Chapter One Hundred and Two

"Uncle?"

Hehua pulled the corners of his mouth, "It's really rare, you killed my aunt, and you are embarrassed to call yourself my uncle." ”

Her uncle is indeed a Chu native and a nobleman of the Chu State.

And her mother is the princess of Chu State, a victim of the game between Chu and Qin.

Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu.

When this sentence spread all over the world, the grievances between the Chu people and the Qin people were once again on the table, the sea of blood was deep, and they did not share the sky, even if there were only three Chu people left, then it must be the Chu people who destroyed the Qin State.

With Xiang Yu killing 200,000 Qin soldiers, and with Xiang Yu's army arriving in Xianyang, the fire that never went out in March burned Xianyang, the capital of the Great Qin State, which had been prosperous for hundreds of years, and the grievances between the Chu people and the Qin people also ended here.

Everyone in the world knows that Qin Chu is a blood feud, but they don't know that the two countries were also allies in a bloody alliance, as long as you are in danger, I will help the country.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State was hegemonic, and Qin and Chu formed an alliance to jointly contain the Jin State.

However, the strength of the Jin State was unstoppable, the Chu State was once breached the national capital, the King of Zhao fled in a hurry, and the Chu minister Shen Baoxu entered Qin overnight and asked the Qin State to send troops.

At this time, the Qin State was ruled by Qin Aigong, and when he learned that the Chu State was destroyed, he immediately waved his army south to help the Chu State recover.

The state of Chu was restored, King Zhao returned to the capital, and the relationship between the two countries reached its peak at this time, and they married each other and became allies forever.

But in the war-torn Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was only one way to end the war, that is, to sweep the princes and take the world into their pockets.

Shang Jun changed the law, and weak Qin rose.

East out of the Han Valley, look down on the princes.

The killing god was born out of nowhere.

In the battle of Yique, Bai Qi won more with less, annihilating 240,000 Han and Wei allied troops, and Daliang made Bai Qi famous in a battle.

But this is only the beginning, this god of killing indiscriminately destroys all enemy armies is born for war.

Han Wei was defeated, Zhao was defeated and retreated, and the princes of various countries were not afraid, and Bai Qi set his sights on the extremely powerful Chu State.

Wu Anjun only played the pinnacle game in Baiqi, and the state of Chu, which was proud of the princes, was vulnerable in front of him, Yan Ying was lost, the royal tomb was destroyed, the king of Chu was forced to move the capital, and the national strength took a sharp turn, and he no longer competed with the Qin state for power, and the grievances between Qin and Chu were also settled.

The battle of Yan Ying made the national strength of Chu from prosperity to decline, and it was also a turning point between Qin and Chu, but the relationship between generations of in-laws was not severed because of this evil, Qin and Chu are still the country of in-laws, at this time the ruling Qin Zhaoxiang King's mother Empress Dowager Xuan is a Chu person, and the future successor to his throne Qin Xiaowen's wife Mrs. Huayang is also a Chu person, and even because of her influence, her father's father was made the heir of King Qin Xiaowen and is the king of Qin Zhuangxiang.

But generations of in-laws could not stop the continuous war between Qin and Chu.

In 225 BC, after the Zhao State, the Yan State, and the South Korean Wei State were destroyed one after another, the father's eyes fell on the Chu State, Li Xinmeng Tian was the general, and 200,000 troops sent to the Chu State.

Li Xin attacked Pingyu, Meng Tian attacked the bed, both of them won a big victory, all the way to sing, the two generals took advantage of the victory to pursue, conquered Yan Ying, and once again included the land of Yan Ying as the territory of Great Qin.

In this case, no one will be the last Chu State with the ability to resist to collapse under the iron cavalry of Great Qin, and it only takes one or two more victories to take over the Kyushu of the world by her father.

However, the state of Chu was a powerful vassal state in the end, and unlike other vassal states that had no ability to defend themselves under the attack of Great Qin, Chu was the most powerful enemy of Qin for a long time.

