Chapter 11 The Sword and the Lulu

readx;? In the evening of the same day, in the dim night, in the archery field of the Wanxian military camp, Zhang Jiashi continued to train with the faint light of a few torches. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't know that his practice like this was different from Qin Jun's hand crossbow training. Because Chen Heng is an archer professional with good archery skills, if it weren't for his poor internal strength, maybe he could be a marksman, a high-ranking profession among archers and crossbowmen.

Chen Heng taught his experience to Zhang Jiashi, but perhaps he didn't expect that his own archery skills were one in a thousand in the Great Qin Army. Therefore, for Zhang Jiashi, who has never touched the crossbow at all, the other party's archery teaching is also a little too advanced.

Zhang Jiashi lifted a live chicken in the cage, then walked to a small wooden stake nailed to the ground by Chen Heng, and tied the live chicken's feet with a small hemp rope that was divided into two meters like Chen Heng.

While Zhang Jiashi was busy with his work, the white wolf and Hongyun watched quietly from the side......

......

In the county lieutenant's tent, the county guard Meng Guang was drinking with the county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant said to Meng Guang: "Lord Taishou, if you take the risk of telling Your Majesty about the situation in Kanto, aren't you afraid of the prosperity and decline of yourself and your family?"

"Your Majesty's eloquence, how can you and I speculate here? But Your Majesty will not believe my words so easily, I am afraid that someone will become Your Majesty's eyes and ears, and then visit Kanto. Meng Guang put down his bronze wine jue, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and slowly poured some yellow liquid into his wine jue: "Wu Duwei, don't you think it is very reasonable for Your Majesty to do this?"

(Before the Tang Dynasty, liquor was basically rice wine, and there is no evidence that before the Tang Dynasty, there was a basis for liquor, and distilled spirits had appeared.) And the real rice wine, in terms of nutritional value is very high, there is a saying, wine is the essence of food, that is, rice wine. )

The name of the county lieutenant is Wu Mian, and he is the best disciple of the Wu family of the Qin State.

He also has a certain understanding of Zhao Gao's situation from the exchanges between the families. Therefore, he looked at Meng Guang with concern: "Lord Taishou, except for a few people in the inner court now, I'm afraid ...... Everyone else is Zhao Gao's henchmen, this ......"

"It's okay, because Your Majesty won't let the people of the Inner Court and the Shang Junying do such a thing. I think Uduwei himself knows very well what the reason is. After Meng Guang finished speaking, he picked up the wine lord in front of him and took a few sips of rice wine.

"Yes, as an intelligence organization that has only been responsible for the monarch in the past dynasties, under normal circumstances, it will not ignore or deliberately conceal such a situation at all. I'm afraid that Shang Junying has become Zhao Gao's minions. Wu Mian paused for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty trusts Zhao Gao too much, because the successive captains of the Shang Jun Camp are only known to Your Majesty or the previous kings...... Well, since Lord Taishou said this, does Lord Taishou know who His Majesty will choose to accomplish such a thing?"

Meng Guang smiled and nodded, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a chief who was arranged to lead a patrol of the barracks at night: "Report to the county lieutenant, General Zhang Bai ignored the curfew order in the army and practiced crossbow archery in the archery field." ”

"Oh?" After Wu Mian heard the news, he pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Baijiang's affairs, as long as no one lives or affects other people's schedules, you don't care about other things." ”

"This ...... Yes, Lord Lieutenant. ”

Shi Chang clenched his fists at Wu Mian and slowly withdrew from the camp.

"This little guy is really not worry-free. Umian shook his head, and then he forced a smile and told the rumors he had heard at dinner.

"Hehe, Zhang Baijiang can be said to be ashamed and almost brave, but ...... This person will be the key figure in this matter. Meng Guang smiled and said in a low voice: "In terms of relationship, Zhang Zhonglang as the son-in-law of Emperor Liao (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not say that there was no concubine before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the so-called title of concubine did not exist before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In terms of power, Zhang Zhonglang, who is completely blank, has no need, and there is no possibility of helping some people to deceive His Majesty for some interest entanglements. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to support a force that can allow the Seven Princesses to be protected. If Zhang Zhonglang can really make the trip, then His Majesty should send someone over to convey the edict in a short time. ”

Hearing this, Wu Mian nodded slightly, but he quickly remembered another thing, that is, Ying Yuelian, who often entered the barracks, gave him a headache. Although according to Qin law, unrelated personnel are not allowed to trespass into the barracks, otherwise the officers on duty stationed in the camp have the right to kill people on the spot.

