Fusu lowered his head and breathed a little quickly.
Faced with his father's questions, he could not answer immediately.
Fusu is an emotional person, and various scenes from his childhood appeared before his eyes.
The father only has the world in his eyes and the country in his heart. For his eldest son, he has always neglected to teach and accompany him because of his busy government affairs.
Especially as the number of his father's children increased, he paid less and less attention to himself.
The only people who accompanied the young Fusu were his mother and the Queen Mother Huayang, who was also from the Chu family and loved him very much.
It was at the Queen Mother Huayang's side that Fusu met Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, who often came to pay their respects.
Although they were born in Chu, they were kings of Qin, and they behaved differently.
Mr. Changping is gentle and elegant, while Mr. Changwen is bold and generous.
But the same thing is that they both like Fusu very much, and they often take advantage of the opportunity invited by the Queen Mother Huayang to get close to Fusu.
They taught Fusu how to behave, they taught Fusu to learn the elegant and free Chu culture, and they sowed a seed of "Chu people" in Fusu's heart.
These two people are not like his father, but they are closer to Fusu than his father.
There is a bond called "family affection" between them.
Therefore, when Fusu heard about Lord Changping's rebellion two years ago, he felt incredible.
For him, Xiong Qi was first of all a close person and his teacher, so the first thing he thought of was that he hoped his father could investigate the reason for Xiong Qi's betrayal.
Then he encountered a severe reprimand from Qin Wangzheng.
Fusu was very sad and confused.
He has always known that his father does not like him.
After Xiong Qi rebelled against Qin, he didn't know what to do.
Fusu is just a teenager who has never experienced the hardships of life and social training, and has no idea how to make the right choice.
Until someone woke him up.
"Sir, recognize your identity."
Suddenly, Zhao Tuo's words rang in Fusu's ears.
My identity?
Yes, Fusu is not only the child taught by Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, but also a young master of the Qin Kingdom.
The surname is Ying, the eldest son of King Qin.
This is his true identity as Fusu.
For the child who was taught by Chu people, Xiong Qi's betrayal was understandable.
But for a Qin prince, there is no other answer to this matter.
After two years of thinking, he went to Huaiyang with the King of Qin and saw with his own eyes the excitement of the King of Chu kneeling at his feet.
Fusu realized.
He is the final fruit of the marriage alliance of the twenty-fifth generation of Qin and Chu.
He is a child with the blood of Qin and Chu.
But between Qin and Chu, he could only choose one.
"I hate him!"
Fusu raised his head and said firmly.
A flash of light flashed in Qin Wangzheng's eyes, and he continued to ask: "Why do you hate him?"
Fusu did not hesitate and said immediately: "Xiong Qi rebelled against Qin and surrendered to Chu when Qin attacked Chu. This not only caused countless of our countrymen to die in the Chu land, but it was also a betrayal of his father and the Qin State. In this way,
Rebellious thieves, as the son of the Qin State, I should hate them!"
"very good."
Qin Wangzheng looked at his son with a resolute face in front of him, his eyes filled with joy.
Compared to when he was in Huaiyang, when Fusu watched the Chu kings and ministers surrender, and when he heard himself asking Xiong Qidang whether he should die or not, he hesitated and trembled, today Fusu finally looks more and more like a Qin prince.
When he was in Huaiyang, Qin Wangzheng asked Fusu to watch the collapse of the Chu Kingdom with his own eyes, and to see the Chu king and his ministers kneeling at his feet, thus breaking Fusu's good impression of the Chu Kingdom and Chu culture.
Let Fusu know that Chu is like a concubine to Qin.
And today, he, the King of Qin, wants to use Xiong Qi's incident to completely cut off the chain that entangles Fusu and the Chu people.
"Xiong Qi was an important minister to the king of our Qin state. During the war, he rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu. I was so angry that I wished I could whip his corpse and tear his body apart."
"You are the son of a widower, and you act as a widower in this generation. You whipped the traitor's body a hundred times in the ancestral temple to relieve the hatred in my heart! Avenge my Qin country!"
Qin Wangzheng spoke, staring at his son.
Beat the corpse to avenge it!
He wanted Fusu to completely sever ties with the Chu people under the watchful eyes of the ancestors and kings of Qin.
Qin and Chu are not at odds with each other.
"My son, please obey your father's orders."
Fusu held his hands in his hand and his voice did not hesitate.
Seeing Fusu's unhesitating look in front of him, Qin Wangzheng's joy reached its peak.
