Chapter 327: Gentle Township
Concubine Qi rubbed the acupuncture points on her head for Ying Si, and Ying Si enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation, he unconsciously became sleepy and rested in a trance for an hour.
He didn't close his eyes all night, and in the gentle caress of his concubine, he closed his eyes beautifully.
Concubine Mi is trying her best to serve her husband, dare not have the slightest slack, the man in front of her is the support of her life, he is the monarch of the first powerful country today, calling for wind and rain, how many princes and monarchs and ministers are in front of this man.
With Ying Si's favor and pity, Concubine Mi has power and influence that people dare not easily ignore, whether it is in the native Chu State, or in the Qin State, or even in other vassal states. One of her edicts, or an unintentional small talk, is something that others pay close attention to.
What is power? It is often not the pomp and circumstance of the scenery, but the weight of a person's speech. No matter how much some people say, they can't arouse the interest and attention of others in the slightest, and some people talk meaninglessly, and they are also the object of serious consideration by others.
At this moment, Concubine Mi warmly offered the tenderness and sweetness of a woman who is familiar with the amorous feelings to Ying Si, and her actions also came from her heart, which was the love for her partner, and also wrapped in the yearning and longing for power.
Among the love between men and women, who can distinguish the taste of it in a few ways.
Under the service of Concubine Ai, Ying Si gradually got rid of his sleepiness, he was in a hurry, and it was inevitable that he would hold Concubine Mi's body in his arms, reach into his dress, and play with his heart.
Concubine Mi also knows the needs of the monarch at the moment, and she has always been meticulous in this way, so she took the initiative to cater to his rhythm and provoke his increasingly fierce thoughts.
Win Si has been delayed in state affairs for a long time, and has not been a beautiful woman for a while, and was disappointed again last night, and it is inevitable that he will be depressed in his heart.
Concubine Mi has half-open lips, hazy apricot eyes, knowledge of the body, and dedication to the king, it is inevitable that she will not be high or low in her body and her head, and she is strong in her strength. Such as glue and lacquer, such as sugar and honey, the soul is upside down, the heart is full of flowers, and its king is full of joy, refreshing, after a brave drive, the whole body is smooth and beautiful.
The eunuch who served in front of him had already left the main hall and gently closed the door of the palace when the two of them were in love. The spring breeze dissolves the scenery and blows away the softness. At this time, the immortal forgets the dust and solves all the sorrows.
Ying Si and Concubine Mi fell in love with each other for half a salary, and when they recovered from Yixing, they remembered the troubles in government affairs again, and couldn't help but sigh again.
How could Concubine Qi not know what he was sighing about, but she didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only comfort her side knock and say: "The husband is so depressed, the concubine is really worried about you, why not forget about political affairs for the time being, and enjoy half a day of leisure." ”
Ying Si said: "I want to relax, but tens of thousands of troops were lost under the city of Anyi, and the battle ahead is critical, how can I let it go." ”
As he spoke, his teeth gritted loudly, he scolded: "That arrogant Gongsun Yan did a lot of harm to widows and made a lot of achievements, but he was used by the cunning Su Qin and returned with a big defeat. The widow couldn't wait to slaughter that Su Qin with his own hands, and also brought Gongsun Yan a knife by the way. ”
Concubine Mi looked forward to the charming and dreamy show and looked at the sulky Ying Si, and she said faintly: "These generals are really not worry-free enough, they look at each other and fool the king." The war on the front line is tight, but there is a secret fight inside. It would be good when the king could find a loyal, talented, mature and stable general. ”
Concubine Mi talked about the discord between the generals, and the lack of experienced generals in the Qin State to lead the three armies, Ying Si felt nostalgic, and couldn't help but sigh three or four times in a row.
He didn't know in his heart that the Qin State was currently limited, and his military strength was thriving, but it was the shortage of a real handsome talent. Sima Cuo and his younger brother Yingjian actually have military talents, but they are too young and have insufficient military experience, so they really dare not hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to their command.
In desperation, he chose a Wei general Gongsun Yan, who was brave and strategic, and had been on the battlefield for a long time. Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but the opportunity was taken at a moment's notice, resulting in a fall in success and a loss of troops.
In the later years of his father Qin Xiaogong and his early years in power, there was still a Wei Wei who could be entrusted to the military, but now he can't find such a handsome talent who is worthy of a great task. Thinking of Wei Wei at this moment, Ying Si was bored, a little sad, and sad in his heart, and there were one or two tears rolling in his eyes.
Concubine Mi saw that her words annoyed her husband even more, so she didn't dare to say more about the military, so she found some other things to hear, and said that she listened to her husband.
Concubine Mi came to see her husband on purpose, of course, she cared for her first, but she also had a personal will, she was originally from Chu State, and she was extremely disgusted by the xenophobia of the natives of Qin State, and received a request from Gongsun Yan. So on the one hand, accompany your husband, and by the way, you also have to bring what you should say.
