The merchants dispersed, either in groups discussing their next steps, or pacing alone to think about their actions. Huang Xie saw that their demeanor was similar to that of the generals before the war, and he didn't feel it.

The retainers of the Huang family did not return until the afternoon. After coming back, he complained to Huang Xie: "The king of Qin has no way, many camps and palaces, and the land spans the north and south of Weishui. And that's a lot of things! After asking carefully, I learned that the first place the retainers went to was Xianyang City, which was located on the most plateau in Weibei and surrounded by palace walls. Miyagi had to enter through the south gate and travel a long distance to Jique on the northwest side, where he would report his mission to the servants; After reviewing the registration, the waiter gave them a document and asked them to transfer to the Zhangtai Palace in Weinan and register with the pawn; The pawn inquired about the situation, recorded and registered, and then gave them a document; They then returned to Xianyang Palace, showed the registration documents of the pawn to the attendants, who registered again, and issued a festival charm, asking them to come back in five days. The five retainers took a lot of effort to explain the whole process to Huang Xie, and showed the festival charms given by the waiters. Huang Xie took it and saw that the words "Right Fu to enter Xianyang Palace" were written on it.

Huang Xie said: "Report in five days, and it will be fast." Dan Rifu can be invited to see the Queen Mother and the Marquis, but the Chu people come to visit and want to meet them. "The five retainers should go.

The next day, they re-entered the Xianyang Palace to see the Empress Dowager and the Marquis. After the registration was completed as usual, they were sent to the Ganlu Palace to report to the Queen Mother; Then send them to the Wangyi Palace and report to the Marquis. This will make them run and break their legs. Ganlu Palace is still there, the location is on the south bank of Weishui, and the bridge is. Wangyi Palace can be far away on the bank of the Jingshui River in the north of Xianyang Palace.

Wei Ran, the Marquis of Qin, was the dowry of his sister Mi Bazi to the King of Qin, and at the same time he was accompanied by Xiang Shou, the cousin of Mi Bazi's mother's family, and Mi Rong, the younger brother of the Mi family. When he supported Qin Wangji to ascend the throne, Wei Ran was only in his thirties, but he was already in the palace struggle, assisting his sister Mi Bazi to defeat Huiwen. Since then, he has been at the center of the Qin State, and has personally commanded many battles on the front line, with great achievements. In and out of the phase, tearing the soil and sealing the marquis, he is an absolute winner in life. But most people don't know that Wei Ran is actually a famous qi practitioner, and this ability was learned from Chu State when he was a child. Every morning and night, when he gets up and lies down at night, he has to sigh at the sun and the moon, and if he can practice well, he often needs to practice for a while, or even a night. It is for this reason that although he is nearly seventy years old, he does not look old. It's just one thing, I am addicted to practicing qi, and I have no idea about women, and I have neither married nor given birth.

He has a mansion near Xianyang Palace, and the treasury is full of gold and jade. But he rarely went back to live in his home, preferring to live in Wangyi Palace, twenty miles north of Xianyang Palace. Wangyi Palace is said to be a palace, but in fact, it is more like a temple, and it is the place where King Qin worships the god of Jing. The palace is so tall that you can see the tall Mt. Saga in the distance. The upper side of the mountain is the world of the Rong people, in order to resist the Rong people down the mountain to attack, the king of Qin will his two younger brothers, Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui, in the north of Jingshui, south of Saga, Jingyang and Gaoling. And Wangyi Palace is the last line of defense to defend Xianyang.

It stands to reason that the threat of the Rong people in the north should be lifted, because Yiqu, the most powerful Rong people in the northern mountains, has become one with Qin: King Yiqu is now living in Ganlu Palace with the Queen Mother, and it has been more than 30 years, and the two sons of the two are no longer young, and they have long returned to Yiqu to take charge of state affairs, but they have to go back to Xianyang to visit their parents every New Year's Day. However, Wei Ran is not at ease with this situation: siblings are still fighting each other, not to mention brothers with different surnames. He believed that as long as there was an opportunity, Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui would not hesitate to attack Qin Wangji. He usually lives in Wangyi Palace more than when he returns home, so he carries this vigilance. Of course, the official and public statement is that the mountains and rivers of Wangyi Palace are beautiful and suitable for qi training.

