The prince's affairs were decided in this way: he must not give in based on the threat to the prince, otherwise Wei will regard the prince as a cash cow and take it away. The result of everyone's discussion was: resolutely pointed out to Wei that if the crown prince was injured in the slightest, Qin would attack Wei with the whole country!

Next, Wei Ran reported on his separate meeting with Duan Zigan. Wei Ran said: "Duan Ziyan said that if Qin takes the wall and the wall without a fight, then Zhang Zi's merit is too much for the ministers. If you want to stop Zhang Zi's work, it must also belong to Wei Yuan and Yi. If you don't return to it, if you don't have to be a minister, Wei will cut off Taoyi and harm the prince! ”

The Queen Mother scolded with a smile: "The old thief tried his best to persuade the prince, but he had selfish intentions. ”

Wei Ran said: "The prince and the ministers, flesh and blood, dare not be selfless. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The king of Qin has a young son, and the prince is the most virtuous, and the old woman also loves him." However, the major affairs of the family and the country dare not be judged by family affection. ”

Wei Ran said: "The Queen Mother reprimanded it!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "The Wei people know Zhang Zixian, but I don't know, it's too much!" ”

King Qin said: "The matter of Hedong is underreported to the Queen Mother, and the sin of the son is also." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The victory in Hedong is not to win the two cities without a fight, it is all based on the Tao, and it must be between silence and odorlessness, and the Qin law has been implemented." Why did Hedong practice the Qin law? ”

King Qin said: "Hedong has asked for several judges from the Imperial Governor's Mansion to change the Qin law; And with the Qin law practiced in the new land, everyone in the city is convenient, so it can be done. ”

The Queen Mother asked vigilantly, "Why change the law?" ”

King Qin said: "If Anyi should be planted millet millet and not millet also, so the millet method is changed to millet method, and its yield is doubled." Salt is not available in Qindi, and Anyi follows it, so the salt law is established. Copper and iron smelting, what the Qin law did not have, made up for it from the Han and Wei laws. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Compile the household and the people, plan to teach the field, and do what you have to do?" ”

King Qin said: "It's okay!" There are many manors in the wall, and the rich have thousands of hectares, while the poor have no cones. The governance of Hedong is also, and the land is given by mouth, and the people can live in peace. The rich businessmen who have little land are all in accordance with the law of Qin Jinbu, clearly marking the real price, and the people are convenient. Those who move to Zuoyi, but those who have been punished are all in vain, and the passage of the road is also the power of the convicts; Under him, the convicts were given one, two, or three knights. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Hedong has the talent to govern the country, and he will return to the country quickly, so that the sorrow of Zhonggen will not reappear in the Qin State." ”

Everyone said, "Wow! ”

The Queen Mother said: "Qin Zheng, the lord of the marquis, everyone is powerful and powerful, how do you know that the marquis's family is only a few ministers, and there are no more than two or three relatives, although there are wives and concubines to fill the back room, but there are few insides and happy." Suddenly said to Wei Ran: "Among your concubines, are there any unbroken melons?" ”

Wei Ran's face was flushed with shame, and he replied embarrassedly: "It's all over!" ”

The Queen Mother pointed and smiled: "Over seventy years old, I am still a virgin, and I am ashamed to hear about men and women!" Fu asked: "Can you fight for more than one and two births?" ”

Wei Ran replied honestly: "It's not the same as it used to be, but it's just a good ear!" ”

The Queen Mother no longer joked about the Marquis, and said: "The Marquis has been assisting the country for more than 30 years, not relying on the people, not according to power, and only Qin Fa is the one who is relied upon." If Zhang Zi can practice the Qin law to the princes, he will be able to rule the vast Qin country! ”

Everyone replied, "Oh! ”

The Queen Mother said: "The discussion of one day, the king will see it." ”

King Qin said: "Wei borrowed and asked, sent to Qin, his important person, but Suo Yuan and Yi also." The one who is relied on is the righteousness of the alliance, the prince of the other, and the marquis of the third. There are two things about the marquis: one is that the work of the marquis will be lost because of it, and the other is that the feudal town of the marquis will be extinct because of it. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Wei is the fourth, the second is with the marquis, and the prince is also with the marquis." Hou Hou is what he says. ”

