Chapter 675: Last Chance (6)
Chen Ping covered his nose and walked around the complicated alleys for a long time, encountering many lying corpses, and stepping on more filth, so that he no longer knew how to describe the city of Linzi.
There were some "tails" behind Chen Ping, of course, they were the people sent by the Qi State to monitor Chen Ping, but the result was that Chen Ping walked around in such a complex environment for at least an hour but turned out the same way.
Reappeared on the avenue, Chen Ping also turned his head and smiled at those "tails", and then went straight to his foothold without any other moves.
"Huh? Just hanging out and not having contact with anyone? ”
"There is only one tun chief who has been in contact with him, but ...... That's going up to find trouble, being bribed with money. ”
"Arrest that tun chief and torture him carefully."
"Yes."
What kind of official is the permanent attendant? In the Qin system, this official position should be called "Zhongchang Shi", in the Qin state, Chang Shi is a kind of figure similar to secretaries and advisers who accompany the king, and in the other countries, Chang Shi is more often a kind of playmate of the king. During the two Han Dynasty, in the Western Han Dynasty, the Chang Shi was a meritorious child who accompanied the prince, the most famous was Han Yan, a guy who even dared to sleep with the concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chang Shi simply became an official position held by eunuchs, such as the ten permanent servants in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The official system of Qi is different from that of Qin, and it is different in many official names and responsibilities, for example, the prime minister of the Qin system is called the minister of state in Qi, and the three princes and nine secretaries are not the same at all.
In fact, the system of the countries is not the system of the three princes and nine secretaries, they are a kind of various forms of government that evolved from the system of the Zhou royal family, and the Qin state was the first to set up an administrative system with its own characteristics (that is, the system of three princes and nine secretaries), and the state of Chu never adopted the system of the Zhou royal family, and the state of Chu adopted a system of situ that has existed since the Xia Dynasty.
There are many permanent attendants of the Qi State, and the junior clan relatives of the royal family such as Tian Jiao, Tian Guang, Tian Heng, Tian An, Tian Jian, and Tian Jiao are basically hung with this position, and some official positions such as civil officials or military officials are arranged.
The regular attendant who is now questioning is Tian An, who is not only a permanent attendant, but also a guard of Linzi East City.
Tian An is actually very interesting. He is the great-grandson of Tian Fazhang, the grandson of Qi Wang Jian, and the son of Tian Sheng, and if history does not interfere with changes, he will be the grandfather of Wang Sui, a famous scholar of the Han Dynasty, the great-grandfather of Wang He, the founding emperor of the new dynasty, and the direct ancestor of Wang Mang, the founding emperor of the new dynasty. So after Wang Mang usurped the throne...... It is the Wang Mang who "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, Wang Mang is humble and not usurped", when Wang Mang established a new dynasty, he posthumously recognized him as the first emperor, and built a temple statue for him, and ordered the ministers and subjects to sacrifice at four o'clock.
Why all this? The answer is very simple, Tian An's purpose of sending people to spy on Chen Ping is a bit weird. He just wanted to know who Chen Ping would contact after he came to Linzi, either to monitor Chen Ping's contact with the Han State to arrange a detailed work in Linzi, or to monitor Chen Ping's meeting with a certain Qi State official or general. These are not enough to use the word "weird", but to say that Tian An wants to hook up with Chen Ping and find a way out for himself, then explain something.
"Didn't contact anyone?" Tian An was a little entangled, he believed that he would definitely not be the only one looking for a way out. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Who else besides you pay attention to the Han envoy?" ”
"The king's men. There are also a few sons and some ministers. "This guy really didn't understand what the big guys were doing.
Tian An waved his hand to signal the man to retreat, stunned for a long time.
Who doesn't know that the Han State has been unable to check and balance, if it weren't for the fact that Han Wangzhe didn't know what he was thinking, so that the actions of the Han army were a little incomprehensible. The Han army should have been under the city of Linzi, Wei and Han should have been annexed, and the extremely weak Qin state should have perished.
The Han envoy Chen Ping came to Linzi and said something to Tian Dan, the king of Qi. As long as you have a heart, it is not difficult to find out. The existing princess who married far away conveyed Han Wangzhe's meaning in a private message, and later Han Wangzhe officially sent an envoy, which shows that Han Wangzhe is really not joking. There is no ruthlessness in rushing to kill them all.
Qi Wang Tian Dan can be a prince of the country, and the Qi clan can also find a new position in the Han State, with the example of the Chu State in front, the benevolence of the Han King Lu Zhe is not an empty white tooth, isn't it?
Can the situation in the world be reversed? Tian An felt that there was a possibility, but the premise was that Han Guang's support army and Tian Rong could lead the main force of the Qi army to return, but this is a possibility...... Unless the Han army collapsed on its own, Tian Rong would definitely not be able to return to help, and Han Guang was not so good at breaking through the Han army blockade, otherwise it could only be described as a 1 in 10,000 chance.
The world does not return to Han, people who know different things have different opinions, and Tian An is just one of the people who has seen the situation clearly, and it is normal to have any special thoughts. Such things are common in history, and he will not be the last.
