"Mingyue, why are you here?"

At this moment, in the face of Empress Dowager Zhao's inquiry, Mingyue lowered her head and avoided her mother's gaze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info also said before that after being reborn, he had two sorrows, one of which was the Battle of Changping five years later. The second is that she doesn't know how to face the Empress Dowager Zhao, who licks calves deeply.

Because she was busy taking care of King Huiwen's funeral affairs and taking care of government affairs, Empress Dowager Zhao could only spare a little time to visit her beloved son until late at night every day.

At this time, Mingyue often pretended to be asleep, and the old mother sat next to the couch, her eyes full of crow's feet looked at her son's sleeping face for a long time, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her slightly rough fingers gently stroked his long hair, or she sang a ballad from Qi's hometown to the beat......

"I'm so concerned. Fill the ears with plainness, and still use Qionghua to ......"

Singing and singing, she would suddenly cry, because she remembered her husband.

Who says the royal family has no kinship?

At this time, Mingyue wanted to get up and comfort him, but his body tried to restrain his breathing, and he didn't dare to move, until the Queen Mother left and the lights and candles went out, he could turn over and be distressed.

In front of her, Mingyue always had a deep sense of guilt, he felt that he had taken away her most beloved little son, stolen his body, and enjoyed the maternal love that would have been impossible to get.

But this fact must never be said......

As everyone knows, Mingyue's weak-hearted posture is a manifestation of grievance in the eyes of his mother, Empress Dowager Zhao......

This sensitive and anxious young man, when she saw her son like this, her heart was about to break.

"Mingyue, my son ......"

hugged Mingyue, but the Empress Dowager Zhao cried first, in order to cover up the haggard face after the widow, the powder delicacy that was smeared on it was suddenly washed away by tears: "Did you hear all those words just now?" ”

"I heard it." Mingyue replied in a hoarse voice, although he was no longer the previous Chang'anjun, after all, his body was connected by flesh and blood.

These days, the worry about the current situation and the guilt for the Empress Dowager Zhao have come to his heart, and in a hurry, he blurted out:

"Since Qin is very anxious to attack Zhao, let my son share the worries of the queen mother, share the worries of the Zhao country, and go to the Qi country as a hostage!"

As soon as these words came out, Miao Xian was stunned, and Empress Dowager Zhao was teary-eyed, and when she heard Mingyue's words, she suddenly stopped crying.

"Mingyue, is this your true words?"

"I ......" Mingyue lowered his head again, five years later, the big trouble, the accidents that followed in front of him, the intriguing court, everything was very different from the peaceful life in his previous life, and the information he had collected was not enough, and he still couldn't make the best choice.

Mingyue's hesitant expression made Empress Dowager Zhao feel distressed, and she thought secretly: "Poor child, he just lost his father, but he has to be taken as a hostage, he is extremely sensible, these days, he must be worried about this matter, and now he takes the initiative to share my worries......"

This intensified Empress Dowager Zhao's determination, she raised her eyebrows, and said fiercely: "My son, Hugh has to listen to the words of those clan ministers!" Don't be afraid, the sky is falling, there is a mother for you to block, you can rest assured, no one can take you away from your mother! ”

At this time, Mingyue was a little dumbfounded.

……

Although he took the initiative to ask for help, the Empress Dowager Zhao's vigorous maintenance of Mingyue on Fengtai untied his heart knot.

"Since I owe her a son, then try my best to play the role of a good son so that she can be happy." He thought so.

On the way back to the dormitory, he relaxed his mood and let the character of Chang Anjun in his subconscious be revealed, showing the innocence of the child, which made the Empress Dowager Zhao giggle.

"Queen Mother, my son's health is really good, don't believe it!"

Mingyue followed the Empress Dowager Zhao's chariot, sometimes walking slowly, sometimes trotting, sometimes breaking off the cinnamon and peach branches that sprouted next to the stage, and startling the crows that stopped in the courtyard of the palace......

Although his cheeks were red and he was sweating a little, this healthy and lively posture was something that the sick Chang Anjun had never had in the past few months.

Empress Dowager Zhao saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart, for the sake of her son's body, she didn't know how many times she woke up in the middle of the night. She had prayed to the god Huo Taishan believed in by Zhao State, the ancestors of the Zhao family, and even the eight gods of her hometown Qi State:

"If I can make my son heal, even if it costs the old woman's life, I will not hesitate to do it!"

