Chapter 96: The Queen

It's night, in the Linzi Palace, on the platform of the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The platform of the road bed is one of the main halls of the Qi Palace, but in addition to the luxurious decoration outside, the more you go inside, you will be surprised to find that as the owner of the Qi Palace, the queen's bedroom is slightly old, which shows her simplicity. And even in April, when summer comes, all doors and windows are still closed except for the main entrance, and the curtains are still made of thick brocade felt blankets, not replaced with summer tulle.

The reason for this is because Qi Wangtian Fazhang is not in good health, and he is very afraid of cold and cold in recent years, so the palace still maintains the appearance of winter.

After entertaining Chang'an Jun elsewhere, King Qi dragged the sick body back here, and as soon as he came in, he said that he was afraid of the cold, and the queen hurriedly asked him to take the pills of the warlock below, and added a copper stove to the house. For a while, the palace maids in the room felt the heat and stuffiness, and the queen was also wiping sweat frequently with a silk handkerchief, and the whole palace was filled with the aroma of the incense burner slowly spitting out, there was a strange taste, it was said that this was prepared by the magician for the king of Qi, which had the effect of awakening the mind, and the king of Qi had always been convinced of this.

After his body felt a little more comfortable, and no one heard him left and right, Qi Wangtian Fazhang took his old wife's hand and said emotionally: "It has been more than ten years since you and I first met in Chengyang, and I, the king of Qi, can do it safely and don't have to worry about the affairs in the palace, thanks to my wife's virtuous ......."

Tian Fazhang also had a lot of women when he was the prince of Qi, but in the disaster of the Five Kingdoms of Qi, their Tian clan lost almost everything, 100,000 troops lost their divisions, Linzi was also lost, King Min of Qi was like a lost dog, fled in a hurry between the countries of Wei, Lu and Di, and Tian Fazhang went into exile all the way to Jucheng, and later King Min of Qi also came here after several tosses and turns, and established the exiled court of Qi.

Perhaps God finally began to take revenge on the oppression and slaughter of Jiang Qi's office by the Tian family two hundred years ago, Tian Qi's bad luck is not over here, Qin Zhao Wei carved up the western border of Qi State, Yan State Le Yi occupied most of Qi State, at this time Chu State did not participate in the Five Kingdoms Expedition Qi but in the name of saving Qi, sent the general Nao Ya to Ju, Qi Min King can only hope for the rescue of Chu State now, so he takes Nao Ya as Qi Xiang.

Unexpectedly, Nao Ya was not well-intentioned, and had already accepted Le Yi's condition of "sharing the land invasion with Yan", and after he forced King Min of Qi to reassign the land of Huaibei to Chu State, and sent the Chu army to Chengyang, the King of Qi, who was once known as the "Eastern Emperor", lost his value......

Tian Fazhang still remembers that Nao Ya took his father to Guli Street, the most prosperous street in Judu, and blamed King Qi Min: "There are hundreds of miles between Qiancheng and Bochang, and there is blood rain in the sky, wetting the clothes of the people, can the king know?" King Qi Min said with a blank face: "I don't know." ā€

Nao Ya asked again: "The ground crack spring between Qiancheng and Bochang, can the king know?" King Qi Min also replied: "I don't know."

Naoya asked again: "Someone is crying at the gate of the palace, looking for it but no one is found, and when he walks away, he hears the cry, does the king know?" King Qi Min said for the third time that he didn't know.

So Naoya began to count his crimes: "The blood and rain in the sky wet his clothes, and it was the heavens that warned the king; The earth cracks and springs, and it is the earth that admonishes the king; Someone was crying in front of the palace gate, and someone was admonishing the king. Heaven, earth, and man all warned the king, but why was the king still obsessed and did not know the warning? Today, Naoya is going to get rid of you, a tyrannical and mediocre, evil and unscrupulous king for the people of Qi country! ā€

In the end, Nao Ya sent someone to remove the tendons of the limbs of the dignified King Qi Min, and hung them on the beams and pillars of the Jucheng Temple, and hung them for a day and a night and suffered to death.

