Chapter Ninety-Four: The Edict of the Queen
Natural disasters can only be raging natural disasters.
Like a flood, like a beast of prey, it destroys everything in the world with absolute barbaric power, man-made disasters and military disasters are defeated inside, but natural disasters are like countless Li people who are scorching on a fire, and the people can't get rid of despair and sadness by gritting their teeth and vomiting blood.
Great drought.
Most of the three hundred miles of Qinchuan have dried up.
Originally, in this vast land, there was a staggered flow of life blood, although the land where the old Qin people took root was saline-alkali land, and the harvest was extremely pitiful, it was not so full of holes.
Without water, the originally golden wheat waves turned into dry weeds.
The eyes were sparse, and the heat wave blew, but the only thing to see was the little smoke wafting from the scattered villages, and the animals were kneeling on the yellow sand, hungry and skinny.
Weishui is almost dry.
But the day was not at the right time, and he was suffering in the suffering of not having a drop of water, and the locust plague broke out in Guanzhong again.
The people of Guanzhong were almost exhausted of food and water, and the Zhao State, which also had a great drought that stretched for thousands of miles, also poured a large number of refugees into the Qin State, and the border was turbulent.
The people are in dire straits.
should have been looking forward to the Qin court's large-scale disaster relief, but under such a scene, the king of Qin was in the anticipation of hundreds of people and officials.
The king of Qin issued an order to imprison the empress dowager and an order to chase the prime minister.
Ordered his second autograph.
*
When the second document was issued, Ying Zheng went through a thousand thoughtful considerations. At the moment when natural disasters are pervasive, all kinds of celestial phenomena, divination, nursery rhymes, and proverbs are like weeds, and the Qin State is full of shadows.
In the face of such an unprecedented drought, and the nations that are eyeing each other.
As a king, he had so many things to do, and the whole country was so busy that he didn't close his eyes for days and nights, and finally finished reviewing the last pile of bamboo slips and put down the last tube of pen.
He wore an open-breasted bedrobe and walked into the white peach dormitory in the night of the high sky and the bright moon and the ice wheels like a mirror.
The moonlight is cold, illuminating his back like water, the beast face pattern copper candle is swaying, when the man is close to Hu Collapse, the sharpness of the whole body, the royal majesty erected on the body, is all unloaded, only the tenderness under the eyes trembles slightly.
The girl was facing the inside, sleeping with her hair messy.
The small lump shrunk and shrunk, he could easily scoop it into his arms, and then knead it well, and she would be able to jump in anger when her dream was disturbed, and then give him a mouthful.
She had never been afraid of him.
It's a pity that Ying Zheng has a lot of thoughts tonight and has no intention of doing this. He paced lightly.
The light in the hall was rippling, causing the moonlight outside to lose its brilliance.
Ying Zheng played with her collection of gadgets in the house, looking at them little by little, for fear of missing a penny. seems to be making up for the lack of time for her companionship.
She has always loved curiosity and new things.
The outermost wooden shelves are piled with a variety of small things and knick-knacks. In addition to all kinds of colorful and priceless gemstones, there are also some strange stones that I don't know which river they fished from.
Ying Zheng's fingertips touched the past little by little, and when he saw a fox-shaped stone, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and his fingertips rubbed a few times.
After putting it back in place and opening the drawer, there are all kinds of strange dried butterfly corpses.
There are several silk paintings in the innermost.
When he opened it up, he saw that it was painted in a remote corner of the palace that he was not familiar with. There are pavilions, there are rocks, there are trees, there are rivers. In the back, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, "The treasure is hidden here, waiting for future generations." ”
"Stubborn."
Seeing her bury the belongings he gave her so casually, Ying Zheng was really angry and funny.
Put back in place, I saw a brocade box with a lock in sight, the mechanism of the box is very easy to solve, he opened it and saw that it was wrapped in several layers of Chu embroidery, embroidered with a bright yellow deer pattern, after opening it, he found that it was wrapped in the most ordinary garland.
The wreath he knitted for her.
The flowers and plants are ordinary, and the weaving method is simple.
When he was young, he saw a pair of young boys and girls in the mulberry room when he was in Zhao Kingdom, and he had sharp eyes and excellent memory, and the skills of young men weaving garlands for girls were also remembered.
Later, when he was in HD, he also knitted the white peach when he was a child, and the little girl was full of fragrance, fragrant and soft, wearing the wreath he weaved, it was even more floral.
She gave him a kiss that was so sweet.
This kiss has been remembered since he was a child.
Not long ago, she was entangled in affairs, afraid that she would be lonely and sad, so she sent Zhao Gao out to pick flowers, and chose the yellowing leaves, Yingzheng made a wreath for the girl in her heart in the sea-like bamboo slips, and later heard that the little master was very happy, and he gradually forgot about it, and was full of thoughts on state affairs.
I didn't expect this wreath to be so treasured by her.
Ying Zheng's fingertips trembled and stroked the garland, and suddenly, suddenly, teased his memories, rustling endlessly.
"Brother Zheng..."
The delicate voice next to him pulled back his thoughts, he turned around, and saw that the girl on the couch didn't know when to wake up, she looked at him with misty almond eyes, her body was curvy, and her snow-white jade feet stepped on the warm jade, flowing bit by bit, and the beauty was like a shadow under the moon.
This girl was raised by him single-handedly, and she was hidden in his palace.
