Those who are ministers will be worried about the ministers, and the kings will humiliate the ministers to death. The Chu army invaded Guanzhong and pulled down Xianyang and burned the Taimiao, which are indelible shames. The historians of the Qin State, who have always been defeated and victorious, did not dare to hide in the history books, and only wrote the original - the Taimiao was burned, and it could not be sacrificed for several months or even half a year, and it may be able to deceive people, but it can't deceive ghosts.

"No one has heard of it, King Jing's quasi-reputation kills people and does not die, but is there such a thing?" In the Qutai Palace, Zhao Zheng asked Wei Yu. Wei Yi, who was born in the Valley of Ghosts, came from the Chu State, and Zhao Zheng often regarded him as the Chu State Tong.

"Yes, yes." Wei Yu nodded. Yushi's murder not only had an impact on the Chu State, but also quickly spread to the world. There was a lot of scolding.

"Widows often hear that King Jing and King Xian are also. However, if you kill people and don't die, the country is lawless, the king has no benevolence, the people complain, and the Jing country is weak. Qin Wangzheng said his judgment, as if he was making a psychological excuse for not attacking Chu.

Wei Yu didn't say anything when he heard this, he was silent for a long time, and Zhao Zheng, who couldn't help it, couldn't help asking, "Is this not the case?" ”

"Please forgive the minister for being innocent." Wei Yi stood up and solemnly admonished.

"You are not guilty." Zhao Zheng's sleeves flicked slightly, intending to listen to Wei Yi's high opinion.

"The minister heard that in the past, King Zhao Wuling wanted to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom, so that Li Wei looked at it. After returning to Zhao, Li Yan said: "Kevar also. The great king Fuva is afraid that he will fall behind the rest of the world. ’

King Wu Ling asked, 'Why?' ’

Li Yan said: "The king of Zhongshan, the man who leaned the car and went to the poor alleys (put the car cover in the car to visit the scholars who lived in the narrow streets and alleys), seventy families. Therefore, when the speed is cut, the mountain dies at the hands of other countries in the middle of the night, and the king regrets. ’

King Wuling was amazed and said: 'This virtuous monarch is also, Ankehua? ’

Li Yan said: "No. If you raise a scholar, the name of civil affairs will not be kept; The sage of the dynasty is the lazy cultivator and the cowardly warrior. If this is not the dead, there is nothing. ’”

Wei Yi finished talking about the past of King Zhao Wuling's attack on Zhongshan in one breath, and deliberately paused to let Qin Wangzheng have time to think, and then said: "In the past, Zhongshan was a strong man who valued Confucianism and ink, and if he didn't die, there would be no one in the world." The minister heard that King Jing once said to others: 'Those who do benevolence and righteousness will perish in the country', Si Wei! If you know the road of governing the country at such a young age, in time, it will become a great disaster for my Qin country. ”

Zhao Zheng did not have a suddenly enlightened and unteachable expression, his face changed and was uncertain. At this point, and the sins have been forgiven just now, Wei Yi had to bite the bullet and continue.

"Jing Guo is big but not strong, why not? It is not its political turmoil, but its people's weakness. But why are Jing people weak? Good poetry, advocating Confucianism, light and strong. Minister's news: The rise and fall of the country is in the people but not in the people, the survival of the society, and the military is no longer literary. Virtue, the beauty of martial arts, the benevolence of martial arts, and the righteousness of order. Taoism has been split for the world, and the scholars of today have their form and give up their intentions, praise their beauty and hate their provocation.

King Jing's new policy, with martial arts as the key, heavy on strong men and light on the common people, if it can really change the people's customs and sweep away the atmosphere of Confucianism, Jing will be strong......"

What Wei Yu said is very reasonable, and it is precisely because what he said is very reasonable that Zhao Zheng is thinking about whether to kill him or not - what you said is so reasonable, doesn't that mean that I am a faint monarch, since you dare to scold me for being a faint monarch, then why can't I kill you?

Wei Yi didn't know that his life was only on the front line, but he felt fear, and after speaking, he paused and said: "The minister's ridiculous words, I dare not say it again, please forgive the king." ”

"Yes." King Zhao's eyes flashed, and then he waved his sleeves again, signaling Wei Yi to leave.

Wei Yi bowed hurriedly, and retreated, and so on until he retreated to the side of the outer steps. When he turned around and was about to go down the stairs, his legs and feet did not obey the call in a fit of tension, and he fell down the steps. A person rolled down like a gourd, which immediately caused the temple people and armor soldiers below to laugh. The platform was one foot high, but fortunately it was a slope, Wei Yi just fell a little embarrassed, he didn't care about resenting these people who laughed at him, struggled to get up, and hurried out of the palace.

"You take the car, I wear a hat, and he gets off the car when he meets; Jun Eaves Hat, I straddle the horse, he will meet for the king one day......"

Daliang Ting Prison, when Yan eats, the jailer will always sing this song when he delivers food, this is a lame man with gray hair, and the only pleasure in life is singing. Hearing the singing, the prisoners reached out to beg for food. The food was very simple, but it was only two rough wheat cakes, three or five wild taro, and there was no soup, and there could be no sauce. At most, the water in the broken wooden barrel was scooped up by the prisoners, so that they would not choke and die of thirst.

Prison is like a cage, two against each other. The further you go inside, the darker it gets, and the more you go inside, the more foul it stenses. When they reached the last room, there was no prisoner stretching out their hands to beg for food, so the jailer stopped singing, knocked on the prison bar with a stick, and shouted, "Eat to the end, catch water and food." ”

When the prison fence was banging properly, and the jailer was about to raise the lamp to see if the prisoners inside were alive, a hand stretched out from under the doorrail to receive food, and when he received food, he whispered in his weakness: "I, Xiangbangye, can the strong man speak to the king......

