The Jagged Empire of Daqin

Although he really wanted to scold, Zheng Long couldn't help it!

"That's right, we escaped, my lord, we escaped back this time, but with the great news that Emperor Qin died!" Niu Ba excitedly said to Zheng Long!

Emperor Qin died!

Everyone couldn't help being shocked again!

Although he had already heard the rumors of Emperor Qin's death, he was still shocked and stunned when he heard it from Niu Ba.

Niu Ba came out of the Qin Army's barracks. He said that Emperor Qin died, so it is likely that Emperor Qin died!

Zheng Long was excited and stood up from his seat excitedly, "Niu Ba, what you said is true or false!"

Niu Ba's face was flushed, and he danced excitedly and said: "The death of Emperor Qin is true, absolutely true. A month ago, Emperor Qin took a group of cavalry to go hunting in the deep mountains. Suddenly he heard a roar of a tiger, and Emperor Qin was eager. Get rid of our cavalry and charge straight up!"

"Who would have imagined that there was a large swamp in front of him. Emperor Qin fell into the middle of the swamp because of his speed too fast. King Qin Wu and Qin Shangyang Hou also fell into the swamp, but they did not get stuck on the edge of the swamp and used their strength to climb out. But Qin The emperor is not so lucky, there is nothing to borrow!"

"Emperor Qin struggled desperately, struggled hard, but fell into the swamp, the more he struggled, the faster he sank. Just when King Wu of Qin and Qin Shangyanghou were about to rescue him, poisonous gas came out of the swamp. The poisonous gas was supposed to be serious. The two of us The masters in the peak realm were directly stunned by the poison, Qin Wu Wang and Qin Shangyanghou were trapped in the swamp, and the poison was deeper than us, and they hadn't woken up before we escaped from the Qin army's barracks!"

"When our cavalry woke up, Emperor Qin had already been submerged in the swamp. After three hours, we finally picked him up. By the way, it was the two of us who personally picked him up from the swamp. At that time, Emperor Qin was no longer breathing, and his body was stiff, we also tested his breathing, and we are absolutely sure that Emperor Qin died unexpectedly!"

Niu Ba told what happened a month ago, and his tone and demeanor were as if he had picked up a million-dollar banknote.

Not only Niu Ba was excited, Zheng Long and other generals were also very excited when they heard this!

"Is this serious?" Wang Shoucheng asked seriously.

This matter must be clearly understood, after all, this is not a trivial matter!

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes!" Wu Neng nodded solemnly.

"By the way, after Emperor Qin passed away, his bodyguard Pei Ji ordered the news to be blocked, and in order to prevent the outside world from suspecting, that Hun, Alukgo, was planning to go south to attack Hejie as originally planned, and Pei Ji hurried back to Xianyang. Prepare to have the First Prince of the Qin Empire ascend the throne!" Niu Ba added again.

"How did Emperor Qin's body be disposed of?" Zheng Long asked, frowning.

Wu Neng heard the words, and immediately wrote back: "Back to the lord, this Pei Ji really has two brushes. In order not to make people suspicious, he put the body of Emperor Qin together with King Wu of Qin who was poisoned and comatose and Yang Hou of Qin. And put it in the imperial study, making it like a monarch and his ministers discussing matters!"

"Also, not long after Emperor Qin's body was brought back, Pei Ji ordered people to hang salted fish outside the imperial study room. His subordinates thought that Pei Ji was trying to cover up the rotten smell from Emperor Qin's body!"

Hearing this, a small stone in Zheng Long's heart fell. According to what Wu Neng said, Emperor Qin is really dead!

"Alas" Zheng Long sighed softly, his tone full of pity: "The emperor of the Holy Qin planned the palace change at the age of five, took seven years to regain the imperial power, and ruled the world. Sweep across the northwest desert, destroy Jin at the age of 12, and half of Yan at the age of 13!"

"Under his rule, the Qin Empire has transformed from a third-rate empire into the overlord of today's Kyushu in just a dozen years. His martial arts skills can be called the first emperor in ancient and modern times. To praise him as an emperor through the ages is not the slightest bit of flattery! "

"It's a pity, it's a pity, the emperor of the ages, the Holy Qin Emperor, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the swamp. It really makes people feel a lot of emotion!"

While Zheng Long was happy, he couldn't help being filled with emotion. These words were from his heart, and he sincerely admired Ying Chang!

A strong man is admired by everyone!

"The emperor should be like the holy Qin emperor!" Wang Shoucheng also admired from the bottom of his heart,

Seeing Zheng Long and Wang Shoucheng praise Ying Chang one after another, all the generals in the hall also felt sorry for the fall of an emperor through the ages.

