Chapter 59 Section 3 Zhang Yi's ingenious solution to the first problem with double tubes of light and dark

In the middle of the night, the long street in Yingdu has been cut off from pedestrians, vehicles and horses, and even the lights of the night market in the past are gone. Qin and Chu were feuding, and a war was about to start. Yingdu was panicked, and he would stay at home when it got dark.In addition, after the defeat of the Central Plains, the borders were sealed off one after another, and the number of merchants entering the Chu State was greatly reduced. The government officials who were used to having fun at night also did not dare to visit guests because of the tense situation in the court.In less than half a year, Yingdu was in an unprecedented depression.

On the long street in the quiet night, there was a purple-covered cart with a tight four sides, scurrying around, and drove to the side door of a prominent mansion.The driver in the purple gown got out of the car, stepped forward and slammed on the door three times, but it was one heavy and two light.The wooden door opened a crack, and a snow-white head protruded out. The driver in the purple shirt whispered a few words, and the carriage door next to him was silently opened.The caravan drove in briskly, and the tall carriage doors were silently closed again. Zhaoju has been living in a slum for several months, and the reason is that "the old illness has occurred, and I can't afford to stay on the couch".After washing up every day, he would take a stroll by the pool which is two or three acres in size, and he would still be walking leisurely even when the moon was in the sky.When the six countries joined forces, he strongly recommended Zilan as the general to lead the army. He believed that it was impossible for the Qin State to defeat the 480,000 coalition forces. As long as the coalition forces won the first battle, he would get rid of Zhang Yi's control and become the Chu State A powerful minister!At that time, eliminating Qu Yuan, Huang Xie and his group of young men was effortless, and it was even easier to control the mediocre and incompetent Mi Huai.After a few rounds, Zhaoju could become the regent of Chu State. After more than ten or eight years, it is almost beyond doubt that the Zhao family replaced the Mi family and became the royal family of Chu.Who would have thought that they would be defeated in the first battle, and the general situation would be reversed immediately.Zi Lan became the general of the defeated army, according to the old rules of Chu State: if the army loses 50,000 soldiers, the general will be executed!Those who recommend generals must also be dismissed from office!The king of Chu cursed endlessly, the government and the public were full of vengeance, and Qu Yuan, Huang Xie and his group of reformists were even more clamorous, wanting to "kill Zilan, get rid of Zhaoju, and thank the world!" The king of Chu reluctantly ceded two hundred miles of the Zhao family's fief to the royal family secretly, and promised not to ask about the government. This catastrophe is really hard to escape.After learning from the pain, all the mistakes lie in one point: I underestimated Qin!If it hadn't been for underestimating the Qin State, it could have opposed sending troops at the beginning, or just said it was sick, wouldn't it be logical to eliminate this group of new political enemies now?It is precisely because of underestimating the state of Qin and taking the leadership of his own people that the political opponents revived and the Zhao family fell into a quagmire...

"Report to Ling Yin: The secret envoy from the West is asking to see you." Zhaoju was agitated, but quickly calmed down again: "Lead into the hut in the bamboo forest, patrol around, and no one is allowed to approach the hut." "Yes." The boss turned around and walked quickly. After a while, the two purple-shirted guests were led by the manager to the thatched hut in the bamboo grove by the pool—the moonlight was dim, but Zhao Ju with frost and snow was sitting on the porch with a bamboo stick, like a fairy from the world. "See Old Ling Yin." The leader of the Zishan guest bowed deeply, seeing Zhaoju's silence, the Zishan guest said: "This envoy is Ying Hua, the prince of Qin, and he is a pedestrian. He is ordered by my king and the prime minister. I am here to pay a visit to Old Ling Yin."

Zhaoju's heart skipped a beat, this person had a sword fight with Zilan, how could he not remember?It's just that he never imagined that this person is the son of the King Qin's family, and he is a pedestrian!As a secret envoy, it is rare for him to disclose his original identity. It seems that Qin must have something important to ask.He smiled lightly and said: "The old man knows the young master, so he will speak up when he has something to say." "King of Qin issued an edict: I am the prime minister entering Chu, please take care of the old Ling Yin, and I will repay you later."

