Chapter 103: Today
Xin Sheng was still a step late, when the cavalry brigade led by him arrived, the chariots and servants on the official road were in chaos, and they did not see the first to go out of the city.
Someone was crying in the wind, and a knight ran over and said, "General Yu, the people of Mi Liang have taken away King Jing, and the Mi clan can't stop crying." ”
"Oh?" Xin Sheng sighed, there were some things he didn't say well: King Jing entered Qin twice for the sake of Mi Liangren, and he would definitely be the queen when he was taken back. In the Qin State, he is just a good person, but in the Jing State, he is the queen, and no matter how they cry, it is a bit fake.
"Announce the king, the national lieutenant, the Jing people are kidnapping the good people, and they are about to leave Qin, please ......" Xin Sheng originally wanted Feixun to notify the counties and rob and kill King Jing, but the wind and snow were so big that Feixun was useless.
The knight beside the "General ......" was waiting for Xin Sheng's order, and when he saw that he was silent, he hurriedly asked.
"Please order the counties to intercept it." Xin Shengdao. After speaking, he looked at the riders gathered at his side, "Don't go around to detect it yet!" ”
Such a big wind and snow to reconnoiter around is just for show, the cavalry general originally wanted to wait for the dozens of horsemen who left the city first to send people back to report the news, but Xin Sheng wanted to reconnoiter around by himself, and they could only reconnoiter around.
After Xiong Jing brought Mi Xuan on the horse, Jing Fei blew the horn. The horn is the order to retreat, and the knights who sneak into Xianyang by relying on the order cannot ride the dragon horse that reveals their identity, but there is a Takahashi saddle and no Takahashi saddle, and there are stirrups and no stirrups, and they take a big advantage in the fight. Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the knights immediately galloped into the wind, and the cavalry hurriedly pursued, and the knight's speed deliberately slowed down, and when the two sides were close to twenty or ten steps, they suddenly turned around and released their arrows.
The eagle feather arrow resists the wind and is strong, and it is a tailwind, and the horse is caught off guard, and many people fall off the horse with arrows in front of the door. The remaining dozen horsemen did not dare to chase closely, so they could only hang behind the last knight, watching the Jing King in front get farther and farther away, and finally disappeared in the wind and snow.
When he carried Mi Xuan on the horse, Xiong Jing deliberately put her in the front saddle instead of the back saddle, he didn't want her to be shot by the Qin people in pursuit. Sitting in the front saddle, there were still tears, and she was dragged off the carriage by him like a puppet and carried onto the horse by him. She didn't dare look at him, she didn't dare make contact with him, but as soon as the mount began to gallop, she involuntarily fell into Xiongjing's arms, clutching the sheep's fur on him.
Even in her dreams, she never thought that the two would be able to meet, to meet in this situation. She thought that she could only go to Huangquan first and wait quietly, but everything happened so suddenly that she thought it was all a dream. Her stiff and hot body completely relaxed at this moment, leaning on the man's arms and falling into a deep sleep.
"I've seen the king...... "The night is black, and the dream seems to wake up." Under the light of the fire, Mi Xuan found herself deep in a courtyard.
"I've seen the king." More people rushed forward to salute, but their eyes couldn't help but look at her. When the man dismounted, he whispered in her ear: "Dismount yourself." ”
The stirrup hung on the saddle, and Mi Xuan stepped on it to dismount - she had dismounted in Chen Ying a few years ago. However, when Pi Tu touched the ground, her numb legs could not support her body, and the man's hand reached over, but he did not wrap his arms around her waist after all. Relying on the strength of her arms, she endured the discomfort and stood up straight.
"From this day on, she will be the queen of the world." Xiong Jing looked at the knight in front of him, and announced with his hand holding on to Qi Xuan. "From this day onwards, the queen will begin to sue the temple."
"The ministers have seen the queen." Fu Jing, Lu Gao and others had smiles on their faces, this was not only the queen of the king, but also the queen of Chu. "Congratulations to the king!" After saluting, they shouted congratulations to Xiong Jing.
"Still in the enemy country, rest." It was already the second half of the night, and everyone was already tired, so it was necessary to rest for a while.
The knight retreated, and seeing that Mi Xuan on his side was still in a trance, Xiong Jing pulled her into the room, looked at her and said, "From today on, forget that you are a Mi Liang person, forget Xinchengjun and your father, and it is better to forget Qin Guo." You're just the wife of Bu Yan, the queen of Chu......"
Unlike at that time in Yingdu, Mi Xuan had also grown up, her face was like jade under the light, the girl's immature innocence was no longer gone, and her weeping face was quiet and calm. If Xiong Qi hadn't given the portrait beforehand, Xiong Jing would probably not have recognized her. Of course, this is just a face, and the shadow of the past can still be found between the eyebrows and eyes when examined under the lights.
The man suddenly stopped talking and talking, and when Mi Xuan looked up, he stared straight at him, and her face instantly turned red. When she bowed her head, she softly agreed, "Yui." ”
"Help me change my clothes," Xiong Jing naturally commanded, and then added: "And bathing." ”
*
Yesterday's wind and snow stopped before dawn, and the news that King Jing had re-entered Qin and that Mi Liangren had been taken away by him was facing up, and no one dared to mention it. The king's wife and concubine were robbed by King Jing, isn't it to slap the king in the face when he mentions this? Although the court discussion was lively, it was as if it had never happened, and the ministers only discussed other things. It wasn't until the Zheng Dynasty dispersed that Zhao Zheng retreated to the main bed of the road gate, and Xincheng Jun Mi Chang and Mi Xuan's father Mi Ling hurried to Qutai Palace to plead guilty.
