Chapter 79 The third section Qin Huiwang eternal strange disease

When Zhang Yi returned to the mansion, it was already the middle of the night, and he had no intention of falling asleep, so he wandered to the stone pavilion by the pool. Looking up, he saw a white figure standing in the stone pavilion. It wasn't Ying Hua but who was it?Zhang Yi walked over and said with a smile: "In the middle of the night, the shadows and shadows hang together, which is very charming." Then he embraced the body of the beauty in men's clothing.Ying Hua broke free with a smile: "Who is inseparable? You are!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Are you waiting for me?" Ying Hua coquettishly said, "What are you waiting for? Don't let others have something on their minds?" Zhang Yi pulled it away. Ying Hua sat beside him: "How is it? Did you see Brother Wang?" Ying Hua nodded and hummed lightly.Zhang Yi smiled and said, "What's going on? Did you see the prince?" Ying Hua smiled sweetly, "Aren't you capable? Guess." The daughter is full of coquettishness, which is quite different from her usual free and easy heroism. Very touching.Zhang Yi's heart was pounding, and she hugged Ying Hua firmly, and smiled in her ear, "I want you to marry me? Is that so?" Ying Hua giggled, and fell limply into Zhang Yi's arms without saying a word .

Zhang Yi was so ambitious that she tore off Ying Hua's male long gown, revealing a slippery red brocade jacket.Under the moonlight, the naked Ying Hua was laid down on the stone table, her white and plump body turned out to be crystal clear and bright red!On the pitch-black hair was a man's high crown, which added a bit of strange charm.It is also the first time for Zhang Yi to taste a beauty under the bright moon. The breeze is blowing, the body is fragrant, and the jade body is visible. Compared with blowing out the lamps and candles, it is very different, and it is even more beautiful. Uphold self-prosperity is still unfinished...

Ying Hua closed his eyes and was paralyzed for a while, then sat up with red face wrapped in clothes, looked at Zhang Yi and smiled: "Is there such a prime minister in the world, who messes up before getting married, flirting and indecent?" Zhang Yi said with a smile: "My fair lady How dare the prime minister hold back?" Ying Hua giggled, and quickly slapped Zhang Yi on the face: "Bah! This princess has never been a lady, but your nemesis!" Zhang Yi put her arms around Ying Hua's naked body and said with a smile: "I'm naturally thick-skinned, Nike, I hope you can do whatever you want." Ying Hua stretched out her bare arms to wrap around Zhang Yi's neck, and whispered with a smile "You rascal, you are really cute! If you are as serious as Su Qin, you will have no strength!" Zhang Yi couldn't help laughing: "Hey! How do you know that Su Qin has no strength? You really are not a lady..." Ying Hua panicked , and suddenly covered Zhang Yi's head with a long gown: "In the middle of the night, are you a rooster crowing, so loud?" Zhang Yi laughed uncontrollably, coughed, tore off the gown, shook her head and said, "The rooster crows, the responsibility is, What is the crime?" Ying Hua giggled again, his voice was louder than Zhang Yi's.

After laughing for a while, Ying Hua talked about the scene of entering the palace, but Zhang Yi's expression became more and more serious the more he heard it. Ying Hua is the youngest daughter of Yingqian, the cousin of King Qin Hui, a pedestrian and in charge of the Black Ice Platform, a first-class princess of the royal family and a secret operator, and there is no need to notify King Qin Hui whenever he sees her.Unexpectedly, it was quite different this time. Just after passing the main hall of the palace, he was stopped by an old servant, who said that he wanted to report to King Qin for permission.Ying Hua's face suddenly darkened, and with a wave of his sleeves, he walked straight in.The old servant didn't dare to stop him, so he hurriedly ran away.Approaching Qin Huiwang's study room, he saw the elder Shi Ganmao rushing in from the small door next to the study room, and said with a long bow: "Pedestrians, please stop, my king is not feeling well today, and I can't see my ministers and directors." Ying Hua raised his eyebrows: "Lord Gan Mao, Brother Wang is sick, so I have to visit him." Gan Mao said with a sullen face, "Pedestrians are also princesses, so why don't they know the law?" Get out of the way." Gan Mao pouted his neck and said, "As a long history, it's my duty, please step down, Princess." Ying Hua had been so neglected before, so angry, he raised his hand and slapped Gan Mao loudly slap in the face!

Gan Mao yelled: "Come on! Take it for me!" A row of warriors rushed over and surrounded Ying Hua, but they didn't dare to make a move.Ying Hua was about to make a fuss, but he heard a hoarse voice from the big study: "Is it Huamei? Don't pay attention to them, just come in." Straight into the study.Gan Mao stood there in a daze, very embarrassed. Entering the study room, Ying Hua was so surprised that he couldn't believe his eyes—once upon a time, the strong and steady Brother Wang turned into a white-haired and skinny old man half lying on the couch! "Brother Wang! You...how did you become like this?" Ying Hua choked with sobs, and rushed forward to hug King Qin Hui.

