The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

The news of the Qin army's sudden dispatch of troops broke the peace before the start of the autumn harvest in all countries. Not only Yewang City, but also the surrounding counties and counties were alarmed by the news and came to inquire about the news one after another.

Yewang City is not the only passage between Qin and Zhao. The Qin army chose to start from here, which may not have the purpose of frightening this surrendered land with a large army.Of course, another important factor is that Yewang City is the junction of Qin State and South Korea, and news from here can reach South Korea immediately.

South Korea is small and weak, and has been forced to serve as cannon fodder all year round, so it is very sensitive to the mobilization of the army. It is also close to Qin, the number one rogue country in the Warring States Period, and other countries naturally have the need for South Korea to deliver news.This matter is not a secret of the six eastern countries. If the six eastern countries know about it, it is certainly not a secret to the people of old Qin.

Information operation is a two-way thing. The information you get is true or false. There are things that others don’t want you to know, and there are things that others want you to know. How to analyze and look at it is to see who has the upper hand.

And now, King Qin intends to send this news out.

The army made no secrets from its departure to its arrival at Yewang City.Just when ordinary people like Lu An got the news, the news that Qin's intention to send troops was unknown had been delivered to the desks of the major princes and states. Almost instantly, all the princes and kings were ignited by this news.

Now is the time of the autumn harvest. According to the tacit understanding of the countries, there will be no war before the autumn harvest. Unless the war has become fierce and cannot be stopped, the war usually starts at the end of autumn and early winter when there is nothing to do.The reason is very simple. In the farming era, no matter how hard your head is, you have to eat. If you want to eat, you must ensure spring plowing and autumn harvest. Otherwise, if you win a war, you will face starvation.

Has Qin finally lost his mind this time?Why would you send troops at this time?

Where did they get the rations?I'm afraid I didn't take out all my books!

That's right, where did they get the rations?

The state of Zhao, which had been stalemate with the state of Qin for several years, has now run out of ammunition and food. In addition to the reason of running out of food and missing spring plowing, there is also the land wasted due to the reduction of labor force.If there is no accident, there is no way to slow down this barrenness in three or four years.

The situation of Qin State should be better than that of Zhao State, but it is also limited. How could it come out at such a critical time?unless……

"The purpose of the Qin army's troops may not be to seize land."

At the door-keep meeting held by Prince Pingyuan, Zhao Sheng, a door-keeper said after being silent: "Nowadays, the autumn grains of the eastern countries have hardly started to harvest. I think that the Qin army may want to snatch the crops that have just been harvested or have not yet been harvested." Harvest the autumn grain to fill the treasury."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked, but the rest were all dumbfounded. Without him, this guess is too outrageous.

Suddenly sending troops to seize food for no reason, this matter will be despised no matter which country it happens in. This is a complete banditry. The rogue behavior of the dog army and the Huns in the north.

"Even if it is the Qin State... such a move is too stupid." Another disciple expressed his objection. He thought that Qin State had made some excuses for sending troops to seize land before, which showed that they still wanted face (although These excuses themselves are shameless enough).But the situation of robbing food is completely different. Seizing a city for some reason can be said to be revenge, and robbing food is naked looting.

The purpose is different, the means are different, and the meaning is naturally different.

If they really intend to do so, then Qin will lose the hearts of the people of the whole world, and the officials of Qin will not tolerate such a robber country that they serve, and the people of insight in the world will not go to Qin again. It's different from breaking your own way.

Therefore, he believes that the Qin State must not be trying to snatch food and grass.

However, his idea was quickly refuted, because if what he said was true, then when the King of Qin detained the King of Chu as a hostage and demanded that the Kingdom of Chu cede the land, the Kingdom of Qin should be finished.

But in fact?

It has been nearly 50 years since that moment. Under the leadership of this shameless king of Qin, the national power of Qin State has been soaring like wings. The land area of ​​Qin State has been expanding all the way, and the talents of Qin State have also more and more.

After one kidnapping of the country's main family to cede land, the King of Qin wanted to send people to snatch it because there was no food in the country. Would it be surprising?

——Would it be more rogue to grab a piece of food than to kidnap the country's lord?And if Qin is not for grabbing food, what is the purpose of sending troops?

Qin Guo is now waiting to receive the "indemnity" after Zhao Guo's defeat. It should be okay to poke Zhao Guo to drive people into a hurry, and took a large piece of land in South Korea. According to the iron law theory of the Warring States Period, it will not continue Staring at a country to pluck hair.

So, what did the old Qin people want to do when they suddenly mobilized their troops?

Zhao Sheng didn't look at it, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were tightly squeezed.

