Chapter 306: The Death of a Country that No One Cares For
The official of the Qin State was a woman, with a radiant spirit, bright eyes, and a kind of natural beauty.
She can drive all the officials of the Qin State out of the palace with one sentence, especially those old people from Cangzhou, and her status in Xianyang is naturally extremely high, and she has an old relationship with Tong Yan.
This confirmed her identity, and of course she didn't think about hiding who she was in front of Su Qingming, otherwise why would she risk coming here.
Looking at Shen Shenfei who flashed out from behind the pillars, Li Shu tilted her head slightly, and asked a little puzzled, "What are you doing here?" ”
Shen Shenfei said listlessly: "I can't do anything now." ”
Thinking about Shen Shenfei's words, she vaguely guessed something, looked at Su Qingming with some disbelief, and said, "Are you waiting for him?" ”
Su Qingming said, "Yes." ”
Li Shu was very puzzled and said: "He is the emperor of the Qin State, and now that the Chu State is powerless to resist, why did he take the risk of coming here?" ”
Su Qingming said: "Your senior brother is a very proud person, you should be happy to come here and admire the appearance of me when I surrendered." ”
Li Shu shook her head and said, "Pride doesn't mean you get carried away. ”
Su Qingming said: "According to my calculations, he may not be complacent, but he has already forgotten a little. ”
This sentence clearly has a deeper meaning.
Li Shu was silent for a while and said, "How did you guess?" ”
Su Qingming said: "Deduction and calculation are not guessing. ”
Li Shu looked into his eyes and said, "But in the end, you still miscalculated. ”
Shen Shenfei nodded vigorously beside him.
Su Qingming said: "If you don't come, or he comes, of course, this is not an absolute thing. ”
Li Shu thought about the quarrel with her senior brother in the Xianyang Palace, was silent for a while, and said, "What do you want to do if he comes?" ”
Shen Shenfei said inexplicably: "Do you want to invite him to dinner?" Slaughtered him, of course. ”
Li Shu glanced at him and said, "Are you sure you can kill him?" ”
"I'm strong." Shen Shenfei said: "And this is not Xianyang, he doesn't have 3,000 armor soldiers as turtle shells, and he will definitely die." ”
There is no mention of a certain person in this sentence, and both he and Li Shu know that Su Qingming is also very strong.
Li Shu said: "Now that I'm here, you can kill me." ”
If she was just a fallen princess of the previous dynasty, it would naturally be pointless to kill her, but if she was really just like that, why would those Qin State officials listen to her?
Su Qingming had long thought that the layout of the Qin State in the world should be from her and Tong Yan's plan, and in recent years, the strategy of the Qin State going south should be arranged by her. Her position and role in the Qin State were very important, so killing her or threatening the Qin Emperor with her would make sense to the Chu State.
It's just that he didn't speak, and he didn't shoot.
"I said at the beginning, since it's you, it's over."
Shen Shenfei said angrily: "Although I am in retreat at the top of Tianguang Peak and know the relationship between you, how could he kill you?" ”
Whether it is a boudoir lady or a fairy-like cultivator, listening to this kind of discussion is often a little displeased, or embarrassed.
Li Shu was overjoyed, and secretly stretched out a thumbs up to Shen Shenfei to express her appreciation.
Looking at the onion-like fingers, Shen Shenfei was even more helpless, turned to look at Su Qingming and said: "I have been killing people outside all these years, you are in power in the Chu State, two against two, no matter how you look at it, it is very funny, but now that your country is dying, and I am getting old here, what should I do next?" ”
Su Qing meditated for a while and said, "I haven't thought about it either. ”
Shen Shenfei said: "Looking at it now, your set is wrong, at least there is not enough time to prove it, I have to do it in my own way." ”
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the hall, the breeze stirring the empty sleeves and hair, and there were actually several gray hairs in them.
Shen Shenfei's figure disappeared into the morning light, and the hall was quiet for a moment.
Li Shu walked up to Su Qingming, looked into his eyes and asked, "What does he mean by that?" ”
Su Qingming said: "You are so smart, you should be able to guess." ”
The people who know you best are often not your lovers, nor all enemies, but those who are qualified to be your opponents.