"King Jing is a barbarian, raising a sword to give birth to the beloved daughter of a captive minister, and the minister is not able to compete with him." He paused again and again to talk about what happened yesterday afternoon. It is never a good thing that his daughter was snatched away, but the robbery has already been snatched away, and what can he do.
"Why don't you go to Jingguo...... Zhao Zheng's face was cloudy, and in front of Xiong Qi, he didn't laugh angrily. King Jing married Mi Liang as the queen, and Mi Qing was King Jing's maternal uncle. ”
"The king, the king, the minister is a Qin minister, how can he enter Jing?!" He was in a hurry, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to pause again: "Please forgive the king!" Excuse me, the king......"
"Stand down!" Xinchengjun Michang also pleaded, and Zhao Zheng raised his sleeves and asked them to step back. The two of them didn't know what was going on, so they could only get up and leave. As soon as the two left, before they went down the stairs, they heard a 'bang' in the hall, and then Zhao Zheng's fierce voice.
“…… King Jing re-entered Xianyang and took the widow's wife and concubine, this light widow is also! "Anger has been accumulating in Zhao Zheng's heart since yesterday, this is a naked humiliation, but what is even more infuriating is that he has no way to do it.
"The king, the minister has ordered all counties to strictly investigate Fu Chuan and Dasuo ......" The king was furious, and Wei Yu hurriedly confessed.
"What's the use of strict investigation? What's the use of the big rope! Zhao Zheng glared at Wei Yi, and also at Xiong Qi, Li Si, Zhao Yong and others. King Jing can come, why can't he go? What is the spy geometry of the widowed Qin State Kwantung Hou? What is the geometry of those who are eager to Jing people? ”
Zhao Zheng asked, no one dared to agree to his words, and Li Si, who wrote the "Book of Expulsion of Guests", bowed his head deeply. Nominally, this is the Qin State of Zhao Zheng, but in essence, this is the Qin State of millions of officials, especially the Kwantung Keqing. Zhao Zheng can appoint and dismiss anyone and do anything, but he can't dismiss officials like Chu State, just as he can't grab his hair and lift himself off the ground.
Domination has always been about one part of the people ruling over another, not one person ruling over all. Even a king cannot harm the interests of the ruling group. In the past, the ruling group of the Qin State was the nobles surnamed Ying who forced Qin Huaigong to death, but now, the ruling group of the Qin State is a million officials headed by the Kwantung Keqing. What's the difference? From the point of view of the political system, there is actually no difference.
The rampant spies of the Hou of Kwantung, the miraculous rise of the Chu State, and the ...... of the Zhao State being unable to attack and losing consecutive battles for a long time all seem to indicate that the strength of the Qin State is coming to an end, and the era of Chu dominating the world is coming. The guest secretaries, who were originally disdainful of the Kwantung countries, softened more and more, and those with low status and courage even began to lose their sincerity in advance.
As a king, Zhao Zheng could sense this trend, but he could not reverse it. This trend could not be reversed by issuing a few decrees and admonishing his ministers. This is the general trend of war, iron and blood. Unless, the Qin State can immediately destroy Zhao, and after destroying Zhao, it will connect the Qi State and completely isolate the Chu State, creating a trend of general momentum in Qin, otherwise......
The ministers retreated, and only Wei Yu was left in the hall, and he had something very important to report.
"Chunping Hou died of illness?!" Zhao Zheng was extremely surprised and had some joy, the Marquis of Chunping was named Xiangbang, but he was actually the king of Zhao. His death will inevitably cause political instability within the Zhao state.
"Yes, yes." Wei Yu also stayed alone to tell because this was a happy event. "Marquis Qin confirmed that Marquis Chunping had died. Zhao people said that he was sick, but the people in the palace said that Chunping Hou died after entering the palace. ”
"Who killed him?" Zhao Zheng asked urgently.
"I don't know." Wei Yu replied. The people of the palace temple only said that the Marquis of Chunping entered the palace at night, sang and danced and drank with the Empress Dowager Zhao, and died the next day. It was also said that the Empress Dowager Zhao was promiscuous, and Zhao mourned the death of King Xiang and the Marquis of Chunping. ”
Empress Dowager Zhao's background is too lowly, even if she is a Zhao person, she will inevitably think about some things crookedly. The news that Qin Hou got was just a scandal in the market, which did not help Qin Guo make a correct judgment: what forces killed Chunping Hou? What's next for this force? What could Qin do to get the most out of it and thus destroy Zhao?
"Let the Marquis of Handan investigate quickly, so that the Zhao people will fight more fiercely." Without accurate intelligence judgment, Zhao Zheng could only give an order in principle.
In fact, whether he gives an order or not, the internal struggle within Zhao will become more and more fierce - Chunping Marquis is the prince of Zhao who attaches equal importance to Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao Mourning Xiang, and after the Changping War, King Zhao Xiaocheng, who hated Qin to the bone, cultivated him so that he could resist Qin and survive the state in the future. Later, he was detained by the Qin people and did not return, so that Zhao Yan, who was supported by the Lord and faction, could become king.
When Zhao Yan died and Zhao Qian ascended the throne by his father, the two factions of the Zhao State were already on the same page,-for-tat. It is he, who suppresses the rampage of the main war faction, and prevents the main and faction from cutting the land, fighting in the fall, and water and fire are rejecting and blending with him as the center. But now he's dead. His death is not the end, but the beginning.
