Chapter 5: The Princess's Suffering
(P.S new book upload, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, thank you)
If you ask how Zhao Gao died, I believe many people know that Gongziying designed to get rid of it, but how to do it, most people may not be able to say clearly.
In the process of getting rid of Zhao Gao, Gongziying's personal eunuch Han Tan is undoubtedly an important figure. Of course, the "eunuchs" in the Qin Dynasty did not necessarily refer to those with physical defects, but more to the emperor's close ministers, and Han Tan was undoubtedly such a person.
At the beginning, Zhao Gao killed Qin II, put Gongziying on the throne, and was eager to let him sue the temple to ascend the throne. Gongziying knew that Zhao Gao was not bad, so he pretended to be sick. Zhao Gao was angry and came to the palace alone to urge Gongzi Ying, Han Tan and Gongzi Ying and the two sons of Gongzi Ying were lying in the dark and suddenly attacked, Han Tan rushed out first, raised the knife in his hand, and slashed Zhao Gao to the ground, the two sons followed from the back, raised their blades together, and stabbed several times, Zhao Gao was killed immediately.
In the summer and October of that year, Liu Bangjun arrived under the hegemony and approached Xianyang, Gongzi Ying could not fight, could not defend, and had to surrender to the city, so far the Qin Dynasty perished, and Gongzi Ying reigned for a total of 46 days.
After the Hongmen banquet, Xiang Yu entered Xianyang from Hongmen, slaughtered the residents, killed the prince of Qin, and Han Tan also disappeared from that time, what Zhang Han didn't expect was that he suddenly appeared in his house today.
"You said you were a senior of Han Tan, I don't know what evidence you have?" Zhang Han was very suspicious of him.
The old man in the Chinese costume seemed to have thought of Zhang Han's reaction a long time ago, he slowly took out a folded yellow silk silk from his sleeve, stood up and handed it to Zhang Han.
Zhang Han didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took it with both hands and opened it, only to see that it was full of small characters inscribed by Zhu Pen, and he also made up for the small seal during this time, so he could barely understand it. The whole text is full of Zhao Gao's crimes, and Han Tan was appointed to arrest Zhao Gao's family, and the corner of the holy decree is also covered with a shocking jade red seal.
Zhang Han slowly closed the holy decree and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, being able to take out this thing is enough to prove Han Tan's identity. He didn't have to suspect that this was Xiang Yu trying to test himself, if Xiang Yu knew about Han Tan's existence, I'm afraid he would have been executed a long time ago.
"It turned out to be Han Tan's predecessor who killed the Zhao thief, this king has been admired for a long time, but I don't know what the predecessor is doing in this king's mansion today?"
Knowing Han Tan's identity, Zhang Han's tone was also a lot more respectful, not to mention anything else, this person killed the traitor Zhao Gao and gave a bad breath to the people of the world, which is enough to make himself awe-inspired.
can be respectful, although he respects Han Tan's loyalty and bravery, but now he doesn't know his intention, and he doesn't dare to say anything. Han Tan was an official of the previous dynasty, so in order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Han only called him a senior, not an adult.
Seeing the respectful look on Zhang Han's face, Han Tan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said gloomily: "The old man has the courage of a horseman, what kind of hero can he be called, but it is King Yong's conquest of the world and the suppression of chaos can be called a hero for a while." Alas, if King Yong had chosen to continue to be loyal to Daqin, Gongzi Ying would not have ended up like this. ”
Zhang Han was unmoved, but said coldly: "Although Gongzi Ying is not at fault, but the Great Qin Qi is exhausted, and it can be reversed by the power of one person, and Han Tan's predecessors do not need to overestimate this king, this is the time, fate, and luck." ”
Speaking of Gongzi Baby, Han Tan's eyes couldn't help but moisten, he suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "The old man has served and lived since Gongzi was a young man, and he has never been separated for decades. ”
Seeing the white-haired old man kneeling on the ground, Zhang Han's heart was touched fiercely, but he still stood aside coldly. After all, he also knew that it would never be a trivial matter to make Han Tan kneel down and beg for himself, and he would have to bury his political career in it, so he was in a dilemma for a while.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Han still spoke: "Han Tan senior, you, get up first." Say what you ask, if this king can do it, he will do it with all his might, if this king can't do it, then he can only love and can't help. ”
Only then did Han Tan raise his old face, take a deep breath, and said slowly: "The benefactor was killed by Xiang Yu, and the two sons could not escape, and the whole clan was killed under the butcher's knife, and the incense was almost cut off. Fortunately, in the chaos of the day, I asked the young princess to dress up as a palace maid, and the old slave tried his best to finally protect the young daughter of the benefactor......"
