Chapter 142: Yan Guo's Proton Son
In 334 BC, Qin Gongsi (King Hui of Qin) married his eldest daughter Meng Yingyuan to the Yan Kingdom. At that time, the monarch of Yan was Yan Wengong (Yan Yi Wang), and Meng Ying became the mother of Yan Guo. The following year, Meng Ying gave birth to a son, named Zhi. In 323 B.C., Duke Wen of Yan participated in Gongsun Yan's promotion of the five kingdoms of the king, and the Yan Kingdom began to claim the king, which was for Yan to change hands. Two years later, Yan Yi Wang Yong, and his son Hao succeeded to the throne.
Ji Hao has not yet succeeded to the throne, and the promotion of Gongzi and the position of Gongzi are the greatest threat to his throne. After Ji Hao succeeded to the throne, he suppressed the promotion of the son and the position of the son. Gongzisheng was sent to the bitter cold land of northern Xinjiang to resist Donghu. In order to avoid trouble, Gongzi went to South Korea as a hostage under the mediation of Yan Yihou and others.
After the Qi State occupied the Yan State, it did not treat the people of the Yan State with royal benevolence and benevolence, and used domineering techniques to deter and control. The temple of Yan Guozong was destroyed, and the vessels of Zhenguo and the beauties of Yan were also sent back to Linzi by the Qi army. The Qi army and the Zhongshan army were the victors, and the people of the Yan Kingdom were the slaves of the dead country. The military discipline of the two countries began to deteriorate, and they wantonly plundered people's property, rape and plunder. Yan Taiping couldn't stop it. Yan Guoxiao enjoyed a short period of peace, and once again fell into the water and fire, and the people of Yan Land were miserable.
The people of Yandi thought that the Qi Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom were the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and they came to save them. Therefore, without resistance, the city gates were opened to welcome the armies of the two countries. After Qi and Zhongshan occupied the Yan Kingdom, they revealed their true colors. The people of Yandi have just woken up. Qi and Zhongshan did not come to save Yan, but to die Yan. The country of Yan perished, and they became the people of the country.
With the intensification of the contradictions between Qi, Zhongshan and Yan. People with lofty ideals in the Yan State are unwilling to die and run around. The people of Yandi gathered under the banner of Gongzisheng to resist the deprivation and oppression of the Qi people and the Zhongshan Kingdom. Kuang Zhang and Sima Chou, in the name of Prince Ping, suppressed the rebellion. Gongzi was promoted to a small number of generals, and was soon defeated by Qi and Zhongshan. Although Gongzi was defeated, it inspired the fighting spirit of the people of Yandi to expel foreign enemies.
Qi Wangtian saw the rebellion of the people of Yandi, and was furious.
Da Sima Tianhe said: "Your Majesty, the people of Yan Land miss the Ji family, we might as well return the Yan Kingdom to them." ”
"What did you say?" King Qi said unhappily: "The widow has finally conquered the Yan Kingdom, how can he give it up." ”
"We are not welcome in the people of Yandi. If we take the swallow, the people of the swallow land will rebel. ”
"The rabble, the few are not afraid. The widow should teach those who are stupid a long lesson. Tian Pijiang said coldly: "Only the lesson of blood can make those people keep to themselves." Sent an order to Kuang Zhang, the rebel in Yandi, and kill him. ”
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guo intends to meddle in the affairs of Yan Kingdom." Tian Ying said: "Zhao Guo sent Le Chi to South Korea to welcome Yan Guo's return from his position as a proton son. ”
"What did you say?" Tian Pijiang looked at him and asked, "Zhao Jun interfered in the affairs of Yan Kingdom, and also escorted Yan Guo's proton back to China. ”
"Exactly."
"What kind of person is the son."
