Chapter 21: The Worries of the Carp
The death of the First Emperor has made the world one after another, the Quartet is in turmoil, and some anti-Qin forces are gradually seeking their own place, in Suiyang Zhou Mansion, in a very secret basement, Zhou City, Li Yan, Wei Qi and Wei Bao are surrounded together, they are discussing whether they can take advantage of the death of the First Emperor to recover the Wei State.
At this time, Wei Bao had already said angrily: "The Qin State is in mourning, and there are few defenders in various places, it is a good time to raise troops to restore Wei, everyone, I think the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again!" ”
Wei Bao also nodded on the side, he also thought that he could give it a try, at this time, there was a brief silence in the secret room, everyone was pondering, and on the side, Li Yan was also moved, and he said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will gather people and raise the flag on a certain day." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Shi raised his hand and shouted: "Absolutely not." ”
After a pause, Zhou Shi sorted out the words in his heart, pondered for a while, and continued: "Now that all countries have been destroyed, the Qin State has been unified for many years, the people's hearts are stable, Wei Di is no longer the Wei Land of the year, we are soft-spoken, it is not enough to shake the world and drive the rise of the descendants of various countries, if it is only an uprising in Suiyang, the Qin State will concentrate superior forces and wantonly kill in Suiyang, at that time, we will backfire, but will lose the backbone of the restoration of Wei, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Shi sighed lightly and instructed everyone: "Let's bear with it for the time being and wait and see what happens." ”
。。。。。。
In Xiapi City, in the Gongsun Mansion, Zhang Liang's father and son sat at the table, also discussing this issue, the death of the first emperor, the Qin State will inevitably fall into the battle for the crown, how should the Zhang family develop the power of Fuhan?
From the rise of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, South Korea has grown from weak to strong, in the middle, how much bitterness and bitterness, how much white bones have piled up, and now, the time is gradually ripe, and it is time to consider the great cause of reviving Korea.
Zhang Liang is still pondering, which force will be the first to attack? Could it be Canghai-kun? Although he lives in Suiyang, he is actually a member of the Wei family and the backbone of the revival of the Wei State.
Judging from the fact that he selected the dead for himself back then, the assassination of the first emperor Yu Bolangsha is probably because Zhou Shi wanted to kill people with a knife and use himself.
But right now, what Zhang Liang is most concerned about is whether they will seize this opportunity? Whoever comes out first means who will directly face the large-scale suppression of the Qin State, and the pressure can be imagined, and once no one responds or falls short, there will be no place to die.
Thinking about it, Zhang Liang's thinking gradually shifted to Xiang Liang's body, the Xiang family was waiting for the Huiji, they were far away from Guanzhong, far away from the political center of the Qin State, I am afraid that the Qin State's management of the frontier will not be too strong in these years, and from the perspective of strength, the Xiang family is definitely capable of taking on the heavy responsibility of opposing Qin, if from this point of view alone, Zhang Liang is still more supportive of the Xiang family.
But Xiang Liang is also cautious, he is not absolutely sure, he will not make a move easily, judging from the first emperor's transit meeting, he has held back, let alone at this time?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the oil lamp quietly, perhaps, he should also be patient for the time being, waiting for the sudden change of the situation, at this time, Zhang Budo on the side asked softly: "Father, why don't we unite the Xiang family?" From Xiapi and Huiji at the same time, disturb the eastern border of the Qin State, and cause chaos in other countries, in this way, the anti-Qin forces in the world will inevitably respond one after another, and the Qin State can be destroyed. ”
His son's analysis is not unreasonable, but the gun shot the first bird, Zhang Liang still wanted to choose forbearance, he looked at his son, shook his head and smiled: "The time is not ripe." ”
。。。。。。
In the Lu Mansion of Wu County, everyone gathered in the secret room, this meeting, the Xiang family had two more people, one was the official worship of the general Yu Zi period, the other was Huan Chu of the mountain above, Huan Chu at this time, has gathered nearly 4,000 people, his main weapon source is from the Xiang family, most of the armed weapons are crossbows and Ge, the cost is low, the cost is not high, and the manufacturing speed is fast, but there are also some soldiers and horses equipped with shields and swords.
It can be said that at this time, the Xiang family already had enough strength to overthrow Yin Tong and take possession of Huiji, and moreover, Qin Shihuang died suddenly, and during the great death of Qin, it was the best time to rebel.
But this matter is important, and it is not something that one or two people can decide, so today, after getting the news of the death of the First Emperor, everyone gathered together.
Xiang Liang coughed dryly, he looked at everyone, his voice was slightly tired, and he said in a deep voice: "The emperor of Qin has died, the country is shaken, the world is waiting, and the people everywhere are looking forward to the re-emergence of the six countries. ”
Xiang Yu couldn't help laughing, and slapped his waist knife on the table, "If my uncle has decided, I am willing to use the sword to pass the head, bring the sacrifice flag, and send troops to Daqin!" ”
"Okay, Brother Yu is ambitious, I am willing to be the deputy and go out together." On the side, Huan Chu also laughed, and everyone present nodded and smiled, but at this time, Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Brothers, listen to me." ”
Xiang Zhuang got up and walked a few steps in the house, and then said slowly: "Although the Qin State has suffered a great loss, the country is still there, there are no less than 500,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and the defenders from all over the country add up to 450,000, and in the current situation, it is very difficult to overthrow the Qin Dynasty." ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang looked at everyone, many of them didn't understand, it's no wonder, the last time the First Emperor toured the East, when everyone was ready to assassinate the First Emperor, they came out to oppose it, and now the First Emperor died, when everyone was ready to rise up, they came out to oppose it again, and whoever they changed, they would not feel good, but the situation was like this, I had to say, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang said: "I remember that my uncle once taught me that the teacher is straight and strong, and the song is old, and now Qin II has not been so mediocre that the people can't bear it, and the First Emperor has just died." , everyone is waiting and seeing, hoping that the Qin State can get rid of the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and get rid of the Quartet conscription, so how many people are willing to support the anti-Qin? ”
Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang sighed, looked at Xiang Liang, and said sincerely: "In that case, why don't we continue to wait and see, wait for others to take the first step, and then we will respond, and the fisherman will benefit?" ”
Xiang Zhuang's words have gradually moved everyone, Xiang Liang also nodded slightly, at this time, Xiang Zhuang said: "Please believe me, soon, someone will rise up, and the pattern of the world will change greatly." ”
。。。。。。
Because of the death of the First Emperor in the street, there were few people, white cloth banners were hung everywhere, and the Qin army wrapped in white cloth patrolled the street, and there was a depressed and murderous atmosphere everywhere.
