Chapter 128: Mutiny (I)

Qin State, Xianyang.

It's late autumn, and the sky is getting cooler. The frost and dew at night show the reincarnation of the season, and in more than a month, the first heavy snow will fall in Guanzhong, and at that time the mountain dance silver snake will be a wax statue, which is very good-looking. However, this is also the right time to enjoy autumn, and there is no more magnificent scenery than this one. At the time of sunrise, or at the moment of sunset, stand on the top of the high mountain, overlook by the railing, and take in the panoramic view of Guanzhong. Whether it is sad or exciting, it all depends on one heart.

Xianyang is still very lively, and there is an endless stream of business travelers. The news of the loss of Nanyang County has long been known to the Qin people, but the Qin people with a little common sense know that it is the Taiyuan and Hedong battlefields that determine the general trend of the world. In the east of the river, there is an army of 100,000 marquis, relying on the important town of Anyi, which is enough to be invincible. In Taiyuan, although there is still a stalemate at the moment, the pride in the bones of the Qin people makes them firmly believe that they will win.

In order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the Bai Qi army, most of Hexi County has been emptied. Moreover, the newly requisitioned grain from Xianyang is also being continuously transported to Hexi County, and then transferred to Taiyuan County. The strict laws are enough to ensure the implementation of efficiency, even if the road is long and tortuous, there is never a Qin army's baggage team that is delayed.

In the Xianyang Palace, King Qin was laughing at a battle report. The secret agents of the Black Ice Platform came with the latest news, the front line of the Zhao army was running out of food and grass, and the king of Zhao had ordered Lian Po to fight and retreat, and led the army to retreat to the east bank of the Fen River. This means that the Qin army can be condescending and the three counties of Hedong, Sanchuan, and Nanyang in the south. However, in the eyes of King Qin, although Zhao was determined to retreat, if he did not teach it a profound lesson, the hatred in King Qin's heart was still difficult to eliminate.

"Passing on the widow's order, Bai Qi does not have to stay after severely defeating the Zhao army, and goes directly south to join the prime minister and recover the lost land in Hedong and Hexi." The eunuch Ling beside the Qin Dynasty said.

"Whoa!" The eunuch ordered him to leave.

Xianyang, Wanhou Mansion.

Childe looked at the fish swimming in the pond with satisfaction. Be at ease. Ten days ago, he wrote a letter requesting to go to the old capital of Yongcheng to worship his ancestors and pray for the front-line army, and the king of Qin agreed, and sent his henchmen to lead 500 soldiers to escort him. However, what King Qin didn't know was that Gongzi City, which he thought was already far away in Yongcheng, had actually been quietly lurking in Wanhou's Mansion.

It all started three years ago. On the way back from a hunting trip in Childe City, he meets a beggar and finds that he is strikingly similar to himself. Childe was very surprised, and he wanted to kill him to prevent someone from using him to fake himself.

But soon, Childe City thought that maybe he could use this beggar to carry out the plan. At that time, the relationship between King Qin and himself was tense, and if King Qin made a killing move, he might be able to rely on this beggar golden cicada to escape from his shell. So, Childe City imprisoned the beggar in the house. He was born and nurtured, and taught him etiquette.

After discovering that King Qin had no intention of passing on the throne to him, Gongzishi thought that Empress Dowager Xuan would support him, so that no matter how unwilling King Qin was, he had to accept this established fate. However, sending Proton to the State of Chu completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope for Gongzi City. Childe knew that he wanted to ascend to the throne in his lifetime. You can only take a risk, and that is to rebel.

Rebellion was a great crime in the Qin State. Childe City knows the risks, but there is no risk where the harvest comes from. After Childe City decided to seize power by force, he began to plot step by step.

In the past 30 years, Gongzi City has cultivated many henchmen, but most of them are known to King Qin. The power placed on the surface is always deterrent, but it is often those hidden chess pieces that determine success or failure. Childe began to rejoice. At the beginning, he listened to the words of the strategists and cultivated a large number of dark chess, many of whom were already in high positions or lowly and powerful. Among them, the most important are Jiang Wen and Wei Hun.

With the guard captain leading the troops to the battle, the guard responsibility of the Qin Palace's palace has been handed over to Jiang Wen, Wang Liao's deputy. King Qin didn't know. Childe City had no intention of saving Jiang Wen's father, and Jiang Wen joined the Childe City faction a long time ago.

Jiang Wen himself is also a person with a strong desire for power, but his loyal and upright appearance has been hidden from many people, including his boss Wang Liao. Wang Liao saw his duty and devotion to his duties, and recommended him to the king of Qin to protect the palace in his place, and the king of Qin readily agreed.

Gongzishi then contacted him at the first time and promised him a high lord made by Daliang. Jiang Wen knew that if he followed the step-by-step process, he would at most take the position of a guard lieutenant. In this way, I don't know how many years I have to survive. In the shortcut and difficult way, Jiang Wen chose the shortcut at the first time. What's more, Gongzi City was originally the legal heir of the Qin State, and Jiang Wen chose this way, and the psychological burden was much less.

Wei Hun is now the lieutenant of Xianyang, responsible for the garrison of the outer city of Xianyang. Speaking of which, he was originally a good official, loyal and talented, if it weren't for being caught by Gongzi City because of his drug addiction and lust, maybe he would still be on the road of loyalty to King Qin. But it's a pity that creation makes people, in the past few years, more and more of the handles in his hands have fallen into the hands of Gongzi City, and each of them is a big crime of killing the head. Therefore, after Childe City proposed to pull him together to rebel, he had to from.

