However, you have to fight even if you don’t want to fight!
There is no way that Prince Jing could just take away his throne in vain!
King Qin gritted his teeth and took these swaying, old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to fight King Jing's elite soldiers and generals.
The result can be imagined. Before they met King Jing's army, more than half of his own soldiers ran away.
Even if the King of Qin caught some deserters and killed them as a warning, it would only frighten the remaining timid soldiers.
When he actually met King Jing at hand-to-hand combat, King Qin truly realized what the book said about a massive defeat.
Unfortunately, before he could angrily yell at his soldiers to hold on, he was beheaded with a sword from behind.
When the news of King Qin's death reached the capital, the emperor, who had suffered a stroke, spurted blood.
The ministers who originally sent out the outstanding sons of their families gathered together, and when King Jing's troops came to the city, they opened the city gate directly and welcomed King Jing into the city.
And the emperor had long been strangled to death on the emperor's throne by a few of them with white silk in private.
However, the common people only received the news that the emperor had suffered a stroke and died.
Prince Jing entered the palace without any effort. Looking at the emperor who was lying on the dragon bed with his eyes closed and lifeless, Prince Jing stretched out his hand, trying to lift the gauze curtain to see clearly.
The veterans below were so frightened that they held their breath and swallowed secretly.
If Prince Jing sees the marks on the emperor's neck, this matter will be difficult to talk about!
However, they did not expect that after King Jing lifted up the gauze curtain, he stared blankly at the marks on the emperor's neck for a long time. When he woke up, the first thing he did was to pull out the sword from his waist and strike out with a sword.
One of them gave these veterans a chill in their hearts.
Looking at the old ministers who were still staring blankly, Prince Jing snorted coldly.
"Even if you step back ten thousand steps, he is still my brother. You are so brave, you dare to do this to him."
Prince Jing's subordinates did not even look at the old ministers lying in a pool of blood. Instead, they lifted their robes and knelt down to Prince Jing, shouting loudly.
"Long live the Emperor, long live, long live the Emperor!"
All the soldiers behind him knelt down and shouted long live.
"After passing on the decree, several elders were reluctant to leave the late emperor and followed him."
Prince Jing threw his sword to the ground and without even raising an eyebrow, he walked directly towards the Jinluan Palace.
The confidants immediately bowed in response and asked the people below to clean up the corpses.
Then he quickly followed King Jing's footsteps, and when King Jing stood in the Jinluan Hall, he immediately put on a yellow robe and ascended the throne as emperor.
The new emperor ascended the throne and changed his reign name to Yuan Xi.
After Emperor Yuan Xi ascended the throne, he issued several imperial edicts, one of which was to recruit Shi Yao Qian back to the capital.
However, unexpectedly, although Shi Yao Qian followed this imperial edict and returned to Beijing, he begged Emperor Yuan Xi for grace after entering the palace, allowing his family of three to continue farming in An County, Jingzhou.
Emperor Yuan Xi originally wanted to give Shi Yao Qian a fourth-rank official, but after all, after the capital was reshuffled, many official positions became vacant.
However, he did not expect that Shi Yao Qian actually refused and made such a request.
However, after hearing that Yao Qian wanted to continue researching more high-yielding varieties, Emperor Yuanxi did not hesitate anymore and agreed.
And with a stroke of his pen, he was granted the position of magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture.
The original magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture was a member of the King of Qin, so he had been demoted from his official position long ago.
When Yao Qian returned to Jingzhou, he was accompanied by the magistrate of Anxian County who looked haggard.
The magistrate of An County, who originally raised his head high in front of Shi Yao Qian, now didn't have any dignity at all.
Especially now that Yao Qian has a higher official position than him, the magistrate of An County is extremely lucky. When he was in An County before, he should have done nothing to disgrace the Shi family.
Not to mention his wife's brother, who seems to have a pretty good relationship with the Shi family.
When he thought of this, the magistrate of An County felt a little more at ease.
This incident directly wiped out all his ambitions.
I just felt that it would be better to stay in the small county over there in Jingzhou and be his seventh-rank sesame official in peace.
Nothing is as important as life, not to mention that the new emperor has not yet decided on his position. This is already a great blessing among misfortunes, so what else do you ask for!
She actually knew something about Shi's father's return to official position.
However, I didn't expect that the new emperor would actually allow them to stay in Jingzhou.
Originally, she thought that the new emperor would let their family stay in the capital. After all, they were under his nose, so she felt relieved, right?
However, since the new emperor is so understanding, Shi Jiang is not a stingy person.
In the following decades, Shi Jiang would come up with good things from time to time and present them in the name of Shi Yao Qian.
Emperor Yuan Xi originally wanted to promote Shi Yao Qian, but Shi Yao Qian only wanted a title for his daughter.
Hearing that Shi Yao Qian only had this request, and Shi Jiang was a woman, he specifically made Shi Jiang the county head.
Moreover, she made An County her fiefdom.
In this life, Shi Jiang never got married.
Shi's mother urged her at first, but Shi Jiang said that his health was not good, and even if he found someone, he might not be able to have children, so he would not delay others.
What's more, she thinks it's good to be with Shi, her father and Shi's mother.
Hearing what her daughter said, Shi's mother shed tears silently. It was Shi's father who repeatedly comforted his old wife and finally managed to coax Shi's mother into peace.
Shi's mother felt suffocated when she thought about what would happen to her daughter because she got married, got pregnant, and gave birth to a child.
Naturally, I stopped urging.
Without Shi's mother urging her to get married, Shi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and concentrated on farming.
A few years later, Shi Yao Qian also submitted a letter of resignation and returned to his hometown.
Emperor Yuanxi repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, and finally Yao Qian wrote again and again, and Emperor Yuanxi could only nod his head and agreed.
After that, the three members of the Shi family stayed in An County and spent their remaining years in peace.
Time flies, and decades pass by. Shi's mother and Shi's father died at about the same age. The two can be said to be incompatible with each other.
Shi's mother left first, and in the year since she left, Shi's father has been in poor health, and Shi Jiang can be said to have been by his side.
When my father was lying on the bed, at the last moment, he suddenly had a flashback.
Holding Shi Jiang's hand tightly, he raised his entire upper body and stared at her with his originally cloudy eyes.
His throat felt like a broken bellows, and he forced himself to take a breath and asked.
"How is my ginger?"
When Shi Jiang heard this, he was stunned at first.
"Dad, what did you say?"
Shi's father closed his eyes and then opened them again.
"You don't have to lie to me, I know my end has come, so I want to ask you the truth, how is my Jiang'er?"
At this point, tears rolled down from Shi's father's eyes and dripped on the back of Shi Jiang's hand.
Shi Jiang didn't expect Shi's father to ask such a question. After being silent for a long time, he nodded imperceptibly.
"Jiang'er is fine. Jiang'er hopes that father and mother will spend their remaining years happily."
Upon hearing these words, Shi's father forced a smile on his face and spoke in a deeper and deeper voice.