When Zhang Han heard this, he couldn't help but admire: "Senior Gao Yi, if you can preserve a little Qin incense, it will not be in vain for Gongzi Ying's trust in you." ”
Who knew that Han Tan was not happy when he heard his praise, but instead beat the ground and cried, he howled: "King Yong doesn't know, the old man is a good heart, who knew that he actually pushed the young princess into the fire pit......"
Zhang Han was shocked: "How do you say this?" ”
"On that day, Xiang Yu led the troops into the forbidden palace, and the situation was extremely critical, so I let the young princess mix in with the palace maids, and prepared to take her out after the limelight passed. But he didn't expect Xiang Yu to rob all the women of the Qin Palace, the currency of the Qin treasury, and the ancient brain, and collect half of it himself, and distribute the rest to the soldiers. The young princess was beautiful, and she was taken by Han Wangcheng and brought straight back to the camp, I am afraid that her innocence will not be guaranteed. Han talked about the old tears, obviously very remorseful.
Zhang Han looked at the weeping old man, and was silent for a while, although he really wanted to help him and let the Great Qin royal family leave a little incense, but it was a pity that he couldn't help.
He has never met Han Wangcheng, but he also knows his details from history. When Xiang Yu entered the customs, Han Wangcheng did not accompany him, and he was stationed in Hongmen by Jing Yu, ordering the kings, and Han Wangcheng went to see him. Although Xiang Yu thought that he was useless, he was innocent after all, and he had to promise to revert to the old seal.
Although he and King Han are the kings of the domain, King Han is the king of the Six Kingdoms, and he is much more noble than his King Yong, so he rashly went to ask for the palace maid that King Han likes, I am afraid that King Han will never agree.
Moreover, Han Xiang, who was under King Han, also made Zhang Han deeply jealous, this person was none other than the resourceful Zhang Liang Zhang Zifang. If he comes forward in this matter, he is likely to be discovered by Zhang Liang, which will involve the identity of the young princess. In this way, not only is the life of the young princess not guaranteed, but he, a general of the Qin Dynasty, will also be implicated to the end, so Zhang Han can only firmly refuse Han Tan's request.
"Han Tan senior, forgive me for this matter." Zhang Han had a regretful expression on his face, "If I don't come forward, the young princess will still be able to save her life, once I get involved, King Xiang and King Han, as well as Sima Xin and Dong Peng, they will inevitably find out the identity of the little princess, which will harm you." ”
"Please also ask King Yong to think of a way again, at this moment in Xianyang City, you are the only one who can save the life of the young princess." Han Tan's face was full of gloom, and the wrinkles between the eyebrows of this white-haired old man deepened, as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.
Zhang Han stood up and said ruthlessly: "Come on, send off!" ”
He really couldn't help it, and he didn't want to think of a way. He is just a general of the Qin Dynasty, and his identity is inherently special, so he can't put his life on the line for a little incense from the Qin family.
He didn't think about leaving Han Tan behind, this person is a time bomb, whoever explodes in his hands is unlucky, and if he doesn't hand him over to Xiang Yu, it can be regarded as giving face to Gongzi Ying.
Zhang Ping walked in from outside the house, stood on Han Tan's side, and said respectfully: "Senior, please." ”
Han Tan stared at Zhang Han with anger and disappointment in his eyes, and then he sneered and strode out of the house.
Zhang Han looked at his back fixedly, for some reason, he had a bad premonition, how would this loyal old slave save his little master?
