Chapter 689: United Princes Against Qin!
In the following time, Yingchang and Bai Qi began to face off, Du Changjing watched the battle, and Aluk Ge quickly left the imperial study, preparing to go south tomorrow to attack He Jie.
Time flows slowly, and the days pass day by day, fifteen days in a flash!
Twenty-four years of the Holy Qin, June 16th!
The Steppe Legion has been going south for fourteen days, but there has been no good news, and there has been no battle with any army, the reason is not that he avoided the battle, but that the Steppe Legion was sluggish, what kind of slackness method? For example, a hundred kilometers can be walked in one or two days, but the steppe army has to walk for seven or eight days, and the team is scattered, recreating the scene of the Hun iron cavalry in the past.
Emperor Qin died, and military discipline was relaxed!
This is the outside world's perception of Qin Jun.
Changfu County, Xinyang City, County Guard's Mansion, and Public Court!
In the public court, Zheng Long, the number one fiefdom prince of Yanjing, was in the first place, and his subordinate generals stood on both sides, and everyone did not say a word, making the public hall solemn and quiet.
"Now there are rumors that Emperor Qin has died, I don't know what you think?" Zheng Long, who was frowning, broke the silence, it stands to reason that he should be happy to learn the news of Emperor Qin's death, why is he frowning at this time?
Because Zheng Long couldn't believe that the living Emperor Qin had died, this was too sudden, without any warning, he was worried that this was Emperor Qin's trick to see through his deception, and deliberately deceived him to induce him to resist Qin!
Wang Shoucheng, one of the Four King Kongs, glanced at Zheng Long, "What does the prince mean?" β
"This king is worried that Emperor Qin has seen through our strategy, and deliberately released the news of his death to lure us into opposing Qin, and once we raise troops, we will fall into the trap of Emperor Qin!" Zheng Long expressed his worries worriedly.
"Hah!" Wang Shoucheng smiled lightly, "The prince's worries have also been thought about by his subordinates, but has the prince ever thought that if Emperor Qin really sees through our strategy, then does it matter if he really dies and fakes his death?" If we really die, we still have to oppose Qin, if we fake our death, we have to oppose Qin, because Emperor Qin has already targeted us, and sooner or later he will find a reason to destroy us, so we have no way to retreat, we can only move forward, and if we retreat, it will be an abyss! β
Zheng Long waved his hand and said with a cautious expression: "No, no, if Emperor Qin fakes his death, he must be ready, if we raise troops, we will definitely usher in the terrifying offensive of the Qin army, and besides, we have already surrendered to Qin, as long as we don't have troops, then Emperor Qin will not dare to risk the world's condemnation to attack me, otherwise, he will lose his trust in the world!" β
"We have to calm down, wait, wait for a result, and see if Emperor Qin is really dead or fake!"
"The prince is thoughtful, his subordinates are not as good!" Wang Shoucheng flattered with a smile on his face.
"Alas~"
Zheng Long frowned, sighed lightly, a trace of remorse appeared on his face, and then turned his head to look at Wang Shoucheng and said: "Defend the city, I can't hide it, this king now regrets a little bit, regrets the original surrender to Qin, the reason why we surrendered to Qin in the first place is to let the Qin army and other princes fight each other, we sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" β
"But the fact is that except for Liu Zhendong, those princes are all grass on the wall, and when they saw the Qin army approaching the city, they surrendered directly without letting go of an arrow, and handed over the forces that they had worked so hard to manage, resulting in the Qin army not only not losing its troops, but like a snowball, with more and more troops!"
"When the Qin army attacked Yan, the strength was less than 400,000, but now there are seven or eight hundred thousand, fortunately, there is news of the death of Emperor Qin, otherwise, He Jie of Haozhou County and the first king and two candidates of Meng County will definitely surrender with the wind, and also, Mingguang County in the south of us has also fallen, and the Qin army broke Qingkou without spending a single soldier and received 200,000 prisoners of war!"
"Now the Qin Empire's strength in the territory of the Yan Empire has exceeded one million, this million is not our imaginary million, it is a real battleable soldier, such a huge strength, this king is really powerless, I only hope that Emperor Qin is really dead, otherwise, our fraudulent surrender will be forced to become a real surrender!"
Zheng Long's words revealed a strong sense of regret and helplessness, and his intestines were full of regret.