The hall fell silent, as if mourning for Ying Chang, and they were indeed mourning for Ying Chang. No matter how they said it, before they rebelled, the Holy Qin Emperor was their emperor.

After about ten breaths of silence, Wang Shoucheng broke the atmosphere of silence and said to Zheng Long: "My lord, now that Emperor Sheng Qin has passed away, King Wu of Qin and King Qin Shangyang have been poisoned, this is a great opportunity, we must act, otherwise When the Qin Empire establishes a new emperor, the death of the Holy Qin Emperor will not be particularly beneficial to us!"

The emperor of the Holy Qin passed away, the government and the public were in a state of panic, the hearts of the people were unstable, and the morale of the army was turbulent. In addition, the two top generals of Qin Wu Wang Bai Qi and Qin Shangyang Hou Du Changjing were poisoned, which greatly weakened the strength of the Qin army. At this time, It is their best time to fight against Qin.

If the Qin court establishes a new emperor, the Qin Empire will quickly stabilize, and it will not be so easy to think about rebellion at that time. You must know that the generals of the Qin Empire who can fight are not only Qin Wuwang and Qin Shangyanghou!

"Yes, my lord, we escaped from the barracks just to lead an army to attack Qin!" Wu Neng said with a more urgent expression.

Zheng Long frowned slightly, looked at Wu Neng in a neutral tone and asked, "Do you know the distribution of Qin's troops?"

"I know that the main force of the Qin army is all in Wuyang City, Huaibei County and Jiyuan County, and ten soldiers of the Qin Army lead [-] prisoners of war to garrison. Surrender!" Wu Neng said disapprovingly, completely ignoring the troops stationed in the counties.

If the troops stationed everywhere were Qin troops, he wouldn't dare to underestimate them, but the troops stationed here were all prisoners of war. If these prisoners of war had any fighting power, they would surrender as soon as they saw Zheng Long's hundreds of thousands of troops.

"It must not be underestimated. The lion needs to use all its strength to fight the rabbit, not to mention that our enemy is the Qin army. We must come up with a perfect strategy to defend the city. Have you come up with a good strategy now?" Zheng Long looked cautious. Said, did not underestimate others because the troops stationed everywhere are prisoners of war.

Seeing Zheng Long asking about himself, Wang Shoucheng couldn't help but fell into deep thought. After a moment of thought, he composed and replied: "Go back to the lord, my subordinates think that it will take a month at the earliest for Pei Ji to return to Xianyang, and he has to help prepare for his enthronement when he returns to Xianyang." The grand ceremony and the aftermath, this set of procedures continues, at least half a month and more than one or two months, we will count him as half a month!"

"When the new emperor of the Qin Empire is established and the country is stable, Pei Ji will return to Wuyang and transport the body of the Qin Emperor back to Xianyang. It will take one month to transport the body back to Xianyang, and it will take two months to transport the body back. Therefore, We have at least three months to fight against Qin!"

"At this time, we have enough time to contact He Jie of Haozhou County, the first king and second marquis of Meng County, and Yin Li of Yandao, and let them fight against Qin together!"

"You mean to unite princes from all over the world to attack Qin?" Zheng Long frowned, and a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

In this world, he has long regarded it as a meal, and let the princes and princes from all over the world jointly attack Qin, wouldn't he want to share this meal with them?

"That's right!" Wang Shoucheng nodded.

Zheng Long was frowning, and his tone was somewhat doubtful: "Princes from all over the world are masters who eat meat but don't spit out their bones. If they are united, they will definitely make crazy conditions, and now that the Yan Dynasty has been destroyed, they want to stand on their own. It’s not impossible, what should they do if they put forward the condition of establishing themselves as emperors?”

"Is it possible 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 the country, and you don't want to be the ministers and generals of half the country. Which empire thinks highly of us?"

"My lord, a temporary compromise does not mean a permanent compromise. As long as the Qin army is driven out of Yanjing, their life and death are up to us?" The petty profits of the people are in the eyes.

Zheng Long couldn't help hesitating. He admitted that what Wang Shoucheng said was very reasonable, but if he did what Wang Shoucheng did, in the future history books, he would be a capricious emperor. Some emperors would like this kind of emperor, and it would be good if no one scolded him. .

Wang Shoucheng seemed to have seen through Zheng Long's mind, and then quickly replied: "My lord, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as we are strong, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks. Good and evil, good and evil are just ordered by the lord." thing!"

"Ugh!"

"Okay, let's do it according to the intention of defending the city, and send people to contact the princes everywhere, avenge the Yan court, and raise troops against Qin!"

Zheng Long sighed heavily, he had already been persuaded!

