Chapter seven hundred and ninety first two days to fight
"Promoted from an envoy to a beauty!"
"Fragrance beauty!"
"I don't have much impression. It seems that this girl is really good."
In the Qin State's harem, from top to bottom, the queen is assigned to one statue, and below her are the wife, beauty, beloved, eighth son, seventh son, chief envoy, young envoy, etc. The higher the status, the more likely they are to have a good life in the harem.
status.
Previously, when Gongsun Li entered the Xianyang Palace, she was just a good friend at first. After giving birth to Princess Yangzi, she truly took the position of a lady. And this girl was only selected from the Korean palace, how could she climb so fast?
Although it is due to outstanding appearance and making incense, there are many outstanding ones in the harem, and there are also many people with various talents and talents. Therefore, there must be other reasons.
He glanced at Li Zhong beside him, he was afraid that some of the inside information was not revealed, but it didn't matter, he would know it later.
"Li Si has met Marquis Wu Zhen!"
Passing through the corridor next to Zhangtai Palace is where the harem is located.
There, a familiar person in a light red brocade robe walked towards him. His hair was tied up in a high mountain crown. He was already an important official in the central government. He came forward and bowed, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Is Chang Shi waiting for me here?"
Zhou Qing smiled slightly, and a soft force surged out from one hand to help Li Si up.
Since Zheng Guoqu, Li Si used this as a basis to jump into the center of the Qin Kingdom, and became a close official of Xianyang Palace, becoming an important minister. Of course... he did not disappoint the king.
He handles all kinds of affairs very well and is an absolute talent in the affairs of state.
"Forgive me, Marquis Wu Zhen."
"If there is something really important, you have to do it as a last resort."
Li Si gave another courtesy. He had stayed in the Qin State for many years and had already regarded the Qin State as the starting point for him to realize his goal. Now the world was in full swing, but he never thought that there would be some changes within the royal court.
"Li Zhong, we will go to Ningxiang Palace later."
Feeling this, Zhou Qing glanced at Li Zhong beside him, and then Li Zhong clasped his fists and saluted, and wisely stepped aside, without listening carefully. He looked at the soldiers not far away and waved to them.
Temporarily evacuate.
With Marquis Wu Zhen here, even the little ones dare not cause trouble.
"Wu Zhenhou is going to Ningxiang Palace?"
Chief Shi Li Si's expression moved slightly, he watched Li Zhong and his group retreat and whispered.
"good."
"Chang Shi's obstruction of this prince here, could it be related to Ningxiang Palace?"
Zhou Qing nodded.
Feeling something in his mind, he looked at Li Si thoughtfully with a slight smile on his face.
"Wu Zhenhou knows that the king has been here for the past few months and will only be in court for seven days."
Li Si lowered his voice again.
I said it in one sentence, but I don’t want to say too much about the profound meaning. Now is an important period in the world, especially the major event of conquering Zhao State. Your Majesty should be more diligent in state affairs, but... in recent months, he has been a little lazy.
Got political.
If it appears in the body of a steadfast king, it will be nothing.
But the king is obviously not that kind of king. Now that the great cause has not been accomplished, it should not be like this.
"Oh, there are only seven days before the court comes!"
"The rest of the time is spent in Ningxiang Palace?"
Zhou Qing's attention is not on those seven days. Not surprisingly, this Ningxiang Palace will be very important.
"good."
Li Si nodded.
That woman was selected from the Korean palace when Han was destroyed. Unexpectedly, she could make the king temporarily abandon his beloved Lady Li, which shocked everyone inside and outside Xianyang Palace.
According to the rumors in the harem, it was just that she had outstanding appearance and was good at making incense. The key point was that she was vaguely coquettish. Women like that were always a disaster in the annals of history.
Such as Daji, Baosi, Yijiang... If the king cannot escape, he may be in danger.
Faced with this situation, in recent months, many important civil and military officials in the Qin court have uploaded documents, but all of them have been rejected and no comments have been issued. Li Si also said it in a vague way, but was brought to another topic by the king.
It is obvious that the king does not want others to interfere in this matter.
For this reason, Xiangbang and Guowei also met in person, but no news came out.
"So, you want me to ask about this?"
Zhou Qingming understood Li Si's intention.
"After the beginning of spring next year, the army will march eastward to attack Zhao. At this time, it is the time for the king to boost the morale of the court and the public. Lord Shang once said that those who fight are primarily concerned with political victory, but political victory depends on the king."
"I hope your Majesty will listen to what Marquis Wu Zhen said."
Li Si bowed and saluted again.
The words are precise, and these are words from the heart.
Da Qin is at a critical moment now. Facing the Shandong countries, although it has sufficient advantages, it cannot be careless, otherwise a series of small problems may accumulate and become a big problem.