Qin Huiwang patted Ying Hua's shoulder lovingly: "Little sister, sit here, listen to me, I just woke up, you came at the right time." Ying Hua knelt and sat in front of the couch with sobs , looking at the old Qin Huiwang but couldn't stop the tearful eyes, and when Qin Huiwang finished speaking intermittently, Ying Hua's eyes were only alert and flickering! More than half a year ago, the news of the success of Bashu came to Xianyang. Qin Huiwang was very happy. He feasted on the ministers and was drunk himself. He vomited and fell asleep for three days before waking up.The strange thing is that when King Qin Hui woke up, he saw two ministers standing in front of the couch. He felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember their names. He just pointed at them tremblingly, his face was flushed, but he couldn't speak. Come!A black fat man said loudly: "Chen, Ji Liji, Gan Mao. My king has been in a deep sleep for three days." King Qin Hui understood, his heart relaxed, and he remembered everything.

From then on, Qin Huiwang felt a strange disease: he often felt "drilling wind" on his head inexplicably!At this time, there was a burst of chaos, and it must be forgetting people and things.Once, I couldn't even remember the old servant who was with me everywhere.After a few times, Qin Huiwang was terrified, and told the truth secretly to the most eminent old doctor.After looking around and asking about it, the old doctor closed his eyes and shook his head, saying that the disease has no name and no cure, and he can only turn to "alchemists" for help. Qin Huiwang laughed and said: "Could it be that the old imperial doctor is also confused? The 'alchemist' is the prison officer of Zhou Tianzi, and there are still in Luoyang. But, how does this 'alchemist' know medical skills?" The old imperial doctor shook his head again and again: "Wang knows it One, I don’t know the other. The alchemists mentioned by the old man are not Qiuguan scholars, but a kind of strange people who have emerged on the seashore of Yanqi. These strange people claim to understand heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, drive away evil spirits and diseases, and prolong life. Although the old man despises the other soldiers, he knows that he can't cure my king's head wind and strange disease, and he will go to the doctor without cure, I hope my king will think twice."

Qin Huiwang never believed in witchcraft, but seeing that the old imperial doctor couldn't cure him, he went to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors and prayed, and asked the great wizard to divination with the oldest method of drilling tortoises.Unexpectedly, there are only eight words in the hexagram: "The faintness does not appear, and the heaven and the earth are always." Even the great wizard tried to figure out the pattern of the tortoise shell, but he couldn't figure out whether it was good or bad.King Qin Hui gave up with a long sigh, and resigned himself to fate.Since then, this strange disease has become a ghost tormenting King Hui of Qin.King Hui of Qin was determined, so he established a palace law: if he was in a state of chaos and lethargy, the Changshi guards had to ban courtiers from entering the palace until he woke up and lifted the ban himself.Day after day, the attack of the wind-drilling strange disease became more and more frequent, and the strong and steady King Qin Hui was tortured, and suddenly turned into a skinny white-haired old man!

Ying Hua's heart was pounding, but he couldn't comfort this brother Wang.After thinking for a while, Ying Hua asked: "Brother, how long can you stay awake?" King Qin Hui panted and smiled, "If you have something to say, you can talk about it. It's probably fine before dark." First, I briefly talked about the situation of Zhang Yi's mission to Shandong and the progress of various countries' reforms. Qin Huiwang smiled and said, "The prime minister is here, so I don't worry about it. By the way, why didn't the prime minister come to see me?" Ying Hua said: "He is editing books. , ready to enter the palace tomorrow." Qin Huiwang said in a low voice: "After noon tomorrow, before dusk, remember it!"

Ying Hua nodded, and then talked about the grand celebration of the school's military field today. He was very happy for the prince's power and congratulated Brother Wang.King Qin Hui frowned upon hearing this, and his face darkened. After a long silence, he suddenly said hoarsely, "Hua Mei, you should marry Zhang Yi as soon as possible! Zhang Yi must become a minister of the royal family." When Ying Hua entered the palace, he originally wanted to ask permission for this important matter. He didn't want to be knocked down suddenly by Brother Wang as a chess piece of state affairs, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart. But seeing King Qin Hui's frosty expression, he smiled and said: " Brother Wang has orders, and my younger sister must obey." King Qin Hui said in a low voice, "My younger sister is on my mind: unless I wake up and face orders, the Black Ice Terrace will not obey any orders!" Ying Hua couldn't help shivering, and whispered The voice responded: "Little sister understands, there is absolutely no mistake." Qin Huiwang said again in a low voice: "I will move out of Xianyang Palace tomorrow and let Zhang Yi come here." Then he took out a bamboo from his arms The board was handed to Ying Hua: "You go, I want to think about a few things while I'm awake."

