While he was cursing in Qishan, he saw the girl turn back from a distance, followed by an old guard. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Qishan Xuanyu wanted to dodge a little too late, Qishan Xuanqi simply strangled the reins and leaned on the side of the road, wanting to carefully look at the beauty in front of him.

The vast grassland, the fertile water and grass, make the cattle and sheep on the grassland grow fat and healthy, as the saying goes, one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, the vast grassland, the towering blue sky, less red tape in the Central Plains, completely in a free and easy environment, wanton crazy growth.

The heart of the grassland people, as broad as the grassland, the behavior of the grassland people, also like the cattle and horses on the grassland, do it casually, and do not care about the eyes of the world, Qishan is the first time to see such a beautiful woman, young and beautiful, excellent posture, more importantly, between the eyebrows, the wind moves and conveys feelings, so that people see it, all of them are excited, difficult to hold themselves.

When Qu Ling and the others came closer, this Qishan was even more excited, and couldn't help blurting out:

"What a beautiful girl!"

Qu Ling saw that the young man on the side of the road was young and handsome, and he was not as secretive as the scholars in the Central Plains, and he felt uncomfortable! just politely smiled at Qishan, didn't take it to heart, and continued to urge the horse forward. The samurai behind him is a veteran of the rivers and lakes for a long time, as soon as this Qishan skull opened his mouth, Ah Da felt that it was unusual, and then looking at his appearance, it could be concluded that it must be Rong Di's person. Thinking of this, the hand leading the horse, one Ke slowly approached the waist, ready at any time, and pulled out the Wu hook on the waist.

Qishan is tall, coupled with the tall and slender body of this sweaty horse, he naturally has a full view of the changes in front of him. Seeing that the warrior had already prepared, he said that he did not have any intention of preempting, although he was a prince, but it was on the grassland, and this was Xianyang, the capital of Qin, and it was under the jurisdiction of Qin Law.

The matter of robbing the population at will will be punished with death! Qishan still has this awareness.

Seeing that Qu Ling only smiled slightly, the warrior behind him was already prepared. Just stay where you are and don't do anything else. When the two of them were far away, he flew straight to the warehouse.

"Childe! The man who was just now, but the Rong people? Ah Da asked.

"Hey! Who do you care where he is, what does it have to do with us? That's a good idea! After saying that, Qu Ling was beautiful and stroked one of his hair with his hand.

"I said, Childe, don't you think it's strange?" Ah Da continued to remind Qu Lingdao.

"What's so strange?" Qu Ling asked puzzled.

"Don't you think it's strange that this guy has been following us since we left the city?" Ah Da is worthy of being an old man, and this level of anti-tracking is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Who are you, this guy has been following us!" Qu Ling's face changed suddenly, and then he said:

"Let's go! Go get that guy back! After saying that, he turned the horse's head and chased after him.

"Childe! No, never, this friend or foe is unknown, don't act without permission! So as not to startle the snake. Ah Da stopped Qu Lingdao.

"What then?" Qu Ling asked anxiously.

"Let's hurry back to the city, there have been too many things in the past two days, let's discuss this matter carefully after meeting Childe!" Ah Da suggested seriously.

"Hey! I think that's all there is to it! Qu Ling hit the reins in his hand on the horse and said helplessly.

The two also went straight to Xianyang City.

When he returned to the warehouse, he saw Xiang Shou and Feng Xi riding out on horseback, and met the two of them unexpectedly at the door! Xiang Shou and Feng Xi both had important things in their hearts, and naturally they didn't notice the changes around them. But this Qishan is different, this prince of the grassland, since he was a child, has been fighting with wolves, and after many years, this ability to perceive things has long been extraordinary.

Although the clothes of the two are not very gorgeous and noble, as the saying goes, 'there is poetry and books in the belly', at a glance, these two are not ordinary people. The horses were extremely fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After Qishan entered the warehouse, as soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke the words of the Rong people, and when he was about to give orders, the owner of the warehouse shouted:

"Tea in Childe's house!" Only then did Qishan find that in this warehouse, there were not only his own people, but also many unfamiliar faces, and he suddenly became alert, and entered the room under the guidance of the owner of the warehouse. When I entered the house, the owner of the warehouse came out and beckoned the guys to wait at the door, and if there was anything to report in time, the guys naturally stood at the door and waited for the dispatch.

In the house, the innkeeper fell to his knees and muttered:

"The great god of the mountains, your servant has given you peace! May your benevolence feed the living beings of the four directions. ”

"Why did you stop me?" Qishan said with an angry face.

"Young master, this is the market of Xianyang, and in the market, there are eyes of the Qin people, and if you are not careful, your identity will be exposed!" The innkeeper said as he fell to his knees.

