Chapter 162: Han Cang succeeded to the throne, the godson of King Qin

Han Cang left the Qin State and arrived at the Han Territory, standing on his own land with his feet in tears. Han Cang, holding a slope of soil in both hands, breathed heavily, "South Korea, I'm back." ”

Han Cang didn't have time to remember the past, and suddenly saw that the dust in South Korea was flying. When the dust cleared, the Korean soldiers arrived in armor. The general headed by the chief is none other than the Great Sima Han Peng.

Han Peng stepped forward and arched his hand: "See the prince." ”

Han Cang pointed to the soldiers behind him and asked, "Why did Da Sima bring so many soldiers?" ”

"If the Qin State does not let the crown prince return to the country, Korea will go to war against the Qin State."

"Today's Qin is not the Qin of the past." Han Cang calmly replied, "South Korea is not the opponent of Qin. ”

"Prince, how can you grow the ambition of others and extinguish the prestige of Korean men."

"It's not me who killed the ambition of Korean boys. In fact, there is too much difference in the national strength between South Korea and Qin. ”

Han Peng hesitated for a moment, and also felt that what the prince said was true. Today's Qin State is no longer the western Xiaorong despised by the princes of the Central Plains. Today's Qin, sweeping the righteous canal in the north and deterring Xirong; To the east, repeatedly defeated three Jin; Seize thousands of miles of land in Bashu Tho to the south. The battle of Danyang killed 80,000 Chu troops. South Korea's strength is not comparable to that of Qin.

Han Cang realized that South Korea's strength was not as good as Qin's, but he was also unwilling to fall into the ambition of his husband, "Although South Korea is weak, it will not be slaughtered by Qin." Korea wants to be strong and restore the great cause of its ancestors. I need the Great Sima to help me, and I need all the soldiers to help me. ”

Han Peng said loudly: "Minister, swear allegiance to the prince." ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison, "We are willing to follow the prince." ”

Han Cang pulled out his long sword and shouted: "The rivers and mountains of South Korea are guarded by us, long live Korea." ”

"Long live Korea." The officers and men of the three South Korean armies shouted in unison, and the sound echoed between the valleys and could not be dissipated for a long time.

Han Cang returned the long sword to the scabbard and asked, "Da Sima, how is my father now?" ”

"The king learned of the defeat of the shore gate and fell seriously ill. If it weren't for the king's heart for South Korea, he would miss His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his heart. The king has long been unable to survive the Great War in the Central Plains. We broke through the Chu army of Nanyang, and defeated the Qi state on the edge of Pushui. In the face of such a big victory, South Korea was boiling. The king fell down suddenly, and he fell ill. If the prince doesn't come back, I'm afraid he won't be able to see the king for the last time. ”

Han Cang exclaimed: "My father is terminally ill, and I don't know any news in the Qin Kingdom. ”

"The king deliberately concealed his illness." Han Peng said: "Your Majesty, you have been waiting for the prince to return. ”

Han Cang suddenly understood. Why did my father send several waves of envoys to the Qin State within a month? The envoys of Wei and Zhao also appeared in Xianyang. This time, the state of Qin refused to let him return to China. The army led by Han Peng would go to war with the Qin state. Han Wangkang was desperate because he knew that his health would not get better, so he hoped that Han Cang, who was hostage in the Qin State, would return to China as soon as possible. Han Cang thought of this, and faintly felt bad, "Who else knows the news that my father is critically ill." ”

Han Peng replied: "There are only the queen, Han Xiang and me in the country. ”

When Han Cang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The news that Han Wang is critically ill has not yet spread in China. South Korea's government is under control. Seeing that Han Cang was silent, Han Peng said in a low voice: "Prince, the king can't survive for a few days." Please the prince, return to the palace as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation. ”

Han Cang nodded and said, "Okay." I'll go back to the palace. ”

Han Cang learned that his father was seriously ill, so he traveled day and night, and it took five days to arrive in Xinzheng, the capital of Han. Han Cang saw that there was peace in Xinzheng City, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their hearts were a little peaceful. Han Xiang saw Han Cang coming back outside the palace and cried: "Prince, you are finally back." ”

"How's my father?"

"The king still has a trace of breath, just to see you."

Han Xiang and Han Cang entered the inner sanctum.

Queen Han saw Han Cang and said softly, "Husband, Cang'er is back." ”

Han Wangkang opened his eyes and looked into the crowd.

Han Cang said: "Father, the child is back." ”

"Cang'er... Come closer... Let my father see you..."

Han Cang moved and walked forward.