"Gongzi is the son of King Yan Yi, and his mother is Queen Yan Yi. After Yan Yi, there is another identity. She is the eldest daughter of Qin Wangsi. ”
"Empress Yan Yi is the eldest daughter of Qin Wangsi." Tian Bijiang sneered: "Interesting, interesting." ”
"Your Majesty, the situation in the Yan Kingdom is even more complicated than we imagined." Tian He saw that Wang Shang didn't realize the harm, so he arched his hand and said: "Yan Yihou is the eldest daughter of Qin Wangsi, and Gongzi is the grandson of Qin Wangsi. When Gongzi returns to Yan Kingdom, he will not only be wholeheartedly supported by the people of Yan Land. The three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Han will also support Gongzi's return to China. If we take the swallow, we will be jointly attacked by the princes. ”
"The son-in-law is alone, and it has affected the four countries of Han, Zhao, Qin, and Yan." When Tian Pijiang heard the news, his whole person was full of fighting spirit, "Han, Zhao, Wei, Chuyan, and the five kingdoms attacked Qin, and the Qin State was not afraid. Our country's strength is above the Qin State, how can we be afraid of the four countries of Han, Zhao, Qin, and Yan. The four countries dared to come, and the few raised troops to destroy them. ”
Tian He was terrified in his heart, the king was planning to start a war with the four kingdoms, and he hurriedly said: "Your majesty, the power of the four kingdoms should not be underestimated. Especially the state of Qin. Break the three Jin Dynasty in the east, sweep the Yiqu in the north, deter the enemy in the west, and take the land of Tho, Shu and Ba in the south. In the court, there are people who can fight well, such as Win Disease, Shu Changcao, Sima Cuo, Gan Mao, Wei Zhang, etc., as well as Zhang Yi's generation. Please be careful, Your Majesty. ”
Tian Pijiang sneered: "The Qin State is a defeated subordinate of our country, and there is nothing to be afraid of. It is inevitable that the widow will take the swallow, and the vassal states dare to come to be the enemy of the Qi country. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the princehood is the key to the four kingdoms." Tian Ying saw Tian Pijiang's ambition, no matter how much he would be hindered by taking Yan, he would rather give in, "Without the position of son, the four countries will not come together." ”
"Qi Xiang, send someone to South Korea to negotiate." Tian Bijiang raised his voice and said: "If South Korea dares to send the prince back to Yan State, it is an enemy of Qi State. ”
"No"
"Stand down!"
Tian Ying, Tian He bowed and retired.
Out of the Qi Palace, Tian He stopped and asked, "Qi Xiang, taking Yan will bring disaster to our country." The king is so nonsense, why don't you persuade the king? Instead, the king was encouraged to compete with the princes. ”
"Da Sima, haven't you understood the king's thoughts?" Tian Ying's eyes were fixed on the sky, "Taking swallows is the work of eternity." It is also a time to expand the territory and achieve prestige. Yandi is a thing in the bag of Qi at your fingertips, and if you give it up easily, not only the king is unwilling, but the whole country of Qi will also be unwilling. ”
"The Yan people rebelled, and the princes conspired to save Yan." Tian He sighed: "The situation is not in our favor. ”
"How can you not understand the king's temperament?" Tian Ying said leisurely: "The current situation is not good for us. But if the swallow proton can't return to China. There is no owner in the swallow land, and the dragons in the swallow land have no leader, so there is no need to be afraid. With Yan Proton gone, how could the four countries of Han, Zhao, Qin, and Yan reach a consensus and crusade against our country. ”
Tian He pondered: "Qi Xiang, you mean that you want to use Yan Proton to provoke the relationship between the four kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Qin, and Yan. ”
"Not bad." Tian Ying smiled at the corner of his lips, "Da Sima, Yan Proton died in Zhao State, how about Han Qin Yan and Zhao Si Guo." ”
"Shikoku will be mired in infighting." Tian He savored this sentence seriously and said with a smile: "Zhao Guo supports the Gongzi position and links the four kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin. Qi Xiang will plan and divide the relationship between Han, Zhao, Yan and Qin with the position of son. That's a lot of money! ”
The proton of Yan in Han learned that Qi broke Yan, Prince Yan was killed in battle, and King Yan was buried in the fire. Gongzi cried bitterly, "Yan Guo is dead." ”
The heavens seemed to sense the sadness in Gongzizhi's heart, and a gust of wind blew, and the sky that was as bright as the ground was covered with black clouds. A flash of lightning slid across the sky, followed by a thunderous roar that resounded across the land, and a torrent of rain fell.
