"What can a mere Yanming knife mean?"

In the brightly lit palace of King Qi, Anping Juntian Dan, who was hurriedly summoned to the palace, stood in front of King Qi and Queen Jun, holding in his hand the knife coin presented by Hou Sheng as the "evidence" of tonight's assassination......

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yan State has been deeply influenced by the culture of the Qi State, and the economy is also highly exchanged, so even the currency has followed the Qi State, with sword coins as the mainstay. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info said that it is a knife coin, but because it is minted by Yan Guo itself, it also has some characteristics, such as the texture is worse than the Qi knife coin, and the shape is narrower, because the knife coin is often engraved with a "Ming" word, so it is commonly known as Yan Ming knife.

Tian Dan deserved to be a wise general, he did not panic because his daughter was implicated in this matter, but checked the evidence very calmly, looked at the blood stains on it dried up and turned purple, and showed a smile, as if he was disapproving.

When the king of Qi asked him why he was laughing, Tian Dan replied: "The king, the minister has been a market official before, and he also knows some things about the importance of the goods, this Yan Ming knife is not only circulated in Yan State, but also can be used in Zhao State, Qi State and other countries, and it is very common in the Linzi market." Later, because the Qi country was occupied by the Yan people for several years, the Yan Ming knife was passed through all the capitals, although the king had strictly ordered the weight of the nine provinces to prohibit it, but in the countryside and wild markets, there are still a lot of Yan Ming knives left in the people, and it is not difficult to get some......"

Therefore, Tian Dan felt that just by searching for the Yan Ming knife from the assassin, he could not be sure that the assassin was from the Yan Kingdom.

The King of Qi hesitated and said, "But Chang'anjun said that he interrogated the assassins, and before he died, he admitted that he was instructed by the Yan Kingdom. ”

Doctor Diao Bo said coldly: "King, this incident happened to happen on the eve of Chang'anjun's return, and it was too much of a coincidence, could it be that Chang'anjun himself planned it in order to destroy the alliance of Qi and Qin?" ”

Because he had fought directly, he was deeply impressed by his intelligence and eloquence, so Diao Bo was very protective of Chang'anjun and did not hesitate to look at it with the greatest malice.

These words made King Qi and Tian Dan fall into deep thought, but at this time, a voice sounded in the hall: "Doctor, don't speculate!" ”

Mother's thoughts are the same, the queen has always regarded Chang'anjun as a nephew, thinking that if her son is injured, she will also be heartbroken, comparing her heart to her heart, and she is very sympathetic to Empress Dowager Zhao and Mingyue, listening to Mink Bo's secret guess, she is a little uneasy:

"Chang'anjun was injured, and he was personally inspected by the confessor, who would be ruthless enough to stab himself in the shoulder? Not to mention that Zhao Kuo, the son of Ma Fujun, was also seriously injured and unconscious, and the doctor said after diagnosis and treatment, the arrow was only a few inches away from the heart, if it deviated a little, then Zhao Kuo was already alive. How could there be such a dangerous self-stabbing? What's more, An Pingjun's daughter witnessed the whole ......"

Tian Dan hurriedly lowered his head and explained that his daughter just happened to meet Chang'anjun when she was visiting the club......

"By chance?" It's okay not to say this, King Qi smiled meaningfully: "How did the widow hear that the monarch often meets with Chang'an Jun and goes in and out of Jixia?" An Pingjun has to get a son of Zhao Guo as a good son-in-law? ”

Although Tian Dan did not clearly support Chang'anjun's statement, the king of Qi already suspected that it was a big taboo for his courtiers to make friends with foreign magnates, and Tian Dan himself had a very close personal relationship with Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State. King Qi arranged for Chang'an Jun to live next door to Anping Jun's mansion, just to test Tian Dan, and now the two little children have come out like this, who knows that there is no Tian Dan to help the trouble, and he really tried it out?

"King!" Tian Dan bowed his head and said with sincere fear: "The minister is dedicated to the country, and has no selfish thoughts, and the minister must strictly discipline the little girl after he returns!" ”

"Why should Anping Jun be like this, the widow is just joking, in fact, the gentleman and the king of Chang'an are also a perfect match...... "Having said that, what King Qi thought in his heart was that no matter what, he couldn't let Tian Dan marry Zhao Guo, otherwise after he died, who knows if this person will be able to communicate with foreign countries!

