[You can read the book well, but you should pay attention to the study and rest, our website is updated the fastest and best, free no pop-up ads, hot-blooded:, Baidu xieyixs is on it] On May 23, 259 BC, the King of Qin was assassinated in Xiyuan. The assassination of King Qin was arguably the most significant event of the year—if it were not for the later fall of the Chu State. Although the ten assassins were all ambushed, and although Lang Zhong ordered Lü Buwei to save him desperately, the King of Qin only injured his chest and did not hurt the vital point, but the King of Qin still died. Smeared with poison that seals the throat with blood, ordinary wounds can kill people. Lü Buwei was "lucky", the assassin targeted the King of Qin, Lü Buwei only broke a few ribs, and there was no fear of his life. In stark contrast to Lü Buwei's loyal protector was the hesitation of the general Du Chan, who seemed to be stunned by the poison that the assassin had used to seal his throat when he saw blood, and actually allowed the assassin to rush past him. When Du Chan came back to his senses and wanted to rescue King Qin, King Qin had already fallen in a pool of blood. When the King of Qin was assassinated, all the people around the King of Qin were more or less injured, or they were kicked away by the Assassin and broke a few ribs, such as Lü Buwei. Either he was stabbed by the assassin's sword or shot by an arrow, but Du Chan was the only one who was unscathed. Seeing King Qin fall in a pool of blood, Wang Fang, the captain in the Weiwei Mansion, completely went berserk and completely lost his square inch. King Qin's face turned dark, he had no breath, no heartbeat, obviously dead and could not be saved. In the Qin State, it was a capital offense to protect the unfavorable. It's not a pity to die by himself, Wang Fang only hopes that he can not affect his family and Yang Duanhe, the guard. At this time when everyone was at a loss, Lu Buwei propped up his seriously injured body and reluctantly told Wang Fang a few things. The first thing was to quickly cordon off the scene to prevent the news of King Qin's assassination from leaking out, and then use King Qin's ill health as an excuse to pull King Qin's car over and put King Qin's body inside. One should be dieted. All of them were sent in by reliable people, creating the illusion that although the King of Qin was assassinated, he was unhindered. The second thing was to quickly send someone to spread the news of King Qin's assassination to the palace. Except for the queen Huayang, the crown prince Chu, and the prime minister Yingze, no fourth person can know the news. Even Wei Wei Yang Duanhe and other henchmen of the King of Qin could not do it. The third thing is to arrest all the officers and soldiers in charge of the perimeter guard, regardless of their position. Ten dangerous assassins were allowed to infiltrate Xiyuan and successfully assassinate the King of Qin, and someone must be responsible for this matter. Of course, according to the laws of the Qin State, all people could not escape the sanctions of the Qin Law. But being able to arrest them in advance can at least make their own people less culpable. The fourth thing is to order someone to watch the general Du Chan. Lü Buwei retreated from the crowd. privately told Wang Fang that he suspected that the assassination of King Qin was related to Du Chan. If Du Chan and the Assassin were not in contact, why would the Assassin let Du Chan go?! The people around King Qin, except for Du Chan, were all injured, which was seen and remembered by everyone. What's more, Du Chan actually hesitated in the face of the dangerous King Qin, and watched King Qin be assassinated, but he didn't do anything! To put it mildly, Du Chan has lived up to King Qin's grace to him on weekdays; To put it more seriously, Du Chan is derelict in his duties and an accomplice to the assassins! That's it alone. There's nothing wrong with capturing Du Chan! Lü Buwei's composure quickly made him the backbone of a leaderless army. Therefore, under the instigation of Lü Buwei, Wang Fang sent someone to arrest Du Chan at the first time. Du Chan was completely immersed in endless self-blame and regret at this time. And despair for the future! When the king of Qin died, the crown prince Chu could rightfully succeed to the throne. At that time, Mrs. Huayang will become the queen mother, and she has the experience of Du Ji and Mrs. Huayang being jealous in the past, where will there be good fruits for her brothers and sisters to eat? ! Maybe the brother and sister will be martyred for King Qin! Finished! It's all over! If I had known, I shouldn't have thought about the goddamn crown prince! If you keep a low profile, if you keep a low profile, you may be able to be a rich man and live for the rest of your life. It's a luxury to be alive now. There weren't many guards that Du Mo carried. When Wang Fang led the angry soldiers to arrest Du Chan on suspicion of assassinating the King of Qin. None of Du Chan's guards dared to resist. Du Chan knew that there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add, but he didn't have the courage to