Chapter 15 Three questions about Yingzheng, the heart of a king
In the silent night, there was silence in the Wusui camp.
In the tent, facing Yingzheng's doubts.
Ye Qianqiu asked Ying Zheng rhetorically: "The king thinks, why did I choose to enter the Qin State with the king." ”
Ying Zheng said: "Isn't it just that Mr. also wants to enter Qin?" ”
Ye Qianqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "I've always been used to being alone, even if I enter Qin, I don't need to walk with the king." ”
Ying Zheng is also a smart person, Ye Qianqiu said this, Ying Zheng understood a little, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Mr. Fei chose to enter Qin at this time because of his widowhood?" ”
Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "That's true, if it weren't for King Qin's sudden appearance in Xinzheng, I'm afraid I wouldn't have entered Qin so quickly." ”
"The king may not know, but I have a rough understanding of people's faces."
"When I first saw the king, I noticed that the king's face was extraordinary, and it was the face of a true king."
"Therefore, I want to walk with the king, and take this opportunity to take a closer look at my skills of observing people's faces, whether they are allowed or not."
Ying Zheng said: "Oh? What does that gentleman think now? ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "The tiger's mouth, the sun horn, and the big eyes, all of them are the appearance of great wealth and nobility. ”
"And the most important thing is the sun angle, the middle part of the king's forehead is bulging, the shape is like the Japanese character, this face is also called the Fuxi bone."
"The king has a rare Fuxi bone in the world, and he is destined to dominate the world, become an emperor through the ages, and establish an immortal cause."
"However, good things are many tribulations, and all those who have achieved great things in the world have all experienced tribulations."
"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the overlords of the past dynasties, which one did not go through hardships to achieve hegemony."
"Gongzi Xiaobai fled to Ju when he was young, and when he returned to China, he was shot by Guan Zhong with an arrow, if it wasn't for Xiaobai pretending to fall to the ground and die, how could he be the later Duke of Qi Huan."
"Duke Wen of Jin has been displaced for half his life, and after all kinds of hardships, he got the support of Qin Mugong before returning to the Jin Kingdom and becoming a generation of heroes."
"Yue Wang Goujian has tasted all kinds of experiences, so it is needless to say, presumably the king also knows."
"Now, among the seven kingdoms, the Qin State is the strongest, and an unprecedented opportunity to unify the world is placed in front of the king."
"It's just that the time is not ripe yet, so why should the king be in a hurry."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "What Mr. said doesn't seem to correspond to what I asked. ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "I have three questions, I don't know if the king can answer them?" ”
Ying Zheng became interested and said, "Sir, just ask." ”
Ye Qianqiu said: "Qin Xiang Lu Buwei and Wang Shang, who is older?" ”
Ying Zheng heard Ye Qianqiu ask such a simple question, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he still replied: "The middle father is over half a hundred years old, and the widow has not yet reached the crown, so naturally the widow is young, and the middle father is old." ”
Ye Qianqiu nodded with a smile, and continued to ask: "Since Lu Buwei became the prime minister of the Qin State, has the national strength of the Qin State declined?" ”
Ying Zheng shook his head and said: "Since the middle father became the prime minister of the Qin State, he led the troops to destroy the Eastern Zhou State, and took the land of Zhao State and Wei State, and set up Sanchuan County, Taiyuan County, and Dong County respectively. ”
"The treasury is full, the grain depot is full, Zheng Guoqu uses a lot of manpower and material resources, and Qin is also at ease, and once Zheng Guoqu is completed, Guanzhong will be a thousand miles of fertile soil."
"The national strength of the Qin State has not only not declined, but has become stronger."
Ye Qianqiu said again: "Then has the king ever heard the story of Zheng Zhuang digging the ground to see his mother?" ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Zhuang Gong was angry because his mother Jiang supported Gongshu Duan's rebellion, and he was placed in Yingcheng, swearing that he would not be as good as Huangquan and would not see each other!"
Afterwards, he regretted it very much, after Uncle Ying Kao knew, he wittily proposed the method of "digging the ground and spring, and then meeting", and in the tunnel, finally Zhuang Gong and his mother Jiang were able to meet. ”
Ye Qianqiu bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I have already asked all three questions, if Wang Shangruo still feels that he is alone?" ”
Ying Zheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard Ye Qianqiu ask like this.