... Under the moonlight, Zhang Yi looked at the goshawk that was about to fly on the bamboo board in his palm, and his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't control himself.It seems that General Sima Cuo didn't know anything about King Qin Hui's sudden strange disease!There is only one possibility: since Sima made a mistake as a teacher, he has never been presented to King Qin Hui; if the general's teacher does not enter the palace, there is only one possibility, that is, he has obeyed the imperial edict!If the king of Qin is awake, there is no reason not to call the general into the palace.In this way, is someone correcting an edict?With a flash of thought, Zhang Yi was shocked!A person who can act coquettishly in front of the law-abiding Qin State and the scheming King Hui of Qin is by no means an ordinary person!So incredible, who could it be? After thinking about it, Zhang Yi gritted her teeth and said, "Little sister! Let's go!" "Crazy!" Ying Hua shook off Zhang Yi's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go naked, can't you wear any clothes?" Without further ado, Zhang Yi took off her long robe and wrapped it around Ying Hua, and tied a big belt around Ying Hua's waist: "Go. Go to see Sima Cuo, we can't miss him at this time!" Ying Hua giggled and said: "You can't do this kind of secret, you're so sloppy, listen to me." After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, and suddenly turned around with a smile. He was already dressed in black and neatly peeled off Zhang Yi's high crown. He also changed into a black jacket and put on a black cloth mask!Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Business is business, you go in and out of the gate, you are like a thief, but it is easy to cause trouble." Ying Hua said with a smile: "You are a great way, and you can't even get out of Wang Street. There must be three conspirators." Eye, understand?" Zhang Yi stopped arguing, but said with a smile: "I don't know how to fly, so I just go out like this?" Ying Hua said: "Don't talk, just follow me." As he said, he turned around , a boulder rumbled under his feet, and a hole suddenly appeared!Zhang Yi was so surprised: "Hey! Why is there a tunnel here?!" Ying Hua said: "Let's talk about it later, come on." Pulling Zhang Yi, he went down the entrance of the cave, and the boulder on the ground closed again. After a while, the two emerged from the ground, and Zhang Yi saw that it was a garden and grassland!Ying Hua whispered: "This is Sima Cuo's back circle." Zhang Yi was even more surprised, but she stopped talking and just followed Ying Hua in the shadows of the trees.Arriving at the courtyard, Ying Hua stretched out his arms to embrace Zhang Yi, and flew up to the roof. After two or three landings, he arrived at the light position in the middle of the courtyard, which was just outside Sima Cuo's study.Ying Hua whispered in Zhang Yi's ear: "You go in and talk, I will watch outside, and you have to leave before dawn." After speaking, Zhang Yi fiddled with Zhang Yi's body for a while, and Zhang Yi's black short cloth miraculously turned into a black long robe , is no different from Zhang Yi, who is free and easy on weekdays! Zhang Yi walked into the study, and Ying Hua in the shadow of the tree heard Sima Cuo's surprised laughter, and Zhang Yi didn't come out until the darkest hour of the fifth watch when the battle on the tower started.Without saying a word, Ying Hua pulled Zhang Yi up and flew out of the courtyard and down the tunnel. When the sky revealed a white belly, the two of them just returned to the mansion.Looking at the mud and dirt rubbed in the hole, Ying Hua laughed hard. Zhang Yipan raised his face and said, "You look like a crazy aunt all night, you just know how to laugh! What's so funny?" "The prime minister drilled a hole in the ground and looked ashamed, isn't it ridiculous?" Zhang Yi took a look in front of the bronze mirror, and couldn't help laughing: "Tell me, who opened this tunnel?" Fei Yun had already woken up, laughing in amazement at the two tired night walkers, while calling hot water for them to wash their faces.Ying Hua wiped his face with a hot face towel and said, "The city of Xianyang was built by Shang Yang and the Mohist master planners. Xianyang Palace is connected to the mansions of various ministers by tunnels. I am afraid that if there is a battle in the city, It is difficult to communicate between the monarch and his ministers. After the capital was moved to Xianyang, Shang Yang recovered Hexi, and the situation in Qin State changed greatly. These tunnels were not made public, but the tunnel map was kept in the royal study. It was given to me in order to pass on information secretly. It’s a pity that I have never used it except for exploring the way back then, and today is the first time.” "So, there must be a tunnel leading out of the city?" "Yes." Ying Hua said with a smile: "Back then in Longxi, the old Qin people had been dealing with Rong Di for hundreds of years, and all the mountains were full of secret caves, which were tens of miles long. Otherwise, how would the elite survive?" Zhang Yi sighed and said with a smile: "It seems that the old Qin people really have some secret skills to survive, but it is really rare to be able to preserve them until they are strong! Look at the six kingdoms of Shandong, which one was not strong back then? What about now? Bird!" Hearing Zhang Yi's curse, Ying Hua couldn't stop laughing, and Fei Yun blushed and said with a smile: "Oh——! Brother, the prime minister is getting rougher and rougher." Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Not rough Don’t feel relieved, where’s the food? Come on, let’s go to sleep, get up and go out of the city.” Fei Yun hurriedly brought the tripod, Zhang Yi was tired from the night, already hungry, and refused to show courtesy to the two women, so she started to gobble it up!After using it in a hurry, I fell asleep on the couch, and woke up, but it was noon when the sun was rising.Seeing that it was still early, Zhang Yi took a bath in cold water and came to the study with loose robes, but Ying Hua was already waiting in the study. "Are you reading?" Looking at Ying Hua who was in a daze in front of the desk, Zhang Yi smiled. "Not that interested, I'm looking at the picture and looking for the exit." Suddenly Zhang Yi came over and looked at it.Spread out on the desk is a large three-foot-square picture. The parchment has turned yellow, but the ink lines are extremely clear.Zhang Yi is as versatile as a teacher, and he is also considered to be a master of city building. After studying the big picture, he has already seen some tricks. Seeing that Ying Hua is still frowning, he joked: "A papaya, it's useless to look at it again." Ying Hua Hua Hong smiled and said, "You are papaya! Here, I can't think of it, but where is this exit?" Zhang Yi looked at it for a while, pointed to the big picture and said, "This is Nanshan, this is Weishui, This is Beiban, is this the entrance of the cave? By the way, Fengshui Nangang, Songlinyuan." Ying Hua smiled pleasantly and said, "Fengshui Songlinyuan, that's great! The other palace is right there." Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "Where is the entrance? It's best to be inside the city." "It's a real papaya!" Ying Hua slapped the table with a smile and said, "The tunnel is connected, so I could enter there last night." Hearing that the entrance is in the mansion, Zhang Yi repeatedly called "God's will", so she sorted out a few things and said to Ying Hua, "At the end of noon, it's time to go." Ying Hua also cleaned up, and the two came Last night, under the stone pavilion, I entered the tunnel silently, and when I exited the tunnel about half an hour later, there was a torrent of blue waves in front of me. Looking at each other from afar in the wind, it actually adds a bit of desolation. This water is the famous Fengshui.Fengshui meets Weishui in the west of Xianyang City. Although it is a branch of Weishui, it is also a famous water in the world.The name of the water is because the two sides of the Fengshui River are the center of Zhou people's civilization.The two ruined walls facing each other are the ruins of Fengjing and Manjing.More than 300 years ago, the Zhou family was in turmoil. Under the guidance of the powerful officials of the Zhou family, the dog army entered Guanzhong in a large scale, killed King You of Zhou, plundered all the wealth accumulated by the Zhou people, and burned down the two greatest capitals of the Zhou people - Fengjing. Manjing has turned the affluent Weishui Plain into devastated ruins!It was this rare chaos in ancient times that led to the tragic story of Prince Zhou (later King Ping of Zhou) trekking thousands of miles into Longxi, and Qin tribe's 50,000 fine riders marching eastward to King Qin.When the Zhou people moved eastward to Luoyang, they confiscated all the foundation land to the Qin people who saved the Zhou people.Although the people of Qin were diligent and generous, they were not good at farming at the beginning of the feudal kingdom. Moreover, the feudal lords of the Spring and Autumn Period were fiercely contested. They had no time to repair or use these two remaining great castles. The long years have eroded into real ruins! The strange thing is, on top of these two pieces of ruins, but I don't know when, a large area of ​​pines and cypresses grew up, and the vast sky covered the entire Gaogang!The old Qin people said that God used the most solemn etiquette to bury the two capitals of the emperor.Later, the Qin people called this mountainous area the Songlinyuan.When Shang Yang built Xianyang, he built a small palace called Zhangtai in the pine forest plateau separated from Xianyang by a river, and the people of the country called it Zhangtai Palace.In fact, Zhangtai Palace is also a small castle. During the hot summer or hunting in spring and autumn, the monarch will