"Cang'er... You... Come back... I... You can rest assured. Han Wangkang glanced at the important ministers who knelt in the hall, and said with difficulty: "After the death of the widow, the crown prince will succeed to the throne." The widow has entrusted the crown prince and Korea to you. ”

"Whoa."

"Cang'er... Conduct national politics... Zhen Guowei..."Han Wangkang's expression gradually deteriorated, and his breath became weaker and weaker. Suddenly, there was no sound of talking, no wheezing, and all sounds stopped. Han Wangkang finally closed his eyes and walked the last part of his life. Seeing this, the imperial physician on the side stepped forward to probe Han Wangkang's hand, and suddenly his face changed greatly, "Your Majesty... It's gone. ”

Han Cang shouted, "Father." ”

In 332 BC, Han Zhao Hou Yong was succeeded by Han Kang and became the seventh monarch of Korea. In 325 BC, the state of Qin was proclaimed king. Wei and Han met in Wusha and were called kings. In 323 BC, Han Kang joined Han Zhao, Wei Yan, and the Five Kingdoms of Zhongshan, and officially became king. Han Kang is also the first king of South Korea. Throughout his life, Han Wangkang advocated cooperation in the first half of his life to deal with Wei Qin. In the second half of his life, he advocated Lian Heng and dealt with Qi Chu. In this era of strife and turmoil, it is not easy for Han Wangkang to make South Korea stand tall. In 312 BC, Han Wangkang finally completed a long and arduous life. After the death of Han Wang Kang, he was nicknamed 'Xuanhui', and was known as King Han Xuanhui in history.

Han Xuanhui Wang Yong died, and Prince Cang succeeded to the throne.

It is said that in the battle of Lantian, Qin Wangsi was seriously ill and did not wake up. Before Qin Wangsi fell seriously ill, he asked the crown prince to supervise the country and deal with state affairs. The eldest concubine was in charge of the military and assisted the prince in handling state affairs. Qin Xiang Zhang Yi was in charge of handling diplomacy. Under the concerted efforts of everyone, the Qin State quickly came out of the shadow of the Great War in the Central Plains. When Qin Wangsi woke up and saw the queen by his side, he asked weakly, "Has Qin won?" ”

Queen Qin cried: "Your Majesty, we have won, we have won. ”

When Qin Wangsi heard this, he left two lines of tears.

Queen Qin picked up Juanxiu, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes for him, and asked, "We won, why are you not happy, but cry." ”

Qin Wangsi let out a heavy breath, "The widow is crying with joy. God bless the Qin country, God bless the Qin country. ”

Queen Qin said, "I'm so happy that you're awake." ”

King Qin looked at Queen Qin affectionately, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"You can wake up, I'm not bitter at all."

King Qin stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of Queen Qin's eyes, "The widow didn't know what merits he cultivated in his previous life before he could marry you." Widows love to look at your smiling face. ”

Queen Qin showed a charming smile and said, "Am I good-looking?" ”

"Good looking. You're so good-looking. Qin Wangsi softened his tone, "The widow looked at your smile, as if he had returned to the day when we first met. You have married a widow, have you ever regretted it? ”

Queen Qin shook her head, "I have no regrets. ”

"The widow marries you, and he has no regrets at all. Thank you, Queen. ”

"You make me a happy woman, make me a mother. I should thank you. ”

Qin Wangsi asked, "Dang'er, where is it?" ”

"I've sent someone to summon him."

"Queen."

"Your Majesty, there is something you want me to do."

"Summon, win the disease, Zhang Yi, Wei Zhang, Gan Mao, Sima Cuo and other important ministers into the palace."

"The king has just woken up, and his body is weak. Tomorrow, it's not too late to say goodbye to the minister. ”

"The days of widowhood are numbered." Qin Wangsi coughed heavily, "Before the widow leaves, there are still many things to do. The queen should not worry about the widow's body, for the widow has his own measure. ”

Qin Wangsi waved her hand lightly and motioned for her to step back. Close your eyes and go back to sleep.

After a while, the prince came to the harem and saluted: "Son, please see your father." ”

Qin Wangsi opened his eyes, and his voice floated over: "Dang'er, go forward." The widow wants to take a good look at you. ”

Although the prince didn't understand his father's deep meaning, he still walked a few steps and came to the bed. Qin Wangsi asked, "The Korean prince is in the Qin Kingdom, what are you going to do?" ”

The crown prince hesitated and said, "Father, the child has already let Prince Han return to the country. ”

"Why did you send him home?"

"The child thinks that to fight for the world, it should rely on strength. The seizure of the prince of another country is not the work of the eldest husband. ”

"You mean that my father is not a husband."

