The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"It's very pleasant to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Chang Xiang, so let's stop here first. I'm leaving first, and Chang Xiang please take care of yourself!" Zhang Feizi got up from the bed and bowed to Chang Zifei. Fei sat on the head of the bed and fell into deep thought, with a rather heavy expression.

Zhang Feizi left quickly, and Chang Zifei didn't stay long. After resting for a while, he also got up from the bed and rushed to the court to deal with political affairs. Although many officials dissuaded him, Chang Zifei still persisted in reviewing the memorial.

Not only did Chang Zifei review the memorials, but he also participated in the heavy work. He also ordered not to spread the news of his coughing up blood, and even strictly forbade Ying Chang to be informed. This move greatly moved the officials in Prime Minister You's mansion, and they stopped complaining. There was a lot of pressure, and I started to work hard.

This is the role of taking the lead, setting a spiritual example for people to follow.

Time passed slowly, day by day, and in the next long period of time, Chang Zifei's condition became more and more serious. The whole city was disturbed, and the empress was alarmed.

Empress Yang Xiao learned of this, and immediately sent the top imperial doctor in the palace to the Chang Mansion to treat Chang Zifei's illness. At the same time, she also issued the first Queen's order in her life, ordering Chang Zifei not to leave the mansion or deal with political affairs. , take good care of your illness at home, everything will be discussed when His Majesty comes back.

Chang Zifei was seriously ill, and the right prime minister's mansion had no leader. Zhang Feizi, who was also the minister of state supervision, was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the empress to temporarily replace Chang Zifei in handling the political affairs of the right prime minister's mansion...

Chapter 721 The Great Qin Dynasty!

May 25th, the [-]th year of Shengqin, Chenshi!

Thirty miles east of Xianyang City!

On the vast state road leading to Xianyang City, a black-armored army is slowly approaching Xianyang City. The black-armored army lined up on the state road in a long queue, walking in an orderly manner. The scene can be described as grand and majestic !

This black-armored army is exactly the division that defeated Yan. It took more than two months and ran for more than [-] miles, and finally entered the boundary of Xianyang!

"Drive! Drive!"

Suddenly at this time, an official rode a war horse from the west towards the army. The official was about fifty years old. Senior member of the second grade.

Seeing the senior officers of the second rank coming, the generals of the Qin army in the front row were quite puzzled. What is the situation? There is still at least [-] miles away from Xianyang. Come on, and here comes one.

"Where is Your Majesty?" The second-rank officer shouted before approaching the soldiers of the Qin army in the front row.

"Who is coming!"

For the sake of safety, the soldiers in the front row did not hesitate to stop the visitor. After the visitor was stopped, he immediately took out his official seal and shouted anxiously: "This official is Yang Ze, Minister of the Ministry of War. Please see Your Majesty!"

That's right, this second-rank officer is none other than Minister of War Yang Ze!

"It turned out to be Master Yang, sorry for your disrespect!"

"His Majesty is in the army!"

The soldiers in the front row quickly put away their weapons, saluted Yang Ze, and let Yang Ze go at the same time. Yang Ze ignored the soldiers in the front row and continued to run along the roadside. After half a stick of incense, Yang Ze Ze finally came to the position of the Chinese army.

As soon as he came to the position of the central army, Yang Ze saw Ying Chang surrounded by Bai Qi, Du Changjing, Zhao Hua, and Pei Ji. At this time, Ying Chang also saw Yang Ze, and saw Yang Ze running alone. Ying Chang couldn't help asking in doubt: "Yang Aiqing, why are you here?"

Yang Ze hurriedly jumped off his horse, knelt down on his knees and bowed, and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister You is seriously ill, and he is almost unable to hold on now. Please move to Changfu quickly, and see Prime Minister You for the last time." , put an end to the obsession of Prime Minister You!"

"What did you say!" Ying Chang was shocked!

Is Chang Zifei seriously ill?when did it happen?why i don't know

"Aqi, General Du, General Zhao, the three of you immediately lead the army back to the capital camp, Pei Ji, let the imperial guards leave the marching brigade immediately, and follow me into the city as quickly as possible!" Although Ying Chang wondered why Chang Zifei was seriously ill So suddenly, but there was no time for him to think about it.

"Obey!" Du Changjing and others hurriedly responded!

Immediately, Pei Ji drew the [-] imperial guards out of the marching brigade, and then rode horses along the roadside with Ying Chang, rushing back to Xianyang with all their strength.

After an hour, Ying Chang finally led the [-] imperial guards to the east gate of Xianyang. The east gate was already overcrowded, all of them were people who had received the news of the triumphant return of the Qin army, and wanted to welcome the triumphant army at the gate.