stay here for a period of time. Because it is very close to Xianyang, the monarch will often go out of the city to live here for a while. If you need a clean discussion, you often choose here. "Fly over?" Zhang Yi looked at the rolling river, and at the vast pine forest on the other side. "Don't worry." Ying Hua looked around: "Someone should pick it up." As soon as the words fell to the point, there was the sound of oars on the shore, and a black-capped fast boat was rowed out among the reeds. A sergeant at the bow suddenly asked, "Do you have an eagle card?" Ying Hua lit up the bamboo eagle card in his hand: " Watch it." With a casual throw, the palm-sized bamboo card flew towards the bow of the boat.The sergeant stopped in the air, took a look and said: "My lord, please take a hundred steps to the left and get on the boat from the pier." Ying Hua said with a smile: "No need, just hold the bow." In a flash, the two jumped up in the air and stood firmly on the bow of the boat.The sergeant clasped his hands and said, "My lord, please enter the cabin and take a seat." Ying Hua signaled to Zhang Yi with his eyes, and the two entered the small cabin under the black canopy.Hearing the stomp of the sergeant's foot, the black-capped boat sailed towards the opposite bank like an arrow. In a moment, the boat had docked.The sergeant led the two ashore, entered the pine forest, handed over to a commander in front of a stone gate, and the sergeant turned away.The commander led the two of them into the depths of the pine forest. After a series of twists and turns, they finally saw a castle built of white stone strips.The castle is built on a hill. Although it is not big, it is very powerful in this green pine forest!Up to the platform along the white stone steps, the commander left again.The thick stone gate without guards slid open automatically with a rumbling sound. A white-haired old servant came out, beckoned silently, and led the two of them in.Zhang Yi didn't look back, but heard the stone gate behind him shut again.Inexplicably, his heart sank, and he shivered like never before.From the outside, although the castle is mighty and powerful, it is not very big inside, like a large courtyard with six entrances in Xianyang City.After passing through several winding corridors, one arrives at a lonely hut in the depths of the "courtyard". Outside the hut, there is a grassland, a bamboo forest, and a pool of clear water, which is like the valley of the Mohists. Ying Hua crawled into Zhang Yi's ear and whispered, "Do you know? This was specially built by the former Jun Xiaogong, called Xuansi Garden!" "Xuansi Garden?" Zhang Yi suddenly nodded, only then did he realize that this was the residence specially built by Qin Xiaogong to commemorate Xuan Qi, a female disciple of the Mo family. The old servant had already come out of the hut, and said to Ying Hua in a hoarse voice, "Princess, please wait by the pool, and the prime minister will follow me." Then he led Zhang Yi into the hut.Ying Hua looked around for a while, but went to the bamboo forest beside the grass. Entering the hut, Zhang Yi was so surprised that she couldn't speak—the hut was surrounded by curtains, and an old man with snow-white beard and hair was leaning on the bamboo couch in the darkness, as thin as a stick!Even though Ying Hua had already heard about King Qin Hui's situation, Zhang Yi was still greatly shocked by what he saw with his own eyes. He couldn't help crying for a while, "Your Majesty..." He threw himself in front of King Qin Hui's bed and knelt down. down! "Prime Minister..." Qin Huiwang was also in tears, struggling to get up, but fell down on the couch again, panting for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is also God's will... The car cracked Shang Jun, Ying Si was bad, unexpectedly It ended up like this..." "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself too much." Zhang Yi choked up: "The time is the same, and it is already the same year. Your Majesty is vigilant and vigorous, abides by the legal system of Shang Jun, and expands the territory of Great Qin, making Qin a powerful country in the world. To the gods of the sky, to the ancestors in the middle, and to the people of Qin, how can you be ashamed of your brilliant achievements?" "It's destiny!" Qin Huiwang sighed a long time: "Ying Si is not much to come, there are a few things that need to be explained to the Prime Minister." "Your Majesty has an edict, so Zhang Yi should be loyal and do his best." Qin Huiwang tried his best to sit up straight, and told Zhang Yi a few things slowly and heavily, but they were all related to the crown prince's succession, but Zhang Yi was very disturbed. King Qin Hui has only two sons, the eldest son Yingdang and the second son Yingji.Yingdang was born to King Hui of Qin and a concubine Hu after returning to Xianyang. After giving birth to Yingdang, the Hu girl went back to the grassland and never came back.This Ying Dang is extremely