"My lord 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 Yingming and Long Live, Zheng Long was in a good mood, and instantly he didn't care about his reputation.

Who cares, the winner is king and the loser is bandit!

As long as I win, it's not up to me to write history!

Next, Zheng Long sent several ministers to secretly go to Meng County and Haozhou County. As for how to get to Yandao, it was natural to pass through the seaport of Haozhou County.

Time passed slowly, and with the passage of time, the news of Emperor Qin's death swept across Yan territory, shocking the surrounding countries. The Zhao Empire was the happiest, and Zhao Didan, regardless of whether it was true or not, on the night he got the news, he directly contacted All the officials drank so much that they were all drunk.

Flash forward a month!

Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Ganquan Palace!

In the front yard of Ganquan Palace, an eight or nine-year-old boy and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl are dancing swords in the courtyard. Both boys and girls are wearing tight black robes. Beautiful and luxurious women are chatting.

The former is Ying Jiang, the eldest prince of the Great Qin Empire. Ying Jiang is already eight years old. Although he is eight years old, his eyes flashed from time to time to tell everyone that he is not an ordinary eight-year-old child; the latter is the eldest princess Ying Bei. The little girl Yingbei has also grown up, she is already 12 years old, and she will be placed in ordinary people's homes. 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!

tread... tread...

In vain at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xi Yang, the head of the military guard of Ganquan Palace, walked into the courtyard in a hurry. My lord, please see me!"

Yang Xiao nodded calmly, "Let Prime Minister Zuo come over, I was the one who asked him to come, Jiang'er is already eight years old, his father said that he would be sent to school at the age of eight, and now he Father is not here, so I can only let this palace handle the matter!"

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of childish laughter, and everyone looked up, only to see Ying Jiang laughing excitedly.

Finally going to study, finally going to study!

Ying Jiang threw away the wooden sword in his hand with great excitement, and then jumped up and down on the spot. Seeing this, Yang Xiao's face darkened. Does this kid just dislike martial arts so much?

"Obey!" Xi Yang replied with a solemn and respectful expression, then got up from the ground, turned and left the courtyard.

After about half a stick of incense, an old man in sixties with gray temples came down to the front yard of Ganquan Palace under the leadership of the setting sun. It's Zhang Feizi, Prime Minister of the Left!

"My minister, Zhang Feizi, I have met the empress!" Zhang Feizi stood in front of Yang Xiao, bowing respectfully and saluting.

"Give me a seat!" Yang Xiao waved his hand with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Empress!"

Satisfied with the setting sun, he immediately moved a chair. After Zhang Feizi thanked him, he sat down slowly. After Zhang Feizi took his seat, Yang Xiao said with a smile: "Lord Prime Minister Zuo, I called you here, why not?" In addition, it is only for the eldest prince Yingjiang to go to school, which was originally decided by His Majesty, but since His Majesty is not here, I can only let my mother, my mother, do it for me!"

After Zhang Feizi heard these words, he understood why the queen called him here, and then he said, "Your Majesty, there are five imperial-level schools in Xianyang, namely the White Tiger School, the Suzaku School, the Qinglong School, the Xuanwu School, and the Zhongdu School!"

"Which one do you like, and then the minister is making arrangements, I wonder if it's okay?"

"I have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and I don't know the five imperial schools outside. Could you bother the Prime Minister to introduce them one by one?" Yang Xiao said in a gentle tone.

"I don't dare to be troublesome. The prince's study is related to the great Qin, the country, and the country. It is the duty of the minister. As for introducing the five imperial schools one by one, there is no need to introduce them. They are all similar, and each has its own strengths. If you really want to Once introduced, I'm afraid it will last three days and three nights!"

"If the Empress is undecided, I can recommend it!" Zhang Feizi didn't want to introduce the five Imperial Schools at all, because he would not be able to finish the introduction in half a day. There is no time to introduce Yang Xiao one by one.

Yang Xiao said: "The school recommended by Prime Minister Zuo must be suitable for the eldest prince, please tell me, Prime Minister Zuo!"

"Zhongdu Academy!" Zhang Feizi said calmly.

"Oh?" Yang Xiao frowned slightly, and said with a slightly hesitant tone: "Although I am not familiar with the outside world, I also know that Zhongdu Academy is not in Xianyang City, it is a little far away from Xianyang City, maybe ten miles away? "

"Originally it was ten miles, but after Xianyang City was expanded, it was only five miles away from Xianyang!" Zhang Feizi smiled lightly.

"That's still ten miles away!" Yang Xiao suddenly felt embarrassed.

Although the expansion of Xianyang City has shortened the distance to Zhongdu Academy, the distance is still ten miles, and it is more than ten miles from the imperial palace, which is far.