"Spread out, disperse!"

"Your Majesty is in a hurry, don't block the way!"

The officers and soldiers of Xianyang City, who greeted them well in advance, immediately dispersed the people. The people saw that the matter was urgent, and they all took the initiative to retreat to one side, giving way in the middle. Yingchang Peiji Yangze and other [-] imperial guards rushed into Xianyang City non-stop and entered Xianyang City Afterwards, headed directly towards Dongcheng District.

Dongcheng District, Changfu!

"Shut up!"

When he came to the gate of Chang Mansion, Ying Chang tightened the reins and forced the horse to stop. The horse was in pain and couldn't help howling, but it also achieved the purpose of stopping. As soon as the horse stopped, the servants of Chang Mansion immediately came to hold Horse, Ying Chang jumped off his horse and brought Pei Ji and Yang Ze into the Chang Mansion.

"His Majesty!"

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

A large number of officials came to Chang's Mansion a long time ago. Seeing Ying Chang walking into Chang's Mansion, they all saluted Ying Chang. Ying Chang ignored it completely and went straight to Chang's Mansion Intermediate Court. After some twists and turns, he finally came to Chang Zifei's place. Living master bedroom.

In the master bedroom, apart from Yang Ze, the six ministers, Du Yushi, and Prime Minister Zuo were already among them. Chang Zifei was lying on the bed. Chang Zifei's whole appearance had changed now. Thin, and now with the deterioration of the disease, only skin and bones are left, and the skin is untouched, no different from a dead person.

"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

"His Majesty!"

As soon as Ying Chang walked into the bedroom, all the ministers saluted Ying Chang one after another. Ying Chang completely ignored them and walked to the bed with a rather anxious expression. Seeing Chang Zifei lying on the bed so weakly, Ying Chang's heart sank. , There was a burst of pain in my chest.

Chang Zifei, who was lying on the bed, heard the movement, and immediately opened his eyes with all his strength, and called softly: "Your Majesty..."

Chang Zifei was very weak, and his voice was like a mosquito buzzing, and he was weak. If Ying Chang was not a strong person in the perfection state, he would have to put his ear close to Chang Zifei's mouth to hear clearly.

Ying Chang stretched out his hand to grab Chang Zifei's withered hand, and replied softly with a slightly worried expression: "I am here, I am back."

"Your Majesty, my minister... I am running out of time, and it is difficult to accompany... accompany Your Majesty to go back..."

"Don't talk about Aiqing, take a good rest, I will be here with you, if you have anything to say, tell me when your body recovers!" Ying Chang said.

Chang Zifei shook his head lightly, and replied in an extremely weak voice: "I...I have nothing to say. I can see Your Majesty. I am already...satisfied. I hope that in the days when I am not here, Your Majesty Be able to walk cautiously...”

Chang Zifei lowered his head, and the hand that Ying Chang held in his palm was also powerless to hang down.

Chang Zifei, the Right Prime Minister of the Great Qin Empire!Died!

"father!"

Chang Qing wailed and plopped!He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, he lost the person he loved and admired the most in his life.

The six ministers, Zhang Feizi, and Pei Ji were silent, their eyes turned rosy, and they all felt a burst of grief in their hearts.

Ying Chang felt that the sadness came from his heart, and he was in a trance for a while. Pei Ji hurriedly supported Ying Chang, and asked with a worried expression: "Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Ying Chang waved his hand, got rid of Pei Ji's support, turned to face Zhang Feizi and other six ministers, and asked loudly with a slightly sad expression: "Chang Aiqing's serious illness, why did you tell me now, when you all died before?" Yet!"

Kong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, bowed down and replied sadly: "Returning to Your Majesty, it is the Prime Minister who forbids us to tell Your Majesty. The reason for the Prime Minister is that Your Majesty has been exhausted from fighting and expanding the territory for the Great Qin. Now To stop the war without hesitation, His Majesty should be allowed to rest, and His Majesty should not be troubled by his ministers, and Chang Xiang also said that ministers are to help His Majesty share his worries, not to make His Majesty worry about his ministers."

Chapter 722 Conferring First Class Marquis of Anguo!

Ying Chang raised his head slightly, with tears in the corners of his eyes, trying not to let the tears flow down. After a while, Ying Chang lowered his head and walked out of the room unsteadily. When he reached the door, Ying Chang turned his back to the door. Everyone said: "Pass down my decree, posthumously confer the right prime minister, Chang Zifei, first-class An Guohou, and enjoy the incense of the Daqin Gong Temple forever, hold the funeral according to the national ceremony standard, and honor the burial according to the princely standard!"