He is also a smart person, and in an instant, he understood the reason why Ye Qianqiu asked him these three questions.
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly, and continued: "A leaf is blind, and you can't see Mount Tai. ”
"There are two sides to everything."
"The reason why the king has so many troubles today is because the king only looks at one side and wants to go against the trend."
"When the general trend is not on your side, the most important thing is not to think about how to bring down the other party, but to choose to fill yourself, prepare for the momentum, and when the time comes, everything will go smoothly."
"The king is not yet in the age of a weak crown, and the most important thing at the moment is not to think about how to get the supreme kingship."
"The most important thing at the king's moment is nothing more than two words."
Ying Zheng said: "Which two words? ”
Ye Qianqiu said: "Gather momentum." ”
"Momentum?"
Ying Zheng chewed these two words carefully.
"Dare to ask sir, how to build momentum?"
Ying Zheng said again.
Ye Qianqiu said: "From the inside out, cultivate its body inside, and cultivate its momentum outside." ”
"Cultivate your body inside, and cultivate your momentum outside?"
Ying Zheng muttered these eight words again.
Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "Whether the king is alone or not depends on whether he has the heart of a king. ”
"The heart of a king is inclusive and can tolerate the things of the world."
"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, whether it is governing the country, or the sophistication of human feelings, the art of balance, there are laws that can be followed, as long as you master the laws, you can be handy."
"The so-called Taoism is natural, that's it."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he seemed to understand something in his heart.
"The heart of a king, cultivating his body internally, and cultivating his momentum externally."
Ying Zheng chewed on these twelve words repeatedly.
At this moment, Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "The night is long, is the king interested in learning my Taoist method of cultivating the gods?" ”
Ying Zheng said: "The method of raising the gods? ”
Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "People's lives are the capital of survival, if your life is not there, how can you talk about anything else?" ”
"To cultivate one's body, you must first have a good body."
When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but arch his hand towards Ye Qianqiu and said: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, I want to forge a sword of the Son of Heaven, I don't know if Mr. is willing to help me complete this dream of a country through the ages." ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said: "The sword of the Son of Heaven on the king can only be forged by the king alone, I am not Wang Zuozhicai, and I am not here, the king should know." ”
Ying Zheng was slightly disappointed, but then said: "Then I can only ask Mr. for guidance on the method of refining gods." ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled: "This is wonderful. ”
Ye Qianqiu put aside the witchcraft codex in his hand and began to teach Ying Zheng the method of refining gods and qi.
Ying Zheng has a natural adventurous spirit and his own opinions.
Ye Qianqiu didn't know how much impact he could have on Yingzheng tonight.
But if it can affect a little, it is a little, and it always comes down to a good fate.
Wait for Ye Qianqiu to finish reading a mantra with Ying Zheng.
At that moment, Gagne walked in from outside the tent.
I only heard Gai Nie say to Ye Qianqiu and Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, General Wang Yu has sent someone to ask Mr. to go to the main account of the Chinese army. ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, his face showed doubt, and he said, "Oh? ”
"General Wang Ji and Mr. don't know each other again, it's so late, what did he ask Mr. to do?"
Gai Nie said: "The person who came did not say it. ”
Ying Zheng looked at Ye Qianqiu.
Ye Qianqiu stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll go and see what kind of medicine is sold in this General Wang Di's gourd." ”
Ying Zheng said: "Sir, be careful. ”
Ye Qianqiu nodded and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, one of Wang's own soldiers was waiting.
Gai Nie said to the pro-soldier, "This is Mr. Ye." ”
The pro-soldier bowed towards Ye Qianqiu and said, "Mr. Ye, the general is invited." ”
Ye Qianqiu said: "Lead the way ahead." ”
……
Soon, Ye Qianqiu followed the personal soldier to the main tent of the Chinese army in the camp.
After entering the main tent of the Chinese army, I saw Wang Yi sitting on the main seat and said to Ye Qianqiu: "Mr. Ye showed his might in Xinzheng City, killed the Korean general Ji Wuye, and was able to retreat without any damage. ”
"Mr. Ye's ability is very impressive to the old man."