These guests couldn't guess the reason why Qin Jun sent the army, but he... had a vague guess.

The spies in Qin State have sent news that Ying Yiren has arrived in Qin State.As an heir who has been away all the year round, if he wants to regain his own identity and status, what will he do?

There is no doubt that he immediately showed his value, and the greatest value of Ying Yiren was that he had been a hostage in Zhao State. He knew many secrets of Zhao State, and he was likely to sense that Zhao State was going to renege on his debts, and United with the five eastern countries to resist Qin.

This news is indeed a secret, even Zhao Sheng's closest guests don't know, but what if?If someone else noticed this sign through clues and told the king of Qin, of course the king of Qin would be angry and send troops.

Combining the time when the foreigner returned to Qin and the preparation time of the army, Zhao Sheng felt that the possibility was extremely high, and the irrefutable evidence was the sudden escape of the foreigner.

If he believed Zhao Guoguo would send him back to Qin, why did he run away?Wouldn't it be better to be sent back respectfully?The reason why Yiren wanted to run away could only be that he found that it was impossible for Zhao Guo to send him back, and he realized that there would be no good fruit to eat if he continued to stay.

Zhao Sheng clenched his fist with one hand, he suddenly stood up, waved his sleeves, and said: "I want to meet the king."

what?

All the disciples looked at each other and expressed their bewilderment when they saw him walking away in a flick of sleeves.

Why is Mr. Pingyuan so nervous?Even if Qin State wants to plunder food and grass, will they still rob Zhao State?Now everyone in the world knows that Zhao Guo has no surplus food in his pocket and is clinking with poverty. Even if Qin Guo came to grab it, what he would see would be an empty granary.

This time Qin sent troops should be most irrelevant to their Zhao country.

However, a few of the guests showed strange expressions at this time. Seeing the guests who were discussing without a clue, their expressions gradually sank.

Although the news has spread to distant countries, in fact, at this time, the Qin army has just begun to leave from the pass of Yewang City.

As ordinary people who now belong to the state of Qin, and it was the leisure time before the autumn harvest, everyone went to the street to watch the scene of the Qin army traveling, and Lu An was no exception.

He, Zhao Ji's family, and several young people who had come to look for them all stood on the side of the street to watch the excitement.It was already late when they arrived, and the good viewing angles had already been seized by others. Fortunately, Lu An was small and people were more tolerant of children. He quickly stood in the golden position at the front of the crowd. superior.

I saw that the regular army of the Qin State was all armored and sharpened, and even the horses were covered with a layer of leather armor, and their steps were steady and murderous.The military flag they held this time was the [Wang] character flag, and the leader should be Wang Yan, who was taken flying by Bai Qi in the Battle of Changping.

Several people in the onlookers secretly gasped, surprised that it was actually Qin's elite troops who were dispatched this time.They were calm on the face but panic was unavoidable in their hearts, and they yelled in their hearts that something was wrong.

Lu An was full of excitement watching the army pass by like a torrent. Boys naturally love armor, but there is always a trace of inexplicable regret in his excitement, and he always feels that something is missing.

Young people who grow up in modern society will always have a subtle feeling similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder towards soldiers wearing military uniforms. Comfortable.

In the long-term cognition, Chinese teenagers in the new era feel that once they wear military uniforms and walk, they must keep their backs straight and their heads held high. The rubbing sound of clothes is a part of the voice, and it makes people feel comfortable wholeheartedly.

Although he had lost his memory, Lu Xiaopang, who still had this instinct, touched his chin and felt that Qin Jun, who was walking by like this, was a bit listless, especially when they were wearing heavy black.

Qin Guo worshiped black, and today's battle armor is mainly leather armor, so the armor of the regular army of the Qin Army is smeared with black paint, and it looks like a torrent of black at a glance.Of course, there are some exceptions. The officers of the Qin State all use armor pieces painted with colorful patterns on the chest and back, which are particularly eye-catching in a string of black lacquer.This is to facilitate the soldiers of Qin State to find their commander in the first place during the battle, and it is also a proof of glory.

Lu An looked left and right, it was the first time he had seen such a scene, it was novel, his eyes suddenly froze, he saw Lu Buwei who was riding a horse and walking slowly with the army.

After being separated for several months, his father lost a lot of weight and his cheekbones protruded a bit, but his eyes were bright, as if there were two small torches shining with fighting spirit inside, and he looked very good.

Lu An wanted to call out, but hesitated.Before his father left, he once told him that he was going to do a very dangerous and secret thing. Lu Xiaoan felt that his father must hide his identity just like in the story book. Danger?

But, but daddy is going to fight, if, if...

