Chapter 141: Prince Qin
Living alone in Daliang is actually very lonely: I don't dare to go out easily, for fear of accidents; I didn't dare to find someone to chat with, for fear of inadvertently revealing something and setting off shocking waves; The women of Wei State dare not ask for it, it is basically a spy lurking by the pillow, even if it is not at first, it will be after a long time, because her parents, brothers and sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts are all in Wei State, and it is easy to show something when she walks around with relatives and friends!
In the court of Wei, the people who connected with him were Dr. Xu Jia and Wei Qi, they were both busy people, and it was difficult to meet each other. Xinling Jun, who held the state, was always hostile to Qin, and except for a courtesy visit, he hardly met the Qin prince.
It has been almost two years since he left the Qin State. King Qin passed the message that Gongzi had made a meritorious service, and he would be solemnly established as An Guojun in the New Year of this year, and re-named "Zhu", which made the prince feel pressure, and even the people of Wei believed that if An Guojun's merits overshadowed the prince, it would be a matter of time before the prince was deposed. However, everyone adopted another way of saying and comforted the prince: "An Guojun has great merit, and he is more hostage than the prince to Wei!" The prince also smiled generously: "Brother Yu is weak when he is young, so close to the bed, since he stood up unintentionally, he can do this!" His son is Xifan, and he has a lot of me! ”
The rewards given by the Qin State to the crown prince have been continuously transported through Luoyang since the autumn harvest. It was during that time that the Wei State strengthened its vigilance against the crown prince, so at first the prince thought that it was out of vigilance against the frequent visits of the Qin people. But it soon became clear that this was not the case, because the point of the vigilance seemed to be to prevent Childe from escaping. The plans of each county were also reported to the prince, but because there were too many counties, the prince couldn't remember them, and no one paid attention to them.
October New Day is the New Year of the Qin State. Before and after this, the prince of Qin held a banquet in the pavilion every day to entertain the ministers and ministers of Wei, and on the New Year's Day, he met the king of Wei and accepted the reward of the king of Wei. At the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and it was completely a harmonious and friendly atmosphere. The prince wondered in his heart, if there was no reason, why would he make a big fuss outside the pavilion; If there is something, isn't it just right to talk about it at the feast?
When the excitement on the prince's side passed, Dr. Sujia came to report that in October, Xinling Jun wanted to enjoy the autumn moon with the prince. The prince's heart was excited, but his face was silent, and he said: "Su Yan believes in Ling Junxian, and the minister has lived in Daliang for a long time, and he lost his opinion. I have to be invited today, how fortunate it is! ”
The two sides talked about some topics such as weather and terroir, and Dr. Su Jia asked: "Or maybe Wang Keqing Zhang Lu, the people of Shiwei, and the prince knows about it?" ”
The prince said: "Zhang Qingchu as for Qin Ye, during the rebellion of Yiqu, Qing Nai helped Huayangjun to cultivate the road to Yiqu, and Yiqu was peaceful, and he won the king's will. Or smell its Wei people also. However, the Wei people now belong to the Qin land, or they are not Liang people. ”
Dr. Su Jia did not argue, and continued: "It is not only Zhang Qingye, but his subordinate Zheng Anping, or also Wei people. ”
The prince said: "If it is called the Zheng family, it will be the Zheng people." ”
Dr. Sujia was a little unconvinced, and said, "No." If you say that others, the ministers dare not speak, Zheng's Anping, prominent in Liang, cover it to save the letter of Lingjun! Take the merit as a sergeant, order in control, and then abscond in fear. ”
The prince was stunned for a moment and said, "Since the doctor says his name and origin, he must know his person well." Absconded in Qin, and there was a gap in Wei? ”
