Chapter 59: Why 2
The bubbling water floats with some light fat flowing to the outside of the palace, the green shade and pepper wall, the green red mat, the bed is wide open, and the beads are slightly warm. This is the early morning of Xianyang, the dexterous cardamom palace maid is helping the master to wash his hair, there is no chemical era, can only be rice juice to wash hair, millet juice bathing, sorghum juice to wash the face. After washing your hair, carefully apply oil to your hair.
It's a pity that no matter how black the silk hair is, it will eventually turn white, and what is reflected in the incomparably bright Lu Li mirror is just an old woman with white hair, which is the Empress Dowager Huayang. Most of her illness was cured before she returned, and her blood expanded in the middle of summer, and she not only did not look sick at this time, but felt healthier than before her illness.
The pre-Qin hair ornaments are all valued by the tall ones for beauty. As the overlord of the world, the Qin State, as the most noble ancestor of the Qin State, the thorns are combed with nine fairy buns. The mustache is a circular bun, and the nine mustache is to comb the hair into nine hair rings, each ring is supported by gold and silver wires, and finally some pearls and jewels are inserted. Mi Thorn is already old, even if she is not old, she does not have so much hair combed into nine hairs, and the palace maid can only weave the wig into it, so that she can make nine fairy hair.
"Empress Dowager, the princess of Mi Xuan asks to see me." Before the nine thorns were finished, the old temple man Shang Wu walked in gently.
Mi Xuan, who watched Mi Xuan grow up, naturally knew what she was doing, and she said without thinking about it: "No." ”
"Empress Dowager Zu, son-in-law, she ......" Empress Dowager Zu has always loved Mi Xuan the most, Shang Wu couldn't help but laugh with her, hoping that Mi Jian would summon her in.
"But crying?" Thorn turned his head sideways to look at his bun in the mirror, and asked unconcernedly.
"Yes, yes." Shang Wu nodded, and said with a smile: "Empress Dowager Zu, the son-in-law is crying sadly." ”
"What about crying sadly?" Mi Thorn didn't care, Qin Palace was never a place where compassion was overflowing, even if it was his favorite niece. "Tell her, just say that the old woman hasn't gotten up yet, and coax her back."
"Yui." Shang Wu really didn't want to see the thorn when he saw it, so he had to go out. Outside the Ming Hall of Huayang Palace, Mi Xuan, who was crying into tears, looked into the Ming Hall while wiping her tears, and waited for Shang Wu to say that the Empress Dowager Zu had not gotten up yet, knowing that the Empress Dowager Zu did not want to see herself, and squatted on the ground and cried.
"Son-in-law, please get up." Shang Wu had to help Mi Xuan up. "The Empress Dowager Zu has made up her mind, but if you ......" he couldn't figure out what was going on, but seeing that Mi Xuan was crying so sadly, he had to coax: "Why don't you go to Changping Jun's mansion and beg Changping Jun, Empress Dowager Zu listens to Changping Jun's ...... the most"
The three words of Changping Jun gave Mi Xuan some hope, she got up to wipe her tears, timidly went down the stairs, got in the car and went to Changping Jun's mansion. Mi Xuan has lost weight since she came back, and from a distance, it seems that a gust of wind can sweep her away, Shang Wu watched her get into the car, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Uncle Ji... Woo woo...... "Changping Junfu, as soon as Mi Xuan saw Xiong Qi, he threw himself into his arms and cried, Xiong Qi suddenly felt at a loss. The subordinates next to him also stepped back in interest, leaving room for them to talk.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Xiong Qi was originally Mi Xuan's cousin, but the age difference was too big, when he was a child, he lied to Mi Xuan to call Uncle Ji, and when he grew up, he couldn't change his mouth for a while, so he called it so. Xiong Qi really treats Mi Xuan as a little niece, treating her better than his own daughter, and when he saw her coming, he cried loudly, and couldn't help patting her softly to comfort.
"Uncle Ji......, why did the Empress Dowager Zu ...... Why do you want the king to fight Chu? Mi Xuan sobbed, and her words were intermittent. But as soon as her question came out, Xiong Qi was stunned.
Why did the king attack Chu again? Although Xiong Qi is idle at home, he knows about it. But if you know it, you know, and a little girl like Mi Xuan can't tell this kind of military affairs, if you really want to tell the truth, the little girl may go to Qutai Palace to plead with the king.
He could only lie to her and said: "The king of Chu was not instigated by the Empress Dowager Zu, yes, it was Wei Xiangzi Ji, and he asked the king to cut Chu." This person was put in prison by the king of Wei last time he failed to attack Chu, and he kept begging people to tell the king and lobbying the king to attack Chu. Later, the king was moved by him for some reason, and he also killed Chu. ”
"Sub-season?" Mi Xuan, whose eyes were already swollen from crying, nodded, she was still crying, and looked at Xiong Qi: "Why is he so bad?" ”
"In the kingdom of the heavens, the Wei people are the worst. This Wei State is the worst in the Xiang State of Wei. Xiong Qi continued to make up nonsense, "In order to survive, King Wei can only let Xiangbang do bad things, and once it is wrong, he can only push it on Xiangbang's head." ”
"Uncle Ji, Qin Guo...... Can the Qin State not cut down Chu? Mi Xuan stopped crying, she was just sobbing constantly, she had seen Ziji, although Ziji was very polite to her at that time, but that person really didn't look like a decent gentleman.
"Since the king has fulfilled the promise of the Wei people, how can he go back on his word? Even if the king wants to withdraw his troops, the Wei people will not retreat. Xiong Qi said, his wife had heard the news, and he hurriedly said: "Madam, Madam......
