[Qin] Qin Shi

After the demise of the Five Kingdoms, the Qi State finally felt the threat from the Qin State in the midst of peace and prosperity.

The king of Qi hurriedly sought advice from his ministers, and urgently dispatched the whole country's army to face the enemy to the west. However, such a scene of mending the situation after a dead sheep is useless to Qin.

As early as Qin State wanted to destroy Chu, Yingzheng had already taken the lead in ordering people to gather troops on the Qin-Qi border because he was worried that Qi State would steal the tower from behind during the Great Qin Annihilation Campaign.But now most of the world is in Qin Dynasty.

In addition to the original 20 Qin troops who had been stationed in the east of Qin for a long time, the army returning from the conquest of Chu has also been returned, pointing the blade that has not been wiped clean in the hands of the unsuspecting Qi State—just waiting for the arrival of the lord With the order, all the land of Qilu can be returned to Daqin.

The envoy of Qi arrived in Xianyang under such circumstances, and it was no wonder that Ying Zheng didn't want to see him. It was already a foregone conclusion, so what's the point of wasting his time.

With nowhere to ask for help, the envoy of Qi, who had been wandering outside Xianyang Palace for many days, suddenly remembered that although his name had not been rectified, but his name had been changed, the eldest son of Qin, who came from many Confucian scholars, was also Fusu of the prince.

The eldest son's mother was the little princess of the former king, and she was married before King Qin Yingzheng was crowned and took power. He won't be favored by Ying Zheng, and give birth to the eldest son Fusu among so many women.

Although her life was too thin, and she passed away before giving birth to her eldest son Fusu, but seeing the attitude of King Qin towards Fusu for so many years, Qi Shi believes that this friendship still exists.

What's more, according to this calculation, Prince Qin Fusu and the current King Qi are still uncles and nephews.

There is no reason why one's own family beats one's own family, isn't it?

Thinking in this way, the envoy of Qi tried to bribe the king several times after he wanted to meet the king of Qin but was rejected, and finally opened the door of the Qin palace—but went to the palace of the eldest son Fusu instead of facing the king of Qin directly.

He was eager to save Qi Zhi, but he didn't see the gloating smile on the other's face, the indifference or pity in his eyes after he stuffed the bribe money into the hands of the court official and the servant and turned around.

Hearing that an envoy from the State of Qi wanted to see him, Fusu's crooked posture suddenly became straight: "Why do you want to see Gu?" He turned his head and asked the man beside him, "The envoy of Qi is going to see my father. Wang's beauty is also more reasonable than seeing Gu? Besides, at this time, why see Gu?"

He scratched his head, but when he remembered his hairstyle, he quickly let go of his hand: "Can I see you?" He straightened the clothes that had been crumpled by himself before, and complained in a low voice.

"If your Highness doesn't want to see him, just refuse." The young man who looked a few years older than Fusu stood beside Fusu with a calm expression, "Your Highness is the eldest son of Daqin, so there is still some waywardness." He said with a smile on his face, "But you don't really want to see each other, do you?"

"Father Zhong let him into the palace. If he said it wasn't the father's intention, Su wouldn't believe it." After Fu Su raised his hand to make sure that he was neatly dressed, his face wrinkled into a ball, and his expression was full of reluctance, "Since it is father What the king means is that even if he doesn't want to see him, his father will always have a way for Fusu to see him, sooner or later, let's say today."

The young man in green shirt standing beside Fusu laughed, walked up to him from behind Fusu, turned around and saluted Fusu: "Then I'll go and invite people in, you wait a moment." Looking at Fusu After nodding to him, he turned around and went out to meet Qi Shi.

As the eldest son of Daqin, Fusu was also the one who was favored by Yingzheng's side, so his food, clothing, housing and transportation were naturally second only to Yingzheng.Therefore, after the envoy of Qi saw the decoration and scale of Fusu's courtyard, he had an idea of ​​the status of the eldest son of Qin, whose mother was a princess of Qi, in King Qin's heart.

He also gained two more points in his confidence in the success of this trip, and this kind of thinking reached its peak when he saw Fusu.

Fusu's appearance followed his mother's more, only his eyes inherited Yingzheng's appearance.But in the end, the living environment was different when he was a child. Compared with Yingzheng's calm self-importance and terrifying appearance when he wasn't smiling, Fusu's aura around him made people feel comfortable and gentle. Even when he spoke, he seemed to be negotiating with others. , rather than an order from above.

"Foreign minister, I have met you, Young Master." The envoy of Qi bowed to Fusu neatly, but before he finished his salute, he was held back by Fusu.

Fusu was not tall, but he moved very fast. He appeared in front of the envoy Qi almost as soon as he bowed his waist: "Sir, get up first." He opened a certain distance from the envoy Qi. The gap made him still look up, "But what's the matter with Mrs. Qi?"

Yingzheng did not confer the title of queen. All the beauties from the seven kingdoms were known as wives in his palace.The Mrs. Qi Fusu mentioned was a beauty sent by Qi State after his biological mother died: "If Auntie has something to do, Fusu will do his best."

When the envoy of Qi heard that Fusu mentioned another princess in Qi Yu's harem, he didn't think too much: "The foreign minister came to visit Mr. Fusu in the name of the king."

"King Qi?" Fu Su let go of his hand, and glanced across the young man in green shirt standing beside him.