Dr. Sujia said, "Definitely. In the past Wei Dynasty, there was a debater Fan Ju, who was guilty of the country and would be flogged to death. has fled. Or it is said to be in the possession of the Zheng family. ”
The prince smiled: "Doctor, do you want to get the Fan family and the Zheng family?" If I return, I must ask about it. ”
Doctor Su Jia said: "The Zheng family has made great contributions to Wei, but the Fan family has the crime of betraying the country, and it is bound to be obtained." ”
The prince said: "You must consult the Zheng family." ”
Doctor Su Jia said: "Today, I heard that Zhang Qing and the Zheng family are from Hedong together. Hedong, so Wei Anyi is also, now Hedong, what is its intention? ”
The prince said: "The king set up Hedong, and the ministers are in Daliang, so they have not discussed with the court." However, although Anyi is the homeland of Wei, it has been given to Yiyi, and it is also the way of government. ”
Doctor Sujia said: "Anyi, the land of the old Jin, the three Jin Dynasty rely on Yan." Although Wei is dedicated to the big country, and is adjacent to Han and Zhao, I am afraid that it will not be at peace! ”
The prince said: "Han, also Qin Meng." The prosperity of Anyi is also, and Han will be happy. Wouldn't it be peaceful! ”
Dr. Sujia said, "Definitely. The salt of the solution pond is connected to the world, and the people rely on it. Now I heard that Zhang Qing accepted it as an official, and cut off the salt of the world. I am afraid that the princes will be uneasy. ”
The prince said: "The benefits of the mountains and rivers are returned to the Yu people, and the etiquette is also." Those who have villains will gain salt industry in vain and cause trouble to the world. Today's official closure is why it benefits the world. Why are the princes uneasy? ”
Doctor Sujia said: "Hedong is to order the princes to transport grain and two stones to Hedong, but to get stone salt, this is inconvenient." ”
The prince scratched his head and asked, "What is the price of the salt of the world?" ”
The person next to him replied: "A kettle of salt is worth more than 100 yuan." ”
Then the prince asked, "What is the price of grain?" ”
He replied, "One stone of grain is worth thirty." ”
The prince said: "The two stones of grain are only sixty yuan, and the salt stone is too much for the kettle." Isn't it good for the world? Why is it inconvenient for the princes? ”
Dr. Sujia said: "In the past, the salt of Anyi was transported four times, and salt merchants from all over the country were able to exchange their local products. Now, not only the local products are not good, but also the money, but the millet will be salted, so that the millet of the world will be expensive, but the native products will not be good. It is inconvenient. ”
The prince said: "Isn't it okay to exchange local products for millet?" ”
Dr. Su Jia said: "The so-called local producers, produced locally, will get the price of the other country, where can the capital get Jia?" ”
The prince said: "It's easy to be in another country, isn't it?" ”
Dr. Sujia said: "Yes, the salt merchant will turn into a mountain merchant!" ”
The prince said: "Yes, it is not something that the ministers can understand." Hedong is short of grain, but salt is easy for millet, isn't it? Seeing that the topic could not be discussed, Dr. Sujia made small talk for a while and resigned.
The prince immediately called an entourage and ordered him to add an item to the document reported to Xianyang: Daliang is short of salt, and the Wei people do not want to trade grain, but are willing to trade local products; Xinlingjun is willing to meet the prince with this. Xianyang and Daliang messengers, ten days for a trip is the norm, if there are special circumstances, travel at any time. But they generally don't do this, because doing so is equivalent to telling the Wei people plainly that the situation we are talking about today is very important to Qin!
About ten days later, Xinlingjun sent people to the pavilion to receive the prince, and the prince led a hundred retinues and a hundred swordsmen to go with him, and the five hundred guests sent by Xinlingjun were guarding the periphery. Mr. Zhong Yue drove to the front, and the prince was behind, and he came to the Wei Gongzi Mansion.
