Chapter 153: King Qin's Palace (Part II)
Liu Yan felt that today was really a coincidence, and everything was in a hurry, which was really big. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Idle at home on weekdays with nothing to do, when bored to find something to do. But today, one thing after another.
No, as soon as Liu Yan returned to the house, he was stopped by the guards at the door. glanced at the child in Liu Yan's arms and said, "The adult is back." Lord Taiwei arrived in the front hall early to wait, and there were five other stinky people who had been making trouble in front of the mansion before. I'm locked up in the firewood room now. ”
Liu Yan nodded and said, "I asked them to come here for those five people." ”
When the subordinate heard that it was Liu Yan who called, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Yo, don't you see if this is a misunderstanding?" Why don't I release a few of them now? ”
Liu Yan glanced down at Xiao Hui, who was already asleep, shook his head and said, "No, let them stay for a while." These people are too arrogant, if they don't torture them well, even if they follow me, they will definitely raise their tails to the sky. ”
The man nodded and said, "The little one went to see the tea!" ”
Liu Yan ignored this person and walked to the front hall with Xiao Hui in his arms. The yard is small, but it has a different flavor, doesn't it? Liu Yan went, and every time he came back from Xiangguofu, he sighed. This small courtyard has been dressed these days and Liu Yan has searched everywhere according to his own preferences, although it is not as magnificent as Xiangguofu. But it can be called unique.
Every time there is a general pulled by Liu Yan with a face, he can't help but praise it, saying that the scenery in this courtyard is beautiful. Especially the few cold plums outside the front hall are symmetrical. However, it is not yet the plum blossom season at this time, otherwise there must be another attraction in this garden.
The next one is the costume in the lobby, which does not look like the uniform costume of the rich and noble people of the Qin Dynasty. A little in the middle of the pond is four feet square, and there are a few red carp in it, which really sets off the scenery in the hall to the extreme. As everyone knows, Liu Yan turned Xianyang City upside down with the city patrol army in Xiaoyutang, but he didn't find a single star of raw materials that could make plastics.
The place where Xianyang is located is full of loess, and the water must have dispersed in an instant. If you add water from time to time, I'm afraid that in a few days, even the front hall will be demolished. In the end, there was really no way, Liu Yan cheekily let a bricklayer get rid of the green bricks for a week. I went back and forth four or five floors of this pool before I stopped.
The bricklayer said that the brick was blistered in water, and I was afraid that it would not take a few years, Liu Yan smiled slightly. He had already thought about it, and when he got tired of seeing the fish pond, he would put a flower tree in it.
Of course, visitors can only see these views. As for the backyard or something, most of them know how to be polite, and Liu Yan doesn't want to watch it no matter how much he invites him. It is said that he can see this scene in the house, and Xianyang City is also the Liu family, and he is satisfied for a while.
Most of it was nonsense, and Liu Yan didn't bother to reply. But the lockdown has never said anything, and he has the same straight face for people and things. He felt that the place where Liu Yan lived was still a little too simple, and even if there was any beautiful scenery in the courtyard, it was just flashy.
"Father-in-law, why are you here?"
Feng Cheng wanted to cut directly to the topic, but when he saw Liu Yan holding a child in his arms, he first jokingly asked, "Whose child is this?" ”
Liu Yan smiled and said: "I went to Xiangguo's Mansion at noon, and on the way back, I saw a few people with this child. The poor child's family is in East County, but the riot ruined his family. I took pity on it and brought it back. ”
Feng Cheng frowned and said, "It seems that this Dongjun riot is not small." ”
Liu Yan nodded and said, "Listening to those few brushers, the situation must be more serious than you know." It's just that this East County has been established for several years. has been safe and sound, but how did it suddenly become like this for a few years? ”
Feng Cheng took the tea handed by his subordinates, put it to the side and said, "Before, Lord Xiangguo was always in charge of Dongjun. Lord Xiangguo thinks that Dongjun is a new county, and it is important to obey people's hearts. Although those original Wei people complained in their hearts, I, Daqin, were indeed not kind to them, so most of them settled down. However, this year, the king was in charge, and he heard that there was a shortage of conscripts in the eastern county, and there was also a shortage of grain and taxes. Therefore, he was furious and urged to deal with it quickly.
