Chapter 162: A New King

The delicate Suzaku Palace lamp burned quietly in the hall, dripping a little oil beads from time to time to make a 'snort' sound, which was particularly quiet against the background of the dim light.

Su E walked out of the palace gate with her head down and a food plate, opened the bead curtain, but looked up and saw a man suddenly appear outside the door. I couldn't help but be startled in my heart, and suddenly my hand shook and the food plate fell, and I wanted to scream when I opened my mouth. After seeing the man's appearance clearly, he covered his mouth with his hands and forcibly did not shout.

Han Xin took a step forward and stretched out his left hand to catch the falling food plate steadily, and put his right hand to his lips to make a silent gesture. Su'e patted her chest in shock, glared at Han Xinjiao and said angrily; "General, you are determined to scare the slave to death, right?"

Han Xin and Ying Ke are in love with each other, and naturally often go in and out of the court, as Ying Ke's personal maid, they are naturally very familiar with Han Xin. Han Xin is lazy and easy-going outside of government affairs, and he has no quarrel with these palace people and subordinates of the same age, and over time, the maids in Huayang Hall are very close to Han Xin.

However, Han Xin was not in the mood to joke today, he looked down at the intact soup on the food plate, and said with Zou eyebrows; "Hasn't the princess eaten all day today?"

Seeing Han Xin's heavy face, Su E didn't dare to laugh with him, and replied in a low voice: "Back to the general, the princess is still depressed today and has not eaten. When the slave saw that the princess had not eaten dinner, she wanted to withdraw for the time being, and later change some light porridge to be served, perhaps the princess would have some appetite. ”

"You're bothered." Han Xin was silent for a while, and then said; "She still won't see me?"

Su E pursed her lips and glanced quickly at the hall, then said in a low voice; "The princess said she couldn't see anyone, especially you. I've said good things for you, but I can't help it. ”

Han Xin smiled at her, "Okay, I see." You go down first, I'll leave it to me. ”

"But......" Su E saw that Han Xin was going in, and she was worried that she would be blamed for winning, so she hurriedly blocked in front of her, but Han Xin was squeezed in by Han Xin as soon as she saw it. He didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he had to stamped his feet at him, gritted his teeth and turned away.

There was only one oil lamp lit in the inner hall, and the dim light reflected the thin figure sitting on the bed with his knees crossed, which looked particularly pitiful. Ying Ke heard someone walk in, and looked up slightly, his eyes were red and swollen, obviously crying for a long time. Seeing that it was Han Xin, his eyes couldn't help but be a little confused, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Han Xin saw that Ying Ke was still wearing the red wedding dress he wore at yesterday's wedding, and although there was a stove in the house, Ying Ke still couldn't stop trembling slightly. Han Xinxin couldn't help but feel distressed, gently put down the food plate on the table, slowly walked to the side of the bed, and put a blanket on behalf of Yingke.

Ying Ke's delicate body trembled, but he did not refuse, still holding his knees and bowing his head without saying a word.

Han Xin smiled slightly bitterly, since returning to Xianyang Palace yesterday, he passed outside the Huayang Palace several times, but was told by the palace people that Ying Ke did not want to see anyone. To be honest, he didn't know how to face Ying Ke in his heart, so he just wandered outside the palace and sighed and left, until today he got a report from the palace people, saying that Ying Ke had not eaten for a day and a night, so he was relieved to come on purpose.

sighed slightly in my heart, thinking that the ultimate thing that should come is to come, and sooner or later we have to face it, what is the difference between morning and evening. If you can't untie the knot in your heart, how will you get along with her in the future.

Han Xin sat next to Ying Ke and was silent for a long time before speaking; "I'm sorry."

Hearing Han Xin's words, Ying Ke's eyes couldn't help but turn red, tears couldn't stop flowing, and the delicate body lying on his knees trembled for a while, and finally couldn't help crying.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry for you, don't embarrass yourself. You haven't eaten for a day and a half, and your body won't be able to stand it if you don't eat again. ”

Han Xin saw that Ying Ke still refused to say a word, just lowered his head and choked, so he reached out to catch her Rou Yi. Win Ke shook it off violently, raised his head and his red and swollen pretty eyes widened, grabbed his fist and smashed it at Han Xin, crying; "Why are you doing this to me, why."

