Chapter 368: Lao Tzu? Lao Tzu doesn't want to read "Lao Tzu"!

Now that the two kingdoms of Qin and Qi are bordering, Wang Jian of Qi is not worried that the Qin State will send troops to the Qi State.

Not to mention that the two kingdoms of Qin and Qi have always been good friends.

Who would easily kick out a licking dog that responds to their needs?

Qi Wang Jiandu is worried about Ying Cheng!

If Qi Wangjian is a licking dog, then Ying Chengcheng is a mad dog.

According to the information obtained by Qi Wangjian, once Ying Cheng Chan is out of the cage, even Ying Zheng will not be able to control Ying Cheng Chan's sharp minions!

In case Ying Chengcheng is dissatisfied with Qi Guo because of this incident, he will wait until the next time he sends troops to raid Qi State.

Then the Qi country will suffer from the old sin!

Hou Sheng smiled warmly: "The king can rest assured. ”

"The princess has no intention of competing for favor, but on the contrary, she is favored by Chang'anjun."

"On the first day of entering the palace, the princess was the first to accompany you."

"After Chang'anjun's triumph, the concubines all threw themselves into Chang'anjun's arms, and only the princess had Chang'anjun take the initiative to embrace her."

"The princess was loved by Mrs. Han on the day she entered the house, and she accompanied Mrs. Han to play with flowers and plants in her spare time."

only listened to Hou Sheng's words, as if Fu Ling had already gained favor in the Chang'an Monarch's Mansion.

Qi Wangjian said angrily: "Fortunately! Lucky! ”

"Ling'er likes to be quiet but not good at power, it is difficult to be a wife, and she is not good at managing the back house."

"The widow has often been worried about Ling'er's future."

"Now although Ling'er is forced to marry, she is fortunate to have a lover!"

"As long as Chang Anjun and Mrs. Han treat Ling'er well, the widow's heart will be at peace!"

If Fei Ling simply got the grace of Ying Chengcheng, Qi Wangjian would still not be at ease.

After all, as a man, Qi Wangjian knows very well how short and shallow men's preferences for concubines are.

You don't need to wait until Fei Ling is old and decrepit, as long as Ying Cheng is tired, or even just Yu Ling said the wrong word, this grace will disappear!

But Fei Ling was treated kindly by Mrs. Han, which made Qi Wangjian completely relieved.

Hou Sheng laughed loudly: "The princess's grace may exceed the king's expectations." ”

took out a book from his bosom, and Hou Sheng offered it with both hands: "This is a gift from the king sent by the king of Chang'an to Qin." ”

"Please look at it!"

Qi Wang Jianda was surprised: "What is this?" ”

Taking the book and carefully turning the pages, Qi Wang Jian's eyes were surprised:

"Lao Tzu?"

Gently and impatiently turning the pages one after another, Qi Wangjian's breathing became a little shorter:

"The whole book!"

"The whole "Lao Tzu" is written in such a small book?!"

Qi Wangjian grabbed the "Lao Tzu" written in bamboo on his desk with his left hand and weighed half a catty, and dragged the "Lao Tzu" written on Chang'an paper with his right hand, which was as light as nothing, and sighed: "The difference is so big!" ”

"If all the classics in the world can be written with this thing, how easy it would be for the widow to read the chapters of the sages!"

"Uncle, what is this?"

Hou Sheng explained: "According to pedestrians, the name of the thing that inherits "Lao Tzu" is Chang'an paper. ”

"This Chang'an paper is also something that Chang'an Jun personally researched and made."

"It's not only lightweight, it's also inexpensive."

"In the Qin Kingdom, this thing only costs five yuan per horse!"

Qi Wangjian said excitedly: "A horse is only five dollars? ”

"This is the treasure of Daxing culture and education!"

"Chang'anjun gave this thing to the widow, is it ......?"

Hou Sheng's smile became brighter and brighter: "Although Chang'anjun handed over this thing to the Qin State, he made it clear that this thing will be sold to me first, except for Chang'anjun's own use." ”

"It's just that because of the long distance, the price of each horse has to go up to 30 cents."

Qi Wang Jian shook his head even in a row: "This is what it should mean!" ”

"Don't say thirty dollars, it's three hundred dollars, and it's Chang'anjun's kindness to me!"

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Chang'an paper is a treasure of cultural transport, and it is exempt from a tax in my Daqi, and everyone must not be humiliated!"

If Ying Chengcheng heard Qi Wangjian's order, he would definitely be happy.

The reason why Ying Chengcheng chose to sell Chang'an paper first over Qi is very simple, Qi attaches the most importance to culture and education, has the strongest cultural atmosphere, has the most readers, and is the base camp of Confucianism and Huang Lao!

In the original history, it was the sacred attributes that these scholars attached to the paper that made the king dare not use the paper to wipe the filth.

It wasn't until the Yuan Dynasty ruled this area that the sacredness of paper was broken, and paper and latrine were connected.