resist. Resist now. Most of them will be killed on the spot, and they will also commit suicide in fear after the assassination of King Qin. Leave it to the useful, and there may be an opportunity to justify, albeit rarely. Of course, in fact, Du Chan hopes to sneak back to Jinyang, relying on his advantage of being in charge of one-third of Jinyang's soldiers and horses, he will not stop doing anything, killing Mrs. Huayang and the prince, and making Gongzi Jia (Du Ji's son) the prince and succeeding to the throne as the king of Qin. But Du Chan knows very well that he is afraid that he will not have this opportunity! Qin State, Jinyang. Xiyuan is only eighty miles away from Jinyang, and with the construction of Chi Road, the road from Xiyuan to Jinyang is really easy to walk. Lü Buwei and Wang Fang joined forces to order people to rush to Jinyang at an expedited speed of 800 miles, so the king of Qin was assassinated in the morning, and the palace received the news that the king of Qin was dead in the afternoon. Mrs. Rao is Huayang is accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and after learning that King Qin was assassinated, she also fainted. When she woke up, tears rained down before she could speak. Years of husband and wife relationship, who is placed on it, is unwilling to accept such a fact. Obviously, two days ago, the King of Qin still went out of the city in high spirits and promised himself that he would hunt a deer for himself. But this parting has become a life-and-death farewell, and yin and yang are no longer on the same path. I'm afraid that in a few days, King Qin's body will stink! As soon as she thought of this, Mrs. Huayang's tears could no longer be stopped. No one dared to pick up the thin paper on the ground, so that Mrs. Huayang could faint after seeing the news, who knew who would die. However, the eunuch ordered to send someone to invite the prince Chu and Prime Minister Yingze as soon as possible, as expected, after seeing the note, the prince Zichu and Prime Minister Yingze couldn't suppress the sadness in their hearts, and their clothes were wet with tears. After all, Ying Ze is an old minister, and he has done a better job of controlling his emotions, instructing the prince to give an order and disperse all the subordinates in the queen's bedroom. In the huge queen's bedroom, there are only three people left: Mrs. Huayang, Prince Chu, and Prime Minister Yingze! When Mrs. Huayang woke up, Prime Minister Ying restrained the sadness in her heart and said: "The queen mourns! The king unfortunately died, and the state affairs became even more difficult. The top priority is to control the situation in the court, prepare for the crown prince to succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and set up a new king for Great Qin to tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, people's hearts are unstable. The country is shaken, if Han and Zhao come to attack at the same time, the hegemony that Wang Yiyi wants to complete will be buried! Mrs. Huayang wept. Choked up: "It's all thanks to the Prime Minister." Prime Minister Ying thought for a while and replied: "The arrangements made by Lang Zhongling are very appropriate. Leaving plenty of time for the crown prince to succeed to the throne. In the opinion of the ministers, the top priority is to let Yangquanjun control the soldiers and horses of Xianyang, so that even if the news of the king's death leaks, the crown prince can be guaranteed to succeed to the throne smoothly. In addition, the weather is hot, if the king's body is not preserved with ice, and there are no spices such as pepper, musk, and sandalwood to cover the smell, I am afraid that it will humiliate the king! When he quickly sent someone to transport these things to Xiyuan. At the same time, in the name of the king's summer vacation, an ice cellar was built in the palace. It is convenient for the king's body to be transported into the palace and preserved. Third, after controlling the soldiers and horses of Jinyang, recruit more young men in the name of the king and speed up the construction of the royal tomb, which can not be delayed! Prime Minister Yingze's implication is obvious, Yangquanjun is the prince's maternal uncle, and he is a trustworthy person for Mrs. Huayang and the prince's son. He controls Jinyang's soldiers and horses, even if the other sons have any ideas, they don't dare to cause trouble because they don't have the troops at hand. It's May, and it's hot. If you want the accompanying sergeants to not be suspicious, and if you want the hundred officials in the city to not be suspicious, the antiseptic things such as ice cubes and spices must be complete. Otherwise. The stinky chariot was enough to make the news of King Qin's violent death known to the world. In addition, at this time, people believed that the first thing that each king did when he succeeded to the throne was to send someone to choose a site and build a royal tomb where he would live after his death. When King Qin succeeded to the throne, Guanzhong still belonged to the Qin State, and the royal tomb of King Qin was built in Guanzhong. However, as the