Chapter 81: Undercurrents

King Wu of Qin's chariot was surrounded by 1,500 Qin soldiers, and hurried out of the city of Zhou, outside the city of 50,000 Qin, and after joining the army, they rushed towards Yiyang, until twilight fell, and the army set up camp.

And at this moment in the Luoyang royal city, the king of Zhou and his courtiers are indeed a festive, the young son of heaven in the Qin people left the royal city in a hurry immediately set up a banquet, the king of Zhou Xun is to lead the royal family to worship Yongzhou Dading, that is, the head of the nine tripods Longwen Chiding.

"Kyushu artifact, the world's nine tripods, the Heavenly Evidence Zhou Room, the Mandate of Heaven returns to Zhou, and the God blesses the Zhou Room!" King Zhou led his ministers to kneel in front of Longwen Chiding and recited.

……

Twilight is approaching, the Qin army is camped along the Luoshui coast, the sky enters the night, the Qin army camp tent is brightly lit, the battle flag makes the sound of hunting and hunting in the dark, Wang Yiqin led a team to inspect the camp continuously, and the 50,000 Qin army has made all the preparations for the battle to meet the enemy.

At this moment, Gan Mao, who is also the general and the prime minister of Zuo, is in the king's tent and does not leave King Qin Wu an inch, after the bad news, Gan Mao is almost stunned, if it is not for the battle, he is not even sure that such a big event can calmly consider the overall situation.

"Report to the general, the general has an order, come to the king's tent quickly!" A personal guard of King Wu of Qin found the patrolling Wang Di, who rode his horse straight to the king's tent without saying a word.

At this moment, King Qin Wu's face was pale on the couch, and Gan Mao knelt aside from beginning to end, Wang Di felt a suffocating atmosphere as soon as he came to the king's tent, and he took the initiative to kneel beside Gan Mao without saying a word.

King Qin Wu opened his eyes leisurely, and Gan Mao and the others couldn't help but move a few times before: "Your Majesty! ”

At this moment, King Qin Wu knew that his fate was not long, but he was unusually calm, and he looked at Gan Mao with difficulty: "Sir, what the first king said is true, the courage of a widow is a horseman, it is difficult to bear the great cause of Qin, it is difficult to take charge of a country, and the widow has the ancestors of Qin, and the princes are brave and loyal......"

Gan Mao suddenly cried bitterly: "My king must not be like this, the minister is in the position of general and minister of state, but he can't correct the king's heart, and he failed to admonish my king, the crime deserves to die is the minister, even if he dies, he can't escape the blame......"

"Sir, that's a mistake." King Qin Wu shook his head with difficulty: "You can't die yet, the Qin country can't be chaotic, the widow knows that time is running out, Mr. must do his best to deal with the aftermath, the Qin country is not chaotic, and Mr. is a meritorious man!" ”

"My king has a will, and the ministers will be smeared with liver and brain, and death will not spin around!" Gan Mao couldn't help but pounce on the side of the couch and cried bitterly.

King Wu of Qin gasped with difficulty, but he also smiled, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Gan Mao: "This king has no children so far, Gan Mao, take Yingji back to Xianyang from Yan Kingdom and succeed to the throne!" ”

"The ministers obey the king's edict!" Gan Mao responded.

At this time, King Qin Wu looked at Wang Di: "General Wang, you quickly go to the Lantian camp to find my uncle Yan Jun, spread the widow's will, strictly abide by the widow's death, remember, the new king will not return, the secret will not mourn, wait for Yingji to return, let him hold my coffin...... The whole country mourns! ”

King Wu of Qin had already looked down on life and death at this point, and Wang Di bowed deeply to King Wu of Qin, but he couldn't say a word.

King Qin Wu's eyes gradually dimmed, and he muttered to himself: "Since the widow succeeded to the throne, he has pulled Yiyang, Tongsanchuan, Linerzhou, You Gongluo, and peeped at the artifact, and won the Central Plains.......

Gan Mao was shocked, and when he stepped forward, King Qin Wu had already lost his breath, and suddenly wept bitterly: "My king, ......"

King Qin, there was a cry in the king's tent.