Ye Qianqiu smiled faintly and said: "The old general is in Wusui, and he is also in charge of the affairs in Xinzheng City, it seems that the old general's news channels are very wide." ”
Wang Yi raised his hand and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”
Ye Qianqiu stepped forward, sat opposite Wang Di, and said, "The general invited him late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”
Wang Yi poured wine for Ye Qianqiu and said, "I don't know where Mr. came from?" ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "I am a scattered person in the rivers and lakes, without roots, without pinch, and without restraint. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yi glanced at Ye Qianqiu and said with a smile: "Oh? That's interesting. ”
"How can there really be a person in this world who has no roots and no roots?"
Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "Under the troubled times, many people are displaced and homeless, isn't this a normal thing?" ”
Wang Yi nodded and said, "Sir's words are reasonable. ”
"At present, the court of the Qin State is treacherous, and the forces of all parties are intertwined with each other, what is the intention of Mr. to enter Qin at this time?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "There are many people entering Qin every day between the six countries. ”
"I'm just one of them."
Wang Yi said: "No, Mr. is different from them. ”
"Sir is to escort Shang Gongzi, right?"
Ye Qianqiu shook his head and smiled, and said, "Shang Gongzi has Gai Nie's support, and he doesn't need me. ”
"I just hit it off at first sight with Shang Gongzi, and it just so happened that I was going to enter Qin, so I went on the road with Shang Gongzi."
Wang Yi said: "Oh? ”
"Really?"
"That surprised the old man a little."
Ye Qianqiu said: "There are bound to be many things that surprise the old general. ”
Wang Yi pinched the wine lord on the table and said, "Oh? Is it? ”
Ye Qianqiu also picked up the wine lord on the table and said to Wang Di: "Old general, please." ”
"Please, sir."
Wang Yi replied.
The two of them drank all the wine in the wine.
Wang Yi said again: "Right now, the court of the Qin State is treacherous, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and the army of Great Qin is what all forces want to compete for. ”
"Shang Gongzi is alone, and it is inevitable that he will be coveted by bad people."
"Now the Qin State is not very peaceful, both inside and outside the court."
"Mr. and the monk returned to Qin from Korea together, if you want to enter the court of Qin, you have to think twice."
Ye Qianqiu glanced at Wang Di and said with a light smile: "The old general is too worried, I am really just a monk and a son." ”
Wang Yi said: "Shang Gongzi is in danger in Xinzheng, has Mr. Ye ever known?" ”
"I heard that it seems that Ji Wuye wants to be unfavorable to Shang Gongzi."
"I wonder if Shang Gongzi has encountered any trouble on the way back to Qin along the way?"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "The old general doesn't need to worry too much, we have come all the way, it is very safe, Ji Wuye is just targeting me, and it is Ba Linglong who is targeting Shang Gongzi." ”
Wang Yi seemed a little surprised: "Eight Linglong? ”
"I've heard, I've heard they're the top group of assassins in the world."
"I didn't expect them to dare to be unfavorable to Shang Gongzi!"
"Alas, it's nothing more than a brother on the wall."
"Why fratricide!"
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "The old general seems to know Ba Linglong very well. ”
"Does the old general know that Chang'an Jun Chengcheng is one of the Eight Linglong?"
When Wang Yi heard this, he immediately looked surprised and said, "What! ”
"Chang'an Jun Cheng is one of the eight exquisite!"
"It's impossible, Chang'an Jun Cheng made trouble in Tunliu, and he was already executed a year ago."
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly, did not dwell on this, but said: "It seems that the old general is old and remembers some things wrongly. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yi smiled and said, "It may indeed be so. ”
"The old man is indeed old, and there are some things that he really can't remember clearly."
Ye Qianqiu said: "The general is in charge of military affairs, and it is normal to remember mistakes for a while. ”
"It's not too early, so I won't disturb the general's rest."
"The general doesn't need to worry about Shang Gongzi's safety, Ji Wuye is dead, and Ba Linglong is also dead."
At this time, Ye Qianqiu stood up and walked towards the outside of the tent.
When Ye Qianqiu left the tent, Wang Di's eyes narrowed, he held the wine jue in his hand tightly, and said quietly: "Mr. Ye, who are you?" ”
……
After Ye Qianqiu left the main tent of the Chinese army, he returned to the armament camp tent.
At this time, Yingzheng had not rested, obviously waiting for Ye Qianqiu.
The lights in the tent were bright, and Ying Zheng was still looking at the bamboo slips on the table.
And Gai Nie sat behind Ying Zheng, quietly like a statue.
Seeing that Ye Qianqiu was back, Ying Zheng said: "Mr. came back so soon." ”
"What is the matter with General Wang Yi looking for Mr.?"