Ying Zheng's eyes were a little trance, he walked over, hugged the girl horizontally, the girl's black hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his arms were on his shoulders, which was a kind of attachment that penetrated into the bone marrow, and he whispered: "Peach." “
"Uh-huh."
The girl's voice is also soft, reminding people of blooming stamens.
He branded a kiss: "Good." Sleep a little longer, it's still early, and I'm going to take care of things. ”
The girl was a little disappointed, lowered her eyelashes and did not speak.
When leaving, Ying Zheng stubbornly suppressed the urge to look back several times, he wanted to ask her if she was willing, but he was afraid that she would treat him as just a political brother, and he was afraid that he would only be a political brother in the future.
It's just that, I'd rather hate him, and he won't let go.
Kneeling in front of the candle, he used a grinding ingot to grind the ink for himself, and it was He's Meiyu next to him, when he raised the pen and dropped the first word, he thought a lot in his mind, and also thought of a lot of reasons for himself.
If the mediocrity of the king of Qin is spread to the ears of the six countries, the six countries can make the six countries more relaxed their vigilance, and they can focus on the palace infighting, and they are easily afraid that they will not raise troops to attack Qin.
Second, Bai Tao is an orphan daughter of Zhao Kingdom, and if she ascends the throne, she is afraid that it will be difficult. But now that the aftermath of the eviction of guests, outsiders are all looking forward to the monarchy, and the inner clan is negligent in their hands, lest they be held accountable. At this time, the monarchy is condensed, and the opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thirdly, the Qin State has gone through turmoil, the queen mother was imprisoned, the Xiangguo died, the people calamated the country, the Yingfu guarded the heart, and the drought continued, and so on, it is indeed necessary to give the people new ardent expectations.
But there are thousands of reasons and reasons, but it is his selfishness.
He loved her alone.
That's all.
*
The second edict came down.
- Immediately.
The natural disaster was still raging at this time, but the barren land was silent, the hungry people were stunned, and the ministers in the court were even more stunned on the spot, only to see their king.
The ruler of the Qin State dropped the paperwork like a bird with feathers, and the ministers below stood stiffly like a wall and a door.
"Your Majesty, now the cost of repairing the canal is huge, and there is a great drought for many years, and it is an important matter for the country to be established, and the cost is so large, I am afraid that the treasury will be difficult to bear, and if it is a war at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise troops."
The Minister of Finance, who is in charge of the finances, can be regarded as having a word to advise.
He stepped forward tremblingly with a wat board, his white beard hung down like two brushes, it stands to reason that he is also an old minister, and the king of Qin has only been in office for a long time, so he should not be so afraid, but he can expel the guest.
The issuance of the eviction order not only curbed the throat of the Qin clan, but also curbed the lifeblood of foreign officials.
One faction is cautious in words and deeds due to mistakes, and the other faction is afraid of being expelled and walks on thin ice.
The King of Qin, who sat upright on the throne, was absolutely in control.
Ying Zheng said coldly: "Loneliness is gone. ”
The ministers were as silent as a tower, they didn't dare to refute, and they didn't dare to go against their king at this juncture, and for a while, even the dust in the palace fell, and they felt extremely weighed.
Li Si stepped forward at this time.
He raised his left foot and stepped out of his right foot, the wat board in his hand was raised high, and he knelt straight down: "Long live Jun Mountain, long live Jun Shang." The king's marriage, the king's ambition, the king has three out of twenty, the first to settle down can then level the world, the king's happy event is the well-being of the Qin people, but also the luck of the great Qin, the luck of the world! ”
After that, he shouted again, "Long live the king, long live the Great Qin!" ”
The ministers were as silent as death, and when the cold eyes of the king swept over, a few of them also knelt down, "Long live the king, long live the Great Qin!" Long live Junshang, long live Daqin! ”
But the monarch set up a Zhao girl as the queen, and there was a patriarchal system of betraying the ancestors.
Most people in the court were still arguing, but Ying Zheng just watched all this coldly, until he didn't know who had stopped, and the ministers in the back hall were silent one after another, and Ying Zheng slowly walked down, eight feet six inches graceful, majestic, and when he walked down, the crown covered his unpredictable face.
The ministers felt their flesh being beaten a little bit, their heads hanging lower, sinking into the flesh and bones, and even penetrating, nailing to their knees.
A dark light flashed under Ying Zheng's eyes, and he looked at the old minister who had taken the lead in resisting the loudest.
The old minister was stiff, and his knees trembled.
He said coldly: "In the age of the patriarch, he is old and weak, so it is better to return to his hometown to retire." ”
The old minister almost fainted.
The other ministers all had solemn faces, and the king even dared to imprison his own mother, and he cooked twenty-seven people to advise him, daring to bear the notoriety of unfilial piety like this, and his temperament was paranoid to this point, and now he wanted to marry an orphan daughter of Zhao as the queen. Was it useful for them to exhort him?
However, after King Qin married at such a juncture, it also proved a point. He is also a flesh-and-blood and human-minded young man, not just a prisoner mother, a middle-aged husband, an old minister, and a cold-blooded king from a distant clan.
Loyalty to a king who is affectionate and righteous is also what these ministers are happy to see in their hearts.
And just marry an orphan girl, with the heritage of several generations of the Qin State, where can it be extravagant?
One after another, no one disobeyed, and no one seconded: "Your Majesty - long live long live." ”