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of the horn sounded loudly, and the Qin army pulled out of camp and calmly advanced at the dawn of grace, everything was so normal that no one could tell that the young king in the army had died.

Everything was going on in secret, Yan Junyu, who was guarding the Lantian camp, finally learned the bad news of the death of King Qin Wu, and when he just got the news, even if he was a famous general, Yan Junyu almost fainted with weak legs.

He strictly guarded the news of his death, abided by the orders of the previous king, and secretly informed Wei Ran, who was in Xianyang City, of the news.

The first king's widow established Gongzi Ji as the new monarch of Qin, and Yingji's mother Mi Bazi was Wei Ran's own sister, and telling Wei Ran the news was the key, in order to have a more reliable guarantee for the stability of Xianyang City, so that he could secretly prepare for the return of the new king.

Wei Ran, who learned the news, immediately sent a force of cronies to march towards the territory of Zhao.

At this moment, the Qin State is peaceful on the outside, but in fact, there is an undercurrent.

……

There is no impermeable wall under this sky, and after King Wu of Qin entered the city of King Zhou, the people of the world have been paying close attention to King Wu of Qin's movements.

And as the Qin army withdrew to Xianyang, the news of King Wu of Qin's serious injury spread from King Zhou to the four seas like crazy, and outsiders couldn't help but applaud when they learned the news, especially the princes of all countries, hoping that King Wu of Qin would be crowned.

However, the news that King Qin Wu had died was blocked by Gan Mao and Zhu Liji, who said that King Qin was sick and no one was seen.

Wei Zheng, who was in Chaoge, never stopped paying attention to Luoyang City, and Wei Guo's many eyes and ears in Zhou Wangcheng conveyed the latest news to Chaoge all the time, and this news was conveyed to Chaoge at the fastest speed.

Song of the court, the palace bedchamber.

The disheveled fox Yin was lying on the side of the bed with a lazy sleeping posture, and under the face of the prosperous age was a looming graceful figure, a sleeping beauty.

On the bed, Wei Zheng sat silently, looking at a letter with the help of a row of candlelight, his face couldn't help but burst into light under the candlelight, and the content on it was very brief: The weight of King Qin's victory, the serious injury of the crown, and the life and death are unknown.

Wei Zheng came to the case excitedly immediately, and a maid immediately brought a coat: "Your Majesty, don't catch a cold!" ”

"Hugh is noisy, go aside!" Wei Zheng worked hard in front of the case. After writing a secret letter, he exchanged it for the old chamberlain: "Send someone to hand over this letter to Su Dai quickly, remember, hand it over to him personally!" ”

"No!"

……

A few days later, Zhao Guo Handan.

Su Dai, who was in Handan City, paced back and forth in the room, holding Wei Zheng's handwritten secret letter in his hand, and after reading the contents, Su Dai put the brocade silk secret letter on the candle flame, and then burned it to ashes.

Su Dai looked up at the hanging beam and muttered: "Gong You Luoyi, you are the best...... The king of Qin wants to succeed his son Yingji, who is hostage in the Yan Kingdom, as the new king of the Qin State...... How did the king know this? ”

Su Dai, who was talking to himself, couldn't figure it out, the news of King Qin Wu's serious injury in Luoyi had been known to all countries, and Su Dai naturally knew the news in Handan, but Qin Guo did not mourn, no one was sure whether King Qin was dead or seriously injured, and all those who paid close attention to this matter were waiting for the truth to surface, whether King Qin Wu was dead or alive, the truth could not be concealed for long.

And Wei Zheng's news made Su Dai feel surprised: "Could it be that the king has planted important eyes and ears in the Qin State?" ”

Only with this explanation, Su Dai did not doubt Wei Zheng's handwritten secret letter, and remembered the instructions on the letterhead and woke up on the spot: "Come on, prepare a car to enter the palace to face the king!" ”

Handan, the royal palace.

"What did you say?" King Zhao Wuling was startled from the throne on the spot, and his eyes stared at Su Dai with dead eyes: "King Qin is unbeatable? Is what the gentleman said true? Where does the news come from? ”