The prince found that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Father, the child didn't mean that. ”

Qin Wangsi was not angry either, and asked, "Wei and Zhao have united to put pressure on the Qin State!" ”

"Yes." The prince said again: "The child is not afraid of Wei and Zhao, so he sent Prince Han back to China." ”

"Go on."

"King Han is critically ill, and the situation in South Korea is turbulent. The child didn't send Prince Han back. South Korea will also appoint someone else as its king. Not only is it useless for Prince Han to stay in the Qin State, but we will also offend the Three Jins. If the Qin State wants to fight for the world, it is inseparable from the Three Jins. The three Jin help Qin, but Qi Chu is weak. ”

"Prince Han is anti-Qin. If he returns, Korea will be hostile to Qin. And what about you. ”

"South Korea is not convinced, and the child leads the troops to convince it."

"Great powers compete with each other and cannot be won by force. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. Don't you understand this truth? ”

"The child supported Prince Han because he knew the Qin State. We know him too. King Han is critically ill, and there will be a king. The child thinks that the new king of Korea must know the Qin State, and the Qin State also understands him. ”

"Not bad." Qin Wangsi nodded and said, "Prince Han understands the Qin State and will not choose a stupid way to take the initiative to attack our country. We can use Prince Han to contain Qi Chu. ”

"That's what it means, son."

"Let a person who understands the Qin State, and the Qin State understands him, be the King of Han. It is more important than a person who does not understand the Qin State as the king of Han. Qin Wangsi showed a pleased look, "Dang'er, you have grown a lot." The Qin State is handed over to you, and the widow is relieved. ”

The crown prince couldn't guess his father's intentions, so he knelt on the ground in fright, "Father, how can you say these words when you are in the prime of your youth." ”

"Get up." King Qin said: "There are only you and me in the palace." Next, if the widow wants to ask, you can answer it well. Whatever the widow says, you must take to heart. ”

"Wow" The prince stood up tremblingly, not daring to look at his father's majestic eyes.

"Swinger, what do you think of the eldest lady's victory?"

"The eldest is loyal, patriotic, strategic, and a man worthy of trust and trust."

"The widow left him to you. When you succeed to the throne, treat him well and use him really. If you can't decide on internal and external affairs, ask him for advice. ”

"Whoa."

"How is Zhang Yi?"

"The child doesn't like him."

"The widow doesn't like him." Qin Wangsi took a breath and said, "It's one thing to like it. Whether to use it or not is another matter. The widow has used Zhang Yi for so long, and he can't guess his thoughts. Swinger, except for the widow, who can't control Zhang Yi, including you. ”

"Please teach me, father."

"You treat me as an ordinary person, and I repay you as an ordinary person; The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him as a countryman. Qin Wangsi looked at the eyes of the prince, "The widow treats Zhang Yi as a national soldier, and Zhang Yi repays the widow with a national soldier." , can you treat him as a national soldier? ”

The prince was silent.

Qin Wangsi said again: "The widow still can't control Zhang Yi, how can you control him." The widow used Zhang Yi to let him display his talents. Zhang Yi left the widow and left the Qin State. Zhang Yi had to be loyal to the widow and to the Qin state. Zhang Yi has made a lot of contributions to the Qin State. , you don't need him, and you can't kill him. ”

"Whoa."

"There is a wise man who prophesied that after the death of the widow, the Chu people will disrupt our government and slaughter the widow's heirs and the descendants of the surname Win." King Qin said: "After the death of the widow, if he has an heir, follow the heir to the fief. and he who had no heirs was released from the palace. ”

"Whoa." The prince asked: "The Chu people will mess with my government, and the eighth son is a Chu person..."

"The world of the Qin State is decided by the descendants of the surname Win." Qin Wangsi knew what his son wanted to express, "Mi Bazi is a Chu person, and he also gave birth to three sons for the widow. The eldest son is a few years younger than you. In the name of the alliance, you sent Ji'er to Yan Country as a hostage. Thou hast given the land of Tho to her two sons. You have to remember that Mi Bazi is a woman with ambition and desire. Once, she is not good for the Qin State, and she can be killed. Messing up my government and slaughtering widowed heirs and descendants of the winning surname may be her. ”

"Son, remember the words of your father."

"Swinger, the widow left you more than 20 brothers. After you succeed to the throne, you can use a few is a few. Qin Wangsi's eyes showed murderous aura, "No, you can't kill it." If you slaughter your brothers, you will kill each other. The widow will not let you go. ”

The prince raised his hand and swore, "The child swears." In this life, there will never be fratricide. If you break your oath, God will punish you. ”

"Okay." Qin Wangsi nodded, "This is the son of the widow." ”
