"Who am I? Where am I from? Where are you going? ”
This is the ultimate question for considering a person, and now for Zhao Mingyue, it is even more difficult to answer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In his memory, he was Zhao Mingyue, a civil servant who had lived in the new century for more than 20 years, and he was also an Anjun of Zhao in the 3rd century BC. He does come from the future, but tracing back to his genealogy and origins, eighty percent is related to the current Zhao State.
So where is he going? Or rather, what is the purpose of his crossing?
People always have to find a reason for themselves to live, even if it is an excuse or a hint, so he turned his attention to the Battle of Changping, which would take place in five years.
In the battle of Changping, Qin Wu Anjun Bai Qi slaughtered more than 400,000 Zhao soldiers, and the history books recorded: "Bleeding into a river, boiling like thunder!" ”
It was an unprecedented massacre in Chinese history, and it was also an unforgettable human tragedy for future generations.
Zhao Mingyue also sighed about this when she was in school, and argued with her classmates whether Zhao Kuo was a mediocre talent on paper, and deduced what Zhao Guo had to do in the Battle of Changping to avoid defeat. But it was just a whim, and then it was thrown aside and thrown into a busy life......
After all, it was a thousand years ago, and the remnants of bricks and rubble.
Now, when Mingyue was in the Zhao State five years before Changping, she really felt that the relationship between that war and herself was so close!
Even a passer-by who has nothing to do with himself can't let this tragedy happen again and remain indifferent, right? What's more, he is now the son of Zhao State, one is prosperous and one is lost, the result of Changping is related to his own interests, once Zhao Guo is defeated, he is afraid that his life will not be easy......
"But how?" I just arrived at the beginning of tomorrow, my body is weak, I lie on the sickbed all day long, and there are people watching my daily life, because of the doting of the Empress Dowager Zhao, he grew up in the hands of women since he was a child, and he didn't go out to seal it, and there were no cronies around him, so he was at a loss.
This was the source of his worries, and in the days that followed, the topic of side-knocking also shifted to matters related to the Qin state.
However, the attendant palace maid has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the court gossip may know a lot, and she has occasionally heard of the big and small things in Handan City, but once it rises to the relationship between countries, how can she know so much? He couldn't get the information he wanted from them.
So Mingyue began to target the eunuch Ling Miaoxian......
……
"Yi" said: "The sky hangs like a saint." "It is said that next to the Heavenly Emperor Star, there are also four eunuch stars around, so since the Zhou Dynasty, the princes have set up official positions in the court, and they have the name of eunuchs. These physically handicapped people either manage the palace access control as the scumber, or manage the harem as temple people.
Zhao also has eunuchs, and has also set up special officials to manage the palace and temple people, which is the eunuch order, which is now served by Miao Xian.
Miao Xian is not young, an old eunuch of sixty or seventy years old, with a yellow face and no beard, but his eyebrows are already white, wearing soap-colored narrow-sleeved clothes, there is no beads and jade on his body, his face is full of wrinkles, and he is very kind no matter who he meets. But in the palace, except for the queen mother, the king and the princes, everyone who saw him had to greet him respectfully.
Mingyue saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, he knew very well that this eunuch Ling was not just a slave of the Zhao royal family. He is a close confidant of King Zhao Huiwen, not only organizes the chores in the palace in an orderly manner, but also has his own right to speak in state affairs, and even King Yanzhao wants to make friends with him and show favor to him when he meets the alliance.
Miao Xian also has his own mansion in Handan City, with many customers, and the famous Lin Xiangru was introduced to King Zhao Huiwen through his door.
Now that King Zhao Huiwen is dead, Miao Xian will be assigned by the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the task given to him by the Empress Dowager is to take care of Chang'anjun, who is recovering from a serious illness, while he is busy with government affairs, which is more important to the Empress Dowager than anything.
Although Mingyue was just a small civil servant at the grassroots level in her previous life, she had dealt with all kinds of people in the past few years, not to mention anything else, her communication skills were not bad. He could see that once the son of heaven and a courtier, King Huiwen was dead, and the new monarch Zhao Wangdan trusted the eunuchs who served him when he was the crown prince, and Miao Xian, who had lost his backer, was the only one who could rely on him in the palace, and the Empress Dowager Zhao loved her the most.
Relying on this identity, in Mingyue's mind, he doesn't need to break the knots, as long as he shows a little respect for Miao Xian, and treats him as an old minister and hero of Zhao State, rather than a slave, the relationship will naturally get better.
"Childe asked the old servant when he entered the palace?"