Now that Mingyue is as healthy as ever, a big stone in her heart has finally fallen.

Different from the heavy mood when she came, the Empress Dowager Zhao was in a much lighter mood on the return trip, it was a meal at night, and because Mingyue was feasting opposite her, she drank an extra bowl of porridge.

According to the rules of the palace, he didn't say anything about eating, put down the dagger, took the kudzu towel and wiped his hands, Mingyue said: "The son is fine, but the queen mother must also take care of her body." ”

In later generations, Empress Dowager Zhao is not particularly old, but in the Warring States period, where the average life expectancy is only thirty or forty, she can call herself an old woman. She has bad legs and feet, so she can only sit on the chariot to travel, and Mingyue saw that after she removed the fandel, she was much more beautiful and dignified than when she first saw her, but she was much haggard, and she couldn't help but persuade her:

"The queen mother can't just drink light porridge on weekdays, but also eat a little favorite food, such as vegetables and fruits."

Empress Dowager Zhao stared at the food full of cases, but she didn't have any appetite at all, she sighed: "I know, it's just that I don't have a good appetite and can't eat it." ”

Mingyue said seriously: "Appetite is related to the stomach, the queen mother can't sit in front of the desk all day long, it's better to share the state affairs with the royal brother and the clan, and the ministers, and when the weather is clear, the son will accompany you to walk around a little, so that it can be good for your health." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao laughed: "My son is not only sensible, but also understands a lot of things." ”

Then he glanced at Miao Xian, who was waiting next to him: "Eunuch Order, is it your godson?" ”

Miao Xian said: "The old servant is a lowly stupid person, how can he teach a son?" Or Chang'anjun was born to inherit the wisdom of the Queen Mother, and gave birth to a pure filial piety heart, the Queen Mother is blessed. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Mingyue and smiled slightly, and the two of them tacitly agreed.

Chang Anjun has changed from the carefree, pampered and arrogant little boy to an extremely sensible precocious teenager, and even cares about national affairs, which is not surprising in Miao Xian's opinion. Because thirty years ago, he also witnessed the transformation of a person's cocoon into a butterfly......

It was a huge upheaval called the Dune Palace Rebellion, and King Zhao Huiwen, who was not yet twenty years old, experienced many things overnight: the eldest brother usurped the throne on behalf of Anyang Jun's son Zhang and launched a mutiny, Zhao Xiangfeiyi was killed, and Zhao Chenqun rose up to attack Anyang Jun. After the defeat of Anyang Jun, he hid in the sand dunes palace of King Zhao Wuling, and after Li Dui and Gongzi Cheng successfully quelled the rebellion, they simply did not let go of King Zhao Wuling, and went to the palace without leaving a grain of grain, surrounded him for three months, and trapped him alive in the sand dunes......

It is said that before he died, he was still trying his best to climb and wanted to dig out the bird eggs on the tree to eat......

Then, Li Dui and Gongzicheng monopolized the government, but the world knew Fengyangjun Li Dui but did not know King Zhao, and King Huiwen was like a puppet.

It was during that painful period that Miao Xian, who was still a small temple man, witnessed King Huiwen's transformation from a deep palace son to a calm and introverted king......

How similar it is to today.

Empress Dowager Zhao was finally in a good mood, Miao Xian didn't dare to mention the first king, but Mingyue took this opportunity to take the initiative to ask about something.

"The Queen Mother."

Obediently helping Empress Dowager Zhao pinch her sore shoulder, he asked softly: "The queen mother doesn't want her son to be a hostage, and her son is very happy." But this time the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, if there was no help from the Qi State, how would the Zhao State resist? ”

……

Empress Dowager Zhao, who closed her eyes and enjoyed her son's filial piety, stiffened her shoulders, but said casually: "Although the first king is gone, he left us a rich and powerful Zhao country...... Eunuch Order, when Su Qin came to see the first king, did he say so? ”

"Yui."

Miao Xian also recited proudly: "Mr. Su Qin said at the time that Zhao is two thousand miles, with hundreds of thousands of armor, thousands of cars, and ten thousand horses. Qin Zhi's fear of the world is not as good as Zhao! ”

It turned out that the Seven Heroes of the Warring States were originally the strongest in Wei, and Wei Wenhou was equivalent to the overlord of the world. However, in the middle period, as various countries began to change their laws, Qin, Qi, and Chu began to rise and defeated Wei, and Wei became a second-rate country from then on.

