Chapter 198: Qin Huihou
Gongzifu heard the conversation between his mother and uncle, walked over, and arched his hand: "Mother, uncle." I am the king of Qin, and your elder brothers and younger brothers will not obey me. We are weak, how can we compete with one of them? ”
Wei Ran asked, "Fu'er, do you want to be the King of Qin?" ”
Gongzi Fu looked at his mother, looked at the two uncles, and nodded firmly.
Mi Rong smiled: "Fu'er, you can just think about it." We'll take care of the rest. Uncle, I will fight for the throne for you. ”
Mi Bazi smiled: "Fu'er, thank you for your help." ”
Gongzi Fu bowed his hand and bowed, "Thank you, uncle." ”
Qi Rong stepped forward and patted Gongzi Fu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you." We are all the same people. ”
Mi Bazi smiled: "We are a family. ”
When Gan Mao returned to Xianyang, he felt that the sky of the Qin State would undergo earth-shaking changes. Gan Mao looked at Xianyang, this familiar palace wall, at this moment, it felt very strange and terrifying. A gust of wind blew, and Gan Mao's heart was faintly uneasy. He felt that Xianyang was surrounded by a cold murderous aura. Gan Mao said in his heart: King Qin died, and the world was in chaos.
Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose in front of them, and a large number of sergeants poured out, blocking the return of Gan Mao and the others.
Gan Mao looked carefully at the sergeant in front of him, it was the young son of Gongzi Yong and other previous kings. Gan Mao looked around and sighed in his heart: "A battle for the throne is inevitable. ”
Gongzi Yong stepped forward and asked, "Zuo Xiang, where is the king?" ”
Gan Mao looked at Wang Che, didn't answer, and said: "Son, you led troops into Xianyang, but it is a capital crime. ”
Gongzi Yong's expression was not afraid, and he defended: "I heard that the king is critically ill, so I led troops into Xianyang to stabilize the overall situation." ”
Gan Mao was shocked in his heart, the king was critically ill, who leaked the news. Gan Mao pondered carefully what Gongzi Yong said, it seemed that they had not yet learned the news of the death of King Qin. Otherwise, Xianyang is a different scene.
Gan Mao shouted: "According to the laws of Great Qin, those who leave the fiefdom without the king's edict are guilty of a felony. Are you trying to make trouble? ”
Gongzi He snorted coldly and said, "The king should also have the final say on treating me and other serious crimes." Gan Mao, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson! ”
"The Great Qin Law is used to check and balance the rebellious ministers and thieves, not to make our brothers kill each other." Gongzi Ding said coldly: "We heard that Wang Shangluoyi lifted the Ding and was hit by the Ding. The king was seriously wounded and fell into a coma. If there is an accident on the king, the Qin country will be in chaos. We brought our troops back to Xianyang in order to stabilize the situation in the Qin State and support the dynasty. Zuo Xiang used the Great Qin Law to frame us for committing rebellion, which is a big crime, and we can't afford it. Fortunately, the king is wise and martial, and he is not suspicious. treats us brothers with a heart. Our faithfulness to the king is evident from the sun and the moon. ”
Qin Wangdang's treatment of these brothers is indeed a heart. Otherwise, Qin Wangdang would not have let these people return to the fiefdom safely. However, these people took advantage of Qin Wangdang's goodwill and kept saying that they were loyal? When Gan Mao heard this, he despised this group of sanctimonious sons in his heart. They really thought about the safety of the Qin State, so they should stay in the fiefdom honestly, instead of leading troops into Xianyang. What these people were thinking in their hearts, Gan Mao couldn't guess. There is really chaos in the Qin State, and these people will not only not be able to stabilize the situation and support the dynasty, but will also aggravate the turmoil in the situation in the Qin State.
Gongzi Yong asked coldly, "I want to see the king." The left minister spoke and repeatedly blocked him. He did not hesitate to use the Great Qin Law to intimidate us and others, and imposed them on our heads on the charge of committing rebellion. Zuo Xiang, you can't do this to have some ulterior secrets! ”
Gongzi He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my brother asks to see you." ”
Several other sons also shouted: "Your Majesty, my brother asks to see you." ”
Gan Mao knew in his heart that the princes had great achievements, and they would not take him in their eyes. If they are not allowed to see the king, they will also be suspicious. If they learn of the king's death, a battle for the throne will also be staged. Gan Mao is worthy of being a person in a high hall, making a mess in his heart and thinking about countermeasures. But his face was still calm and he replied: "Princes, you can ignore Gan Mao, but how can you ignore the laws of Great Qin. The king was seriously injured and needed to return to the palace in time for medical treatment, so you blocked my way and delayed the king's diagnosis and treatment. If anything happens to the king, can you afford the consequences? ”
Gongzi He said in a tough tone: "Zuo Xiang, we have all been on the battlefield, and your words can't scare me." Please, the king. ”
Several other sons also said stiffly: "Please, the king will see you." ”
Gan Mao wondered in his heart, why did the princes lead the troops to gather in Xianyang? Why do these princes have to see the king before they stop? Who leaked the news that the king was critically ill? For a while, Gan Mao was preoccupied. With his status as the left minister, it is not enough to scare these sons.