"How? Zhang Yi is coming to Chu?" Zhaoju was so surprised that his old voice trembled. "Exactly, we will arrive in Yingdu in three days." Zhaoju sneered suddenly: "Zhang Yi threw himself into the trap, the old man is helpless." "Old Ling Yin, the Zhao clan is in dire straits. Without the help of the Qin State, they may be wiped out." "Young Master is alarmist." Zhaoju sneered lightly: "The sixth generation of the Zhao family is prosperous, and the current small setback has been passed safely, so why is there such a catastrophe? Why do we need help from others?"

"Being tyrannical is of no benefit." Ying Hua said with a smile: "Old Ling Yin should understand that if Su Qin goes south soon, the Zhao family will be in great trouble. If there is no Zhang Yi to contend with Su Qin, the situation in Chu State may be reversed." It's over." "The old man would like to hear how King Qin will repay me?" "Within one year, Lao Lingyin will be the regent of Chu State." Zhaoju laughed loudly: "The King of Qin thought he was the King of Chu?" "The King of Qin is definitely not the King of Chu, but he can even decide the life and death of the Zhao clan."

"The old man would like to hear about King Qin's methods." "Return Fangling for three hundred miles, stop troops with Chu State, repair with Qu Yuan and Huang Xie's new sect, attack from inside and outside, prompt Chu King to wipe out the old family of Chu State by the roots. What does Old Ling Yin think?" Zhaoju let out a long sigh: "The old man's heart is just that he doesn't want to be coerced by others." "The two sides form an alliance, and both sides benefit, so why talk about coercion? Old Ling Yin is too worried." Zhaoju stood up tremblingly: "Okay, the old man will do his best, but the young master has to work hard."

"But according to old Ling Yin's orders." Zhaoju whispered for a while, and Ying Hua nodded repeatedly. At twilight the next day, the water gate in Yingdu was about to close, but a small boat floated over, showed Dr. Jin Shang's gift token, and drifted out of the water gate, drifting into a vast ocean.The small boat drifted in the vast ocean for an entire hour, and it was not until the moon was on the east mountain that it turned around and sailed towards the north bank of Yunmengze.Looking at the big stone pier near the shore, a man in white clothes stepped out of the cabin, standing calmly at the bow of the ship facing the wind, looking extraordinarily chic under the moonlight.

"What a beautiful little brother! Jin Shang is very polite." There was a person on the bank with a crown and a sword, but his laughter was quite frivolous. "Jin Shang, how about the things I gave you?" The man in white was very reserved. "Brother has a heart, that thing is too expensive, Jin Shang is really flattered." "How noisy is that? Let's go." "Brother, go slowly, there are two more words to say." Jin Shang smiled sweetly: "To tell you the truth, since I came with Zhang Yi last time, the princess has been nagging, and I want my brother to be with Jin Shang. Together, being the bodyguard of the princess and also a Chinese doctor is much more beautiful than being a servant of Zhang Yi. The princess also said that if the little brother is not satisfied, just ask for a price."

"Is there anything else?" A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the man in white. Jin Shang trembled involuntarily: "Big, that's roughly the case, what do you think, little brother?" "Don't worry about it, I will tell the princess. Let's go." "Okay, come with me, little brother, let's go." Jin Shang chattered courteously as he walked: "Little brother, the princess has a prince, and she is even more beautiful. The water is as white and tender as a fairy. It's really delicious, your little one." My brother is luckier than me, Jin Shang."

