The hall was suddenly extremely quiet, and everyone held their breath and looked at Prince Qin, who was splashed with blood. At this time, there was a commotion outside the palace gate, and Li Zuoche, who was dressed in court clothes, also strode in, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

Li Zuoche was awarded the title of Guanglu doctor, so he was also among the hundred officials who came to congratulate him. When Wang Jing's department was killed in the side hall, he immediately took over the command, and still locked the hundred officials in the side hall in the name of King Qin, and then according to Han Xin's deployment, he quickly conveyed the military orders out of Yongcheng, and rushed to the main hall to discuss with Han Xin, but he didn't expect to see this scene.

Regicide! This is an extremely shocking thing for anyone. The emperor died and said that the landslide, the mountain and rock collapsed and the world still changed, not to mention the death of the Son of Heaven.

Han Xin realized that something was wrong when Ziying drew his sword, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but because he was too far away, he was still a step too late. Squatting next to Ziying, I saw that the wound on the neck was extremely deep, and there was no breath between the mouth and nose, and I couldn't live. Han Xin turned around and looked at Wang Jing, and both saw the panic and panic in the other party's eyes.

The original plan was that Ziying didn't have to die at all, after all, the Qin State still needed him, the King of Qin, as a cover, and Han Xin also needed to order millions of soldiers and civilians in the Qin State with his orders. He just wanted to wipe out Ziying's henchmen, and then falsely claimed that Ziying's old illness had recurred, and he no longer bothered to ask questions.

didn't expect that the son of the usually gentle and deacon was so strong, and he obviously had a choice of life, but he died and martyred the country, which made Han Xin and Wang Jing can't help but have a trace of respect for him.

After all, Ziying is the grandson of the First Emperor after all, and the domineering and fierceness of King Qin for seven hundred years have already been deeply integrated into his blood.

It is better to be broken than to be complete. Since you have no power to return to heaven, it is better to die and die for the country!

The Ying clan has withered away in the hands of Hu Hai. Zhou Li said that the three generations are for the relatives, and the four generations are for the middle, from the King of Zhuangxiang to the first emperor, and then the Suhuhai generation and finally to the child, a total of four generations.

Zhuang Xiang Wang Yisheng had two sons, namely Yingzheng and Cheng Qiao, after Ying Zheng ascended the throne, Cheng Qiao was disgruntled, and then colluded with Zhao to rebel by leading the army to attack Zhao, and after the failure, he was punished by Ying Zheng for his mother and young son, and his vein was cut off.

The First Emperor was originally flourishing and had more than 20 children, but the mediocre Hu Hai listened to Zhao Gao's slander and killed all his hands and feet. Because Ziying had been with Hu Hai when he was young, Hu Hai let go of this nephew because of his family affection, which left incense for the Ying family. It's a pity that Ziying originally had two sons, but he was brutally killed by the Zhao Cheng rebels who attacked later in the Xianyang Revolution.

By the time the child died, the bloodline of King Qin had been completely cut off. If you want to find other branches of the winning surname, but there are already four generations apart, whether in terms of etiquette or clan, except for the same surname, everyone else can be regarded as an outsider, and they are not eligible to inherit the family business.

In fact, Ziying does have too much helplessness and unwillingness in his life, he has no intention of the throne but was forced by Zhao Gaoqiang to ascend to the supreme position, he is not a faint monarch but wants to be the king of the dead country. The Ying family has been cut off, even if the new monarch is still surnamed Ying, sooner or later he will follow the example of the Tian family and be replaced by the ministers.

has a heart for the country, but has no power to return to heaven, this seems to be the best portrayal of the tragic life of the child.

Han Xin and Wang Jing looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

In any case, Ziying's death was an accident, an accident that Han Xin had not planned, so he would panic and be distracted in a hurry. In addition to worrying about the reaction of the Qin State, Han Xin also had to consider the feelings of another person - that is, Winke.

She has done too much for him, and she has given up too much for him, but now she received the death of the last flesh and blood relative on the wedding day, and she can support it after four years of strength.

Wang Jing saw that Han Xin's face was gloomy, and guessed what he was thinking, so he ordered in a low voice; "All stand down, don't make a noise for the time being without my order."