If this paper is still called hemp paper, then Ying Chengcheng will not only not care about these details, but will even take the lead in taking the hemp paper to the toilet.

But on the contrary, this paper is called Chang'an paper!

Ying Cheng Chan doesn't want to be a chrysanthemum companion with something with his name!

Hou Sheng solemnly bowed his hand: "Only! ”

Qi Wangjian continued: "Chang'an Jun is very important in the world. ”

"Since Ling'er has won Chang'anjun's favor, I should take this opportunity to further friendship with Chang'anjun."

"This matter, you should be annoying uncle!"

Hou Sheng happily promised: "The minister will live up to the king's trust!" ”

After carefully discussing how to please Ying Chengcheng, Hou Sheng walked and left the Wu Palace.

Qi Wangjian held "Lao Tzu" in his hand, lay down next to the warm fire again, and turned the pages of the book with great interest.

But the pupils of his eyes did not focus, nor did he read the words on the page, but only sneered and chuckled in an indiscernible voice:

"Lao Tzu?"

"Hehe~ Pi Qiniang's "Lao Tzu"!"

In the seventeenth year of King Qi (284 BC), the state of Qi was destroyed.

Tian Fazhang, the son of King Qi of Qi, changed his name and surname, took refuge as a servant in the family of Taishi Ji (Jiǎo) in Jucheng, and because of his handsome appearance, he was able to have an affair with the daughter of Taishi Ji, starting his career as a superb family.

In the fifth year of King Xiang of Qi (279 BC), Tian Dan, a relative of the royal family of Qi, turned the tide and broke the Yan army, and chose to welcome back Tian Fazhang when the princes of all countries thought that Tian Dan was going to establish himself as the king.

In the same year, Tian Fazhang returned to Linzi and ascended the throne, known as King Qixiang in history, and established the daughter of Taishi Ji as the queen, known as the queen in history!

This seems to be a standard cool drama of wealth and wealth from heaven and the son-in-law of the dragon king.

However, since King Qi Xiang ascended the throne, the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Tiandan was sold to Zhao, the six heroes of the world attacked one after another, more than two-thirds of the territory of Qi fell, and the generals who participated in the restoration war were killed or expelled from the court one after another.

The internal situation of Qi is even more chaotic to the point that it makes people's scalps numb, and various mountain forces emerge in an endless stream, and the leader of them is Taishi Ji and his relatives!

The queen had the intention to tell King Qi to build some available talents, but when King Qi built a pen, Hou won it.

Facing Qi Wangjian's expectant gaze, the queen could only leave a sentence of 'I have forgotten'.

Then, he passed away with regret!

A few days later, Hou Sheng was appointed as the prime minister of Qi State!

The precious book was pressed by Qi Wangjian, and Qi Wangjian muttered softly:

"The widow can only watch "Lao Tzu", but the widow also wants to watch the "Book of Shang Jun"!"

"It's a pity!"

"Hateful!"

……

A month later.

Chu State, Shouchun Palace.

King Chu frowned, his eyes full of disbelief: "What did Qing say?" ”

"Qin State increased its troops by 150,000 troops in Chencheng?"

"Could this be a deception of the Qin State?"

The state of Chu only ordered Xiang Yan to lead 50,000 troops to garrison Xiangcheng and Qu Huan to lead 30,000 troops to Shangcai, with a total strength of only 80,000.

As expected by the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State, the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State wanted to use these forces to force the Qin State to transfer young and strong people and delay the cultivation of the Qin State.

According to the speculation of the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State, there is a high probability that the Qin State will raise 60,000 or 70,000 troops to increase its defense, and at most it can only raise 100,000 troops to form an oppressive confrontation.

As a result, now you tell the widow that the Qin State directly increased its troops by 150,000?

Is the Qin State crazy or the widows crazy!

Ling Yin Zhaocen bowed solemnly: "That's true. ”

"Shangzhu State did not expect that the Qin State would raise troops, and sent scouts to infiltrate the territory of Qin State to investigate."

"Qin Jiangjian has no intention of concealing it, and allows our country's scouts to come close to observe."

Zhao Cen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It is indeed an army of 150,000!" ”

The king of Chu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart: "Does the Qin State intend to send troops to fight?" ”

Soon after the king of Chu ascended the throne, although he stabilized the domestic situation at the cost of delegating power, he still needed time to unify.

He hasn't even had time to move the capital yet!

If the Qin State really takes this opportunity to send troops, the King of Chu will inevitably be like the King of Chu and will be trampled on the national capital!

Fortunately, Zhao Cen shook his head: "Qin Guo did not make any further moves. ”

"And according to the estimation of Qin's grain storage last year, Qin is unable to support a big war."

"Even if the Qin State has a heart, it is powerless!"

The king of Chu frowned and could kill flies: "Without fighting, he raised troops and fought on the border, wasting grain and grass in vain, and drawing young and strong." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what does the Qin State want?"