The man in white suddenly stood still, and fixed his eyes on the handsome and intelligent Chinese doctor: "Jin Shang, if you do my job well, I will fulfill your wish. I have no interest. Otherwise, I will let the king of Chu die alive." about you!" Jin Shang was shocked: "Yes, yes, the villain understands! Young Master? You, aren't you Zhang Yi's servant?" "Stop making noise! ​​Lead the way." In an instant, Jin Shang's frivolity disappeared without a trace, and he was as docile as a sheep, leading the way forward. When he arrived at the bright courtyard corridor in front of the mountain, Jin Shang took small steps gently to report up. "I don't know that the nobleman is here, come in quickly." A moment later, a pleasantly surprised Rouni's laughter came from the hall, and a graceful figure came out to greet her lightly. "I will see the princess next time." The man in white bowed deeply.Zheng Xiu smiled and supported him: "My dear brother, do you know? You are my nobleman! When I came last time, I had a prince, and the king said all day long that I would like to thank my brother. Come on, come in." Entering the comfortable and elegant hall, a maid gently and neatly brought tea up.The man in white sat across from Zheng Xiu, and a man in black standing behind him held a box in awe.Jin Shang also stood behind Zheng Xiu seat with a smile, but looked around from time to time.Zheng Xiu glanced at the man in white and said with a smile: "Do you know? Zhenzedong camellia, green and fragrant, Qin doesn't have it." "Wu Cha is famous all over the world, I would like to thank the princess for her kindness." "It's good to know, I never serve them tea." Zheng Xiu's eyes suddenly had a strange light: "Brother, go to Chu State, I guarantee you to be a high official." The white-clothed man's eyes flashed, but he laughed loudly: "To tell you the truth, my concubine, I am the prince of Qin, Ying Hua. As a royal family, he is an official and a pedestrian, so he can't help himself." The strange thing is that Zheng Xiu didn't feel embarrassed at all, but was pleasantly surprised: "I really don't know! That's right, how can other people have such a scene? No matter who you are, I look pleasing to the eye, but it's a pity. " "Princess, one day Yinghua loses power in Qin State, so he will come to Chu State." "Understood! Qin State is still unreliable, you see, I will not lose power in Chu State." "My concubine is on a mission! Ying Hua is here because he was sent by the prime minister to report a secret message to the concubine." "Zhang Yi? Got it, let's talk about it." Ying Hua sternly said: "The State of Qin wants to make peace with the State of Chu, and proposes to return Chu's Fangling for three hundred miles, but the King of Chu does not want Fangling, but only Zhang Yi. How can the King of Qin be willing to let his prime minister die? So, the King of Qin kept secret Twenty beauties were selected, ten of them were stunning beauties, and they were to be given to the King of Chu in exchange for the fact that the King of Chu would no longer hate Zhang Yi. The prime minister thought of his long history with the princess, so he sent me to secretly report to the princess. Qin Hu beauties Entering Chu, how can the princess be at peace?" Zheng Xiu's bright face suddenly dimmed: "Is Qin Hunu on the road?" Ying Hua pinched his fingers and calculated silently: "We will be on the road in three days." "Understood. If the king of Chu changes his mind, can the king of Qin cancel Qin Hu's entry into Chu? Will Zhang Yi come to Chu to form an alliance?" "The Prime Minister has arrived at Hangu Pass and is ready to enter Chu at any time." Zheng Xiu sighed: "Understood, Zhang Yi is a good person." "The prime minister gave the concubine two gifts and presented them here." Ying Hua took an exquisite copper box and opened it: "This is a jade pillow from the blue field. The beauty is that the two ends are bright red and the middle is green. It has a special brilliance at night!" He picked it up again. A simple pottery vase: "This is a strong medicine for the king of Chu. The princess will surely have many children and good fortune." Zheng Xiu smiled lightly, fondling the Lantian jade pillow, he couldn't put it down, but suddenly turned around, "Wow!" and smashed the vase to the ground with a loud sound!Jin Shang quickly ran over in small steps, crawled on the ground to pick up the fragments and pills, Zheng Xiu giggled for a long time, and nodded Jin Shang's forehead: "Jin Shang, do you know? This pill