Although the state of Chu was large, it was greatly weakened during the reign of King Huai of Chu and lost its status as a great power. So it became a confrontation between Qin and Qi, and King Qin Zhao and King Min of Qi once gave each other the title of emperor, called the Eastern Emperor and the Western Emperor.

Then, relying on the mediation of Su Qin, the death of the Yan State, the father of the Empress Dowager Zhao, the invincible King Min of Qi, was attacked by the Five Kingdoms after destroying the Song Dynasty, and was occupied by Le Yi More than 70 cities, and the Qi State was almost destroyed. As a result, Qin, who had no opponents, became a proud superpower, capturing Hedong of Wei and Yan Ying of Chu in one fell swoop, dominating the world.

Now, the only one who can compete with Qin in the Six Kingdoms of Shandong is the newly rising Zhao State after the Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot.

King Zhao Huiwen inherited the military reform of King Zhao Wuling, and also cultivated good governance, and promoted famous generals such as Lian Po and Lin Xiangru from low-level soldiers. Externally, Zhao Guoxian cooperated with Yan State, cooperated with the Five Kingdoms of Le Yi to conquer Qi, seized the rich land on both sides of the Jishui River, and greatly enhanced the national strength. Subsequently, he stopped the eastward advance of Qiang Qin several times.

In the Battle of Huayang, although Zhao was defeated by Bai Qi and 20,000 people were killed, he did not hurt his bones. In 269 B.C., Qin attacked Zhao Guoyan again, and Qin met Hu Yang and Zhao Hao in a narrow way, but they were defeated. The Qin people were not reconciled, and when they returned, they took revenge on Wei and attacked several provinces, and Zhao general Lian Po rescued Wei, and broke the Qin army in several battles......

The defeat of Qin twice in a row within one year was the best record of the six countries against Qin in the past 30 years since Meng Weijun attacked Qin and entered Hangu Pass. At this time, the Qin State was also a little jealous of the Zhao State, and this was the case that during the lifetime of King Huiwen, "Qin did not dare to raise his army and attack Zhao".

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao complained that Qi Guo was bargaining with herself, and simply said angrily:

"The old woman doesn't believe it, Zhao Guo can't repel the Qin people by himself, since Ma Fujun and General Lian Po were able to defeat the Qin army in a row four years ago, why can't they this time?"

However, Mingyue could see that Empress Dowager Zhao was deliberately reckless in front of him......

It is true that Zhao is relatively rich and powerful after the accumulation of King Zhao Huiwen, and it is also true that it was able to thwart Qin's two attacks. But at this time, now that the new monarch has just ascended the throne, there are also some small problems within the Zhao State, according to Miao Xian, some troops have also been transferred to the northern Daijun, Yanmen to defend against the Xiongnu, the country is empty, which caused the Qin army to attack, Zhao can not concentrate troops to resist the situation.

Not to mention the ambiguous attitude of Yan Guo behind him, which has the potential to attack Zhao with Qin Lian.

"Queen Mother, if the Zhao State is isolated and helpless, and the Qin State gains from the city on the border, the evil is born to the gall, so that Wu Anjun will fight Zhao in vain, what should it be?"

As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager Zhao was also frightened, although Zhao was strong, but it was only dominant in the six countries of Shandong, compared with Qin, it was much inferior, and she had little confidence in Zhao Guo to resist Wu Anjun Baiqi alone.

The queen mother retreated in her heart, and now that King Zhao Huiwen has not completed the burial ceremony in May, if you can solve the problem of fighting and fighting, it is better not to cut down soldiers.

"Big deal, let Qi Guo change a hostage?"

After coming up with such an idea, Empress Dowager Zhao lovingly pulled Mingyue to sit beside her: "As for you, you just need to accompany the queen mother in the palace and let Lulingjun go to Linzi......"

"Lulingjun ......" read this title in his heart, and Mingyue remembered that this was his half-brother, Zhao Tong, who was named Lulingjun.

If memory serves, he and Zhao Tong get along well and are childhood friends. On the contrary, he was estranged from Zhao Wangdan, a fellow mother, and even ...... Nervous!

It was also a coincidence that at this moment, the temple people outside the palace came to report, saying that the king and Lulingjun came together to greet the queen mother and visit Chang'anjun......