In the illusion of Qingtianjian, the first person to guess Su Qing's meditation method and have the ability to stop him from practicing this idea is Tong Yan.
That year, Su Qingming would rather give Cangzhou to Qin Guo than kill Tong Yan, just to buy more time.
He fought for ten years, but unfortunately still did not succeed.
Li Shu showed an incredulous look and said, "Do you want to break through the realm here?" ”
Su Qingming didn't speak, turned around and walked towards the back of the hall.
Li Shu followed behind him and said, "This is impossible...... Even if you are a peerless genius and are not willing to take the usual path, but the rules are the rules. ”
Su Qingming still didn't speak, came to the dormitory, took off the hairband that tied his hair, sat on the couch, and took out a few pieces of paper.
The black hair spreads like a waterfall, contrasting with the snow-white paper.
Li Shu looked at this scene, smiled slightly, sat on the couch, and said, "No matter what you think, I won after all." ”
Su Qingming looked at her eyes and said calmly, "Not necessarily." ”
Li Shu felt that her face was a little hot, but she bravely did not avoid her eyes.
Many, many years ago, when he and she were two or three-year-old dolls, they met on this couch.
Now that they are all older, this couch has naturally become a lot smaller, and they are right in front of each other, really close.
Su Qingming handed over the paper in his hand and said, "My conditions." ”
Li Shu didn't take the papers, just looked at his face, and said with shame: "Listen to you." ”
It wasn't the victor who showed off her tolerance, but she knew that Su Qingming naturally decided to surrender, and she would definitely not put forward too harsh conditions.
She explained it to herself in her heart.
The bluebird on the branch outside the window has already turned its head to look into the distance.
In the warehouse of an inconspicuous trading house, Shen Shenfei was cutting his hair, twisting his hair extremely messy and short, and then began to carefully install an iron arm on himself.
……
……
The peace talks ended quickly, as the Qin side agreed to most of the conditions of the Chu state, but since it was a surrender, those conditions were only minutiae.
The name of the country must be changed, the army must be broken up and reorganized, and the capital of Chu will be changed to the southern capital, which will be guarded by the Cangzhou army.
The King of the South was named the King of the South and may live in the palace.
The real benefits of the Chu side are in the aspects of taxation and legal jurisdiction, that is, the benefits are attributed to the people.
In the name of Emperor Qin's brutality, it was not easy to get such a result in the final negotiations, but when the results of the negotiations began to circulate in the capital of Chu and beyond, it still caused great turmoil, because after all, this was the death of the country, and this was the humiliation and pain that few people could bear.
Su Qingming, who was named the king of Linshan, became a concrete symbol of disgrace and was ridiculed by the world.
The capital of Chu was filled with cries and scolding, and all the literati began to use their talents to the fullest, writing poems describing the grief of the lost country and the anger of the incompetent and faint king. Probably even they didn't feel that there was some kind of relief hidden behind those psalms.
……
The Red Sleeve Building is the reddest green building in the capital of Chu State, and the willow catkins girl is the reddest girl in the Red Sleeve Building.
The one who can let her stay with her must be the richest or most powerful son-in-law.
Tonight, she accompanied the prince in the Chengjun Palace.
The prince drank a lot of wine, and by being drunk, he commented on the affairs of the government in the middle of the night, and eighty percent of the time was spent accusing His Majesty the Emperor of being incompetent and giving away the great fortune left by his ancestors.
If it were changed to the past, even if His Majesty the Emperor had always had the reputation of an idiot, lived in the deep palace, never served as a director, and no one dared to comment on him like this, but now the situation is different, everyone knows that the Chu State is going to die, and Long Live Lord is only afraid that he will not live for a few more years, who will care about these little things.
Before he got drunk, he didn't forget to mention his family's kinship with the king of the south.
It is counted that the princes and nobles in the capital are relatives of the king of the south, but according to his triumphant statement, his father is the king of the county, but he is a good brother who grew up with the prince of the south, and the relationship is irreversible, even after the king of the south rebelled to the Qin state, he did not break the contact, and the new dynasty must have his own place in the future......
