Chapter 44: The Death of the King of Yiqu
In Ganquan Palace, King Yiqu drank and had fun as always.
The two princes of King Yiqu also learned from their father, playing with the beauties around them with one hand, and saying the words of **; While drinking the wine of the Central Plains, I watched groups of palace maids dance.
What a wonderful life it is! King Yiqu sighed in his heart.
Although it has been thirty-three years since he came to Xianyang, and his life has been like this every year, King Yiqu still has not enjoyed enough of this life. The woman in the Central Plains is really bone-eroding. That figure, that voice, is by no means comparable to the sturdy woman of Yiqu.
Thirty-three years, the king of Yiqu had long forgotten the Qingyang royal city more than 300 miles away. If it weren't for his own royal brother who came to visit him every three years, saying that the people missed him and hoped that he would return to govern, King Yiqu would not want to think about that barbaric and backward country at all.
Compared with the Central Plains, the living conditions in Yiqu are too poor. The longer he stayed in Xianyang, the more King Yiqu had such an experience. The headache of governing the country is left to your brother Wang! As long as he is on the throne for one day, the Qin people will not be embarrassed by their faces. I just need to sing every day and drink and have fun.
What if he is the king of a barbarian state, and how strong is the Qin state, it is not that he will give in under his own scimitar. Even the most noble queen mother of the Qin State was under her crotch and raised two sons for herself. Every time King Yiqu thought of such a scene, there was a commotion in his heart.
Indeed, this is the most proud thing in King Yiqu's life.
The world of men has always been to conquer, and it is said that men conquer women by conquering the world, but King Yiqu scoffs at it. Why bother, just conquer women. The beauty is pregnant with the hero mound, and as the most heroic man in Yiqu, he naturally has to match the most gorgeous hero mound. Therefore, only Xianyang, only Ganquan Palace is worthy of themselves!
Now the Empress Dowager of Qin is in her prime, and she has long been old and decrepit. But King Yiqu is also in his sixties and is no longer young. In the past 33 years, the Queen Mother has always treated King Yiqu with great respect, and has changed her tricks every year to please King Yiqu. Beauty, wine, food, gorgeous brocade, all supply and demand made the king of Yiqu feel that the Qin State was surrendered at the foot of Yiqu.
Here, King Yiqu can feel his power. And back in Qingyang, the thrill of conquering the Qin State will not be so strong. So no matter what, the king of Yiqu is not willing to want to return to Yiqu.
It was another song in the middle of the night, and the king of Yiqu fell asleep with the new beauty in his arms. The old King of Yiqu is not as energetic as before, but in order to maintain his brave and strong image, he still played for half a night. After taking the aphrodisiac medicine, King Yiqu regained his youth and majesty in the beauty.
There is a similar scene in the adjacent dormitory. Yiquyan is the eldest son of the Empress Dowager of Qin and the King of Yiqu, and he is only thirty years old, so it stands to reason that he should be the most energetic age. Now he is hollowed out by wine, and the martial spirit of Yiqu can no longer be seen in him.
Although his second brother Yiquzhang is three years younger, he is even worse. often have uncovered meetings with his concubines. Tonight, after the two brothers waited their father back to the palace, they continued the great achievements of the ten daughters of the night. After tossing and turning like this, he fell asleep at three o'clock.
Just after the ugly hour, the night was already dark, and Ganquan Palace was completely quiet. The palace maids and eunuchs who had been busy all night finally fell asleep. There was no sound in the huge Ganquan Palace except for the scattered footsteps of the guards.
The Queen Mother was not in Ganquan Palace tonight, and the guards looked careless. There is no way, the three masters of Yiqu are too good at tossing, if the Queen Mother is there, she can still persuade a little, but if the Queen Mother is not there, the three of them will definitely be able to make the whole Lishan restless.
Therefore, once the three masters went to bed, all the guards breathed a sigh of relief. They would wake up at three o'clock every day, and it was almost midnight before they woke up to eat, and this time was a rare rest time for everyone in Ganquan Palace. Once they wake up, the toss of a new day begins.