Today's court is over, and after handling state affairs, it is past noon. Wei Ran returned to Wangyi Palace by car, and the waiter guarding the door reported that there was an envoy of the State of Chu just now, holding a calligraphy talisman in the waiter, asking to see the Qin Xiang. When Wei Ran heard that it was the Chu envoy, he frowned, and wondered in his heart: "Where are the Chu people?" ”

In the war against the Chu State, Wei Ran generally did not participate, after all, it was the state of his parents. Fortunately, in addition to Wei Ran, the god of war, there are also people Tu Baiqi and the veteran Sima Cuo. With the efforts of the latter two, the Chu people were ruined and fled to Chenqiu.

Last year, taking advantage of the victory in the Battle of Huayang, Qin signed an alliance with the Three Jin Dynasty to jointly attack other countries. During several internal discussions in the Qin State, Bai Qi strongly advocated attacking the Chu State first; And he himself prefers to attack the Qi State. The reason is that after the state of Chu retreated to Chenqiu, Qin's use of troops was very inconvenient and thankless; It is better to attack the Qi State and capture a few prosperous places more affordable. Although it has not been finalized, the king of Qin has already ordered Bai Qi to enter Ying, first reorganize the army, and prepare for battle.

Wei Ran asked the waiter, "Why should you?" ”

The squire said, "The minister will report it to the king in five days, but he will meet in five days." ”

Wei Ran said: "The envoy of Chu came from afar, he didn't know the truth and the truth, and the minister should be the first to be the king." ”

The squire said, "So the ministers went to the date of the covenant? ”

Wei Ran said: "I am willing to have a night banquet with him today." ”

The squire asked, "Where?" ”

Wei Ran said: "Wangyi Palace Gate." The squire left immediately and hurried to Xianyang Palace. found the pavilion where Huang Xie was staying in Xianyang Palace, and hurried there to convey Wei Ran's invitation to Huang Xie. Although Huang Xie was puzzled by Wei Ran's sudden invitation, he immediately replied, "Respectfully!" ”

He took twenty men and followed them with a chariot. Asked Mangshen to drive the leather car, and he and the waiter were separated, and they came to Wangyi Palace.

Wei Ran placed the banquet at the door of Wangyi Palace and did not let Huang Xie enter the palace. He was neatly crowned and strapped, wearing a long sword, and standing outside the palace gate. Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui, who live nearby, were also invited to talk together.

When the evening breaks, it's dusk. Wei Ran and the second son stood at the foot of the stairs together, giving each other hands. Huang Xie jumped out of the car and stood respectfully. Mr. Che You and Mr. Hu Zhong came up and stood around Huang Xie, and the three of them stepped forward together. Mr. Che You took a few steps closer and stepped forward to salute and said, "Prince Chu is respectfully ordered by the king to worship the Marquis of Qin!" ”

Wei Ran stepped forward and saluted: "Qin Gongzi Fu, Qin Gongzi Kui, I would like to welcome Chu Gongzi!" ”

Mr. Che You found that the situation was wrong, just now he was obviously talking about meeting with Qin Xiang, how did it become a meeting with Qin Gongzi? Although Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui are the brothers of King Qin's mother, their status in everyone's minds is naturally not comparable to the prestige of the marquis. But if you think about it carefully, the marquis is a foreign surname, and Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui are the real surnames, and the relationship between the marquis is that of a monarch and a minister. In order to have equal status, the marquis invited the two sons out, which also had his own intentions.

didn't have time to think about it, Mr. Che You said: "Chu Gongzi Xie, I would like to see Qin Gongzi!" ”

Wei Ran said: "Childe is thousands of miles away, prepare a banquet to wash it!" ”

Mr. Che You said: "Respectfully! ”

Knocking each other, Gongzi Fu and Gongzi Kui were promoted to the east step, and Huang Xie was promoted to the fourth order; After going up the stairs, he shook it again and sat down on the opposite side. Inside the palace gate, two teams of waiters walked out, each holding a few cases, five tripods and six squires, and serving them in front of the seats on both sides.

