Xin Lingjun listened to Mr. Zhong Yue's explanation, and was amazed, and said, "What Mr. Wei taught, how can you know it?" “

There was still something that the doorman in the seat didn't understand, Zhang Yu explained: "The former, we will discuss it, but the language is the same as the king of Han, 'the king of Wei seals my management', and the king of Han responds, and he is forced." Today, Huang Gongjiao said to the king of Han, 'The king of Wei sealed me, and I will dedicate it to Han', Han did not accept it, and gave it also. It is easy to be forced to give, and King Han is angry for it, and the closer he is. “

A guest said: "Would you rather than give in to others?" “

Xinling Jun said: "Although the king of Han is a brother, the king of the alliance is also, and the ministers are under it, so it is not appropriate!" Non-condescending people also. “

A group of guests and Xinlingjun had a match, and talked about dinner.

On the first day of August, there was a light rain. People from all over the world who attended the funeral of the king of Han gathered the royal palace from each city. From the north gate of Zhengcheng to the Han Palace, a canopy was erected along the way; The improvised canopy was still dripping with water, not much better than the outside. However, compared to the autumn tiger, the light rain is more acceptable, and the funeral attendees are generally satisfied with the weather, believing it to be a blessing from God.

Of the five countries that came, four of the countries stayed in the north of the city, which is the right way for King Han's funeral. Only the city where the Chu State stayed was in the south of the city, and it was necessary to take a boat to the north of the city. Huang Xie took all the Chu soldiers and his entourage, more than 1,000 people, divided into more than 20 ships, and went up against the river. With a light rain in autumn and a pleasant climate, the prince and Huang Xie simply did not wear court clothes, only hemp; The rest of the retinue were all white-shirted; Chu pawn was covered in armor all over his body, and only a piece of white cloth was used to cover the armor.

The ship docked on the north shore of the city, and there was already a Han envoy who came to guide the position of the Chu soldiers, and a Han envoy led the prince and Huang Xie to the palace. The retinue was arranged to wait in the canopy, and only two people could enter the palace to serve along.

Chu has a long way to go, and he came last. When the envoys arrived, Han Xiang led him to the Jongmyo to meet the king of Han, and the Korean ministers were already waiting inside and outside the Jongmyo Temple. The envoys went to the palace and expressed their respective kings' condolences to the king of Han one by one, and offered their gifts. Each person only has a few official articles, and King Han respectfully replied one by one; And the gift has been made clear with Yousi long before entering Zheng, and now it is just a gift list and a formality.

Subsequently, the king of Han was above, the envoys were in the west, and a number of ministers were in the east, and they performed the sacrificial ceremony according to Han Ping's singing ceremony. Outside the hall, drums played in unison, and mourning erupted. Eight selected descendants of King Han lifted the coffin, and mourning erupted inside and outside the temple. The Han clan opened the way in front, the king of Han walked in front of the coffin, and the envoys of various countries and Korean officials (in fact, most of them were also Han) lined up on both sides of the coffin, and carried them all the way out of the hall and onto the hearse in the kneeling of the ministers outside the palace.

The door of the temple was wide open, and the hearse slowly drove out. Zheng Guocheng has already cleaned the streets, and there is not a single idle person waiting. After sending the hearse out of the city, the envoys returned to their ranks. Before and after King Han's coffin, there were 5,000 guards from Han pawns. After that, it is the funeral procession of various countries. Wei and Zhao are Han's brothers, on the left. In addition to Wei bringing a thousand soldiers, Xinlingjun also brought a thousand guests, which alleviated the embarrassment of Zhao's lack of soldiers to a certain extent - perhaps it was the result of Han Wei's coordination. Qin, Qi, and Chu totaled 2,500 people, listed on the right. South Korea has prepared a three-by-one leather chariot for each country's military formation, which is ridden by the chief and deputy envoys of each country, as well as the supreme commander of the army, and the royal hands are all Koreans.