In the Qin court, if the weight of Guowei and Xiangbang was not enough, then only Marquis Wu Zhen was the first Marquis of Guannei since the Great King Guanli came to power, and he was the most respected by the King.
For several months, I have been sitting in Longxi, which shows that I am ordinary.
"I know this."
"However, since your Majesty has been neglecting his duties recently, is there any accumulation of important affairs in the country?"
After helping Li Si up, Zhou Qing looked around the corridor. The scenery was pretty good. Based on his understanding of Brother Wang, how could a mere woman move his heart?
Even though he loved Gongsun Li so much at the beginning, it doesn't mean that the king will not come to court early from now on.
There must be an internal reason for this. I walked through Xianyang all the way, but no big chaos happened. I raised my lips lightly and asked casually.
"This... naturally has a lot of accumulation. Fortunately, I have a prime minister and a national captain in front. Unless it is a major military and political matter, we can also share the worries of the king."
Li Si nodded. Naturally, there were many important things to pile up.
Now is the time of autumn and winter, when there is little military strength, and there are no major issues. The Prime Minister and the Lieutenant of the State can handle some minor matters, but there are still some undecided major matters, so the speed of the king's approval is slower.
"That's it, I will tell you later."
Speaking of which, it seems that the situation is quite serious.
Facing Li Si's gaze, Zhou Qing said something.
Soon, Li Si left sideways, and Li Zhong led the way through the corridor and stepped into the harem.
"Wuzhenhou, this is Ningxiang Palace!"
The roads in the harem were familiar to Zhou Qing, and the guards patrolling the outside were very tight. Li Zhong was in front, leading Zhou Qing to a relatively unfamiliar palace, which was slightly out of the way.
On it were the three characters "Qin" in seal script. The palace door was open, and maids kept coming in and out. Looking at Weiwei Li Zhong, they all turned sideways.
"This breath?"
"I seem to have smelled it?"
There are many palaces in Xianyang Palace. Zhou Qing knew the palace where the famous woman lived, but the Ningxiang Palace in front of him was unfamiliar. He saw that Li Zhong had already sent someone to report it.
The two of them were waiting in front of the palace gate. The cold wind blew by, and a strange fragrance poured into their noses. It was not like the ordinary fragrance of flowers and plants, but a mixed fragrance.
Everything was swirling in my mind, and it seemed that... after I destroyed Korea, I smelled that scent once when I went to Zhaode Palace with my brother Wang. At that time, I heard Zhao Gao say that the woman was indeed selected and sent from Korea.
She has outstanding appearance and is good at making incense. Not surprisingly, that woman is the one in Ningxiang Palace.
Zhao Gao thought carefully about his feelings, and among the women he sent, there were actually some that he liked.
"Wuzhenhou, your Majesty invites you!"
Soon, the waiter who entered the internal communication quickly trotted out. Li Zhong was overjoyed, clasped his fists in salute, and extended his arms to greet him.
******
"Xuanqing has met the king."
In the side hall of Ningxiang Palace, compared to the cold wind outside the hall, there are stoves rising here. Although the windows are open, they are covered by screens, making it as warm as spring and summer.
He came forward and bowed his hands, looked at Qin Wangzheng, who was also getting up, and smiled slightly.
"Hahaha, Marquis Wu Zhen is here to supervise the two counties in Longxi, and he has worked hard."
"Let's have a banquet. Today I will chat with Marquis Wu Zhen all night long."
"sit!"
Wearing a black robe, slightly loose, with his hair tied up in a crown, although he has not been seen for several months, Brother Wang still looks handsome and even better than before. The power of spiritual awareness envelopes his body, and he does not suffer from indulging in wine and sex.
In this way, it confirms a previous expectation.
Feeling a little at ease.
"Don't overwork yourself for the things you're supposed to do."
"The troubles in the two counties of Longxi are currently caused by scabies. If we attack Zhao next year, we may be able to suppress them with great force."
He bowed his hands in return and sat behind the table on the right side of his hand. A maid offered him tea and snacks. In this side hall, the smell of the mixed fragrance was even stronger, but he didn't see the fragrant beauty.
Let’s talk briefly about the affairs of the two counties in Longxi. Half a month ago, the handling of the two counties in Longxi had already been dealt with in documents. Not surprisingly, Brother Wang should have seen it at a glance.
"Ranger's Trouble!"
"Ever since our ancestor Xiaogong, he has been constantly disrupting the internal affairs of Qin. For more than a hundred years, despite the Qin law, he has continued to rectify it. If there were no knights to intervene in the earthquake in the two counties of Longxi this time, we should not be responsible for it.
event."
"If we want to completely wipe out those rangers, we have to wait for a few people to help Zhu Xia!"
Longxi, as the ancestral land of the Qin State, is of great importance. If it weren't for the special status of the king's brother, I would not feel confident sending him there.