Lu An, who was thinking a lot, squeezed his robe with his small fleshy hands, his eye circles were red and he didn't dare to make a sound.Maybe it was the nature of father and son, or maybe his eyes were too hot, but Lu Buwei turned his head, and his eyes steadily caught the tearful and aggrieved son who was standing at the forefront of the crowd, who was separated by a queue.

As soon as his eyes lit up, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and Lu Buwei moved his lips, "An'er?"

Lu An, who had been watching him, caught this movement and immediately jumped on the spot. The young boy with round eyes hurriedly waved at Lu Buwei who was riding on the horse, and shouted: "Daddy!"

His strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. Yewangcheng had just been merged into the Qin State. Of course, there would be no soldiers from Yewangcheng in this elite army of the Qin army, so the crowd who came to watch also Just watching and not seeing off.At this moment, a particularly excited and rather abrupt person suddenly appeared in this group of melon-eaters, and when they saw that it was the latest storyteller, everyone's mood became even more complicated.

Especially the few young people who were traveling together, they all looked a little regretful when they saw the Qin Army officer on horseback waving at Lu An.

These people originally thought that Lu An was just a resident of Yewang City to escape the war. Seeing that the young man was talented and studied under a famous teacher, he expected that his future would definitely be promising, and they even tried to invite him to study in their country. Can leave behind his idea of ​​becoming an official in the future.

But now...it seems impossible.

Lu An didn't know what the friends he had just met were thinking, so he focused all his attention on his father.

The speed of the soldiers was not slow, and Lu Buwei was riding a horse again, and he quickly passed his position.In the end, the man just gave him a deep look, then turned his head and looked forward, without a single word of advice, and even waved behind his back, which is very annoying.

Lu An pouted, and immediately put eye drops on his father in front of his mother at night, "Daddy is so bad, if he wrote to us earlier and told us, then Ann would stand on the opposite street, at least, At least I can say a few words with my father..."

Mrs. Lu put down her half-stitched clothes, looked at her pitiful son who was clearly suing the whole person, and thought of the way his son encouraged her to get back together a year ago when the father and son first met, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

"An'er wants to see Daddy?"

Lu An was silent for a while, and finally replied honestly, "I think about it."

When Lu Buwei was away, he was the only man in the family, and he had to consider a lot more than before. Although the little man usually doesn't talk about it, he is actually under a lot of pressure.

So even though daddy is very bad, Lu An still hoped that daddy would come back sooner, even if his ass was big by his daddy.

His appearance is really pitiful and cute, like a young rabbit with drooping ears, Madam Lu couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and she did the same, "Daddy should be back soon, An'er, wait a minute." good?"

Lu An nodded immediately, but after a while, he leaned into Mrs. Lu's ear and whispered: "But Mom, I think it's my younger brother who is more unlucky. At least daddy came to see us. My younger brother's daddy hasn't seen him for a long time. La!"

As he said that, the child who got happiness from the comparison sighed, and said seriously that these adults are too unreliable, and made a bold statement that he will definitely be a very, very responsible father in the future!It made Madam Lu laugh so hard.

But in fact this time he really blamed the two fathers.

The sudden entrustment of an official position was not what Lu Buwei expected. After that suggestion, he followed Yiren as a husband.

It is said that it is a gentleman, but in fact it is just an aide.

After Yiren returned to the Qin Dynasty, there were many things to learn again, and Mrs. Huayang sent many gentlemen to this "son" to teach him knowledge.In this matter, Lu Buwei is actually unable to help.

Lu Buwei knew very well that Mrs. Huayang did it on purpose.He followed the son Yiren all the way, and his position in Yiren's heart was too important. For Mrs. Huayang, the benefactor in Yiren's heart should not be him, but herself, so as to ensure the maximum return on her investment.

But Lu Buwei's help to Yiren is real. Mrs. Huayang has no ability to pull Lu Buwei out of Yiren's heart, and it is impossible for her to bury a knot in Yiren's heart at this critical moment.

The solution is very simple, isn't Lu Buwei the stranger's husband?Then send real teachers, two if one is not enough, three if two are not enough.

As long as there are enough people around Yiren, how can a Lu Buwei who doesn't understand Qin's situation get any benefits?

This plan was very effective. Lu Buwei's seat in the hall gradually moved to the back with the arrival of these highly respected people, and he became more and more silent. The people sent to investigate found that he was now rarely able to talk to strangers.

And just when this fringe plan was going smoothly, King Qin suddenly summoned Lu Buwei, and when he came back from meeting King Qin, he had already been appointed as a doctor to go out with the army.

