Qin State, Xianyang.

When Shang Ying was building Xianyang, he especially built the Qin Palace's tall and solemn, perhaps he thought that only this solemnity could be worthy of the grandeur of a big country. This style is not only different from the luxury of the six eastern countries, but also better reflects the stability of the Qin people. And now, when this solemn and steady wrap is wrapped in white silk in the sky, its solemn feeling is even more prominent.

The palace door of the Qin Palace's palace gradually opened, the heavy wooden door creaked, flashing a gap, two simple carriages slowly walked through the tall palace wall, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground echoed in the empty and quiet space. On either side of the carriage, a general with more than two dozen guards, apparently accompanied the two carriages.

The carriage behind opened a corner curtain, but he didn't expect the sun to shine, the man covered the sun, raised his head, and looked at the stone-paved city wall, the road, and the soldiers of the Qin State on both sides of the road, as well as their black costumes. These will become his indelible memories, but I don't know when I will be able to see these palaces and palaces again, these soldiers of the Qin State, and I don't know if when I see these again, I will still be young and elegant, or my temples will be white. Simply, I won't look at it. He lowered the curtain as if he had been burned by the sun, leaning against the creaking carriage, tears streaming down his face.

In the first car, a middle-aged woman is sitting with her eyes closed, and you can only detect the waves in her heart from the small movements of her lips. Just in terms of this calmness, you would never have imagined that she was the mother of the son behind her.

The convoy stopped at the city gates, and although there was a large flow of people, few people paid attention to them. The woman got out of the car, and the young man behind him walked out with his head drooping, he glanced back at the majestic and tall Xianyang City, but he was reluctant to look back for a long time.

"Ji'er." The woman walked next to the young man, probably the last time she dusted off the dust for him, so she was extra careful, "When you arrive in Zhao Kingdom, you have to take good care of yourself." ”

"Ji'er knows." The young man was obviously absent-minded, "Ji'er is not around, and Ah Yu also has to take good care of herself." ”

The woman tried her best to make herself smile, but how could outsiders understand the pain in her heart?

After two major battles between Qin and Chu, Danyang and Lantian were greatly damaged. In addition to the retreat of the Chu State from Wuguan, it was also occupied by Han Wei Some cities, although the main force of the 200,000 Chu army was preserved, it was difficult to start a major war for a while.

The state of Qin was no better. In exchange for Han Wei's troops, some of the land previously occupied by Qin was returned, and the land north of Puyang of Wei was all captured by Zhao. In the land east of the river, only one Anyi is left in the hands of the Qin State.

The Qin State was naturally angry at Zhao Guo's actions of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but after the war, if he wanted to go to war with Zhao again, he was obviously powerless. In the end, relying on Zhang Yi's three-inch tongue, Zhao and Qin made an alliance, and Zhao returned Fenyin, but the land north of Puyang still belonged to Zhao. At the same time, the state of Qin had to send a prince to live in Handan as a hostage. And this responsibility was handed over to Gongziji.

"Although Zhao is a country in the Central Plains, but human nature is bold and chivalrous, Ji'er must be cautious when interacting with them." The woman, that is, Yingji's mother, Mi Bazi, said step by step: "Now among the Seven Kingdoms, Zhao is strong, if you can make more friends with Zhao ministers, it may not be impossible, not to mention, it is really not good, you still have a relative to rely on." ”

"Relatives?" Yingji looked at Mi Bazi suspiciously, "What did Ah Ji say?" ”

"Of course, it's the princess of Chu who married far away to Handan, speaking of which, you have to shout Sister. Although she and we are relatively strangers, it is still feasible to take care of each other in a foreign country, right. Mi Bazi said, asked the maid to return to the car, took off a bag of things, and handed it over to Yingji.

"What is this?"

"Here are some belongings, in addition to the part used by Ji'er, and some of them, to befriend this sister, when it is critical, there is always some use. There was also a handwritten letter in it, and I gave it to her. ”

"Yes."