"Very good, this is my son, this is my son of Qin."
Qin Wangzheng reached out and patted Fusu's shoulder, turned around and left laughing.
"Father."
Looking at Qin Wangzheng's leaving figure, Fusu couldn't help but reach out and touch the place where his father's palm had touched just now.
There, it seems that the warmth of my father's palms still remains.
He felt his father's joy and approval.
This was an emotion Fusu had never felt before, having been criticized and scolded by the King of Qin for a long time.
Fusu was very happy. The way his father laughed with joy just now was deeply imprinted in his heart.
"Zhao Jun is right. Only when you recognize your identity and do what you should do, will my father like and recognize me."
Fusu turned around and looked across the Wei River.
The victorious army has entered Xianyang City.
The body of the traitor Xiong Qi was also among them.
He whispered.
"I am the son of the Qin State, and you are the puppet king of the Chu State, and you are a traitor to our Qin State."
"I will whip your corpse myself to avenge my father and the Kingdom of Qin."
…
Zhao Tuo followed Wang Jian onto the chariot again, and headed for the palace on the north bank of the Weishui River amid the welcome of the Xianyang people.
It's the same welcome ceremony as in the past.
In addition to the excited common people who greeted their triumphal team, there were also armored and sword-wielding warriors standing on both sides of the road leading to the Qin Palace, beating shields with swords and singing mighty war songs.
The music officials rang bells and fou to compose passionate and majestic music.
In those bursts of mighty singing.
Zhao Tuo was very excited.
Although after several years of training on the battlefield, his character has become quite calm, but after thousands of miles of southern and northern wars, Zhao Tuo's longing for Xianyang and the people in Xianyang is still unstoppable.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared with Zhao State, which has no sense of belonging, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is his real home in this era.
Now, he is back home.
"Your Majesty."
"Princess."
"And General Lee."
"I'm back!"
…
The body of the traitor Xiong Qi was taken away by the Langzhong guards. It was said that he was going to take him to the Qin ancestral temple to show his victory, so that the ancestors and kings of Qin could see that the traitor Xiong Qi, who had betrayed Qin, had been captured by Qin generals.
kill.
The humiliation of the defeat that Li Xin suffered when he attacked Chu has been completely washed away.
Qin is still the invincible Qin!
After the victory and victory, it comes to the stage of drinking, surrendering, and honoring.
Discuss merit and reward, hold a celebration banquet.
Perhaps it was because the meritorious service of destroying Chu this time was so great that Qin Wangzheng paid special attention to it.
Not only the general Wang Jian, but also the generals Zhao Tuo, Qiang Yu, and Yang Yuan, as well as the Qin generals above the military rank who participated in the battle against Chu, were all allowed to enter the palace to receive rewards and participate in the celebration banquet in the evening.
Of course, these military commanders and captain-level Qin generals were only allowed to enter the palace to participate in the celebration banquet.
Only Wang Jian and other generals came to the palace to receive the reward officially.
"Last time, we went to the palace with the general and were rewarded by the king. The king even asked me about my black buttocks. Looking back on that scene now, it makes me extremely excited. It's a pity that we don't have a share this time."
Hei Butt followed the generals into the Qin Palace, feeling regretful as he walked.
Beside him, Shejian glared at him: "The ones who entered the palace to be rewarded this time were all the captains and military officers who had returned in triumph. There were dozens of people in total. How could such a number of people go to the palace together to pay homage to the king? Can I
It will already be a great honor to enter the palace and be rewarded."
While the generals were walking and chatting, a military commander in the crowd had gray eyes and walked stiffly.
All the generals had merit, but he alone was defeated.
If everyone was rewarded and promoted this time, but he was demoted and demoted, it would be really embarrassing.
I'm afraid even his father will be unable to hold his head high due to this.
"Li Jun, don't worry. When I return to Xianyang this time, I will go to Bang Wei's Mansion and tell Wei Gong about your achievements. I, Ren Xiao, have half of your military achievements."
Ren Xiao came over and patted his chest in assurance.
Li You twitched the corners of his mouth and turned his face sideways.
Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of General Wang Jian in the distance, leading the meritorious generals to board Danbi and walk towards the main hall.
Among them, there was a young general.
"Zhao Tuo."
Li You gritted his teeth, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
…
On the Qin Palace.
Fengchang, who was in charge of rituals and sacrifices, personally directed his subordinate music officials to play music to celebrate the king's success.