"I gave you all my things, I will do whatever you say, I will give you whatever you want, why don't you let go of Ziying, he is my only relative in this world, why can't you tolerate him!"

Han Xin bit his lip tightly, and just pulled Ying Ke into his arms with all his might, letting her thump her chest. Win can toss in Han Xin's arms for a while, and finally exhausted and stopped struggling. She had been sleepless for a day and a night, and she was already exhausted, but now she was leaning on Han Xin's broad chest, and she suddenly felt a lot more relieved, and she gradually fell asleep.

Han Xin looked at Ying Ke who was breathing evenly in his arms, and looked at the tears that still remained on her pretty face, and his heart was full of pity and apology.

Ying Ke was originally just a proud daughter of the sky who did not understand the world, and she was spoiled and spoiled by her father and brother since she was a child, but when she was seventeen years old, she saw her father forced to death by Zhao Gao. Then the brothers and sisters were punished one after another, the Ying family was almost cut off, and the Qin State was also in danger, and the burden of the entire Qin State and the entire Ying family fell on the shoulders of a weak woman. Finally got through it, and when everything seemed to be better, on her wedding day, blood was splattered on the spot, and her only relative was killed by her own husband.

When she heard the news of Ziying's death, she was suddenly discouraged, she wanted to die, but she was unwilling to leave like this, she wanted to hear her beloved admit to killing Ziying herself, so that she could be disheartened and die like Ziying.

But when Han Xin really stood in front of her, she found that she couldn't hold the slightest hatred for the man in front of her. From the acquaintance three years ago, to the trust of her heart, and then to the life and death of each other, she has already given a heart to Han Xin.

Qin Nu is amorous, if she is entrusted by her heart, she will be with her for the rest of her life. In Ying Ke's heart, Han Xin has long surpassed the family affection of the Ying family, and has already surpassed the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qin State, he is her man, and she will support him unconditionally in whatever he does. But Ziying's death made her feel unprecedented fear, and she suddenly thought about whether Han Xin would just use her, all these feelings were just a mirror, and it was just her wishful thinking.

But when she snuggled in Han Xin's arms, she was suddenly relieved. What is the Qin State of the Winning Family, what is the hatred of the country and the family, all of them have become insignificant, and only the feeling of relying on the arms of the beloved man in front of them is the most real. She gradually fell asleep, and fell into a deep sleep.

She had a dream all night and a sweet smile on her lips. seems to have returned to the carefree little princess who was happy under her father's knees, and the most important thing every day is just how to dress up a more novel and shocking makeup.

When she woke up, it was already bright, and her neck couldn't help but ache after lying on her stomach all night, so she gently moved her shoulders. This move woke up Han Xin, who was resting with his eyes closed, and he opened his eyes and looked at Ying Kedao with a smile; "Wake up."

Win Ke turned his head sideways, and just said a simple "grace".

Han Xin slept very badly this night, afraid of waking up Ying Ke has been maintaining this posture, Ying Ke in his arms is crying and laughing in his sleep, like a restless kitten, he does not dare to be distracted at any time, until it is close to dawn Han Xin leaned on the bed rail and fell asleep, but was woken up by Ying Ke's gentle struggle.

Han Xin looked at Ying Ke and said softly; "Ke'er, don't be uncomfortable, this is really an accident, I never thought of killing Your Majesty."

Ying Ke raised his head, looked directly at Han Xin with bright eyes, and said; "I just need you to answer me a question."

"Yes."

"Did you kill the child?"

Han Xin shook his head slowly, "It's not me. ”

"Is that my cousin?"

"It's not." Han Xin said in a calm tone; "I said that it was just an accident, and my original plan was to send His Majesty back to the palace, but I didn't expect him to be so strong that he would draw his sword and kill himself. It was I who underestimated him and the majesty of King Qin. ”

Ying Ke just stared at Han Xin, nodded for a long time, and said; "Okay, I believe you, as long as you say it, I will believe it."

Han Xin felt a wave of guilt in his confidence, and said; "Kerr, I'm sorry......"

