After the Yan Dynasty dispersed, Qutai Palace was empty. Just now, Xiangbang Lü Buwei said eloquently that the words of increasing troops to attack Chu and forcing the new king to cut off the west of Rushui are still lingering; And the national lieutenant Huan Qi said that this move would inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack by the Chu people. The west of Rushui is equal to the west of Qisi, Xixian is one hundred and seventy miles east of Chengyang, and Qisi is one hundred and seventy miles east of Xixian, and Qisi is only three hundred miles to Shouying, the capital of Chu, not to mention the west of Qisi, even if Chengyang is lost, the western defense line of Chu will also completely collapse.

Xiangbang mainly attacked Chu, Guowei attacked Zhao, and Qin was separated from civil and military, and neither of the two could convince anyone. The strange thing is that the right prime minister Chang Pingjun and the imperial historian Chang Wenjun didn't say much, and the entire middle court was full of the voices of Lu Buwei and Huan Qi.

"There is a way to obey, and there is no way to rebel first, this is the words of Qi Xiangguanzhong?" When the Yan Dynasty of other countries disperses, the monarch will go to the small bed to change his deep clothes and rest temporarily, but the Qin Wangzheng is otherwise, and the Yan Dynasty is dispersed, and he is still reading the documents in the main bed. However, today he has no intention of this, one will think about the debate of the state captain, and the other will think about the words of the Chu envoy Tang Ju, especially the Chu people's temperament that Tang Ju said, which made him think about it again and again.

"Your Majesty, exactly." Qin Wangzheng reviewed the documents, and standing on one side was Zhao Gao, a knife and pen officer. Although he was born in a criminal family, he was a public family after all, and he could become an official by virtue of his knowledge and military merits. "Back then, Duke Qi Huan led the princes to attack Cai, and Cai collapsed. To Jing, the princes have a war and two said, Guan Zhong said that the nature of the Jing people, if there is a king, then the queen will be served, and if there is no king, he will rebel first, and when he is in peace, the Duke of Huan and Jing will ally in Zhaoling. ”

It has been more than 400 years since the Summoning Tomb Alliance, and the Qin State was only more than 100 years old at that time. Guan Zhong's words are about the rebellious nature of the Chu people: to rule with the royal way, they are the last to submit; They were the first to rebel without royal rule.

"As you see, should you cut down the thorns?" Retracting his distant thoughts, King Qin unexpectedly asked Zhao Gao again.

This question made Zhao Gao plop down and kneel, "The son of a minister, how dare you talk about state affairs." Please atone for your sins and atonement for your sins. ”

"Get up." Qin Wangzheng suddenly smiled, he felt that he really shouldn't ask this question.

"The minister has said a lot, the minister is guilty, the minister does not dare to rise, the minister asks the king to punish." Zhao Gao still bowed to the ground, and when the king asked just now, he answered without thinking about it. Thinking about it now, this is not in line with Qin Law, and it also violates the taboo in the palace.

It seemed to understand Zhao Gao's thoughts very well, Qin Wangzheng smiled and said: "If the widow punishes you and makes people know that you say a lot, wouldn't it be even more guilty?" After saying this, he personally stepped forward to help Zhao Gao up, and said, "Do you know why the widow wants you to be this sword and pen officer?" ”

"The minister is stupid." Zhao Gaozheng was nervous, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The king's grace, the minister will be ......."

"Get up. The widow is not finished. Qin Wangzheng feigned anger, and Zhao Gao, who was frightened, jumped up. At this time, Qin Wangzheng lost his interest in speaking, he returned to the front of the case, and smiled bitterly: "In the huge Qin Palace, there are a few people who are real Qin people." ”

*

To the beginning of Qin Xiaogong's relocation of the capital to Xianyang, the palace of Xianyang will increase day by day, at first, the palace room is mostly in the north of Weishui, there are winged palaces, Xianyang Palace, etc., later, there are many palaces in the south of Weishui, the living and court discussions of the monarch, mostly in the Zhangtai, Qutai, Xingle and other palaces in Weinan. The reason why this is so is because the king of Qin has already been called the emperor, since he is called the emperor, then the system of the Son of Heaven should be used to build the royal city, and some palaces have to be built in the south of Weishui. Connecting the north and south is a long bridge across the Weishui.

