Chapter 5 The Qin People
Zhao's strategy has always been better than that of Chu, and it was so clever that Concubine Zhao, the empress dowager of Chu, was also 'abandoned' by Zhao. But it is also possible that because Concubine Zhao is the empress dowager of Chu State, Zhao State 'abandoned' Concubine Zhao, but Chu State could not abandon Concubine Zhao, she is the biological mother of the king after all. Concubine Zhao was silent for several days after learning about the whole incident, and closed the door and no longer saw guests. When Xiong Jing returned from Qi to greet Beichen Palace, it was as if nothing had happened to the mother and son.
But it's not all the same. Since then, Concubine Zhao has no longer seen Queen Yingnan, and occasionally she will scold her. As a result, Yingnan overflowed once, and was later rescued by the healer; Empress Dowager Zhao Lingluo stayed in Yingdu until the beginning of summer and May before leading Sima Mao and other Zhao pawns back to Daliang, Zhao Ying, the king of Xiangbang Plain, was responsible for this matter, and Zhao Ying committed suicide the next day she returned to Daliang, and it was Zhao Heng, the king of Pingyang, who took over the position of Xiangbang.
In order to resist Qin's plan, in the eyes of the whole world, it is fake that Concubine Zhao wants to kill Mi Xuan, and Sima Mao's attack on Xiaoyi in the south of the city is also fake, Chu and Zhao are like brothers, and the brothers have pit the Qin people this time, if it is not for Qi Guo rashly pursuing Wang Qian, Qin is estimated to have died......
Of course, Mi Xuan knew the truth, and the Mi clan also knew the truth of the matter, and the whole clan was even more wary of Zhao Guo. Xiong Jing said that Concubine Zhao wanted to see Xiong Sheng, but Mi Xuan did not agree, the reason is very simple, she is the daughter of the Mi family, how can the children of the daughter of the Mi family see the queen mother?
Xiong Jing had no way to do this reason for his wife, and it was not easy to refuse the queen mother's side, the matter was frozen for several days, and during this time, Mi Xuan, who lived in Yingdu, came up with an idea: she asked Mi Xuan to go to Dongcheng Mansion to see some jewelry rouge, and the queen mother also came at that time, taking advantage of a moment of interval, let Xiong Jing take out the child and let the queen mother see it.
There are also several unmarried princesses such as Mi Xin and Mi Yue; The married princesses in Yingdu, such as Mi Qin, Mi Rou, and Mi Pan, also came. Mi Xuan is the princess, married out and became the wife of the Marquis of Yiyang, and she is still the posture of the former princess, and more than a dozen reports have recruited all the sisters.
Mi Xuan didn't want to see Concubine Zhao, but never refused to see Mi Xuan, the sisters of her husband, on the day of her departure, she got up early to bathe, dressed up for almost an hour before taking the child, and Mi Ni, Mi and a few people entered the city, Xiong Jing did not go to Xiaoyi, and waited directly in the south gate.
"I've seen the king." Mi Tong drove for his sister, and as soon as he entered the city, he saw the long-awaited king.
"I've seen the king." In the carriage, there were two maids holding the child, and Mi Xuan wore a edge robe, and her hair was not added or inserted, but simply tied; The white slug on the face is not heavy, but a faint layer; The lip color and eyebrow color are not heavy, and they don't seem to be painted. The only thing that distinguishes her from ordinary aristocratic women is the aroma on her body, which is the taste of Su Hexiang.
"It's beautiful." After looking at his wife from head to toe, Xiong Jing commented with a smile.
"Why is the king, why is the king here...... The couple have been respectful to each other since last spring, and her husband's gaze made Mi Xuan's body slightly hot, and she felt that her face was very hot.
"The woman sings with her husband, Xuan'er is here, why can't I be here?" The couple seemed to be a communicator, and his wife's reaction Xiong Jing could feel it, he reached out and wanted to hold Mi Xuan into his arms, but he thought that he couldn't break his word, and at the same time he had to be restrained, and his outstretched hand finally touched his crown, and he said after embarrassment: "The queen mother will come back later." ”
Mi Xuan wanted to laugh when she saw her husband's moves, but she couldn't laugh when she heard that Concubine Zhao was coming. "Today's meeting is for Katsura, right?" She guessed something.