will be yours in the future! Hahahaha ..." Three days later, Zhang Yi's special envoy entered the state of Chu with great fanfare. As soon as the Huai River was crossed, the two banners of "Special Envoy of Qin State" and "Prime Minister Zhang Yi" attracted people from Chu along the road to watch, wanting to see what the prime minister of Qin State looked like.Zhang Yi calmly sat under the six-foot canopy, allowing others to point out, laugh at and scold, but she remained calm.The guard of honor of the horse team also marched expressionlessly, seeming to have completely lost consciousness of the movement on the side of the road.Kankan marched to a sparsely populated place more than a hundred miles away from Yingdu, but saw smoke and dust rising in the face, and a cavalry team galloped towards it!Zhang Yi stomped lightly, and the guard of honor stopped beside a forest beside the road. Laiqi is approaching, but it is the "Shangsha" knight led by Ying Hua.As soon as Zhang Yi's chariots and horses left Hangu Pass, Ying Hua led two capable operators of the Black Ice Terrace to fly ahead.On the night of arriving in Yingdu, Ying Hua immediately pointed out all kinds of rare treasures that had been hoarded in the trading company for many years for emergency use, and sent a group of "veteran merchants" from the trading company to visit the important ministers of Chu State with various precious gifts to find out what happened; Afterwards, he personally visited Zhaoju and Zhengxiu's two key points. After the two things were done, he happened to get a secret report from Zhang Yi that he was going to Huaishui, so he led the "Shangshe" cavalry team to welcome them. Zhang Yi and Ying Hua had a private conversation in the woods for an hour, and after everything was settled, the soldiers and their horses finished eating, and immediately set off for Yingdu.The journey was neither fast nor slow, and arrived at the north gate of Yingdu at dusk.At this time, all the official offices of the Chu Palace have been closed, and the guards at the city gate and the officials on duty are also released and prohibited according to the usual practice.The entry of the special envoy of the Qin State to Chu was originally a major event. In ordinary daytime, he could only be welcomed into the city according to the etiquette after the urgent report to the Ling Yin's mansion or the king's decision.The guard of honor of Zhang Yi's motorcade came suddenly, and the city gate generals and sergeants, like the people of the country, also heard that the king of Chu wanted to kill Zhang Yi for revenge. Although he looked sideways at the people of Qin, he did not receive an order. Who would dare to be rude to the special envoy of this big tiger and wolf country? ? "Let go—!" General Beimen finally shouted loudly. According to the common practice in the world, five hundred horse teams camped outside the city, and Zhang Yi only led 20 guard swordsmen and a few officials into Yingdu.Seeing that he was the special envoy of the State of Qin, the postman did not dare to neglect, and immediately arranged for him to be in the most spacious courtyard.Yinghua's "commercial company" has bought out all the officials in the post house for many years. As soon as a group of people moved in, meals and tea were delivered to each room.But Yinghua called Yi Cheng and told him: "From tomorrow onwards, this courtyard will cook by itself, don't let it out to the outside world, I will thank you very much." Yi Cheng repeatedly agreed to Dian Dian'er and went.After everything was arranged properly, Zhang Yi fell into a sound sleep.Fei Yun said that Ying Hua was tired and insisted on letting her rest, but she didn't dare to be careless, and insisted on guarding outside Zhang Yi's bedroom at night until Dongfang Ming. Early in the morning, King Huai of Chu was awakened by his servants from his sleep, and he was very displeased: "It's not early, what's the noise? Get out!" The waiter panicked and said: "Report to my king: Zhang Yi of the Qin Kingdom is asking to see him outside the palace." King Huai of Chu turned over and sat up: "How is it? Zhang Yi is here? When did you come?" The servant said in a low voice: "I just heard that they entered the city last night." "What a Zhang Yi who is not afraid of death!" King Huai of Chu stood up immediately: "Change clothes!" But when he was fully dressed, King Huai of Chu hesitated.Ever since he insisted on asking Qin Guo for Zhang Yi, he has been waiting for the king of Qin to hand over