The Qin Dynasty and the twilight of Chu is the most true portrayal of this era, the other vassal states are submissive to the Qin State today, and the Chu State will be subordinated tomorrow, and whoever is strong is a vassal of whom, without their own opinions and persistence.

When such a country is about to collapse, countless people who are fighting for the country are destined to emerge - such as Changping Jun, a Chu man who was the prime minister in Great Qin.

Rebellion from within is the deadliest.

Especially this internal person has a high position and power, and he is second only to the prime minister under the emperor.

Changpingjun's rebellion made the overwhelming Li Xinmengtian completely defeated.

200,000 loyal bones were buried in other places, Li Xinmeng Tian died nine times before he reluctantly returned to Xianyang, his father was furious, and Xianyang Palace was full of blood.

My father has been betrayed all his life, but this rebellion is the most tragic and serious rebellion since my father succeeded to the throne.

The rebels came from his henchmen, his pillow people, the rebellion brewed in Xianyang Palace, broke out on the battlefield thousands of miles away, and turned the victorious battle into a mountain of corpses of 200,000 soldiers.

Although Changping Jun is a native of Chu, he grew up in Xianyang, grew up with his father, and is his father's right-hand man, his sister is the wife of his father, the mother of her eldest brother Fusu, and his other cousin is her mother, another princess of Chu.

If they had not led this rebellion, then Changping Jun would still be the prime minister entrusted by his father, the princess of Chu would still be the undisputed wife of his father, and her son Fusu would be the heir of his father's high hopes, even if her eldest brother did not succeed to the throne and her father chose her, then the future queen mother would still be the princess of Chu, and the prime minister would still be Changpingjun of Chu.

Choose a splendid future, or choose a hometown that you have never set foot in, Changping Jun chooses his hometown, and his father's wife chooses her identity as a princess of Chu State.

Their choice is beyond reproach.

No one can cut off their ties with their homeland, they are just one of the countless patriots who do not hesitate to give up their low-hanging glory and choose a path of no return that is about to die.

The rebellion ended with Father's thunderous tactics.

Since then, there is no Changping Jun in the world, only the new King of Chu, the eldest brother knelt in the Zhangtai Palace, begging his father to spare his mother's life, 200,000 Qin soldiers died between their father and the princess of Chu, and the princess of Chu burned herself.

The rift between the father and the eldest brother was born.

The eldest brother doesn't hate his father, nor does he hate his biological mother, but the sword conflict between his parents makes it difficult for him to get along, and the relationship with his father is becoming more and more estranged day by day.

At that time, she was too young and too young, and she didn't understand the obsession of national hatred and family hatred and swearing to die, her last impression of A-Niang was that A-Niang was smiling and eating health pills, gently touching her face, and said to her with a smile, "Eleven, I'm finally free." ”

After eating the health pill, A-Niang never woke up.

Later, she learned that it was not a health pill, but a poison prepared by her mother early in the morning.

As early as when she left the Chu State and set foot on the road to the Qin State, she had prepared this kind of thing for herself.

Ah Niang never thought that she would be able to leave the Qin State alive.

She knew that her death was inevitable, and she knew that the demise of the Chu State was inevitable, but she still came to the Qin State, and came to the Qin State as a princess who was defeated and surrendered by the Chu State, because she was born in the Chu State, she was a Chu royal family, and she had to come to Qin.

The memory of A-Niang almost never laughed, only at the moment of death, she laughed, just like what she said, she was finally relieved.

In terms of ordinary romance routines, A-Niang has her favorite son-in-law in her hometown, but the Chu State was defeated, and she was forced to separate from her favorite son-in-law, and traveled thousands of miles to Qin to marry her enemy.

At the moment of her death, she was finally freed, she was no longer the wife of King Qin, but a girl who was about to go to her sweetheart's appointment, dressed up hairpins, cleaned herself up beautifully, and lived up to her identity as the princess of Chu State, nor did she live up to the son who had been waiting for her underground for a long time.

If so, then death is indeed a relief.