In this way, the forced expropriation of the Dongjun army caused a lot of unpleasantness. Now it is very idle again, and every family has left a little surplus food for the winter, if it is handed over, I am afraid that the whole family will starve to death. ”
Liu Yan knew in his heart what kind of person Qin Shi Huang was, and if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be like him. Liu Yan said: "Why no one in the central government has talked about this, now is the time when Great Qin is prosperous." The bigger the trouble, the more detrimental it will be to Daqin. ”
Feng Cheng sighed, slowly drank a cup of tea, and then let out a sullen breath and said, "Let's not talk about this matter first." It's how many people the Queen Mother was expelled to dissuade her that day, but she died one stubble after another. Now that the king is angry, the one who can live until now is not aware of current affairs? Moreover, several old ministers have recently been sent by the king to monitor various fields. What to say about the remaining blank paper, that's self-defeating, isn't it? ”
The closure of the city is reasonable, Liu Yan nodded. But at this time, he already had an idea in his heart, what King Qin wanted, I am afraid that only Liu Yan knows best in the Seven Kingdoms now. As the saying goes, if there is desire, there will be flaws, and Liu Yan wants to make a fuss about it.
Feng Cheng suddenly slapped his head and said: "I almost forgot about the big thing, today I got a military report that it was Dongjun that had spread to the Inner Qin area." The number of rioters is increasing. I really didn't dare to hide it, and after reporting the truth, the king decided to let the court go to the court tomorrow, and it is estimated that the day after tomorrow will send troops. ”
Liu Yan frowned and said, "So early? I'm afraid that the king will definitely send a prison army. ”
Feng Cheng nodded and said, "Inevitably, everyone has to send a prison guard." But for you, if the king has no intention of making trouble, he should just be doing it casually. After all, I'm staying in Xianyang City, and the feudal territory is also by your side. ”
Liu Yan then remembered Feng Jiang's stubble, and said a little slowly: "How is Feng Jiang's health now?" I'm afraid he won't be able to stand the fatigue of the pommel horse when he recovers from a serious illness. ”
Feng Cheng shook his head proudly and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that his left hand is more comfortable than his right hand, right?" ”
Liu Yan was shocked and said, "What? Isn't that right? It's been almost dead several times, and he doesn't even use his left hand. ”
Feng Cheng reluctantly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up with his hands behind his back, walked to the middle of the lobby, stood next to the fish pond, looked at the fish playing in the warm water, and said, "It's my fault for this." There are not many people out of a thousand who are left-handed. In addition, when I was a child, I abandoned him and his mother to fight alone in the court. He was humiliated at every turn, especially the habit of his left hand, which made it difficult for him to get out of the haze. Since then, he has been practicing his right hand, and he has valued his dignity more than his life. may also be afraid that you will say that even if he dies, he will not want to show his differences. ”
Liu Yan also shook his head and said, "It seems that this humiliation has completely destroyed his soul for him." However, this time it was a good opportunity for him to regain his confidence. If he can't leave, I'm afraid he will suffer a big loss. ”
Feng Cheng smiled and said, "So I'm going to ask you." ”
Liu Yan hurriedly stood up and said, "Why should my father-in-law be like this, this is also Liu Yan's business." ”
Feng Jiang said: "Okay, then you can prepare well." Also, don't wear this armor tomorrow. This set of armor is in the palace of Lord Xiangguo, and the king knows about it. ”
After saying that the city was closed, he walked outside, and Liu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to send the city out of the house. After watching the lockdown of the city, the carriage gradually disappeared on the street corner, and Liu Yan turned around and went back to the house. The guards closed the door when they saw Liu Yan coming in.
The main reason is that today's masters, who don't return in less than midnight on weekdays, have come back early today. The little master Gemo is even more strange, his smiling face is extremely serious, and he is even in the mood to tease his subordinates on weekdays.
Of course, Liu Yan didn't know, so he went to the inner courtyard with Xiaohui in his arms. As soon as he passed the front hall and reached the open space in front of the backyard, several figures surrounded him.
Liu Yan took a look, isn't this the prodigal trio and Shan Miao, but today it is surprisingly coincidental. What made Liu Yan feel even more strange was that Yin Jiang was also in the team, leaning on Shan Miao's huge body and looking at himself with his head tilted and not knowing what was going on.
