Chapter 167: The Death of the Qin State
Xianyang City is the capital of the Qin State, located on the north bank of the Wei River, built on the Qin Xiaogong Yingqu Liang. Weishui passes through the south, Zongshan is in the north, and the mountains and rivers are yang, so it is called Xianyang. In Xianyang City, the palace annex, pavilions and pavilions, continuous repressurization of hundreds of miles, isolation of the day, between the group of halls, the road is connected. People all over the world often say that there are big beams and Luoyi; Handan in the north; There is Yingdu in the south; There is Linzi in the east; There is Xianyang in the west. Xianyang is one of the six major metropolises.
In the battle of Lantian, Qin Wangsi contracted a serious illness and couldn't afford to get sick. After the end of the Central Plains War, Qin Wangsi woke up, and at first he had to go to the court to deal with state affairs in person. With, the body is getting weaker and weaker. Qin Wangsi had no choice but to hand over the state affairs to the crown prince. The prince dang served the sick while handling state affairs on his behalf.
With the help of Ying Ji, Gan Mao and others, the crown prince soon entered the role of the monarch. King Qin saw that the crown prince had governed the Qin State very well, and he was not concerned about state affairs. Half a month later, Qin Wangsi's condition relapsed, and he couldn't afford it. Queen Qin stayed in front of the sickbed day and night, and she was helpless. Qin Wangsi's illness is getting worse day by day, and he has the heart to revitalize the national strength and be proud of the princes of the world. At this time, it is also inadequate. Qin Wangsi knew that the time left by God for him was running out. Therefore, he summoned the important ministers into the palace to discuss the future.
The officials who were under 500 stone knelt outside the main hall. Five hundred officials knelt in the outer chamber of the main hall. The favorite concubines, princes, patriarchs of the clan, and meritorious ministers of the Qin Wangsi knelt in the inner room. Seeing that except for one person who did not come, everyone who should have come came, and began to explain the aftermath in front of everyone.
Qin Wangsi raised his hand and said weakly, "Swing." ”
The prince stepped forward and said, "The son is here." ”
Qin Wangsi's eyes were blank, "You still remember what the widow said." ”
The crown prince replied, "What my father said, my son's words are engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget them." ”
Qin Wangsi sighed and said: "A widow has a lifetime, conquering the canal of righteousness and deterring Xirong." Break the Three Jin Dynasty to the east and crusade against the Qi State. Take the land of the Three Kingdoms of Tho and Shu in the south and suppress the Chu State. The princes and widows of the world have all fought each other. After the widow is gone, the princes of the world will also unite to deal with the Qin State. Listen to and ask the ministers for their opinions. Ensure that the foundation of Daqin will be passed on to future generations. ”
The prince shook and said loudly: "Oh." ”
Qin Wangsi looked behind the crown prince and shouted in a gentle tone, "Queen." ”
Queen Qin picked up her sad mood, moved forward, and knelt on the side of the sickbed.
"You're emaciated." Qin Wangsi stretched out his hand to stroke her cheek, and blamed himself: "The widow has made you worry again." ”
Queen Qin's eyes were full of tears, "I'm not bitter at all. ”
Qin Wangsi looked at the queen, and then at the crown prince Dang, "Dang'er's temperament is like a widow." After the widow is gone, I will work hard for you. ”
Queen Qin's tone was soft, "Dang'er is also my son. I'm not bitter at all. ”
"Dang'er has your restraint and control, and the widow can rest assured." Qin Wangsi's eyes looked at the sons and concubines kneeling on the ground for a while, "After the widow leaves, those who have sons will be sealed with their sons, and the sons who have not been sealed will all study in the palace, and they will be conferred after the age of fifteen, and the princes' mothers will still raise the harem." ”
Everyone saluted and said, "Wow." ”
Qin Wangsi shouted softly: "Win the disease." ”
Ying Ji replied: "The minister is here." ”
There was a slight smile in the corner of Qin Wangsi's eyes, "The widow can't work with you to revitalize the Great Qin Foundation." The widow has to go first. ”
Ying Ji asked, "What does the king have to explain to his ministers?" ”
Qin Wangsi breathed a sigh of relief, "After the widow leaves, you must be loyal to the widow like a widow, loyal to the prodigal." Assist Dang'er and conquer the princes. Complete the unfinished business of the widow. ”
Ying Ji raised his hand and said, "Huh." ”
"."