Ying Ke's long eyelashes trembled slightly, but he slowly shook his head; "It's not your fault, in fact, I already knew that he wanted to attack you, I didn't dare to tell you, I just desperately begged him to persuade him. Later, when I saw that he was so attentive to our wedding, and praised you in front of me, I thought he was willing to live in peace with you, who .....knows."

Ying Ke gently leaned on Han Xin's chest and whispered softly; "It's not your fault, you're just protecting yourself, I can't be so selfish and let you be caught."

"It's no wonder that Ziying, he is the King of Qin, and many things are not what he wants to do, but the identity of the King of Qin makes him angry. If he was just a muddy man, he might be willing to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth in the palace, but unfortunately he was not. Actually, I've been running away, always thinking that you will always use each other to contain each other, and no one will leave me, but I was wrong. There can only be one king in the Qin State, either you or him, and there is no other possibility. ”

Han Xin sighed, "My greatest wish is to be able to cross the territory, sweep away the Kwantung princes for the Qin State, and defeat Xiang Yu with my own hands." King Qin is just a dispensable position for me, I just hope that there are no people in the Qin Kingdom who can restrain me from moving forward. It's a pity that he can't tolerate me. ”

Ying Ke raised his head slightly, looked at Han Xin and said; "Then what are you going to do, do you want to be the king of Qin?"

Han Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I want to find a young child from the Ying clan branch to be the King of Qin." ”

Ying Ke suddenly smiled, "Brother Han, if you did this because you were afraid of me, then you don't have to." The rules of our Qin people, marrying and obeying their husbands, have nothing to do with the rights and wealth of their mother's family. I'm already your wife, you don't have to think about me. Ziying is dead, the winning heir has been severed, and my friendship with the Ying family has also ended, if you are interested in King Qin, I will do my best to help. ”

Han Xin touched Ying Ke's bun with some distress, and was moved in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Ke'er, I don't want to be this King of Qin yet." You have been the Qin monarch for more than 700 years, and my foreign surname is rash, and it is in such a sensitive period as His Majesty's death, which will definitely provoke a rebellion in the country. Since all I want is the right to make decisions, this King of Qin is a dispensable thing for me, so it is better to make your Ying clan king, so that I can also appease the world. ”

Win Ke "En" and nodded, "Then who do you want to set up?" ”

"I plan to let Gao Yangjun's youngest son win Yiji, he is eight years old this year, and he is the fifth grandson of King Xiaowen, and he happens to be His Majesty's son and nephew. You can let him succeed to His Majesty as his stepson, and he will take over as King of Qin, what do you think? ”

Ying Ke hesitated slightly, "I've seen this kid Yingyi, he is really well-behaved, Gao Yangjun is also a gentle and obedient person, and he won't interfere too much in the government and politics in the future, which is a good choice." ”

"And you agreed?"

"Well, it's good if you have an idea."

Han Xin nodded, "Then as long as Meng Jian nods, it's fine." After speaking, he looked at the sky and said; Ke'er, it's almost morning, you go back to sleep first, and I'll come to you after the morning. ”

Ying Ke said: "I'll go to the early dynasty with you, it will be better if I'm here at this time, after all, my status as a prisoner has not been canceled." ”

"Okay, then you can change your clothes."

"Nope." Ying Ke shook his head and refused, "I'll wear this, I want everyone to know." I am your wife, and I am only on your side. ”

On the sixth day of the 11th month of the third year of the Great Qin II, the first early dynasty after the death of Prince Qin began in silence.

Ziying ascended the throne after Hu Hai's death in February, and the Tao is now only nine months for the monarch, and it is not even too late to change the Yuan system, so he died violently in November of the same year, and he still uses the second emperor Hu Hai until his death.

After yesterday's deliberations among the ministers, the name of Ziying has been positioned as "愍", and he has been called King Qin Shu in the Taimiao. Contained in the Zhou ceremony, he was worried in the country; In the country, it is difficult to say that it is sorrowful; These three sentences very appropriately summarize the helplessness and hardship of Ziying's life. The child was originally buried in the first emperor's eastern tomb, echoing with the Qinyin King Fusu in the western tomb, and the father and son guarded the first emperor on the left and on the right.