The willow girl looked at the sleeping Shizi, was silent for a long time, and suddenly took out a knife and cut his neck directly.
Then she took out a brush, dipped it in his blood, and wrote a little poem.
That poem is about the pain of losing the country and the hatred of the Manchu Dynasty and the Chu Emperor.
One of them reads: "Not one of them is a man." ”
The prince of the county was killed by a prostitute. Even when the country was ruined and the world was turned upside down, it was a major event that shook Kyoto.
Miss Liu was imprisoned, and even if the poem, especially that sentence, spread quickly in Kyoto, she could not escape the fate of being executed by Ling Chi.
At this moment, a eunuch quietly entered the prison and brought her out.
The eunuch took her to leave Kyoto overnight in a carriage, and after several days and nights of galloping, she came to the outside of the western camp and joined the Zhao army.
The carriage was sent directly to the Chinese military tent.
Father-in-law He Zhan, who was dressed in a black coat, walked to the front of the car, lifted the curtain, looked at the prostitute with a pale face and picturesque eyebrows, and frowned silently.
……
These are all small things, and the death of the Chu State is a big thing.
Su Qingming was originally a famous idiot emperor, and now he has clarified his identity as a faint monarch, of course, the name he can't get rid of the most is of course the king of the dead country.
Chu people are good at writing, and countless poems and songs that scolded him emerged for a while, those words are really wonderful, impassioned, and extremely happy, and even the distant Qi State School Palace has written a few big fus, denouncing its wrongdoing, and occasionally metaphorizing the affairs of Zhao State.
Surprisingly, Mr. Yunqi did not think so, but gave Emperor Chu a very high evaluation, and it can even be said to be a high praise.
The Qin delegation had already secretly returned to Xianyang.
Dozens of days later, accompanied by an autumn rain, the king of the south led the army of Qin to the outside of the capital of Chu, preparing to officially accept the government.
At this time, the people outside the city suddenly noticed a black smoke rising from the city, looking in the direction of the palace.
Scholar Zhou's eyes darkened, and he fainted directly.
Nanwang squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yes, just when the cold autumn rain was continuous, the fire that Scholar Chen and Jin Shangshu could not light back then burned in the palace.
Countless people poured into the palace, looking at the palace that was engulfed in flames but could not do anything, even if it rained raining, it was useless.
The eunuchs and palace maids stood around in despair, some of them had already cried bitterly, and a few eunuchs looked very dazed, thinking that the best thing they could do in their lives was to wash the blood that Your Majesty left in this palace, and now that the palace is burned down like this, you just left, so what else can we do?
The fire was so big that it could not be extinguished at all, and it burned for three days and three nights before stopping, and the sergeants rushed into the ruins for the first time to start searching, and found that the gold and silver inlaid on the beams and pillars were all burned into solidified magma, and where could they still find the body of the Chu Emperor.
Overnight, white flags were hung in countless houses, and the entire capital was like a snowfall.
When Emperor Qin learned of this, he ordered a generous burial with the courtesy of the monarch.
Scholar Zhou was seriously ill, and resigned as soon as he recovered from his illness, and he has not been seen since.
Prior to this, Taichang Siqing had already moved back to his hometown with his old bachelor's mansion.
No one can bear to criticize His Majesty the Emperor for his incompetence and cowardice.
The king died in the country, what more can you ask of him?
Many people gradually remembered the situation when His Majesty the Emperor and Scholar Zhang were in power, and they were even more nostalgic.
How many emperors will never leave the palace and never make trouble like Your Majesty?
Nostalgia for the past often means dissatisfaction with the present.
No one wanted to accept the rough and tough rule of the Qin state.
Many literati and scholars turned their pens and wrote many sad poems to mourn His Majesty's death in the fire. Many people insisted that His Majesty the Emperor did not die at all, but escaped through the fire, and at this time he was living in seclusion somewhere, either as monks, or secretly planning how to restore the old country.