More than a thousand armor soldiers retreated from the hall like a tide, Li Zuoche hesitated, and originally wanted to retreat, but Han Xin gave him a look, and he stopped and stood far away.

In the empty hall, only the three Han Xin and the corpse of Ziying on the ground were left. Wang Jing closed the door of the palace, turned to look directly at Han Xin, and said in a deep voice; "Well, this is the end of the matter, it is useless to think about it, now we have to find a way to solve the problem at hand."

"Ke'er and the ministers are in the side hall, we can't lock them up for the rest of our lives, they will know about the king's death sooner or later, now we have to make an idea."

Speaking of this, Wang Jing stopped and looked directly at Han Xin: "You have always had no last resort, now don't tell me that you can't help it." ”

Han Xin reacted from the panic at this time, and he forced himself to think about it calmly and carefully before he said slowly; "The death of the king is indeed unexpected by me, but the current situation is not too bad, Yongcheng is in our hands, and they should have succeeded in Tianshi on the other side of Xianyang, we can at least stabilize the situation temporarily."

"There are three things we have to do." Han Xin stretched out three fingers, "First of all, we must stabilize the army." Yongcheng is in our hands, Tianshi has taken control of Xianyang, Qiu Shi has gone to Beiying, and Zhao Wuji is in Nanying. Yulin is Wang Qi's old department, only listen to his orders, your uncle is an old fox, he will never interfere rashly. Mengshi went to Beidi County, Hanzhong was the army of my cronies left, Longxi County was the county lieutenant Xi Da presided over military affairs, Yingbu and Huangfugui were stationed in Bashang, Xishui, and Lantian, even if there was any change in the garrisons of Hangu and Wuguan, it was expected that there would be no turmoil. ”

"So we only need to do two things as a matter of urgency, one is that we must support the new monarch as soon as possible, and I must reach a consensus with Meng Jian and them. And the last point, which is also the hardest to do. ”

Han Xin paused for a moment, and clenched his fingers, "We must give an explanation to the Qin people, the king is the king of Qin after all, even if he is wrong, we are still courtiers, but now that he is dead, we are still here." ”

Wang Jing said angrily: "But he wants to kill you first, isn't this reason enough?" ”

Han Xin squinted at him, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." It's not that you don't understand Qin Law, if he wants to kill me, I only have to wait to be killed. If the king were still here, I could do whatever I wanted in his name, but now that he's dead, that's a problem. ”

After speaking, the two of them were silent for a while, and Wang Jing realized the seriousness of the situation. In the current situation, even if Han Xin firmly controls the army, without the cooperation of the ministers and ministers, even if Han Xin relies on the army to force them to compromise, it is only a matter of time before the Qin State falls apart.

Li Zuoche's face moved slightly, raised his head and glanced at Han Xin deeply. A hint of vigilance suddenly flashed in Wang Jing's eyes, and he opened his mouth to ask Han Xin; "And what are your plans?"

Han Xin just looked at Ziying's corpse, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Wang Jing ask; "What else can I do, I am ready to resign as a lieutenant, get rid of all titles and fiefs, and only retain the rank of general. You take over the national lieutenant and sit in Xianyang to stabilize the situation, while I temporarily avoid the edge and go to Shangjun to prepare for the southern invasion of the Xiongnu. ”

"As for the candidate for the King of Qin, I plan to select a young person from the far branch to serve as the fifth grandson of King Xiaowen, Yingyi, who is eight years old this year, and is the cousin of His Majesty, and can be succeeded to His Majesty as a stepson, and he will inherit the throne, and the princess will still supervise the country."

Han Xin didn't notice that when he finished saying this, Wang Jing's tense expression instantly eased a lot.

He was actually faintly worried in his heart, worried that Han Xin would make him and the entire Wang family a scapegoat. It wasn't until Han Xin finished speaking that he was relieved. But he felt very guilty, Han Xin treated him so sincerely, but he was suspicious.

Wang Jing lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly made up his mind, looked up at Han Xin and said; "No, I don't think it's right for you to do that."