Only women can comfort women, and after Xiong Qi threw this hot potato to his wife, he also came to Huayang Palace. At this time, the nine-bearded fairy bun of the thorns had been coiled, and there seemed to be a tall treasure mountain on her head, and she sat on the mat with breakfast, and when the breakfast was finished, she asked Shang Wu to invite him in.
"The girl went to you?" Mi Thorn drank the tea sent by the mother country and asked softly.
"Yes, yes." Xiong Qi nodded and said, "I coaxed her to say that it was the idea of the Wei State Xiangbang to cut down Chu. Hey......"
Xiong Qi glanced at the thorns, and he didn't dare to say some words clearly, so he could only knock on the side. She said another thing, "Na Cai, Wen Ming, Naji, Na Zheng, and the ...... of the invitation, the king of the previous month had sent someone to recruit the expedition, and the last month asked for the date, and the wedding date was set for October." October is the first year of the Great Qin, and this is the best period. However, the person who will welcome him in Chu has not yet been decided, and the old woman thinks that it is most appropriate to leave this matter to Qi'er. ”
"Aunt......, the Qin State is the overlord of the world," Xiong Qi smiled wryly, "How can we, how can we attack its country while marrying the princess of its country?" ”
"Why, you don't want to?" Mi Jian looked at Xiong Qi, the person who had been in the top position for a long time was not angry and arrogant, and Xiong Qi hurriedly bowed his head.
"Auntie. The mother country was already weak after the Great War last year, and now it is being cut again," with a thorny-like gaze, Xiong Qi finally said bluntly. "Now it is cut down again, Ding Nan is fighting, I am afraid that I will not be able to harvest millet and rice this year, and there will be famine in the coming day."
"What about famine?" Mi Thorn sneered, "Famine is also better than destroying the ancestral society and restoring the country." ”
"Auntie!" Xiong Qi hurriedly stopped, "Brother Jing allowed the countries to return to the country just to save the community, not to destroy the community!" ”
"After Yan Ying, the mother country moved eastward, and the land was small. For the land of Huaishang, how much effort did the ancestor expend, and how many generals were killed in the mother country, he was good and allowed the countries to restore the country. This is not the destruction of the community, how can it be called the destruction of the society? "The more she talked, the more angry she became, seeing that Xiong Qi was not arguing, and if she didn't refute, she was afraid that her old illness would recur." Not only did he destroy the society, but he also opened up the people of the country and the foreign dynasty, but this is to ask everyone to come to the mother country for a piece of land? ”
"Aunt ......" Chu implemented a new policy and restarted the foreign dynasty that was often opened in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the world praised it. But the princes and Qing clans of Chu State did not think they were happy, but worried. If you can't pay less courtesy to the common people, how can the lowly common people be qualified to stand in the court and discuss national affairs? And then there is the honor, if the common people dare to fight bravely, they can be crowned nobles, then what is the princely family?
"Aunt, what Brother Jing did was all for the sake of strengthening the country, if the king destroys the Zhao country, he will swallow Han and drive Wei to attack the mother country." Xiong Qi said bitterly, he never thought that Empress Dowager Zu's misunderstanding of Brother Jing was so deep.
"I know that after the king destroys Zhao, he will swallow Han and drive Wei to attack the mother country, so why don't you marry the princess and enter Qin as the queen of Qin?" Mi Thorn asked rhetorically: "In the barren eastern land, there are only 300,000 soldiers, no matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than Zhao State?" ”
"Hey!" Xiong Qi was speechless, he was speechless not only to his aunt, but also to the world's major events. Today's Qin State, unless the six countries work together, there is no possibility of its own existence. Twenty years, twenty years at most, the world will be unified. "Please aunt let the king withdraw from the army, Qi'er should go to the mother country again, and he will explain everything to Brother Jing......"
"No need, the old woman and the king both think that it would be better to change someone to be the king of Chu." The thorn was no longer angry, and his words were very light and light, and he didn't care about it, as if the accessories on his head were going to be changed today. "You don't have to go to your home country to greet you, just rest in the house."
Xiong Qi was stunned when he heard this, and he shouted, "Aunt! Aunt can't be like this, Brother Jing is the king of the mother country, and he has won the hearts of the people, over time, he will be able to make a big change in the mother country, how can he be easily removed?! No, auntie. ”
"If the mother country wants to survive, it must be replaced by a king." She also said some things that shouldn't be said. "Do you think that if I let the king not destroy the mother country, the king will not destroy the mother country? Do you think that the king does not know, and that in time the mother country will be able to change greatly? Do you think everyone in the world is stupid, and only I am smart?
You have also been with the Great Dynasty for more than ten years, and you have been a prime minister, don't you know the art of iron, the art of warboats, the weapon of breaking the city, the marriage alliance with Qi, the politics of foreign dynasties, and the ......system of honorable scholars, any of which will make the king vigilant? Any one of them will let the king attack Chu first and then Zhao? Don't you really know?! ”
"I ......" cares about chaos. With a heartfelt reminder, Xiong Qi instantly understood.
If the politics of foreign dynasties and the system of honorable scholars are still internal affairs, then the alliance with Qi is diplomacy. A hundred years ago, the Qin State would not allow Chu Qi to form an alliance, let alone today? Not to mention the art of huge iron, the big wing warship of Chu State annihilated the Qin State Boat Division in Daliang, and the trebuchet that broke the city broke Jucheng in one day and broke the Muling Pass in two days, these two things, especially the trebuchet, were definitely what the Qin army wanted the most. For the king who has ambitions for a day, it is really better to destroy the Chu State first, and then the Zhao State.
"Since you were born with the surname Mi, you have to die for your mother country." The thorn finally said. "Change one person to be the king, and then make peace with Qin Yan. Yin makes its politics and its art immortal, and over time, the mother country may really be able to change greatly. ”
