[Qin] Qin Shi

The air suddenly fell into silence, Bai Shu noticed the extinguished candle, walked slowly to the candlestick, took out a new candle from the small hanging box next to it, lit it with the surviving candle, and put it on. into the candlestick, and took this opportunity to replace the other candles that were about to burn out.

Zhao Jia looked at Bai Shu's silhouette concentrating on changing candles: "Jia didn't—"

"Is there no one in the court who advocates fighting?" Bai Shu no longer looked directly at Zhao Jia, he focused on changing the candles, his attitude seemed unwilling and seemed to be evading, "Young master came overnight. What does Wang Di mean?" Although Zhao Jia has several younger brothers, they both know who each other is referring to.

"It's Jia's own idea." Zhao Jia paused, "But Jia definitely didn't have any—"

"My lord, like the courtiers in the court, all advocate peace and tranquility, right?" Bai Shu's hands were quick, and dozens of candles were quickly re-established in the candlesticks. He asked himself and answered, as if he didn't want his answer. "Since you have chosen to calm things down, then the young master really shouldn't have visited Yanbei this trip."

Zhao Jia closed her lips that had been parted all along, and her expression was slightly gloomy.

"Even if it is the order of King Zhao himself, but the order is changed from day to day, if he does not admit it, the young master will leave Handan privately without obeying the order. It will be difficult to speak out both emotionally and rationally. Grasping the handle and wanting to deal with the young master - it is nothing Trouble." Bai Shu said so, facing Zhao Jia sideways.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Zhao Jia knows that there is really no possibility of redemption.He was silent for a moment, and suddenly mentioned the events of the year: "Back then, why did the general come to Jia's house in person, and even took the initiative to tell Yu Jia his identity?" You must know that even if the other party voluntarily confessed his identity back then, he thought it was a case game.

"Master, are you blaming Shu for being troublesome back then?" Bai Shu turned to look at Zhao Jia, and asked calmly, "But do you think that if Shu hadn't come to your house back then, you would still be living in peace now?" He looked in front of him. The young man who was a few years older than himself looked at the denial on his face and the questioning in his eyes.

It can't be said that it was disappointment, but it was calm as expected. Bai Shu looked at Zhao Jia's ignorance, and sighed slowly: "Just think that it was Shu's wishful thinking back then, thinking that he could do more for this Yanbei, for the people and himself. What is it?" He saw what Zhao Jia was hiding behind the mask, "Just looking at the young master, I suddenly felt a sigh in my heart. Since the world is like this, there are so many people who are willing to die for the friendship between the monarch and his ministers, father and son. .”

"Perhaps Shu is the only selfish person in the world."

What Bai Shu thought was Fu Su, but he didn't know that his words were misunderstood by Zhao Jia: "If the general is in Jia's place, will he resist orders?"

"In your realm?" Bai Shu chuckled, full of contempt and disdain, "how could it be." It's not so easy to be a king. You have to worry about the borders outside, balance the court power inside, and worry about your own safety. Whether the position is stable or not, whether his people are living in peace or not, he has already gone deep into the grassland without knowing how far.

As a king, how can someone stationed at the border be so at ease: "This target, Shu is not a fool, how could he do it." He bypassed the answer Zhao Jia wanted, but talked about another possibility, "Shu is very happy. With self-knowledge, Shu's temperament, he is only suitable to be a courtier—for the king or something, let's forget it."

Zhao Jia didn't know that the relieved look on his face was so obvious at the moment, and his emotions were so nakedly displayed on the surface that it was difficult for Bai Shu to ignore the other party's psychology: "Young master, if this trip is only For that, then..."

"Why doesn't the general want to go back to Handan?" Afraid that the next sentence would be to see off the guests, Zhao Jia hurriedly withdrew the topic to the original place, "Just going back to Handan with Jia to meet the envoy of Qin may not mean going to Xianyang."

Bai Shu, who was questioned, looked straight at Zhao Jia, without blinking, without turning around, until the guilty Zhao Jia turned his eyes away: "Look, you don't believe this yourself, how can you have the position to persuade Shu?" Woolen cloth?"

"Now my country, Zhao, is really powerless to fight any more." Zhao Jia buried his face in his hands, his body suddenly bent when his heart was punctured. , Zhao Guo can transfer only 20 soldiers."

In the Battle of Changping, Tu Baiqi killed as much as he wanted, and a full 40 Zhao Guoerlang fell in Changping. Only more than 200 children under the age of 14 survived.They returned to Zhao State, but they returned with a disease, which spread to the world with a disease that was terrified of the Qin people.

"Isn't that enough?" Bai Shu looked at Zhao Jia coldly, "My lord, do you still remember that the state of Qin a hundred years ago was just a land of western barbarians, and the people in Guanzhong looked down on them, and even the king - they thought they were the best in the world?" Ji. But now, who in the world would dare to look down on Qin?"

"Master, don't you think that such prestige comes from the sky without fighting?" Pause, "Back then, Shu Yuan fought with you because you had a clear stand from the top of the court, and you would rather fight than surrender. The king of Zhao threatened to depose the crown prince, and the young master never flinched."

"But now, my lord has changed a lot." In this quiet night, Zhao Jia, who came thousands of miles to Yanbei, may not be the only one who feels tired. Young master Jia."

Zhao Jia raised his head and looked at Yanbei Jun who was standing not far away.