Wang Shoucheng smiled awkwardly, "This ..... The subordinates didn't expect that those princes were so greedy for life and afraid of death, for the sake of a small life, the Jiangshan Sheji didn't want it, and they didn't expect that the Yan court would not react to the Qin army's attack! β
"The subordinates should die, the subordinates will die, and please ask the prince to punish the crime!" Wang Shoucheng stood up in shame and bent down to Zheng Long to plead guilty.
"Defend the city, don't get me wrong, I can't blame you for this, and this king doesn't blame you, this king just expressed his remorse, you proposed a deceptive strategy, it is the best policy, if you want to blame, blame those princes are stupid people, okay, don't stand still, sit down!" Zheng Long said.
After Wang Shoucheng heard these words, the guilt in his heart was reduced a lot. Then he sat back in his original position.
"Report!"
As soon as Wang Shoucheng sat down in his seat, a black-armored guard with a knife hurriedly ran into the court, and then knelt down on one knee to make a report: "Lord Qi, General Wu and General Niu are back!" β
"What!"
Everyone in the hall was shocked!
Aren't Wu Neng and Niu Ba in the Qin army barracks? How did they get back?
Could it be that Qin Jun really found out that the prince had surrendered and drove the two of them out? Or, seeing that the prince was deceived and exposed, he took out the Qin army camp?
"Let General Wu and General Niu come in!" Zheng Long shouted in a hurry!
"Yes!"
The sword-wielding guards came and went in a hurry, and soon left the court, and after about dozens of breaths, they saw Wu Neng and Niu Ba wearing cloth clothes full of patches, and walked into the public hall in a hurry, as soon as Niu Ba entered the public court, he began to shout:
"Wine, where is the wine, hurry up, I'm thirsty!"
Ma Yu, one of the four King Kongs, hurriedly took out the wine bag in his arms and threw it directly at Niu Ba, Niu Ba took the wine bag, stuffed the wine bag into his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of liquor like a tiger eating meat, and drank a whole bag of wine in one go, but Ma Yu was distressed, this wine bag was not an ordinary wine, but the best wine of the Qin Empire, worth a hundred taels!
Belch~
Niu Ba burped, spewed out the wine, and then wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with the placket of his clothes, while throwing the wine bag to Ma Yu, and then said to Zheng Long with a smile: "Lord Wang, don't laugh at me, the Qin army camp is forbidden to drink, plus the rush all the way, you can kill me with thirst!" β
"Haha!" Zheng Long couldn't help but smile, "It's been a hard time, by the way, why are you wearing a disaster victim's clothes?" β
Without waiting for Niu Ba to speak, Wu Neng, who was already impatient, spoke: "Lord Wang, we escaped from the Qin army's barracks, in order to avoid the Qin army from recognizing us, we picked up two pieces of torn clothes to wear, and dressed as refugees to deceive the Qin army!" β
"Escape?" Zheng Long's face sank, and he wanted to scold the two of them, stupid, why did you escape, didn't you push me into the fire? If you escape, even if the Qin army didn't suspect my fraudulent surrender, you have to doubt it now!
Although he wanted to scold, Zheng Long couldn't help it!
"That's right, we escaped, Lord Wang, we fled back this time, but with great news, Emperor Qin died!" Niu Ba said excitedly to Zheng Long!
Emperor Qin died!
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked!
Although I have heard the rumors of Emperor Qin's death, I still can't help but be shocked and stunned when I hear this from Niu Ba's mouth.
Niu Ba came out of the Qin army barracks, and he said that Emperor Qin died, so Emperor Qin really died!
Zheng Long was excited for a while, and stood up from his seat excitedly, "Niu Ba, what you said is true or false!" β
Niu Ba's face was red, and he danced excitedly: "Emperor Qin's death is true, it's true, a month ago, Emperor Qin took a cadre of cavalry to hunt in the mountains, and suddenly heard a tiger roar, Emperor Qin hunted tigers, threw off our cavalry, and rushed straight up!" β
"Who would have thought, there was a large swamp in front, Emperor Qin fell into the middle of the swamp because he was too fast, and King Qin Wu and Qin Shangyang Hou also fell into the swamp, but they didn't fall on the edge of the swamp and climbed out with their strength, but Emperor Qin was not so lucky, he had no power to borrow!"