Seeing that the narrow-minded King Qi had suspicions about Tian Dan again, Diao Bo secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "King, instead of speculating here, why don't we let Chang'an Jun enter the palace tomorrow morning and ask for clarification?" “

"Good."

King Qi thought that this afternoon's banquet was the last time he saw Chang Anjun, but he couldn't stop it, he was a little tired and compared: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow morning, the situation is urgent, the widow will not sleep tonight, let Chang Anjun meet you overnight!" ”

……

Walking into the palace hall and looking at the faces of everyone present, Mingyue understood that tonight it was the king of Qi and the queen who sang red faces, and Mink Bo was responsible for singing white faces......

King Qi and Queen Jun looked like an uncle and aunt, and greeted Mingyue with warmth and cared about his injuries.

And Mink Bo kept questioning on the side, asking all kinds of tricky questions, but after all, it was a real assassination, and he couldn't ask any doubts.

As for Anping Jun Tiandan, he stared at Mingyue without saying a word, wondering if he was wondering how this son hooked up with his baby daughter.

After the temptation was over, Mingyue went straight to the point, and began to explain to everyone what happened to her tonight......

"The kid still thought he would die, if it weren't for An Pingjun's daughter passing by to help, if it weren't for the guards who arrived in time to stop the assassin, if it weren't for Ma Fuzi blocking a sword for me at a critical moment, I am afraid that at this moment, I am already a lonely ghost in Huangquan, dying in a foreign land, I can't return to the ancestral tomb of Zhao Guo, and I can't see the last side of the queen mother......"

Speaking of the depths of love, he actually sobbed, the sixteen-year-old boy experienced life and death, frightened and frightened, and his appearance was pitiful, and the queen's heart was touched, and a few tears were shed, and I don't know whether it was false or true. Seeing this, King Qi had no doubt about Chang'anjun's self-directed and self-acting.

Then, Mingyue gritted her teeth again, and said firstly: "This matter must be the mastermind of the Yan Kingdom, openly assassinating the proton of the Zhao State in the downtown of the capital of the Qi Kingdom, and what is the law of the Qi Kingdom?" I hope that the king will pay attention to this matter and give me justice! ”

King Qi also scolded the people of Yan Guo, but then said slowly: "It's a pity that there is no proof of death, I'm afraid that Yan Guo will not admit ......it."

"Evidence? Isn't it all in front of you, the Yan Ming knife found from the assassin's body, and the testimony of his predecessor when he was dying. ”

Mingyue seemed to be filled with righteous indignation, got up and said, "Doesn't the king believe in the kid? ”

King Qi said with a haha: "My nephew's words, the widow naturally believes it, I am afraid that the assassin will bite the air before he dies and let the real master escape, after all, why did Yan Guo assassinate the prince?" ”

Mingyue laughed: "Why? Isn't that obvious? Of course, it's going to destroy the relationship between Qi and Zhao! ”

After speaking, Mingyue took out the letter she received before going out to see Tian Jia this evening:

"I am afraid that the king did not know that this was a letter sent by the plain king a few hours ago, and I was assassinated before I could present it to the king. Yan Guo was anxious, he expected that assassinating me would definitely split Qi and Zhao, so he couldn't wait to declare war on Zhao State a few days in advance! ”

"What! Yan and Zhao are at war!? Everyone in the palace was shocked, this was the news that caught them off guard.

"Not bad." Mingyue held the letter high and announced: "A few days ago, King Yan made the Song people Rongyi as Gaoyang Jun, so that he cooperated with the Qin State and sent troops to attack Zhao!" ”

He seemed to peel off the cocoon and connected everything: "From the Qin envoy instigating the king to kill Zhao, to the Yan State sending assassins to assassinate the kid, and then to the Yan State to attack Zhao, all of this is a conspiracy between the Qin State and the Yan State!" In order to divide the Qi country and the Zhao country, so that they can be broken! ”
