is over......"

"Silence!" Just as Lu Chan was talking, Lu Gao seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and he hurriedly spoke to stop Lu Chan from speaking. Fortunately, the sound of horses' hooves did not disappear, but got closer and closer. Several knights dressed in stone armor followed a chariot from the front of the procession slowly, and in Lu Gao's expectation, the temple people in the car shouted: "The king has an order, camp five miles ahead." The king has an order, and the camp is five miles ahead......"

"Hey!" Even Lu Gao himself sighed, he thought that it was the king who led the Chu Zhao knights to run again, but he didn't expect it to be an order to camp. "How many miles have you traveled?" Lu Gao turned slightly to look at the succession, and in the twilight he saw the tall Xianyang City not far away.

"I don't know how many miles." Lu Chan didn't look back, he only remembered that he had only crossed Weishui for a few miles. "Forty miles."

"Forty miles, the day after tomorrow will only arrive at the cave, and the king will come tomorrow." Lu Gao calculated the itinerary and put hope for tomorrow. Unfortunately, the next day, as the day before, from morning to noon, I stopped and camped, except for the chariot that ordered the rider, nothing happened on the white snowfield, but an elk ran out of nowhere after camping.

Lu Gao and Lu Gao were surprised that there were deer on the plateau, and the Qin people had no feeling about it. There are many palaces in Weinan, Zhiyang Palace, Mingyang Palace, Changyang Palace, Yichun Palace, these palaces are all in Weinan. These palaces and many gardens, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Shanglin Garden is based on the Qin Palace, the garden is built. Weinan does not say that a deer runs out, but a tiger and a bear run out, and the Qin people will not be surprised.

"Fifty miles today." One day without waves, when he was about to sleep, Lu Chan said a word.

"Tomorrow will come, and the king will come." Lu Gao replied abruptly, he hated himself a little for not bringing Lu Lijing, otherwise he would be able to see farther away. When he was about to say something more, Lu Chan was already snoring.

The first time I traveled forty miles, the second day I traveled fifty miles, and on the third day, I only walked less than thirty miles, and I arrived at the mausoleum outside the tomb of King Qin Xiaowen. Rest here for one day, and the next day the coffin will be buried. Lu Gao no longer said tomorrow, and directly asked Lu Chan not to sleep at night. The mausoleum is a small town built outside the royal tomb for the king's burial, worship, and vigilance. The king dwelt in the city, and the rest of the people lived mostly on the hill.

"The king will come?" Lu Qian has always believed in Lu Gao, but this time, his judgment has been out of order.

"I am waiting to stay outside the Lingyi, and the princess is also outside the Lingyi, and if the king does not come, he will regret it." Lu Gao's scalp is a little stiff. He rarely misjudged things, especially one after another.

"I believe in you again, and I will not sleep today." Lu Chan nodded, and the two sat with their swords in their hands, sleepless all night. When the people of the Heavenly Mandate Temple ordered everyone to leave the city and go to the village, Lu Gao finally admitted defeat and said: "I made a mistake! ”

"Three days when you come, maybe three days when you return, why is the king not on the return......" Lu Qian did not blame, he said that the standard reputation is always on guard, always on the battlefield.

"Impossible." Lu Gao shook his head in discouragement. "When you come, you will be ordered by five suits, everyone will have a rank, and there will be nothing when you return. The captain is more than ten miles, if the king comes, how will he know where the young man is? Moreover, the royal tomb is near Xianyang, and there are many scouts, if the king comes, where will he avoid us and return to the city? ”

"Xu is the king is delayed on the road." Lu Qian guessed. Lu Gao didn't have a problem with him, and his expression was determined that the king would not be able to appear when the team returned to the city. As he expected, there was nothing unusual on the way back to the city for two consecutive days.

On the morning of the third day, the temperature was suddenly cold, the sky was extremely dark, and when it was noon in Weishui, Xianyang City was already in sight. Somehow, Lu Qian remembered what Lu Gao had said many times: "If the king does not come, he will regret it." He let out a long sigh, and his grip on the sword finally let go, then clenched it again.