"Emperor Qin struggled desperately, struggled hard, but the more he struggled into the swamp, the faster he fell, just when King Qin Wu and Qin Shangyang Hou were about to rescue, poisonous gas came out of the swamp, this poisonous gas wanted to be powerful, our two masters of the peak realm were directly stunned, Qin Wu King and Qin Shangyang Hou because they fell into the swamp, the poison was deeper than ours, and they hadn't woken up before we escaped from the Qin army camp!"
"When we woke up with a dry cavalry, Emperor Qin had been flooded in the swamp, and then after three hours, we finally scooped up Emperor Qin, by the way, or the two of us personally fished Emperor Qin out of the swamp, when we fished out, Emperor Qin was already out of breath, his body was stiff, we also measured his breathing personally, and we were absolutely sure that Emperor Qin had died unexpectedly!"
Niu Ba told what happened a month ago, and the tone and demeanor of his speech were like picking up a million huge silver tickets.
Not only Niu Ba was excited, but Zheng Long and other generals were also very excited when they heard it!
"Really?" Wang Shoucheng asked with a serious face.
This matter must be asked, after all, this is not a trivial matter!
"Seriously, see it with your own eyes!" Wu Neng nodded solemnly.
"By the way, after Emperor Qin's death, his guard Pei Ji ordered to block the news, and in order not to let the outside world suspect it, Aluk Ge that Huns are also preparing to go south to attack Hejie according to the original plan, and Pei Ji will also return to Xianyang quickly, ready to let the great prince of the Qin Empire ascend the throne!" Niu Ba added again.
"How did Emperor Qin's body be disposed of?" Zheng Long asked with a frown.
When Wu Neng heard this, he immediately replied: "Back to the prince, this Pei Ji really has two brushes, in order not to make people suspicious, he put the body of Emperor Qin and the poisoned and comatose King Qin Wu and Qin Shangyang Hou together, and put them in the imperial study, making it like a matter of monarchs and ministers!" β
"Also, not long after Emperor Qin's body was brought back, Pei Ji made people hang salted fish outside the imperial study, and his subordinates thought that Pei Ji was covering up the rancid smell emitted by Emperor Qin's body!"
Hearing this, a small stone in Zheng Long's heart fell, according to Wu Neng, Emperor Qin is really dead!
"Alas~" Zheng Long sighed lightly, and said in a tone full of pity: "Emperor Shengqin planned a palace change at the age of five, and it took seven years to regain the imperial power, reigning in the world, at the age of twelve, at the age of thirteen, the imperial driver personally expropriated the lost land, at the age of sixteen, swept the northwest desert at the age of sixteen, destroyed the Jin at the age of twenty-five, and destroyed half of the Yan at the age of thirty!" β
"Under his rule, the Qin Empire has changed from a third-rate empire to the overlord of Kyushu today in just over ten years, and his martial arts can be called the first emperor in ancient and modern times, and he is praised as the first emperor of the ages, without the slightest flattery!"
"It's a pity, it's a pity, the Holy Qin Emperor, the first emperor of the ages, didn't die on the battlefield, but died in the swamp, it's really emotional!"
While Zheng Long was happy, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, these words were his heartfelt words, and he sincerely admired Yingchang!
The strong will be worshiped by everyone!
"The emperor should be like the Holy Emperor Qin!" Wang Shoucheng also praised from the bottom of his heart,
Seeing Zheng Long and Wang Shoucheng praise Yingchang one after another, all the generals in the hall also felt pity, and felt sorry for the fall of an emperor through the ages.
The hall was silent, as if they were mourning for Yingchang, and they were indeed mourning for Yingchang, no matter what, they didn't rebel before, Emperor Shengqin was their emperor.
About ten breaths of silence, Wang Shoucheng broke the silent atmosphere and said to Zheng Long: "Lord Wang, now that Emperor Shengqin has died, King Wu of Qin and Qin Shangyang have been poisoned and will not wake up, this is a great opportunity, we must take action, otherwise when the Qin Empire establishes a new emperor, the death of Emperor Shengqin will not be particularly beneficial to us!" β
Emperor Shengqin died, the government and the opposition were in a panic, the people's hearts were unstable, the army's morale was turbulent, and the two top generals of Qin Wuwang Bai Qi and Qin Shangyang Houdu Changjing were poisoned and did not wake up, which greatly weakened the strength of the Qin army, and at this time, it was the best time for them to oppose Qin.