However, this Ying Yuelian, as His Majesty's beloved daughter, even His Majesty has only opened and closed his eyes, what else can he say?

Therefore, he really wanted to drive Ying Yuelian out, but this aunt's anger was not so easy to bear. He lost his official affairs by himself, but if he affected the Wu family, it would be his responsibility to die.

"Then will Her Royal Highness the Princess return to Xianyang or will she follow Zhang Baijiang when the time comes?" Wu Mian said this very important question to him.

Meng Guang shook his head, he spread his hands, and then said: "Don't ask me about this, you don't know the degree of difficulty in waiting for His Highness." ”

Well, in Wu Mian shaking his head and laughing, he also knew that the two of them could be said to be brothers and sisters in this regard, and no one should laugh at anyone.

"Come, no matter what, we are now waiting for the dictatorship of His Majesty's Sacred Heart. Meng Guang raised his wine glass, and then followed Meng Guang to drink the liquid in the wine bottle.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

In the next few days, Zhang Jiashi trained riding in the morning, crossbow in the afternoon, and took some time to practice in the evening.

Wu Mian did not interfere with Zhang Jiashi's actions in this regard, he saw Zhang Jiashi's performance in his eyes, and secretly praised it in his heart.

As a middle-aged man in his forties, of course, he clearly saw that there was nothing between Ying Yuelian and Zhang Jiashi, but many times, he arranged some things intentionally or unintentionally, which was enough to explain his attitude.

But compared to Zhang Jiashi's hard work, the Great Qin Supreme in Xianyang, after seeing Meng Guang's bamboo slips, his eyes contained incomparable anger.

He began to be very skeptical of what Meng Guang said, but if he only had such ability, of course he would not be able to become an emperor through the ages, perhaps...... More than 20 years ago, in the struggle for power with LĂź Buwei, he had already died.

Finally, the Emperor of the Ages slowly closed the note and threw it into the fire plate.

He didn't deal with the rest of the music, but slowly returned to the harem.

He didn't summon Mei Ji to sleep, but walked to a small hall that was a little deserted, and pushed open the door of the small hall that had not changed since decades ago, but had been empty.

Looking at the room where he would come here to sit for a while if something didn't go his way for decades, Ying Zheng slowly closed the door after entering the room.

This room did not belong to His Majesty, the First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, and he had no idea of taking it for himself.

Because the owner of this room is his younger brother who has been dead for more than 20 years, Cheng Jiao was in the room of Xianyang Palace before worshipping Chang'an Jun.

The two of them are half-brothers, however, they have a good relationship. Ying Zheng had also heard rumors that his father was Lü Buwei, and he wanted to kill those who spread rumors, but Cheng Jiao stopped him. Because he said something very reasonable: "Why should Brother Wang care about gossip? The fact that our brother looks similar to the previous king is enough to explain everything." ”

Yes, Cheng Jiao and him both look similar to King Zhuangxiang, which is enough to explain everything.

However, when he learned that Cheng Jiao had descended to Zhao, he was furious because he felt that he had been betrayed by his only brother.

At that time, he ordered LĂź Buwei to deal with the matter. It's just that he soon regretted it, because Lu Buwei always wanted to kill Cheng Jiao.

He quickly changed his mind, but it was too late.

Because Cheng Jiao was coerced by the rebel Fan Yuzhi after rebelling out of the Zhao State, he hoped that the other party could counterattack the Qin State in the name of the only son of the former king.

Cheng Jiao didn't do this, he was just an ordinary person, and he jumped directly off the wall more than seven meters high......

It can be said that Cheng Jiao died in the hands of LĂź Buwei, Fan Yuzhi and him.