"The minister waits to obey the order!" All the ministers bowed down and responded in unison.

Ying Chang left Chang Mansion with strides and returned towards the imperial palace. After returning to the imperial palace, Ying Chang hid in Xianyang Palace and did not come out. Not to mention, Pei Ji, the military guard of Xianyang Palace, didn't dare to say a word, so he could only stay outside obediently, waiting for Ying Chang to recover from Chang Zifei's death.

Chang Zifei's death has dealt a heavy blow to Ying Chang. After all, this is not a new minister who has followed him halfway. This is an old minister who has followed him from the beginning. Emperor Qin Heng and his Holy Qin Emperor served.

Ying Chang really wanted to cry, and he wanted to hold Chang Zifei's body and cry bitterly, but he couldn't, he was the emperor, even though he was in great grief and lost his mind, he couldn't lose his composure in front of others, the word emperor, It is a shackle that prevents him from doing things that ordinary people cannot do.

He can only hide in the deep palace alone and weep. His sadness can only be seen by himself, and no one else is allowed to see it.

Xianyang City!

"Chang Xiang died of illness!"

"What, when did this happen?"

"just now!"

"No wonder His Majesty is so anxious, it turned out that Chang Xiang died of illness!"

"I heard that Chang Xiang was seriously ill as early as August, but in order not to worry His Majesty at the front line, Chang Xiang concealed the matter and never asked a doctor to treat him. It was not until two months ago that his condition worsened and he was released. It was discovered that after being discovered, Chang Xiang still governed the country with a seriously ill body, and finally died of illness in less than two months!"

"Chang Xiangzhen is my number one virtuous official in Great Qin!"

"It is precisely because of Chang Xiang, a minister like Chang Xiang, that Daqin can become the overlord of Kyushu in just a dozen years. We and the younger generations should follow Chang Xiang as an example and strive to be the next Chang Xiang, or even surpass Chang Xiang! "

"There are many good officials who are similar to Chang Xiang in various parts of Daqin, and there are thousands of Changxiang. It is because of them that our people in Daqin can live and work in peace and contentment, without any worries!"

"The old man has decided that from now on, the old man's house will not only enshrine His Majesty and King Wu, but also Lord Changxiang. I hope that Lord Changxiang is the spirit in heaven, and bless my great Qin forever!"

"From ancient times to modern times, there are countless prime ministers and countless famous ministers, but there are only a handful of prime ministers like Chang Xiang. Such a person is worthy of worship by the Qin people in the world!"

"When he was in charge of politics, Chang Xiang showed these six characters to the fullest. He is a role model for us officials and students. In the future, I will definitely become a person like Chang Xiang. Maybe I will not become a prime minister, but I will Just like usual, die for the country, and die well!"

"As long as you have this kind of heart, you will become a great weapon!"

The news of Chang Zifei's death, the Prime Minister of the Right, quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city, causing the people in the city to mourn. They also admire him, and they all aspire to become good officials like Chang Zifei.

Starting today, Chang Zifei's name will be passed down forever, and future generations will all follow Chang Zifei's example, and those officials, big and small, who often complain about the heavy political affairs, are ashamed to say the word tired and bitter.

Time passed slowly, day by day, and with the passage of time, news of the death of Chang Zifei, the right prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty, quickly spread across the country, and even spread to neighboring countries outside the country, whether it was the Qin people or the people of other countries , There is nothing to say about Chang Zifei's character. Whenever anyone mentions Chang Zifei, others will nod in admiration, expressing their admiration without any concealment.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites set Chang Zifei's funeral on May [-]th and chose a suitable date for burial. Some people may say that Chang Zifei died of illness on May [-]th and was buried every two weeks. will stink?

For an auspicious day, let the body stink, is it really good?

If someone thinks this way, then they must be wrong. The Ministry of Rites has officials who specialize in handling corpses. These officials use superb embalming techniques and will never let Chang Zifei's corpse rot before it is buried. does not exist.

And it’s not just to choose an auspicious day to bury every half a month. The main reason for burying every half month is that the corpse itself needs to be embalmed. It is necessary to ensure that the corpse will not rot for a hundred years or even a thousand years, but embalming cannot be done in a day or two. Yes, the embalming agent needs to be changed every once in a while to achieve the purpose of the embalming agent penetrating into the flesh and blood of the corpse. The process of changing the embalming agent will take ten days.

In addition, a mausoleum will be built.

Since Yingchang ordered the Ministry of Rites to bury the king according to the specifications of the princes, it was necessary to build a king's tomb. In order to build this king's tomb, the Ministry of Industry assembled [-] laborers in one day, and these [-] laborers participated in the construction voluntarily. Take a penny from the court, and only eat the meal of the court.

