Chapter 60: Brothers on the Wall
Four days later, Wuguan. The delegation sent by Xianyang to visit Chu crossed the mountains and finally reached Wuguan before sunset.
Wuguan is located in the north of Danshui, originally known as Shaoxi Pass, and later renamed Wuguan. The checkpoint leans on the rock cliff in the north, borders the stream in the south, and is surrounded by rivers on the east, west and south sides. There are four ridges in the east of the city, especially the suspension bridge ridge is high and steep, "go up the mountain together, do not allow to ride together", shield for Wuguan. Its boundary is "Qin Head and Chu Tail", which is "Qin Chu Throat" and "Guanzhong Key".
It's just that as the Qin State invaded Chu year after year, it obtained a large area of Chu land. Now out of Wuguan, down to Danyang, that is, to Nanyang County, which belongs to Daqin.
"See Wanhou for humility! I also ask Marquis Wan to forgive the sin of being humble and armor and not being able to pay full courtesy. "A lord of two or five hundred saluted to the man at the front of the mission.
"Haha! The general has fulfilled his duties and defended such a majestic pass for my Great Qin, what is the crime? Wanhou waved his hand and laughed, not minding.
"Wanhou has trekked through mountains and rivers, and the lowly post has prepared a wine banquet for Wanhou to catch the wind and wash the dust, and please Wanhou move to eat with the humble." The two or five hundred lords said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"So General Law." Wanhou nodded in acknowledgment.
"Please!"
"Please!"
That night, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and after three rounds of drinking, Wanhou pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and said goodbye to the two or five hundred lords and returned to the room. As soon as he returned to the room, Wanhou paused drunkenly, and asked lightly towards a dark figure in the room with a calm face, "Is a qiē normal?" ”
"Normal!" The black shadow spoke in a hoarse voice, concise and to the point.
"It's better to be careful. Wu Guan Shou will be Brother Wang's person, and this time Brother Wang sent me to envoy Chu State, but he didn't have any good intentions. ”
"Whoa!" The black shadow answered and quietly retreated.
Wanhou looked at the black shadow that disappeared and smiled helplessly. The shadow guards sent to him by his father were really lumps of wood, guarding himself for as long as he could remember, but he was only responsible for protecting his own personal safety, and did not listen to any other orders.
"Father, father, do you know that your sons and daughters have had a very hard time." Wan Hou sighed silently in his heart.
Everyone in the world knows that he is Gongzi City, Wanhou, a high and powerful position, and the world changes color when he is angry, but no one knows his suffering, his helplessness, and his frightening steps under his dazzling vision.
Gongzi is the son of King Huiwen of Qin and the younger brother of King Wu of Qin. Wu Wanggui is the crown prince, and he will inherit the throne Gongzi City naturally has no opinion. But when King Wu was able to die for a while, there was a vacancy in the throne, and the one who should inherit the throne the most should be his son.
The cause of the matter is this, King Wu died too quickly and left no heirs. His biological mother, Huiwen, wanted to set up his son-in-law Zhuang as the king of Qin to preserve his position. Empress Dowager Xuan, of course, preferred her own son to wait for the throne, so she launched her son Gongzi City. At that time, the eldest son, Gongzi Jiyuan, was hostage in Yan Kingdom, and the youngest son, Gongzi Kui, was only ten years old, and Gongzi City, who was only fifteen years old, was more suitable.
At that time, Empress Dowager Xuan's younger brother Wei Ran held great power in the Qin State, and the result was naturally that Empress Dowager Xuan's side won. Just as Gongzi City was about to ascend the throne, King Zhao Wuling intervened sideways, interfered in Qin's internal affairs, and demanded that Gongziji, who he was optimistic about, be appointed as the king of Qin. The state of Zhao is strong, but the state of Qin is in harmony, and the defeated side of Huiwen is even more ready to move. Empress Dowager Xuan had no choice but to change Gongzi Ji to the king of Qin.
In this way, the throne in the hands of Childe City was taken away by the eldest brother Childe. There is a saying that makes sense, when you never have the opportunity to get something, you don't crave it much, but when you can touch something that you didn't dare to hope for before and you gain and lose it, your heart will become extremely unwilling.
Everyone is like this, and Childe City is not immune to vulgarity. The obsession with power, the loss of the throne made him unable to extricate himself. Ever since, a voice has been criing out in his heart, "That throne is mine!" It's mine! ”
Although Gongzi City accepted the arrangement of the Empress Dowager Xuan and was willing to abdicate, this did not mean that he was willing to submit to the arrangement of fate. Empress Dowager Xuan once said to herself that if Gongzi Ji was mediocre, she would support her to replace him. If this is the case, the brother and the brother will be staged in the Qin State again.