Zhang Yi, urging Qu Yuan and the others to mobilize their troops, and urging Chun Shenjun and the others to instigate Qi. It has been many days since the court meeting was held.The rules of the early court at Maoshi were also abolished shortly after he ascended the throne.Dawn and early morning are the most precious to him, tossing and tossing with the bright and tender Zheng Xiu all night, those few hours are the time to sleep soundly.But Zheng Xiu took the little prince to another palace these few days, King Huai of Chu couldn't bear to be lonely, so he spent most of the night watching the two maids in bed, and he still felt dizzy when he stood up.But King Huai of Chu's hesitation was not here, but really did not expect Zhang Yi to dare to come?I never thought about how to kill Zhang Yi when he came?He had only one thought: Zhang Yi would never dare to come, he must grab King Qin and demand Zhang Yi!Now Zhang Yi suddenly came in front of him, should he kill him immediately?It doesn't seem right either.He suddenly thought: To kill Zhang Yi, there must be a grand revenge ceremony, at least all the ministers must be present, worship the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Temple and then kill Zhang Yi!Otherwise, how can there be a king's majesty?How to revive the glory of Chu?But right now, Qu Yuan is out training soldiers, Huang Xie is out negotiating with the state of Qi, Zhaoju and a group of old ministers have been sick all the time, and all of a sudden early morning, only some petty officials came, so killing Zhang Yi quietly, wouldn't it be a big loss of prestige ? "The gatekeeper of the Chuanling Palace, let Zhang Yi enter the palace alone and wait in the Dongpian Palace!" King Huai of Chu finally made up his mind. The servant hurried out of the palace and said something in a low voice to the general of the palace gate, and the general of the palace gate walked up to Zhang Yijin's car and said, "Decree from King Chu: Zhang Yi enters the palace alone—!" Ying Hua was nervous for a while, and was about to go forward to argue, but Zhang Yi coughed in the car, then got out of the car calmly, and whispered to Ying Hua: "Calm down, act according to the established plan." went. The east side hall was deserted and deserted, there were no maids serving tea, and no etiquette officials to accompany them, only the spears and halberds of the soldiers outside the hall were swimming vigorously.Zhang Yi paced back and forth, looking at the bamboo forest and pool outside the window. "Look carefully, it won't last for a few days." King Huai of Chu walked in with a sneer, and a team of soldiers immediately guarded the gate of the palace. "Zhang Yi, the special envoy of Prime Minister Qin, has a meeting with the King of Chu." "Zhang Yi, do you know the crime?" "May I ask the King of Chu, what is Zhang Yi guilty of?" "You! Zhang Yi!" King Huai of Chu slapped the king's case loudly: "Lie to my land, destroy my army, and cause a rift between my monarch and his ministers! How dare you say that you are innocent? You are so bold!" "Chu Wang Rong Chen said." Zhang Yi smiled slightly: "Let's talk about the failure of the promised land: since the Spring and Autumn Period for four hundred years, all lands have to be determined by the king. Zhang Yi and the Chu King made an agreement. , King Qin and Zhang Yi can't force it. However, the intention of repairing the relationship between Da Qin and Da Chu has not changed in the end. It is Zhang Yi who insisted on returning the three hundred miles of Fangling's granary. However, the King of Chu didn't understand Zhang Yi's painstaking efforts, but hated Zhang Yi, really puzzled Zhang Yi. The other two crimes, if Zhang Yi didn’t mention them, the king of Chu should also know that they were vain words. One is that the Allied Forces of the Six Nations attacked the Qin State, not the Qin State attacked the Six Kingdoms, and the Six Kingdoms were defeated. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to blame the world on Zhang Yi? Second, Zhang Yi’s envoy to Chu is all for the sake of the two countries’ friendship. Whether they are good or not? The decision should be made between the King of Chu and the ministers. Wang Guoce is at odds with Zhang Yi, but he maliciously blames Zhang Yi. If the King of Chu believes it is true, Zhang Yi has nothing to do. Whether the minister says it or not, the King of Chu will clearly observe." The corner of Chu Huai King's mouth twitched, his face turned blue and white, and he suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Come here! Send Zhang Yi to death row!