Ye Qianqiu walked over with a smile, sat aside, and said, "General Wang Yi came to me, just asked if he had encountered an assassin when the king returned to Qin. ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "What does Mr. think of Wang Di?" ”
Ye Qianqiu sat aside and said lightly: "Wang Ji fights fiercely, uses troops and is a general of the Qin State. ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Wang Yi is indeed tired of fighting merits. ”
"However, in the battle of Handan, Wang Yi could not attack for a long time, and his military achievements did not decline but rose."
At this time, Gai Nie, who had been silent for a long time on the side, also spoke: "After he learned the news of Shang Gongzi, he immediately arranged to wait in a separate tent, secretly killed the scouts, and offered strategies one after another, setting up a situation step by step, interlocking. ”
"I think this person has a lot of city, and he can get his current status, probably because of this."
Ying Zheng said: "After Wang Yu left here, the patrols in the barracks around this area have become much stricter. ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled slightly and said, "Master Shang doesn't have to worry, Gongzi will definitely be able to return to Xianyang intact." ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled: "Childe doesn't have to be polite. ”
At this moment, I only heard a voice outside the tent, and it was the sergeant waiting outside the tent who suddenly spoke: "Master Qian, please stop." ”
"Commander Zuo has an order, and no one in the army is allowed to enter or leave this account."
A deep voice rang out.
"Who's in the tent?"
The sergeant replied, "My subordinates don't know. ”
The man asked, "I don't know, or can't I say?" ”
The sergeant replied in a bit of a panic: "This is the general's order...... Thousands of adults, don't embarrass your subordinates. ”
But the man didn't give up: "I patrol the barracks as usual, and it's also a military order!" ”
As soon as the words fell, only the screams of two sergeants could be heard outside the tent.
At this time, Ye Qianqiu looked at Gai Nie, Gai Nie bowed slightly, stood up, and walked towards the camp tent.
Gai Nie walked outside the tent and saw a young general in bright silver armor holding a long ge, standing outside the tent.
The two sergeants who were waiting outside the tent had already fallen to the ground, subdued and incapacitated.
Gai Nie said lightly to the young general, "Please stop! ”
The young general's face was wearing a silver mask, and he looked at Gai Nie and asked, "Are you?" ”
Gai Nie's clothes fluttered, and he replied calmly: "Down, Gai Nie!" ”
"Ganie?"
"Why is the chief sword teacher of the king here?"
The young general asked suspiciously.
Gai Nie directly pulled out the long sword in his hand, and said loudly: "This sword is given by the king himself, I hope your Excellency will not break in." ”
The young general said loudly: "As the Great Qin Qianchang, it is my duty to inspect the military camp. ”
Gai Nie said: "What is the duty of the adult, you should ask the chief Zuo." ”
At this time, I saw a noise here, which alarmed the Qin soldiers patrolling there.
A few Qin soldiers walked over to this side.
The young general said to the Qin soldiers, "No one is allowed to enter or leave this tent, including me?" ”
One of the sergeants bowed his head and replied, "Elder Qian, what Zuo Shu said is true. ”
The young general glanced at Gai Nie and turned to leave.
……
Nothing was said all night.
Ye Qianqiu, Ying Zheng, and Gai Nie stayed in the barracks for a day.
At noon the next day, a sergeant came to report that he was going to invite Gai Nie to Dianjiangtai and discuss important matters.
At this time, there were only three people in the camp, Ye Qianqiu, Ying Zheng, and Gai Nie.
Ying Zheng looked at Ye Qianqiu and said, "Sir, Wang Yi suddenly invited only Gai Nie to go alone, is there any fraud in it?" ”
Ye Qianqiu said with a smile: "With the method of war, double is divided." ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case."
Gai Nie said: "Could it be that Wang Di wants to separate us from each other?" ”
Ying Zheng looked puzzled and said, "Wang Yi is my Great Qin general, why should he be unfavorable to the widow?" ”
Ye Qianqiu smiled and said, "This answer may only be known to him." ”
Ying Zheng said: "Then how should we deal with it?" ”
Ye Qianqiu said: "It's okay, let's go with Nie'er." ”
When Ying Zheng heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said, "That's it." ”
As the words fell, the three of them left the camp tent and followed the sergeants waiting outside the camp towards the point where the camp was located.