Liu Yan was happy, the corners of his mouth raised, and he hugged the little back in his arms and said, "What's wrong today?" Is there something wrong? Tell you, wipe your ass by yourself, I'm not available. ”
Everyone glared at Liu Yan, but their attention was quickly attracted by the child reported in Liu Yan's arms. Gemo is interested in children, and he is very happy to see the child's thin body with a big head. I didn't dislike the dirty smell of this child, so I hugged it in my arms and asked excitedly: "When will my father have a child outside!" ”
Liu Yan had a black line on the door of his head, and slapped the back of Gemo's head and said, "Stinky boy, what do you think?" ”
Yin Jiang didn't like to join in the fun, he watched Liu Yan alone, ignored everyone, and woke up from his sleep with the child who was bullying Xiaohui. The two big eyes stared at the unfamiliar faces, obviously a little scared. When Shan Miao's slap in the face rushed over with a smile, the child immediately burst into tears.
As soon as the child cried, Yin Jiang was a little upset, and stepped forward to cut directly to the topic: "I heard that you are going to be recruited into the palace for a visit?" ”
Liu Yan glanced at a few guys who were in a hurry, and reluctantly held the child in his arms before Xiaohui slowly calmed down. Zhen Yubo also came up and said, "Yes, have you thought about it?" What to do? I have heard that the king has summoned several high-ranking officials into the palace and cut off their heads. ”
Liu Yan shook his head and said, "What do you think?" Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you don't know if you go through it. Besides, it's me with the head, and it's not you, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”
Yin Jiang sneered for a while and said, "Yes, you don't want to be my business if you lose your head." But I'm afraid that you will chill the hearts of more than 10,000 brothers outside Xianyang City. ”
I don't know what kind of ecstasy Shan Miao was poured into by these people, and her blood was boiling at this time. He slammed on the floor and said, "Hmph, whatever." If King Qin dares to cut off your head, Lao Tzu will definitely cut off his head with an axe! ”
This sentence shocked everyone for a while, and they hurriedly looked around to see that there was no one. Otherwise, innocent lives will be paid for Shan Miao's words.
Liu Yan didn't say a word, and directly stepped forward and slapped Shan Miao's stomach fiercely. I only heard a loud "pop", Shan Miao looked down at Liu Yan and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Liu Yan punched Shan Miao's chest again and said, "Damn, forget that you have thick skin!" Say less of this in the future, or everyone will be killed by you. ”
Although Shan Miao didn't understand what she said wrong, she saw that Liu Yan was already angry. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Got it." ”
Yin Jiang said: "There is no way to do it now, and the only hope now depends on whether Liu Yan's mouth can save himself." ”
Liu Yan snorted coldly, hugged Xiaohui and left directly. Leaving a few people with big eyes and small eyes, Yin Jiang sighed and said, "Forget it, looking at his appearance, he must have already taken a countermeasure." Okay, if it goes well, it's going to be very open. I went back and called my brothers to prepare early. ”
Zhen Yubo stopped Yin Jiang and said: "It's going to be dark this day, how can you go back alone." Rest for the night tonight, and then leave tomorrow. ”
Yin Jiang squinted at Zhen Yubo and said, "Boy, I've been sweating a lot these days." Don't break your body for a momentary coolness, you won't be able to press it when you lose your head on the battlefield. ”
After that, Yin Jiang left without looking back. The angry Zhen Yubo stomped his feet for a while, scolding in his mouth. Fortunately, Geng Idiot prepared a few pots of good wine at home a few days ago. The smiling and smiling peacemaker always pulled the remaining few people back to talk and laugh, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the smile on their faces could not hide the worry in their hearts.
"Yo, whose child is this?"
Liu Yan just walked through the backyard, and was about to enter his courtyard but was stopped by Liyuan. It just so happened that this girl had nothing to do all day, but now she is busy.
"Here, this brother will be taken care of by you in the future!"
Saying that, Liu Yan put Xiao Hui down and pushed it to Li Yuan, Li Yuan smiled and beckoned to Xiao Hui: "Come on, come on, come to my sister." My sister gives you candy to eat. As he spoke, Li Yuan took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and there were several strings of sugar people lying in it.
"Didn't you say it's gone?"
"Humph!" Li Yuan ignored Liu Yan, and frowned when he saw Xiao Hui, who was tempted by sugar, slowly walked over and said, "Stinky, go, take a bath with my sister." ”
Xiao Hui glanced at Liu Yan and saw that Liu Yan nodded, so he followed Liyuan with small steps. Liu Yan touched his stomach, shook his head, and hurriedly walked towards the demolition house.