It means that she has retired after success, and she will complete in another form and live the life she wants to live.

But her aunt didn't.

She has never been loved, she has been an abandoned and used tool from beginning to end, the death of others is a relief, her death is only the end of life.

But despite this, death was still a relief for her.

She is no longer the princess of Chu State, nor is she the wife of King Qin, she is herself, a troubled person who has never been cherished.

At the moment when her life was about to end, she held a wooden hairpin that was not delicate, gently put it in her hair, sang an unknown minor tune, put on makeup in front of the rhombic glasses, and her gentle eyebrows and eyes were something she had never seen before.

There is no one waiting for A-Niang on the Huangquan Road, Changping Jun has become the new King of Chu, as the Neiying A-Niang can't escape the liquidation of the King of Qin, she has always been a pawn in the hands of others in her life, but this time, she chose to embark on this road by herself.

In the life of a chess piece, the only thing that can call the shots is to end his own life.

Her aunt died.

She was too young and too young to know what death meant, only that the people who served her had changed wave after wave during that time, and she only knew that she would never see her mother again, she asked her father why, and her father hugged her quietly, but did not speak.

So she didn't ask.

If death is a relief for Ah Niang, then she wants her mother to be happy in another world.

Don't be the princess of Chu anymore, and don't be the princess of Heqin sent to the enemy country, just be herself, no longer be at the mercy of being used, but do what she wants to do.

Her aunt can't be free in her life, and she hopes that she can be free when she dies.

Unrestrained, enthusiastic and flamboyant, singing their favorite tunes, embracing the brightness of the clear sky.

The past came to mind, and Hehua smiled lightly.

- Now A-Niang, she should have lived a free life, right?

"Ahem, Princess Hehua, you really listened to King Qin's words, and thought I killed her."

The man shook off the snow on his body, helped the pine tree beside him and slowly stood up, his eyes were resentful and crazy, "It was King Qin who killed her!" It was Yingzheng who killed her! ”

Zhang Han's eyelids jumped slightly, and his gaze fell on Hehua's face.

The girl didn't have much expression on her face, and quietly looked at the man in the snow.

There was no love and hate, no hatred, not even pity and guilt, as if the person in front of her was not her uncle, but an ordinary passerby.

Zhang Han narrowed his eyes.

As a latecomer, he knew very little about Changpingjun's rebellion, only that after Changpingjun's rebellion, His Majesty washed Xianyang Palace in blood, and even the two princesses of Chu who gave birth to his eldest son and youngest daughter did not let go, one self-immolated and died, and the other committed suicide by taking poison, and Hehua's biological mother was the lady who committed suicide by poisoning.

- In a sense, the death of Hehua's biological mother is indeed inseparable from His Majesty, although her death was implicated by Changping Jun, who let 200,000 Qin soldiers die in vain for no reason and bury their bones elsewhere.

"She didn't participate in Changping Jun's rebellion at all, it was Ying Zheng who wanted to purge the Chu forces in her palace, so she was angry with your A-Niang and executed her!"

The man said loudly, "It's ridiculous that you are still being kept in the dark, and you are a father in the face of the revenge of killing your mother-"

"Whoosh-"

Sharp/arrows whistled and nailed the man's hand holding the pine tree to the pine tree.

"Ahh

The man screamed in pain.

The intense pain caused him to bend his body into a shrimp, and he couldn't stop shivering to remove the crossbow/arrow nailed to his palm.

But as soon as his other finger approached, he was stopped by a heart-rending pain, and he trembled and leaned close to the trunk of the tree, trying to relieve the pain in his palm.

Hehua's brows furrowed slightly.

Zhang Han took in Hehua's subtle expressions and movements.

After a moment of silence, he rolled over and dismounted, walking towards the man who was wailing in pain.

"You, what are you going to do?!"

The man was momentarily vigilant.

Zhang Han didn't answer, the short blade was unsheathed, cutting off the arrow feathers and crossbow/head nailed to the sharp arrow in the man's palm, holding the arrow body and raising his hand, saving the man's hand.

