Raiders in the days of Qin Shi Huang

Wang Jian's army defeated Yan in one fell swoop, Yan Wang Xi and Prince Dan fled to Liaodong with the royal family, Qin general Li Xin led people to pursue the victory, and then defeated the Yan army.

King Yan killed Prince Dan and offered his head to Qin, intending to seek peace. King Qin refused, but stopped attacking.

At this time, Yan State was already in Qin State's pocket.

Since the king of Qin came to the throne, he has wiped out the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Yan, and the other three kingdoms have some panic and some self-confidence, and the people of Qin are full of joy.

The King of Qin had a favorite general named Meng Tian. They were about the same age. Meng Tian was a military general who came from a high family background. He was involved in both poetry and calligraphy. They sometimes played chess together.

At this time, in King Qin's study, he said while laying down his son: "Today Yan Kingdom is in the bag, and the king can secure the world in another day."

The black and white pieces on the chessboard were at the intersection of the criss-crossing lines, and the king of Qin then dropped a piece. The sound of the pieces and the chessboard was clear and moving.

"It will take some time. It will be easy for generations of Qin to attack the six countries, but with the Xiongnu in sight, it will not be easy to defend the land."

Qin Wang said, his tone was flat, his eyes were still on the chessboard, it can be seen that these words have been on his heart for a long time, and today he only said them to his confidant and beloved general.

"Tomorrow, the king will have all the Central Plains, and I would like to keep the land safe and secure." Meng Yi said while playing chess with the King of Qin.

Qin Wang did not agree to the other party's words, but said: "The frontier is bitter and cold, Aiqing thinks slowly."

"Why do you need to think too much, the king will secure the six kingdoms, if you can win the trust of the king, and the ministers and younger brothers guard the land, it will be a good thing." Meng Jia said.

The King of Qin smiled, Meng Tian and Meng Yi are his favorite generals, he is so precious, and today's invitation is very much in his favor.

After playing a few games of chess and talking for a while, before leaving, Meng Tian sent something to the small case between the two of them.

Yan said: "Recently, I have a lot of leisure time, and I have thought about some small things, and the king should be able to use them."

Meng Tian opened the box with his own hands, and there was a brush inside?

After taking a rough look at it, the King of Qin could see some tricks in it, and after holding it in his hand to sense the weight, he immediately understood what is different about this pen.

Now people use writing brushes, the pen barrel is solid, and the brush tip hair surrounds the pen barrel. This pen is hollow inside, and the brush tip hair is stuffed into it. It can be used better just by looking at it.

"Aiqing's method is very wonderful." King Qin praised, and asked again: "Is there anyone who can inherit this skill?"

"Naturally", Meng Tian said, whether he is a businessman himself, "this thing is specialized in people, and there are many people who use it. I don't want to monopolize it, and I can't make it one by one, so I give the method of making this thing to the local common people. Make it more profitable."

"Aiqing is pure and good." King Qin praised, and later ordered someone to fetch bamboo slips and ink to try, and it was indeed more useful.

On the other side, Yunshang is practicing calligraphy bitterly. The winter has passed, the snow has melted, spring has come and gone, and now it is summer.

She felt that as long as she could read, it would be good if she could write well, but King Qin didn't know what was going on, as if he always wanted to train her to be a good student.

Sometimes they say her handwriting is ugly, and sometimes they say her writing is ugly, only people are not ugly, so every time her attitude is so gentle, and her words are so decisive.

In the end, she had a bunch of inexplicable homework.

Sometimes, Yunshang wondered if King Qin was angry with him, but felt baffled, where did so many tempers come from, and he is not a person who gets angry easily.

The brush in his hand was bald again, Yun Chang sighed, threw it aside, propped his chin up, and looked at the handwriting on the short book.

In her eyes, the black pen and ink turned into small circle-shaped swirls one after another, making people dizzy and sleepy.

At this time, Tong Bing, a maid, said that King Qin had arrived, but Yun Chang didn't go to meet him, so she picked up the pen again, took a deep breath, and continued writing.

Come on, there are about thirty characters left!

As for King Qin, Yun Chang doesn't want to talk to him now.

It has become Yunshang's prerogative to come or not to welcome or see off. The maids are not surprised, and each of them hangs their heads and does their own things with peace of mind.

Qin Wang walked in and saw Yun Chang. There was a half-open window beside her, half of which was decorated with cross-stitched flowers, half of which was green tile wall and faint blue sky. There were not many jewelry on the woman's head, and a pen hanging on her wrist. The ever-green bracelet is like a fresh green branch wrapped around the white jade.

She was sitting upright, and at least she never slacked off when she was alone. Qin Wang went to Yunshang to watch the movement of Yunshang's pen.

Yun Shang's handwriting suddenly slowed down, as if he had put a lock on his eyesight, even if he could slow down, there were thirty or so characters, and just now he secretly hated that he couldn't finish writing, but now he has finished it in a blink of an eye up.

Qin Wang took out the pen in Yunshang's hand, "Why are you so eager to learn, but you can't bear the pen in your hand?"

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense, but my concubine is willing to do anything!" Yun Shang looked at King Qin and wanted to draw him a cat face.

King Qin touched Yunshang's sleeve, it was a little wet, and he raised his fingertips to see that it was ink.

Yun Shang followed King Qin's gaze and found the ink stains on the cuffs of her clothes. She lifted up the sleeves, and the ink stains were bigger than she thought.

She never dresses for any occasion, and it is the same now, like today wearing a dress with rather wide cuffs, it looks good, but it gets dirty easily.

