Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

036

Zhao Weizhen's words fell to the ground, and the room was silent.

Mr. Pingyuan frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Young Master Yan is a man with a small stomach and small intestines, and he listens and believes." Zhao Weizhen said without hesitation: "Now he has become a prince and has real power. My concubine has offended him a long time ago, and also offended Gong Ziyan's playmate Guo Kai. Gong Ziyan is bound to find him If there is a chance, harm the concubine."

Zhao Weizhen said seriously: "Anyway, it's death, that concubine might as well die in the hands of the Lord. In this way, Gongzi Yan also loses the reason to trouble my father, and the Lord can also protect my father's safety."

Mr. Pingyuan only felt that his head hurt even more.

"am I crazy?!"

He said angrily: "If I kill you, will your father hate me forever?"

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help showing sadness when he heard the words.

She made another big obeisance: "Then I implore you to send me and my father to leave Handan safely!"

Lord Pingyuan: "..."

Having said that, Mr. Pingyuan understands why Zhao Weizhen is here.

She is quite self-aware, knowing that if she wants to live, she has to leave Handan as soon as possible.

But from the perspective of Zhao Guo, Mr. Pingyuan did not want to let Zhao Weizhen return to Qin.

Although he was seriously ill, his mind was still clear.The King of Qin respects Zhao Weizhen and should not act rashly towards her.But if Zhao Weizhen is detained, Zhao Guo will hold a hostage instead.

Besides, her set of harness drawings allowed Qin to create a heavy cavalry army. Who knows what else is in Meng Kai's mind?

"You stay in Handan." Lord Pingyuan said coldly, "With me here, Young Master Yan dare not do anything."

Zhao Weizhen didn't reply.

She touched her forehead to the ground, put her hands in front of her head, and didn't even get up.

Does Mr. Pingyuan know what kind of character Zhao Weizhen is?She was not afraid of anything, and saluting like this meant much more persecution than pleading.

Thinking of this, Mr. Pingyuan became angry again: "What are you doing, get up for me! Do you think that I am old and always have to go ahead of you, so I can't protect you forever?"

Only then did Zhao Weizhen reluctantly get up.

Her face was still sad: "I don't mean that. But I'm afraid that if I tell the truth, I will provoke the emperor to be even more angry."

It's just like you don't cause trouble and anger at ordinary times!

Mr. Pingyuan is almost getting used to it now - seeing Zhao Weizhen appearing alone, it's probably not a good thing.

"Tell me." He slowed down his tone instead: "Can you still stab the sky?"

"The Zhao family of Zhao State has a tradition of killing brothers and relatives since their ancestors." Zhao Weizhen told the truth directly: "How does your lord feel that you can be alone?"

Lord Pingyuan: "..."

Even though the other party was well prepared, he was taken aback when he heard Zhao Weizhen say such disrespectful words.

Before he could react, Zhao Weizhen quickly continued: "Your Majesty has never forgotten how the former King Wuling died, and how your two elder brothers killed each other, right?"

Mr. Pingyuan: "..."

When mentioning the past, Mr. Pingyuan stared angrily at first. He just wanted to get angry again, but his brain took a step ahead and understood the reason why Zhao Weizhen brought up the old things again.

Immediately he fell silent again.

Seeing that he wanted to get angry but didn't speak in the end, Zhao Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a play!

I knew Mr. Pingyuan would be shaken by this.

"Historical Records Zhao Family" records: When he was young, King Zhao Wuling vigorously promoted Hufu riding and shooting, and actively reformed Zhao's politics, economy and even cultural aspects, which allowed Zhao's territory to expand and its national power to become extremely strong for a while. .

But King Zhao Wuling made a big mistake in his later years.

Because King Zhao Wuling loved Wu Wa's second son, Zhao He, he abolished the eldest son Zhao Zhang's crown prince and made Zhao He the crown prince.But when Zhao He succeeded to the throne, King Wuling couldn't bear the heart of his eldest son bowing down to his second son, and proposed to split the country and make two kings.

As a result, in the later years of King Zhao Wuling, a large-scale civil strife in Zhao was triggered.

The final result was that brothers killed each other, son Zhang died tragically, and King Zhao Wuling himself was besieged tragically. A generation of famous emperors starved to death because of the confusion in their later years.

This is the famous dune palace change.