"Yes." Xiong Jing thought about it and still felt that he shouldn't deceive his wife. One lie always follows the next, as brave as he is, disdainful of lying to anyone, including enemies. "If Xuan'er doesn't want to, she can return at this time. I will tell you that I will not complain to you. ”
There was no sound in the carriage, Mi Ni wanted to speak, but her sister didn't speak, she had to remain silent, Mi Xuan lowered her head and thought about it a few times, pinching the corner of her clothes with her hand for a long time before asking, "Just a sight?" ”
"This is Wang Sun, how can the queen mother ......" Xiong Jing knew that Mi Xuan was worried, and he even blamed himself for telling his wife too many things before, misleading his wife, and making her think too much now. Zhao people regard the queen mother as an abandoned son, and now the queen mother does not want to be involved in state affairs anymore, she just wants to see Sheng'er, if she dreams of her father in her dreams in the future, she can also tell her father that I have an heir. ”
"Yes." Maybe Xiong Jing said it was true, or maybe Concubine Zhao would really dream of her father, Mi Xuan nodded. Mi Ni, who was holding Xiong Sheng beside her, shook her head again and again, she instinctively didn't believe Zhao Ren.
"Good." Xiong Jing was overjoyed. "The Queen Mother is just seeing you for a moment, a moment. Picked up in a moment. ”
"The king, Sheng'er is held by the concubine, and the queen mother can see it if she wants to." Mi Ni stood up. Although Xiong Jing said that she only saw it for a moment, she was worried that Concubine Zhao would not return it when she saw Sheng'er.
"No." Glancing at Mi Ni and then at his wife, Xiong Jing agreed.
The carriage, which had been parked on the inside of the south gate for a long time, moved forward again, and before entering the Yiyang Marquis Mansion, Mi Xuan took the sisters to meet each other at the bottom of the steps. Xiong Jing got out of the car, they had seen Xiong Jing in their lives, and Mi Xuan Mi Ni hugged Xiong Sheng and got out of the car, they were first surprised by the child that Mi Ni was holding, and then said that they had seen Mi Nu Gongzi. Before the son-in-law finished shouting, she hurriedly surrounded Xiong Sheng again.
"It is indeed similar to Brother Wang. Haha, smiled...... "Mi Ni was surrounded by them, and several unmarried princesses rushed to the front. Mi Xuan, Mi Qin, and Mi Rou who got married took Mi Xuan's hand and spoke, and Mi Qin also said in Mi Xuan's ear: "Brother Wang will make you queen in the future." Hearing this, Mi Xuan's ears turned red.
"Where is the queen mother?" Xiong Jing asked Concubine Zhao directly, which surprised Mi Xuan, she glanced at Mi Xuan and understood the change in things, so she apologized to Mi Xuan and smiled: "The queen mother is in the side room of the general chapter." ”
"Let Mi Ni carry Sheng'er into the court, and let the queen mother see her." Xiong Jing looked at Mi Ni and the child who were surrounded by her sisters and said.
"Good." The sneaky meeting is indeed not as good as the open meeting, Xiong Jing and Mi Xuan climbed the steps directly into the Ming Hall, and Mi Ni and Mi Xuan together, holding the child through the hall and going to the court. As soon as the curtain in the hall shook, Mi Ni and the child she was holding could no longer be seen, and Mi Xuan suddenly grabbed Xiong Jing's knightly suit.
"For a moment, just for a moment." Xiong Jing couldn't help but comfort her: "Ni'er is holding Sheng'er, it's fine, it's going to be fine." ”
Since the birth of the child, Xiong Sheng has not left the sight of Mi Xuan for a moment, and now that she is suddenly gone, her whole person is immediately at a loss, and her eyes have been staring at the curtain where Mi Ni disappeared just now. Xiong Jing's comfort was ineffective, and several times she wanted to get up and go to the room, but was stopped by Xiong Jing.
"If you don't return in another half a moment, the widow will go in person." Xiong Jing said lightly. His words finally made Mi Xuan turn around. When she opened her lips to speak, the seat of the house suddenly shook violently, and at the same time, all the cups on several tables jumped, and the tea splashed everywhere, and then a 'boom' came from afar.
