Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

121

At the end of 241 BC, under the absolute power of the Qin army, South Korea could no longer resist and chose to surrender.

King Han was forced to join Qin.

Inside the main hall of Zhangtai Palace, civil servants and military generals lined up consciously, and the majestic and spacious Qin court was silent.Han Wangran, who used to be respected as a vassal king, today, like other courtiers, crossed the threshold in despair with countless gazes.

Step by step, he walked under the throne of the King of Qin, holding up the Imperial Seal of South Korea with both hands.

"South Korea surrendered today," King Han took a deep breath, choking with sobs, "I would like to be the vassal of Qin, please stop swords and wars. I implore King Qin to let the ministers of South Korea and the people live together."

Ying Zheng on the throne tilted his head behind the crown.

The heavy and dignified crown blocked King Qin's sight and most of his face, but it couldn't block the figure of the young monarch.Han Wang, who was under the throne, was astonished that King Qin was younger than he imagined, but more ruthless and majestic than he imagined.

When Qin Wangzheng came to the throne, two Qin kings were killed within three years.The monarchs and nobles of the six countries secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Qin's strength was over.

Who would have thought that such a young man who had not yet reached the crown would be so tough, decisive, and ambitious, even more than King Qin Zhao?

"it is good."

Qin Wangzheng on the seat nodded slowly: "Korea surrendered, Qin has no reason not to accept it."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Buwei who was in the front row.

"Father Zhong, please trouble you." The young monarch said lightly.

After hearing the order, Qin Xiangguo Lu Buwei slowly stepped out and walked in front of King Han.The gentle Qin Xiangguo saluted King Han first, and then raised his hands: "King Han, please."

King Han closed his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally let go.

The national seal, which has been passed down for more than a hundred years, was just handed over for him.

——I just became the king of subjugation!

For a moment, Han Wangran's mood was mixed with grief and indignation, and tears filled his eyes.

When Lu Buwei received the national seal and presented it in front of Qin Wangzheng in person, Han Wang staggered back two steps, almost losing his temper.

But he can't.

Handing over the national seal is only the first step. Even if he becomes a bereaved man, Han Wangran still has to fight for his last hope.

"Since South Korea has surrendered," he said, "the king of Qin is also requested to raise his hand."

Qin Wangzheng watched coldly as Lu Buwei put the South Korean Seal on the long case in front of him.

This is the national seal of a country.

King Han thought fearfully in his heart: Couldn't even the Seal of a Country arouse the emotions of King Qin?Could it be that this young monarch doesn't pay attention to conquering the next country?

He, is he a person? !

"If South Korea doesn't resist, I don't want to continue the killing and conquest." Qin Wangzheng said calmly: "But accepting a country is completely different from accepting a city, and how to approach it is not up to the widow alone. "

After finishing speaking, King Qin looked over King Han and surrounded the entire main hall.

"What do you think?" Qin Wangzheng asked.

"My lord."

Lu Buwei, who had just been restored, came out again, and said frankly: "I think that since South Korea has surrendered, it cannot be wiped out. South Korea has surrendered to a vassal state, and the local nobles may be upset. You can stay in the country without setting up a county reform for the time being, and support this generation of South Korea. Nobles, as for the next generation, let them find their own way."

"Xiangguo's words are inappropriate."

When Lu Buwei's words fell, some ministers objected: "There is no reason to use Qin's money to support the nobles of South Korea. What's more, if everything remains the same. Then why fight South Korea and present what national seal?"

"I haven't said it will remain the same. My colleagues, I won't be able to listen to what Wei said." Interrupted by the ministers, Lu Buwei was not angry, and there was still a humble smile on his clear and fair face: "Except for what General Buwei will say, Although there is no county, everything is managed according to the county: assign Qin officials to administer, implement Qin laws and laws, change the Han system to the Qin system, currency, weights and measures are the same. Open elementary school classes in Korea, and teach Qin seal and Qin books."

Speaking of this, the atmosphere of discussion and opposition in the court has been reduced by most.

But Lu Buwei hadn't finished yet: "The soldiers recruited in South Korea are also mixed into the Qin soldiers. How to arrange and train them specifically, and Buwei is not good at fighting. I also invite all generals to discuss and propose."

After Lu Buwei opened the scene first, many ministers and workers in the Qin court began to chatter.

There are those who support it, those who oppose it, and many more are actually discussing specific plans.They acted as if Han Wangran in the hall did not exist.

South Korea is a piece of pork on the chopping board of Qin State. Several cooks gathered together to discuss how to cut this piece of meat.

King Han, who was standing in the center of the main hall, felt ridiculous when he heard these words.

But King Qin on the throne did not say a word.

In King Han's view, the young monarch sitting on the throne is not patient, he is more like a stone sculpture without emotions and feelings.

This reminded King Han of the past rumors——

It is said that Qin Wangzheng is just a puppet, and now it is Qin Xiangguo and the Taishi couple who really control Qin.

It is precisely because Qin Wangzheng in the Qin court said little, and the discussion seemed to be presided over by Lu Buwei that such rumors appeared.