In the story, King Wuling of Zhao, Prince Zhang, and King Huiwen of Zhao, Zhao He, are the father and two elder brothers of Lord Pingyuan respectively.

From today's point of view, King Wuling's wavering in the selection of the crown prince and his preference for the younger son are so similar to the contradictions between the crown princes Chunpinghou and Gongzi Yan of the Zhao Kingdom today!

"Once a person has power, in order to defend and fight for power, he can turn into a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard." Zhao Weizhen saw that Mr. Pingyuan was wavering, and struck while the iron was hot: "I have no intention of beckoning the previous king, but please think twice: If the son becomes king, what will happen when he arrives?" What will happen when?"

This directly hit Mr. Pingyuan's mind.

It is precisely because of the palace change that year that Mr. Pingyuan was hit hard by the escape of the prince Chunpinghou, and he strongly opposed King Zhao's changing his son Yan to be the prince.

"Your Majesty knows what Gongzi Yan looks like." Zhao Weizhen persuaded him sincerely, "Instead of thinking about me and my father, it is better to let us leave. Your Majesty is out of sight and out of mind."

Mr. Pingyuan knew that what Zhao Weizhen said made sense.

As she said, the former king, King Huiwen, was a smart man after all, as for Young Master Yan...

Mr. Pingyuan has seen how confused he can be.

He couldn't help thinking about it: he was very strict with Gong Ziyan on weekdays, and it was not once or twice to reprimand and punish in public.His intentions were good, but he hated iron for being weak, coupled with his quick temper, his behavior was a little too much.

But son Yanke has never received love.

I am afraid that in his eyes, his own education and suggestions are all harsh criticism and abuse.

In this way, if he becomes the King of Zhao... don't talk about guaranteeing that Zhao Liang and Meng Wei are comprehensive, I am afraid that Mr. Pingyuan himself will be a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and he will not be able to protect himself.

It's good that Zhao Weizhen didn't mention the past, but when she euphemistically mentioned the Dune Palace Change, Mr. Pingyuan felt that a great sadness overwhelmed him.

Not to mention that the prince was abolished, and the state of Qin must have hindered it.

Marquis Chunping is the proton of the state of Qin. His escape from Xianyang is tantamount to offending the state of Qin.If King Qin is harsh, he can use this as an excuse to start a war!

If something happens to Meng Kai again, I'm afraid it will not reproduce the situation of the Battle of Handan a few years ago.

"That's it."

He waved his hand weakly: "Even if I want to protect you, I can't protect you for a few years."

Hearing this, Zhao Weizhen immediately straightened his back: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Take good care of your body, and you will be fine once your illness is cured!"

Mr. Pingyuan sneered, "Do you believe what you say?"

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

For the first time since he entered the door, Zhao Weizhen showed obvious sadness on his face.

Others don't know, but she knows.According to historical records, Lord Pingyuan died of illness in 261 BC, the same year as King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

Now he has three years to live.

When reading history books, I just feel that a historical figure is going to his own end.But now, what is in front of her is far more than just a name in a book.

Although Mr. Pingyuan has a fiery and strict personality on weekdays, and he always raises eyebrows and reprimands Zhao Weizhen, but he is also thinking of Zhao Weizhen.

Even if the positions are different, Mr. Pingyuan doesn't make it difficult for her.

As an elder, he is a good elder.

Like Lian Po who went to the wine shop to drink her medicinal wine when he had nothing to do, and Li Mu who thanked her and declined her invitation to join Qin, he was a living person with flesh and blood, with his own thoughts, emotions and ambitions.

If possible, Zhao Weizhen hopes that Mr. Pingyuan can live a few more years, even if the position is different.

but……

In the past few months when he was seriously ill, Zhao Weizhen and his father often came to visit him.Mr. Pingyuan's headache became more and more serious, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. When it was the worst, he even couldn't speak clearly.

This is a very typical cerebral infarction symptom.

Being able to survive such a time is already regarded as the fate of Lord Pingyuan.

Zhao Weizhen doesn't know medical skills, let alone how to deal with cerebral infarction under the productivity of the pre-Qin period.

How could Zhao Weizhen not be sad to see an elder leave him?

She lowered her eyes, avoided Mr. Pingyuan's gaze, and tried her best to hide her feelings.

But such a gesture has already made Mr. Pingyuan understand her thoughts.

Not only was he not angry, but he took the initiative to comfort him: "Don't be sad, I know best how my own body is doing."