"The son is here."
"Get on your knees."
The prince didn't know what he meant, but he still acted.
"If you don't decide on internal and external affairs, ask your uncle for advice."
"Whoa."
Qin Wangsi nodded, and looked at the courtiers with outstanding merits, "After the widow goes, the crown prince will succeed to the throne." All of you are loyal to the monarch and virtuous ministers, support my son, and revitalize my Great Qin foundation. The widow handed over Dang'er and the Qin State to you. ”
Everyone bowed down and said with tears in their eyes: "The ministers will not dishonor the king's trust, help the new king, and create another great Qin foundation." ”
Qin Wangsi bowed slightly, and his expression gradually deteriorated. Suddenly, there was no sound of breathing, wheezing, all of them. The imperial physician ordered to come forward to inspect, knelt on the ground, and said sadly: "Your Majesty... The king... It's gone. ”
When Queen Qin heard this, she took a few steps back before she stabilized her figure.
Inside the main hall, there was a deathly silence.
The crown prince was the first to howl in grief: "Father. ”
The crowd also let out a cry of sorrow.
In the main hall, there are Qin Wangsi's children who have not yet grown up, although they don't know what happened. But under the backdrop of this sad atmosphere, he also cried loudly. Some of the people in the hall are because they have a deep relationship with Qin Wangsi, and they sincerely express their emotions. Some people cry because they cry with others. Others cry because they are afraid. The king of Qin is gone, and those who have children can follow their heirs to the fiefdom. If the heirs have not grown up, wait until the heirs grow up and then go to the fiefdom. However, those who have no heirs are going to stay or not, and Qin Wangsi did not explain. What will be their fate?
The prince listened to the cries of these people, full of grief and despair. He also understands that these people are not the ones who died because of love. It's because these people are deeply helpless about their upcoming fate. When I think of the fate of these beauties and ministers, I am in my own hands. For the first time, the crown prince felt the king's power.
After a long time, Ying Jian and the others knelt down and shouted, "The ministers see the king." ”
The crown prince suddenly came back to his senses, and at this moment, he had become the king of Qin. He not only controlled the fate of these people, but also the fate of the Qin State.
In 311 B.C., King Si of Qin closed his eyes and completed the last journey of his life, nicknamed 'Huiwen'.
In 337 B.C., Qin Xiaogong Yingqu Liang Yong died. His son Yingsi succeeded to the throne at the age of nineteen. Qin Gong Yingsi inherited the will of the ancestors, and first used thunderous means to kill the powerful minister Gongsun Ying to consolidate his power. Subsequently, with the Wei people's Gongsun Yan as the great Liang, he attacked Wei in the east and recovered Hexi, which imposed a hundred years of shame on the Qin State by the Wei State. In 325 B.C., he appointed Zhang Yi of Wei as the prime minister, and even broke through the vertical and horizontal, followed the example of Wei Qi, and proclaimed himself king. At this point, the Qin State followed the royal road and competed for hegemony among the princes.
King Huiwen of Qin attacked Wei to the east, collected Hexi, and defeated the Three Jins. borrowed Han Wei to crusade against the Qi State to fight for the world; swept the Yiqu to the north to deter Xirong; To the south, open up the territory and take thousands of miles of land in the three kingdoms of Tho, Shuba; Danyang, Lantian and Chu competed for power. Under his rule, the state of Qin has greatly increased its national strength, and it is no longer a small Rong in the west who is at the mercy of the princes of the Central Plains. The Qin State turned from weak to strong, and dared to compete with the princes of the Central Plains for the world. Throughout his life, he was magnificent, and he was not in vain as a hero.
Qin Huiwen passed away, and the sound of the death knell in the dormitory filled this Xianyang. The whole country of Qin was mourned, and Zhou Tianzi and the princes and countries sent envoys to mourn. When Qi, Chu, Wei and other countries saw that the king of Qin was dead, they couldn't help but be ready to move.
Waiting for the Qin State, waiting for the crown prince to swing what will be.