"Oh God! You feel my grief too. Gongzi was in the rain, raised his head and asked, "What is Yan Guo's crime?" How can you punish Yan Guo like this. ”
One person shouted: "Young boy, it's raining, come in and take shelter from the rain." ”
Gongzi couldn't stop crying, and cried: "Yan Guo is dead... Dead. ”
When the man saw the young man so sad, he was also very sad. The country of Yan died, they became people without a country, and they also became people who lost a country. How can the family be ruined and people die, how can it not be painful.
Han Wangkang pointed to the national letter on the desk and asked, "This is the national letter sent by the four kingdoms of Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Qin." Zhao Guo came to China with the orchestra pit as an envoy to welcome his son's return to China. The meaning of Qin State is also the same as that of Zhao State. However, the State of Qi and the Kingdom of Yan want us to send protons to Linzi of the State of Qi. Should the widow send the proton back to the Yan country, or send it to the Qi country. ”
"The State of Qi has broken through the State of Yan. The state affairs of the Yan State were controlled by the Qi State. If we send Yan Proton back to Yan Kingdom, we will offend Qi State and Yan Kingdom. Han Xiang was in a hurry, "If we send Yan Proton to Linzi in Qi State, we will offend Zhao State and Qin State." Your Majesty, wherever we send the Yan Proton, we will offend the princes. ”
"What Han Xiang said is exactly a headache for widows." Han Wangkang felt helpless and said: "No matter what the widow does, he will always offend the princes. ”
Han Peng said: "South Korea has always been forgotten and despised by the princes. Today, the eyes of Zhao Qiyan and Qin are paying attention to our country at the same time. South Korea is a little flattered! ”
"The widow felt the fright."
Han Xiang asked, "Your Majesty, where are you going to send Yan Proton?" ”
Han Wangkang didn't answer and asked, "Where should the widow send the proton?" ”
"The Yan State is an ally that our country uses to contain the Zhao State and the Qi State. Today, the State of Qi has broken the State of Yan. Prince Yan is calm to the Qi country. The alliance between our country and the Yan State also collapsed. Han Peng said: "Your Majesty, Yan Proton is of no use in our hands. If Qi Guo wants it, we will give it away. ”
"Definitely." Han retorted: "Today's Qi has broken the Yan Kingdom. The great increase in the strength of the Qi country will also threaten our country. If we send Yan Proton back to China, we will compete for the throne with Prince Yan. If the swallow proton wins, he will thank our country for its kindness. The alliance between the two countries can also be renewed. Swallow proton is vital to me in Korea. It's up to us how we use it. If we use this chess piece well, South Korea will be able to survive in the cracks of great powers. Taking a step back, Han Proton failed, and we didn't suffer much damage. ”
"Yan Proton returned to China and failed to compete for the throne." Han Peng sarcastically said: "The Qi State and the Yan Kingdom have become our enemies. Han Xiang, it is not a wise move to be the enemy of the Qi State! ”
"Swallow Proton failed. But we didn't lose either. Han Xiang said: "The alliance between Zhao and China is still there. ”
"Life is a big gamble, it depends on whether we have the courage to gamble." Han Wangkang said: "The Qin State attacked our country, and Wei Zhao sent troops to save me. If it weren't for the fact that the State of Qi took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Three Jin Dynasty and launched a sneak attack. In the first battle of repairing fishery, we lost 82,000 men in Sanjin. The grievances between Qi and Sanjin have not yet been settled. Today, Tian Bijiang gave the widow two choices, the first choice was to ask the widow to send the swallow proton to Linzi, or kill him. The second option is to be the enemy of the Qi State. ”
Han Peng scolded: "What is Tian Bijiang?" An dare to point fingers at our country. ”
"King Qi has a personality, and a widow also has a temperament. Where the swallow proton goes, it should be up to the widow to decide. ”
Han Xiang said: "The king's intention is to send Yan Proton back to Yan Kingdom. ”
"If the widow sends Yan Proton back to Yan Kingdom, Tian Biqi will not be happy in his heart." Han Wangkang said: "Isn't the Qi State a threat to the widow? The widow has nothing to fear. The State of Qi sent troops to attack us, and although South Korea was weak, it would also pour its troops to meet the battle. ”
Han Peng snorted heavily and said, "Tian Bijiang Xiao'er dares to be so presumptuous. We don't take our country into account at all. The king, the ministers supported the return of Yan Proton to Yan Kingdom. Yan Proton returned to China, and Tian Bijiang was going to be anxious. ”
"Not bad. The widow just wants that kid to be anxious. Han Wangkang asked, "Where is Yan Proton?" ”
"It's in the official post."
