Chapter 105: Qin Funeral

"Tread, step, step. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Groups of black-armored soldiers patrolled back and forth on the streets of Xianyang, and although the sky had brightened, the originally lively Xianyang City seemed to be still sleeping. There was not a sound except for the sound of neat steps.

The more than 100 ministers who had been waiting outside King Qin's bedroom all night did not have a trace of tiredness at this time. Most of the more than 100 ministers have passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. However, King Qin died, and this was the most critical time for the transfer of power, and no one dared to relax. The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, and the same is true for the new monarch.

An Guojun Yingzhu has been the crown prince for fifty years, but his authority in the Qin State is not deep. In the first half of his life, there was Empress Dowager Xuan who controlled the government, and in the second half of his life, there was King Qin Zhao, and his prince can be said to be dispensable.

Therefore, everyone knows that if the new monarch wants to deepen his authority, he will definitely demote a group of people and promote a group of people. At this time, if you relax and offend the new monarch, isn't it asking for hardship?

"Lord Xiangguo......" Fan Ju was wearing mourning clothes, and suddenly a low voice came from behind him.

Fan Ju squinted his eyes and turned his head, it was Xiong Quan who was wearing Chu clothes.

"Quan Gongzi ......" Fan Ju bent down slightly and saluted Xiong Quan.

"King Wen Taowu is strategic, I can't imagine it. Hey, it's really unpredictable......" Xiong Quan looked at the closed door of the dormitory, looked sorry, and sighed.

Fan Ju closed his eyes and nodded slightly, as if he was recalling the past when he discussed political affairs with King Qin.

Seeing that Fan Ju was still loyal and martyr-like, Xiong Quan grinned slightly and said, "Lord Xiangguo, now the first king is here." You and me, the old ministers, may not be long before they have to go down and serve the first king. โ€

Fan Ju opened his eyes, and he didn't hear the ridicule in Xiong Quan's words. But Fan Ju chuckled and said, "It is the honor of our old ministers to serve the first king. This court, hehe, should also be given to those young people......"

"Oh? Is it? Xiong Quan's eyes narrowed slightly, this Fan Ju was mocking them that there was no successor to the Chu family.

However, it is true. Since the death of Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran, the Chu family has always been Xiong Quan's sole leader. Xiong An, the only one who was qualified to inherit Xiongquan's status and power, also fled back to China. This point naturally can't be hidden from those who have a heart.

"Squeak!" Just when Xiong Quan wanted to refute, the door of King Qin's bedroom, which had been closed for a night, was opened.

The ministers, who were originally slightly noisy, were suddenly silenced, and they all stood in batches according to the queue in the court.

"Ahem!"

Ying Zhu, who was wearing mourning clothes, slowly walked out of the gate of the dormitory with the support of Mrs. Huayang.

"Dang!"

The loud bell rang, and a pitch-black coffin, carried by sixteen wrestlers in tight black armor, slowly walked out of the dormitory.

"Dang!" The bell rang again.

"King!" Fan Ju, who was standing at the forefront, let out a sad cry, and then knelt down with a puff.

"King!" Immediately afterwards, all the remaining ministers also knelt down in an uproar, and many even began to cry.

Ying Zhu's face was expressionless, and his old hand gently supported the coffin, and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Today, although the sun is shining, it is already deep in winter, and the weather is still unusually cold. ใ€

"Ahem! Ahem! โ€

A biting cold wind blew, and Yingzhu coughed violently again. Mrs. Huayang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gently placed it on Ying Zhu's mouth.

Ying Zhu glanced at Mrs. Huayang with a little warmth and nodded slightly. Just as Mrs. Huayang was about to put away her veil, a bright red stung her eyes. The bright yellow handkerchief was stained with a little blood.

"Husband!" Mrs. Huayang's eyes widened, and her eyes were full of horror and worry.

Ying Zheng glanced at her lightly, and then continued to walk forward slowly.

"Dang!"

The coffin walked through the ranks of the ministers, and the bell rang for the third time. The ministers who knelt on the ground also stood up, followed the coffin, and slowly walked towards the outside of the palace.

"Dang!"

The fourth sound sounded, and the gates of the Qin Palace, which had been closed for a night, also opened one after another.

"Dang!"

Fifth Voice......

The Son of Heaven has nine rings, and now, although the Eastern Zhou Kingdom still exists, it has long been incomparable to even ordinary families. Gui is the most powerful monarch of the Qin State among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, and Yingji enjoys the treatment of the Son of Heaven.

"Dang!"