Saying that, Mr. Pingyuan sighed.

"Meng Kai." He asked, "If I had persuaded your father to marry you to the crown prince back then, would the situation be completely different now?"

Zhao Weizhen was slightly taken aback.

Then she came to her senses, turned her head to the side, and asked instead of answering: "Your Majesty, without me, would the State of Zhao be able to defeat the State of Qin?"

Mr. Pingyuan was really questioned.

"I know what your majesty is afraid of, it's just because I gave the blueprint of the harness to Qin, and the king of Qin built a heavy cavalry army." Zhao Weizhen said again: "But I want to ask, the harness on the heavy cavalry , is it difficult to replicate?"

"It's not difficult."

Mr. Pingyuan responded: "Old General Lian Po said that you can imitate it with just one glance. Although your idea is ingenious, it is not difficult to manufacture."

Zhao Weizhen: "But why didn't one of the six countries follow suit and build the same heavy cavalry army?"

Mr. Pingyuan's expression gradually became serious.

"A concubine can't really do much." Zhao Weizhen said calmly: "A concubine can fight for the favor of the King of Qin for herself, but without concubines, without heavy cavalry, history will continue to progress."

Other countries are not unable to build a heavy cavalry army, but they cannot train an unprecedented army in such a short period of time like Qin.

This involves not only harnesses, but also various countries' military capabilities, food production, resource reserves, and personnel training.

Zhao Weizhen knows that harnesses are very useful, but she also knows that she is nothing in the torrent of history.

She can add to the icing on the cake, but Zhao Weizhen claims that she is not that capable if she wants to help in a timely manner, or even turn the tide.

Without Shang Yang's reforms and the pacification of Bashu, how could Qin have the strength to use horse gear to build a heavy cavalry army?

Without a large population and fields, where can we use the Quyuan plow to cultivate the land?

Zhao Weizhen always believes that history is created by capable and great people together with the common people. The prosperity and change of dynasties are also accumulated from generation to generation, and there are objective reasons.

She is just a young man, how could she resist the wheel of history by herself.

Mr. Pingyuan was silent for a long time, and finally had to make a positive response.

"You're right." Mr. Pingyuan sighed, "It's unrealistic to rely on you alone to change the status quo."

"Your Majesty, don't think about these things."

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help suggesting: "It's better to take care of your body first."

Mr. Pingyuan: "What are you going to do next? Prince Zheng of the Qin State, you can't leave Handan for non-important reasons."

Zhao Weizhen shuddered.

This... This is the promise to send her and her father away!

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Weizhen was extremely surprised.

"how."

Mr. Pingyuan said angrily: "Isn't that why you came here? Can I still let that kid Zhao Yan really kill your father and daughter?"

In terms of feelings, Mr. Pingyuan's feelings for Zhao Liang's father and daughter are much deeper than those for the foolish son of the young master Yan.

After making it clear that the son will be useless in the future, Mr. Pingyuan also hopes that there will be less trouble.

But his concession gave Zhao Weizhen a ready life.

Zhao Weizhen took a deep breath, pushed his hands forward in front of his chest, and made a very standard salute.

"Meng Kui thank you for your success!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her head: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Qin will send news soon."

Mr. Pingyuan: "How do you know?"

"When your lord was seriously ill, the king of Qin sent 20 troops to conquer the state of Wei." Zhao Weizhen talked eloquently: "The question is, do we need so many people to fight against the dying state of Wei? My concubine thinks that the original intention of the king of Qin is to take advantage of the east wind of the strong national power." , ready to defeat Wei, and then attack South Korea, so that Han and Wei will also submit to Qin."

Mr. Pingyuan frowned immediately.

When you think about it carefully, it is true.

It's not that Mr. Pingyuan didn't expect it, but that he just recovered from a serious illness and didn't have the energy to pay attention to what happened in the past few months.

I am afraid that King Qin originally wanted to fight far more than Han and Wei, and even Zhao was in his calculations.

Otherwise, why design Chunpinghou to flee to Wei State at this juncture?This is a ready-made reason.

"Since that's the case, why didn't the king of Qin make any movement after defeating Wei?" Lord Pingyuan asked.

"The concubine just received a message..."

Zhao Weizhen thought it over, and decided to tell Lord Pingyuan about this matter: "Qin Wangji is also sick, just like the king."