Gongzi He suddenly stepped forward and wanted to forcibly meet Qin Wangdang.
Seeing this, Wu Shu shouted: "Bold. Who dares to disturb the king? Hugh blames me for the three-foot sword in my hand. ”
Meng Ben also said: "Whoever dares to be disrespectful to the king, kill." ”
The guards around Gongzi He saw that Wu Shu and Meng Ben were rude to their masters, and they all drew their swords out of their sheaths. Wu Yu and Meng Ben saw that the other party was strong, and they did not retreat at all, and they also pulled out their long swords. The two sides were at a stalemate and glared at each other. If you don't agree with each other, it's a bloody battle.
Gan Mao shouted: "Wu Yu and Meng Ben are rude. ”
Wu Huo and Meng Ben bowed their hands and signaled the soldiers to retreat.
Gan Mao looked at Gongzi He and said sharply: "Childe, do you really want to make a mess and splash blood on the spot?" ”
Gongzi He naturally knew the loyalty of Wu Shu and Meng Ben to the king. If he insists on stepping forward, I am afraid that these two people will not care about his identity as a prince and kill him. Gongzi He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said weakly: "Your Majesty, the younger brother does not dare." When the courtier heard that the king was critically ill, he was worried about the king's condition, so he wanted to ask to see the king. ”
"I don't care where you got the wrong information. However, you remember who you are. You are rude to the king, and don't blame me for the three-foot long sword in my hand. Gan Mao was not calm, his face showed murderousness, "Those who stand in the way, kill." ”
Wu Huo and Meng Ben said sharply: "Kill." ”
The soldiers of the three armies also said: "Kill." ”
Although the princes of Qin were arrogant, they could also ignore Gan Mao's existence. However, the tens of thousands of soldiers behind Gan Mao could not be stopped by the military strength in the hands of the princes. Especially the two fierce generals Wu Yu and Meng Ben, who have the courage of ten thousand people. It would have been easy for Wu Yu and Meng Ben to kill them. In addition, the princes left the fiefdom in front of them, and then led troops into Xianyang. If Gan Mao really killed them for the crime of rebellion, no one would help them.
Gongzi Yong said: "Zuo Xiang, don't be angry." We are only concerned about the king's condition, and we must not use swords and guns. The sword is ruthless and kills his own family. It was the Qin State that was distressed, and it was the vassal states that saw the jokes. ”
"Young Master Yong has always known the general situation. Fei Gan Mao didn't want to get along with the princes. In fact, the king was seriously ill and needed to be treated in time. If you continue to mess around like this, you will delay the king's illness. Hugh blames me for the ruthlessness of the sword in my hand. Gan Mao raised his voice and said: "Those who dare to block the road will be punished and killed." ”
Wu Yu and Meng Ben said sharply: "Huh." ”
With a wave of Gan Mao's big hand, King Qin's convoy slowly moved forward. Seeing the hesitation of the princes, Gan Mao concluded that the princes were afraid in their hearts and had no courage to forcibly stop them. As Gan Mao thought, the princes saw that Gan Mao and the others were strong, and they did not dare to compete with them, so they made a way to welcome King Qin's convoy back to the palace.
Qin Hui later learned that Qin Wangdang had withdrawn his troops and returned to China, and he was about to arrive in Xianyang in the near future. Qin Hui was overjoyed, prepared a banquet in the palace, and waited for his son's return. The ministers of the Qin State also waited for the return of the king, celebrating the king's breakthrough of Korea, pulling Yiyang, and Dingsanchuan, and passing through the Zhou room to observe the achievements of Jiuding. However, they waited happily, but they did not know that Qin Wangdang had passed away. They would not have thought that what they were waiting for was not the return of King Qin, but the bad news of King Qin's death.