If the Qin court sets up a new emperor, the Qin Empire will quickly stabilize, and when the time comes, it will not be so easy, you must know that the generals of the Qin Empire who will fight are not only King Wu of Qin and Yang Hou of Qin!
"Yes, Lord Wang, we escaped from the barracks just to lead a large army to attack Qin!" Wu Neng said with a more urgent expression.
Zheng Long frowned slightly, looked at Wu Neng in a non-serious tone and asked, "Do you know the distribution of the Qin army's troops?" β
"I know, the main force of the Qin army is all in Wuyang City, Huaibei County and Jiyuan County, and they are all garrisoned by ten Qin army pawns leading 10,000 prisoners of war, these people's combat effectiveness is vulnerable, and wherever the army goes, they will surrender!" Wu Neng said disapprovingly, completely ignoring the garrisons of the counties.
If the garrisons everywhere were Qin troops, he would definitely not dare to underestimate them, but the garrisons were all prisoners of war, what combat effectiveness did these prisoners of war have, I am afraid that as soon as they saw Zheng Long's hundreds of thousands of troops, they immediately surrendered.
"Don't underestimate it, the lion fights the rabbit with all your strength, not to mention that our enemy is the Qin army, we must come up with a foolproof strategy to defend the city, have you come up with a good plan now?" Zheng Long said cautiously, and did not underestimate others because the garrisons everywhere were prisoners of war.
Wang Shoucheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he saw Zheng Long asking about himself, and after pondering for a while, he replied: "Back to the prince, my subordinates think that Pei Ji will return to Xianyang in a month at the earliest, and he will return to Xianyang, and he will have to help prepare for the enthronement ceremony and the aftermath. β
"When the new emperor of the Qin Empire is established, the country is stable, Pei Ji will return to Wuyang and transport the body of Emperor Qin back to Xianyang, this time, it will take a month, and it will take two months to transport the body back, so we have at least three months of anti-Qin time!"
"During this time period, we have enough time to contact He Jie of Haozhou County, the first king and two candidates of Meng County, and Yin Li of Yandao, so that they can fight against Qin together!"
"You mean, unite the princes of all over the country to attack Qin?" Zheng Long's brows tightened, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
In this world, he has long regarded it as a meal on a plate, and let the princes and princes of all places jointly attack Qin, wouldn't he want to share a little of this plate of food among them?
"That's right!" Wang Shoucheng nodded.
Zheng Long frowned, and his tone was a little embarrassed: "The princes and princes everywhere are the lords who eat meat and do not spit out bones, if they unite them, they will definitely prescribe the conditions of madness, and now that the Yan court has been destroyed, it is not impossible for them to establish themselves as emperors, if they put forward the conditions for establishing themselves as emperors, what should they do?" β
"It's hard to really agree, if we promise them, we can only sit on half of the country, this king doesn't want to be the emperor of half of the country, you don't want to be half of the country's civil and military generals, if you can't get a complete country, even if you build an empire, which empire can look up to us?"
"Lord Wang, a temporary compromise does not mean that there will always be a compromise, as long as the Qin army is driven out of the Yan Realm, their life and death are not up to us?" Wang Shoucheng looked far away, that is, he looked at the overall situation very seriously, and did not take the small profits in front of him in his eyes.
Zheng Long couldn't help but hesitate, he admitted that what Wang Shoucheng said was very reasonable, but if he did it according to Wang Shoucheng, in the future history books, he would be a capricious emperor, this kind of emperor, a few would like it, and it would be good if no one scolded him.
Wang Shoucheng seemed to see through Zheng Long's thoughts, and then hurriedly replied: "Lord Wang, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, as long as we are strong, no one dares to say irresponsible things, good and evil, good and evil, it is just an order from the prince!" β
"Alas!"
"Okay, then let's do it according to the meaning of defending the city, send people to contact the princes from all over the country, avenge the Great Yan court, and raise troops against Qin!"
Zheng Long sighed heavily, he had already been moved!
"The prince is wise!" Wang Shoucheng flattered with a smile on his face!
"Long live the prince!" The rest of the generals shouted happily!
Hearing everyone shouting Wisdom and Long Live, Zheng Long was in a good mood, and he didn't care about his reputation for a moment.
Whatever, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain!
As long as Lao Tzu wins, what history is written is not what Lao Tzu said!