Wei Ran said: "Because of the wall and the derogation of the ministers, I have nothing to say." The passage of Taoyi is also beneficial to Qin; If it is absolutely so, it is quite a little good for clothing, fish and salt. As for the righteousness of the alliance, I Qin took it without fighting, it was the people's heart, not for the betrayal of the alliance. However, the matter of the prince is uncertain. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The prince's affairs are difficult to deal with, but I will decide on it." The prince is in Wei, and life and death are still in Wei; However, if the prince survives, the alliance will survive, and if the prince dies, the alliance will die. ”

At this time, An Guojun, who had been silent behind him for a long time, suddenly got up and knelt down and said, "The minister wants to enter Wei and replace the prince." ”

The Queen Mother reprimanded: "Show weakness to Wei, there is nothing to take!" An Guojun was full of shame and retreated to his seat.

The Queen Mother said: "Everyone resigns, the prince will be in Wei, and he will be safe in Wei!" But if you are slightly uneasy, you will be asked about their guilt! ”

Everyone said in unison: "Oh! ”

The Queen Mother replied: "What will you see in the future?" ”

The marquis said: "The entry of the joke is also, and I want to see the old and new nobles of Qin all over the world, and Jingyang, Gaoling, and Anguo all want to see them." If it weren't for Wu An and Zhang Ziwei to see it, they would also want to see it. ”

The Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Duan Ziyan and the Marquis, take Zhang Zi as an excuse." But why don't you know that Zhang Zi is Shouye for Hedong? ”

The Queen Mother suddenly asked, which caught everyone off guard, they had never thought of this question before, and when they heard the Queen Mother talk about it, they also felt that it was a matter. The marquis reluctantly guessed: "If Wei makes him enter, he will also see Zhang Zi." Qin Xingren replied that Zhang Zi was in Hedong. It's so I know. ”

The Queen Mother said: "However, Zhang Zi said that those who are marquis, unless they have the opportunity to do so, they will plan for a long time." It's not his plan. ”

An Guojun said: "Or when he entered Qin, he knew that Zhang Zi was the defender of Hedong, but he couldn't do it." So he explored it in the name of seeing Wu An and Zhang Zi. It must be known that Zhang Zi guards the east of the river, and he takes Zhang Zi as a resignation; If not, or in other words. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Although I haven't seen it, it still seems to be." To make it happen, Wei made it into the view, and the trap was trapped step by step, although he used the wall and the Yi as an excuse, he did not have any other plans. When you speak, you must examine it carefully, and do not count it. ”

The crowd replied, "Oh! ”

The marquis said: "As for his visit, the king and the queen mother can be seen every day." Day after day, I saw Jingyang, Gaoling, and Anguo. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The old woman is in a dilemma, and every day is as difficult as a day." When the day is over, you can come to worship me. In the afternoon, the king saw it. ”

Hearing that the Queen Mother was going to meet with the Wei envoy after the court tomorrow morning, all the ministers and even the King of Qin began to get busy. The Queen Mother was extremely strict with the details, and the personnel of the mission, their status, character, and way of speaking had to be reported to her one by one. In the evening, she also brought Huang Xie over and discussed with him for an hour.

The next day, the Queen Mother got up early. The servants gathered around and waited for the Queen Mother to freshen up. Subsequently, a female official gave the queen mother a thin rouge, described her eyebrows, rolled up her hair, and inserted a hairpin; Changed into court clothes, covered in jade pendants, and there was a sound of dingdong.

At the end of the queen mother's makeup, the princess who had married the prince of Chu entered the door. The princess is pregnant, and her body is no longer very convenient, but she still undertook the task of meeting today according to the arrangement. At the same time, there are tasks, and the prince is finished! He was already waiting in his room.

When the princess saw the queen mother's makeup, she exclaimed: "The queen mother is beautiful and glamorous!" ”

When the queen mother saw that the princess had arrived, she ordered her to sit down and said, "How can you pass you!" ”

Wang Nu said: "It's too much! ”

The Queen Mother said: "The only thing that women can envy is to give birth to ears." I'm old, I can't get pregnant, but I'm envious. The princess bowed her head and was silent.