In a sentence that was almost there, Mingyue asked about Miao Xian's past, and he replied with a smile: "Count it down, I'm afraid it's been forty or fifty years, and that was when King Wuling was on the throne, and when he entered the palace, the old servant was probably about the same age as Gongzi......"
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, lightly slapped his mouth, and laughed at himself: "The old man is confused, how dare he compare the lowly body of the old servant with the body of the son's daughter?" ”
"How can the eunuch order be lighthearted?"
Mingyue hurriedly stopped his hand, considered his words, and comforted: "Don't look at Mingyue's youth, but you also know that the eunuch Ling is the confidant of the former king, if there is no recommendation from you, there will be no Lin Xiangbang today, and in Handan City, there will be no good story of returning to Zhao and the general." What's even more rare is that Lin Xiangbang soared, promoted to Shangqing, and Zhao Xiang, the title is far above the old master, but the eunuch Ling has no complaints, this kind of open-mindedness and magnificence, Mingyue secretly thinks that even General Lian Po has to be ashamed! “
Miao Xian was not overjoyed as he imagined, but glanced at Mingyue fixedly, and suddenly smiled: "Childe, the old servant has felt it before, since the death of the first king, the son has matured a lot. ”
This sentence made Mingyue nervous, wondering if she was showing too much.
Fortunately, it was okay not to mention King Huiwen, as soon as he talked about him, Miao Xian's nose was sore, and he wiped his tears again, lamenting that Haotian was unkind, so that the first king could not live long......
After crying for a while, when Mingyue asked someone to hand him a scarf, Miao Xian smiled and said that fortunately, the Empress Dowager was merciful, so that his old bones could still stay in the palace and serve, so that he could do his last bit for the Zhao family. Looking at Zhao Guoguo Tai Min'an, watching Chang'an Jun grow up, and when he went to the Yellow Spring, he could report to the former king with peace of mind.
Although the process was a bit different from what Mingyue imagined, after passing this incident, he became acquainted with Miao Xian.
To Mingyue's surprise, although Miao Xian behaved close to him, he always guarded his bottom line, maintained the relationship between slave and master, and never crossed the rules. Coupled with his pampered and unfazed performance when he deliberately praised Miao Xian before, Mingyue did not dare to despise it.
Can the eunuch order that can be simple in the heart of the king and stand for decades without falling, is it light to be with it?
But this is enough, through Miao Xian, Mingyue learned that the current monarch of Qin is Qin Wangji, that is, the famous King Qin Zhaoxiang. King Qin's mother Empress Dowager Xuan Miyue just returned to politics last year, retired to Ganquan Palace, Empress Dowager Xuan fell, the "four nobles" of the Qin State who were in power for a while, Marquis Wei Ran, Jingyang Jun Gongzi City, Huayang Jun Mi Rong, Gaoling Jun Gongzi Kui also stepped down one after another, and now the Qin King has a monopoly on monarchy, and also appointed a new prime minister, Zhang Lu of Wei......
"Zhang Lu?" Mingyue secretly guessed that this was probably the pseudonym of Fan Sui, who would repay the kindness of a meal and repay the grievances of the eyes!
This Fan Sui has just worshiped as the prime minister, the world still does not know his true identity, let alone what he is capable of, after the resignation of Marquis Wei Ran, the most feared Qin people in the six countries of Shandong is Wu Anjun......
"This Wu Anjun is terrible, in the earlier battle of Yique, with less than half of the troops, he broke the Han and Wei coalition forces and beheaded 240,000! He also led tens of thousands of people to fight with the state of Chu, which claimed to hold a million halberds and a place of 5,000 miles, but it was vulnerable in his hands. Wu Anjun fought a battle and raised Yan and Ying, attacked the city with water and drowned more than 100,000 people, and then fought and burned the tomb, three wars, the king of Chu didn't even want the country, and fled to Chen Di for refuge in a hurry, and the three doctors of Chu were so sad that they committed suicide by diving. ”
"These two wars, the old servant has only heard of them, but the battle of Huayang nine years ago is like what he experienced yesterday."
These days, Mingyue had never seen Miao Xian's face so pale, and she was wiping the fine sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.
This kind of tragic war in the Warring States Period, where tens of thousands of people were beheaded at every turn and people were killed, was greatly shocked by Mingyue, who still thinks of modern people, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked: "Eunuch Order, what happened at that time?" ”
"At that time, Zhao and Wei attacked Korea, and Qin saved Korea. Wu Anjun hurriedly marched to Huayang, annihilated the Wei army of 130,000 people, captured three Wei generals alive, and Wei Xiangmangmao fled alone. Then, he defeated Jia Yan, the general of Zhao State, and tied 20,000 Zhao pawns with their hands tied, sank into the turbid river, and drowned them all! When the king heard the news, he took the old servant to the river to look, but he saw an endless stream of floating corpses floating down from the upstream, and the old servant still ...... unforgettable."