"Exactly," the envoy of Qi sat on the side seat, "Master Fusu, you don't know something. Before the princess entered Qin Dynasty, the king and the princess had a very good relationship. For so many years, the king has always cared about the princess, and he still cares about him. It's a pity that I couldn't see his sister's own son, his own nephew. Isn't this the first time the foreign minister comes to pay homage to the young master?"

Fusu's eyes were slightly rounded, and there was still a look of surprise on his baby-fat face: "Uncle?" The expression in his eyes was inexplicable, but his voice was full of joy and curiosity, "You mean that King Qi has always wanted to see you?" Fusu?"

"Yes," the envoy of Qi saw that there was a way, and his tone became more cordial, "I think you have been in Xianyang, and you have never seen the scenery of Qi. Qilu began with Zhou Gong and Jiang Taigong, the military advisor and national advisor of King Wu of Zhou, so the land of Qilu It has always been talented people who come out in large numbers, so there is the saying "Qi Yichang, as for Lu: Lu Yichang, as for Dao"."

"Many of your masters must be from my land of Qilu." Qi envoy had a smug smile on his face, "My son is the future king of Qin, you should come to Jixia Academy to have a look, where hundreds of families gather, every Every day there are debaters who talk about the world's major affairs, and there are many capable people with lofty ideals. If the young master can subdue one or two, it will be beneficial to both the young master and Qin in the future."

Fusu let out a light sigh, and seeing that Fusu was attracted by his words, the envoy of Qi began to publicize the humanities and landforms of Qi State with all his strength, saying that Qi State is a land without war and gunpowder, and only students are thriving. A peaceful place where a hundred schools of thought contend: "If the young master can enter our country of Qi, it will be a blessing for the country of Qi."

"That's it." When talking about entering Qi, Fusu's eyes flickered, and his tone was sad after drooping, "My father said that it is not safe outside. If Fusu leaves Xianyang, he will definitely become the target of people who hate Qin in the world." He hesitated for a while, and finally sighed and rejected Qi's kindness, "Fusu may not have the honor to see the state of Qi with his own eyes."

The envoy of Qi didn't panic, and when he heard Fusu's answer, he shook his head; "It doesn't matter, the state of Qi is right there, you can go whenever you want." He looked at Fusu's expression calmly, "I think back then when Qi and Qin were together. Calling the world the Western Emperor and the Eastern Emperor, I have a long friendship with Daqin, and you will naturally have opportunities in the future."

Fusu's eyes blinked a few times quickly, seeming to be surprised by the difference: "It will be many years later," the hand on the knee curled up slightly, "But Qi is Fusu's mother's hometown, if there is Given the opportunity, Fusu would like to go to the land of Qilu and take a look in person.”

The envoy Qi listened to Fusu's words and saw the sincere longing on his face, gritted his teeth secretly to maintain the expression on his face: "They are all sons who imitate their mothers, sons really have exactly the same temperament as His Royal Highness the princess. So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, it seems like yesterday was the wedding of the King of Qin and the Princess of Qi, and the six kingdoms came to congratulate him."

Fusu didn't speak, just looked at Qi Shi.

"Now, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The princess is gone. The princess' elder brother has become the king of Qi. Even the six kingdoms have gradually declined. Only Qin and Qi, the two great powers, are left to dominate the Central Plains." Shaking his head, he looked at Fusu regretfully, "Wait a few more years for the son of the king to inherit the throne of King Qi, and when the son also inherits the throne of King Qin, the two of you will definitely be able to achieve a good story of ruling the Central Plains together against your cousins .”

In and out of his words, he hinted at the situation where Su, Qin and Qi stand side by side, and there was even a hint of "your peers will become the king of Qi and you are still a son": "Waiting for the ceremony of the succession of the son, the son can ask for instructions." When the King of Qin went to the Qi State for the envoy of Qin, the Qi State would sweep the couch to greet him every time."

Fusu's focus was not at all on the point hinted by the envoy of Qi. He did not express what the envoy Qi said that "Qin and Qi will rule the world", nor did he say that the other party would "wait for a few years" at all: "The king of Qi is going to die. Already?" The tone was full of worry, "Did you suffer from some serious illness, or did you reach the age?"

"Cough, son!" The young man in green shirt standing outside had to interrupt Fusu's next words, "It's too rude."

"What's the matter?" Fusu's eyes curled up with a smile, "Isn't King Qi Fusu's uncle? I certainly don't mind Fusu's concern about his health. Besides, since the Qi envoy chooses to meet in private Fusu is only here to chat with Fusu as an elder, these words will not be spread, right?"

As he spoke, Fusu looked at the Qi envoy.

"Naturally," Qi Envoy replied with a smile, "I haven't asked yet, who is this?" He had noticed the young man who led him the way and stood beside Fusu when he was ushered in. It's just that he searched in his mind for a long time but couldn't get a seat, so he must not be from a famous family.

"Ah, him," Fusu's eyes lit up, "Qi Envoy has good eyesight, his name is Yingbu, and he was sent by General Bai to accompany Fusu." As if he didn't see Qi Envoy's sudden expression, "Today Qi It was a coincidence that the envoy came here, in the past he only knew how to pester General Bai, so he was unwilling to enter the palace, but today he entered the palace because his master entered the palace."

Qi Envoy: "Today, General Bai entered the palace?"

"Yes," Fusu replied frankly, "I heard that there will be another war."