First push King Qin to get up, let people wash their hands, and change clothes by themselves. When he came back, Yunshang said: "I have several pieces of clothes dirty, and I don't know if I can wash them clean. I feel very sad. Don't start writing, okay?"

King Qin met Shang Yunshang's bright and expectant eyes, gently rubbed her hair, and smiled.

There was such a sweet girl in his family, and he couldn't beat her, scold her, or watch her cry, so how could he throw away such a punishment.

"Gu give the beauty something." Qin Wang directly changed the subject, and then asked someone to fetch a small box.

Inside is the pen sent by Meng Tian. Yun Shang likes any kind of new objects. She took out this pen that was different from the one she had been using, and gestured twice in her hand.

"It seems to be lighter." She looked at King Qin and said.

Everyone else judges whether the pen is easy to use, but she is the only one who values ​​it. I don't know if it is because I am really tired from writing these days.

Qin Wang looked at the pile of bamboo slips on Yunshang's side and shook his head, "Then give it to the beauty, and hope that the beauty will do a good job soon."

Yun Chang froze, she suddenly didn't want this pen, what is a good article?

But the pen is still a good thing.

After the King of Qin borrowed flowers to present Buddha, he looked at Yun Chang again. She was wrapped in a wide robe, which made her look slimmer. A light purple belt in the middle stretched out a thin waist, as if she had lost weight.

In the future, it is better not to let her always write, she is not good at it in the first place, look at the torment.

Yun Chang didn't know what King Qin's thought was. A few days later, she led the cat around the yard, looking at the new flowers and birds, and the cat's eyes followed suit.

The cats she picked up back then had already given birth to several litters, some of them went to play somewhere, and some of them wandered lazily around in her palace.

The raccoon cat under his hand is very different. The best hunter among the brothers, whether it is catching birds or mice, once even caught a snake, and these things will be brought to the palace by him. He will not share it with a few brothers and sisters, but will dedicate it to the maids in the palace who feed him, and a few cat lovers, including Yunshang.

That snake was given to her, it was terrible.

So she decided to hold her for a few days to see if she could discipline her temper back.

Walking on the road, the cat occasionally caught insects and scratched the grass, Yun Shang didn't know where to go, so she followed the cat.

Then unexpectedly heard the conversation of several women.

"You and I are getting old and can't see the king. It's a shame in this life." It was a girl in her twenties who said this.

Yunshang was beside a bush, and her cat was rolling among some grasses.

After King Qin destroyed several countries, more and more people feared him, and more and more women loved him.

Yunshang knew that if she went to the street, she would still hear a girl saying that she wanted to marry King Qin.

Hearing this was boring, she pulled the leash in her hand, and was ready to take the cat away.

The three women on the other side got together, and the topic still revolved around the king of Qin. One of them said: "But what can we do? The king only favors Mrs. Yun. Although we have no favors here, we can live on. My sister should not be selfish." Sorry."

Another said: "I heard that last year, a beloved man surnamed Li sent a letter to his family to pick her up, and begged the king, and he really went home. Why don't we give it a try?"

Every year in the palace, no matter what kind of scenery is tired of seeing, the King of Qin doesn't like them except Mrs. Yun, and it makes people feel uneasy, so it seems that it is better to go home.

But the woman who spoke at the beginning was not reconciled, "You and I will never find someone like the king to be the husband again when we go out?"

This sentence is the truth, the other two women who spoke just now showed regretful and helpless expressions on their faces, they looked at the woman who spoke together without saying a word.

I just heard her say: "There are girls among the people who are courting your husband. If I recommend myself to the king, I don't know if I may get my wish?"

Her tone was quite serious, and the eyes of the other two women were widened by her shock. Yun Chang glanced at the cat that had just been pulled in front of her, and was not in a hurry to leave. The kitten squatted at her feet and licked its paws .

The woman just came up with an idea, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible, with a smile on her face, "Your Majesty is our rightful husband, but if you don't wait for me, will you be punished if you sincerely ask for it? If I get my wish, I will definitely introduce the two sisters to the king. If not, we will go home together, and it is very happy to go out to have fun together occasionally."

The few people gathered were only a few feet away, and Yun Shang could hear what these people said clearly. The maid looked at her calm face and couldn't distinguish between happiness and anger, so she became more afraid to speak out.

Yun Chang bent down and hugged the cat into her arms, stretched out her hand, and the maid naturally handed over a piece of dried fish.

The dried fish was raised on the cat's head, and the kitten's eyes followed the dried fish in Yunshang's hand, and stretched out its front paws to explore the dried fish in mid-air. Without touching it, it was lifted further away.

"Meow~" The kitten stretched its neck, glanced at the dried fish, and then at the person holding the dried fish. If it couldn't cry out for the dried fish, it called again.

One after another meow, soft and whiny.

The three women were talking lively, and there was almost no risk in this plan. The practice of recommending pillow seats has been around since ancient times. Although it is not elegant, it is a bit shocking, but if you put your face to it, if the king likes them, it is not a bad idea. chance?

At this time, whether a girl is reserved or not depends entirely on her personality. Someone recommended a pillow mat in a dark room, and what this woman said was that she recommended herself when she met the King of Qin in public.

Several people talked about it in full swing, and when the first meow sounded, no one took it seriously.

When the second meow sounded, no one took it seriously, after all, there were a few wild cats in the palace.

When the cat meowed again and again, the three of them turned their heads one after another, and then froze one after another.

Some people may not have seen Yun Chang's face in the palace, but there is absolutely no one who will not recognize it.