talented, extremely strong, and has a strong hobby for military and martial arts.At the beginning, Qin Huiwang was very pleased with Yingdang's bravery and fierceness. During the Warring States Period, a king's martial spirit is often the strong fighting spirit of a country.But later, King Qin Hui gradually lost this comfort.It's not a big deal, but the surprising impetuosity that Yingdang often reveals makes Qin Huiwang uneasy.Before joining the army, Yingdang drove away three swordsmanship teachers and six boxing skills teachers in two years because the teachers couldn't beat him!When reading the book, Ying Dang also remembered it with his eyes. Several teachers were speechless when they refuted, and they were chased away one by one.King Qin Hui thought about it several times, and wanted to ask Zhang Yi to also be a tutor to teach the prince, but he had no choice but to deal with such a big issue, Zhang Yi traveled around the six kingdoms like a revolving lantern, and was already exhausted, how could he be restrained? Later, King Qin Hui discovered Gan Mao, a genius.Gan Mao was originally a famous scholar in Xiacai, he had no fixed teacher in his studies, and he claimed to be "a teacher from a hundred schools of thought, and he formed his own family".When Zhang Yi was traveling among the six kingdoms in Shandong, Gan Mao came to Qin, and Chi Liji recommended him to King Hui of Qin.After a long talk, King Qin Hui felt that Gan Maozhi's talent was indeed rare, so he appointed him as You Changshi, that is, Chang Shi's deputy.Since Chang Shi is a confidential minister who is resident in the palace, Qin Huiwang has the opportunity to visit Gan Mao frequently.But when there are difficult and important issues, King Qin Hui always chats with Gan Mao intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to see Gan Mao's insights.At the beginning of Sima Cuo's troops leaving Bashu, King Hui of Qin intentionally consulted Gan Mao on his strategy for governing Shu. I felt that this strategy was not deep and impenetrable, but I followed it later.In about a few months, King Qin Hui had a testimonial to Gan Mao: "There is no general plan, many opportunities to change, and both civil and military skills, so it can be practical." However, he did not give Gan Mao an official title. King Qin Hui wants to see if Gan Mao can exert influence on Yingdang?To King Hui of Qin's surprise, after several lectures by Gan Mao, Ying Dang and Gan Mao got along very well. He came to his father several times to thank him, and urged his father to join Gan Mao as a grand master as soon as possible! But Qin Huiwang was worried at this time.Originally, I thought I was in the prime of life, but I gradually wore away Ying Dang's violent and impetuous spirit, just like his father-in-law Xiaogong did to him back then, honing an impetuous prince into a deep-minded king, but now he is suffering from a strange disease, obviously Not long to come, so he had many worries about Yingdang's succession.How difficult is the rise of the Great Qin Kingdom?If you accidentally hand it over to a bad son, what face will you have to meet your ancestors? In worry, Qin Huiwang thought of his second son Yingji.Although Ying Ji is much younger than Ying Dang, only fifteen years old, he is a young man with an extremely calm demeanor.The old servants and the old maids all said that Yingji was just like the old father Xiaogong back then!Although King Qin Hui loved Chu Guoli's son very much, he always felt that he was a little less tough and more calm.In order to nourish the young son's perseverance, when Zhang Yi proposed to send a resident special envoy to the crisis-ridden country of Yan, King Qin Hui sent the young prince there.Yingji's mother was worried about her young son living in a foreign country for a long time, so she insisted on going to Yan Kingdom with her son.King Qin Hui really wanted to recall Yingji, but he had another worry: Yingji was young, and once he returned to Qin, he would fall into open and secret struggles. From all kinds of clues, King Qin Hui realized that he was unable to control the details of power and was unable to protect his young son. There is nothing wrong with it until the wings are full. If the succession fails, it will be unpredictable, wouldn't it be self-defeating?Besides, Yingji and Yingdang each have their own strengths and weaknesses, whether Yingji must be better than Yingdang, King Qin Hui really can't understand it from this young man who lacks experience, after repeated thinking, King Qin Hui can't make a decision . "Prime Minister," King Qin Hui spoke intermittently for half an hour, and finally panted and stared at Zhang Yi quietly: "You must have great plans for Qin, tell me, which one is better, Yingdang or Yingji? What should I do? At the mercy of you? Grand Tutor Gan Maozhi, should you make it clear... Time is running out, so the prime minister can't hide his words." Zhang Yi's heart trembled, but there was a long silence.Although