When Zhang Lu arrived at the hall, the waiter carried the tripod and the gui, the song and dance tunes changed again and again, but Xu Jia didn't feel it at all. Suddenly, his ears became quiet, and the singing, dancing, and music stopped. He saw Zhang Lu standing in front of him. Xu Jia's mind went blank, and he almost instinctively saluted in his seat and said: "I would like to see Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Lu said with a joking smile: "Hey! Are you the doctor in Wei Zhong? Where is the doctor's food?"
Two waiters brought over a table. What was on it was not a tripod, but a pile of finely chopped grass, mixed with some black beans, and placed it in front of Xu Jia. Xu Jia was bleeding, and he was about to protest, but the two prisoners beside him grabbed his arms, turned them around, and pressed Xu Jia's head into the fine grass. The grass was indeed cut very finely, and as soon as I put my head in, my mouth and nose were completely covered, making it difficult to breathe. Naturally, I couldn't say anything. Zhang Lu was heard shouting sternly: "Xu Jia, do you know your crime?"
The two prisoners let go of Xu Jia slightly. Xu Jia's head and face were covered with fodder, his eyes were red, and he was speechless.
Zhang Lu pointed at Xu Jia fiercely and said: "You are the second best, and Wei Qi is the leader. After all, you should sue the king of Wei for me and hold Wei Qi's head! Otherwise, I will slaughter Daliang." He waved his hand and let the two The prisoners carried Xu Jia out of the palace and threw him to the ground. He returned to the steps and said to the guests with a bright smile: "Wei Jinai, sooner or later he will be destroyed! Today is an appointment with him!"
A businessman asked in a somewhat ignorant voice: "Why was Wei guilty of Qin?"
Zhang Lu stared at the businessman and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "If you are guilty of Qin, you can still pray; if you are guilty of God, you can't pray!" The businessman was so frightened that he was covered in chaff. , sweating all over.
When Zhang Lu was furious at Xu Jia and the two prisoners treated Xu Jia very violently, Prince Chu watched nervously; then he looked at Huang Xie with some horror, only to find that Huang Xie was nodding and smiling as if watching a show. The position of these two people was very close to Zhang Lu's main seat, at the top of all the envoys, and a long distance away from the steps. The prince then looked at the Qi envoy who was qualified to sit in the palace. The envoy seemed to be thoughtful, with an expression of confusion rather than nervousness. The people sitting next to the door should be businessmen from various countries. They often come to Qin to do business in the name of envoys. In fact, apart from saying that the two countries are friendly, they do not convey any more information; of course, Qin ministers can They got a lot of information from there, so they turned a blind eye and dealt with it vaguely. The expressions of these merchants varied. Most were frightened by the scene in front of them, and some were dumbfounded; some were obviously at a loss and did not dare to raise their heads; a few were staring at Zhang Lu's every move with amusement in their expressions. Huang Xie saw the prince looking around and cast an approving look at him.
Then I saw Zhang Lu walking into the hall with his back bent. No one dared to look down upon this hunched-over, old-looking man. There was a power of life and death in his eyes. I saw him walking and saying: "Wei has been punished by heaven, so we have nothing to pray for!" Then he seemed to walk casually to a guard merchant and said: "We are not the guards of Puyang, but the Wei of Liang! Wei Xianxian To the west of the river, and then to the east of the river, and to Anyi, I must also offer the beams!" Zhang Lu spoke impassionedly, and the envoys in the audience didn't know whether to applaud or cry, and they all remained silent.
Zhang Lu walked up to a Korean merchant and said, "When Qin goes out to attack Wei, it must also cross Han. I hope Han can pass through!"
Han Shang did not dare to answer and said: "I must report to the king."
Zhang Lu said: "I think the king of Han will definitely agree! Han Wei will congratulate King An when he pays homage to him; Han Wu will express his condolences when the prince is mourning. Are you going to turn your back on Qin with the whole country? The territory of Han will be divided into three, and I will attack Han. Covered in a single thought! "
Han Shang was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was trembling, and he did not dare to look up.
