When the car arrived at Liangxiyi, Dr. Xu Jia reported that he went in, and the prince heard that Dr. Xu Jia was going and returned, knowing that there must be a change, and hurriedly went out to greet him. After the two salutes, he entered the hall.

Doctor Su Jia pretended to be mysterious and said to Prince Qin: "When the minister goes to the Wei Prime Minister's Mansion, please use the strategy to be worthy of the anger of Wei and reprimand the 'slaves'." The minister asked slowly, but he knew that Qin had been in the shadow and the wall. This Qin betrays the alliance also. I'm afraid that the prince may not know, so I am here to inform. While speaking, he observed the prince's demeanor.

Sure enough, when Prince Qin first heard Su Jia's words, his color changed, his face was red for a while, white for a while, and after Dr. Xu Jia finished speaking, he barely calmed down his excitement and said, "It's unknown to the minister." The doctor knows it in detail. ”

Dr. Suja said: "There may be misinformation, but it is not known. If you betray the alliance, the prince should prepare it as soon as possible! The minister did not dare to wait long, and he was willing to resign. In the matter of Anyi, may the prince plan his plan as soon as possible! ”

Prince Qin said: "The minister has heard nothing about the betrayal of the alliance, and it should be a rumor!" In the matter of Anyi, the ministers should seek the doctors. ”

Dr. Sujia shook his hand and said, "Don't dare to hear, don't dare to hear!" Now Wei is angry, can calm its anger, or its profit; I'm afraid it won't be good for the prince. ”

Prince Qin said: "If Qin Cheng betrays the alliance, he dares to be a wok!" ”

Dr. Sujia said: "Not here, not here." "Hurried away. He already knew very well that the crown prince really didn't know anything about it, so even if he threatened it, he couldn't extort anything.

After Dr. Sujia left, a group of practitioners and retainers hurriedly gathered around, and one said: "What a sudden change! ”

One said: "How to keep the prince Jin'an?" ”

One person said: "May the prince find a way out as soon as possible!" ”

One said: "The ministers are willing to protect the prince and sneak out of the beam." ”

Prince Qin glanced down coldly and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

The cold question calmed everyone, and everyone looked at each other, at a loss for a while. After a moment of coldness, one person said: "The ministers heard that Wei would not be conducive to the prince, so they dared to speak out." ”

Prince Qin said: "The ministers are ordered by the king, and they are hostage to Wei, and there is no king's order now, why should they leave?" ”

One person said: "Wei will not be good for the prince, and the prince would rather be in danger?" ”

Prince Qin said: "Doctor Wei moves with words, if we wait for Emperor Zhang, we will sit on Qin's back alliance." I didn't dare to hear it. Everyone's expressions softened slightly.

Prince Qin replied and asked, "Zhu Qing is inquiring day and night, can you get the affection?" What's going on in Yicheng? ”

One of them replied: "The merchant travel that the ministers have obtained has not heard of any difference in Yicheng. Now it is time to examine it carefully. ”

Prince Qin said: "What does Doctor Sujia mean by going and returning?" Qin's attack on Wei Yuan was at the beginning of the year, and it was unheard of. Now it is said that there must be a reason for it. Or do something in Yicheng, it is not known. We don't know the details, and we act recklessly, for fear of mistaking national affairs! ”

One person said: "The prince, the prince, move the country, and do not stand in danger." His subordinates acted recklessly and put the prince in danger, wouldn't the prince protect himself? ”

Prince Qin said: "Wang Zhi is thoughtful, how dare his subordinates act recklessly." With the momentum of the marquis, the power of Wu'an, all loyal and exhausted, how can Hedong act recklessly! ”

One person said: "Non-ministers dare to doubt the king." However, Jia suddenly warned him, and he could not ignore it. ”

Prince Qin said: "Report Xianyang at night with important things." Let all of us be in peace, every man in his place, and not be alarmed. Then he asked: "Yibian Wei Ying, is there any movement?" ”

One person reported: "I haven't seen it. However, there are many patrols, and they are indispensable. ”

Prince Qin said: "But I haven't stopped in the post, and if I let me go in and out to visit, there will be no other reason." All are safe! Then he waved for the crowd to leave.

The highest title that accompanied the prince into the quality beam was a fifth doctor. He manages all the day-to-day affairs of the inn, and three public attendants assist in handling specific matters. The prince was accompanied by three concubines and three domestic servants. Although the others have their own division of labor, they are actually all-rounders. Usually, when reporting to Xianyang, they are all assigned in turn, and there is no special arrangement. But today's situation is special, and the five doctors specially sent a man who is known for his quick action to Xianyang, and repeatedly told him to convey the news that the Wei State will be unfavorable to the crown prince. Then he sent a dozen or so people to scatter to the various markets and neighborhoods to investigate the movements of the city. The rest of the people paid close attention to the movement in the direction of the beam and the dynamics of the surrounding Wei army, and were ready to respond at any time.

When Wei Qi informed Xinlingjun of the movement of Yicheng, Xinlingjun was also taken aback. It stands to reason that there is such a big movement in Yicheng, he should be able to get the news quickly. On the one hand, he reassured Wei Qi and told him not to act in a hurry, and on the other hand, he sent guests out to investigate, and even went straight to Yicheng.

It wasn't until two days later that the doorman gradually reported back, and the news he got from Luoyang was that the transaction that he had to go to Anyi to exchange grain for salt in the past could now be completed in Yiguan. And the people who came to Yicheng came back to report that Yicheng was as comfortable as usual, the market was prosperous, and there was no sign of sword soldiers. Since he could not disclose his identity, the doorman did not meet with the officials of Yicheng. But he reported back a piece of news: for several months, the Qin people had been openly active in Yicheng, recruiting displaced people to Anyi; After the winter, the activities of the Qin people decreased, but the migration did not stop, but it was only completed by the officials of Yicheng. As the number of displaced people decreases, law and order on the streets seems to be improving.