When the military formations of various countries began to hit the road, the ROK advance guard had already crossed the pontoon bridge erected overnight on the Weishui River ten miles away, crossed to the west bank of the Weishui River, and entered a low mountain area. After the rearguard of the Korean army crossed the river, the troops of various countries roared with a golden sound, and the troops stopped in front of the pontoon bridge: the river boundary is equivalent to the yin and yang realm, and the funeral guests stopped here. After the armies of various countries sent the rearguard of the Korean army into the mountains according to the etiquette, they were led by the Han envoys and drove back to the city. Han envoy thanked the king again and again and left. The Chu army was more special, and it was only sent to the ship, and it said goodbye to the Han envoy.

After boarding the boat, the prince and Huang Xie changed out of the rain-soaked linen, put on light kudzu clothes, stood at the bow of the boat, faced the drizzle, and sailed back downstream.

When they returned to the city, the retainers who stayed behind reported: "Shen Gongzi and his party are here! ”

Huang Xie was stunned for a moment, but then felt that they had seized the timing very skillfully: South Korea's attention was on the northern city, and relatively speaking, if there was no major chaos in the south of the city, the general activities would not be noticeable.

Huang Xie said: "I will visit immediately." "I sent the prince into the room, settled down, let the prince drink flower tea, let him take a lunch break, and then came out, led by the retainer, to the room of the three of the Mangs.

Huang Xie arrived at the door of the room, knocked on the door to report, and Mangshen and the others immediately greeted the door and went down to the bottom of the stairs to worship. Huang Xie also returned the salute and said, "There are many people under Shen Gongzi Quli!" ”

Mang Shen said: "My father's face to face, the matter of Huang Gong is a monarch and minister, and he does not dare to disobey it." ”

Three people entered the room. Huang Xie said: "Those who dare to urgently invite Shen Gongzi and the second gentleman, in order to get the king's order, will be questioned by the prince in Qin's affairs." ”

The three of them had all been to Qin with Huang Xie, so they naturally knew about the diplomacy they had done a month ago, the alliance between Qin and Chu, and the prince of Chu as a hostage. But when Huang Xie met Zhang Lu on the shore of Weishui, he only said that he would go to South Korea to help the sacrifice, and did not say that after the funeral, he would send the prince to Qin. Mr. Che You was surprised and asked, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Huang Xie said: "I am afraid that the act of attacking Chu will be made, and I have to rush to make it." ”

Mang Shen said: "Huang Gong entered Qin, do you have to be allied?" But there will be a move to cut Chu? ”

Huang Xie said: "The prince has not entered, the oath has not been fulfilled, and there are politicians who want to defeat the alliance." ”

Meng Shen said: "Qin's politics is also competing? ”

Huang Xie said: "Politics and Taoism are competing, and things are always the same. diplomacy with countries, or desire for peace, or desire for war; Or war first and then peace, or peace first and then war. All countries are, and there is no difference. I look at Hu Yang, starting from the end of the micro, hair like thunder, depressed for a long time and can not stretch, once stretched, will want to fight. Now he is with Jingyang Jun in Han, and he must be guarded against. ”

Mr. Hu Zhong said: "Huang Gong's words are true. There is no need to attack it, and I can't attack it. Now that the prince of Huang Gong is in Qin, Qin will no longer discuss Chu and go back on his word. ”

Huang Xie said: "What is Mr. Fan's behavior? ”

Mr. Che You said: "Fan's family, Wang Zuozhicai, although he is good at Huang Gong, he is not his master." ”

Huang Xie was silent for a while, and said: "King Qin, the hero of the world." Fan's support will make a great achievement! ”

Mr. Che You said: "No! Fan, a true sage, if he helps Qin, he is afraid of trouble. ”

Huang Xie said: "Fan's plan is also in line with me." Although it is Qin, it will be harmless. ”

Mr. Che You said: "Then the plan will be released?" ”

Huang Xie groaned: "Sir, Wei Xiangsuo Fan is very anxious, what?" ”