Ying Zheng, who was full of remorse, had to try his best to keep Chengjiao's son, and then take him to Xianyang Palace to raise him.

Decades have passed, and his nephew has grown up and started a family.

Ying Zheng looked at everything in this room and muttered a sentence: "My younger brother, has the Great Qin Empire really become such a situation in the twilight of the Western Mountains? If you are still in the Heavenly Spirit, please bless the Imperial Brother to know the true situation. ”

After saying this, Ying Zheng, after standing inside this small hall for a long time, turned around and left.

He didn't know that this was the last time he came here, and he didn't know that maybe Cheng Jiao really blessed the Great Qin Empire in the dark, and his decision changed the subsequent history of the Great Qin Empire.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Three days later, Zhang Jiashi helplessly patted Ying Yuelian, who was holding him because of excitement, on the shoulder, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, can you let go first? ”

"Huh?" After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, because he saw that Zhang Jiashi had directly hit the live chicken several times in a row, and the crossbow technique had undergone earth-shaking changes, he was a little happy, and he directly hugged Zhang Jiashi's Ying Yuelian, and then remembered where he was.

She quietly looked at more than a dozen Wanxian county soldiers, including Yao Yong and Chen Heng, who were all looking at each other from Zhang Jiashi's arms, and her face was as red as a persimmon.

Well, Ying Yuelian can only bury his head in Zhang Jiashi's chest armor now, and treat himself as an ostrich out of sight.

However, at this time, a Wu Chang trotted over, clasped his fists at the embarrassed Zhang Jiashi and said: "Zhang Baijiang! Your Majesty's edict is conveyed, please welcome the holy order!"

"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi looked at the Wu Commander suspiciously, and then nodded.

It's not that he doesn't understand etiquette, it's that he can't pay it back at all.

And this Wu Chang also saw Ying Yuelian who was quietly sticking out his head on Zhang Jiashi's chest, and he knew what was going on.

......

This time, the person who came to announce the edict to Zhang Jiashi was the same father-in-law who came to read the book last time.

Zhang Jiashi, who was kneeling on the ground, did not pay much attention to the content of the edict, except that there was no common sentence in later generations, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said", in the content of a large chase that was considered nonsense in Zhang Jiashi's ears, Zhang Jiashi remembered only two things:

(The term Fengtian carrier, officially used in edicts, book making, or edicts, began in the Ming Dynasty.) )

The first point is that His Majesty the Emperor, whom he has never met, asked him to visit the counties of Kanto with a subordinate who is no different from the watcher.

The second point is that the other party gave him a long sword named Lulu.

And after receiving this edict covered with a bunch of bird-shaped small seals carved with the cinnabar seal of "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang", Zhang Jiashi looked at this smiling father-in-law, and the other party did not let him stand up, but from one of the attendants, took a box with good sandalwood and painted black-based patterns, and walked to Zhang Jiashi.

At this time, Zhang Jiashi heard a sentence from his father-in-law: "Zhang Zhonglang, just let someone else hold the edict temporarily." ”

"Oh. Zhang Jiashi handed this edict to the county lieutenant behind him, and he didn't see the surprised and inexplicable expression in the county lieutenant's eyes.

Of course, Wu Mian was not because of this matter of the edict, but because of the content of this edict, which surprised him too much.

In his thinking, Zhang Jiashi was a county guard, county lieutenant, or even any official except Jiuqing who could hold the Lulu sword and kill any county guard, county lieutenant, or even any official except Jiuqing.

What the hell is the Lulu Sword?

Quite simply, it is the sword of the previous kings of the Qin State. After King Qin Huiwen obtained the Lulu Sword, this sword has always been the symbol of the Qin royal family.

And this sword is very murderous, mainly because of Bai Qi and General Bai (Bai Qi is a general, not a so-called general. The state of Qin did not have the title of general. He was ordered by King Qin Zhaoxiang to kill himself with this sword.

It is said that this sword absorbed the killing momentum of Bai Qi and turned into a killing sword that could not be used by ordinary people.