"They can understand our words, too?" Qishan asked curiously.

"Don't talk about us, Yan Qi who is far away in the sky, Han Wei Bashu who is close at hand! These people know it all! This Qin law is the implementation of the law of joint sitting, if you know and do not report, this sin is the same, the same! The innkeeper knelt on the ground and kept talking.

"Alright! Get up, I'm wrong to blame you, when I came in just now, the two people I met, do you know the origin? What is the background? Qishan asked further, and while speaking, he picked up the tea on the table, and was busy all morning, and now he was really a little thirsty.

On the surface, this storehouse was just a place for these Rongdi people to sell their leather and horses. In fact, this is not the base camp of the Yiqu people in the Qin State, and the reason why Yiqu, as a civilization outside the Central Plains civilization, has been able to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains for hundreds of years, without this source of information, it is not possible. Besides, this war horse was originally a high-mobility weapon that all countries were vying to buy, and no matter how generous the Yiqu people were, they had to come and see if the price of this country was not. Besides, most of the people who can buy horses are high-ranking officials and eunuchs, and it should not be difficult to find out the news from the mouths of these people. Seeing that the young master asked himself, the innkeeper hurriedly told him what he knew.

"The one who is slightly chubby is Prime Minister Zhang Yi's doorman Feng Xi, and the other is Gongzi Yingji's Fa Xiao Xiangshou." The innkeeper reported.

"That's all?" Qishan asked.

"Of course, it's not just that, this Feng Xi is Zhang Yi's disciple on the surface, but in private he has a huge energy, and those Wei people who are officials in the Qin State are all contacted through Feng Xi!" Before the innkeeper could finish speaking, Qishan interjected:

"According to what you say, this person is also the contact person of the entire Wei State's power and ministers."

"Not bad! The young master is wise. The innkeeper did not forget to tout it.

"What's going on with that?" Qishan continued to ask.

"A few years ago, when the first king was alive, it was spread in this dynasty that after a hundred years, King Qin would pass the throne to Gongzi Yingji. On the surface of Gongzi Yingji, although he has been pushed many times, everyone in the world knows that it is just for show.

Some things are naturally inconvenient for Gongzi Yingji to go out in person. This Xiang Shou helped to go back and forth. The innkeeper reported like a treasure.

"How do you know that?" Qishan asked curiously.

"Hey! Over the years, this Xiang Shou has often come to our store! It's not familiar with this back and forth, although he doesn't say that we still know some things! The innkeeper continued.

Qishan didn't know what to do, and continued to ask:

"What is he doing in our store?"

"Buy a horse! A first-class horse in the water, almost not at all, it is thousands of gold at every turn! The innkeeper affirmed.

"Buying a horse?" Qishan still can't figure out the mystery of it. Don't look at the Qishan battlefield, thousands of people are difficult to beat, but they are still a little at a loss about the unspoken rules of these officialdoms. Seeing that the young master was at a loss, the innkeeper said:

"Young master, there are more rules in this Central Plains, no better than on our grassland. These people are all insidious, on the surface, they support you, maybe they will give you a knife behind the back, so there are some things that can't be done on the surface! ”

"You mean, they bought horses and gave them away!" Qishan seemed to understand the deep meaning.

"If that's the case, how can there be so many horses in the stable, after the horses sold to Shoulai, most of them will invite some dignitaries and eunuchs to go out hunting together, and in the process of hunting, there will be problems with people's horses, either they can't run fast, or their strength is not good. At this time, Xiang Shou will most likely give his horse to the other party.

When the other party saw that Xiang Shou's horses were so valuable, he naturally understood the deep meaning of this. However, riding such horses in Xianyang City is somewhat ostentatious, and these officials have designated that they will send these horses back here, so that our horses can continue to be sold at a high price, and the warehouse will have to continue to take back the horses at a high price!

However, these people don't care about the small profits, and most of them will leave a profit of 100 taels to the warehouse! These people took the money and left. ”

Qishan was confused and asked:

"Why all the trouble? It would be nice to send the money directly! ”

"The young master doesn't know, the rules of the dynasty in the Central Plains are no less than the rules on our grassland! This Qin law is strict and does not allow courtiers to accept bribes from each other, if it is known by the Imperial Governor's Mansion, there is a danger of losing their heads! The innkeeper explained.

"I see? Then they are not taking bribes when they do this! Qishan asked curiously.

"Young master, you don't know this, Xiang Shou just lent his horse to another person, and the other person sold the horse to the store. The warehouse gave the money to this person, and it has nothing to do with Xiang Shou! Even if the Tingwei Mansion finds out our warehouse, it is helpless! There is no evidence that Xiang Shou was bribing them.