Han Xin was stunned for a moment, he had always been accustomed to Wang Jing obeying him, and it was the first time he said 'no' to him, so he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" It's the best I can think of. ”

Wang Jing shook his head and said; "I'm not intriguing in the court, I'm a rough man, I don't know anything but to fight, you might as well kill me if you let me be a national captain. I know what you're trying to say, you're trying to say that no one else is qualified except me, right? But this is not the best choice, have you ever thought that when Your Majesty died, people's hearts were already unstable, but you were demoted from Xianyang at this time, what do you let the people who follow you think? It is not impossible for people to go to tea and cool. ”

"Also, do you think you're just resigning as lieutenant and letting me take over, so that you can silence the opposition of the ministers? You are wrong, something big has happened, someone must come out to take responsibility, someone must come out to calm the anger, and I have already helped you find this person. ”

Han Xin was stunned, "Who?" ”

Wang Jing glanced at him and said calmly; "Me."

Han Xin's pupils dilated instantly, staring at Wang Jing and saying slowly; "You know what kind of person I am, why do you want to say such things to tempt me, do you need to use this between you and me?"

Wang Jing suddenly laughed, "I didn't test you, I'm telling the truth, don't you think there is no one more suitable than me to be guilty of killing the king?" First of all, this operation is an important part of me, so I can also stop the ministers by taking the blame, and then I am qualified. You must know that I am also the Great Sima General, the Marquis of Wu Qiang, and my status is not inferior to you, and I am still the head of the Wang family, unless I am willing, no one can force me to do anything. The soldiers of Yongcheng are all my personal soldiers, and the king died in Yongcheng, I can say that the king wants to kill you, so I took it upon myself to raise troops to persuade me, but the king misunderstood that he wanted to kill the king, so he committed suicide and martyrdom. In this case, they will only suspect that I have forced the king to death, and will not point the finger at you. ”

Han Xin just shook his head, "You don't have to say it, I naturally have a way, this matter has nothing to do with you, it was all planned by me alone." ”

Wang Jing smiled, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade me." Since we are brothers, we naturally have to be innocent, there is the best way, why not use the best way, don't forget that you are not just alone, there are so many brothers who follow you and swear to serve you, if something happens to you, how can they deal with themselves? ”

Han Xin wanted to say more, but he heard Li Zuoche, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly cough lightly a few times, planning to talk between the two. Li Zuoche smiled wryly, and arched his hand to Han Xin; "General, in fact, the young general is right, if you are not in Xianyang, we may not be able to stabilize the court, and sooner or later there will be changes. Do you think that if you take responsibility, the other ministers will willingly accept this outcome? You underestimate them too much, and I think it's more likely that after you confessed your sin, they took the opportunity to rush up and completely crush us, so that you never have a chance to turn over. ”

"In all fairness, what the Major General said is indeed the best solution at the moment, and now is not the time to be rash. It's okay to abandon the car to protect the handsome. As long as you are still in the day, the heaven of this Qin country will not change hands. It is the best way to do it, both in public and private. ”

Wang Jing nodded when he heard this, "He's right, that's what I meant." ”

Han Xin showed hesitation, looked at Wang Jing and said; "Do you know what the crime of killing a king is? That's the crime of stealing your family and destroying your family, how can you do it. ”

Wang Jing said with a smile; "I'm from Qin, so I naturally know better than you. But I believe that you must have a way to keep the Wang family, if you don't even have this ability, then you are not Han Xin. ”

Han Xin closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and only opened his eyes and looked at Wang Jing and said; "Okay, at most, I can only keep the Wang family from being implicated, you were demoted to a concubine, have you really thought it through?"

Wang Jing laughed and laughed; "I can still save my life, so it's really good, but it's good, just when I Wang Jing grabbed the treasury in advance and put the horse in Nanshan. Anyway, I've already tasted the taste of a very human minister, and it turns out that it's just like that, so it's better to return to the hometown in advance and enjoy the rich man, how about it? ”

After saying that, he laughed and slammed the door and left, but he didn't let Han Xin see the loneliness on his face that could not be concealed. Making contributions on the battlefield is Wang Jing's lifelong pursuit, but now he wants to leave the cause he regards as more important than his life early, and his heart is dead.