Tian Fazhang still remembers his father's wailing and screaming before he died......

The fate of Qi has slipped to the lowest point so far; Qi Zhisheji, so far endless.

Naoya thought that there was no need for the Qi State to exist anymore, and planned to slaughter the Qi State Office and let the Chu State annex Ju, Langya and other places, so Dasuo Chengyang looked everywhere for the grandson of the prince of the Qi State, especially the Prince Tian Fazhang!

Tian Fazhang had no choice but to cut off his long dark hair, change his name and surname, and hide as a servant in Jucheng Taishi's house. However, Tai Shiyi's clever and clever daughter felt that this servant was strange in appearance and extraordinary in conversation, and was by no means an ordinary person, so she often helped him, and even made a private agreement with him for life......

Tian Fazhang was moved, but also told his true identity to this woman who was strong in danger.

At this time, the Qi people of Jucheng were dissatisfied with the rule of the Chu State, and finally Wang Sun Jia stood up and launched a riot with the angry Qi people, killed the Chu general Naoya, and drove the Chu army away, and they also began to look for the long-missing prince of the Qi State.

After witnessing the tragic death of King Min of Qi, Tian Fazhang was cautious, afraid of being killed, and did not dare to stand up, but only under the admonition of Taishi, who had an affair with him, did he admit that he was the crown prince, and after being confirmed by the exiled ministers of Qi, he was embraced as the new king of Qi......

Tian Fazhang did not forget the past, and the first thing he did to the king of Qi was to make the daughter of the Taishi clan the queen, that is, the queen in front of him now!

The queen is actually not very old, now she is less than forty years old, her appearance is dignified, and she has the demeanor of the mother of a country, and she smiled when she heard this: "Why did the king say this? It's just that he is not feeling well, so why bother to summon Chang Anjun in person? Wouldn't it be okay to let Xiangbang or Jian'er do it for you? ā€œ

"The stakes are so high, I can't help but ask in person, how can I let the prime minister be in power? As for Jian'er, alas...... He is still a child, and he has many conflicts with Chang'anjun, even if I hand over this matter to you, I don't worry about handing it over to him! ā€œ

Tian Fazhang has always been suspicious, he had suspected Tian Dan before, and now although he excused himself that he could not be the same as the same person, he dismissed Tian Dan's phase, but the new Xiang Bang, that is, Wang Sun Jia, who raised his arms and took Ju people to kill Naoya, he was also full of doubts.

Looking at the Qi Kingdom, the only person he can trust is the queen, and in front of his wife, he doesn't even have to be called a lonely widow.

As King Qi's illness worsened day by day, he also knew that he would not live long, and seeing that his son was mediocre again, he had already conceived the idea of letting the queen regent after death, so many major matters of government and diplomacy also began to be discussed with the queen.

"I summoned Chang'anjun today, not only to tell him that Zhao Bing had retreated, but also to urge Zhao Guo to quickly fulfill his promise and deliver the city, but also to test this son again."

"A son who is not a few months older than Jian'er, what is there to tempt?" But the queen doesn't care too much, in the eyes of her mother, it is always her own son who is the best.

"Otherwise, this son should not be underestimated."

King Qi didn't speak for a long time, so he had to rest for a while, he paused and said: "Queen, do you remember that more than half a month ago, the widow used Fan Sui to do Qin Xiang's thing, testing Pingyuan Jun and Chang'an Jun?" Chang Anjun not only responded properly, but also falsely accused me of Fan Sui's unbelievable kindness, so that I finally ordered An Pingjun to send troops to attack Qin Zhu Zhao. ā€

The queen nodded: "The king mentioned it again today, could it be that there is another change?" ā€

"There was a change, at that time, Fan Sui forced Wei Xiang Wei Qi away, and a few days after the second son of Zhao learned of this, Pingyuan Jun hurriedly returned to the country under the pretext of going back to hand over the city. Now I got a message from Handan......"

