Chapter 13 Fixed
Screening whether the golden crown dedicated to the king was made of pure gold, such a strange question made the ministers of the Zheng Dynasty surprised and whispered. Xun Guo strode out of the ranks and reprimanded: "This strange skill is obscene, and it is also a thing that pleases women." β
"So you don't care that His Majesty the King wears a fake crown?" Aristotle IV laughed. The ministers wanted to echo Xun's situation, but when they saw Lord Yidi carrying out the king, the feet that were about to go out of the queue retracted.
"I have a crown, a crown, a leather crown, a crown and a crown in China, but no gold crown." Xun continued to refute. "Please King Mingjian, the person of Yidi, the nature of the jackal, sacrifice the crown to the king, and want to change the summer. And I am thousands of miles away from Daqin, with 1.5 million beryllium-holders, 10,000 cars, and tens of thousands of rides, the world's hegemon. The ministers of the imperial court are in charge of national affairs and govern the head of Guizhou, why do they need to know the truth of this crown? β
"What if few people want to know?" Before Li Si, Fu Qiubo, Zhang Cang and others stepped forward, Zhao Zheng opened his mouth. "Since Mr. Yidi said, why can't I solve Yidi's question in China? Such a few people also know that Yi Di is Yi Di, and China is China. If I don't know how to distinguish it and Yi Di knows it, this is not as good as Yi Di in China? Since my China is not as good as Yidi, the widow will help Lord Su Bai Yidi as the Taifu to know the way of Yidi. β
"The king is not allowed, and it is a subplot to argue whether the crown is true or false. The subplot can't govern the country, why is it too much? Li Si said urgently.
"Subtotal?!" There is still some face for Xun Guo and Zhao Zheng, but there is no need for Li Si to save face. "When King Jing made a crossbow and a carriage, he was also called a sub-plan, but King Jing was a waterwheel, a sub-plan? King Jing smelts huge iron, what is the subterfuge? King Jing built a war boat and a sea boat, what is the plan? In the three-year war, the Qin army was defeated several times, and more than 200,000 people died.
The truth and falsehood of the golden crown are small, and the subteriometers contained are very large. But whoever can argue the authenticity of the golden crown without damaging it will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed 10,000 households......"
Zhao Zheng personally came out to support Lord Yidi, and even rewarded 10,000 gold and sealed 10,000 households, and the ministers were stunned for a while, this is already the level of the feudal marquis. As everyone knows, Zhao Zheng remembered that Lu Buwei's "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn" changed the word "Reward a thousand gold" and felt angry in his heart, since Lord Yidi said that no one would answer this question, then simply reward 10,000 gold and seal 10,000 households.
"The king has an order, but whoever can argue the authenticity of the golden crown without damaging it will be rewarded with 10,000 gold and sealed 10,000 households......" Zhao Zheng's royal order came out of the main hall of the Zhengchao Dynasty and reached the ears of Jing Ke outside the Gaomen, and the doctor Meng Jia explained to him: "Anyone who can serve my Great Qin can be crowned a marquis." After he said that, he looked at Jing Ke again, "The strong man assassinated Li Mu, and the Zhao people were defeated, and this great achievement will be crowned marquis." β
"If you can be a marquis, you should repay yourself." Jing Ke was dressed in black, and his hair was tied with a red scarf, which was extremely conspicuous. The servant beside him was also dressed in black and red, holding a wooden letter in his hand, which contained Li Mu's head.
"If the king says that he will be a marquis, he will be a marquis." Jing Ke arrived in Xianyang more than a month ago, and waited until Zhao Zheng returned to the palace yesterday to see the court, during which Meng Jia got a lot of money from him. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the court attendant shouting, "Summonββ! The strong man Jing Ke went to the palace. β
"Summonsββ! The strong man Jing Ke went to the palace. "The Qin Palace is majestic, and the voice is passed down from one palace gate to another. Summoning Jing Ke to the temple was originally the first major event, but because of Lord Yidi, it has been delayed until now.