Dianjiangtai is the place where the generals go out to fight, and it is also an indispensable place in the camp of the first army.
The three of them paced out, and after walking in the camp for a short time, they saw the high platforms around them.
The high platform is a place for scouts to climb high and look into the distance, in order to facilitate the observation of the enemy's situation.
At this time, the wind and sand are blowing.
Many soldiers in the battalion are still moving back and forth.
In the sky, the eagle circled, and the sound of the eagle chirping was heard.
The three of them walked a few more steps, and then they saw the Dianjiang platform, and saw that the Dianjiang platform was waving flags.
General Wang Yi was already waiting on the platform.
The three of them soon came to the bottom of the stage.
At this time, I saw that under the general's platform, there was already a young general in silver armor waiting.
Gai Nie stepped forward and said, "It's you." ”
The young general said: "According to the military regulations, those who are not soldiers of the Great Qin need to disarm their weapons in front of the general's platform. ”
"Elder Zuo Shu is already waiting on the platform."
Gai Nie said lightly: "The sword in my hand is given by the king himself. ”
The young general said: "Sir, don't worry, I will personally keep the sword for Mr., and I will definitely not let this sword be damaged in the slightest." ”
"When Mr. comes down from the point, I will naturally return the things to the original owner."
Ye Qianqiu listened to the voice of the young general, and already knew that this person was the person who wanted to break into the tent outside the tent last night.
Ye Qianqiu smiled at Gai Nie and said, "Nie'er, hand over the sword to this Qianlong man for safekeeping." ”
"This is the Qin army's big camp, the Qin army is very disciplined, there will be no problems."
Hearing this, Gai Nie looked at Ye Qianqiu, and then handed the sword in his hand to the young general.
The young general took the long sword and said to the three of them, "Three, please come with me." ”
Wait for the three of them to go to the stage.
I saw Wang Yi sitting at the table.
When Wang Ji saw the three of them, he hurriedly got up and said, "Shang Gongzi is also here!" ”
Ying Zheng said lightly: "General Wang Yi specially invited Mr. Gai Nie to come, I don't know why?" ”
Wang Yi stood in front of the table and said loudly: "In the Wusui military camp, all forces are criss-crossed, and it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe. ”
"The old man remembered that Mr. Gai Nie was born in the Ghost Valley and was proficient in the art of identification, but he didn't expect to disturb Shang Gongzi, the old man was really guilty."
Ying Zheng sat at the table and said calmly: "General Wang Ji has a heart. ”
At this time, Wang Yi said: "I don't know when Shang Gongzi plans to rush to Xianyang?" ”
Gai Nie said from the side: "Shang Gongzi has something important to do, so naturally it is urgent. ”
"Oh?"
"Shang Gongzi has just sent out the handwritten letter, and he is about to get up and rush to Xianyang, is it a little too hasty?"
Wang Di said with a smile.
Ying Zheng said lightly: "Yes, what is General Wang Yu's confusion? ”
Wang Yi said: "What I don't understand is that Shang Gongzi's handwritten letter is sent to the current Queen Mother? ”
Ying Zheng said: "What are the doubts of General Wang Di? ”
Wang Yi said: "The Queen Mother lives in the palace and rarely asks about politics, but I am afraid that she will not be of much help to Shang Gongzi." ”
Ying Zheng said: "The general specially invited, just to confirm this matter?" ”
Wang Yi said: "In the early years, the Queen Mother entered Qin from Zhao, and among the sons, Chang'an Jun Chengcheng and the Queen Mother were closer. ”
"Could it be that Gongzi Shang and Chang'an Jun Chengcheng have a close relationship and are like brothers?"
"Brotherhood?"
Ying Zheng stood up, chewed a sentence, and then snorted coldly, and said, "It can be called brotherhood." ”
Wang Yi said: "Since we are like brothers, it is indeed possible to bear big things." ”
"Since Shang Gongzi is seeking great things, can he have a token with him?"
As he spoke, he saw Wang Di standing there, took out a jade wrench from his arms, and said lightly: "Shang Gongzi, please see, this is a token?" ”
Ying Zheng looked at it with his hands in his hands, motionless.
Ye Qianqiu looked at this Wang Yi silently, but he was thinking in his heart, whether this old man was dying.
At this moment, I saw that Wang Yi directly crushed the jade wrench fingers with two fingers, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a cold voice: "Take down these traitors for me!" ”
……