The Queen Mother instructed the female officials on the left and right: "You must be careful when you are young." The old woman is not enough to think about it, and the bride is pregnant, so don't lose anything! "All the female officers should be obeyed.

Everyone was busy when they heard the voices of people outside the door. The Queen Mother restrained her smile and said solemnly: "Extremely! All the female officials immediately took their places, and the princess also sat aside.

After the early dynasty, the pedestrians led the Duan Zigan from the pavilion post to the Ganquan Palace not far from the pavilion. For the sake of solemnity, although there are only a few steps, I solemnly prepare the car and ride the car. After a few steps of the car, I saw a large number of officials gathered outside the Ganquan Palace. The pedestrian explained: "The Queen Mother, the mother of the country, is old and frail, and she can't bear to be troubled, so she gathers all the officials to greet her in front of the palace!" ”

The joke said: "How dare you do this! He got out of the car at a distance of 100 steps, came straight to the crowd, and then saw a person coming from a distance. Duan Zigan thought that it must be the guest minister, so he let his guest face come forward. But when I got closer, I found that where was the guest, it was clearly the Prince of Chu! At this time, even the guest was stunned: Prince Chu, even if he is the host, he is also a high-standard, and now he comes here in person, can he also treat him as a guest? Surprised, the prince had already walked in front of the guest and saluted: "The queen mother has a drink and welcomes the Wei envoy!" ”

When Bin Xiang heard this, his jaw dropped in shock: The prince who dares to love is really Bin Xiang! He didn't know how to answer, and stammered: "Ministers, please live for the queen mother, for the crown prince!" ”

Prince Chu smiled faintly and said, "Minister, the grandson-in-law of the Queen Mother, I would like to follow the order of the Queen Mother to welcome the Wei envoy." ”

Duan Zigan saw all this clearly in the back, and he also had a short circuit in his brain for a short time, but at this time he had already come back to his senses, and after hearing the prince's self-introduction, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying: "The minister is lowly, dare to ask the queen mother to give you a meeting, and the prince welcomes him from afar!" ”

The prince still chuckled and said, "Wei envoy is very self-restrained. The Queen Mother is in the hall, and please enter. "Take a deep look. The joke replied, followed the prince up the steps, and entered the door.

There is no singing and dancing in the gate of Ganquan Palace, the courtyard of Nuoda seems to be empty, only on both sides of the road, there are two columns of waiters, forked hands as chests, thinking that it is a guard of honor.

According to the etiquette, the prince shouted in front of the hall steps: "Wei envoy to meet you!" At that time, I could hear a "please" inside. The prince immediately led Duan Zigan and his party up the stairs, and then saluted in front of the hall. The tent curtain was hung high in the hall, and two women knelt down in the tent, and one said: "Wei envoy, please take the seat!" The prince guided in front and invited the three of them into the west seat, and sat in the east seat himself.

The Queen Mother said in the curtain: "Women and old women, the body can't support it, only grandchildren help each other." ”

Duan Zi said: "The Queen Mother is in good spirits, a hundred-year-old body, and has a long life!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "It's like this. The teeth are broken, the diet is wasted, but the porridge and ears are worried! ”

Duan Zi said: "The minister is close to a porridge party, and he is in peace and nourishing his spirits, and he is dedicated to it!" ”

The Queen Mother said: "Very hard work, you can have this gift!" ”

Duan Zi said: "Wei Qin, Mengye." The Empress Dowager Qin, the mother of Wei, and the mother of the minister! ”

The Queen Mother said: "Come on, are Wei Zhimin safe?" ”

Duan Zi said: "Everyone is content with their livelihoods, and they don't dare to mess up." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Is Wei Wang An?" ”

The joke said: "Wang Yi'an, the minister and the queen mother are long!" "Bring the gift list. Since the gifts are all left at Hangu Pass, the gift list is considered a gift, and a lot of the ritual process is omitted.

The crown prince took the gift list and presented it to the princess in front of the curtain, and the princess gave it to the queen mother. The Queen Mother took a look at it, then put it down and said, "Do you get it this year?" ”