But Gongzi Ji is too smart and too virtuous. Gongzi City waited for 14 years, only waiting for the title of Wanhou. Then he looked forward to his brother's health not being good, and if Gongzi Ji died early, he still had a good chance to ascend to the throne. But in the following years, Brother Wang has been as healthy as ever, and the occasional minor illness only made Gongzi Shikong happy.
So, Childe decided not to wait any longer. He wants to learn from his other brother, Gongzi Zhuang, if he can't wait for what he wants, then take it!
As the King of Qin gradually came to power, his desire to pass on the throne to his eldest son became more and more obvious. Especially now, King Qin is twenty-two out of fifty, but he is still strong! This made Childe even more glad that he had planned so many years in advance.
Perhaps sensing the grievances of Gongzi City, King Qin became more and more wary of it. Many dangerous mission missions have to be completed by Gongzi City, just like the current trip to the Chu State. The past of Qin State's booby-trapping of King Huai is vivid, and a few years ago, there were even evil deeds of burning Yiling and flooding Yingdu, would the Chu people be so frivolous and ignore their past suspicions, and let go of their fighting to save Qin? !
Childe is skeptical of this. The enmity between Qin and Chu is so deep, and there are many unruly rangers in Chu, this trip to Chu will definitely not be smooth sailing, and there may be assassinations. What if his "good brother" sent assassins to murder him, and then blamed Chu Guo but pretended to forgive Chu Guo generously? Wouldn't he have become a victim of the restoration of the old friendship between the two countries in vain!
"In exchange for my life for the forgiveness of the State of Chu for the State of Qin, and in exchange for my death in exchange for the elimination of the crisis of the State of Qin, what a wonderful plan! It's just that I haven't realized that much yet! My good brother! Childe sighed silently, revealing a ruthless color.
"Mother, is this also your decision? Have you decided to give up on me too? Gongzi City suddenly burst into tears, he is also the biological son of the Queen Mother, why is the treatment so great. If you have to send Zonggui to envoy Chu State, why don't you send the son of King Qin?! Why even the beloved queen mother agrees with this.
King Qin's decision made Gongzi City can't help but think about the worst, that is, the queen mother has begun to support King Qin, intending to get rid of himself by taking advantage of the trip to Chu, after all, the trip to Chu is too dangerous.
In fact, Gongzi City really misunderstood King Qin and Empress Dowager Xuan this time. It was precisely because it was too important to send an envoy to the state of Chu that the king of Qin and the empress dowager Xuan thought of sending an important minister to show the importance that the state of Qin attached to the state of Chu.
The two of them have been ministers in the court, either old and frail, or their positions are not high, originally Gongzi Kui is more suitable, but he is more obsessed with military affairs, and no Gongzi City can speak well. The eldest son of the king of Qin happened to have an illness again, and it was not suitable for a long journey, so in desperation, he could only make it difficult for Gongzi Shi, who is the younger brother of the current king of Qin, to send an envoy to the state of Chu.
Regarding the dispute between King Qin and Gongzi City and Gongzi Kui, the Empress Dowager Xuan actually knew it clearly. I blamed myself for feeling that the Gongzi Municipal Party Committee was aggrieved at the time, and promised the inheritance system of my brother and brother. Who would have thought that King Qin's health was so good, and he was even more eloquent, which made Empress Dowager Xuan have no reason to help Gongzi take the throne. Seeing that Gongzishi will be fifty years old in two years, he will definitely be old when he succeeds to the throne. And the eldest son of King Qin, Zhu, is very popular with himself, and he is in the prime of life, so he is the best candidate for the crown prince.
As the folk proverb goes, the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of meat, and it hurts wherever you hit. No matter how powerful the Empress Dowager Xuan is, she is also a woman, she will be old, and she also cherishes family affection. Especially as Empress Dowager Xuan gets older and older, she wants to be in harmony more and more. For this reason, she reprimanded Wei Ran and Bai Qi, who had frequent contacts with Gongzi City, and delayed the matter of Lichu again and again, and it was best to drag it until Gongzi City was completely dead.
But Empress Dowager Xuan underestimated the hearts of the people and underestimated Gongzi's desire for power. Although Gongzishi and Wei Ran and Bai Qi are no longer friendly on the surface, and even sometimes quarrel in the court due to conflicting opinions, but secretly the three of them are still in the same relationship.
For this trip to the Chu State, Gongzi City showed compliance, and actually had a different plan in his heart.