"Ah......" Mi Qin and the others, Mi Pan, who had experienced an earthquake in Zhao State, said urgently: "The earth moves, this is the earth moves......"
"Non-ground motion." If there is no final 'boom', it should be the earth's movement, and if there is a 'boom', the ground is not moving. Xiong Jing, who felt that there was an accident in the mansion, changed his face slightly, and when he turned around, he found that his wife was gone.
"Fu is afraid, this place moves, and Zhao Guo ......moves from time to time" In the court, Concubine Zhao was holding Xiong Sheng and talking, unaware of the shaking of the house just now. Qi Xuan ran into the room and heard her voice.
The majestic queen mother has become a rickety old woman, she protected her grandson when she moved just now, and when she saw her grandson scared, she wanted to cry, and she comforted her gently. It's a pity that Xiong Sheng didn't know her, and he didn't see his familiar mother, so he cried out.
"Mi Xuan has seen the Queen Mother." In the child's crying, Mi Xuan said urgently.
"The Queen Mother." Xiong Jing also hurried over, and only then did Concubine Zhao raise her head, and the wrinkles and dark spots on her face startled Mi Xuan. In her memory, Concubine Zhao had never been like this, and she couldn't imagine that the graceful and luxurious Concubine Zhao would become like this.
"Queen Mother......" Xiong Jing shouted again, and stretched out his hands to pick up the child.
Although Concubine Zhao was reluctant to hear this, she also handed Xiong Sheng to her son, but halfway she glanced at Qi Xuan, her hand retracted, and she said, "No." ”
"The Queen Mother." Xiong Jing couldn't cry or laugh, knelt a few steps forward and said: "If the queen mother wants to see you again, see you in a few days." ”
"No, no." Concubine Zhao turned around and turned her back. When the child was finally taken away from Xiong Jing's arms, she sighed helplessly, and did not shy away from Mi Xuan being by her side, and said: "Jing'er, she is a Qin person, and Sheng'er will definitely kiss Qin in the future." ”
"The queen mother, Sheng'er's bear, is the child's sister-in-law; Xuan'er's surname is Mi, and she is of the same clan as the child...... "Xiong Sheng was crying, Xiong Jing handed him over to his wife, and waited for his wife to retreat before he began to persuade Concubine Zhao." "Queen Mother, how can Xuan'er be a Qin person, she is a Chu person."
"If she is from Chu, why did Mi Thorn send her into Chu to charm you? The people of Kanto are Qin ministers, and there are countless people. Jing'er, how can you be obsessed? Concubine Zhao didn't want to talk about state affairs anymore, but when she saw Wang Sun today, she couldn't help but speak.
The battle in the dormitory is a continuation of the struggle between the kingdoms and the Qin state, just as she married Mi Qian into the Qin State and gave birth to the eldest son Fusu, Mi Jian also sent Mi Xuan into the Chu State and gave birth to Xiong Sheng, the eldest son of the king of Chu. The stratagem is the same, and the effect is exactly the same.
"The queen mother is mistaken!" Xiong Jing also sighed. "Orange is orange born in Huainan, and orange is born in Huaibei. Even if Xuan'er is a Qin person, she will become a Chu person when she enters the Chu State. Sheng'er was born in Chu since she was a child, how could she be pro-Qin? Even if he is really pro-Qin, under the Ao system, how can he reverse the state politics of Chu and how to change the decision of the Zheng Dynasty......"
"Jing'er!" Concubine Zhao called out to her son. "No matter how strong Zhao is, it is now dead. How is the state of Chu? If the state of Chu is not victorious against Qin, where is the dynasty? ”
Xiong Jing assumed a ready-made situation, but what Concubine Zhao said was the worst outcome. She felt that Mi Xuan and Xiong Sheng were arranged by her son to return to the Chu State, but the biggest problem with this arrangement was that Mi Xuan was a Qin person, and she might not be loyal to the Chu State. Xiong Jing was shocked by Concubine Zhao's words, and people were immediately stunned, and they didn't even hear Chang Jiang come forward to tell him.