The Wei Gongzi Mansion is actually on the periphery of the Wei Palace, which is part of the royal city. Not far from it, it is Wei Qi's Prime Minister's Mansion. When the crown prince arrived, he saw Xinlingjun and Wei Qi standing in front of the palace gate to greet him. The prince asked him to stop driving, and when Mr. Zhongyue came to ask, the prince said: "The princes are all here, so I have to drive there, and I am willing to take it!" So he left his retinue and swordsman a hundred paces away, and took only one guest with him. Mr. Zhong Yue walked forward quickly and sang: "Prince Qin! ”
Xin Lingjun and Wei Qi both saw the prince coming, and when they saw Mr. Zhongyue singing praises, the two of them also took a few steps forward together, bowing from a distance. The prince hurriedly walked a few steps, came to ten steps away, and also bowed to salute, and the guest behind him sang: "Prince Qin respectfully obeys the order, and he is to Xinling Jun!" ”
Wei Qi replied behind Xinlingjun: "Wei Gongzi Xinlingjun dares to bow to Prince Qin!" Someone behind him offered a wild goose, and Xinling Jun bowed to the ground and saluted respectfully. Prince Qin replied with a deep bow, and Qin Bin said: "Xinling Jun is stubborn, Prince Qin doesn't dare to take it, I am willing to pay it back!" ”
Wei Qi said: "Dare to offer with sincerity, and I hope the prince will stay." If he didn't say goodbye, the guest called an entourage and took the wild goose. Xinling Jun got up, and then waved at Prince Qin, Wei Qi said: "Please invite the prince into the mansion!" The door of Wei Gongzi's mansion was wide open, and the guests on both sides held torches, shining like day. Two princes were in front, and two guests followed, one on the left and one on the right, and climbed the steps and entered the palace gate. After entering the mansion three times, Xinlingjun and Prince Qin entered the hall together and sat down as guests. The guests on both sides sang and harmonized, and the etiquette was performed to ten points! Subsequently, Wei Qi introduced today's escorts, who were the doctor Jin Cong, Xinling Wei Mang, the doorman Zhang Yu and Mr. Zhong Yue. These four people went to the court and greeted the prince, and the prince replied one by one. Four people were seated. The prince's retinue and swordsmen were arranged in the lower court of the hall, and sat together with the guests of Xinlingjun. Behind the curtains in the lobby, there were bursts of golden and jade sounds; The handsome young man presented a few cases, seven tripods and five guis, and filled the table of Xinlingjun and Prince Qin. In the seats of the accompanying guests, the specifications are lower, and there are still five tripods and three tripods. The crown prince and Xinlingjun took turns to hold the lamp, drinking and eating. In the open space in front of the stairs, eight teams of dancers danced. The fire in the hall is bright, and the guests and hosts frequently persuade each other, and they are happy.
The major doctors and guests who accompanied each other at the next table also raised wine one after another, for the longevity of King Qin and Prince Qin. The prince of Qin also raised wine for Wei Wangshou and Xinling Junshou. The firelight is swaying, the red shadows are swaying, the jade pendant is dingdong, and the bell is ringing. After eating and drinking, several cases were withdrawn. Xinling Jun asked the prince to step out of the hall. The bright moon is in the sky, cloudless for thousands of miles, and the sky is colorful. The dancers in front of the stairs have changed several times, but the dance has never stopped. Xinling Jun struck the festival and sang: "The moon rises brightly, and the best people are shining." Shu is entangled, and he is quietly tired. ”
Prince Qin also struck the festival and made peace: "The moon rises brightly, and the best people are afraid." Shu Xie is embarrassed and tired. ”
The two sang at the same time: "The moon rises brightly, and the best people are burning." Shu Yao is miserable, and his heart is miserable. ”
Everyone was on the side, high-fived together, and beat the two of them. After the two of them finished singing, Wei Qi praised loudly: "Qin and Jin, long marriage." Qin and Wei are also married. The so-called hard work is quiet, tired, and miserable. Sijun Wangjun, don't abandon each other. ”
Qin Bin corresponded: "Good, Wei Xiang's words are also." The Qin and Wei alliances are good, like the moon, even if there are clouds covering the moon, it will not last long. ”
Wei Qi said: "Honestly. Anyi, so Wei Yi, and returned to Qin, like a cloud covering the moon. ”
Prince Qin's heart moved, why did he suddenly talk about Anyi at this time? Does Wei want to get Anyi back?