Wei Hun also has his own abacus, Xianyang has an army of 5,000, 3,000 in his own hands, and 2,000 in Jiang Wen's hands. Now that both of them are on the big ship of Childe City, there is no reason why the rebellion is unsuccessful. As long as he succeeds, he will be a minister of the dragon, and the previous stain will be washed away.

Today is September 24th, which is nothing more than ordinary for most people. However, this is an extremely important day for Childe City, as he has decided to rebel tonight. succeeded, he is the lord of Great Qin, and he will drink the world; Failure, it is nothing more than a death and a soul to return to Huangquan. This is the biggest gambling in Childe City, with his life as a bet, although he generally does not gamble, it does not mean that he will not gamble. Now that the inner and outer cities are in the hands of Childe City, Childe City feels that he has no reason to lose, so he dares to bet.

Childe's henchman housekeeper stood aside, looked at Childe's face with a calm face, and sighed in his heart: "Seeing that the night is a decisive battle, Childe can still be so calm and calm, it is really very human!" ”

At this time, Gongzishi opened his arms lazily, and said with a smile: "Lao Tian, I'll go and rest first, how about you accompany Ben Gongzi to the palace to watch the fireworks when you wake up at night?" ”

After speaking, Childe City didn't wait for the response of the henchman butler, and walked straight back to the bedroom, leaving the henchman butler stunned by the face.

The night is coming soon, and there is a cool breeze blowing on the streets of Xianyang from time to time, perhaps because the autumn is too cool and the night is deep, and there is no pedestrian on the street except for the husband. At this moment, the palace barracks were brightly lit, and the acting guard captain Jiang Wen was wearing armor all over his body, sitting in the middle military tent, and there were middle-level officers above the rank of uncle standing on both sides.

Seeing that the number of people had arrived, Jiang Wen cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Everyone, this general is in charge of the palace forbidden army, and he knows that he has a heavy responsibility, so he doesn't dare to slack off in the slightest. However, there are unscrupulous people who despise military discipline and behave perversely, and are not tolerated by the army. Therefore, I will summon you to come overnight, and I will strictly enforce military discipline. ”

It is said that the new official has three fires when he takes office, and although Jiang Wen is only a substitute, he can also take orders as soon as he has the power in hand. He has not made any major moves for more than ten days in office, and everyone thought that this was the end of it, but they did not expect that an emergency assembly would suddenly be held. Even the most stupid uncle knows that Jiang Wen is afraid that he is going to take some people and establish his authority. Therefore, all of them are trembling and praying that they will not be so unlucky to be chosen as "typical"!

Jiang Wen was very satisfied with the reaction of the generals in the audience, which made him feel like he was on top. After a deliberate pause for a while, Jiang Wen said unhurriedly: "Someone!" 500 advocated Han, Bochang Ji Ying, and Ji Gong embezzled military rations, slandered the general, pulled the general down, and ordered him to confess his crimes within three days. ”

Zhang Han, who was named by name, immediately expressed his wrongs and asked Jiang Wen to give evidence. Jiang Wen ignored it at all, and said: "If I wronged you, I would have apologized to you in front of everyone." So he sent the other man away.

On the one hand, the rest of the generals were glad that they were not named, and on the other hand, they also lamented that Zhang Han had offended Jiang Wen a lot on weekdays, and now he has been punished. For a moment, the big tent could only be silent.

Jiang Wen listened to Zhang Han's cry outside the big tent, and showed a mocking smile, then his expression changed, and he said with a straight face: "I have the king's secret decree, and everyone will accept it!" ”

The generals were shocked, but they still knelt down towards the "royal decree" held high by Jiang Wen. Jiang Wen said at this time: "It has been thirty-four years since the widow succeeded to the throne, the people are rich and rich, and the country is peaceful, but there are villains in the palace, colluding with foreign ministers, and wanting to be unfavorable to the widows." The widow now ordered Jiang Wen to take charge of the forbidden army, enter the palace and serve as kings, and wait to hear Jiang Wen's dispatch alone, and those who do not comply will be beheaded, and those who speak falsely will be beheaded. ”

After Jiang Wen finished reading the "Wang's Decree", there was a mess at the bottom. After receiving such an order from King Qin, everyone felt a little inexplicable. Immediately, one of the five hundred lords asked, "General, how could the king give such an order?" The last general suspected that there was fraud and asked for a look at the king's decree. ”

Although the forbidden army is responsible for guarding the safety of the palace, they cannot go into the inner palace without the will of the king. Moreover, those who dispatch more than 50 soldiers must hold the tiger talisman issued by the king, which can be combined with the tiger talisman in the army. This order is a bit strange.

"Now that the tiger talisman has fallen into the hands of traitors, it is not easy for the king to send an attendant to inform the general. Are you suspecting me of falsely preaching the king's decree? Jiang Wen stared at the five hundred lords who had just spoken.

"The last general will not dare!" The five hundred lords were sweating, but they still stubbornly said: "If there is no tiger talisman, it is not in accordance with the rules, if someone pretends to be the king's will, will I not obey the enemy's will when I enter the palace." For the sake of the king, for the sake of the Great Qin, please give the general the king's decree to the generals for a look. ”

Jiang Wen looked around and found that they were all looking at him expectantly, so he said, "Okay, then I'll give you a look." However, after watching, you must immediately enter the palace with the general, and if you don't listen to the general's orders, then you will be killed! ”

Listening to these murderous words, the generals' hearts sank, and they responded with a straight face, "Oh! Soon, the generals read the king's decree, and after confirming that it was true, they immediately killed the palace under the leadership of Jiang Wen. (To be continued......)