King Qi narrowed his eyes: "There are rumors that Pingyuan Jun has accepted Wei Qi!" Queen, do you know what that means? ā€

The queen also had some insight, and couldn't help but gasp: "Pingyuan Jun is really bold, this is to tell the world that Zhao Guo is not afraid of Qin Xiang, and completely break with Qin and make enemies......"

"However, after accepting Wei Qi, the name of Pingyuan Jun will inevitably be praised by the scholars of the Qin State who are disgusted by the nations, and they will also say that the Zhao State is a big country with responsibility, and they will rush to it. I asked An Pingjun to attack Tao to save Zhao this time, I just want not to offend Zhao State, and at the same time exchange Zhao State to return a few cities, and then whether to form an alliance with Zhao State is still between the two. ā€

His eyes were cold, and he did not forget the hatred of the year: "The Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, and Zhao contributed a lot, and in the following ten years, Zhao repeatedly fought with Yan to occupy Gaotang and other big cities. Therefore, I have never trusted Zhao State, and I am not interested in forming a long-term alliance with Zhao State, once Qi State is in trouble, I don't think Zhao will save me, what is the use of such an ally? ā€œ

"But this incident makes me suspicious, Zhao Guo can accept Wei Qi today, and he may be able to repay Li to save Qi in the future, but the alliance is profitable......"

Tian Fazhang's eyes lit up: "My wife, if you agree to the alliance of the Zhao Kingdom, and then marry the eldest princess to consolidate the alliance with the King of Zhao, what do you think?" ā€

"The concubine shouldn't have said much." The queen lowered her head and said: "But learn the lessons of the previous kings, the way of life of the Qi State, you should learn from Huang Lao, be cautious about the country, and believe with the princes, now Qin is strong and Zhao is weak, in the eyes of the concubine, it is still not worth offending the Qin State." ā€

"But the Qi State has already offended the Qin State by attacking Taoyi, and even if the Qi State wants to be neutral now, I'm afraid it will not be easy." Tian Fazhang was a little helpless, things in the world are like this, sometimes they only have time to make a decision, and the situation changes rapidly, making the previous decision seem reckless. Now that I think about it carefully, accepting Chang'anjun and sending troops to help Zhao seems a bit reckless and short-sighted.

"The king might as well wait."

The queen smiled and said: "It should be Qin who should be anxious, because Qin is afraid of Qi and Zhao joining forces, and Zhao is also anxious, because Zhao is afraid that Qi will abandon Zhao and let Zhao face Qin alone. ā€œ

"How can I not be in a hurry......"

King Qi was excited, coughed violently again, and said with difficulty after a long time: "After all, I don't know if I can survive this year, and I also want to set the national policy of Qi before I die, how can I give all the choices to my wife." Although Zhao Guo has a lot of conflicts with Qi, but now it is my sister who is the regent, I know that she is a person, although she will not sell Zhao and Qi, but she will never break with Qi easily, looking around, compared to Chu Weiyan, Zhao State is still reliable......"

"The king is really well-intentioned."

Although the king of Qi was suspicious and unkind, he was kind to the queen from the bottom of his heart, and the queen couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and choked up while holding her husband's hand.

At this moment, a temple man approached the room, bowed his head outside the curtain and said, "The king, the queen, Dr. Ermine asks to see you." ā€œ

The king of Qi and the king looked at each other, it was so late, and Mink Bo, who was in charge of foreign affairs, asked to see, what was more important than disturbing the rest of King Qi?

When the king of Qi struggled to get up, put on his regular clothes, and with the support of the queen, he let Mink Bo enter, but he saw that Mink Bo's face could not see joy or sorrow, but he just held a silk book in his hand, bowed down cautiously, and offered the letter.

"The king, the queen, forgive the ministers for being rude, this is the letter dictated by the king of Qin, written by the Qin Xiang himself, and it must be opened by the king himself!"