Zhang Lu said: "When An Guojun pays homage, all the princes congratulate him; when the prince mourns, all princes mourn him and it is a courtesy. But if the three Jin Dynasties don't know it, how can they deceive us, Qin! Is there an envoy from Zhao now?"
The Zhao businessmen in the audience were so frightened that they were sweating all over, and they dared not answer the question. The businessman next to him pointed out: "Shang Zhao is here!"
Zhang Lu walked over and said, "You can tell King Zhao: I will attack him day and night!"
Zhao Shang did not dare to raise his head and lowered his head and said: "Here!"
Zhang Lu walked to the door of the palace, pointed to the seat of the Prince of Chu, and said: "Qin and Chu are the most powerful countries in the world. Qin and Chu are connected, who in the world can control them!" He pointed to the envoys of Qi and said: "Although Qi is weak, With Qin and Chu as allies, who can destroy them?"
The envoy of Qi raised his cup in his seat and said: "The King of Qi wishes to wish the King of Qin longevity! The King of Qi has something to say. In the past, Qi offended the world and all the princes attacked it together. Qi was deeply responsible for the crime and had nothing to pray for. Qin was the leader of the alliance and entered Qi first, but there was no Qi. The land of Qi invaded Qin, but Qi had great virtue. The land of Qi was attacked by Yan, and only two cities remained. Thanks to the virtue of the ancestors, more than seventy cities were recovered. The rest were not recovered, and Qi also aspired to them and did not dare to forget them. "
Huang Xie said: "Qi was attacked by the five kingdoms, but Chu could save it. Qi had never said a word about virtue, but it is not wrong to aspire to the land above the Huaihe River!"
The envoy of Qi said: "Nao Chi came to Qi's aid and brutally killed the previous king, but died at the gate of the country, which made the world laugh. Taking advantage of Qi's danger, he took Huaibei. The people of Qi aspired to it and did not dare to lose it."
Zhang Lu said: "Chu led Huaibei, and Qi returned to its old land, and each of them found his own place. May the two sons not think about the old evil, but think about the meaning of alliance, and build a good relationship forever!" Huang Xie and the envoy of Qi stopped talking.
Prince Chu waited until they returned to his palace, then found an opportunity to ask Huang Xie: "What does Prime Minister Zhang mean today?"
Huang Xie smiled and said: "Only submit to Wei Er! If Wei Qi flees, then Wei will be conquered and the three Jin Dynasties will be destroyed!"
Prince Chu said: "If it is true, what will happen?"
Huang Xie said: "I have been ordered by the king to keep Chu from fighting for ten years. Now it has been seven years! But when Qin Xiangjin is three years old, Chu will be strong, and the prince should return!"
Prince Chu was shocked when he heard this and looked thoughtfully at the harem. The prince's daughter and son were both in the back house, and he could even imagine the satisfaction on the prince's face as she looked at the child in the nanny's arms. In fact, I am not like this! Sometimes he even thought, what if he lived in Qin all his life and gave up the throne to others? The thought was just a passing thought. He is the State of Chu, and the State of Chu is himself. This is a responsibility that he cannot escape from the day he is born, and he will not let it go until his death, because he also wants to give birth to a future king for the State of Chu and train him to grow into a qualified King of Chu! ——And he himself doesn’t know whether he is qualified or not.
In the afternoon, the King of Qin sent his minister to preach. The Queen Mother misses the Prince. The Prince can come to Ganquan Palace to say hello! The prince did not dare to neglect, and immediately informed the princess. The princess and the nanny held the child and rode together in a car. The prince, Huang Xie, Prince Fu and their entourage were guarding the car. The group left Chu Palace and came to Ganquan Palace. .
After receiving the report, the female officials of Ganquan Palace led the prince, princess and children to the harem, where the prince accidentally discovered that Ranghou and Huayang Jun were also there.
The Queen Mother was half-lying on a three-layer straw mat, covered with a thick quilt, and the curtains had been removed. Marquis Rang and Lord Huayang sat at the end of the banquet.