The situation of that day must have left an indelible impression on Miao Xian, and until now, when he called Bai Qi, he did not dare to call him by his name, but called him "Wu Anjun".
In the end, Miao Xian defined the man in an unquestionable tone: "Wu Anjun is the god of war, and he uses both soldiers and Qizheng, unless Sun and Wu are reborn, no one in the world can beat him!" ”
Who knows, Miao Xian's words made Mingyue's hairs stand on end, and he only felt that the huge black figures of Bai Qi and Qin Jun were slowly pressing towards him like a high mountain, making people breathless!
Bai Qi, he is really a living legend in this Warring States world!
Miao Xian was still babbling about things related to Bai Qi, but Mingyue looked away and looked at the wooden screen in front of him.
This object is also called "扆" (yǐ), the surface of the lacquer (xiū) is painted with murals, but you can see a swimming phoenix flying in the sky, soaring clouds and mist, the body is light and vigorous, the golden phoenix body, the edge is red or green moire, dragon pattern and diamond pattern.
Moving her gaze downward, Mingyue saw the base of this screen: the wrong gold and bronze tiger devouring deer screen seat, a hungry tiger with round eyes and ears straight up, devouring a weak fawn. The fawn struggled desperately in the tiger's mouth, and the short tail was upturned hard, but it was never able to get out......
"That little deer, just like me, is like the 400,000 Zhao pawns who were slaughtered by the Tiger and Wolf Qin in the future Battle of Changping!"
He couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and thought to himself: "I know a little bit about the historical trend at most, but I don't know much about the specific details. ”
"Now that the King of Qin is in charge, Fan Sui is almost about to offer a strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and with the god of war Bai Qi, the war machine of the Qin State has been fully launched. I'm just a son of a deep palace, a little feudal monarch with no reputation and no achievements, and I can only gain a foothold in Zhao by relying on the doting of the Empress Dowager Zhao, can I really change the outcome of the Battle of Changping? ”
For a while, Mingyue was a little difficult, and how to help Zhao Guo break the situation before the Battle of Changping became a big problem that plagued him.
Day and night, this was all in his mind, and he dreamed more than once that on the Changping killing field, there was scarlet blood everywhere, and the entire Danshui River Valley was full of corpses dressed in Zhao Guoxu's uniform, some of them were in different places, some of them were full of arrows, and some were buried in the ground, leaving only a big thin head with staring eyes......
He was also one of the victims who was buried alive, drenched in blood, and his life was suffocated by the ticking of time, and finally only a hand desperately stretched out of the ground, and thousands of years later, turned into a shocking pile of bones......
"No!" After waking up from the dream, Mingyue was already sweating profusely, and he knew that if he didn't find a way to solve this matter, it would become his nightmare forever.
After that, the weather warmed up day by day, mid-spring February has arrived, the swallows peck the new mud and settle under the eaves of the palace, and the wild geese returning from the north are arranged in a zigzag, crossing the blue sky of Handan City......
Standing on top of the platform, breathing in the fresh air, Mingyue felt that her body, which had been sick for the past month, was almost all healed, but the hidden dangers in her heart were getting stronger and stronger.
However, at this moment, he was shocked to hear the news of Qin's attack on Zhao from Miao Xian!
……
"Qin is a state of tigers and wolves, the most moral, and now taking advantage of the national mourning of Zhao has not ended, I have sent a large army to attack me, and I have pulled out the three border cities."
Now that the relationship between Qin and Zhao is hostile, Miao Xian has never had a good impression of Qin, and he hates the Qin people even more when they take advantage of the funeral of the first king.
Mingyue's most sensitive thing was the Qin and Zhao wars, he was afraid that history would change, so that the Battle of Changping would happen in advance, and immediately asked: "Eunuch Order, when is this happening?" ”
"Twenty days ago, that is, not long after Childe was sick."
Seeing Mingyue's worried face, Miao Xian secretly said that it was not good, if the Queen Mother came back and saw Chang'anjun like this, he was afraid that he would be blamed, so he hurriedly smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother has already sent a messenger to ask for help from Qi State, as long as Qi State sends troops, the Qin people will naturally know the difficulty and retreat." ”
Mingyue was stunned: "The Queen Mother asked Qi Guo for help?" ”
"Yes, it is extremely convenient for Handan to Linzi, and if the horse is express, it will be as short as ten days and as long as half a month, and the messenger will return."