As a child of the clan, Tian An seems impossible to think of taking refuge in Lu Zhe? That's a big mistake, if history has not been changed, this great-grandson of Qi Xiang Wang Tian Fazhang, the grandson of Qi Wang Jian, and the son of Tian Sheng...... During the Battle of Julu, he chose to take refuge in Xiang Yu very well, and then became the king of Jibei among the eighteen princes and kings divided by Xiang Yu. In this historical version, he found that the rise of Lu Zhe was unstoppable, and the Han Kingdom would unify the world, so was it bizarre to have the idea of taking refuge? Not bizarre at all.
"The head of the family," the old man's voice sounded outside the door: "Heng Gongzi is here." ”
"Tian Heng?" Tian An's eyes widened in surprise, he knew that Tian Heng was one of the hardcores who had always advocated resistance to the end. He stood up and straightened his clothes, then opened the door: "Where?" ”
The old man replied, "The main hall." ”
Tian An didn't have the time to investigate why he let Tian Heng in without a notification, and he walked forward with confusion on his face.
Tian Heng is a generation higher than Tian An, he is the younger brother of Tian Dan and Tian Rong, he is kneeling on the left side of the main hall at this time, and he just watched silently when he saw Tian An coming in.
"Uncle," Tian An, who is a junior, didn't dare to be rude at all: "I didn't know that my uncle was here, and I didn't go out to greet him, so I ask my uncle to forgive me." ”
Tian Heng waved his hand: "You sent someone to follow Han to make peace?" ”
Tian An sensed that something was wrong from Tian Heng's expression and tone, and he nodded, but he didn't dare to show his true intentions.
"Many ministers and officials have sent people to follow," Tian Heng paused, his face was very unkind: "What are the officials thinking, I know, what do you ministers want to do?" ”
Tian An laughed a few times and replied: "The little nephew is the guard of the East Gate, so naturally he must strictly guard against misconduct." In other words, the purpose of spying on Chen Ping is to pay close attention to who to contact, to see if he can find out the details of the Han State or who is colluding with him.
"Good!" Tian Heng's face looked a little better: "If you find that someone is colluding with him, what will you do?" ”
Tian An craned his neck and said very righteously: "Naturally, it is reported to the king." ”
"Tian Jiao and Tian Jian both replied like this," Tian Heng glanced Tian An up and down for a long time, and said slowly: "You have transferred some to me from the middle of the house." ”
"This ......" Tian An was stunned for a moment: "Uncle, who is the guest who wants his nephew?" ”
"Kill the Han envoy." Tian Heng replied unusually crisply.
Tian An was taken aback: "The Han envoy is an envoy sent by Han Wangzhe, and he is also a guest of the king to ensure safety, isn't it appropriate?" ”
"Hehehehe......" Tian Heng sneered: "Killing him can cut off many people's thoughts, don't you agree?" ”
Understood, someone must have made something to make Tian Heng angry, and the identity of the person who did those things must be more sensitive, so it stimulated Tian Heng, who had an extreme personality.
Who will it be? Tian An thought about it for a while and guessed that he was not the only one who was afraid of death, and he would not be the only one in the sect with ideas in his heart, such as Tian Heng just said that Tian Jiao and Tian Jian are not good birds.
Tian Jiao is the son of King Xiang of Qi, the younger brother of King Jian of Qi, and is not a loyal figure, the Han army attacked the city all the way to the village, and the civil and military surrenders under the command of Tian Jiao are the most, and they have not been treated well by the King of Qi recently, and the field that is quite close to Tian Jiao has also been relieved of the position of the guard of the South Gate.
Tian An was a little frightened, since Tian Heng talked about Tian Jiao and Tian Jian, and there was something in his words, then there must be some real evidence, otherwise Tian Heng's character would not be like that at all. Now, Tian Heng came to Tian An to ask for a guest, obviously he was tempting!
"How many customers does my uncle want?" Tian An was a little cautious.
Tian Heng slowly stood up: "All." ”
"What!?" Although Tian An has a weak heart, it does not mean that he will give in completely: "Uncle is a little too much." ”
In fact, it's not a little, as long as there is a little identity of people these days, they will keep doormen, and the identities of these doormen are also extremely complicated, mostly some chickens and dogs, and more clearly speaking, some rangers with a little bravery. A son like Tian An, the number of disciples will not be small, and the doormen are actually the last self-protection force of people of their status, Tian Heng is a very bad behavior like that, and he almost directly named Tian An's self-protection ability, which is a bad incident that is not far from life.
Tian Heng looked at Tian An with cold eyes: "The country is in great trouble, as a clan, we should do our best to preserve the national ancestor," he saw that Tian An's heart was constantly furious, and he paused: "The Han army cut off our land connection with Yan State, and the king must concentrate all his forces to attack the Han army from behind and General Han Guang to relieve the current unfavorable situation." ”
Tian An's disciples are at least 3,000 people, which is no secret at all. He said, is it possible to kill a man with so much labor? It turned out to be an attempt to open up a land connection with Yandi.
Wait, something seems wrong! Tian An asked, "Uncle, does the king know that you want to kill the Han envoy?" ”
Tian Heng nodded.
"......" Tian An completely understood now, Qi Wang Tian Dan did not intend to accept any conditions offered by Han Wangzhe at all! (To be continued......)