In front of every house, a white cloth must be hung to show the grief for the national mourning, and the Confucian Mansion living in Suiyang is no exception, two white lanterns in front of the house, next to the lantern, two white cloths fluttering in the wind, which was originally used to pay tribute to Xiangzhuang, but after the national mourning, the Confucian Mansion did not remove the white cloth, and still kept it.
In the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, there is a table with an oil lamp wrapped in a white cloth on it, and next to the oil lamp, there are several bowls of wine and a few plates of beans.
A spirit card written with a red pen is placed in the center of the offering table, which reads 'The Spirit of the Ancestor Xiang Zhuang', in front of the spirit card, Kong Xiuyun lit an incense stick, put it in the furnace, looking at the name of Xiang Zhuang on the spirit card, Kong Xiuyun unconsciously shed tears.
Since she learned that Xiang Zhuang was split by the imperial court car and died, Kong Xiuyun's heart also died, she had imagined 10,000 beautiful dreams, all of which disappeared with Xiang Zhuang's death, and her future and her marriage were all ruined in the hands of the First Emperor.
Therefore, the death of the First Emperor did not make Kong Xiuyun feel sad, but had a feeling of great happiness.
At this time, Kong Xiuyun sat aside, she picked up the oil bowl, added oil to the oil lamp, and whispered softly: "Husband, the emperor is dead, you are below, you can rest in peace." ”
Not far away, Kong Kun looked in his eyes, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, his daughter is still very young, she can't ruin her life because of this kind of thing, thinking of this, Kong Kun walked over slowly, coughing dryly, at this time, Kong Xiuyun found Kong Kun coming over, she hurriedly got up, and said softly: "Father, you are here." ”
Kong Kun nodded slightly, looking at his slightly haggard daughter, Kong Kun sighed distressedly: "Yun'er, you are still young, the road is still long, forget Xiangzhuang and start your own new life." ”
Hearing her father's words, Kong Xiuyun shook her head unacceptably and said excitedly: "I really love him, father, don't force me to ......"
"But you haven't been to the door, you're not a member of the Xiang family, you can remarry, do you understand?" Seeing that his daughter was stubborn and extremely dissatisfied, Kong Kun couldn't help but raise his voice, but his daughter still shook her head stubbornly and cried: "No, father, since he caught the hydrangea that day, I have been his person!" ”
Kong Xiuyun turned her head to look at the spirit card, she would not find another lover because of Xiang Zhuang's death, she wanted to be widowed for Xiang Zhuang, thinking that Xiang Zhuang was killed by a car, the tragic situation can be imagined, Kong Xiuyun's tears fell again, Kong Kun saw that her daughter was so obsessed, and she was unwilling to persuade again, so she sighed and left.
Coming out of the backyard, Kong Kun walked back to his room quickly, the death of the First Emperor, for many people, it is the coming of opportunity, or a turning point of an era, their long-planned plan to restore the country, will break out silently at this time, but this is only Kong Kun's thoughts.
The Qin State is still very strong, at this time, it may not be the best time, and it may not overthrow the Qin Dynasty, Kong Kun sighed again, he had to sigh that the situation is changing rapidly, last year he got a good son-in-law, and Fusu met, this year, the son-in-law Xiang Zhuang died in the struggle for power between Fusu and Hu Hai.
Now, her daughter has never forgotten Xiang Zhuang, and she has persuaded her several times that she can't change her daughter in the slightest, can she just let herself watch her daughter go on like this?
Kong Kun was deeply worried, but he was helpless, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of his son Kong Ji sounded: "Father, can I come in?" ”
Kong Kun sorted out his emotions, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
Kong Ji opened the door and walked in, bowed in front of Kong Kun, and then handed a letter to his father, and said softly: "The person who came claimed to be a staff member in the Zhou City Government, please reply to my father as soon as possible." ”
Kong Kun stared at his son for a while, took the letter, and read it, in the book, Zhou City, on behalf of the Wei family, greeted Kong Kun, and proposed that after the fall of Wei, the descendants of Wei often have the heart of recovering the country, but the time has not come, and now, Qin Shi Huang collapsed, the world is disturbed, it is a good time, I hope that Kong Kun can assist Wei together, he day, high-ranking officials, unlimited.
After reading it, Kong Kun couldn't help laughing, "It seems that the descendants of the Wei State can't sit still." ”
Recalling the night banquet of Confucius Mansion that day, Wei Qi was also present, this son has a dream, his future is limitless, he was in alliance with the Xiang family, and he also considered assisting the Chu State, but now, Kong Kun feels that he should reconsider the current situation.
Kong Kun put the parchment roll on the oil lamp, watched the letter burn slowly, then threw the letter into the spittoon, fell into deep thought, I don't know how long it took, Kong Kun remembered his son Kong Ji on the side, and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired, you go back first, this matter will be discussed later." ”
Kong Ji clasped his fists and saluted: "My son retires." ”