In just a few words, Gongsun Yan has been exonerated of many crimes, and has successfully transformed Gongsun Yan's personal responsibility into discord within the Qin army, which has attracted Ying Si's mind to another angle.
Concubine Mi's scheming and dexterity are probably as good as a woman can do. Even the smart and talented Princess Yingyi was not his opponent, and she suffered a lot and returned to the distant Yandi with hatred. It can be seen that she is resourceful and resourceful.
In the next few days, Ying Si was worried about the military at the front, and waited for the battle report from the front in fear, but after four or five days, everything was calm as usual, and the combined forces of Wei, Zhao and other countries did not launch a new offensive.
But his hanging heart could not be completely let go. At present, it is the late spring season, which is the critical season for farming, and the seventh and eighth armies are stranded on the front line and have not returned, and many farmers in the rear are waiting for the return of the recruits.
Just when he was in a state of uneasiness, on this day, he suddenly received a document from Sima Coo from the front. Sima Coo reported to Qin Jun about the battle on the front line, and he was very confident to hold on, but it was also an indisputable fact that the morale of the army was fluctuating, and the soldiers were looking forward to returning to farming as soon as possible.
Sima Co also attached a letter written by Chen Xu, the prime minister of Wei, to Qin Jun. Ying Si hurriedly read it, and when he finished reading it, he was furious, and in a moment of anger, he tore up the letter. Fortunately, it was a silk letter, if it was a simple book, I am afraid that it would have been torn to shreds by him.
He sat down on the seat angrily, panting heavily, his eyes fixed on Chen Xuzhixin, who had been left aside. Win Si is angry that Chen needs to dare to speak to himself in a tone that is almost questioning, and second, he hates Wei and Zhao's high conditions.
Ying Si thought: "If I want to return the land to you in the west of the river, which I have finally obtained, I think it is beautiful enough." ”
He thought about it for a long time, and decided to ignore the letter, and did not reply to reprimand, nor did he express his willingness to negotiate, so he simply turned a blind eye.
After another five or six days, there was still no battle report from the front of Anyi, and by this time Ying Si had already heard some people in the country complaining that the military action was reckless, which affected agricultural production. Officials from various localities wrote to them: "The people do not care about state affairs and talk nonsense, which is really hateful. ”
However, from these books, Ying Si heard the sound of the strings, that is, there are more and more complaints from the people. Of course, he knew that spring was not the time to use soldiers, and the hexagram of "Kun" in "Yi" was cloudless: "With a chapter, you can be chaste." Or from the king's affairs, there is no end"? It is clearly stated that it is not appropriate to use soldiers in late spring!
Ying Si was anxious, and immediately repaired an edict, and sent someone to send it to Xiayang City's Zhu Liji, so that he could hurry back to Xianyang to discuss the matter.
He received his brother's edict and did not dare to slack off, so he set off that night, galloped in a carriage overnight, and arrived at Xianyang City when the sky was hazy and shining, he had no time to rest, and ordered the coachman to drive the car directly to Xianyang Palace.
Outside the palace gate, he explained to the palace guards the urgency of this trip, how dare the guards provoke him, and kept turning his head to convey the message of the palace to the palace that he was asking to see the king.
The guards actually knew him, this person lived in Guanzhong, was a nobleman of the clan, and was famous for the place where he lived, and enjoyed the reputation of "think tank" among the Qin people. All the Qin people were eager to see his true face, and the guards on duty in the palace saw him enter the palace from time to time, and secretly recorded his appearance and showed it off to his friends.
At this moment, he explained with a serious attitude that he had an urgent military situation, and the guards naturally made it more convenient for him.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a middle-aged eunuch ran out of the palace in a hurry, and before he arrived at the palace, he began to shout: "The king has an order, please win the disease prince immediately to see him, the king is waiting in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and the carriage of the winning doctor drives directly into the palace to rest." ”
"It seems that my brother attaches great importance to this meeting, and he deliberately arranged the place of the meeting on the main hall. He was even more anxious.
After his carriage stopped at the Taifu Temple in the palace, he got out of the carriage and rushed to the main hall of Xianyang Palace without stopping.
The tree walked quickly in small steps. Due to the dust and dust all the way, coupled with the urgency of the mood, there was a slight sweat on his head.
Of course, he understood what his brother had summoned him. Don't think about it, it must be Anyi's military intelligence. At present, the agricultural affairs are tight, and the army has not returned from the expedition, and the key to this is almost known to everyone, not to mention his wisdom tank.
When he received the edict from the king, he had already begun to think about how to deal with it, and his brain was almost the same as the wheels of a running carriage along the way, and he never stopped. The various possibilities for the development of the situation, as well as the countermeasures that the Qin State should take, he thought deeply about everything he could think of.
When he arrived at the door of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, he chose a more ingenious and prudent strategy.