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away. He almost stumbled on the threshold and walked out of the Eastern Hall After wandering around the lake for a long time, he calmed down, but he felt at a loss in his heart. "Report to my king: Grand Sima Qu Yuan urgently asks for an audience." "Qu Yuan? Let him in." In a short while, Qu Yuan came in a hurry, sweating profusely: "My lord, see my king." "Qu Yuan, didn't you say that you won't be back in a month or two?" "I heard that Zhang Yi entered Chu, and I was so anxious that I hurried back." "What's the rush? Are you afraid that the king won't be able to deal with Zhang Yi?" Qu Yuan said urgently: "I tell my king: Zhang Yi is a dangerous person. He is a real public nuisance and should be executed as soon as possible! I am afraid that someone will secretly deal with Zhang Yi and delay the important event, so I am very anxious." King Chuhuai's heart moved, and he laughed He said: "Qu Yuan, Zhang Yi entered Chu, and this king just found out about it. How did you know about it early? There is still time to go back to Yingdu?" Qu Yuan said: "Zhang Yi entered Chu with great fanfare, and the villagers along the way know that patrolling scouts are on the border. I saw it with my own eyes, and reported it to the army the day before yesterday. How did my king find out today? I think there is something strange about it!" King Huai of Chu waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, there is something very strange about it every now and then. , teach me how to govern the country?" Qu Yuan gasped heavily: "My lord, please execute Zhang Yi immediately!" "Execute immediately?" King Huai of Chu sneered, "Qu Yuan, why are you and Lord Chunshen always yelling like children? There must be a way for a big country to kill the ministers of an enemy country, at least Zhang Yi must have no trouble." That's something to say, isn't it?" "King of Chu!" Qu Yuan blushed excitedly: "Zhang Yi was born evil, he spoke falsely and argued, and his heart was rebellious and dangerous. If this person is allowed to use his tongue, a traitor will become a loyal one. My king is generous. At that time Bewitched by Zhang Yi's clever words and tricks, there will be endless troubles. For the current plan, my king should follow the example of Confucius and punish Shao Zhengmao. If he doesn't see him, he will not follow the rituals, but execute him immediately! Qu Yuan asked himself to be the Minister of Execution and kill Zhang Yi !" "Okay, okay, I got it." King Huai of Chu was very impatient: "Da Sima has gone back, let King Ben think about it." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.Qu Yuan was stunned for a long time, then he let out a long sigh and fell down on the grass. Back in the harem, King Huai of Chu was restless and irritable again.I had made up my mind, but was disturbed by Qu Yuan's high-spirited breath, and became confused again.Thinking about what Qu Yuan said, the new and old hatred towards Qin Guo and Zhang Yi rolled up again. Also, kill Zhang Yi immediately, and Mi Huai is a daring monarch.Isn't Anzhi a great time to revitalize Chu? "Report to my king: the queen has returned to the palace." A maid came softly and reported in a low voice. "Ah?" King Huai of Chu was pleasantly surprised: "When did you return to the palace?" "When my king entered the palace, the queen returned to the palace. The queen was sick and couldn't get up on the couch." Before the maid finished speaking, King Huai of Chu strode away.Zheng Xiu had only been away for a few days, and he immediately felt that the comfort was gone. The whole harem seemed to be deserted, and the king's honor and luxury seemed to be dull. , The irritability surging in my heart from time to time can't be relieved no matter what.In the end, this woman was so important to him, not only made him happy, but also gave birth to his only prince!Strange to say, Zheng Xiu never prevented Mi Huai from having fun with other concubines and maids who were "suitable for having children", and sometimes coaxed him to indulge him to try something new.But none of the concubines and maids who attended the bed gave birth to a single child!Mi Huai also became more and more determined: Zheng Xiu is a female treasure bestowed on him by heaven, without Zheng Xiu, he would not be a real man!Zheng Xiu is sick, isn't it killing him? The curtains in the dormitory are drooping, although it is daytime, but the snow-white gauze lanterns are still lit. It is gorgeous and comfortable, and Zheng Xiu, who is wearing a long green gauze dress, is lying on his side and sleeping, his graceful curves are more obvious in the hazy gauze curtain. charming.Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy and hurried footsteps, and Zheng Xiu immediately began to sob. "Zheng Xiu, are you sick? Come here, let me see!" King Huai of Chu rushed in, walked to the side of the couch, opened the gauze curtain and hugged Zheng Xiu, but the always docile woman broke away. In his arms, wept loudly. King Huai of Chu was really in a hurry: "Where does it hurt? Quick, call the imperial doctor!" "Don't! My heart hurts..." Zheng Xiu cried sadly on the big pillow. "Oh, my queen, just speak up, crying like this is killing me!" Zheng Xiu wiped his tears and sat up from the couch, and nodded Chu Huai Wang's forehead: "I know your majesty! You don't want our mother and child anymore, do you?" Chu Huai Wang was confused and said: "Oh, where is this?" Talk? I understand it!" Zheng Xiuyuan opened his eyes and said, "I know you are capable. If you can't win a war, you will kill Zhang Yi! Don't tell me, the prime minister of Qin is so easy to kill? I know nothing, he is in Wu An army of 300,000 has been gathered outside the pass, just waiting for you to kill Zhang Yi, so that the King of Qin can take the opportunity to destroy Chu! If you want to kill Zhang Yi, you will kill me, and my mother and son will not be murdered by the sword with you! Tomorrow morning, my mother and son will go to Cang Go to Wuda Mountain..." As he spoke, he fell down on the couch with tears in his eyes. King Huai of Chu quickly sat down on the side of the couch, patted Zheng Xiu on the shoulder and coaxed and persuaded him. Finally, Zheng Xiu stopped crying and asked softly, "Queen, how did you know that there are 300,000 troops stationed outside Wuguan?" "Old Ling Yin said, how many members of his clan are in the army? Do you know without you?" "Why didn't he tell me?" "I don't want to clear you! You let the old Lingyin live here, do you dare to report it? You should ask Qu Yuan, he is the chief minister, he should report the military situation, why didn't he report it? Do you know? There is a ghost!" King Huai of Chu was stunned!The Zhaoju tribe has many children in the army, so what they said is absolutely true.Qu Yuan was the great Sima in charge of military affairs, so he should have known the troops stationed outside Wuguan, but he couldn't understand it.But Qu Yuan just met him, why didn't he report such a major military situation?Suddenly startled, he broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly paced and rubbed his hands: "Yes, yes! He wants me to kill Zhang Yi immediately and force Qin to attack Chu in a big way! Good... good..." To Qu Yuan Conspiracy, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Zheng Xiu continued: "It's good to take the opportunity to eliminate the opponent and take power alone! Do you know?" King Huai of Chu slumped down on the couch, with his head in his hands and his face turned blue, but he couldn't say a word.Zheng Xiu came over and gently laid him down on the couch, covered him with a brocade quilt, then walked lightly to the corridor and said softly to Jin Shang: "It's okay, I'm going." Jin Shang nodded vigilantly, hurriedly stride.Zheng Xiu returned to the couch, undressed King Huai of Chu gently, and snuggled into the curtain with a smile. Zhang Yi was sent to the death cell in Yingdu, Ying Hua was the first to get nervous, and went back to the post and whispered to Fei Yun, Fei Yun jumped up immediately, pulling Ying Hua to rescue Zhang Yi.Ying Hua held Fei Yun down and said in a low voice: "He said: If you don't come out, don't act rashly within three days. What matters right now are two things." "Quickly, which two?" "Investigate the movements of all parties and bribe the prison guards." "Hey, my sister will assign it, what can I do?" "I will go to the trading company to sit in town, and you go to the military camp outside the city. If something happens, you will risk your life!" Fei Yun was sore for a while, and choked up and lost her voice: "Brother has been imprisoned twice in Chu State, it's hard for him..." Ying Hua hugged Fei Yun's shoulders: "Fei Yun, Brother Prime Minister said that diplomatic relations are like a battlefield. Don't cry, remember, we must not let the officials and sergeants see that we are restless." "Well, remember." Fei Yun