Mr. Che You said, "Yes." ”

Huang Xie said: "Mr. secretly sent people to spread rumors in the market, saying that Fan Ju and the Huang Guild were in Weibian, what could it be?" ”

Mr. Che You said: "This is easy to hear, but wonderful!" May it be heard second. ”

Huang Xie said: "This is the end of it, there is no other one." After the month, Qin will make Yu Wei, and Fan's talent will also be able to come out; If it can't come out, it's not its talent. ”

Mr. Che You changed color when he heard this, and said, "The minister respectfully receives." I would like to stay here to help him. ”

Huang Xie said: "If Fan knows that Mr. is here, he must know that it is sold by Mr. , and it is not suitable for him." All three of them changed their complexions, and they couldn't reply. They were self-contained, alone, and without any external assistance, it was impossible for them to run from Wei to Qin; And this is the minimum standard for Huang Xie to employ people! "If it can't come out, it's not its talent"! Like a whip, it was whipped in the face of the three men......

Mr. Che You really only went out for half a day and came back. When Mr. Che You went out to run errands, the prince of Chu, the prince's mansion, the two attendants, the two guards, and the two cooks, a total of eight people, arrived by boat with gifts for the Empress Dowager Qin, as well as the prince's daily necessities. Huang Xie immediately sent his retainers to visit Jingyangjun, saying that the prince was ready to stop and could enter Qin at any time, and asked for a date to move into Qin's camp.

When Jingyang Jun heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately ordered two rooms to be vacated for the prince of Chu and his entourage to live in. And make an appointment to move tomorrow.

Huang Xie didn't dare to slack off, and immediately arranged all matters. Thousands of Chu soldiers, the original boat returned. Only two of Huang Xie's retainers remained; The three members of the Mang family are still Shen Gongzi and the second servant, accompanying them in the name of Huang Xie's concubine. The prince of the country, a total of fifteen people, is the entire team in Xianyang.

Huang Xie heard Jing Yangjun say that the best way to send gifts to Qin was to pick them, so he chose thirty-five loyal and brave Chu pawns, changed them to short brown, and only called them porters, picked gifts and everyone's belongings, and went with the team. He also bought a leather chariot and an an chariot in Zhengcheng for the prince's use, but only two horses were used.

Sleepless nights. The next day, the crown prince and Huang Xie saw off Chu and the members of the mission. The remaining fifty people were ready to stop, the prince got into the car, the prince Fu was the emperor, and the prince's mansion was the right side of the car, and drove forward. Huang Xie led Anche and followed. Mangshen pseudonym Shen Gongzi accompanies him in the name of his concubine. The other members were scattered around. Only the three people in the car did not carry their bags, and the rest of the people, including Huang Xie, each carried their own bags. The formation of thirty porters was the largest, walking at the rear. The porter was taken care of by the three of Shen Gongzi, and the people of the prince's mansion were taken care of by Huang Xie's retainers.

The group did not take another boat, but entered the city gate in a mighty way, passed through the city, went out of the north gate, and came to the city where the Qin people stayed.

The report went in, and it was called "please". The group followed a doctor into the city and entered the palace. Jing Yangjun and Hu Yang greeted them, saw the prince and his party, frowned, and said, "How can you be like a promise?" ”

Huang Xie reported: "There are eight people in the prince's mansion, five people from the left disciples, and a total of 15 people including the prince and the left disciples. In addition, on the orders of Jingyang Jun, there were 35 servants. Fifty people in total. ”

Hu Yang said: "In the city of a hundred households, there are fifty people in the left, where do the Qin people live?" ”

When Huang Xie heard this, he knew that the situation was wrong, and said: "I don't dare to disturb Qin Ye, but I can live under the eaves." ”

Hu Yang said: "Qin Lu, there are six people who enter the pledge. The rest didn't dare to ask. ”

Huang Xie said: "The prince sent six envoys, and the ministers were envoys, and they should go together." The rest of the porters, the maids also. ”