Qin State moved its capital to Jinyang, the King of Qin had to order someone to build a royal tomb in Taiyuan County. In less than six years, where can the royal tomb be repaired?! However, it is impossible for the King of Qin to remain in the ground, so he can only wait until the situation is controlled, and then build the royal tomb with 100,000 or even more young people. Let the King of Qin settle in the ground as soon as possible. Mrs. Huayang nodded again and again, and asked, "There is still General Du Chan in the investigation of the murderer behind this scene?" Of course, Prime Minister Ying knew Mrs. Huayang's thoughts. Foreign. The state of Qin can claim that the king of Qin died violently, after all. If it is assassinated, the dignity of the Qin State will be too damaged. Moreover, this matter involves Lang Zhongling Lu Buwei and Wei Wei Yang Duanhe, if the two of them are demoted to concubines or even die because of the unfavorable escort, the court will inevitably be in chaos. Lü Buwei is the person that Mrs. Huayang relies on, and he is the husband of Prince Chu. Wei Wei Yang Duanhe has a great prestige in the army, even if he wants to punish the crimes of the two, it can't be now. This doomed King Qin to die only by "dying", only in this way can the impact of the matter be minimized, so that the crown prince Chu does not have too much pressure to succeed to the throne. Otherwise, after Zichu succeeded to the throne, he would have the important matter of arresting the real culprit behind the assassination of King Qin, if this matter is not resolved, how can we talk about Liwei? ! You must know that those who dare to assassinate the King of Qin and have the ability to assassinate the King of Qin must be the forces of other countries. Among them, the biggest one is probably South Korea. South Korea can use the death of the king of Qin to cause trouble to the Qin state, so that at least during the one-year mourning period, the Qin state should not use swords and soldiers, whether it is to stabilize the people's hearts or to mourn. South Korea will have plenty of time to deal with this inter-state collaboration. Even, there was hope that made the Qin State afraid and did not dare to agree to cooperate. Of course, it is also possible for Chu and Zhao to do this. The indecision of the king of Qin on the matter of connivance must have made the countries dissatisfied. The countries sent assassins to assassinate the king of Qin and blame Korea, which could make the relationship between Qin and South Korea quickly turn bad. Under the fury of the Qin State, it is very likely that they will strengthen their position of joining forces, but in line with the purpose of joining forces as soon as possible and confronting Korea as soon as possible, even if the countries send assassins, there is no need to kill the King of Qin, nor do they need to smear poison on their weapons. Now this kind of behavior makes the Qin State unable to use swords and soldiers in a short period of time, which is not conducive to the alliance. Therefore, among the various countries, especially Zhao and Chu, although there is a possibility of directing assassins, it is not as good as Korea. As for the general Du Chan, it is even more unlikely that he will assassinate the King of Qin. Although his performance at the scene was really cowardly, if General Du Chan really had the intention to assassinate, he would definitely try not to be at the scene, but to sit in Jinyang. In this way, after the matter was completed, the general Du Chan sent troops to capture Jinyang as soon as possible, blamed the death of the King of Qin on Mrs. Huayang, the prince and others, and then supported Gongzi Jia as the king of Qin. But Ying knows better that someone must be responsible for King Qin's "violent death". As soon as King Qin died like this, the person in charge of the Qin State became Mrs. Huayang. Just by virtue of Du Chan's ambition for the position of the crown prince and the strength of his own faction in the court, by virtue of Du Chan's incompetence, he did not protect King Qin, and he relied on Du Chan to know the truth about King Qin's "violent death". He couldn't have returned to Jinyang alive! This is what happens to the sacrificial side of the political game! If it was really the general Du Chan who assassinated, if the general Du Chan controlled Jinyang, the general Du Chan would not sympathize with Mrs. Huayang and the crown prince Chu. So. Prime Minister Ying said without hesitation: "It is not appropriate to publicize the secret investigation of the assassination of the king, in the opinion of the ministers." It is better to wait for the situation to stabilize and declare that the king 'died violently', this 'epidemic' came too quickly, and the general Du Chan and others also died. Ying Ze announced Du Chan's fate in a few words, the stakes are very high, and only the dead can keep secrets. Not only Du Chan, but many ordinary soldiers who knew about the death of King Qin had to be martyred for King Qin. No matter how desperately they tried to rescue King Qin, it was not enough to atone for their sins. That's the bloody truth. "So