The prince and his daughter held the child in their arms and bowed down at the palace gate. The Queen Mother raised her hand, and Marquis Rang stood up, walked up to him, and said to the Crown Prince and the Princess: "There is no need to be polite, but you can approach the table and ask the Queen Mother to do something."
The two of them held the child in their arms and came to the table. The Queen Mother pointed to the mat, and the two placed the child on the Queen Mother's mat. The Queen Mother had a loving smile on her face and reached out to tease the baby. The Queen Mother said: "Ju'er pays homage to the Queen Mother!" The Queen Mother smiled even more happily. She said in a breathy voice: "Rang Hou, let me know!"
Marquis Rang said: "The princess of Qin has adapted herself to be the prince of Chu. She is capable of fulfilling the virtues of a woman. Marquis Rang will honor her and she is willing to dedicate her land to five hundred households for Princess Tangmu!"
The Queen Mother whispered: "The title of princess will arrive very soon. My son, don't think about it!"
The prince and the princess both bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you Marquis Rang!"
The Queen Mother pointed to Lord Huayang and said, "He also has something to offer!"
When Lord Huayang saw that the Queen Mother was having difficulty speaking, he also explained: "I see that the Princess of Chu is serving Lord An, and she is also able to fulfill the virtues of a woman, so she returns to the five hundred households in Huayang and becomes his wife Tang Mu!"
The Queen Mother also said: "Madam's conferment has been waiting for a long time! The only one I miss is your two daughters. Now that you have the support of the king, I feel at ease!"
Marquis Rang and Lord Huayang said: "The mansions of my ministers and others are about to be prepared, and it is time to return home. I hope the Queen Mother will take good care of her body..."
The Queen Mother said: "My life is about to be over soon. Don't worry about my second son. Can Marquis Rang practice his qi and find him?"
Marquis Rang said: "Sima's subordinate Gai Nie has unique talent, and now he can pass it on!"
The Queen Mother said: "How is Gai Nie?"
Marquis Rang said: "He may be incompetent in other matters, but in terms of martial arts, he is excellent in everything!"
The Queen Mother said: "If Ren Bi, Wu Huo and Meng Shuo were allowed to speak at the same time, they would be heroes for a while."
Marquis Rang picked up the child and said, "In terms of talent, he is not as good as Ju'er!" Everyone laughed. Marquis Rang took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to the prince, saying: "This is the secret to moving Qi. You should be determined to teach it to your son."
When the prince took it and looked at it, it read: "To move Qi, if it is deep, it will be stored, if it is stored, it will be stretched, if it is stretched, it will go down, and if it goes down, it will be firm. If it is firm, it will be sprouted. If it is sprouted, it will grow. If it grows long, it will retreat. If it retreats, it will be heaven." The sky is pounded above; the earth is pounded below. If you go with it, you will live; if you go against it, you will die." The prince bowed down and said, "How deep is the virtue given by Marquis Rang!"
Marquis Rang said: "My life, whether it is about being born or entering, is not valuable enough. What is valuable is only in this ear! I hope you can hide it and not let it out."
Both the prince and the princess said: "Here you go!"
The three old men teased the children for a long time and talked with the two young people about the world. The Queen Mother looked happy, but her breath was obviously weak. Ranghou asked the Queen Mother to breathe out according to the Qi Movement Kung Fu, and the Queen Mother said: "You still haven't done it when you are young, what can you do when you are old!" Hua Yangjun has been in poor health for many years, only Ranghou, although old, is still in good health, and the two young People are envious when they see it. After dinner, we went home.
During the spring plowing season, every country has its own plowing ceremony, which is called "ploughing." Depending on the farming season, it is held on the days of Liqin, February 2, Spring Equinox, Shangsi and other days. In the Qin State, it was decided by the heavenly officials to observe the celestial phenomena. The days were uncertain every year, but they were always the same. On this day, the King of Qin will cultivate the land in his "home field" to indicate the coming of spring plowing.
A few days after the prince paid a visit to the queen mother, it was the day of plowing.