Wei Ran, who was next to him, saw that the mother and son were parting with each other, and there was no sign of separation. In fact, he also has a lot of reluctance in his heart, Yingji can be said to have grown up with his own eyes, how can he be willing to leave at this moment? During the Qin and Chu wars, he was stationed at the pass for three days and three nights before evacuating safely, which made Qin Wangsi and a cadre of ministers attach great importance to his talent. Now that the new king has ascended the throne, he has also been reused. Now it can be regarded as having some military power in hand.

He glanced at the sun and couldn't help but whisper in the ears of the two: "It's not too early, let's let Childe hurry early." ”

Mi Bazi nodded, put away his reluctance, looked at Yingji who was crying, and forced a smile: "Ji'er hurry up early, don't miss the hour." ”

"Yes." Yingji bowed deeply to the eight sons, and reluctantly boarded the carriage. Mi Bazi had a solemn face, and there was no sadness just now. Watching the carriage disappear little by little, there were only tears in the eyes that swirled in circles, but there was no sad face. I just thought to myself: Ji'er, you must be safe.

A strong person does not necessarily have the right to be weak, and a weak person does not necessarily fail to become strong. This sentence is given to Mi Bazi, as well as Yingji.

"Bazi, we should go back too, it's too late, I'm afraid it's not good. Now that the new king is about to ascend the throne, and you and Queen Wei are not on good terms, I'm afraid—" The maid whispered.

"yes." Mi Bazi smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at himself, "The son of the family is about to ascend the throne and become the new king, but my son is going to go away, wander in a foreign land, and live under the knife of the enemy." Hehe, this person's situation is definitely not biased towards you because you are a woman, you still need to rely on yourself for all this. It's just that I don't know, the new king relies on my son to be a hostage to others in exchange for some peace, will he feel guilty in his heart? ”

The maid did not dare to answer these words.

In the harem of the Qin State, everyone knows that Mi Bazi, a woman of the Chu State, is a capable person by nature, if she is not born as a daughter, I am afraid that she can also enter the phase like an ordinary man, and even the King of Qin dares to confront her face. Although Yingji has no chance to inherit the throne even in the Qin State, watching Yingji go to the Zhao State, she still has some complaints about Queen Wei and Yingdang in her heart. In the entire Qin State, I'm afraid that only this Bazi dares to say it.

No matter how tired he is, he can't change the fact that the Qin State is about to usher in a new king. In the eleventh year of King Shenliang of Zhou, in the fourteenth year of King Qin's reign, King Qin passed away and was called King Huiwen. The crown prince Yingdang ascended the throne and became the new king of Qin.

When the ministers of the Qin State stood in the palace and saluted the King of Qin, he sat awkwardly on the throne. Of course, this is not because of his dislike for the throne, but because of his character, which is still much worse than his father, who is very deep in the city, and he prefers to develop something new. What he likes is not in the court, but outside the court, or farther away.

Sure enough, Qin Wangdang just succeeded to the throne, he created a new history, he set up a new official position: Prime Minister, naturally, he definitely did not think that this position would be passed on to future generations and influenced for thousands of years, he just felt that other princes had Xiangbang, if Qin was still called Xiangbang, there would be no novelty, so he set up the post of Prime Minister. And it is divided into two prime ministers, the left prime minister and general is Gan Mao, and the right prime minister is Zhu Liji.

When this appointment came out, many people were puzzled, because everyone knew that the people of Qin were still left, and they respected the left. Whether it is defeating the Six Kingdoms of Kanto many times, or serving King Huiwen, Zhu Lijian is an indispensable person, and it can be said that he is one of the decision-makers of the national policy of Qin. And Gan Mao, although he also has some ability, but no matter his military exploits or status, it is impossible to compare with Zhu Liji, why did Gan Mao become the left prime minister, and Zhu Liji, can only deign to the right prime minister?