What happened next in the two counties of Longxi was as he expected. External forces intervened one after another, especially the Mohist school, which was one of the first hundred schools of thought to be hostile to Qin more than a hundred years ago.
Although the Mohist family was divided into three parts, the identity of the ranger remained unchanged.
"We cannot completely annihilate those rangers without leaving them nowhere to hide."
One of the biggest reasons why the Mohist family has been so rampant for more than a hundred years is that the Mohist family's base is not in the Qin State. Facing the Qin State, they can enter when they want to enter and leave when they want to leave.
It is certain that some disciples will be lost, and they will directly replenish them when they return to the Shandong countries.
If all the Xia were to become one, the Mohists would have no place to stand.
"What Wu Zhenhou said is true."
Qin Wangzheng nodded with a smile, picked up the wine bottle in his hand, thought of a gesture in the distance, and drank lightly.
"Recently, there is an interesting story coming from Chu State."
"With the river as the boundary, the new king of Chu appeared in the north, and his name was Chu Chu, and in the south the king of Chu was still Xiong Han. They were separated by the river, and they all had soldiers who were good at fighting. For a while, there was no big war.
.”
"The two kings of the Chu Kingdom were fighting, and it was a big help to the Qin Dynasty."
After drinking the mellow wine, the topic of Qin Wangzheng's political conversation changed and fell on the affairs of the Chu State. Among the Shandong states, the biggest threats to the Qin State were the Zhao State and the Chu State.
However, if we continue to compare the two countries, it should be Chu!
Because the Chu State is different from the Zhao State, the Chu State is not weaker than the current Qin State in terms of its people and land, while the Zhao State has been greatly weakened after the Battle of Changping.
If in today's Chu country, Chu King Han is defeated by the new Chu Guo Fu Chu, his entire dynasty will be a big threat.
Now that the two kings are fighting, Chu will have no time to pay attention to the conflict between the three Jins for at least a few years.
"I have met the king."
"I think this is the Marquis Wu Zhen that the king often mentioned. Ningxiang has met Marquis Wu Zhen."
Zhou Qing also learned about the news from Chu State when he was in Longxi.
In the previous plan, Li Yuan was afraid of the strength of the Chu State's sacrificial lineage, so he sent Black and White Xuanjian there to help.
Finally I actually used it.
The appearance of Guiguzi was beyond his expectation. He...should have retired to the mountains and forests long ago and not asked about Zhu Xia's affairs. That was also the destination of every Guigu disciple after being criticized by the wind and clouds.
With the support of Black and White Xuanjian, Li Yuan and Chu King Xiong Han took the Queen Mother Li Yan and fled south. With the backhand left by Qian Hong and Li Yuan's own strength, they used the river as the boundary and became king across the bank.
Perhaps, the land south of the river is not as good as that on both sides of the Huai River, and it is close to the Baiyue ethnic group, but being able to retain life and strength is already a great blessing, and I am about to give a response.
His expression changed, and he looked towards the side of the side hall, which led to another small inner room. A woman in black with an exquisite figure stepped out. In terms of appearance, she was indeed not inferior to Gongsun Li.
She wears a close-fitting black long skirt, her long and smooth black hair is styled into a long bun, a hosta with pearls is inserted diagonally, and two slender ribbons surround her waist and abdomen. Although it is thin, it is quite gorgeous, and it has a gentle side.
Inside the palace, it's nothing.
Wearing bright black high boots, stepping on the floor, crisp sounds could be heard continuously and orderly.
On her delicate face, she had a smile as bright as a flower. She came forward and bowed, and then her beautiful eyes flickered, and the mysterious light lurked in the depths, falling on Zhou Qing on one side. He bowed again and bowed with a crisp sound.
"Xuanqing has seen beauties."
Looking at this person, spiritual consciousness envelopes his body. He is an ordinary person with no cultivation. His physique is much better than that of ordinary people. There is a different kind of alluring aura spreading all over his body, mixed with a trace of mixed fragrance.
He stood up from behind the desk and bowed his hands.
"Wuzhenhou, this is Ningxiang."
"The incense made by hand is very good. When I am reviewing government affairs, I smell it and feel refreshed."
"I just learned that Marquis Wu Zhen is coming. I asked Ningxiang to prepare some quiet incense. I think Marquis Wu Zhen will also like it."
Qin Wangzheng waved to Ningxiang Beauty, who came forward in a charming manner, holding a bottle and waiting for her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
There is nothing special about this woman. After hearing the political speech of the King of Qin, she held her hands in her hands and said yes.
Then, a palace maid brought up a delicate red wooden box containing the fragrance of tranquility.
Zhou Qing gave another gift.
Later, in Ningxiang Palace, there were delicious food and wine sent by Shang Shifang, and they drank freely with each other. During this period, there were also the sounds of singing and dancing.