Next, Zheng Long sent a few Wenchen to secretly go to Meng County and Haozhou County, as for how to get to Yandao, it was naturally through the seaport of Haozhou County.
Time passed slowly, with the passage of time, the death of Emperor Qin swept all over the Yan Realm, which shocked the surrounding countries, and the happiest was the Zhao Empire, Zhao Didan did not matter whether it was true or not, the night he got the news, he drank directly with the hundred officials, and he was drunk.
A month!
Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Ganquan Palace!
In the front yard of Ganquan Palace, a **-year-old boy and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl are dancing swords in the courtyard, both boys and girls, all wearing tight black robes, and under the big tree on the side, two beautiful women in luxurious clothes are chatting.
The former is Yingjiang, the prince of the Great Qin Empire, Yingjiang is already eight years old, although he is eight years old, but the essence that flashes in his eyes from time to time tells everyone that he is not an ordinary eight-year-old child; The latter is the eldest princess Yingbei, Yingbei, a little girl, has also grown up, she is twelve years old, and she is placed in ordinary people's homes, and in two or three years, she will reach the age of marriage.
And the two beautiful women under the big tree are Yang Xiao, the empress of the Great Qin Empire, and Tang Hua, the noble concubine of the Great Qin Empire!
In vain at this time, a burst of footsteps came, and I saw the head of the military guard of Ganquan Palace walking into the courtyard in a hurry, and the sunset walked three steps in front of Yang Xiao, and knelt down on one knee with a respectful expression to make a report: "Queen Qi, Prime Minister Zuo asks to see!" β
Yang Xiao nodded indifferently, "Let Prime Minister Zuo come over, it was the palace that called him, Jiang'er, this child is already eight years old, his father said that he would send him to the school to study at the age of eight, and now that his father is not there, he can only let the palace handle this matter!" β
"Hahaha!"
A relatively immature laughter came, and everyone looked up, only to see Ying Jiang laughing excitedly.
It's finally time to study, it's finally time to study!
Ying Jiang excitedly threw away the wooden sword in his hand, and then jumped around in place, seeing this, Yang Xiao's face darkened, this kid, doesn't he like to practice martial arts so much?
"Yes!" Sunset replied with a solemn and respectful expression, then got up from the ground, turned and left the courtyard.
About half a pillar of incense later, an old man with white temples came to the front yard of Ganquan Palace under the leadership of the setting sun, this old man with a sixtieth birthday was wearing a black white crane complement official uniform and a ruby official hat, this person was Zhang Feizi, the prime minister of Zuo!
"Minister Zhang Feizi, I've seen the queen's mother!" Zhang Feizi stood in front of Yang Xiao and bowed respectfully.
"Throne!" Yang Xiao waved his hand with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
The sunset was proud, and immediately moved a chair, after Zhang Feizi thanked him, he slowly sat down, after Zhang Feizi took a seat, Yang Xiao said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zuo, this palace called you here, not for anything else, just for the eldest prince Yingjiang to go to school, originally this matter was decided by His Majesty, but His Majesty was not here, so he could only let this palace, the charge d'affaires of the mother!" β
After Zhang Feizi heard these words, he understood why the queen summoned him here, and then said: "Queen Mother, there are five imperial capital-level schools in Xianyang, namely the White Tiger School, the Vermilion Bird School, the Qinglong School, the Xuanwu School, and the Zhongdu School!" β
"Which one do you like, and then the minister is arranging it, I don't know if it's okay?"
"This palace has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I don't know much about the five imperial capital schools in the outside world, can I bother the prime minister and introduce them to this palace one by one?" Yang Xiao said softly.
"I don't dare to be tired, the prince is studying, it is related to the society of the Great Qin, it is the duty of the minister, as for the introduction of the five imperial capital schools one by one, this does not need to be introduced, they are not much different, each has its own strengths, if you really want to introduce them one by one, I am afraid you have to say that it will take three days and three nights!"
"If the queen can't make up her mind, the minister can recommend it!" Zhang Feizi didn't want to introduce the five imperial capital schools at all, because once introduced, he didn't have half a day to introduce them, and there were many things about his middle academy and Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, so he didn't have time to introduce them to Yang Xiao one by one.
Yang Xiao opened his mouth and said: "The school recommended by Prime Minister Zuo must be suitable for the eldest prince, Prime Minister Zuo said!" β
"Zhongdu Academy!" Zhang Feizi said calmly.