Xianyang City, above the city wall of the palace gate of the Qin Palace.
King Qin climbed the city wall alone and looked at the once prosperous Xianyang City. I don't know what he's thinking, maybe he's wondering where this Liu Yan came from. If it had been ten days ago, he would have beheaded this guy without even blinking an eye. Because this guy named Liu Yan always reminds King Qin of Chang Yu.
But early this morning, the shadow guard put all the known information of Liu Yan in front of King Qin, and King Qin was completely dumbfounded. Liu Yan was first recorded in prison when he was King Qin Xiaowen, and he should have been sent to southern Xinjiang to serve as a laborer. But inexplicably it appeared in the Fengfu.
Moreover, a strict lockdown accepted this person as a righteous son, and then there was no news when he arrived in Shuzhong. Later, he went to Xianyang, and he went straight to his current position. The military power in his hands is also getting heavier and heavier.
Therefore, King Qin felt very strange why a mysterious person who suddenly appeared made everyone with a strong sense of principle give up their principles. King Qin couldn't figure everything out, and the only thing Liu Yan confirmed was not simple. Now I'm afraid that killing him will be very bad for myself.
In his melancholy, King Qin heard a sound of footsteps, and said without looking back: "Coming?" ”
The person who came was Li Si, and after bowing to the king of Qin, he said: "The king summoned him, and the minister didn't dare to delay and hurried here." ”
King Qin nodded, and at this time, two eunuchs slowly walked up carrying the chessboard. He was followed by several eunuchs who hurriedly walked up with futons.
When everything was ready, King Qin sat down and said, "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
Li Si nodded and said, "Confucianism loves this kind of elegant thing. But the minister has no intention of being here, so he is very refined. ”
King Qin nodded and said, "Then you accompany the widow in the next game." ”
Li Si wanted to sit down, but frowned and said, "The wind is fierce here, and the ministers are afraid that the king will suffer from the wind and cold." ”
King Qin pointed to the futon on the opposite side and said, "Don't get in the way, come on." This game is outnumbered first. ”
Li Si sat down slowly, seeing that King Qin had already picked up the white flag and placed it on the black dot on the chessboard. Somewhat strange, Lis took a black piece and placed it on another black dot in the opposite corner.
King Qin didn't speak, just casually waved the white flag. Seeing that he fell very quickly, he should have played this chess game many times. At first, Li Si only saw the moves, but after the chess pieces covered most of the chessboard, his sunspots were almost eaten. Li Si shook his head, this game looks mild but hides murderous intentions.
A sunspot was caught in Li Si's fingers and didn't get down for a long time, and King Qin suddenly spoke: "Do you think this sunspot is dead or alive?" ”
Li Si left the sunspot down and said: "This game has been deceived by the illusion of the white son's opening, and now the only thing the sunspot can do is to abandon the child in order to survive." ”
King Qin smiled, surrounded the sunspot that Li Si had just gotten off, took out the sunspot and said, "What you said is good. By the way, have you heard of Liu Yan? ”
Li Si looked at the chessboard and shook his head, put a lonely son in the far corner and said: "I have seen it, it was the minister who had a relationship with him during the rebellion of Chang Yu that day. This son speaks appropriately, but his personality is a little too arrogant. ”
King Qin glanced at the solitary son and felt that it was a little interesting, and quickly dropped the chess piece and said: "Tomorrow, the widow will summon him into the palace, and you can communicate with him more after retiring from the court." It's just ..... what are you solitary son? ”
Li Si nodded, sandwiched a black piece between the two squares of the solitary son and dropped the chess piece and said: "It's rare that the king is so interested in this person, and the minister must test it." This lonely son, anyway, Your Majesty's overall situation has been decided, and it is better for the minister to give up the dead son and fight to the death than to be surrounded by him. ”
King Qin glanced at Li Si with appreciation, but what Li Si didn't expect was that after King Qin's son settled, the white flags on the entire chessboard were connected into a white dragon, and no matter how Li Si struggled, it would probably be difficult to turn the tables. But Li Si didn't plan to give up, and Ichikuko fell behind Bai Ziwei.
King Qin nodded and said, "The widow was forced by the middle father that day, and at this time, he had already given up early. This game was made by the middle father and the widow three years ago. It took a year for this game to come up with a way to crack it. ”
Li Si was completely familiar with it and said: "The minister lost, how to crack it?" ”
King Qin said: "Kill and decide!" ”