"Call him into the palace."
Not long after, Yan Proton's son-in-law came to the Han Palace and arched his hand: "Yan Proton greets King Han." ”
Han Wangkang was shocked when he saw that the person who came exuded the aura of a king, and he was actually a dragon among people. Intentionally asked tentatively: "King Qi asked the widow to send you to Linzi, or kill him." Proton, how a widow should behave, please teach me. ”
"The country of Qi broke the Yan, and the power increased greatly. If the king does not send me to the kingdom of Qi, I am afraid that it will bring disaster. I am a man who has lost my country, so please send me to the kingdom of Qi. Gongzizhi's face was full of sadness, his eyes were full of tears, and he replied: "Yan Guo is dead." What is the point of my life. ”
Han Wangkang paid attention to him and saw that he spoke from the bottom of his heart, "The widow sent you to the Qi country, and you will be jealous of the widow." ”
"I am a man without a country or a home. How can you be jealous of the king? As a person who has lost his country, he can do something for the king, although he has no regrets when he dies. ”
Han Wang Kang saw that his son was nineteen years old, and he was also a proud person. Although Yan Guo died, he couldn't break his backbone. Gongzi knew that going to Qi Country would be more auspicious, so he resolutely chose to move forward bravely. If ordinary people learn that the country is dead, their first reaction is to cry bitterly and win the sympathy of the princes. In exchange for the interests of the country, let the princes come to their aid. However, the prince did not do this.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground, Han Kang raised his hand and said, "Get up!" The widow will not send you to the country of Qi. ”
"The king offended the Qi country for the sake of a man who lost the country." Gongzi asked, "Is it worth it for the king to do this?" ”
"The widow doesn't know if it's worth it." Han Wangkang replied seriously: "The widow is not used to looking down on the Qi country, and even more so on the field of opening up the territory. The widow asked you to return to the country just to prevent the Qi country from being happy. ”
Gongzi wept and said: "The king's kindness, job, will never be forgotten." ”
"Proton, don't cry. Yan can also restore the country. Han Wangkang said: "After the proton is restored, please don't forget South Korea." ”
Gongzi bowed three more times and thanked: "If the Yan Kingdom can be restored, it will be the king's grace." If I am fortunate enough to become the king of Yan, the two countries of Yan and South Korea will be forever united. ”
"Okay." Han Wangkang advised: "The road to recovery is a difficult road to take. Wang's proton remembered the virtue of his ancestors, and devoted himself to reviving the Yan Kingdom. If there is a day of revival in the country of Yan, the widow will be happy for you. The widow also hopes that the proton will be able to beat all the people hard. ”
"Job, when I return to China, I will definitely take the revival of Yan as my own responsibility." Gongzi said: "I will avenge the death of the Qi country." ”
"Proton has such ambitions, and the widow is very pleased." Han Wangkang beckoned, pointed to a general and said, "This is General Lechi." ”
Gongzi saluted and said, "Job, I've seen the general." ”
Le Chi replied: "The last general is here on the order of Zhao Jun to escort the proton back to China." If there is any disrespect along the way, please forgive me. ”
"The general is serious. The office is the one who has lost the country. I was fortunate to be able to get the support of King Han and Zhao Jun and return to Yan Kingdom. job, grateful. Gongzi bowed and said, "Along the way, General Le is hard." ”
Han Wangkang asked, "General Le, I handed over the proton to you." When does the general intend to escort the proton home. ”
"The last general intends to leave immediately."
"Okay." Han Wangkang said: "The road is difficult and dangerous, so take care of the two of you." ”