Just as Ganquan Palace was washing and sleeping, a well in the apse made a slight noise. When you look closely, there is a figure, two figures...... Thirty men came out of the well like ghosts and appeared in the naveil.
If someone happens to see it at this time, they will definitely scream in fright. It's so scary that this well is the only place to get water from the apse. How could someone come out of the bottom of a well in the middle of the night! Since it's not a human, it's definitely a ghost!
Thirty people were lightly moved, and one of them made a gesture, and suddenly two of them disappeared into the night, leaving the only way to retreat from the guards. The rest of the twenty-eight people went straight to the apse, looking at their familiar appearance, walking without making a sound, really like a palace man who died tragically!
In the main hall, King Yiqu turned over in a daze, and shouted "thirsty, thirsty, give the lonely king water to drink." Anyone who has been drunk knows that he will be thirsty in the middle of the night, and King Yiqu, as the most "honorable" guest of Qin, has a special slave to keep vigil. It's just that tonight's King Yiqu can't wait for water to drink after all. Because the maid who served him had fallen to the ground, and her body was still bubbling with blood.
Yiqu impatiently opened his mouth again, "If you are thirsty, give lonely water to drink." Only this time it was a blood-stained dagger that responded to him. One, two, three, the dagger stabbed into the heart of King Yiqu, who tried to open his mouth and scream, but the extra towel in his mouth stopped him from shouting. He could only barely open his eyes and look at his murderer unwillingly.
A generation of heroes and righteous kings, died at the age of sixty-six.
In this life, he spent more than ten years on the expedition and sat on the throne of King Yiqu. In the second half of his life, he was drunk and dreamed of death in the flower world of Xianyang.
drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up to control the power of the world, power, beauty, he has all these things; He has experienced the vicious battles of the sword mountain and the sea of fire, the invincible victory, the success or failure, and the humiliation. But in the end, it is all in the past, and heroes such as the king of Yiqu have also ended up in a different place.
Carefully cut off the head of the King of Yiqu, and the night man did not stop, and went straight to the next target. The two princes of Yiqu had already been hollowed out by the wine, and they were drunk and unconscious, without a trace of resistance, and the man in black cut off two heads. Of course, if the struggle before death can be regarded as resistance, let alone that they have resisted.
The Nightman completed his mission and quietly returned the way he came. Gently they went, just as they came gently, and with a wave of their sleeves, they took only three heads.
When the rooster announced, the defenders of Xianyang opened the city gates as usual. Thirty Korean dead soldiers mingled with the farmers who came to the city to sell vegetables, and passed through the city. It's just that when they stayed in the city, they took advantage of the morning light to leave three heads on the most lively street, as well as a copy of the royal decree of the "King of Qin".
The king said: The widow inherits the will of the previous king and takes the destruction of the righteous canal as his own responsibility. The righteous canal is not benevolent, raising troops to ruin our people, and harming our people. The widow values harmony and does not hesitate to compromise and seek perfection, but Yiqu is pressing step by step, wanting to take Xianyang as his prince and the widow as his courtier. This hatred and this humiliation are not shared with the sky, and the widow swears to destroy his country. Today, the dives take the head of the king of Yiqu and the second prince in the starry night, and the tree is here, with the ambition of the widow and the heart of the great Qin. In the near future, the king's division will send troops to the righteous canal, and those who violate the will of the previous king will be asked for by Daqin; Whoever resists the king's order, the world will chase him away!
Soon, Xianyang City became lively. The news of the killing of King Yiqu quickly spread throughout the city and alarmed the entire palace. Quickly, a messenger went to Ganquan Palace to check on King Yiqu, but he pushed the door in, only to see a headless corpse.
The captain and chief eunuch of Ganquan Palace, who originally did not believe it, suddenly sat on the ground, but the messenger didn't care, and hurriedly went to the palace to restore his life: King Yiqu and the two princes died tragically in Ganquan Palace, and the murderer did not know where to go!
All of a sudden, the whole Xianyang was in chaos!