"You're Xiangbang? Ha ha. The jailer burst out laughing. Of course, he knew that it was the former Xiangbang who was locked up here, but in addition to singing, a small person like him liked to ridicule these high-ranking and powerful people, "Do you know who was imprisoned opposite you?" ”

"Who?" How could Zhong Mingding's sub-season eat rough wheat cakes, and in less than a month, he was so weak that he couldn't speak.

"Xiangbangziqu." The jailer laughed again and asked, "Do you know who you were in this cell before?" ”

Zi Ji didn't ask this time, his previous prisoner in this cell was his former prime minister Sima Quan. When the jailer saw that he did not answer, he laughed even more, threw down the cake and taro, and limped without giving him any water, and pushed the cart away.

"You take the car, I wear a hat, and he gets off the car when he meets; Jun Eaves Hat, I straddle the horse, he will meet every day for the king......" The song sounded again in the court prison, but this time it got farther and farther away, until finally it gradually disappeared.

From Chen Ying to Mulingguan, even if you choose the nearest road, there are more than 1,100 miles, that is, more than 440 kilometers. Fortunately, the real cycling distance is only 340 kilometers, and when you reach Xiapi, you can take a boat north to Muling Pass. Subtract the time spent on the boat and subtract the reserved time, and you'll be riding about 50 kilometers a day. It's not difficult for adults to come here, but for Xiongjing, it's not a one-day ride last year, it's a seven-day ride in a row, and it's a way to march in the wild.

In the first two days, he felt very good, although 'Song has no long wood' (the big trees of the Song Kingdom have been cut down, there is no long wood), but he is used to seeing the palace tower for the first time and is very happy to see the rural scenery, and many times he will gallop wildly and enjoy the sense of speed of riding. On the third day, he felt that he couldn't do it, his whole body was sore, and he had to be supported by someone when he got on and off the horse, and he was always worried that this way down would become a loop.

If it was really a child, he would probably have made a fuss about asking people to find the carriage on the fourth day. Fortunately, he was an adult, and early on the morning of the fourth day, he actually did not want the servants to step on his feet, and he jumped on the horse, and then rode forward without saying a word. Zhuang Qujian immediately followed, and more than 100 palace knights also rode horses to follow. The left and right two histories fell to the end, and relying on the stirrup saddle, the two were barely able to ride.

In the hot summer, I ride for two hours in the morning, about 30 kilometers, and then rest to feed the horses. Horses are not cattle, they cannot ruminate, they need to be fed constantly, and concentrate must be fed to save feeding time. After hanging in the afternoon, I rode for about an hour and a half, and stayed at the post stations along the way before dark. It's just that on this day, because of the crossing of the river, at the time of early food, everyone has reached the south of Qiyi.

Qiyi is the ancient Song Dynasty (Huaibei Suzhou Qi County), and it seems to have a special meaning for the Chu state: in another history, thirteen years later, Wang Jian defeated the Chu army led by Xiang Yan here, and the Chu state perished; After another fifteen years, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed Qin Wei here, exposing righteousness, and the Qin Dynasty perished; After another six years, Liu Bang led the Han army to be stationed here to prepare for the Battle of Qixia, and a year later, Western Chu perished.

Qiyi has witnessed history, but in Xiongjing's eyes, Qiyi is just a city on the north bank of the muddy water. The longest of the two sides of the city is no more than six miles, and the circumference of the whole city is twenty miles. Because it is Huaibei Yaojin, Nanguo near the wharf also looks prosperous. However, Xiong Jing and his entourage on the south bank of the muddy water must cross the river before they can enter Qiyi.

The sudden appearance of more than one hundred and twenty horsemen on the docks was very noticeable, especially since some of the knights lifted their cloaks, which were full of mirror-like armor. The name of Jujia appeared on the news of Da Chu last month, and the king once said that every family would have Jujia in the future, and it suddenly became a strange news of Chu State, which not only spread all over Chu State, but also spread all over the world.

There was no town on the southern pier, but a small wild market, a few inns and a few liquor shops selling food and wine, and a dilapidated earthen ram with a flag at the front door, which was supposed to be the residence of the magistrate. Although more than 100 armored warriors on horseback attracted people's attention, these people were not afraid, and after looking at the group of knights, they began to go about their own business.

"King Yu, the boat here is once an hour, and there is no boat for the time being," Zhuang Qujian came over with a merchant dressed as a detective, who arrived here the day before yesterday. "And the one who has more ink."

"Inkman?" Xiong Jing looked at the wild market, serving corn, meat, fish, chickens and ducks, and even coal from Quyang, which was the same as the Yingdu market, there was everything to buy, a very ordinary market, and most of them were women, and Ding Zhuang was almost nowhere to be seen.

"Exactly." The scout also bowed. "Qiyi is Huaishang Yaojin, and the other side is still under the jurisdiction of the government, and the south bank is ......."

The opposite bank is Qiyi, which is naturally under the jurisdiction of Qiyi, and the south bank is separated by muddy water, which historically belongs to Shansangyi, but Shansangyi is far away from seventy or eighty miles away, although there are sirhusbands here, but these officials can't control the wealthy families and swordsmen who come from the north bank. It's not worth losing your life for money; You can make money without selling your life, so why not?

"Why isn't the ferry there?" Xiong Jing didn't care about any ink, half of the palace armor wore ring armor, although there was no giant iron spear, but there was a huge blade, and no blade could fight against it. He cares about the boat.

"After the meal, the boat arrives." The king's itinerary was kept secret, and the detective cavalry did not take out the talisman to send a boat to Yin Yi on the other side, but spent money to hire some rafts, and the agreed time was in today's Yanshi.