There was no usual singing remuneration, so everyone got started, ate three mouthfuls of food, and drank three mouthfuls of soup. Wei Ran said: "In the past, Qin Chu intermarried, and vowed to be good friends, in the eighteenth generation. King Huai was confused by slander, raised troops to attack Qin, Qin had no choice but to resist, the first battle of Danxi, and then the battle of Lantian. When the Queen Mother heard this, she shed tears. Now that the king is on the throne, he has repeatedly made peace with Chu, and he is allied with King Huai in Huangthorn, and the prince is in question. Unexpectedly, the prince betrayed the alliance and returned to the country by sneaking, but there was the defeat of Chongqiu and Xiangcheng. The king and the king of Huai were seen in Wuguan and returned to Xianyang together. The king followed the way, and the king was angry and angry. Then Chu abandoned the king and did not set up a new king. King Huai then died in Qin, and was buried in Chu, Qin made sacrifices, and there was no rudeness. Will Qi destroy the Song Dynasty, Qin and Chu will reunite in Wancheng, and fight Qi together. We will cut it down together with rudeness, and we will cut it down with the way. The king sent Nao's teeth into Qi, and the king of Qi ordered him to be the phase. Naoya then killed the king of Qi, treacherous and betrayal. Qin Zhi retreated, Chu and Jin besieged Yu Lin, and the ministers were embarrassed. Then there was Wu Anjun's move to invade the country. Yes, Qin and Chu are friends, Chu has repeatedly lost Qin, and Qin has finally failed Chu. ”

Huang Xie quietly listened to Wei Ran's words, bowed his hand, and replied: "In the past, Qin and Chu intermarried, and vowed to be good friends, in the eighteenth generation. Now the Empress Dowager of Qin, the daughter of Chu also; Now Chu Wang Ji, Qin Nu also. This is a good friend and swears to be the same family. However, there is Zhang Yi, who came to say that Qin is willing to negotiate with Chu for 600 miles, and he is willing to fight with Qi. Chu and Qi are absolutely separated, and Qin does not enter, and the king does not dare to work, but takes it by himself. The king of Qin is established, and Chu He is not the queen. The Yellow Thorn Alliance, the prince is in the quality, and he is despised by Doctor Qin. The prince was afraid of being hurt and died in Qin, but he sneaked back. Qin is absolutely stunned by this, and he is also confused! The first king went to Wuguan, but he was left by Qin, and he was treacherous, so much more! The first king was mourned in Qin, and the corpse was returned to Chu. Chu Di was all sad, and swore an oath: Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu. With his old feelings, the king couldn't bear to increase his troops, so he allied himself with Wancheng and fought together. The marquis is trapped in the forest, it is the Jin who did it, and the Chu army is in Qi, how can you know? And Qin Qian was angry with Chu and took my Qianzhong first; Chu is in alliance with each other, and it is dedicated to Hanyang and Shangyong to peace. Qin Wuyi, first take my Yan, Deng, 100,000 Chu people, drifting corpses in the river, and the water is overwhelming. Retake Wuxi Tomb and Yingdu, and the king of Yi moved eastward and left the land of his ancestors. The first king was unfortunate, and his bones were exposed! Although the village woman is a fool, she still has tears and blood in her eyes, and she doesn't share the sky! However, the king thinks about it, and repaying grievances with grievances is not an ancient precept. Although Qin complains about me, I should take it directly. Therefore, he ordered his ministers to enter Qin, listen to Chu's crimes, and change them. The resentment of Qin can also be eliminated. ”

Wei Ran also listened quietly, and said with a smile: "The debate of the son is beyond the reach of people." ”

Huang Xie said: "But when it comes to reason, I don't dare to argue with the elderly!" ”

Gongzi said: "Chu Jin attacked Qin Yu Lin Ye, it is clear that it is clear, how can you resign?" ”

Huang Xie said: "Qin's sins are counted, how can Chu be too much? However, Chu really didn't have a single soldier to add, so he didn't dare to respond. ”