These laborers are people who admire Chang Zifei and are willing to build Chang Zifei's princely tomb for free.

May 25th!

The right prime minister's mansion, court hall, and main hall!

In the main hall, the Prime Minister of the Left, Zhang Feizi, was at the top and was seriously reviewing the memorial. According to common sense, although Zhang Feizi took over the political affairs in Chang Zifei's hands, he should not handle political affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

The reason is not complicated. The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion did not have six halls for soldiers, rites, workers, households, criminals, and officials, so it could only handle political affairs in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Now Zhang Feizi is very busy, no less busy than Chang Zifei was when he was alive. Without him, although Ying Chang came back, he ignored the political affairs and had to let him, the left prime minister, do it for him. However, Zhang Feizi had long been accustomed to this busy political affairs, after all When he was prime minister in the Yan Empire, he had more political affairs than here, and he was in charge of the empire, big or small.

step..step..

There was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall, Zhang Feizi looked up slightly, and saw an official from the Ministry of Rites walking unhurriedly, after walking three steps in front of the desk, he bent down and made a report: "Report to the left Your Majesty Prime Minister, the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty have arrived at the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites should have arranged for the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty to meet His Majesty, but His Majesty stayed alone in Xianyang Palace and ignored them, so in desperation, the officials had no choice but to come here and ask Prime Minister Zuo!"

PS: "Please order in full, order in full, order in full, for the sake of the author's hard work, order in full, brothers."

Chapter 723 Southern Wei and Northern Wei!

Due to the continuous civil wars in the Great Wei Empire, it has been divided into the Southern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Southern Wei Dynasty is the Wei court, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is the princeling.

Zhang Feizi put down the brush in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Let the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty come to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, and let the prime minister receive it on behalf of His Majesty!"

"Obey!" The official of the Ministry of Rites responded with a respectful expression, and then said immediately: "My lord, Prime Minister Zuo, I have one more thing to do. This time, in addition to the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty entering Qin, the envoys of Zhao have also entered Qin. The minister is in the guild hall of the Ministry of Rituals, why don't you meet with Prime Minister Zuo?"

Now the Ministry of Rites is busy preparing for three funerals, one is for Qin envoy Zhang Wen, the other is Huaiyuan General Qian Guangxiao, and the third is Right Prime Minister Chang Zifei. Chen and Zhao envoys.

The Ministry of Rites hopes that Zhang Feizi can quickly get rid of the envoys of the two countries, so that the Ministry of Rites can concentrate on organizing the three funerals.

"It's really troublesome!" Zhang Feizi couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, thinking, this group of people really pick their time to come, whether it's early or late, but they come at this time, and they didn't finish the previous thing, and the next thing Here we go.

"Let them all come here!" Zhang Feizi looked at the officials of the Ministry of Rites solemnly and said.

"Obey!" The official of the Ministry of Rites made a formal farewell ceremony, then turned around and left the main hall. After about a stick of incense, the official of the Ministry of Rites turned back, but this time, he brought two people wearing different official uniforms. The middle-aged man came.

One of them was wearing a blue official uniform, and the other was wearing an off-white official uniform.

"Tian Jixian, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, pays homage to the Prime Minister Zuo of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

"Zhao Envoy Zhong He, pay homage to Great Qin Prime Minister Zuo!"

Tian Jixian, the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and Zhong He, the envoy of Zhao, successively saluted Zhang Feizi, who was above the top of the list. These two envoys were of the same age, equal in stature, and both of them belonged to the ordinary category of appearance, but they were ordinary in appearance. On behalf of themselves mediocre.

Tian Jixian, Tang Shao's confidant, Tang Shao is the No. 1 prime minister in the world, how could it be ordinary for him to keep his confidant by his side, and Zhong He, although the name Zhong He is not well known, but in the Ministry of Rites of Dazhao A man of the hour with an extremely eloquent mouth.

"You two don't need to be too polite. I think you both know that my Daqin has been in trouble recently, and the ministries are constantly busy, so I would like to ask you two to make a long story short. Who will come first?" Zhang Feizi looked at the two envoys calmly and said .

"Emissary Wei came from afar, let him go first!" Zhong He saluted with a calm smile on his face.

Tian Ji heard the words first, and immediately responded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

"Haha, no need to thank you!" Zhong He smiled and gave him a good impression.

Tian Jixian nodded his thanks again, and then turned to Zhang Feizi and replied: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo, I have come here to ask for help. The Prime Minister died in grief, and I can't bear to disturb you, so I can only trouble Mr. Zuo Prime Minister!"