he is the Prime Minister of Qin State, Zhang Yi has been busy with foreign affairs for a long time. He has never known about the Xianyang court and lacked thinking, which may be due to his ignorance of this way.Once in a joke, Ying Hua once said that he was "a talent with a lamp, and it is dark under the lamp", but Zhang Yi laughed: "A great talent since ancient times, who is not black under the lamp? Isn't Shang Jun? Isn't Wu Qi?" Ying Hua smiled and said: "If you want to be black, then it will be dark, and if I am not dark, I will protect you." Zhang Yi smiled proudly: "Even if it is dark under the lamp, you can still know the tricks of ghosts and monsters. Self-protection is enough, why do you need a little girl to protect you?" ?” After listening to Qin Huiwang's narration today, Zhang Yi really felt that he was "dark under the lamp", and he was full of seven kingdoms, diplomatic relations and mediation. The changes in the political situation are clear!The first one is that he has been in Qin Dynasty for more than 20 years and knows nothing about the two princes; he does not know the secrets of Sima Cuo, and the secrets mentioned by King Qin Hui are even more unheard of; The talent Chu discovered, he persuaded Gan Mao to join Qin, and entrusted Chi Liji to recommend Gan Mao to the King of Qin. In the end, Gan Mao became the prince's teacher, and he was still baffled!If it wasn't for the fact that Sima Cuo was very close, Qin Huiwang believed in himself, and it is very likely that he was out of the game inexplicably in the end, and he was still confused. While thinking about it, Zhang Yi was already in a cold sweat.Even so, Zhang Yi's talent for machine transformation is unparalleled in the world after all.In the choked silence for a while, he has already understood a fundamental fact: the strategy is as deep as King Qin Hui, and it is still difficult to choose between his two sons, and he is even more unable to explain clearly; at this moment, what King Qin Hui needs most is not so much Countermeasures, rather, loyalty; there is no good countermeasure, but without loyalty, you are in danger!At the juncture of power transfer, the sober and promising kings are often the most ruthless. "Your Majesty, don't worry," Zhang Yi finally said, wiping away tears, "Although the matter of becoming the crown prince is imminent, it is difficult to make a decisive decision. I have never had any contact with the two princes, and it is difficult to judge who is superior. There is really no clever plan to present." Your Majesty. The Lord of Shang has a saying that big things do not depend on the conspiracy of the people, but on the discretion of the Ming Lord. If it is a big matter for the crown prince, it still needs to be decided by the king to make a complete decision. As the prime minister, I firmly believe that the king thinks far-reaching, and only the king decides Yes, but the king has a decision, and the ministers should go through fire and water, and die without hesitation! Try to protect Daqin from falling into civil strife." King Qin Hui took a long breath, and seemed to be much more energetic: "Prime Minister, tell me, after Sima Cuo, is there any general in Qin State?" This question was so abrupt that Zhang Yi was startled, and replied cautiously: "In recent years, I have neglected military affairs, and I haven't found anyone who is worthy of being a general." There was another sentence in his heart, "The general is in his prime. During this time, why do you worry, Your Majesty?" But he held back bitterly. "Sima is wrong, old." Qin Huiwang sighed: "What do you think about Gan Mao's military affairs?" "I think that Chi Liji is talented in military affairs." Zhang Yi blurted out a familiar figure from the royal family, which surprised even himself. Qin Huiwang suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, Xi Liji is also a good general, how could he forget?" Panting for a while, he said: "Prime Minister, I heard that you have a maid, who is very lovely." Another abrupt question!But Zhang Yi immediately replied clearly: "My lord: The maid Fei Yun was gifted by my mother. She is loyal, intelligent and capable. She is indeed the elder of the minister's house." The answer seemed to be in his chest. "Okay. It's God's will to have such a female manager. Prime Minister, don't you plan to get married?" "I thank you for your concern." Zhang Yi bowed first, and immediately followed: "I have wanted to propose to the princess for a long time, but everything has been so complicated that it has been delayed until today. Today, I invite you to: Your kindness, my honor and Princess Yinghua will get married immediately." "Okay!" Qin Huiwang smiled for a while: "The prime minister has this intention, how can I not allow it? After one month, you will marry Ying Hua's younger sister. I hope, I can also drink a cup of wine." It's time for a wedding..." Looking at the shriveled old man with tears in his eyes, Zhang Yi flashed in