"Mr. Changping rebelled against Qin!"
"how come?"
"Brother, you don't know that Mr. Changping didn't come to the meeting yesterday. Our king also said that Mr. Changping was ill and couldn't get up, so he went to the house to greet him personally. Who knew that only after asking this question did he know that he had left the court the day before yesterday. The opportunity ran away, and I heard that he went back to be the King of Chu."
"Bah! Our Qin State didn't treat him well enough? He was so ungrateful. Then... Your Majesty didn't send anyone to chase him?"
"I gave chase. I sent many people to chase him along the way, but the guy seemed to have disappeared from the world. There was no trace of him."
"Then our queen..."
Government Palace.
"Your Majesty, the queen was premature and gave birth to a little heir. The young master is safe, but the queen... I'm afraid... I'm afraid something is bad..." As soon as the court meeting ended, Zhao Zheng came to report in a panic.
Zhao Zheng frowned, stared over with a stern look, grabbed the man's collar, and asked angrily: "Why are you just talking about such a big thing now?"
"The... Your Majesty is... at the court meeting... The court meeting... I dare not..." The eunuch had never seen him so angry. He was so frightened that he did not dare to express his anger, but he still hesitated to speak.
The eunuch didn't dare to say why this was the case, but Zhao Zheng understood it as soon as he thought about it. Today's court meeting is dealing with Lord Changping's affairs, so something unexpected happened to the queen and she gave birth prematurely. No one was sure what he was thinking about the queen, so no one dared to interrupt the court meeting in advance and come in to inform.
Zhao Zheng didn't want to pay attention to this anymore, left the eunuch and walked back quickly. Although he didn't care about Le Mi that much, after all, he knew that he couldn't help her over the years, and now she was risking her life to give birth to a royal heir for him, so he didn't want her to just go like this.
When she was pregnant with the king's heir, the doctor said: "If you want to give birth to the child, you may suffer." At that time, after hearing this, he said bluntly: Then there will be no birth. But she shook her head and said firmly: This child must be born. If he found someone to make her drink medicine, she would force him to die. Unable to defeat her, Zhao Zheng had no choice but to compromise and let her give birth to the child.
At that time, he promised her: I will be by your side then. Who would have thought that something like this would happen at this time, and that the palace people would dare to neglect her so much. If Zhao Zhengruo said that he felt no regrets, he was completely deceiving himself. Before entering the palace, Zhao Zheng smelled a strong smell of blood.
Wang Si was being held by an old palace maid. When he saw Zhao Zheng coming over, he was about to give him a hug, but he didn't even look at it and walked straight in. "Are you sure you reported it to the king? Why haven't you come yet?" Shen Yu's anxious voice came from inside. Zhao Zheng heard this and felt unhappy. Regardless of the attendant's obstruction, he strode around the screen and saw Le Mi lying lifelessly on the bed. His heart sank: "Where is the attendant?"
Shen Yu got up and left a message, "Your Majesty, the doctors said that the queen has been rescued," and then wisely withdrew. After hearing this, Zhao Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Le Mi and said warmly: "You can take care of yourself in peace, I will be here with you." At this time, Le Mi struggled hard, opened his mouth and said something, although Zhao Zheng I couldn't tell the truth, but judging from the meaning, I guessed that she wanted to see the child.
"Come here, bring the child over." As soon as he finished speaking, the old palace maid happily brought the child to him and showed him a flattering look. He glanced coldly, and the palace maid realized that the queen's body was not strong yet. Well, he got carried away just because he had the opportunity to hug Wang Si, and the smile immediately froze on his face.
Zhao Zheng ordered in a deep voice: "Give the child to me, you go out." The old palace maid handed the child over. Seeing that his posture was wrong, she said bravely: "You are brave, your Majesty, if you hug me like this... you will hurt the young master. ." Fortunately, Zhao Zheng not only didn't look impatient at all, but also softened his tone and said, "You tell me what to do."
When Zhao Zheng took over the child completely, he couldn't help but look at it carefully. But this red and wrinkled look was really ugly, he thought to himself, even he didn't know, the expression on his face was already so soft that even Le Mi felt dazzled by it. Then he showed the child to Le Mi, who opened her mouth again. He guessed that he wanted to give her a name, so he lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you like to sing that song in the past? Let's call it Fu Su."
Le Mi nodded after hearing this, but when she remembered something, her expression suddenly became a little sad: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... can you let your father go?" Zhao Zheng lowered his eyes and stared at the baby. He didn't say anything for a while, and then said after a long time: "He is him and you are you. From now on, you can live a good life in Qin. I will issue an edict to make this child the prince today. You can rest assured." Biting her lip, Le Mi was afraid that she would be touched if she begged again. He turned back, his eyes darkened, and finally said no more.
On the second day after Lord Changping escaped, the King of Qin was delighted with the birth of his heir. He also conferred the title of Crown Prince on the same day and treated the Queen as he always was. The news spread throughout the world, and many people praised him as a good king who missed old friendships. However, when the news reached the ears of the real owner, he felt a little helpless and immediately laughed at himself: I just felt guilty, but in the end I was still selfish.
As soon as Lord Changping left, Wang Wan, the prime minister of the left, went a step further and became the prime minister of the right. Feng Quji was promoted to the prime minister of the left [1], and the structure of the court was adjusted again. Fortunately, both of them were old ministers of the Qin State. Although things were done smoothly and no big moves were made, it was much more reassuring for Zhao Zheng than when Xiong Qi was here and occasionally hindered the Qin State.