But as the same monarch, Han Wangran finally realized that such rumors were outrageously wrong after seeing Qin Wangzheng in person.

It's not that Qin Wangzheng doesn't have the right to make decisions, he already had the answers to everything he was discussing right before he stepped into the Qin court.

Not showing emotions seems to have given the ministers room to speak. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for South Korea's crushing defeat.

Han Wangran secretly clenched his fists.

He raised his head, and Qin Wangzheng on the throne felt something.The young monarch just raised his hand lightly, and Qin Ting's discussions immediately disappeared.

"As King Han, I would like to surrender, and I am willing to enter Qin as a hostage." King Han said, "So, although South Korea is a vassal of Qin, there is no king. King Qin can appoint my son, son An, as king to supervise and govern South Korea for Qin. .”

When King Han's words fell to the ground, Li Si immediately stood up: "I think it's impossible!"

"Isn't it right?" Li Si said, "Leave one King of Han in Xianyang and set up a new one. That's really no difference."

"What you said is to use Qin ministers, recruit Qin soldiers, and set up Qin schools in Han." Han Wang retorted sadly: "Isn't it enough? The reason why I said this is nothing more than hoping that the King of Qin will give a false name and be able to do so." Let my son protect the remaining royal family in Han, and leave a good way for others! This way, it can also show the benevolence, righteousness and trustworthiness of King Qin, so why not?"

"South Korea doesn't need such a false name, and neither do the widows."

Qin Wangzheng coldly rejected Han Wang's request.

But after saying a word, the young monarch said again: "You can enter Qin as a hostage, that's fine. It's also fine to establish a new king. The widow can even give the new king some real power and allow the new king to participate in state affairs."

When Han Wang heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Such generosity, this is not the style of Qin Wangzheng!

"but--"

Sure enough, there is something to say.

Qin Wangzheng continued: "Young Master An, I think it's not suitable, let's change it."

King Han: "... Then who does King Qin think is more suitable?"

Until this time, Qin Wangzheng on the throne finally twitched his lips.

The young man gave King Han a barely noticeable smile.

"The widow can send the young master Fei back to Xinzheng," Qin Wangzheng said frankly, "make the young master Fei the acting king."

The expression on King Han's face changed from shock to complacency, and then stayed on deep sorrow and self-mockery.

"understood."

He said weakly: "It turns out that King Qin has already prepared."

In the huge Qin court, there are countless civil servants and generals, and any one of them who stands up may have merits that make the six countries fear.

But if anyone can understand the mind and political views of the King of Qin, and even the State of Qin, probably none of them can compare to a young man from South Korea, Fei.

In order to save Han and enter Qin Dynasty, the young master rushed to write a letter, and he did not hesitate to die to show his ambition.Even Qin Wangzheng's cup of poisoned wine didn't make him change his position.

In Han, he is benevolent and righteous.

Now that the building is in ruins, if one offends the king of Qin, South Korea still has the risk of being completely destroyed from the vassal state.

No one has the ability to turn the tide and save a dead person.

At this time, it is not a high position to send the young master, he can display his ambitions, but also has to work hard for Qin.

Even, the King of Qin was willing to risk his son Fei's rebellion against Qin to do so.

Han Wang asked himself, he did not have such confidence, nor did he have such ability and courage.

Moreover, this kind of planning started as early as several years ago when Qin State attacked South Korea, so...

I'm afraid it wasn't the arrangement of King Qin alone, right?

For Qin Zhuan, to promote weights and measures, and to present books and paper, the King of Han now understands why the son of the past was so fussy about it.And the creator of it all—

King Han suddenly came back to his senses.

It is said that the Qin court is special, because under the throne of the king of Qin, there is always a minister who stands apart from civil servants and generals, and faces the ministers just like the monarch.

And this courtier is still a woman, she is Lord Xia Yang.

but……

Only then did King Han realize later that Lord Xia Yang was not present in Qin Ting right now.

Where has she gone?

…………

……

At the same time, Hangu Pass.

"Send it here."

Lian Po tightened the reins, turned his horse's head, and looked at Zhao Weizhen behind him.

The old general seemed to be mocking, and also seemed to be joking: "King Han came to Qin and asked to surrender himself. As the grand master of Qin, you didn't go to court?"

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help laughing: "I've heard that the upper court can't do without a monarch, but I haven't heard that the upper court can't do without a minister. When it collapses that day, if my parents want to leave, I have to give them away."

Lian Po sneered, but after laughing, a bit of shock appeared on his wrinkled face.

It was not because Zhao Weizhen sent it to Hangu Pass in person, but she clarified her identity in one sentence: No matter how powerful and powerful a courtier is, she is also a courtier.

It is said that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers is like walking on thin ice. Lian Po's two defeats were all caused by the jealousy of the monarch.He has fought for Zhao Guo all his life, and the biggest humiliation in his life was also given by King Zhao.

But Qin Wangzheng's trust in Zhao Weizhen may have something to do with her attitude.

At the end, Lian Po reflected on what he had done.

"Ugh!"

The old general couldn't help shaking his head: "Perhaps I shouldn't have let you and Qin Wangzheng go."