For a moment, the imperial study fell silent.

All the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State could not understand why the Qin State acted like this.

Suddenly, Xiong Chang's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Gongzi Qi has sent a report." ”

The King of Chu stared at the light of his eyes, and commanded in a deep voice: "Pass! ”

The door opened, and Xiong Changkuo stepped inside, offering a bamboo tube in both hands.

After verifying the sealed mud seal letter, the king of Chu took out the bamboo slips in the tube, and his eyes scanned the words on the bamboo slips.

Immediately, his eyes were stunned: "Qin State has such a strange thing? ”

Zhao Cen couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the king, but what is the intention of Gongzi Qi to find out what Qin Guo's move is?" ”

The king of Chu handed over the bamboo slip to Zhao Cen, and said in a voice full of disbelief: "Gongzi Qiyan said that Chang'an Jun of Qin studied and built Chang'an plows. ”

"This thing is light and dexterous, it can be pulled by the power of an ox and a man, but its ability to plow is not inferior to that of the current plough!"

Qu He subconsciously refuted: "How is this possible!" ”

"Childe Qiding is talking nonsense!"

Jing Po said slowly: "If the Qin State really has such a plow, then there will be an explanation for the Qin State's move." ”

"Chang'an plough can be a province of Qin, but a large number of young and strong."

"These young men can be used to reclaim new fields, but they can also be used for border warfare, or even for war!"

"This is also the only explanation for Qin's great army this time."

"Otherwise, the Qin State's increase of 150,000 troops on the side this time will be a pure self-severing arm!"

Jing quite said firmly: "Your Majesty, the previous time was when I increased the border of my Great Chu, and coerced the Qin State to have to transfer the young and strong to delay the spring cultivation of the Qin State. ”

"But now, the Qin State is using my Great Chu strategy to further increase the border troops, coercing my Great Chu to have to transfer young and strong, delaying my Great Chu spring ploughing!"

The king of Chu and the others couldn't believe that there was a plough in the middle of the world that could be handled by one ox and one person.

But, as Jing Po said.

This is the only plausible explanation.

Otherwise, why would the Qin State dare to increase its troops to the border by 150,000!

The king of Chu agreed with his head: "What Jing Sima said is very true. ”

"If the Qin State really has such a plough and can draw out a large number of young and strong men to threaten the border, what should my Great Chu do?"

Jing Po, Qu Huan and the others glanced at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

A few months ago, when they thought of this strategy, the courtiers of the Chu State laughed heartily.

With such a conspiracy, the Qin State couldn't break the situation at all!

The state of Chu confidently threw a javelin with high hopes at the state of Qin.

As a result, today the Qin State grabbed the javelin, and then stabbed it back into the Chu State with a violent buckle!

What can they do?

The ministers could only give up: "Ministers, please increase the troops!" ”

In the face of such a conspiracy, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State could not think of a way to break the situation.

The monarchs and ministers of the Chu State also couldn't think of a way to break the game!

They just feel that this boomerang really hurts!

The king of Chu bowed his head slowly: "Then it will be according to what you Aiqing said." ”

"Raise more troops......" After thinking for a while, the king of Chu continued to say: "Fifty thousand. ”

"How?"

With 130,000 troops against 150,000 troops, it is difficult to take the initiative to attack, but maintaining the threat balance is almost enough.

Therefore, the ministers took advantage of the situation and gave up their hands: "The king is shengming!" ”

The king of Chu did not rejoice in the flattery of his ministers, and immediately asked in a deep voice: "What do you think of the Chang'an plough that Gongzi Qi said?" ”

Qi has not been at war since its restoration, and this perception is largely derived from the "Historical Records", but Qi only did not take the initiative to launch foreign wars after the restoration of the country.

Just look at the chapters in the "Historical Records" such as "Historical Records of Tian Jingzhong Wanshi Family Sixteenth", "Historical Records of Zhao Shijia Thirteenth", "Historical Records of Lian Po Lin Xiangru Lie Biography Twenty-first", we can see that after the restoration of Qi State, Qin State captured Qi State Gangyi and Shouyi, and after Chu State destroyed Lu, it fought fiercely with Qi State in Nanyang for a long time, threatening the hinterland of Qi State, Yan seized Qi Liaocheng, Wei took Pinglu, one of the five capitals of Qi and other dozens of cities, Zhao State Lin Xiangru, Pang Xuan, Yan Zhou and other generals took turns to attack Qi State, before Qin State sent troops to help Qi, The territory of Zhao has expanded all the way to the East China Sea! In the last years of the Qi Kingdom, not only was it not a war for decades, but it was a rare opportunity to breathe.

The daily life of the six heroes of the Warring States is to vertically and horizontally, plough and fight, and fight the Qi country, and the Qi country has tried to hug the thighs of all countries, but only the Qin State is willing to hug the Qi country, so that the country that fights the Qi country every day has become the five heroes.