front of his eyes the heroic demeanor that King Qin Hui had dressed up as a barbarian businessman in order to find him, and he couldn't help being moved, and said in a choked voice, "Your Majesty, why did you say such a thing? Zhang Yi thinks about a way, and it may restore your sire to normal." "Oh—?" King Qin Hui's eyes lit up, and he sat up from the couch suddenly: "What can the prime minister do?!" "On the coast of Yanqi, look for alchemists." Zhang Yi expressed her thoughts after talking with Ying Hua last night. "You, believe what alchemists said?" King Qin Hui was surprised. "From what I have learned, I don't believe in alchemists of ghosts and gods." Zhang Yi said calmly: "However, it is not accidental that alchemists practice in the world. Curing difficult and evil diseases is the root of alchemists' popularity. The world is so big that even sages can The mysteries of creation cannot be exhausted. Confucianism does not talk about strange powers and chaotic gods, but Mohism respects heaven and ghosts. The benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom. Why do you need to follow the words of one family and wipe out the opponent? Zhang Yi thinks that if it can be used for me, it is useful Your Majesty, please don’t use the legalism to govern the country, but the other party categorically rejects it, you might as well try it yourself, it may be very effective.” King Qin Hui couldn't help being silent.The old imperial physician had already mentioned the alchemist's theory, but Qin Huiwang was always plain and didn't believe in these illusory ghosts and gods.Zhang Yi said it, but it shocked Qin Huiwang unexpectedly!One is that Zhang Yi’s knowledge is heterogeneous and his insights are extraordinary; the other is that Zhang Yi has always been unconstrained and seeks practical results. If he said it, King Qin Hui believed it was not absurd and empty; the third is that Zhang Yi understood what King Qin Hui was thinking. , The words are clear and the reasoning is clear.Zhang Yi can bring it up, so it can be seen that alchemists are not purely non-existent!What's more, the famous Zhang Yi made this motion, and Qin Huiwang had the most solid reason for accepting the alchemist. Even if it didn't work, Zhang Yi would be the first to criticize the world. With Zhang Yi's ability, there is no need to worry about the opponent's healing rhetoric. "The prime minister said so, let's try it." Finally, King Qin Hui murmured. Suddenly, there was a sound of tom-tom drums, and the shrill voice of the old housekeeper came from outside the hut: "Thirty-six evening drums—! Fengshui head on the moon—!" Zhang Yifang was stunned for a while, and then saw King Qin Hui laughing for a while. With a long smile, he jumped off the couch, his white hair fluttering and hissed with laughter: "You! Who are you? You look so familiar, ahahahaha!" Then he rushed out of the hut, laughed and ran around on the grass ! Ying Hua suddenly appeared from the bamboo forest, stood there in a daze, watching the servants standing in a big circle around the grass, watching the old man running wildly vigilantly, and suddenly burst into tears... Zhang Yi walked out silently The hut helped Ying Hua up and whispered, "Let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of Songlinyuan if it's too late." Back in Xianyang, it was already the second watch, and neither of them felt sleepy.Zhang Yi paced endlessly in the study, but Ying Hua just wiped away her tears silently, without the usual heroic laughter, and the atmosphere was so dignified that it was breathless.Although the two had their own imaginations about King Qin Hui's strange illness, seeing it with their own eyes today was like a thunderbolt, thrilling!Ying Hua, who didn't even cry at the father's funeral, actually burst into tears all the way, soft on Zhang Yi's body like a ball of cotton.Zhang Yi's complexion was gloomy, and her heart felt as heavy as a boulder.At that moment, he had a strong premonition - chaos is coming, and Qin is in great danger! He chewed over and over all the conversations with King Qin Hui, thinking nervously about the way to go. "Little sister," Zhang Yi finally stood in front of Ying Hua: "You and I have to work separately." "Separate? Where are you going?" "I'm going to Qi. You stay in Xianyang." “却是为何?你且说个由头出来。”嬴华霍然站起,语调冰冷得刀子一般。 张仪恍然大悟,从松林塬回来,还没有来得及对嬴华说今日面君之情,突兀便要分开,嬴华定然是以为自己要逃离秦国了!不禁笑道:“我竟是昏了,来,你坐好,听我说。”便将日间与秦惠王的经过备细说了一遍,末了道:“要尽最后一份力,要设法治愈君上,就要去齐国寻访方士。可我又不放心咸阳,便想了这个分头行事的主意。” “我在咸阳,能做何事?”嬴华虽然已经明白,却终是皱着眉头。 “只做三件事。”张仪郑重其事道:“其一,以我之名与司马错会商,要他在我回来之前稳住咸阳大势。司马错已经萌生退隐之心,君上也已生出取代上将军之意。当此微妙之时,既不能捅破这一层,又得让司马错振作行事。其二,辅助樗里疾处置好相府政事,要紧的是严密看管丞相印信,尽可能少的发布丞相书令。其三,启动黑冰台,严密监视咸阳宫,暗中保护君上。” 嬴华不禁舒展眉头笑道:“还真行,我以为你也象我一样,乱了阵脚呢。” “小妹啊,危难关头,咸阳为根。”张仪一声叹息:“你在咸阳比我根基深,又是王族机密干员之身,秘密行事比我更有成效。否则,张仪如何舍得与你分开?” “知道了。大计有你,我就塌实。”嬴华紧紧抱着张仪低声道:“只是,今日乍见王兄发病,我便心惊肉跳,总是想起老父当年将自己关在黑屋子里的模样,可怕,只想哭……” 张仪揽住了嬴华瑟瑟发抖的双肩,抚摩着她的秀发,拍打着她的肩背:“君上有噩梦,小妹也有噩梦,其实,人都有自己的噩梦,我也曾经有过,那是残酷人生烙在心头的伤痕,有的人能医治这种创伤,有的人便不能……” “有了你,我也能。”嬴华紧紧搂着,笑得一脸泪水。
