Chapter 13: The Law of Qi
When Zhang Lu arrived in the hall, the waiter lifted the ding, and the song and dance tunes changed again and again, but Su Jia didn't feel it at all. Suddenly, his ears were quiet, and the singing, dancing, and music stopped. He saw Zhang Lu standing in front of him. Su Jia's mind went blank, and he almost instinctively saluted in the middle of the seat: "I would like to see Zhang Xiang!" ”
Zhang Lu smiled playfully: "Huh! How can Wei Zhong be a doctor! Where is the doctor's food? ”
The two waiters brought over a table, on which was not a ding, but a pile of finely chopped hay and some black beans, and placed it in front of Su Jia. Su Jia's blood hit upward, and he was about to protest, but the two prisoners next to him grabbed his arm, turned his back, pressed it, and pressed Su Jia's head into the fine grass. The grass was indeed cut very thinly, and as soon as the head entered, the mouth and nose were all muddled, and it was a little difficult to breathe, so naturally I couldn't say anything. I only heard Zhang Lu shouting: "Su Jia, do you know the crime!" ”
The two prisoners let go of Sujia slightly, and Sujia's head and face were covered with hay, and his eyes were red, and he was speechless.
Zhang Lu pointed at Xu Jia viciously and said, "You are second, and Wei Qi is the first." Gui Nai sued the King of Wei for me, and hurriedly held Wei Qi's head! Otherwise, I will slaughter the beam. With a wave of his hand, the two prisoners lifted Suja out of the temple and threw him to the ground. He returned to the stairs and said to all the guests with a smile: "Wei Huannai, sooner or later it will be destroyed!" Now it's a covenant with him! “
A businessman asked out loud, "Why was Wei convicted of Qin?" “
Zhang Lu stared at the businessman and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "If you are guilty of Qin, you can still pray; If you are condemned to heaven, there is no prayer! The merchant was so frightened that he was covered in chaff and sweating profusely.
When Zhang Lu was furious at Su Jia and the two prisoners treated Su Jia very violently, the Prince of Chu watched nervously; Then he looked at Huang Xie with some horror, only to find that Huang Xie was nodding and smiling as if watching a play. The position of these two people was very close to Zhang Lu's main seat, at the top of all the envoys, and there was a long distance from the bottom of the stairs. The crown prince also looked at the envoy of Qi who was qualified to sit in the palace, and the envoy seemed thoughtful, his expression confused rather than nervous. Sitting by the door and down should be merchants from various countries, who often come to Qin to trade in the name of envoys, in fact, in addition to saying that the two countries are friendly, they will not pass on more information; Of course, Qin Chen could get a lot of information from them, so he also turned a blind eye to deal with it vaguely. These merchants had different expressions, most of them were frightened by the scene in front of them, and some were dumbfounded; Others are visibly overwhelmed, bowing their heads and not daring to lift them; A few people stared closely at Zhang Lu's every move, with a playful expression in their expressions. Huang Xie saw the prince looking around and cast an approving glance at him.
Then I saw Zhang Lu leaning his back and walking into the hall. No one dared to despise this hunched and old-looking man, and there was a threat of life and death in his eyebrows. I saw him say as he walked: "Wei is guilty of heaven, there is nothing to pray for!" Then he walked up to a Wei merchant seemingly casually and said, "It's not Puyang's Wei Ye, it's Liang Zhiwei!" Wei first dedicated the West River, then the east of the river, and then dedicated Anyi, and will also offer the beam! Zhang Lu said impassionedly, and the envoys in the audience didn't know whether to applaud or cry, and remained silent one by one.
Zhang Lu walked up to a Korean businessman again and said: "Qin will go out to attack Wei, and he will also pass through Han, may Han Tongzhi!" “
Han Shang didn't dare to answer, and said, "The minister should report to the king." “
Zhang Lu said: "I will allow the king of Han!" An Guojun's worship is also, Han Wei's congratulations; The prince's funeral is also, Han Wu mourns; Is it to turn the whole country on Qinhu? Han Jing broke into three, I hit Han Ye, and covered my ears in one thought! “
Han Shang was so frightened that his face was pale, trembling, and he didn't dare to look up.