"Just like back then, Shu still thinks that the throne is more suitable for the son than Zhao Qian." One night many years ago, he also stood in the mansion of the son Jia, and said the same thing to the owner of the mansion, "Respect Confucianism in troubled times." , is the most stupid decision, the son respects Confucianism, and will lose."

"If you don't respect Confucianism," Zhao Jia smiled wryly, "do you still have to respect the law? The calendar of the Qin State is strict, and the people are overwhelmed, General."

"Sir, have you seen it with your own eyes? Heard it with your own ears? Or have you realized it yourself?" Bai Shu shook his head, "It's mostly people who say what they say, just following the trend. country. Even the young master, isn’t he also a victim of Confucianism and Taoism?”

While speaking, Bai Shu pointed to the top of his head, and signaled: "Young Master, you are not as open-minded as the current King Zhao." It is said that seizing the heir is an invisible war, and if you follow the rules, you will lose Undoubtedly, "It's tonight, young master, guess why King Zhao sent young master instead of others to persuade Shu?"

"Is it because of unfamiliarity? Is it because it's inconvenient?" He chuckled softly, "It's just because Young Master and Shu have an old relationship. He wanted Shu to go to Qin, but he didn't want to owe this favor, and he didn't want to be criticized by the people, so Young Master , it can only be the son—he is a king, how can he bear the infamy for such a thing—but isn’t everyone doing it for the motherland?”

Bai Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the turbulent emotions on Zhao Jia's face, his lowered eyes made him tumbling back and forth in the vortex of his thoughts.

"That's it," Zhao Jia pulled out of his chaotic thoughts until he heard the sound of a watch knocking outside the yard, "Jia still has to rush back, disturbing the general in the middle of the night, it was really not his intention." He stood up and walked towards Bai Shu slowly He saluted, "Thank you General for helping Jia tonight, so Jia will leave now." He straightened up, raised his hand and pulled back the big hat that fell behind his head, covering himself in the shadows.

Bai Shu just watched his movements like this: "Young master, don't you want to persuade me?"

"Jia has never seen the general clearly," Zhao Jia shook his head, "Not in the past, not now, and even less in the future. The general has made up his mind, and it is not something that Jia can persuade." He said this, but his tone was unexpected. Firmly, "Perhaps Jia's arrival today, as the general said, was a mistake."

The person who was evaluated in this way hummed without interrupting Zhao Jia: "The general has great benevolence and righteousness in his heart. Even if Jia had never come, the general would go for Yanbei, the people and soldiers of Yanbei." He described Handan. The word "back" is used, and the word "go" naturally refers to something else.

"Are you threatening me?" He raised his eyebrows, "It looks like I have to go to Xianyang?"

"It's not a threat." Zhao Jia looked straight at Bai Shu with his eyes sunk in the shadows, "Jia was just suddenly curious, why would a person like the general want to guard Yanbei? Why would a person like the general want to protect me?" Yield to my country of Zhao? A person like the general—will one day be truly moved by his heart in the future?"

"A person like Shu?" Bai Shu smiled, "What kind of person is Shu?"

"Jia doesn't know," Zhao Jia shook his head frankly, "it's not Jia who just gave the answer to the general's question." After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Bai Shu, turned around and opened the door and left.

Only Bai Shu stood in the hall, silently looking at the night sky outside the open door, until the sound of footsteps sounded behind him, someone raised the curtain, and walked into the main hall from the side room: "What is the general going to do?" As soon as the words came out, he was stunned, "This subordinate seems to have been asking the general this question all night."

"I don't know," the sky in the distance has turned white, "I don't know."

"What are you instigating Young Master Jia to do tonight?" Li was puzzled, "The throne has been established for many years now, and if he didn't hold great power, he wouldn't be able to make trouble. General, you have spent so much trouble tonight, is there anything he can take advantage of?" place?"

"Who knows," the same answer, the same perfunctory, "maybe."

Li didn't get annoyed if he didn't get the answer, he had long been used to his general's mysterious manner in other matters: "Handan is not a good place to go, Xianyang is a place of tiger's den," Li stood in Libai A few steps away, Shu said, "Perhaps you shouldn't have ventured to Handan back then, and you shouldn't have tried to persuade Young Master Jia to take the throne because of a few words from Young Master Jia."

"It's just that I misjudged the person and made a failed investment." Bai Shu turned around and stepped in the direction of Li, "I thought that Mr. Jia, who has always advocated a strong country and a strong soldier, would be a wise man among the people. The different one." Yuri brushed past him, "and he turned out to be just like the rest of the world."

"Father and son, Confucianism and Taoism are moderate, and most people in the world are like this." Looking down, looking at his toes, "It's the same, boring."

"Then what kind of king does the general want to find?" Li turned his head and watched his general raise the curtain, "The general has always treated Qin State preferentially, but do you want to find a king who is like the king of Qin?"

In Erli's line of sight, there was only the figure behind the curtain, and the slightly dim voice behind the curtain: "Nature is different, it's worth waiting for, and it's waiting for me just like I was waiting for him."

Many years ago, the boy who had never seen a war and came from peace made bold words to others.Waiting for the existence of a person who has never been seen before, who will never come after, Qianqiu himself - at that time, he will have the answer in his heart.

The author has something to say: Regarding where it was written that Bai Shu knew Zhao Jia before, the answer is no. Chapter 66 is the first time that Gongzi Jia appeared.But about Bai Shu and Gongzi Jia, I will mention it later (in fact, I accidentally forgot about it when writing the article, so I can only talk about QaQ backwards)

When you name "Jia", you will subconsciously think of Guo Jia~