The doctor is the fifth rank in the Qin army, with an annual salary of 250 shi, which is different from the soldiers and belongs to the lowest rank of officers. This start is not bad, but it is indeed low. Its attitude towards Lu Buwei.

If it's not good, at least no one started from ordinary soldiers.

To put it bluntly... the official title is also a bit low.

Although Mrs. Huayang felt a little regretful that her plan was interrupted, she also knew very well that Lu Buwei was a foreigner's auxiliary force, after all, she was her own.For one's own people, there should be some compassion and support.

Therefore, on the second day when Lu Buwei received the order, he also received Mrs. Huayang's special order for the family to prepare a set of armor and weapons.Lu Buwei, who was suddenly appointed when the army was about to start, was naturally unprepared. Mrs. Huayang's armor really relieved his urgent needs.

For this gift, Lu Buwei would come to thank him.In front of Yiren, the two behaved extremely amicably, but in private Lu Buwei immediately warned Ying Yiren that before he came back, do not contact Zhao Ji in private.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the stranger, Lu Buwei told him the news he found out solemnly and coldly, "Mrs. Huayang is looking at the noble daughter of the family."

Mrs. Huayang herself is a Chu daughter. Whether it is for her own stable life in the future or for the interests of the family, she must firmly control that other people have no second thoughts about her.And to control a man, there is nothing more effective than controlling his women and children.

However, the strange man already had a woman in distress and an eldest son, which hindered Mrs. Huayang's plan at this point.

The division between wives and concubines, the eldest son and the concubine is absolute and insurmountable in the age of blood aristocrats, and whenever someone tries to cross this line, the ending is not very happy.

So as long as there are Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng, even if Mrs. Huayang gave birth to a child of Chu girl arranged by another person, she will not be the heir of another person even if she is favored. Then Mrs. Huayang's ultimate goal will not be realized.

Although Lu Buwei knew that Mrs. Huayang was a smart person, and he was [-]% sure that she would not do stupid things to anger other people at this sensitive moment, but in the end, he had to take precautions before they happened.

After all, when a person dies, he really loses everything, and there is no chance of regretting this matter.

The other person already understood Lu Buwei's unfinished words, his eyes were suddenly sharp as blades, and a cluster of dark flames burned quietly in the depths of the pupils.

"Young Master, since you have endured it, you must endure it to the end."

Lu Buwei raised his eyes and looked at the silent man quietly: "If you don't endure to the end, then all the previous patience is worthless."

The stranger trembled when he heard the words, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and when he opened his eyes again, he had recovered his usual gentle and cowardly image, "Mr. Xie for teaching."

He looked at Lu Buwei and said, "Sir, take care of yourself and come back as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my lord." Lu Buwei's eyes were burning, "I will definitely not return empty-handed."

After that, Lu Buwei and Wang Heli cooperated tacitly with each other, and for the first time did not use the method of direct combat. Instead, they used the method of splitting the five eastern countries to prevent their plan to aid Zhao. He brought back the six cities promised by Zhao Guo.

In addition, he also brought back one city each from Wei, Han, and Chu as his sincere apology for helping Zhao. King Qin was overjoyed and named him Shao Shangzao, ranking No. 15 in Qin's title.

Lu Buwei officially embarked on the official stage of Qin State as a merchant.

The author has something to say:

Suddenly I feel that the last sentence is very suitable for the end of the whole play... Cough cough cough

No, I said nonsense, I dare not.

Today we come to 818 about spoiling concubines and destroying wives.

You all know that King You of Zhou destroyed his country because of the war with the princes, but you don’t know that the main reason for his death was that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.

King Zhou You loved Baosi's son Ji Bofu, so he abolished his queen and prince, making Baosi the queen and Ji Bofu the prince.

The original queen's mother's family was Shenhou. Of course, the former prince was not reconciled to being deposed, so he went to find his grandfather Shenhou. The Shenhou family is a family that has a good relationship with Quan Rong in the Zhou Dynasty for a long time. Of course, they are helping the emperor of Zhou. .The daughter and grandson were very angry when they were deposed, so they joined forces with the dog army to launch a rebellion and killed King Zhou You.Later, the princes got the news and rushed to Haojing to drive Quan Rong away. The prince came to the throne first, and then the capital was moved.

But in the final analysis, the first prince was a man who joined forces with dogs to kill his father, while the Zhou Dynasty was a country of ritual and music. Since then, the princes no longer recognized the sacred status of the emperor of Zhou, and the Spring and Autumn Period began.

The princes have made themselves kings one after another.

If it's just that the princes of the Fenghuo opera didn't die so quickly, the main reason is that he abolished his wife.

So doting on concubines and destroying wives is absolutely unacceptable——(heartbreaking)