Empress Qin Hui and Queen Qin were chatting in the Zhengyang Palace. Qin Huihou said softly: "You have been married to the Qin State for many years, you should give birth to a grandson for your mother." ”
Queen Qin stroked her belly and said ashamedly: "Queen Mother, it's all my fault for not being angry." ”
King Qin Hui comforted: "Dang'er succeeded to the throne, and there are endless internal and external troubles. For the past few years, I have been indulging him. When the swinger comes back this time, I will also restrain him. Having a baby is a big deal, but you can't rush it too much. You also have to help the queen mother and restrain the children. Dang'er is not only the king of Qin, but also my son, and your husband. The prostrate son is like his father's king. However, there is me, the mother, and you, the wife. We join forces, and the swinger's temperament is in the wild, and he will be subdued by us. ”
Queen Qin said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
While the two were talking happily, a waiter walked in, "Empress Hui, Queen, right to see." ”
Qin Hui picked up the water cup and put it to his lips, "Please." ”
Not long after, Ying Ji entered the palace and said anxiously: "Huihou, something is wrong." Your Majesty..."
Qin Huihou chuckled in her heart, and the water cup in her hand fell to the ground, "What's wrong with Wang'er." ”
Ying replied: "The king raised the tripod and was hit by the tripod." ”
Queen Qin asked, "How is the king's injury?" ”
Qin Huihou seemed to have guessed, and closed his eyes slightly.
Win said: "The king raised the ding, injured the muscles and veins, smashed the tibia, and bled too much. Coupled with poor healing, the king..."
Qin Huihou opened his eyes, he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, and said with a relaxed expression: "Right Minister, say it!" ”
Win Ji choked sadly: "Your Majesty, you have passed away." ”
"What, my son is gone." Although Qin Huihou had already prepared in his heart. But learning of this sudden bad news also broke her heart.
When Queen Qin heard this, her face was full of shock, and she cried out in a loud voice: "Brother Dang, how could it be... How could it be..."
"When the minister got the news, he didn't believe it." Win Ji said: "The news of Wang Shangyong's death was personally sent by Gan Mao to tell the minister. ”
Qin Huihou stabilized his mind, his eyes were sad, and asked, "Where is Wu'er?" ”
"The king, escorted by Gan Mao and others, has arrived in Xianyang."
Empress Qin Hui approached Queen Qin's side, lifted her sleeves to wipe away the tears that remained in the corners of her eyes, and said with a gentle expression: "People have good fortune and misfortune. Now is not the time to cry. ”
Queen Qin nodded.
Qin Huihou asked: "Right Prime Minister, what is the situation in the court." What should we do next. ”
"The ministers in the court have not yet received the news of Wang Shangyong's death, presumably the king asked Gan Mao before his death to keep the mourning secret. In this way, the situation between the DPRK and China will be stabilized. Yingji's face sank, "However, the princes heard the news that the king was critically ill somewhere, so they left the fiefdom without permission and led the troops into Xianyang. ”
"The princes were not called, and dared to leave the fiefdom without permission and enter Xianyang. Do they want to take advantage of the mourning? ”
"This is also a matter of concern to the minister." Ying Ji's face was worried, "Wang Shangyong died, and he had no heirs before his death. According to the Qin suzerain's legal system, the monarch died and his heirs succeeded to the throne. If there are no heirs, the wise man should be chosen as the king, and the brother should be the brother. There are not a few heirs of the first prince who can fight well, and most of them are sages. The news of Wang Shangyong's death will inevitably cause turmoil in the Qin State. ”
"Right phase. You are the minister of the first king. He is also the one on whom my son depends. Now there is chaos in the Qin State, and the situation is critical. If it is because of my son, it causes a rebellion among the princes, and the Qin state will surely decline. This is a result that neither I, nor you, nor you want to see. Right, how should we deal with it? ”
Winning the disease knows that Huihou is virtuous, but I didn't expect her to have such insight and courage, "For today's plan." We can only wait for the king's body to return to the palace and release the news of the king's death. And then, among the king's brothers, stood either by the elder or by the virtuous. Continue to accomplish the unfinished work of the king. ”
"It's up to the right to decide. Please work hard inside and outside the palace. ”
"Minister, go and arrange it immediately, so as not to have a passive situation."
After Win left, Queen Qin was confused and asked, "Queen Mother, Brother Dang is gone." What should we do. ”
Qin Huihou took a breath, "Wu'er is in a hurry. Didn't deal with his own country. The queen mother should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the country. If my son has not finished something, let the queen mother do it for him. ”