"Oops!" Mingyue scolded in her heart that her mind was attracted by the Battle of Changping five years later, but she forgot about the important events that were close at hand and closely related to him.
At the beginning of a text he had learned in middle school, he came to mind.
"Empress Dowager Zhao is new, and Qin is in a hurry to attack it. Zhao begged for help from Qi, and Qi said: Chang'an Jun must be taken as the hostage, and the soldiers will be out! ”
……
The events of the past month or so have surfaced one by one, and it is precisely because of the surprise that Qin attacked Zhao this time, and the historical event of Zhao asking Qi for help is likely to affect him, Mingyue only on the day when the envoy of Zhao came back to report the conditions of Qi to the Queen Mother, so that Miao Xian could take him to Fengtai, where the Queen Mother listened to the government.
Miao Xianao couldn't help him, so he could only agree.
The so-called "platform" is the common building of the palace of the emperor and the princes of the pre-Qin Dynasty, with rammed earth as the foundation, so that the building is higher than the surface, shining in all directions, in order to highlight the unattainable height of the meat eaters, and laugh proudly in the humble room. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were Zhanghuatai of Chu State, Luzhitai of Qi State, and Xintai of Weiguo. Later, the three families were divided, and the Zhao family was listed as a prince, and after moving the capital to Handan, they began to build a large number of buildings, and the Taixie palace was naturally indispensable.
The Zhao King City is located in the southwest of Handan, separated from the main city known as the "Great Northern City" by a moat and city walls, and is the administrative center of the entire Zhao Kingdom. The palace is divided into three areas, and the three small cities in the east, west and north are in the shape of a zigzag and are horns of each other.
Among them, the north city is the garden of King Zhao, here dig the soil and dig the pond, plant trees for the forest, also raise a lot of flowers and plants and roe deer, deer and other animals, yo you deer roar, eat the apple of the wild, the spring breeze sweeps through the pond forest, brushes people's faces, is extremely warm and moist.
Xicheng is called "Longtai", which is mainly the main hall of the Zhao Kingdom and the Mingtang Temple, and is the place where the Great Dynasty Meeting and various ceremonies and sacrifices are held.
The east city, which is separated by a wall from the west city, is called "Fengtai", and it is the harem of King Zhao. During the special period of the Empress Dowager Zhao's regency, the main hall of Fengtai became the venue for her office, and the important ministers of Zhao State were able to enter here and ask the Empress Dowager for state affairs.
Fengtai is a building complex with eight zhang high platform as the core, Mingyue as the prince of the king, after the new king ascended the throne, he should have moved out of the Zhao Palace, but because he was sick and bedridden at the funeral of King Zhao Huiwen, he was left in the palace by the Empress Dowager Zhao, and lived near Fengtai, trotting over but not far.
There is a eunuch order to open the way, coupled with his identity as Chang'anjun, but the road is unimpeded, and he smoothly enters the inner room separated by a wall from the main hall of Fengtai.
Through the curtain, Mingyue heard the voice in the hall......
Sure enough, the token that Qi Guo asked for from Zhao Guo was his Chang'an Jun!
Then, Lin Xiangru's analysis of the current situation and the lack of diplomatic relations between the state, and the ministers' requests for the queen mother to give up Chang'anjun and go to Qi as a hostage came to his ears one by one. Pingyuan Jun and Lian Po, these people are the generals of Zhao State, the pillars of Zhao State, and the figures who played an important role in the Battle of Changping five years later.
And the son of Zhao Hao, the horse service king, is one of the protagonists of Changping, Zhao Kuo!
Listening to their words, Mingyue's heart was extremely complicated.
Violent quarrels and conflicts broke out between the ministers in the palace and the Queen Mother, and the next thing was the deafening words of the Queen Mother Zhao.
"If there is a reply to Chang'anjun as a hostage, the old woman will spit on her face!"
Just this sentence moved Mingyue.
In his previous life, when he learned this paragraph in the Chinese textbook, Mingyue, who had nothing to do with himself, couldn't understand it, and he felt that his mother's love for her son was like the proportion of Hongmao and Taishan compared to national events.
But when it was about him, when everyone was about to push him out, the hand that held him tightly and did not allow him to be sent to trade as an object seemed so precious......
Mingyue had no maternal love since she was a child in her previous life, but now, Empress Dowager Zhao's unreasonable and angry drinking made him feel an indescribable warmth, nourishing his heart.
So when the Empress Dowager Zhao came out, Mingyue bowed her head and bowed heavily to her!
In this, there are thanks to her, and there are also apologies owed to her......