When the car crossed the Weishui Long Bridge, the imperial historian Chang Wenjun was wiping away tears: his father died, died during the Qin army's attack. The autumn wind was whining, and the leaves on both sides of the strait were falling and Xiaoxiao, he wanted to cry, but he couldn't cry, so he could only cry and choke on the chariot.

Chang Wenjun wept, but Chang Pingjun, the right prime minister before he drove the car, had a sneer on his face, and he was extremely cold. Above the Yan Dynasty, Lü Buwei persuaded the King of Qin to increase his troops because of the fall of the King of Chu, and he also wanted to think about the land to the west, haha......, this can be regarded as his final blow. hit well, hit happily, but unfortunately he will soon no longer be the prime minister of Qin, he will only be in the city, just like Shang Ying and Fan Ju.

His father is the king of Chu and his mother is the princess of Qin. Based on the calculations of the year, the hostage father was to be like the prince of Zhao Chunpinghou, so that he could not return to China to take the throne, and the real one who took the throne should be the son of Yang Wenjun. Unexpectedly, the later Chu State ordered Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie to let his father change his body and return to China, which made the two brothers and their mother leave in the Qin State and eventually become Qin people.

According to the discussion when they left the palace, one of the brothers returned to the house, and the other entered the palace. The two drove the wrong car, Chang Wenjun looked back at his brother's chariot, even if he didn't see his brother's weeping appearance in the car, he could guess that his younger brother was crying - he was only seven years old when his father left Qin, just when his father's love was deepest.

The car drove slowly into the North Palace, and before entering the Huayang Palace, Chang Wenjun met Mi Xuan. She has just passed the age of Xuan, slim and elegant, elf and intelligent, and is deeply liked by the Empress Dowager Huayang. Seeing that she was coming in a hurry, she smiled when she saluted, and then quickly restrained her smile and comforted: "The Empress Dowager Zu knows about King Jing, please don't be too sad Uncle Ji." ”

There were two ancestral empress dowagers in the Qin Palace, one was the biological mother of the father of Qin Wangzheng, the Empress Dowager Xia, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager Xia was not liked by her grandfather King Xiaowen, so that the stranger who came out of the concubine entered Zhao and was almost killed, and only until the alien ascended the throne was honored, but he died three years ago. Another ancestral empress dowager was the Empress Dowager Huayang, who was persuaded by Lü Buwei to recognize the other person as the heir, and later became the king.

Mi Xuan can speak, but Chang Pingjun doesn't have much sadness in his heart - he doesn't have time to grieve, he nodded hastily to Mi Xuan and then climbed the stairs repeatedly, and when he entered the court, he bowed from afar, "Nephew to see my aunt." ”

In the afternoon, the court was a little dim, and the Empress Dowager of Huayang, who was dressed in Chu clothes, sat there trapped, as if she didn't hear what Changping Jun said, and when he wanted to worship again, Mi Xuan stepped forward and whispered: "Grandmother Wang, Uncle Ji is here." ”

"Hey——!" With a long sigh, Mi Thorn slowly turned to his nephew and said, "The mother country is about to change a lot again." ”

"Auntie, Lü Buwei asked for more troops, and the land west of the wings is expected." Changping Jun briefly said about the court,

"Although Wan'er was not chosen at that time, he has made achievements in the past 25 years, but unfortunately your brothers can't ......" Mi Thorn is still thinking about the past more than 20 years ago. It was her intention to detain Xiong Yuan so that he could not return to China and take the throne, not that she didn't like Xiong Yuan, but that Xiong Yuan had the intention of recovering Ying. Yan Yingjiang and Han have long been owned by the Qin State, and if Xiong Yuan returns to the country and ascends the throne, there will be many incidents between Qin and Chu in the future. As a relative, the most taboo is that there is a war between the mother country and the country, helping, being blamed from top to bottom, not helping, after all, it is the mother country, and I feel uncomfortable.

"Where's Che'er?" Mi Thorn, who retracted his thoughts, only saw Chang Wenjun alone.