Seeing this, the guards offered the medicine and bandages they had brought with them.

Zhang Han took the wound medicine, sprinkled it on the man's palm, and then wrapped a bandage with one hand to simply bandage the man's wound.

The man was very surprised, looked at the palm that was bandaged by Zhang Han, and said to Zhang Han hesitantly, "Thank you, thank you." ”

Zhang Han was still silent.

After bandaging the man's hand, he walked to his original position, turned over his horse, and stood behind Hehua.

The sound of horses' hooves came slowly.

"You're kind."

Wang Li's sneering voice sounded behind him, "If I were you, I would cut off his palm instead of bandaging his wound." ”

Zhang Han's gaze

Falling on Hehua, he said calmly, "He is the princess's uncle." ”

"The uncle who killed Eleven's mother?"

Wang Li sneered, "Don't want such an uncle." ”

The man was enraged, "I didn't kill her, she died in the hands of King Qin!" ”

"It was Yingzheng who killed her!"

"Ridiculous."

Wang Li sneered, "Your Majesty killed her? Why did Your Majesty kill her? ”

"It was another princess of Chu who united Changping Jun to rebel, and it had nothing to do with her, she could have not died."

"It was you, your greed killed her, not her at the hands of His Majesty!"

Hehua's expression was faint.

Obviously they were talking about her biological mother, the person closest to her by blood, but she didn't react, there was no sadness and pain, not even a look of compassion, she didn't have any expression on her face, she just stared at the man in front of her quietly, as if she wanted to see another face through his face - her aunt's face.

How could she not want her aunt? She thought about it.

I also think about it during the day, and I think about it at night, but missing can't solve any problems, and it can't make her aunt come back to her, missing is completely useless, it will only make her father more silent, so she doesn't want to do it anymore, and she doesn't tell her father anymore that she misses her aunt.

In fact, it's not that I don't want to, but I miss it in my heart.

She won't tell anyone how much she misses, she is the carefree princess of Daqin, not a little pitiful who has lost her mother.

In fact, she is not pitiful, she has a father, an eldest brother, many brothers and sisters, and King Meng Yi is with her, her life is wonderful and lively, she doesn't need to be immersed in pain and can't extricate herself.

But, but, in the middle of the night, she still thinks of her mother.

The woman who had never laughed, the poor woman who was sent over as a trophy by the mother country and shelved by the Qin state, is she doing well now? Has she found the freedom she wants?

If she is already free, then she sincerely wishes her to be free forever, to be always herself, and not to be sent as an object.

Hehua looked at the man quietly.

- She had heard Meng Yi mention to her that her uncle and her mother were twins, and the two looked very similar.

If her aunt was still alive, she would probably be what she is now, in her thirties, in her prime, and beautiful.

also has such a look, so that people can be regarded as a strange commodity to live in, and they will be regarded as a princess who is close to each other, and they will travel thousands of miles from Chu to Qin.

"No, I didn't!"

The man screamed, "I'm for her good!" I just want her to have a good life! ”

"The state of Chu is declining, once the country is destroyed, as the clan of the state of Chu, she will only be divided among the soldiers as a victory!"

"I didn't want her to fall into that step, so I bought Tai Shi Ling and let Tai Shi Ling choose her and make her the person of King Qin!"

The man looked at Hehua, "But King Qin is ruthless, and he doesn't care about the slightest affection, and he doesn't care about the princess's face——"

"What are you, and dare to ignore His Majesty's resolution?!"

Wang Li burst into tears, "You are still alive now because you are the last relative of the eleven matriarchal clansmen, if you dare to talk nonsense again, the next crossbow/arrow will not fall in the palm of your hand!" ”

The man laughed to himself, "You think I'm going to be scared to death?" ”

"Ha, now that I dare to appear in front of the princess, I am ready to be killed by you-"

"Smack-"

A pebble hit the trunk of a tree and bounced off the back of the man's neck, and the man's voice stopped abruptly and he fell headlong into the snow.