Also talking about Xiong Qi, he fled back to the Chu State, and while the King of Chu was dying, he fought fiercely with the young master. He originally thought that his side was sure of victory, but unexpectedly he killed the Qin State in the middle, and the King of Qin was in front of the world. In the face of others, it was announced that the State of Qin was willing to do everything it could to help Prince Han ascend the throne. Lord Changping is still in the dark. He doesn't know that both his side and Gongzi Han's side are completely controlled by the State of Qin.
After the death of the King of Chu, the two parties mobilized the whole country to attack and fight, causing the people of Chu to live in dire straits. This catastrophe finally ended a month later when Lord Changping accidentally died under the rebel army. When Prince Han came to the throne, in order to repay Qin for helping him, he set aside ten cities and gave them to Qin, and the two countries were reconciled.
On the Qin side, the situation of Lord Changping was over, the obstacles in the court were completely eliminated, and the unification of the world was gradually put on the agenda. Recently, all the countries have noticed the major movements of the Qin State. The three armies led by the general Wang Jian, the second general Huanjue, and the last general Yang Duanhe attacked Wei State's Yeyi. Although they did not capture it at that time, they still captured nine Wei State's cities. Later, they divided their troops and attacked Zhao Guolan. He and Yang stayed in Yeyi all the way, and finally won a great victory.
The six kingdoms all knew that the Qin State's sending troops this time was just to ask for directions, and a greater threat was yet to come. King Zhao was horrified when he lost Yan Yu and Yang. Seeing that no good general in the court was willing to lead the troops to regain the lost territory, he began to blame his father for forcing Lian Po to death, and immediately recalled Li Mu who had been sent to Dai. .
"What...what does Prime Minister Li think of this matter?" In order to please Li Mu, Zhao Wangqian made him the Prime Minister of the State of Zhao. Guo Kai saw that he had spent so much effort to help Zhao Qian ascend to the throne in the past year, but the position of Prime Minister he finally got was so useless. , I felt inexplicably angry in my heart, and I knelt down and didn't even say a word.
Thinking of the veteran general Lian Po who died unjustly, Li Mu felt inexplicably chilled. Thinking of the ten words that the old general sent to someone before his death, he felt even more heartbroken. The blood-stained silk letter was currently in Li Mu's arms, writing: General Zhao Weiyu's ears are cherished by everyone. Thinking of this, he puffed up his sleeves and said solemnly: "I am willing to lead the troops to retreat from the enemy."
Qutai Palace of Qin State.
"I heard that Li Mu is leading the army this time. Do you think our Qin State has a chance of winning?" Zhao Zheng read the report and asked while several ministers were there. Since Lieutenant Liao was the most experienced among them, I asked him first.
Wei Liao was not a sloppy person, so he immediately said solemnly: "I can honestly say that Huan Jue's combat experience is not as good as that of General Wang. If he faces Li Mu, I'm afraid he will do something bad..."
"You old man, how can you exaggerate other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige? Your Majesty, I have seen General Huan before, and he is definitely not as bad as you said." Wang Wan felt a little unconvinced when Wei Liao said this. After all, Wei Liao had only been in Qin for a few years. Although the Qin army's combat power doubled in his hands, he still felt that this time he not only attacked Zhao but also his mother country, and he felt a little bit sad. , then it is said that Qin will be defeated.
"Old Prime Minister, Li Si thinks that the officer's words are pertinent." Logically speaking, Li Si is now Wang Wan's official, so he should speak to Wang Wan, but he understands Wang Wan's temper and knows that he will not be able to please him if he tries to please him. Good, but if you go against him, as long as you are reasonable and well-founded, you will gain his respect, so now you have the courage to speak truthfully.
The crowd argued for several more times, and Zhao Zheng waved his hands in a funny manner and said, "Come on, let's stop arguing. You guys are all bad-tempered, so I shouldn't ask questions. It's too late to withdraw or send reinforcements right now." . Old Prime Minister Wang started to prepare according to the possibility of defeat. It is always good to be prepared."
Wang Wan thought it was right, folded her hands and agreed. Then Zhao Zheng turned his eyes to Zhao Gao, changed the topic and asked: "While everyone is here today, the teacher will take out the salt introduction method and explain it to everyone."
I heard that today's summons was about the salt affairs. Everyone was still surprised. It is a headache for all countries. There has been no practical solution for so many years. Kings in the past have come to the throne. No one has thought of trying to change it, but no matter how hard it is, , in the end, can’t we just continue the method of the previous king?
In total, Zhao Gao is the youngest among them. However, in recent discussions, Zhao Zheng always wanted to summon Zhao Gao, who was the guest of honor. At first, everyone felt they were not used to it, but then they gradually got used to it when they saw that Zhao Gao was just listening most of the time, and when he occasionally spoke, his words would definitely penetrate into their bones.
And although he wasn't used to it, no one here treated him lightly from the beginning. It’s not because Zhao Zheng exerts pressure for personal gain. Zhao Zheng was afraid of causing trouble to Zhao Gao and never helped him. But since they knew that Chang Pingjun's matter was Zhao Gao's idea, many people vaguely agreed with him.
Zhao Gao and Zhao Zheng looked at each other, bowed slightly and said "Promise", then stood up again and said unhurriedly: "Zhao Gao is very humble. Please don't blame me if your words are wrong later."