And the person who can wear this sword, after King Zhaoxiang, is only His Majesty. King Xiaowen's health is very poor, but he will not die after three days on the throne, it is said that it is because King Xiaowen wore the Lulu sword, and as a result, he directly entered the body with murderous energy, and finally died.

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, the Qin clan decided to replace the Lulu sword with another sword after communicating with the country's civil and military officials, and became the new Qin king's sword. This sword is the Tai'a Sword known as the Sword of Might.

Perhaps because the former king died young only three years after wearing the Tai'a sword, His Majesty re-wore the Lulu sword at the beginning of his reign.

And now, since His Majesty's sword is not a Lulu sword, nor is it a Tai'a sword, but a Dingqin sword forged in order to show his identity after the unification of the Six Kingdoms.

It can be said that in the eyes of the people of Qin, the Dingqin Sword is the sword of the emperor that overrides everything (in many ways, the Dingqin Sword is more noble than the Chixiao Sword).

And Zhang Jiashi received the Lulu Sword from His Majesty, why didn't he surprise Wu Mian's heart?

......

After Zhang Jiashi took over the sword box containing the Lulu sword, Gonggong Xi said something that made Zhang Jiashi a little stunned: "Your Majesty told that after Zhang Baijiang got the Lulu sword, he must personally draw the sword." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi looked at the sword box in his hand suspiciously, he didn't know why Qin Shi Huang said this, but he knew that he had to do it.

And after Zhang Jiashi opened the sword box, he felt a very strong killing intent spreading out in the sword body.

But Zhang Jiashi was not affected, but gently grabbed the hilt and scabbard of the sword, and gently drew the long sword......

ps: What is the identity of Prince Qin?

There are three arguments: the younger brother of Qin Shi Huang, the son of Fusu, and the elder brother of Hu Hai.

As soon as Qin Shi Huang's younger brother said it, it was obviously a brain-dead thing to say, Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang only had two adult sons, one was Qin Shi Huang, and the other was Cheng Jiao, okay...... Could it be that the Cheng Jiao who died in the tun is still a ghost?

The theory of Fusu's son is more popular, mainly because there is a record in the "Historical Records": Gao Li II's brother and son.

But this honestly does not stand up to speculation. Although the ancients became their own sons early, there is no evidence that Qin Shi Huang became a grandfather at the age of thirty-two. And there is a record that Prince Ying of Qin talked with the eunuch Han Tan, and his two sons conspired to kill Zhao Gao......

Herein lies the problem, let's assume that all three generations of Yingzheng had sons at the age of sixteen, but you can't expect a person who is only five or six years old to know how to plot murder.

Since the oldest Fusu is in this situation, not to mention the other sons of the First Emperor who are younger than Fusu.

Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, those who can kill all the Hu Hai brothers and sisters will not fail to understand what it means to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

So, the second point is also impossible.

As for Hu Hai's elder brother, there is a misunderstanding, the elder brother can also count cousins and cousins in ancient times, at least, the historical records do not clearly define whether he is a brother or a cousin in this regard.

In this case, after Cheng Jiao died in Tunliu, the son who stayed in Qin was likely to be Ziying. After all, Ziying did not pose that kind of threat to Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

More importantly, the third view is also reasonable in terms of temporal extrapolation. And if Ziying was born in 240 BC, then when Zhao Gao was killed, his children could also come in handy in terms of grade.

In another alternate novel, "The Legend of the Little Soldier of Great Qin", this view is adopted.

In addition, some people think that Fan Yu period is Huan Qi, this, the battle of Tunliu was in 239 BC, and Huan Qi was in 234 BC, that is, the thirteenth year of the reign of King Qin: "Huan Qi attacked Zhao Pingyang, killed Zhao Jiang, and beheaded 100,000." Wang's Henan. In the first month, the comet sees the east. In October, Huan Qi attacked Zhao. In the fourteenth year, he attacked the Zhao army in Pingyang, took Yi'an, broke it, and killed its general. Huan Qi Dingpingyang, Wucheng. ”

Well, if Fan Yuqi and Huan Qi were alone, this wolf didn't think that Huan Qi would be able to be safe and sound in the Qin State in such a few years.
