My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 379: A subject that people can never escape - life (Third update! Please give me monthly votes)

In the long river of time, every historical event is like a wave, flashing into the sky, flowing into the endless river, and rushing forward.

Is Qi Wangjian really stupid? Is it really hard of hearing? Who really cared.

History is always written by the victors.

In the eyes of the victor, the defeated seem to deserve it, just like the ebbing sea water, their tastes recede.

But for those who fail, every historical event related to them falls on them, and the price is unbearable.

A historical event is less than a cross in the historian's writing; the length on a bamboo slip is no more than a bamboo slip.

However, it affected the blood and tears of the time and space at that time, from the king to the officials and the people.

After the diplomatic failure of Qi State, he would soon follow the order of King Qi and select a beauty from the whole Qi State to give to Prince Fusu as an apology.

King Qi naturally left this matter to Hou Sheng.

Hou Sheng received the order and immediately mobilized the army to search for beauties from house to house.

This search took a full month. The original intention of King Qi was to have a woman appease the violent Prince Qin in his mind, and to use this as a contract to help Qi State last longer, which was also the best way to benefit the people of Qi State.

But when the order was given, the victorious party members drove chariots and searched for beauties everywhere.

They captured no less than a hundred women, then screened them over and over again, and finally selected a fisherman girl who lived on the coast to enter the Qi King's Palace.

This fisherman girl was still drying fish meat when the Qi soldiers found him. She smelled fishy all over her body, and she was also wearing a Gebu dress.

Our ancestors have made a living by fishing for generations. Because there was no war, most families in Qi State had both parents living together.

Therefore, in this fisherman's family, her grandparents are still alive, her parents are alive, and she also has several younger brothers and sisters in the family.

Just because there are more people doesn't mean it's a good thing.

Their parents have to work from morning till night just to feed their six children. Just to deal with the taxes of Qi State.

The responsibility of taking care of the younger siblings falls on the older sister.

This fisherman girl’s name is Yu Yue.

Her name, like most others, is taken from the Book of Songs. Her name is taken from the article "Guo Feng·Wang Feng·Yang Zhi Shui".

The poem says: Huaizai, Huaizai, the moon will return the Yangyang water, and it will not flow into Chu.

This sentence means I miss you, I miss you, when can I return to my hometown? Yue refers to the moon, which also represents gentleness and beauty, and the word "yu" refers to giving, but also refers to me;

When the soldiers of Qi State saw her, she was helping her family wash and dry their clothes. Wearing a light yellow dress, her black hair is almost as high as her waist. Her waist is very thin and her clothes are tied with hemp rope.

She didn't have any accessories like gold and jade, but her younger brothers and sisters used conchs and shells they picked up at the beach to string together and make pendants for her sister, which they often tied around her waist.

When the breeze blows, the conch around her waist will play a pleasant tune.

When the soldiers and generals of Qi saw the girl, she was hanging clothes with her back to him. When she turned around and ran away in a panic, the soldiers saw her face clearly.

It's really white, as white as the bright moon in the sky. Her eyebrows are like crescent moons in the sky, thin and long, and they grow very high.

The soldiers' eyes suddenly widened and they froze.

At that moment they knew that this was the person they were looking for.

When Hou Sheng saw this beauty, he immediately had the idea of ​​​​taking it for himself.

But Qin's envoys repeatedly sent messages saying that they could not wait any longer and would leave immediately. Hou Sheng could only quickly order people to give Yue a bath and change her clothes to make her a noble woman.

Hou Sheng promised to provide her parents and younger brothers and sisters with food for five years, and then she agreed to work for the King of Qi, lurking next to the prince of Qin, and at the same time informing the King of Qi and others.

A long-running private competition for beauty naturally attracted Zhang Liang's attention.

Zhang Liang doesn't sympathize with this woman. In troubled times, no one has a good life. They just compare with each other to see who is not so miserable.

Zhang Liang made some inquiries and found out that the beauty pageant was for the crown prince of Qin.

In the Yashe, the garden is filled with snow. The red plum blossoms are blooming among the flowers, and the pond in the yard has long been frozen. However, several holes have been cut in the pond to make it easier for Zhang Liang to fish when he is free.

The thin Zhang Liang, wrapped in his coat, sat in front of the stove and listened to the scraping sound from the north outside.

Zhang Liang had previously heard about the fact that Li Xin of Qin led an army of 200,000 to attack Chu and was defeated, and then he saw the Qi people searching for beauties for the prince of Qin.

Zhang Liang suddenly guessed, "I don't think it will take long before the prince of Qin will lead his troops to attack Chu again. And once he takes charge personally, Chu will soon be destroyed. The next one will be Qi. "

It was those loyal retainers around Zhang Liang, "Sir, didn't you say that the only people who can defeat Qin are the Qin people themselves? When the prince of Qin has made a lot of achievements, the King of Qin will be suspicious of his son. When the time comes, the father and son will If there is a conflict between them, won’t Qin be finished by then?”

"Do you really want to watch a country like Qin wipe out the six kingdoms one by one and let Qin Wangzheng take over the world?"

Everyone was very angry. The faster Qin conquers the world, the more notorious it becomes; the more territories Qin occupies, the more enemies it makes.

As time passed after the war, the old life order of the people of the Six Nations was broken, and more and more people's lives were seriously affected by the disappearance of the upper-class nobles.

Many people who were originally nobles became common people. People who originally relied on the nobles for food and clothing were now forced to work in the fields or join the army.

The more chaotic the life of the people, the more people fled to Qi and Chu.

These people who had been harmed by Qin's interests quickly gathered together. Now on the streets, you can hear abuses against Qin and Qin people everywhere.

Zhang Liang looked up at the sun in the sky and couldn't help but sigh, "Having said that, I don't know when this will happen. Maybe it will come true in two or three years, maybe three to five years, maybe ten years …”

"No matter how much hatred I have for Qin deep in my heart, no matter how much I long to re-establish Qi, when I set foot on this road, I found that it is longer than I thought."

"What tortured me the most was not the various pursuits on the road to exile, but the repetition of food, clothing, housing and transportation day after day. When I was running around for simple food and basic daily necessities, I found that the hatred in the past seemed to be disintegrating little by little deep in my heart. , Sometimes I even have to forget why I left Qin in the first place and came to Linzi, the Qi State where dragons and snakes are mixed."

"I initially thought that what awaited me would be an arduous road to national restoration. But the truth was exactly the opposite. I discovered that no matter who you are, no matter what the circumstances, you can never escape one thing. That is life. "