Zhang Feizi seemed to have guessed what Yang Xiao was thinking, and immediately raised his hand to make a salute: "Empress, if the eldest prince goes to school, he must not be able to return to the palace, and he must not reveal his identity, otherwise, the teacher will not dare to teach at all. Therefore, Zhongdu Academy is the best choice for the eldest prince, it is far away from the imperial palace, so you can live in the dormitory of Zhongdu Academy!"

"what!"

"Can't go back to the palace!"

Yang Xiao and Tang Hua exclaimed one after another!

The two of them can understand not to expose their identities, but what is the reason why they can't go back to the palace? Jiang'er is still young, only eight years old, and letting him go outside alone at the age of eight, I'm afraid any parent can't bear it!

Seeing the reaction of the queen and the noble concubine, Zhang Feizi smiled coyly and said, "The empress, the noble concubine, if the eldest prince returns to the palace every day, how can he hide his identity?"

When people come home from school, he returns to the palace after school, and he doesn't scare people to death.

"You two ladies, Your Majesty chose to send the prince to the school for the purpose of cultivating the prince's sense of independence. Furthermore, the students in the school have different identities and backgrounds. Some come from wealthy families, some come from officials, and some come from common people. The school seems to be just a school. The place of knowledge 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 human relationships. As long as he knows this, the future prince will become a great treasure and rule the world. He will know how to govern the world in a better way, and he will also be able to distinguish right from wrong. Evil, it will benefit the prince without any harm!" Zhang Feizi continued.

After hearing this, Yang Xiao didn't know what words to refute.

"Your Majesty told you these words?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.

Zhang Feizi smiled lightly, "It's not that His Majesty told you, but what I think!"

"You and Your Majesty are truly one-hearted monarchs and ministers, well, then follow Prime Minister Zuo's wishes, and trouble Prime Minister Zuo to enter the palace to lead people tomorrow morning!" Yang Xiao said with a rather helpless expression.

"No need, let's go now!" Ying Jiang suddenly ran to Zhang Feizi and said, looking impatient.

After staying in the palace for eight full years, Ying Jiang couldn't stay any longer. Now that he has the opportunity to go out of the palace, he doesn't have to go back to the palace. Too long.

"No, I have to go tomorrow. Tonight, the queen mother will call all the concubines in the harem and your three younger brothers. Let's all have a meal together and see you off!" Yang Xiao said with a solemn expression, staring at Ying Jiang with a more stern tone.

"No, I'm going now. If I'm not allowed to go today, I won't study well in school. I play every day, and I still fight. Queen Mother, you can do it yourself!" Ying Jiang put his hands on his hips, confident He looked at Yang Xiao and said.

It's too dragging!

"You dare to threaten the queen, and you really think that you will fail to study for the queen!"

Yang Xiao was almost pissed off, if it wasn't for Zhang Feizi, she might have hit someone with the scabbard.

"Originally, I should have entered the school in the first month of this year, but it was delayed because my father wanted to take the royal conquest, and it was delayed until now. Anyway, I have to go today. Go!" Ying Jiang's attitude was firm, with a tone that could not be refuted!

The majesty of an emperor is innate!

"You...you... don't you want to stay longer?" Yang Xiao's tone softened, his eyes were reddish and tears were shining, and his voice was pleading.

The mother is worried about the son traveling thousands of miles. Although Ying Jiang will not go far, he will not be able to return to the palace in a short time. Since Ying Jiang was born, mother and son have been inseparable and stay together every day. Now they will be separated for a period of time. Yang Xiao is really sad .

Even every time she thinks that Ying Jiang is going to study in the palace, she will complain about Ying Chang from time to time.

Ying Jiang saw that Yang Xiao's eyes turned red, and he couldn't bear it, but his determination to leave the palace never let go. Ying Jiang turned around, turned his back to Yang Xiao and said, "Mother, please, let me go." I'm leaving the palace!"

Two glistening tears streaked across Yang Xiao's fair cheeks, and he choked with reluctance and said, "You...go..."

At the last moment, Yang Xiao chose to let go.

And Yang Xiao said the three words you go, tears couldn't stop crying, Tang Hua next to him hurriedly comforted, Ying Bei also walked to Yang Xiao's side, and began to comfort Yang Xiao, at this time, Ying Jiang became cold-blooded He got up relentlessly, and went out of the courtyard without looking back.

"Your Majesty, take care of yourself, Empress!" Zhang Feizi hurriedly saluted and retired, and quickly followed Ying Jiang.

"Woooo!"

"My Jiang'er!"

"Queen, there is also Bei'er, Bei'er will always be with you!"