After the ninth sound, tens of thousands of black-armored warriors all over the street knelt down in unison, and the bells in the sky over the entire Xianyang echoed for a long time, and the aura of slaughter gathered but did not disperse.

"It's hard work...... Win Zhu slowly walked up to a veteran and said in a hoarse voice.

"Whoa!" The veteran's beard is gray, and although his eyes are cloudy, they are still bright. This person is Sima Jun, the younger brother of Sima Cuo, a famous general of the Qin State in the past, and the head of the old Qin family of the Qin State today.

Sima Jun took the talisman from Yingzhu's hand, stepped forward on his horse, and roared: "The soul is gone!" โ€

"Wow!" Thousands of black-armored warriors followed Sima Jun's order and turned in unison in the direction of the city gate. Then the sword was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and the battle posture was assumed, and slowly drove towards the outside of the city.

Yingji's mausoleum is arranged in the west of Yongcheng, the former capital of Qin, which is the burial place of the monarchs of the Qin State and the ancestral hall of the Qin State.

Long after the team of the "Your Highness ......" soul protector completely left Xianyang City, the winning pillar was still standing in place. Fan Ju, who was standing behind Yingzhu, couldn't help but remind softly.

According to the custom of the Qin state, when the old monarch died, the new monarch would ascend the throne three days later. And now, as the winning pillar of the crown prince, he can completely enter the palace of King Qin and act as the king of Qin.

"Go back to the palace!" Ying Zhu flicked his sleeves, and a sonorous sound came out of his throat.

"......" the ministers bent down and saluted, and they all responded in unison.

"Squeak! Chirping! Chirping! โ€

On the official road of the Qin State, a carriage was galloping under the escort of dozens of black-robed people.

"Childe, it will take another hour or two to reach Hangu Pass." Bai Qi rode his horse and said outside the window.

Ying Zheng closed a scroll of bamboo slips, which was the Qin State dossier that Hei Bingtai had compiled for him. All kinds of ciphertexts and the secrets of the major families are displayed on it one by one. There are many secrets, even Yingzheng in the previous life does not know.

"Uncle Shi, you said that you left a back hand in Hangu Pass?" Ying Zheng asked softly.

"Yes, Childe. However, now that the first king is newly mourned, according to the custom, Hangu Pass will be locked tightly to prevent the six eastern countries. Bai nodded at first, but then voiced his worries.

"Then Uncle Shi thinks who will be the one who was sent by the former king to keep the letter Guguan?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

Bai Qiqing frowned, thought for a moment, and said: "Now, in terms of Qin ****, there is no doubt that the kid of the Sima family is the worst. Secondly, it should be Wang Jian and Meng Fu. โ€

"The Sima family is the head of the old Qin line. With the wisdom of the previous king, I am afraid that he will not hand over such an important place as Hangu Pass to the old general Sima Jun. Otherwise, there will be another imbalance of power between the old Qin family and the Chu family, and An Guojun's position will be in danger. Ying Zheng said as he looked at the changing scenery outside the window.

"What the prince said is good, and the old minister also thinks that the one who guards the letter valley should be Meng Fu, or one of Wang Qian." Bai Qiqi nodded and analyzed: "However, the Wang family is also one of the old Qin family, I'm afraid that the first king may not necessarily send Wang Jian here." Moreover, even if Wang Jian guards the pass, as a member of the old Qin family, I am afraid that he will not be easily released. โ€

Ying Zheng was silent at first, and then said after a while: "What Uncle Shi said is not true. In my opinion, the person guarding the gate is Wang Qian. โ€

"Why does Childe think so?"

"Although Wang Jian is a member of the old Qin family, he rarely really gets together with the people of the old Qin family. Otherwise, with his ability and military merits, he would have been praised by the people of the old Qin family a long time ago. Why is it still only the same as Mengfu? โ€

"Wang Qian, who broke away from Xianyang, lost the control of the old Qin lineage, and was no different from the Wang Party, that is, the Caidong family. Moreover, although Hangu is important, it should be more important to Xianyang. โ€

Bai Qi nodded while listening, and waited until Yingzheng finished speaking, and then Bai Qi said with a smile: "Yes, Meng Qi is a well-known loyal minister. It should indeed be left in Xianyang, and the son is really high-minded. However, is Childe confident in convincing that Wang Qian? โ€

"Huh." In the car, Ying Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Is Uncle Shi testing me again?" โ€

"Hahaha!" Bai Qi listened to Yingzheng's words, and his melancholy mood was suddenly swept away, and he laughed and said: "Gongzi really won't let the old minister down!" โ€