Zhang Lu said: "An Guojun's worship is also, and the princes congratulate him; The funeral of the prince is also, the princes are mourning, and the ceremony is also. But the three Jin don't know, and they deceive me and Qin! Is there a Zhao envoy today? “
The merchants of Zhao State in the seat were already sweating with fright, how dare they respond. The merchant next to him pointed out: "Zhao Shang is here!" “
Zhang Lu walked over and said, "You can tell King Zhao: I will kill him every day!" “
Zhao Shang didn't dare to raise his head, and lowered his head and said, "Oh! “
Zhang Lu walked to the door of the palace, pointed to the seat of the prince of Chu and said, "Qin and Chu, the great powers of the world." Qin Chu is horizontal, who can control it in the world! He also pointed to the envoys of Qi and said: "Although Qi is weak, with Qin and Chu as an alliance, who can destroy it!" “
The envoy of Qi raised his glass in the seat and said: "King Qi is respectfully for the birthday of King Qin!" The king of Qi said that Xi Qi offended the world, and the princes fought together, and Qi deeply accepted his sin, and there was nothing to pray for. Qin is the leader of the alliance, and the first to enter Qi, but there is no Qi soil into Qin, Qi Huai Deyan. Qi land was attacked by Yan, and there were only two cities left. Relying on the virtue of the ancestors, it is restored to more than 70 cities; The rest of those who have not recovered, Qi Yizhizhi, dare not forget. “
Huang Xie said: "Qi was cut down by the five countries, but Chu can save it." Qi Zeng has no words of virtue, and the land on Zhihuai is not wrong! “
Qi envoy said: "Naoya's aid Qi Ye, tortured and killed the first king, and died in the country, laughing for the world." Take advantage of the danger of Qi and take Huaibei, this Qi people will not dare to lose. “
Zhang Lu said: "Chu leads Huaibei, Qi restores the old land, and each has its own place." May the two sons not think of the old evils, think about the righteousness of the alliance, and be good forever! Huang Xie and Qi Envoy stopped talking.
Prince Chu waited until he returned to his palace before he found an opportunity to ask Huang Xie, "What does Zhang Xiang mean today?" ”
Huang Xie smiled and said, "But serve Wei Er!" If Wei Qi runs, then Wei will be subdued, and the three Jin will be broken! ”
Prince Chu said: "If it is true, what will it be?" ”
Huang Xie said: "The ministers were ordered by the king to order Chu not to fight for ten years. Now it's been seven years! But Qin Xiangjin is three years old, Chu Biqiang is also, and the prince should be a return! ”
Prince Chu was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at the harem thoughtfully. The princess and her son were in the back house, and he could even imagine the satisfaction on the princess's face when she looked at the child in the nurse's arms. Actually, I am not like this! He sometimes even wondered what if he lived in the Qin State for the rest of his life and gave up the throne to someone else? The thought was only fleeting. He is the State of Chu, the State of Chu is himself, this is a responsibility that he can't get rid of from the day he was born, and he can't let go until he dies, because he still has to give birth to a future monarch for the State of Chu and train him to grow into a qualified King of Chu! - And he himself doesn't know if it's qualified.
In the afternoon, the king of Qin sent a servant to preach, the queen mother missed the prince, and the prince could go to Ganquan Palace to say hello! The prince did not dare to slack off, and immediately informed the princess, the princess and the nurse held the child, and sat in a car together, the prince, Huang Xie, the prince Fu and the entourage escorted the car, and the group went out of the Chu Palace and came to the Ganquan Palace.
After receiving the report, the female officials of Ganquan Palace led the prince, princess, and children to the harem, where the prince unexpectedly discovered that the marquis and Huayangjun were also there.