Shinling-kun immediately felt that something was wrong. The Qin people personally went to the Wei realm to recruit displaced people, which had never happened before, on the contrary, because the Qin people did not trust outsiders, they preferred to leave only the land and drive out the aborigines. So he sent a large number of guests to Yicheng again, and entered Anyi with a camera to inquire about the situation.

When the doormen came out of the pass, they immediately noticed that something was wrong: outside the pass, an avenue was extending along the road to the pass, and it was the Qin prisoners who built the road: their characteristic uniform brown clothing guaranteed that they would not be mistaken. But someone with a heart observed that many of these people had the accent of Sanjin, not Qinyin.

Continuing deeper, you can find that the settlements along the way are well maintained, and the dilapidated buildings have been repaired, and obvious traces of repair can still be seen. Juyi has clearly been transformed, most notably a square, apparently deliberately leveled. Although it was winter, there were people training in the square every day. Although this was also advocated by the Wei state, the disciples apparently believed that such a scene in such a distant place could not be attributed to the diligence of the Wei officials, but should have been taken over by the Qin.

Everywhere they went, someone would come back to report; And every time he got a report, it made Xinlingjun unbelievable: could it be that a place that was neatly governed was a sign of the invasion of the Qin people, and chaos was the normal state of Wei's governance? In particular, the local population has accepted governance almost peacefully. Shouldn't the vanquished be ravaged by the spoils of the victors? Shouldn't it be trembling under the suppression of force?

Despite these doubts, he made clear a basic fact: the Qin had taken control of Yidao, and even of Yicheng, and had adopted a peaceful approach that had never been heard of.

When Xinlingjun's disciples were still listening to the news on the road, the road construction army had already entered the Yiguan and began to build the road from the Yiguan to the Yicheng. After Xinlingjun finally learned about the Qin occupation of Yidao, when he consulted with the ministers of the court, everyone expressed their wonder at the news sent back by Xinlingjun's disciples: how could Yishou collude with the Qin people like this? In particular, Duan Zigan especially did not believe that Yidao was lost, and the arsenal he had established in Yuancheng was operating smoothly, mining, smelting, casting, and polishing, without any loss. He suggested that Yi Shou be recalled to the girder and questioned in person. King Wei only asked, "What is Prince Qin?" ”

Wei Qi reported: "It's in the pavilion, nothing else!" ”

King Wei said: "If Qin takes my city, I will take his life!" Everyone was helpless against King Wei's willfulness.

Because Duan Zigan insisted, and Duan Zigan was very popular with King Wei, Xinlingjun was not too rebellious, and in fact, he didn't have any good way,—— should he send troops from Daliang over? I had to agree with the courtier's opinion, send a messenger to recall the guard, and ordered the captain to act as the guard.

When the envoy arrived at the city, he was completely stunned by what he saw: a wide, flat avenue winding out of the valley to the foot of the city. Countless Qin prisoners toiled on the construction site. The city is a peaceful scene, with many shops and customers. Due to the proximity of the Wei New Year, there was an endless stream of people who went to the city to sell local products and buy New Year's goods. The messenger showed the amulet and entered the county hall. Soon you can hear the sound of golden drums in the county government, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the fragrance of meat. That night, the messenger stayed in the pavilion.

But that night, a rumor quickly spread in the city: the king of Wei listened to the rumors and wanted to summon the guards into the Liang to ask for guilt! Yi Shou ran Yicheng for many years, and now its prosperity is due to Yi Shou's alliance with Qin. If the guards leave, Qin will meet the sword soldiers, and there will be a river of blood in the city at that time...... Before dawn the next day, a group of Chinese people surrounded the pavilion and asked the envoys not to take away the guards and save the lives of the people in the city. The messenger came out to meet everyone. A squire excitedly told him that the prosperity of Yicheng today depends on the decision of Yishou, and confirmed the alliance with Qin, and now there are fewer displaced people in Yicheng, public order has been restored, commerce has prospered, and a salt and grain trading center has been set up in Yiguan to seek a lot of benefits for the country. May the king not listen to slander, stay in office, and all the people will obey the order! The squire's words were half-literate and half-white, mixed with local language, Nanyang Jinyin was different from Daliang, and the envoy listened hard for a long time before he understood what he meant, and he dared not to return to the country. Isn't that the other way around! He rebuked the squire and said, "The major affairs of the country are not discussed by the villagers in the countryside!" Some royal things, the mission is not successful, and everyone who is with them will be killed! ”

The squire did not flinch, but repeatedly declared, "...... May the envoy reach heaven to listen, obey the will of the people, and do not rebel against the people of the city! ”

At last, the messenger was furious, drew his sword, and said, "Death to any more admonishers!" ”

A person next to him suddenly shouted: "What is the reason why the king's envoy does not obey the will of the people, but wants to indulge in evil!" The messenger was furious, and came up with his sword and stabbed him. I didn't want to be flashed by that person, so I kicked him in the lower abdomen, fell on his back, and the sword in his hand fell far away. The entourage wanted to step forward to help, but a group of people rushed up and said: "The envoy has reached heaven to listen to the will, and it is unrighteous to go against the will of the people today!" What a kill! Then they came up and beat them, so that they were so frightened that the attendants scattered. The group lifted the messenger from the ground, slapped him in the left hand, slapped him in the right, punched him in the waist, and kicked him in the back, so that he was so dizzy that he almost lost consciousness.
