Seeing Fei Mo's stupid look, he said, "Sister Night, you are so fragrant." ”

Night Goose Qiao's face behind the white mask turned red with shame all of a sudden, and Fei Mo in front of him said the same thing as the man more than two thousand years ago, and Night Goose Qiao's thoughts began to go back to more than two thousand years ago.

"Mother, please persuade your father, I won't marry, Queen Mother. On the top of the main hall, a young woman dressed in a pale cyan Luo skirt with gold lace on the skirt pulled the corner of a middle-aged woman in a gorgeous dress next to her and pleaded.

I saw that the young woman's skin was like snow, and the gold edges at the cuffs were embroidered with a few, elegant plum blossoms, and the ten fingers that pulled the corners of the lady's clothes were slender and white, like soft wattles and like shaved spring onions. A handsome face has a few tear stains, the earlobes as round as white jade wear light blue pendants, a few golden hairpins inlaid with jade hold her long hair, the lower layer of the hairpin scatters three thousand green silk on her shoulders, and a lilac belt tightens Yingying's thin waist, which is enough to show her slender figure. The woman's fair face was a little soft because of tears, and the water marks in her eyes were even more pitiful.

The lady next to her was wearing a black dress, and the face of the half-aged was seven points similar to that young woman.

This young woman is the eldest princess of Qi Liqiu, and that woman is her mother, the queen and queen of Qi.

The queen slowly opened her mouth: "Qiu'er, the Qin State has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and has the potential to sweep the six countries and dominate the world. Two days ago, the spies rumored that the iron cavalry of the Qin State had descended to the fifteen cities of the Zhao State, and the Zhao army was not allowed to do so. ”

After pondering for a while, the queen sighed again and said: "The kings of my Qi Kingdom have all taken it as their responsibility to live and work in peace and contentment since the Duke of Huan (Huan Gong is Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai, the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons), and they have lost the determination and army to compete with the other six countries for hegemony. ”

Seeing the silence of Liqiu beside her, the queen continued: "Qiu'er, you also know that many of the people of our Qi country are now doing business in the other six countries, and from the news they have heard and heard, it can be seen that since Qin Xiaogong and Shang Jun changed the law, the country is rich and the people are strong, and almost the whole country can be armed. The Qin State is incomparable to us in terms of both army and weapons, and the iron cavalry of the Qin State is almost invincible, including our Qi State. ”

Li Qiu seemed to think of something and said, "Can't we form an alliance with the five kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, Chuyan, and we? ”

The queen smiled bitterly before patting Liqiu's hand lovingly and said, "Silly boy, you think of the Six Kingdoms too simply, you think of the Qin Kingdom too simply. ”

Liqiu looked at his mother puzzled, and before Liqiu could open his mouth, the queen continued: "The strategy of combining vertical and horizontal has long been used in the Seven Kingdoms, thinking that Su and Qin were deeply connected with the strategy of combining vertical and horizontal and lobbying the six countries of Qi, Chu, Zhao, Han, Wei and Yan to form an alliance to resist Qiang Qin. Su Qin and his body are wearing the seals of the six countries, how majestic. ”

The queen thought about the previous things and sighed for a long time before she spoke: "The six countries formed an anti-Qin alliance, how could the Qin country sit still and wait for death, they found Su Qin's classmate and friend Zhang Yi, and soon under Zhang Yi's persuasion, the Six Nations Alliance was torn apart, and Su Qin, who was wearing the seal of the six countries, could only flee everywhere until our Qin State was stabbed to death." ”

Liqiu listened to his mother's narration and asked incredulously: "The Six-Nation Alliance is so weak that it will be torn apart by being lobbied?"

The queen smiled bitterly before she spoke: "You think of the Six Kingdoms too simply, the Six Kingdoms themselves have contradictions, and they are only reluctantly united because of their resistance to Qiang Qin. The Qin State just sent the lobbyist Zhang Yi to sow discord between the six countries, and the alliance of the six countries collapsed, and Zhang Yi of the Qin State only used his words. ”

Li Qiu opened his mouth in disbelief and said, "How is it possible? Since the Six Kingdoms formed an alliance against the Qin State, why was it so easily destroyed by a lobbyist Zhang Yi. ”

The queen looked at her precious daughter who grew up in the deep palace and explained: "The Six Kingdoms have experienced hundreds of years of continuous war, and there are irreconcilable contradictions between the six countries. If Qin came to Yan at this time and said that he would help Yan send troops to attack Zhao and help Yan recapture the city that was robbed by Zhao before, would King Yan be tempted at this time?"