"Oh?" Yang Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was slightly hesitant: "Although this palace is not familiar with the outside world, it also knows that the Zhongdu Academy is not in Xianyang City, it is a little far away from Xianyang City, it seems to be ten miles, right?" β
"Originally, it was ten miles, but after the expansion of Xianyang City, it was only five miles away from Xianyang!" Zhang Feizi smiled faintly.
"That's still ten miles!" Yang Xiao suddenly felt embarrassed.
Although Xianyang City has been expanded and shortened the distance of the Zhongdu Academy, the distance is still ten miles, and from the palace, it is more than ten miles, which is far away.
Zhang Feizi seemed to have guessed Yang Xiao's thoughts, and then raised his hand to salute and said: "Queen Mother, if the eldest prince goes to school, he will definitely not be able to return to the palace, and he will not be able to reveal his identity, otherwise, the teaching master will not dare to teach at all, so the Zhongdu Academy is the best choice for the eldest prince, far away from the palace, you can live in the school house of the Zhongdu Academy!" β
"What!"
"Can't go back to the palace!"
Yang Xiao and Tang Hua exclaimed one after another!
Don't let your identity be exposed, the two of them can understand, but what is the reason why they can't go back to the palace, Jiang'er is still young, only eight years old, let him be alone outside at the age of eight, I'm afraid any parent can't bear it!
Seeing the reaction of the queen and the concubine, Zhang Feizi smiled and said: "The queen's mother, the concubine's mother, if the eldest prince returns to the palace every day, how can this identity be hidden?" β
When people come home from school, he goes back to the palace after school, and he doesn't scare people to death.
"Two mothers, Your Majesty chose to send the prince to the school, just to cultivate the prince's sense of independence, moreover, the identity and background of the students in the school are different, some are born in wealth, some are born in the eunuchs, and some are born in commoners, the school seems to be just a place to learn knowledge, but it is actually a small world!"
"The prince will meet all kinds of people in the school, and he will also know the warmth and coldness of people, as long as he knows this, the future prince will ascend the throne and rule the world, and he will know how to govern the world in a better way, and he will also know right from wrong to distinguish good from evil, and there will be no harm to the prince!" Zhang Feizi then said.
After Yang Xiao heard this, he suddenly didn't know what words to refute.
"Your Majesty told you all these words?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.
Zhang Feizi smiled lightly, "It's not Your Majesty who told you, it's what the minister thinks!" β
"You and Your Majesty are really one-minded monarchs and ministers, okay, then do what Prime Minister Zuo wants, early tomorrow morning, trouble Prime Minister Zuo to enter the palace to receive people!" Yang Xiao said helplessly.
"No, let's go now!" Ying Jiang suddenly ran to Zhang Feizi's side and said, looking impatient.
Staying in the palace for eight years, Yingjiang couldn't stay for a long time, and now he has the opportunity to leave the palace, and he doesn't have to go back to the palace, he can play outside unscrupulously, such a cool day, let alone waiting for tomorrow, he is too long to wait for an hour.
"No, you have to go tomorrow, tonight the queen mother will gather all the concubines of the harem and your three younger brothers, everyone will have a meal together and see you off!" Yang Xiao looked solemn, stared at Ying Jiang in a stern tone and said.
"I don't, I'm going to go now, if I don't go today, I won't study well in the school, I play every day, I'm still fighting, Queen Mother, you can do it yourself!" Ying Jiang crossed his hands on his waist and looked at Yang Xiaodao fearlessly.
It's so draggy!
"You dare to threaten the queen mother, you really think that you can't study for the queen mother!"
Yang Xiao was almost angry to death, if it weren't for Zhang Feizi, I'm afraid she would have beaten someone with a scabbard.
"Originally, in the first month of this year, I should have entered the school, but because my father wanted to drive the imperial expedition, it was delayed, which led to the delay until now, anyway, I have to go today, even if the queen mother kills me, I have to go today!" Ying Jiang's attitude was firm, and his tone carried a feeling that could not be refuted!
The power of the emperor is innate!
Don't you want to stay more than a day? Yang Xiao's tone softened, his eyes were slightly red and flashing with tears, and his voice carried a hint of pleading.
Since Yingjiang was born, the mother and son have been inseparable, staying together every day, and now they are about to be separated for a period of time, Yang Xiao is really reluctant.