The Queen Mother was half-lying on a three-layer straw mat, with a thick quilt and curtains removed. The Marquis and Huayangjun sat at the end of the seat.
The crown prince and the princess held the child in their arms and bowed at the temple gate. The Queen Mother raised her hand, and the Marquis stood up, walked to him, and said to the prince and the princess: "You don't need to give a big courtesy, but you can get close to the table and let the Queen Mother make a child." ”
The two of them hugged the child and came to the table. The Queen Mother pointed to the mat, and the two put the child on the Queen Mother's seat. The Queen Mother had a loving smile on her face and reached out to tease the little baby. The princess said: "Ju'er meets the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother laughed more and more happily. She said in a phlegm-filled voice: "Tell me!" ”
Hou Hou said: "The princess of Qin is suitable for the prince of Chu, can do her best to the virtue of women, Hou Jiazhi, and is willing to sacrifice 500 households of land for the princess Tang Mu!" ”
The Queen Mother whispered: "The princess's seal is coming." Don't read it! ”
The crown prince and the princess bowed to the ground and said, "Empress Dowager Xie, Marquis Xie!" ”
The Queen Mother pointed to Huayangjun again and said, "He also has a offer!" ”
Huayang Jun saw that the Queen Mother was difficult to speak, so he also explained: "I look at An Guojun, the servant of the prince of Chu, and can also fulfill the virtue of women, but it belongs to the five hundred households in Huayang, for Mrs. Tang Mu!" ”
The Queen Mother also said: "The seal of the lady is also the end of the day!" My thoughts, only in your second daughter, now there is a prince to help each other, my heart is at peace! ”
The Marquis and Huayang Jun said: "The mansions of the ministers will be prepared, and they should be sealed." May the Queen Mother be kind to your noble body......"
The Queen Mother said: "My life will be short." Don't think about the second son. Do you want to practice qi? ”
The marquis said: "Sima Men is a man who is uniquely talented, and now he has his inheritance!" ”
The Queen Mother said: "What is Gai Nie's person? ”
The marquis said: "It has nothing to do with other things or is incompetent, and when it comes to martial arts, all of them are fine!" ”
The Queen Mother said: "If you have to be contemptible, Wu Huo, and Meng said at the same time, you will also be a hero for a while." ”
The marquis picked up the child and said, "If you talk about talent, you are not as good as a foal!" Everyone laughed. The marquis took out a piece of bamboo slip from his arms, handed it to the prince, and said, "The secret of this line of qi is also." Thou shalt be willing, that thou mayest bestow thee son. ”
When the prince took it, it read: "Xingqi, deep is accumulating, accumulating is extended, stretching is down, down is fixed, fixed is solid, solid is cute, sprouting is long, long is retreating, retreating is heaven." The days are on top; The ground is a few licks below. Along with the way, you will be born; Reverse or die. The prince bowed and said: "Given by the marquis, how deep is the virtue!" ”
The marquis said: "My life is also, and I will enter the phase, and I am not expensive." Only in this ear is the noble! May it not be leaked. ”
The crown prince and the princess both said, "Be careful! ”
The three old men teased the children for a long time, and talked with the two young men about the sky. The Queen Mother looked happy, but her breath was obviously weak. The marquis asked the queen mother to spit out according to the line of qi, and the queen mother said: "When you are young, you can't do it, what is it when you are old!" "Huayangjun has been in poor health for many years, only the marquis, although he is old and in good health, the two young people are envious when they see it. After dinner, they went home.
During the spring ploughing season, each country has its own ploughing ceremony, called "ploughing". Depending on the agricultural time, it is held on the days of Liqin, February 2, spring equinox, and Shangsi. The state of Qin is determined by the observation of celestial phenomena by heavenly officials, and the days are uncertain every year, but they are also a few days before and after. On this day, the king of Qin wanted to plough the land in his "home field" to show that spring ploughing was coming.
A few days after the prince met the queen mother, it was the day of ploughing.