Wang Jing's confession did calm down the indignant Qin people temporarily, in fact, most of the Qin officials of some grades knew that it was Ziying who wanted to get rid of Han Xin first, and Han Xin was just forced to resist and defend himself. As for the cause of Ziying's death, it was indeed suicide, and with Wang Jing, a high-ranking and powerful general, to take the blame, the restless mood of the Qin people was gradually calmed down.

The most urgent issue at the moment is to appoint a new monarch, which is the top priority of the Qin State.

The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the children have no heirs left, so the establishment of a monarch has just become a key issue discussed in the court.

When the Win Ke in a happy suit proposed that Win Yi succeed to Ziying to take over the throne, most of them were confused and at a loss, most of them had never seen Win Yi, and they didn't know where this person was sacred.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Han Xin, knowing that he was the one who came up with this idea, and he set up a side child as the monarch, which was nothing more than bullying him to be young and easy to control.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him for a while, Han Xin naturally guessed their thoughts, and couldn't help but look at Meng Jian, who was leading on the left, knowing that he was the absolute right to speak.

Meng Jian's ability to come to the early dynasty was already beyond Han Xin's expectations, and the Tianshi army that was ambushed outside Xianyang City the day before yesterday rushed into Xianyang with the cooperation of the inside and outside, and finally took the entire Xianyang without bloodshed. Meng Jian, who was sitting in Xianyang at the time, was arrested, and Tian Shi did not dare to hurt her, but only locked him in a secret room in Xianyang, and Han Xin did not release him until yesterday when the situation stabilized. Originally, Han Xin expected that according to Meng Jian's character, he would definitely use the protest method of boycotting the court to express his dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect Meng Jian to come to the court meeting on purpose.

Meng Jian seemed to sense that Han Xin was looking at him, raised his head and looked at him, the two looked at each other, and finally Han Xin gently looked away.

Just when there was a dead silence in the court, and the ministers protested with silence to be dissatisfied with the death of the child, Meng Jian suddenly stood up. He staggered out of the ranks of the courtiers, walked to the center and bowed down to meet everyone's eyes, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"The minister thinks that Yingyi is obedient and filial piety, intelligent and intelligent, and is indeed the first choice to succeed the king of Qin, and the minister agrees with the proposal of the eldest princess and is willing to support Yingyi as the new king."

With Meng Jian's statement, this resolution was naturally passed at the court meeting very quickly, and it was decided to establish Yingyi as the king of Qin, respect Princess Yingke of Huayang as the princess of the prison country, act as the son of heaven, and weigh the system in the dynasty to create a new dynasty.

Then, in the incomprehensible eyes of everyone, Meng Jian submitted his resignation again, saying that he was getting older and his foot disease was getting worse, and asked to resign from his position and beg his bones to return to his hometown to recuperate.

Ying Ke looked at Meng Jian's gray hair, remembered his staggering steps when he walked just now, and suddenly realized that this old man was over the age of six, and he had already contributed his life to the Qin State, and had been conscientiously guarding the Qin State of the Ying family. Even when the Ying clan was at its bleakest and most hopeless, he still maintained the orthodoxy of King Qin to the letter. When Han Xin was almost single-handedly covering the sky in the Qin State, he was the only one who led a group of civilian officials to confront the military general group alone, desperately guarding the foundation of the Qin State for 700 years.

But now that even he is dead, and he has proposed to retire, is it true that the Ying family is really exhausted. Thinking of winning here, I couldn't help but have red eyes, and persuaded softly; "Prime Minister, you are highly respected and the head of a hundred officials, and you can be described as a hard worker for my Great Qin, if you are really unwell, you might as well recuperate at home for a period of time, and then go to court when your body is better, how about it?"

Meng Jian shook his head and said; "Princess Xie Taichang's good intentions, people say that fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and the minister is already nine out of fifty this year, and he already knows that this old bone can't support it for a few years, and I hope that the eldest princess will miss me and let me go back to my hometown, and the old man also wants to teach his children and grandchildren and enjoy a few years of family fun."