Even every time she thought that Yingjiang was going out of the palace to study, she would complain about Yingchang from time to time.
Ying Jiang saw that Yang Xiao's eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it, but the heart that insisted on leaving the palace was never loosened, only to see Ying Jiang turn around, turn his back to Yang Xiao and say, "Queen Mother, please, let me out of the palace!" β
Yang Xiao's white cheeks crossed two tear stains, and he choked up with reluctance: "You... Go for it.."
At the last moment, Yang Xiao still chose to let go.
And Yang Xiao said the three words 'you go', tears couldn't stop crying, the Tang painting next to him hurriedly comforted, Yingbei also walked to Yang Xiao's side, and began to comfort Yang Xiao, at this time, Yingjiang became cold-blooded and ruthless, and went out of the courtyard without looking back.
"The minister retires, the queen takes care!" Zhang Feizi hurriedly saluted and retired, and quickly followed Yingjiang.
"Woo!"
"My Jiang'er!"
"Queen Mother, and Bei'er, Bei'er will always be with you!"
"It's better to be Bei'er, unlike that white-eyed wolf, who just walks and doesn't look back, woo!"
As soon as Yingjiang left, Yang Xiao began to cry, crying pear blossoms with rain, as pitiful as she was, without the slightest queen majesty, at this time, she was a mother who 'lost' her child.
At the same timeγThe Ministry of Rites Yamen!
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: I went to Yan in the past, and Zhang Wen, the envoy of the Great Qin, was killed by the Yan court, and now I have recaptured the body, Zhang Aiqing died for the country, I decided to bury it with national rites, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to organize the funeral, Qin this!"
In the meeting hall inside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the officials of the Ministry of Rites, headed by Kong Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, knelt on the ground to listen to the decree, and in front of all the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Ji, the chief of the military guard of the Xianyang Palace and the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was reading the holy decree to them.
After a month of galloping, Pei Ji finally returned to Xianyang, and immediately conveyed to the Ministry of Rites the will to bury Zhang Wen with national rite specifications.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Kong Wen, who was kneeling at the front, shouted excitedly!
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The rest of the Ministry of Rites officials also shouted excitedly, why were they excited? Because they felt valued, all along, among the six ministries, the status of the Ministry of Rites was the lowest, and officials of the same rank stood together, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were a head shorter than the officials of other yamen.
And now, His Majesty actually wants to bury Zhang Wen with the national rite specifications, and the treatment of the national rite specifications is not available to anyone, as long as the meritorious man with outstanding achievements can obtain this honor, and His Majesty also sent his confidant Pei Ji to personally convey the will.
Whoever gets this honor will die without regrets!
It's just that they don't know that this is just a decision made by Yingchang to cooperate with the fake death, after the will is transmitted, the Ministry of Rites will definitely start preparing for the funeral, and the details of various countries, including the details of the Yan princes, will definitely tell their princes about it, and these princes know this, and they will definitely think that the Ministry of Rites is preparing for the funeral for Yingchang.
Once again, the rumors of Emperor Qin's death have been confirmed!
"Master Kong, take the order!"
Pei Ji rolled up the holy decree with a smile on his face and handed it to Kong Wen, who quickly stood up and bent down to receive the holy decree with both hands.
"The minister takes the order!"
After Kong Wen received the will, he unfolded it and looked at it, wanting to make sure again, after confirming that the holy decree was correct, Kong Wen shed tears excitedly, and then began to beckon his officials to start preparing for the funeral.
As for where Pei Ji went after that, no one knows....
.....
Meng Jun!
Meng County is located in the southern area of Yanjing, east to Haozhou County, north to Jiyuan County, northwest to Changfu County, west to Mingguang County, south to Zhao Empire, Zhao Yan Pass Longmen, just in Meng County.
Because Mengjun is on the border of Zhao Yan, the development momentum has not been good, it is the poorest place in the eight counties of Yanjing, the poorest place, and the place with the most people, relying on the huge population base of Mengjun, occupying the southern part of Mengjun Zhou Xin and occupying the northern part of Mengjun Tang Ze are both powerful princes with 50,000 soldiers!
The most powerful is Song Zheng, the king of Yun, who occupies Mengcheng, the county capital of Mengjun, with an army of 250,000.