Celebrate and praise King Qin’s amazing achievements in defeating Jingchu.
"Talk to Yin Wu and attack Jingchu. Go deep into its obstacles and journey through Jingchu."
"The daughter of Wei, Jingchu, lives in the southern part of the country. In the past, there was a Tang Dynasty, and the Di and Qiang people came from there. No one dared not to come and enjoy it, and no one dared not to come to the king. It is said that Shang is the norm."
Zhao Tuo was a little excited when he heard this.
"This is "Yin Wu," a hymn that praises King Wu Ding of Yin for his crusade against Jingchu, defeating the barbarians in the south, and countless princes surrendering to him."
Zhao Tuo is a descendant of the Zhao family with the surname Ying. He is very familiar with this music and even knows the meaning of King Qin's order to play this music.
Ying, whose surname is Qin, is a remnant of the Yin Shang Dynasty and is very close to the merchants in blood.
The distant ancestors of the surname Ying were nobles of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
Feilian, the common ancestor of Qin and Zhao, was the most favored charioteer of King Zhou of Shang and a truly trusted minister.
Among them, the ancestor of the Qin State, Fei Lian's eldest son Erai, died for the Yin Shang Dynasty and was killed by King Wu of Zhou, which led to the long-term decline of his descendants. It was not until Feizi raised horses for the King of Zhou that they had a chance to make a comeback.
Therefore, in some aspects, Qin often regarded itself as the successor of Yin and Shang.
For example, the people of Qin inherited human sacrifice from the Yin and Shang dynasties. When a king died, they often killed people and buried them, as many as 180 people at a time. It was not until the era of Qin Xiangong that this tradition inherited from the Yin and Shang was abolished. The scale and cruelty of the human martyrdom of the Qin State
It was far inferior to the Zhou people, so the princes of the Central Plains regarded Qin as a barbarian. This is probably why.
This time Qin destroyed Chu.
The King of Qin used this song "Yin Wu" to show that the Jingchu barbarians, who had not been eliminated by the Central Plains regime for nearly a thousand years from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the present, were officially ended in his hands.
He is the king of Qin.
He is the greatest king in the world!
"The king is victorious!"
"Qin is victorious!"
In the tsunami of cheers and the exciting ancient music.
Zhao Tuo followed Wang Jian into the main hall.
The main hall is majestic, with ministers standing on both sides, pairs of eyes falling on them.
But Zhao Tuo and the generals did not dare to look around at will. Amidst the voice of the visitor, they followed Wang Jian and walked quickly into the palace, kneeling down before the superior King Qin Zhengji.
Immediately afterwards, there was the return of General Wang Jian.
"My minister Wang Jian, under the king's order, led an army to attack Chu and fought with the Jing people in Huaiyang..."
"Finally destroy Jingchu Sheji, capture and kill the traitor Xiong Qi, avenge the country, and offer victory to the king!"
In Wang Jian's slow and steady tone, the restoration was completed, and the most exciting moment finally came.
The aloof Qin Wangzheng spoke.
"By destroying Chu this time, you will avenge our country and demonstrate the power of Qin. I should reward you heavily!"
As the king's voice fell, the visitor came forward holding the edict and read it loudly.
"In the twenty-fourth year of King Wei's reign, it was the winter season. General Wang Jian conquered Jingchu, avenged our country, and showed our Qin power. His achievements were unparalleled in the world. The king was very happy and rewarded his merits."
"Wang Jian, the Marquis of Guannei, was promoted to the Marquis of Che and the Marquis of Wucheng due to his achievements in defeating Jingchu."
Wang Jian kowtowed and thanked him with a smile on his face.
Zhao Tuo stood behind, very envious.
Old General, your level is full.
He is truly a role model for our generation.
At this time, the visitor continued to read out the next reward.
"In the middle of the watch, Zhao Tuo was brave and good at fighting. He defeated the Qi army in Zhencheng and captured Qi Da Sima. He defeated the Chu general Xiang Qu in Sui River and went south to attack Shouchun. Huaiyin defeated the puppet king's army and defeated the Chu commander Yin Xiang Yan. He marched south to conquer the east of the Yangtze River. , crossed the territory, captured and killed the traitor Xiong Qi and returned. It shows the majesty of our country that he is a brave general of Qin, and the king is very happy."
"In the middle of the night, Zhao Tuo was promoted to two levels of nobility. He was made for the young master and was given a thousand yi of gold."