nodded and wiped away tears: "Sister, I'll go right away." As soon as Feiyun left, the scribe came to report: a masked businessman asked to see him.Ying Hua came to the hall, saw the figure of the merchant in yellow shirt, and smiled: "Doctor Zhong, let's face each other directly." The merchant took off his veil, and it turned out to be Jin Shang!He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord, Jin Shang has come to receive the reward today." Ying Hua said: "Really? Let me hear, how much is it worth?" Jin Shang lowered his voice and said: "The queen sent a message: It's all right. Jin Shang Guess, there will be good news tomorrow." Ying Hua said with a reserved smile: "That's right, it's nothing serious at first. But, remembering Dr. Zhong's hard work, I would like to express my gratitude." As he spoke, he picked up a delicate book from the desk in front of him. He shook the brown leather bag, and the sound of clattering gold coins was very clear and unusual: "This is the emperor's gold coin from Luoyang Shangfang, I will take it first." With a sweet smile on Jin Shangjunxiu's face, he ran over in surprise He took the money bag and said, "Thank you, my lord. You should be ready for tomorrow's reward." Ying Hua said with a smile, "Mr. Zhong is also a dog who can't get enough of it. However, my lord has some rare treasures. As long as you can't hold it." Jin Shang still smiled sweetly: "Young master scolds me, and I feel at ease, Jin Shang likes beautiful women to scold me." Ying Hua's face changed, and he said coldly: "Jin Shang, you Do you want to break the rules?" Jin Shang hurriedly bowed and smiled, "Don't dare, I'll take my leave." Then he put on his veil and walked out in a hurry. Ying Hua immediately went to the trading company, sent cadres to key government offices and mansions to investigate the situation, and personally met with the Prison Order of Ying Du in secret.In front of a box of splendid gold coins and jewelry, the prison order swore: As long as Zhang Yi stays in prison for one day, he will treat him like a guest of honor, without any mistakes!At night, all parties gathered news, but no abnormal movement was found.Only those who inspected Da Sima Qu Yuan's mansion reported that the clerk of Qu Yuan's mansion who had been bribed said that Qu Yuan was very angry after returning from the palace.Ying Hua thought about it carefully, flying to the north must be urging Su Qin and Huang Xie to reach Yingdu as soon as possible, and joined forces with Qu Yuan to urge the King of Chu to kill Zhang Yi; but what is the purpose of flying to the south of the barracks?Explain military affairs or have other plans?Ying Hua couldn't figure it out for a while, so he ordered Qu Yuan's mansion to be closely monitored, and spared no expense in buying the key officials of Da Sima's mansion. At four o'clock, Fei Yun sneaked back to the trading company in secret and reported that 300 knights from outside the city had entered Yingdu in disguise and lived in the inns around the state prison as caravans. The other 200 knights were also ready to respond. Prepare to capture the North Gate in one fell swoop!After the discussion was over, the cock crowed at five o'clock, and the two of them went to sleep with their clothes on. "Report to Young Master: The Prime Minister is coming back!" "Where is it? Tell me!" Yinghua Feiyun turned over and sat up together. "The King of Chu has just ordered that Jin Shang, the Chinese doctor, has gone to the state prison." "Fei Yun, go and pick him up!" Ying Hua turned around, and Fei Yun was already smiling at the door: "Hey, what are you talking about? Go away." Just as Jin Shang and the state prison order surrounded Zhang Yi, they had just stepped out of the high wall, and the full guard of honor led by Yinghua Feiyun had already arrived.Zhang Yi smiled and bowed to the Prison Order and Jin Shang: "Thank you two, Zhang Yi is leaving." Then he jumped into the car and drove away. "Prime Minister, I think it's better to go back to Xianyang." Ying Hua was a little scared, although he was smiling, his face was sweating profusely. "Is there any reason for this?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "The covenant is not yet concluded, and the state of Chu is not in peace, how can we go?" Ying Hua whispered: "Su Quhuang is about to join forces, I'm afraid there will be danger again." "I just want to wait for Su Qin to come, and I want to meet Qu and Huang, and play the world with them!" Zhang Yi actually smiled brightly.