After lurking in Zhao for more than a year, he finally assassinated Li Mu at a critical moment, which directly contributed to the defeat of the Zhao army and even the destruction of the Zhao State. Such a great achievement cannot be overstated. As soon as Zhao Zheng returned to China, he sent people to the post house to inquire, and today he summoned Jing Ke to the palace to show his importance to Jing Ke.
The voice of the servant reached the Gaomen, and several confessors were busy leading the way in front, but when they walked to the bottom of the main hall and were about to climb the steps, a lieutenant general Jing Ke and the two stopped them and said, "Please untie the sword." β
"My sword never leaves my body, and my body never leaves my sword." The five-foot-long sword was hanging on Jing Ke's waist, which was very eye-catching. "And we are using this sword to cut off Li Mu's head, if the king asks, just take a look."
If it was someone else, Lang Zhong would definitely snatch the sword, but Jing Ke was the Great Qin hero who assassinated Li Mu and was about to be made a marquis, so he couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't let go, nor did he pick up the sword, but stepped up the steps to the court and said: "Tell the king, Jing Keyan will not leave the sword, the body will not leave the sword, and he does not want to untie the sword." He also said that he used this sword to cut off Li Mu's head, and if the king asked, he just had a look. β
The Qin State forbade courtiers to wear swords to the palace for a long time, but the Kwantung countries have always retained the tradition of the Spring and Autumn Period, allowing courtiers and envoys to wear swords to the palace, and it was only more than 20 years ago that Mao Sui pressed the sword to go to the palace.
Lang Zhong came in a hurry, saying that Zhao Zheng only blamed him for being troublesome, and when he was about to allow Jing Ke to bring a sword to the palace, Zhao Gao on the side said lightly: "King, this assassin is also." β
The word assassin made Zhao Zheng stunned, and when he was hesitating whether to let Jing Ke's sword go to the palace, Zhao Gao said again: "The king can make Lang Zhong untie his sword and present it to the king, and return it after seeing it." β
"Yes." Jing Ke is a hero, not letting his sword go to the palace will damage the heart of the hero, and he also seems to be cowardly, Zhao Gao's method can just avoid such embarrassment, Zhao Zheng naturally said yes.
Lang Zhong, who had to be ordered by the king, hurriedly went down to the palace, and said after going down the steps: "The king wants to see the sword of the strong man, please ask the strong man to untie the sword and be presented by the minister." β
"Why do you have to be like this...... Jing Ke glanced at his servant and said with a sudden smile: "Why not. Then he unsheathed his sword and handed it to Lang Zhong, and then strode up the stairs under the leadership of the confessor. At this time, the ministers in the court couldn't wait, and they were eager to see what kind of style the assassin who lurked in Zhao Ying and assassinated Li Mu was.
*
In the few days when Zhao Zheng returned to Xianyang from Meixian, Xiong Jing happened to board a ship from Jieshi Port and enter Chu from Huaishui. I walked at sea for five days, and after landing on the shore, I walked west against the Huaishui for two days, and returned to Yingdu in seven days. At this time, there were still four days before the dawn of April, and eight days before the Chu army launched the Battle of Jiuying.
Out of the plug and into the plug, the situation in the world changed greatly in a few months: Zhao Liang died of illness, Li Mu was stabbed to death, and Zhao Jun Fanwu was defeated. He couldn't figure out how these things happened, and Jing Ke, how did Jing Ke assassinate Li Mu? He was supposed to assassinate King Qin!
'The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone! Xiong Jing, who was in the palace of Yingdu, couldn't help but recite this song when he thought of Jing Ke. This is the song of the Yan people, heroic, tragic, can instantly make people on the bank of the Yishui River blown by the north wind. However, the people who once sang this song in another time and space are now kneeling to the tyrannical Qin in order to be crowned a marquis.
Things are people, but it can't help but make Xiong Jing a little disheartened, the mandate of heaven has its own fixed number, history has a unique rhythm, and it is impossible for him to let them be transferred by his own will.
"It is inappropriate for the minister to think that the king is crowned now." Early in the morning, the courtiers of the court did not know that the king on the throne was in a trance, and they were discussing the crowning of the king. "This move is not in accordance with the law of etiquette, and the war is imminent, so it must be crowned, and it should be after the war."