Since Xiang Shou's bribes have not been recognized, how can he contact Gongzi Yingji! The owner of the warehouse explained the core part of it step by step.

"Wonderful! It's wonderful! These Central Plains people are really deceitful and changeable! Although Qishan didn't agree with this, he saw the ingenuity of others. On the flexible side, I also have to admire the ingenuity of others.

"According to what you say, isn't this son Yingji buying a lot of officials and working hard for himself." Qishan asked further.

"Isn't it, these years, don't look at Gongzi Yingji being arranged to be a hostage in Yan Kingdom, but this Xiang Shou has not been idle for a moment, contacting these dignitaries in the court all day long." The innkeeper continued.

"What do they want to do?" Qishan asked.

"What else can I do, I don't hope that Gongzi Yingji can return to China to govern." The innkeeper said.

"This Central Plains people still have this custom?" Qishan said curiously.

"Young master, has you forgotten King Li!" After speaking, the owner of the warehouse looked at Qishan Zhuo, Qishan Zhuo was also at a loss, the owner of the warehouse has been in the Central Plains for many years, and he has some understanding of the canonical stories in the Central Plains. Seeing that the young master was puzzled, he opened his mouth and said:

After the death of King Zhou Yi, his son Zhou Li Wang Jihu succeeded to the throne. At that time, there was not much money in the court! In order to change this embarrassing status quo, King Zhou Li appointed Rong Yigong as a secretary and implemented a "patent" policy! ”

"What is Patent Policy?" Qishan asked.

"It is to change the mountains, forests, lakes and rivers to the direct control of the Son of Heaven, and not allow the people of the country to enter to make a living." The innkeeper explained.

"If you don't let the people make a living, the people will have no complaints? No mutiny? Qishan said.

"Of course there is! The people of Zhou Capital Hojing were dissatisfied with King Zhou Li's policies and complained. The minister summoned Mu Gong to admonish and said, "The people are unbearable! (People can't stand it anymore and are talking about it)"

"Zhao Mu Gong is indeed a sage? Did King Zhou Li listen to Mu Gong's advice? Qishan asked.

"King Zhou Li also ordered Wei Wu to slander, forbidding the people to talk about state affairs, and violators were killed." The innkeeper continued:

"Under the high-pressure policy of King Zhou Li, the people of the country did not dare to discuss the government in public. When people meet acquaintances on the road, they don't dare to talk and say hello, they only use their eyes to gesture, and then walk away in a hurry. King Zhou Li was very proud when he learned about it. He said to Zhao Mugong: "I have the ability to stop people's criticism, and they will no longer dare to talk about it!" ”

Zhao Mu Gong advised King Zhou Li: "This is a coercive means to block the mouths of the people!" Plugging people's mouths like blocking a river is like blocking a river. Once the river bursts, it will cause a catastrophe; People's mouths are gagged, and the harm is far greater than that of the river! To control the water, we must adopt the method of channeling, and to govern the people, we must let the people of the world speak their minds freely. King Zhou Li turned a deaf ear to this.

In 841 B.C., dissatisfied with the tyranny of King Zhou Li, the "countrymen" of Haojing gathered, armed with sticks and farm tools, and besieged the palace to kill King Zhou Li. King Li of Zhou ordered the transfer of troops. His Majesty replied: "Our Zhou Dynasty has soldiers for the countrymen, and the countrymen are soldiers, and the soldiers are the countrymen. The people of the country have rioted, who else can be mobilized? King Li of Zhou led his cronies to flee from Hojing and along the banks of the Weishui River to Yi (present-day Huozhou, Shanxi Province), where he died of illness in 828 BC (the 14th year of the Zhou Dynasty).

The countrymen attacked the palace and did not find King Zhou Li, so they turned to look for the crown prince Ji Jing. Zhao Mu Gong hid Ji Jing, and the people surrounded Zhao Mu Gong's house, and wanted to call Mu Gong out of the prince, and Zhao Mu Gong "is the crown prince with his son", and the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" recorded: "(The countrymen) called Mu Gong's son to kill him."

Under the persuasion of the ministers Zhou Dinggong and Zhao Mugong, the people calmed down some of their resentment and left one after another. At this time, there was no owner of Zong Zhou, and the Duke of Zhou and the Duke of Zhao temporarily acted as political agents according to the recommendation of the nobles, and important government affairs were discussed by the six secretaries. Historically, it is known as "Zhou Zhao Republic" or "Republic Administration". ”

By the time the innkeeper finished speaking, the Qishan Lady had already fallen into deep thought, and said:

"Sure enough, there is a precedent! It seems that these people want to do it again! I just don't know if this martial king is the king of power? ”

For the planning of the Bashu people, Qishan has always had prejudices so far! (To be continued.) )