Some people don't understand, but some people know it, especially when he is not comfortable in the Qin State, the desire to survive will make him more aware of the trend of the court. The fall from grace of the disease is by no means a coincidence, but an intentional act by the current King of Qin. This person is none other than Zhang Yi.

The night was lonely and the wind was very cold. Zhang Yi's mansion is also like entering the season of Xiao Killing, and it is very deserted.

In the study, a person sat opposite Zhang Yi, slowly poured the wine into Zhang Yi's cup, and respectfully served it.

"Why is Wei Zi so polite? Although Zhang Yi is now in the name of Xiangbang, it is just that the king has not remembered me, if he comes back to his senses, this Xiangbang will disappear. After all, there are already two prime ministers in the Qin State, so what's the use of having a prime minister? ”

"Xiangbang's words are wrong." Wei Zhang said respectfully, "Xiangbang sent an envoy to the Chu State to not die in a catastrophe, and also lobbied the six eastern countries to make the Qin State temporarily peaceful. How could the king forget such great achievements? ”

"Didn't you?" Zhang Yi said lonely, "If not, why has a certain person already arrived at the gate of the city, but he has never seen the welcoming team?" Have you not seen the king? Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for those people who knew that the king was disdainful of a certain person now, why didn't he come to greet him?" And if the king really has no suspicion of someone, why won't he send someone to welcome him? As he spoke, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said with emotion: "I'm afraid it's you Wei Zhang alone, and you're still obsessed." ”

"When I first came to Qin, I received the favor of Xiangbang, and then I was captured, and I was fortunate to be supported by Xiangbang, so I came to the later war exploits, and these alone are enough to be grateful. How could such a villain act be committed? ”

"yes, yes. Over time, I have seen people's hearts, and this is even reasonable. Zhang Yi sighed, "Thinking that Zhaoyang was humiliated to a certain person at the beginning, and a certain only let the Chu State fall into such a situation with a three-inch incorruptible tongue, think about it, this life is enough." It's time to wander the mountains and forests and retreat to the countryside. ”

Wei Zhang heard that Zhang Yi had the intention of retreating, his heart jumped, and he said in a slightly deep voice: "It's just that today's Qin State is probably not a place to retire. ”

"Oh? Don't know where to be a retirement home? Zhang Yi asked a little jokingly.

"This... Naturally, the gentleman has already made up his mind. ”

Zhang Yi smiled without saying a word, took out a silk book from his arms, and handed it to Wei Zhang, Wei Zhang was very strange, and he didn't know what Zhang Yi meant. He slowly opened it, read through it, and then looked at the end, and it was signed by Gongsun Yan!

"Now that the new king has succeeded to the throne, it should be an opportunity for a good man to make contributions." Zhang Yi continued, "It's just that our king is very different from the previous king. The first king is the first to be able to do so, regardless of intimacy, and the king's preference, talent is certainly one of them, whether it can match his mind is also the most important point. Otherwise, even if you are talented, if you disagree with him, you will not be entrusted with important tasks. Zhang Yi said, pausing, "For example, it is like a disease." ”

"Ill?"

"yes. In your opinion, why was Gan Mao able to overwhelm the Li Ji and become the left prime minister and general, and the limelight can be said to be unparalleled for a while, but the famous Zhu Li Ji can only condescend to the right prime minister? ”

"This... Forgiveness is incompetent and cannot understand what it is. ”

Zhang Yi smiled, "Speaking of which, this matter may have started because of a certain matter, but it may not have been done because of a certain one." ”

Wei Zhang looked at Zhang Yi blankly, not knowing what this witty fox was selling.

First, Yingji should have been a hostage in Yan State, as for how to get to Zhao State, I found a lot of information, except for some wild history, I really didn't find the reason, here because of historical changes, Zhao State and Qin State took the lead in breaking out conflict, so he went to Zhao State to adventure; Second, I think that even if he is a hostage, he may only go to Yingji alone, and it is impossible to take Mi Bazi with him, personal opinion.