"My brother has returned home to report to his mother." After Chang Wenjun answered, he said, "Auntie, my nephew has heard a lot about Brother Jing recently. The crossbow he made shot 300 steps in Chengyang, 100,000 soldiers, and he was not surprised; There is also a land mirror, which can be seen for thirty miles; A few days ago, I saw the sword and armor obtained by the weak suddenly, and the Shaofu said that it could not be made by the Qin State, and the Hou said that Brother Jing was making it mass-produced......"

"Qi'er." Mi Thorn interrupted his rambling and asked, "The envoy has already left Qin, and Qi'er wants to send someone to chase him back?" ”

"Nephew didn't dare. Nephew ...... "Changpingjun wiped his sweat, his aunt has always been kind, but sometimes it is also terrible. "The nephew thinks that Brother Jing may be able to avoid his death, and the utensils he makes and the iron he refines are all things that benefit the country."

"Who is your younger brother and mother?" Mi Thorn smiled, indeed kind and kind.

"It's... It's Concubine Zhao. Changpingjun choked.

"What does this younger brother of yours want to do as a strong crossbow and refine iron?" He asked again, smiling even kinder.

"Yes, it's for the ...... of Fuying" Under his gaze, Changpingjun wiped his sweat again, but he didn't wipe it, and his sleeve rubbed against his hat. also to save Zhao. ”

"With Chu's material resources, if you fight with Qin, can you win?" Mi Thorn was very satisfied with Changping Jun's last addition to save Zhao, but she was still asking.

"I can't." This time, Changpingjun didn't pause or swallow, and he answered without thinking about it.

Today, the Qin State has half of the world's cities, with more than 3 million households, more than the sum of the six kingdoms. Although the annual income is less than the sum of the six countries, the Shaofu has 400,000 gold a year. The most important thing is that the Qin army is good at fighting, invincible, invincible, and the six countries dare not take advantage of it.

The state of Chu moved to the east, and even if it annexed the state of Lu, it would not be able to restore the national strength of the past. What about recovery? The current world is not a world where all the powers stand side by side, but a world that dominates alone. The result of Fuying must be to offend the Qin State, and then repeat the Battle of the Hanging Sands - the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei and Qi attacked Chu in a row, destroying the country and destroying the heirs.

"Auntie, if the state of Chu is no longer strong, why should there be a society?" Changping Jun is the person in history who rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu in the rear of the Qin army fourteen years later, and caused Li Xin to be defeated. "If the state of Chu dies, the nephew should die with it."

He was like this, Mi Xuan coughed and sighed again, Mi Xuan hurriedly stroked his back, and handed the medicine sent from Chu to Mi Jian's mouth and asked her to drink it.

"I once heard people say that after the Changping War, Qin can win the world in 20 years, why can't it be today?" The willow bark juice was bitter, and the old lady who drank the medicine took another sip of the syrup handed by Mi Xuan before speaking.

"This is due to the internal instability of the Qin State, and after Zheng'er ascended the throne, he was not crowned pro-government." Changping Jun Road.

"Is it possible to survive the country in the suburbs and wars, or can the country survive in the political situation under the influence of the Qin Palace?" Qi Jian asked again, and Changping Jun was speechless. "Yuan'er is falling, anyone can ascend the throne, but the son of Zhao Nu cannot. Qin Zhao is a mortal enemy, Zheng'er hates Zhao State, Zhao Nu is the queen, and Chu will save it, and Zheng'er will be angry with Chu. ”

"Just sit and watch the state of Zhao be destroyed by Qin?" Changping Jun was surprised. "Auntie, if Zhao Guo dies, the Six Kingdoms of Kanto are not far from death."

"The nations save Zhao, and the state of Chu saves Zhao; The nations did not save Zhao, and the state of Chu did not save Zhao. Set up the son of Zhao Nu as the king, and the state of Chu will save Zhao at any time, but this matter is not possible. Mi Jian seemed to be a little tired when she spoke, and she finally said: "Zheng'er died in Zhao, or Korea and Wei, and the eldest son should be on the throne." ”

"Son?!" Changping Jun, who is over thirty years old and ranks as the right prime minister, still can't fully understand his aunt's meaning, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he only read the eldest son in his heart, and then glanced at Mi Xuan.