"Yes, yes." The state of Chu began to divide civil and military affairs again, and those who came out were generals and those who entered, so there were not many ministers in the court today, and most of them left Ying's mobilization county guards and private soldiers. Xiong Jing asked for an early crown under such circumstances, which is really inappropriate.
"Okay." There were very few courtiers in the court, and Xiong Jing had to agree to Zhao Xiao's request, "This matter will be discussed after the war." β
"The king is wise." Zhao Huang snickered as he looked down. Of course, the king was crowned for marriage, and he wanted to marry Mi Xuan as the queen, which the courtiers knew well. It's just a matter of marrying Mi Xuan as the queen, what should I do if I marry Mi Xuan's Qi girl? Then it will be another diplomatic dispute. The State of Zhao is dying, the State of Wei is weak, and the importance of the State of Qi is becoming more and more prominent, how can you annoy the Qi people at this time?
"Zhao Guoruo?" Xiong Jing, who had only returned to Yingdu last night, didn't know what the courtiers were thinking, so he asked about Zhao Guo. Since Zhao Guo is not saved, then he must deal with the aftermath.
"The minister thought that an envoy should be sent to Zhao in a few days, and it was clear that the Chu army would attack Qin instead of saving Zhao." Nao said slyly. "In this way, the Zhao people can also operate the land of Dai and Yan, and continue to sacrifice."
"No." Zi Mo said: "If the Zhao people know that I don't save them, they will descend to the Qin people." It surrendered to the Qin people, and millions of Qin troops returned to Nanjun and Xianyang, which was not good for me. When the Zhao people knew, our army pulled out the old Ying and sent troops to rescue Zhao. β
"Who believes?!" Xiang Yan reprimanded. What he feared most happened anyway: the state of Chu sacrificed the state of Zhao in exchange for the old Ying.
"The Qin army has besieged Handan, and the Zhao people are panicking, but there is a glimmer of opportunity, and they must firmly believe it." Zi Mo argued. "If our army invades Xianyang, the Zhao people will be saved."
"This villain's work!" Xiang Yan reprimanded again, "To save or not to save, you should make it clear." Otherwise, he will complain in the future. β
"I, Chu State, have saved Zhao several times, why don't you save Zhao Guoqi and blame me?" Zi Mo retorted. "The Qin people killed Li Mu, the Zhao army was defeated, the Qin people besieged Handan, and the Zhao State was about to die, what does this have to do with my Chu people? The king, the minister thought that this matter could not be said clearly, and in plain terms, the Zhao people saw that the rescue could not come, and they would surrender to the Qin people. If the Zhao people descend, it will be unfavorable to me. β
"What about the broken city?" Xiong declined to comment on the argument between Zimo and Xiang Yan. "No, the princess, his wife and concubine are still in Handan, if he is captured by the Qin people, is it not that he wants to enter Qin and welcome him back?"
Xiong Jing is talking about the Taifu and his wife and concubine, but it is actually for Concubine Zhao. If Chu Guo didn't save Zhao and cheated Zhao Guo, the queen mother would definitely be sad. Picking up some of the Zhao clan's clan before the city broke may make the queen mother less sad; If Zhao Wangqian had not been captured by the Qin army, there would naturally be hope in the hearts of the Zhao people, and if they landed in Zhao by sea in the future, the rule of the Qin State would collapse in an instant.
The minister thought that ...... "Nao speaks slyly, don't talk to me." There are many marquis in Handan, if Handan will be broken, you can inform the beam of the pigeon news, and the timely war boat can welcome the king of Zhao, Taifu, and Princess Yingnan out of the city. β
"The girder is hundreds of miles away from Handan, how to welcome them out of the city?" Xiong Jing shook his head. The water passes through Handan and passes through Zhangshui, which is the only channel between Handan and the outside world. It's just that in winter, Chu Jun can't save it if he wants to.
"In September, our army has attacked Xianyang, if the Zhao people can hold until September and the city is not broken, it may be possible to wait for next year." Higashino Gu reassured.