Zhao Weizhen smiled and said: "The general is stubborn, if you don't fulfill your promise, will you be able to sleep at night?"

Lian Po thought about it carefully, and replied earnestly: "I'm afraid I will have to toss and turn for three nights, and then personally lead the troops to the prison in Handan to rescue you and that brat. Maybe the situation will be worse."

When these words fell to the ground, everyone, old and young, laughed out loud.

"It's not just me sending you off today."

Zhao Weizhen's expression brought a little sincerity: "There is also an old friend of the general."

Lian Po laughed and said, "Who else can I have in this Qin country?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage from Lu's mansion in the distance arrived late.

After the coachman stopped, the people in the carriage got out of the carriage almost in a panic, and ran wildly on foot with the corners of their clothes on their hands.

"Old General!"

Seeing this, Lian Po immediately got off his horse and exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Zhao's family!"

It was Zhao Liang, Zhao Weizhen's father, who came here.

It turned out that the "old man" Zhao Weizhen was talking about turned out to be her father!

When he was in Handan, although Lian Po was not close to Zhao Liang, he was a good friend of Lord Pingyuan.

More than ten years have passed, Lord Pingyuan is dead, King Xiaocheng is dead, and now Zhao Wangyan is vicious and fatuous, and nothing can happen at all.Things are different and people are different. When I saw the old man in Handan in Qindi, and heard Zhao Liang's full Handan accent, Lian Po's eyes were red immediately.

The old general cried, but Zhao Liang laughed out loud.

He grabbed Lian Po's hand, and with tears in his eyes, he smiled and said, "How old am I, how old am I to be my husband?"

Lian Po was startled, seeing Zhao Liang's white hair at the temples, he also laughed.

"After all, this old man is almost 20 years older than you," Lian Po said angrily, "So what if I call you my lord?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Liang up and down for a long time, and said with concern: "I heard that you are not in good health recently, and you are recuperating at home, what are you doing here?"

"No matter how bad it is, I still want to come and give it off." Zhao Liang said with emotion: "After the general leaves, even if I can return to Handan in my lifetime, it will no longer be the Handan in my memory."

Zhao Weizhen at the side also let out a long sigh of relief.

My old father saw each other every day, and he didn't think there was anything wrong on weekdays, but standing with General Lian Po, Zhao Weizhen was shocked to find that his father's hair had become much grayer, and the wrinkles on his face had increased a lot.

He is also over 50 years old, and in the pre-Qin period, he could be counted as a long life.

"General."

Zhao Weizhen stepped forward and said: "I have prepared a thousand pieces of gold in the car for the general. When you travel north to Xiayang to pick up your family, all the servants, motorcades, and guards in the mansion will also be given to the general. After arriving in Xiayang, there will be a caravan waiting for you." , the general can go all the way to Qi with the caravan to see the sea."

"You little woman."

Lian Po smiled and said, "It's all arranged for me."

How old are you, and you are still a little woman.

But Zhao Weizhen didn't struggle, she even missed being called the old general very much.

"It would be great to go to Qi." Zhao Weizhen said with a smile, "Go and see the sea, even the King of Qin has never seen it!"

"Just listen to your arrangement."

Lian Po finished laughing, tidied up his solemn appearance, and then saluted Zhao Weizhen and Zhao Liang.

"Let's just send it here. Thank you for your kindness." Lian Po boldly got on his horse and said loudly to the father and daughter, "Let's say goodbye today, take care!"

"General!"

Zhao Liang was both happy and sad, knowing that today is destined to be a farewell.Old people, nostalgia, and nostalgia for the past years are mixed together, making it rare for the always gentle old father to show uncontrollable emotions.He couldn't help but followed Lian Po's horse and walked forward again, and couldn't stop urging him.

"Old general, pay attention to your health!"

"It is said that the coast of Qi is humid. If you are not used to living here, you should go to Linzi. There will be Meng Kai's old friend."

"If you are free, please write to me, so that I can rest assured."

Talking and walking like this, the two walked more than a hundred meters away.

Wei Xing, who was behind Zhao Weizhen, couldn't help worrying: "Ma'am—"

"Ask Father to send him off." Zhao Weizhen said softly, "Once the old general leaves, there will really be no one in this world."

Lord Pingyuan, King Qin Zhao, and Lord Xinling, etc., those historical celebrities who represented slave owners and nobles at the end of the Warring States Period, were annihilated one by one in the long river of time.

Then, a new era came.

Zhao Weizhen was filled with emotions.

"Not really," Wei Xing muttered, "General Lian Po values ​​righteousness and wants to keep him from leaving. There are a lot of reasons."

This is true.

If you can use kindness and favor to keep him in the first battle, you can win the second battle.With Zhao Weizhen's death begging for nothing, it's not difficult at all.

only--

"Let's send him away."

Zhao Weizhen raised his eyebrows: "The next battle will start. If the old general stays, it will be embarrassing."

Wei Xing: "Where will we fight next?"

Zhao Weizhen had been watching General Lian Po's back condensed into a small shadow, and then stopped when he saw his father seeing him off.

She evoked a smile.

"Destroy Zhao." Zhao Weizhen said.