good! These days, Prime Minister Lao Cheng and Yang Quanjun work together to assist the prince in controlling Jinyang! Prince, a humerus minister like the prime minister, you have to rely on it a lot! Mrs. Huayang said nonchalantly. Erchen saved! The prince replied respectfully. Queen Xie, Prince Xie! Ying knew that it wouldn't be long before the names of these two people would change. The Qin State will usher in a new king, but it is unknown whether the future will be bright or dark! I can only do my best to assist. But it can't control the fate of the Qin State! Time is also fate! That night, Yang Quanjun arrived at the military camp that originally belonged to the general Du Chan with the tiger talisman and the royal decree of the King of Qin, missing the backbone of the general Du Chan. No one dared to stop Yangquanjun from entering the camp. In this era, no one dared to challenge the royal power. Shrewd people even speculated that the general Du Chan must have lost his position in front of King Qin. Except for a few officers who questioned that Yang Quanjun was an overbearing, most of the officers who followed General Du Chan chose to accept it. For the former, Yang Quanjun's solution is simple and crude, that is, to kill. For the latter, Yang Quanjun did not have mercy, and replaced this group of people with his own henchmen and led the army. This night. There was no sound from the barracks outside the city, except for a few screams. Yang Quanjun almost completely controlled all the armies within fifty miles of Jinyang without bloodshed. 28,000 in all. All the officers who were attached to the general Du Chan were either killed or dismissed. Without exception. This is true even if it has been hidden in the Yangquan Jun army for a long time. Even if they were neutral and loyal to the King of Qin, if they were unwilling to hand over their military power, they would be killed by Yangquan Jun for the crime of treason. After controlling the five large and small military camps, Yang Quanjun ordered all the troops to stay in the barracks honestly, without their own warrants, they were not allowed to enter and exit, and those who violated the order would be killed! In the entire Jinyang City, everything involved in the command and dispatch of the army was also controlled by Yangquanjun's henchmen. After doing these things, the hundred officials in the city heard some rumors - there was an epidemic in Xiyuan, and for his own safety, King Qin decided to end the hunt early and return to the palace to escape the heat, which is also something that Mrs. Huayang wants the hundred officials to know. After taking control of Jinyang City, Mrs. Huayang also had the confidence to do so. The weather was so hot that even though I ordered ice and spices to be delivered overnight last night, I couldn't keep it up for long. Instead of worrying about the exposure of King Qin's body, it is better to integrate it into the palace, at least the palace is full of his own eyes and ears, and there is an ice cellar. As long as he uses the majesty of his queen to deter King Qin's restless concubines, it is easy to keep it secret. If someone doesn't know whether they are alive or dead, and dares to disturb the rest of the "King of Qin", then he will definitely let the other party give the King of Qin a funeral. This is what Mrs. Huayang really thinks. Two days later, King Qin's car quietly drove into Jinyang City at night. The hundred officials received the order, the king of Qin was unwell, and the hundred officials did their own responsibilities and did not need to come to greet them. That night, only a few people such as Prime Minister Yingze, Yangquanjun, and the crown prince listened to the orders of the "King of Qin", and although the officials had some doubts, they could only say that they were buried in their hearts. The weather is getting hotter these days, so it seems to be a good option to rest during the day and rush into the city at night. The King of Qin was high, how dare he question the orders of the King of Qin. At the same time, the officials also heard that even the general Du Chan was "accidentally" infected with the epidemic, and now he is recuperating in Xiyuan and cannot come. King Qin was in a very bad mood because of this sudden epidemic! Only in the harem, in order to show their loyalty to the King of Qin, Du Ji and others asked to see the King of Qin the next day, but were ruthlessly rejected by Mrs. Huayang. I heard that the two sides broke up unhappily. Du Ji has now lost the support of his brother Du Chan in the court, and he doesn't dare to make too much trouble. On the one hand, Du Ji sent someone to Xiyuan to inquire about his brother's condition, and on the other hand, Du Ji secretly made up his mind that when the "King of Qin" recovered, he must tell the "King of Qin" how domineering Mrs. Huayang is. In Du Ji's opinion, King Qin loves himself so much, how could he not want to see himself?! Even if you don't want to see yourself, you must be willing to see your beloved son - Gongzi Jia! It must be that Mrs. Huayang wants to take care of King Qin alone and win King Qin's favor! (To be continued)