Zhang Han withdrew his hand and instructed the attendants on the left and right, "Take care of him, don't hurt his face." ”

"Whoa."

The attendant turned over and dismounted, helped the unconscious man from the snow onto his horse, and carefully wiped the snow from the man's face.

This is an extremely good-looking face, even if it looks quite damaged by wind and frost, but it has not damaged the clarity of his face, peach face, amorous eyes, a pair of thin lips, slightly similar to the princess.

- You don't have to drop blood to recognize your relatives, just by looking at his appearance, you know that he is the princess's maternal uncle.

The only difference is that the princess's eyebrows and eyes are more like Your Majesty, she is a sharp and graceful phoenix eye, she is brilliant when she laughs, and she is majestic and solemn when she doesn't smile.

And the man's eyes are more affectionate, even if he looks angrily and quarrels with the young general, but those eyes are still watery, and there is an illusion that everyone is affectionate.

is embarrassed, and he can't hide his national color, so you can imagine how beautiful his sisters should be.

But no matter how beautiful she is, once the lives of more than 200,000 soldiers are crossed between her and His Majesty, even if she is a goddess who shoots fairies in her dreams, she will not escape death.

The attendant cleaned up the man's face and couldn't help but look at the princess, who had been silent.

- Her mother's death is inseparable from her father's death, how should the princess deal with herself?

Hehua raised his hand to brush away the snow on his shoulder.

"Let's go back."

Tsuru Road.

Her voice was calm, and her face was even calmer, as if the grievances of the previous generation had nothing to do with her, and she just needed to do a good job as her heir to Great Qin.

But despite this, the attendant still felt that something was not quite right, if he was really like a stop of water, how could he suddenly say it back in his head? And not to continue to play around with the major general?

"Eleven, don't believe him."

Wang Li stopped talking, "He's lying to you, your mother's death has nothing to do with Your Majesty-"

Hehua interrupted Wang Li's words, "I know. ”

"My aunt came to Qin, and he single-handedly made it."

"The state of Chu is already at the end of the crossbow, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed by the state of Qin, in this case, as a Chu person, Changping Jun not only does not have to bear the pain of destroying the country, but also in the power of the Qin state, he is the most trusted prime minister of my father, how can I not let others be red and want to become the next Changping Jun?"

Hehua smiled lightly, his eyes were blurred for a moment, "But who would have thought that Changping Jun would let go of the high-ranking officials and betray Daqin for his home country, and 200,000 soldiers would sink into the sand, and there would be no place for the Chu people to stand in Xianyang Palace." ”

Wang Li's voice was slightly deep, "Eleven-"

But as soon as he spoke, his voice was stoning, and he could not comfort Eleven in such a matter.

That's Eleven's mother, no one can forgive Eleven, and he is not qualified to be righteous and awe-inspiring to make Eleven want to open up, saying that although your mother is dead, but that's because Changping Jun killed more than 200,000 soldiers in Daqin, your mother's life is life, and the life of Daqin soldiers is even more life.

He couldn't say that.

"Let's go back."

After a while, Wang Li slowly collected the bow and crossbow, "Eleven, do you want to go back to the palace?" ”

"If you return to the palace, I will accompany you to see Your Majesty."

"Uh, not to help you get justice from Your Majesty, but, uh, but—"

No matter what the latter words said, Wang Li scratched his head, a little irritable, "Forget it, I'll accompany you anyway." ”

"But let's say it first, you can quarrel with Your Majesty, and you can also hold grudges, but you can't give up the position of the heir at your fingertips because of this matter."

"You have the blood of the Qin people and the Chu people in your body, in a sense, you are the lord of the world, which is another form of consummation."

Wang Li is rarely serious, "If your mother knows everything, she must also hope that you can be the heir of Great Qin." ”

Hehua sneered, "Where did you think of going?" ”

"I don't think A-Niang's death is related to A-Niang's father, I just think that death is a relief for A-Niang."