The situation in Meng County is the same as the original Jiyuan County, they are all one king and two candidates, one king is dominant, and the two candidates are united, the original three families have always had conflicts, even if the Qin army enters the customs, there are still small-scale conflicts, but after the Qin army captured Jiyuan County, the three families have a very tacit understanding to stop and make peace, so that the chaotic Meng County can get time to recuperate.
The northern area of Meng County, Luhe County!
Luhe County, the old nest of Tangze in North Menghou, has a population of less than 10,000, but 30,000 soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 are distributed in other areas in the north of Mengjun County, guarding the land for Tangze.
Luhe County, the county government, the court!
In the public court, Tang Ze of Beimenghou is the first, Tang Ze is not from a mountain bandit, nor is he one of the top ten families, he is a native of Luhe County, from the Tang family in Luhe County, and the Tang family is the first family in Luhe County!
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are also many generals in armor, these are Tang Ze's subordinates, and they are also Tang Ze's brothers, for these brothers, Tang Ze values them very much, and cares about them very much, Tang Ze himself is also a righteous person, and it is precisely because of this that a group of people follow him to fight the world.
Tang Ze glanced at the generals on both sides, and then said: "It is rumored outside that Emperor Qin died unexpectedly, do you believe or not believe this news?" β
"Big brother, it doesn't matter if he is really dead or fake, I have to him anyway!"
"Emperor Qin's death is seven points true and three points false!"
"If the rumors are false, we will not come out of the city, resist the Qin army according to the benefits of the city, if the rumors are true, we should take the opportunity to attack Qin!"
"That's right!"
The generals expressed their opinions one after another, judging from what these generals said, they had no intention of surrendering at all, yes, they had never thought of surrendering, they just wanted to fight with the Qin army, in their eyes, surrendering without a fight was a huge shame!
They can't afford to lose this man.
"Report!"
In vain at this time, a guard who did not bear the armor ran in outside the hall, and the guard did not live up to the armor, but it was not for the sake of beauty like the military guard of Xianyang Palace, he had no armor to wear, no way, the Tang family's financial resources were limited, and it was already very difficult to support the daily consumption of the 50,000 army, and there was no extra money to build the armor.
Tang Ze's army of 50,000 people, only the first lieutenant has armor, and the other soldiers are all dressed in cloth, not to mention armor, the weapons are very messy, what axes, hammers, and all kinds of messy weapons.
"Qi Qi Hou Ye, there is a person who claims to be a messenger sent by Zheng Long, asking to see Hou Ye!" The guards knelt on one knee with a solemn expression and made a report.
"Oh?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested, "It's really interesting, it seems that this Zheng Long heard the news of Emperor Qin's death and wanted to oppose Qin. β
"Zheng Long? Hehe! β
"Zheng Long is really capricious, in the early stage, he saw that the Qin army was as fierce as a tiger, and he surrendered directly without letting go of a fart, and now when he heard the rumors of Emperor Qin's death, he immediately wanted to take the opportunity to rebel, eldest brother, younger brother doesn't want to be in the company of this kind of villain, just blow people away!"
"Zheng Long is a real villain, this kind of person, shameless!"
"I can't see this kind of villain in my life, if this kind of villain becomes a trend, it will be a disaster for the common people!"
"Big brother, hurry up and blast him away!"
"Don't be rash, Zheng Long is indeed a villain, but a real villain is more reliable than a bright gentleman and a dark villain, if we are united, it may not be a good thing!"
"Yes, we want to take a sip of soup in this troubled world, and we must unite, otherwise, we will definitely be eaten by the Qin army!"
"That's a good point!"
Some generals disdain Zheng Long and look down on Zheng Long, thinking that Zheng Long is capricious and a villain, and they don't want to be with him, and some generals look down on Zheng Long, but they think that they should be friendly with Zheng Long, after all, it is difficult to survive in the troubled times by relying on Tang Ze's 50,000 army alone.
The discussion of the generals was heard by Tang Ze, to be honest, he also looked down on Zheng Long, when Zheng Long announced the surrender of Qin, he wanted to send troops to fight Zheng Long, but if he looked down on him, he could still cooperate.
"Let Zheng Long's envoy come in, I want to see what tricks Zheng Long is going to play!" Tang Ze said with a solemn expression.
"Yes!" The guards who knelt on one knee responded, then quickly got up from the ground, and soon left the public hall, as soon as the guards left, the public hall quickly fell into silence, and everyone was quietly waiting for Zheng Long's envoy.
