Chapter 3 Adults
Zhangtai Palace is the Zheng Dynasty of the Qin State, and it is also the place where Zhao Zheng looks at the court every day. Unlike yesterday, Zhao Zheng looked radiant today, although his face was trying his best to restrain himself, the corners of his mouth could not hide a smile. The ministers in the court were puzzled, King Jing took the good people away, Li Mu and Qin Jun, and the Marquis of Xianyang spies countless ......, none of them could make people happy, how could the king be so happy today?
"Last night, the national lieutenant announced: The strong man Jing Ke has infiltrated the Zhao camp for more than a year, and assassinated Li Mu the day before yesterday." The ministers were puzzled, and Zhao Zheng smiled and spoke. "His head holding Li Mu has entered the Qin realm and is rushing to Xianyang ......"
Who is Jing Ke? Some ministers know and some don't, but that doesn't affect their judgment. Xiong Qi, the right prime minister, hurriedly came out of the ranks and shouted: "A strong man descends from the sky, cut off Li Mu." Li Mu has gone, and Zhao will die. Congratulations to the King! β
Xiong Qi was the head of the ministers, and after he shouted, the courtiers of the entire court followed suit: "A strong man descends from the sky, cut off Li Mu." Li Mu has gone, and Zhao will die. Congratulations to the King! A strong man descended from the sky and cut off Li Mu. Li Mu has gone, and Zhao will die. Congratulations to the king......"
The loud cry resounded throughout the chapter, and the servants, soldiers, temple people, and palace maids inside and outside the palace were first shocked when they heard the words, and then heard that it was the ministers who were waiting for the king, and everyone was excited for a while. The cheers in the Zhangtai Palace continued for a moment before gradually subsided.
"Li Mu is dead, and Zhao will die." Zhao Zheng looked at the ministers sitting down and began to say the second thing. "Therefore, the widow will go west to Didao tomorrow to welcome the lord, and the prime minister, internal history, and national lieutenant will perform their duties to deal with the affairs of the country, the government, and the army......"
The adults of the pre-Qin period did not refer to saints, that is, to people in high positions. In order to keep it secret, Zhao Zheng did not say that Di Dao had envoys from the Great Xia Kingdom, only that Di Dao appeared as an adult, so he had to go to greet him in person. Aristotle IV was not sent by the new king Eutidemus to envoy to Chinni as an envoy of the kingdom of Bactria, but only as the most knowledgeable and wise scholar in the known world.
The most knowledgeable and wise scholar in the known world is translated as a great man or saint in the Chinese world, not a giant who is 'five feet long and six feet long' as recorded in the history books.
"Tell the king, Lord Di Dao, not my Xia people, but Yi Di Ye." Li Si came out of the ranks. "The Lord of Heaven descended from Di Dao, which is the sign of the Great Qin of the Heavenly Ring, and the king must not welcome it in person, so he should invite someone to go."
"Ahem......" Li Si's words made Zhao Zheng a little displeased, and after he finished speaking, a more heavyweight figure also stood up, this is his teacher Xun Zheng. Dare to ask the king, Zhidi Dao personally welcomes Lord Yidi, and wants to do the way of Yidi in the Qin State? β
"There is no difference between Yixia in the hearts of widows, and any plan that can strengthen Qin can be done." Xun entered Qin, worshiped as Shangqing, knowledge, fame, no one in Qin can match him, but the set he implemented cannot be quickly strong Qin, Zhao Zheng only respects him, and has no reliance.
"How can the king mess with Xia?!" Xun Jing said excitedly: "If you follow the way of Yidi, the sky will bring a great disaster to Qin Ye." β
"The widow has made up his mind." Aristotle IV was as arrogant as he had been when he arrived in Yingdu, and he demanded that the king of Qin personally welcome him into the Qin kingdom on the border, otherwise he would return to Bactria. Zhao Zheng not only wants to welcome him personally, but also listen to him with respect.
Zhao Zheng's attitude naturally disappointed Xun Zheng. The king of Zhidi personally greeted the Lord of Yidi, how could he implement his doctrine in the future? He left Chu and entered Qin, hoping that after the Qin State unified the world, he would use his own doctrine to govern the world, but he didn't expect a Yidi lord to suddenly appear.
"Retreat." After Zhao Zheng said that he had made up his mind, he announced his retreat from the dynasty and went out of the gate and entered the road. The ministers who didn't dare to speak just now whispered at this time, and Li Si walked up to Xun Jing and said, "Don't worry, teacher, Yi Di Ru Mao drinks blood, how can there be an adult?" β
"Teacher." Han Fei, who had become a Qin minister, also shook his eyes at Xun Qian, but he didn't speak.
"How do you know that barbarians drink blood? How do you know that there are no adults in the barbarians? "Although Li Si is already a court lieutenant, Xun still regards him as his student." The king welcomes Lord Yidi into Qin, and he must follow the way of Yidi. β
"Students think that even if the way of Yidi enters Qin, it may not be practiced." Han Fei persuaded. "King Jing calls himself a barbarian, but the envoys of the western country have entered the Jing country, and the Jing country has not followed the way of Yidi."
"Jing is Jing and Qin is Qin, how can they be compared?" Xun, who has lived for most of his life, sees the Chu State and the Qin State very clearly. "If the king hearkens not to me, he will suffer from it. Ahem... Ahem......"