"As he said, Ah Niang may not have participated in Changping Jun's rebellion, she was innocent from beginning to end."

Hehua turned his head sideways and glanced at the man on horseback, "But for A-Niang, Changping Jun's rebellion has fulfilled her, and she can finally abandon the rise and fall of the country and her brother's ambitions, and return her own freedom." ”

"A-Niang was born not to be expected, but she had to carry the rise and fall of the country and the ambition of her younger brother to come to Daqin."

"She has been a pawn in the hands of others all her life, and the only choice to die is her own decision."

Wang Li was slightly stunned, and it took a while to find his voice, "You, you are so open-minded?" ”

"Open-minded? No, it's not open-minded. ”

Hehua shook his head and looked in the direction of Xianyang Palace, "This is to let go of the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others." ”

- Her aunt begged for death, and if she begged her to live, it was the real pain that made her miserable.

·

"Did you see your uncle?"

Ying Zheng put down the fold and raised his eyes to look at Hehua.

This title made Hehua's heart move, and he couldn't help but look up at Yingzheng on the main seat, "Well, I saw it." ”

Meng Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Meng Tian's eyelids were slightly raised.

Li Si stroked his beard lightly, and Feng Zhengfeng's gaze fell on Hehua.

Wang Li stretched out his hand and pulled down the sleeve of Hehua's shirt.

Hehua raised his hand and patted the back of his hand, signaling that he didn't have to worry.

The small temple people served the tea cup, and Hehua walked to his seat and sat down, taking a sip of warm tea.

When the tea enters the stomach, the warmth flows into the internal organs, and the chill of Hehua coming back from braving the wind and snow is instantly dispersed.

Hehua held the teacup and rubbed the cloud dragon pattern on the teacup with his fingertips, "Shanglin Yuan is not a person who can be mixed in if others want to, if he can appear there, someone must want him to appear, want him to appear in front of me, and tell me what happened before." ”

"Father arranged it, right?"

Hehua looked up at Yingzheng.

The pair of phoenix eyes that were very similar to the emperor were facing the phoenix eyes of the God King, and the emperor raised his eyebrows lazily, "Yes, it was indeed arranged by me." ”

Hehua sighed, "It's hard for my father." ”

"I'd rather risk my complete break with my father, and tell me about my mother."

This is probably the last test of her path to heirship.

Based on her biological mother's life experience, see if she has the political literacy of the heir.

- Her eldest brother has never passed this test, and he is drifting away from her father.

But despite this, for a long time, the eldest brother was still the heir of his father's high hopes, and without her appearance, the eldest brother would be the undisputed heir of his father.

- Father has always been right about things and not people, and the blood of the Chu people in their bodies cannot prevent them from becoming heirs.

Perhaps this is not a test for the emperor, but a confession from a father.

Her birth mother died because of him, and he wanted him to tell her about it, instead of waiting for him a hundred years later when she learned about it from others and hated him for it.

"Father, aren't you afraid that I will hate you?"

After a moment of silence, Hehua asked Yingzheng.

Meng Yi looked sideways.

Wang Li's face changed slightly, and his whole heart instantly lifted.

Zhang Han was expressionless and sat quietly beside Hehua.

The emperor on the throne lifted his eyelids.

It seemed that there was no need to answer this question, but because it was she who asked the question, the emperor did not hesitate to his words, lowered his eyes to look into her eyes, and his voice did not distinguish between joy and anger, "Eleven, you have the right to know all this. ”

"Who is your birth mother, why she came, and why she died?"

"As for whether you will hate me, I think you will not."

Ying Zheng said, "I have my eyes on the world, and my daughter should be the same." ”

"You can see the suffering of the people, and you can see the pain of your mother as a pawn."

The emperor's voice was slow, "When your mother died, she was not wearing Chu clothes or Qin clothes, but the cloth she woven herself in her spare time. ”

"She doesn't have any jewelry on her, only a wooden hairpin that she has shaved herself."

"She is tired of war and strife, not from Chu or Qin, she is the last answer she gave me and you." ：，，.