But he had no resentment, he chose the road himself, and no one forced him. He also didn't want Han Xin to see his hesitation and weakness, his life was all given by Han Xin, and what else could not be given up for him.

One person, two brothers, this is what Han Xin once said to him. In the most critical and difficult time, Han Xin never gave up on his brother, what else did he have to complain about, wasn't it fame and fortune?

Han Xin looked at Wang Jing's departing back, lowered his head and was silent.

"Congratulations, my lord, from now on, no one in the Qin Kingdom can stop you from occupying the magpie's nest." Li Zuoche chuckled lightly and slowly walked forward: "Isn't this exactly what you want?" Why should you be a woman? ”

Li Zuoche was different from the others, he didn't think that he had taken refuge in the Qin State, so when there were no outsiders, he always called Han Xin the lord of the prince.

Han Xin looked at him and said lightly; "What do you mean?"

Li Zuoche smiled again and said; "Originally, I thought that you were just a general, if you were not ruthless enough about the emperor's skills, you were always bound by meaningless feelings, but fortunately, your talent made up for your shortcomings, and always allowed you to find the middle way. Now it seems that I underestimated you, if my expectation is correct, Wang Jing's statement is exactly what you expected, right? ”

Han Xin looked sideways at him, "Oh?"

"You deliberately provoked Wang Jing to come out willingly to confess, and the effect is much better than if you said it directly. Wang Jing is an upright person, if you treat each other with sincerity, he will repay the favor. ”

Han Xin stared at Li Zuoche tightly. Speak; "People who are too smart may not end well, and as a qualified subordinate, it may not be a good thing to be too good at figuring out the Lord's intentions."

Li Zuoche smiled and arched his hand: "Zuoche has been taught, and he will definitely not dare in the future." I have to say that the lord is still not decisive enough, if Wang Jing can be willing to die for such a major matter, it will definitely be the best solution, but you are trying to save his life, which will leave a tongue for the people of the Manchu Dynasty. But you do this to make me feel a lot more at ease, it seems that you are a benevolent lord, it is still good to be your subordinate, at least you don't have to worry about being crossed by you to cross the river and tear down the bridge. ”

Han Xin smiled faintly, "You are very smart, but you are only half right." ”

Li Zuoche was originally very proud, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and blurted out to ask; "Why?"

Han Xin looked at Ziying's body, which was slowly stiffening, and sighed and said; "This is really unexpected by me, I did think of letting Jing Shao take responsibility, but I just thought about it, if he didn't take the initiative to ask for it, I wouldn't force it on him. The fact is very simple, there must be someone between me and him who bears the responsibility of killing the king, it is not him who is me, and the choice is up to him. If he doesn't want to, then I'll go. ”

"Well, I've got your curiosity satisfied. Next, it is time for us to clean up the aftermath and order the bell to be rung to announce the death of His Majesty. ”

"No."

The death of Prince Qin shocked the entire Qin country, and the Qin people, who were still immersed in the joy of the big wedding just now, were stunned for a moment, and hastily replaced the red festive thing with a piece of white. Within four years, three Qin kings had already died, and the Qin people, who had seen the hope of ZTE, couldn't help but feel panicked.

The most direct impact of Ziying's death was the anger of the hundred officials, and more than 600 officials flocked to the gate of Xianyang Palace that day, waving their fists and shouting loudly to demand that the murderer of the monarch be investigated. Gradually, the children of the family and civilians joined the team, and even a large number of soldiers also put down their weapons to join them, and a team of nearly 10,000 people gathered outside the Xianyang Palace for a while, and new people continued to pour in to join.

Soon, an explanation of the circumstances of the child's death was already coming out, and it was announced to the world through a document.

The king of Qin wanted to punish Han Xin, the marquis of Wuxin, to seize power, but Wang Jing, the marquis of Wugong, raised troops to attack the palace gate without authorization to dissuade him, and the king of Qin was frightened, thinking that the world was against him, so he drew his sword and killed himself.

Wang Jing was deprived of his post as General Sima for the crime of killing the monarch and rebelling, and was arrested and imprisoned, waiting for the new king to ascend the throne before dealing with it. Because Wang Qi did not know in advance, he did not pursue his hard work, but only ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, and not to go out without permission.