Chu Guoxing Confucius etiquette Confucianism, Xun Guo left disappointed. Qin Guo thought that he could promote his own monarchical Confucianism, but he didn't expect that King Qin would go to greet Lord Yidi in person. Completely disappointed, Xun looked at Li Si while coughing. He looked at Li Si, and Li Si also looked at him, and Li Si said, "The teacher has not recovered from the cold and illness, and he still needs to recuperate." β
Xun Kuang's original intention of looking at Li Si was to hope that Li Si could go to bed in person and admonish again, but he didn't expect Li Si to pretend not to be aware and only care about his own cold illness. His eyes of hope finally dimmed, and it seemed that the expectations of this life were about to be completely disappointed.
Xun Jing in the ancient years has seen his own end, but Xiong Jing, who is in the age of binding his hair, is immersed in a beautiful vision.
He had never been so happy after his father's death. Since then, the crisis of the death of the country has repeatedly pressed on his immature body, making him breathless, and he always feels that today may be the last day of his life.
Now, however, the sea boat brought back sweet potatoes and potatoes, connecting India and Persia. The Chu army not only used Ju iron on a large scale, but also began to use artillery. He welcomed back his beloved woman and was taking her back to Chu safely. With a successful career and a beautiful woman on the side, what could be better in life?
"When you return to Yingdu, you will be crowned." Gently kissed Mi Xuan on the face, Xiong Jing by the campfire said.
"The king is rude." There can be no men and women during the suing of the temple, but Xiong Jing's small movements are still continuous, and Mi Xuan resisted at first, and then he got used to it. "The king is only the age of tying his hair, how can he be crowned?" Her heart was filled with sweetness.
"Why can't the age of the hair be crowned?" Xiong Jing put his hands behind his head and leaned comfortably against a leeward rock. "The Son of Heaven and the princes are twelve crowns, and fifteen can have children, why not?" After that, Xiong Jing leaned into Mi Xuan's ear again and said softly: "Now I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning. If you wait a few more years, you will suffocate to death. β
The temple is the most difficult, obviously the beauty is in front of you, but you can't touch it, so the ancestors wrote poems and said, 'Sleep and think about it, tossing and turning'. After saying this, Xiong Jing's eyes at Mi Xuan were full of desire, and he couldn't wait to hold her into Pippen right now and swallow the belt meat into his stomach......
Seeing him like this, Mi Xuan was startled at first, but while blushing, her slender hand stretched out: "If the king ......, Xuan'er can sleep today." β
"No." Xiong Jing hurriedly pushed her hand away, and sat away from her, "You are the queen, and you conceive a child without telling the temple, and the queen mother and courtiers will have objections." β
"Xuan'er doesn't care if she's the queen or not." Mi Xuan's heart is warm. "I only wish to be around the king for the rest of my life."
"I don't care!" Xiong Jing saw that she was so persistent. "If you tell the temple to conceive a child, how can the queen mother let you marry into the Chu Palace?"
Suing the temple is not only an ethical issue, but also a serious political issue. If Mi Xuan really wants to get pregnant during the sue temple, the queen mother can refuse her to marry into the Chu Palace, and then kick her back to her parents' house. No, Mi Xuan no longer has a maiden family, and the consequence of snatching her is that she has become a gift like a beauty, and there is no doubt about it.
Thinking of this, Xiong Jing couldn't help but feel that he owed something to Mi Xuan. This is not an era of elopement, much less a world of lustful indulgence in later generations. Men and women must marry in accordance with the six rites and follow the orders of their parents. The queen of Qi had an affair with King Xiang of Qi without the order of her parents, and her father, Tai Shiqi, did not recognize this daughter in his life, even if she was already the queen of Qi.
Thinking of these, the desire in Xiong Jing's heart gradually faded, and the jade hand holding Mi Xuan kept smiling at her, looking at each other without saying a word.
"Your Great Kingβ" In the distance, Xiang Chao's voice came. The courtiers knew that the king loved the princess very much, and in order not to harm the king's good deeds, they made a loud noise every time they approached, so as not to ignore their own insolence.
"Words!" Xiong Jing let go of Mi Xuan's hand, and she and the Qiang maid got up to return to the account.
"I saw that someone was selling dragon horses into Qin." It was late February, and everyone had just left Qiangdi. The sky is still cold, but the ice and snow are already thawing, and spring is coming soon.
"Selling dragon horses into Qin?" Xiong Jing was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that the Sogdians did not keep their word?
"Yes, yes." Xiang Chaodao. "The dragon and horse sellers are still two days away from the Qin realm."
"Ryoma geometry? Did the Qin people send troops to protect each other? Xiong Jing asked. His 3,000 people rested in Qiang for a winter, most of the wounded recovered, and the horses were sufficient, so they could fight a battle.
"There are several dragon horses, and the Qin people have sent troops to protect each other, and there are as many as five or six thousand people." If there was no Qin army to escort him, Xiang Chao would have led people to rush over to grab the dragon horse earlier, and he wouldn't have reported to Xiong Jing at all. He reported that because he did not send out artillery, his side had no chance of winning.
"A few dragon horses, five or six thousand Qin soldiers to protect each other?" Xiong Jing was shocked again, could it be that the Qin people wanted to go crazy with Longma? It's possible.
He thought so, but he didn't know that Aristotle IV, an old friend of the people of Chu, was on the official road less than fifteen miles away from him, and the 6,000 Qin troops who arrived first protected his safety, and the Qin envoy Ganluo was carefully waiting for him, saying Zhao Zheng's whereabouts: "The king of Qin has arrived in Didao, and he can personally welcome him into Qin the day after tomorrow." β
"That's what he's supposed to do." The long journey made Aristotle IV look a little tired, but his spirits were high. "I have brought him civilization, and he and his subjects will henceforth be freed from the customs of barbarians and live in a great civilization. I've been to Chuni, and King Chuni is not only arrogant, but also stupid, and he will regret his decision......"