After a pause, the queen said in an accentuated tone: "If the Qin State said that it was just sending troops to help the Yan State defeat Zhao, and all the cities recaptured would be returned to the Yan State, and the Qin State would not want an inch of land, would the King of Yan be tempted at this time?"

Liqiu is not stupid, but very smart, but she has lived in the deep palace for a long time and does not know the grievances of so many six countries, so she thinks that the six countries can form an alliance to fight against the Qin State together. Now that he heard that the queen said the secrets of the Six Kingdoms, Liqiu naturally knew that King Yan would definitely be tempted, and as long as King Yan was tempted, Yan Zhao would naturally not be able to form an alliance again.

Seeing that Liqiu was deep in thought, the queen continued meaningfully: "Qiu'er, you not only think of the Six Kingdoms too simply, you also think of the Qin Kingdom too simply. ”

Seeing the queen say this, she was even more puzzled: "Queen Mother, you say that I think of Qin Guo too simply, isn't Qin Guo just an insatiable wolf?"

The queen sighed and said, "The Qin State is not a wolf, but a tiger, a tiger that goes down the mountain. ”

"Tiger, Qin Guo is a tiger, what does the queen mother mean?" asked Liqiu again.

The queen looked at Liqiu lovingly and said, "Silly boy, do you think that the Six-Nation Alliance can really stop the Qin State? The Six-Nation Alliance has attacked the Qin State many times, but they have all failed miserably, and the iron cavalry of the Qin State cannot resist the Six Nations." ”

Liqiu looked at the queen in shock and muttered, "Could it be that my father was really afraid of the Qin State so he sent me to the Qin State to marry? ”

Seeing that Liqiu's eyes were red, the queen hurriedly comforted: "Qiu'er, don't blame your father for this, blame your mother, it was the queen mother who promised you to go to Qin State to marry." ”

When Liqiu heard the queen say this, he let go of the hand that was pulling the corner of the queen's coat and took a few steps back, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, I don't believe it, the queen mother, you must have lied to me, right?"

Liqiu seemed to grasp the first straw after falling into the water, and looked at the queen with hopeful eyes, but soon Liqiu's eyes turned cold.

Because, the queen looked at Liqiu with a serious expression and nodded.

"Why, why does the queen mother treat me like this, is it not good to annoy the queen mother with Liqiu? Liqiu must no longer be willful to make the queen mother angry, the queen mother should not send me to the Qin State, I will not marry. Liqiu pleaded.

The queen turned around and couldn't bear to look at her daughter's pleading pitiful eyes, and forcibly agreed with Liqiu's thoughts and tears, and said: "Qiu'er, you know, two days ago, Zhao Ji, the Empress Dowager of Great Qin, came to my Qi country thousands of miles away. As the eldest princess of Qi Kingdom, Liqiu naturally knew about the arrival of Empress Dowager Zhao Ji of Qin, and she still had a good impression of Zhao Ji, the Empress Dowager of Qin, who was always laughing heartily.

The queen quietly wiped her tears with her sleeves before turning around and pulling Liqiu into her arms and said, "Do you know what happened to Zhao Ji?"

Liqiu snuggled in the queen's arms and shook her head, and the queen continued: "Zhao Ji has come thousands of miles to my Qi country for one thing, marriage. ”

Liqiu broke free from the queen's arms and turned around to leave, and said, "It turns out that Zhao Ji is the mastermind behind it, so I'll go and tell her that I'm not married." ”

The queen grabbed Liqiu and stopped her from speaking, "Qiu'er, you listen to the queen mother." ”

Looking at the queen's pleading eyes, Liqiu hesitated for a moment and stopped.

The queen hurriedly spoke: "The person who came to marry the Qin State is not someone else, it is Zhao Ji's son, the new king of the Qin State, Yingzheng. This person is eloquent and strategic, and the Six Kingdoms are very jealous of the young king of this Qin State. I learned from the spies of my Qi country that this Yingzheng is extraordinary, eight feet tall, and quite majestic. ”

After hesitating for a moment, the queen still spoke: "Qiu'er, our women's family can only survive in this troubled world by relying on such a king. Ying Zhenggui is the new king of Great Qin, you have not lost your identity when you marry, and what is even more rare is that Zhao Ji said that her son has not yet had a good match, and you will not be wronged if you marry. ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager said this and this, she turned around and left the hall, and when she stepped out of the palace, she just said softly to the queen: "I won't marry!"
