Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 142

Guo Kai led the mission to leave Handan, and Zhao Wangyan in the palace woke up again.

When I woke up this time, my body was not as good as before. Not only did I not have the strength to eat, but I also looked extremely weak, with a hoarse voice. For a long time, I didn't even speak a complete sentence.

In the deep hall, apart from his continuous coughing, there was no sound.

Everyone knelt down in front of him, including the prostitute.

At this moment, there are also hundreds of officials kneeling outside the hall to worship.

They were all summoned by Zhao Wangyan after he woke up.

He can't control his own body now, he is sick to the bone marrow, there is no cure for it, and he may pass away one day. Taking advantage of the present, he can still maintain some sense, and he wants to talk about the aftermath.

After the violent cough, he half sat on the bed and drank a bowl of medicinal soup. His complexion recovered a bit, and his hoarseness was relieved.

He looked at the prostitute queen and Zhao Qian who were kneeling in front of him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a forced smile, and asked lightly, "Where's Guo Kai? Is he here?"

The prostitute's expression was uncertain, and she didn't know how to speak about this matter.

Zhao Wangyan stretched out his hand with great effort, firmly grasped her slender fingers, and asked, "Did something happen to Li Mu?"

"How did your majesty know?" The prostitute queen was startled.

She didn't dare to talk about Guo Kai, because she was afraid that the defeat in front of him would make him feel anxious again after letting him hear it.

Zhao Wangyan said slowly: "I think about it, Li Mu is far away in Hangu, isolated and helpless, it is difficult to be undefeated. Is it not?"

At this point, the prostitute had no choice but to blurt out all the truth, "Old General Li Mu died in battle, and his bones were buried near Hangu Pass. His subordinate Zhao Cong still does not know where he is. The Qin State has captured many soldiers of our Zhao State. I have already ordered Guo Kai to go to Qin State, intending to discuss with them about my soldiers from Zhao State, and I think he is already on his way at this moment."

She was ready for everything, for example, to be scolded and punished by Zhao Wangyan, or to make him faint again, but she really didn't dare to lie in front of him for such a big family and country matter.

However, Zhao Wangyan was as usual, with a calm and calm expression, but his voice was weak, "In any case, they are all soldiers of our Zhao State, we must find a way to bring them back from Qin State, one less person No less.

There is also Zhao Cong, who must be found. This person has followed Li Mu for many years and is loyal to his family and country. "

"Your Majesty, you will live a long life."

Hearing this, the prostitute couldn't help it anymore, and tears welled up in her eyes.

He is like this, but he still misses their mother and son in his heart, how can she not be moved?
"Guo Kai, Yan Ju, Zhao Cong, these people are all available. Mr. Chunping is a family member. Although he once competed with me for the throne, it was after all. He has the courage and courage to use it. There is something wrong with you, you have to be more careful."

Zhao Wangyan spoke seriously.

When the prostitute heard the three words Chunping Jun, her expression was obviously shocked.

I'm afraid he knows something.

But then he stabilized his emotions. Although many people knew about her and Chunping Jun, no one dared to gossip in front of Zhao Wangyan. What's more, since he woke up, he has been by his side all the time. It's impossible for him to know.

"Your Majesty, I will always remember the people you mentioned."

The prostitute was frowning, with tears in her eyes, and dared not look at him.

I don't know if it's because of shame or fear, but in short, in her heart, she feels sorry for him.

Zhao Wangyan obviously didn't notice that her expression was a bit weird, all his current thoughts were actually on Zhao Qian's body,
"Qian'er, I don't know how long my father can live. I don't even know if I can wake up after sleeping. Therefore, in the future, the heavy burden of Zhao will fall on you. What my father said Man, do you remember everything clearly?"

Zhao Qian was still young, but there was infinite sadness in his heart, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out. He wiped the tears away, and said forcefully, "My child has already remembered."

"Then tell me, who did the father talk about just now?" Zhao Wangyan's face was pale, and he didn't smile very well, but when he looked at his child, he tried his best to smile nicely.

Zhao Qian said in a milky voice, "There are Guo Kai, Uncle, Zhao Cong, Yan Ju, and Li Mu who died in battle."

Hearing the sound, Zhao Wangyan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "From now on, you must remember that these four people must not be used. The first two are gloomy and corrupt, but they are also capable. , you have to learn to use it.

The latter two, if you encounter a war, you can entrust them with all your heart, and you have to reuse these four.

Let them fight, quarrel, fight, you don't care, as long as they are together, they will definitely restrain each other as much as possible, so that you will be safe. After you take power, you must learn to suppress the four, and even more You have to learn to cultivate your own cronies, understand?relocate"

"My child understands." Zhao Qian nodded vigorously.

Zhao Wangyan showed a gratified smile again, looked at the prostitute, and said in a low voice: "In the drafting order, Zhao Cong will be made the general, and Yan Ju will be the general."

After saying this, he seemed a little sleepy, "Okay, that's it for today, I'm tired, sleep for a while, Qian'er is by my side."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he slowly closed his eyes.

After that, there was no time of saneness.

Even when he died, he just shouted the word "Fat Qin".

He was seriously ill and died of depression.

Qin State, Xianyang.

Inside Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Yuan was ordered to enter the palace.

This is the case of Zhao envoys entering Qin.

After he discussed with Ying Zheng, it was finally decided that Li Si would negotiate with Zhao Shi.

Li Si readily accepted the order. This kind of thing was originally his specialty.

After the two left the palace, Ying Yuan couldn't help telling him, "Chang Shi, do you know where Shou Ling is?"

The corners of Li Si's mouth rose slightly, and he bowed and said, "I'm back to the Marquis. Of course I understand the humble position. When the Five Kingdoms conquered Qin many years ago, it was taken by the Zhao Kingdom."

Ying Yuan nodded, "The reason why we chose to capture several towns in Wei State instead of going north to recover Shouling is because the city is so high that it is really difficult to capture it in a short period of time.

If it is feasible, as much as possible, we still need to get Shouling back through this negotiation. This city will be the springboard for our Great Qin. We can attack Zhao when we advance, and we can defend Hangu when we retreat. Chang Shi can understand the meaning of this Marquis ? "

Li Si bowed again, "The humble official already knows what to do."

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan nodded lightly, and left the palace contentedly.

Li Si watched him walk away before moving on to show his respect.

Even he respected Ying Yuan more and more. It was conceivable how high the status of the champion is now in the state of Qin.

Half a month later, Guo Kai entered Xianyang.

As soon as he entered the city, before he had time to rest, he went to meet Qin Wangzheng.

But Ying Zheng didn't meet him in person, but arranged for Li Si to meet.

Ying Zheng would not choose to meet him until the conversation reached a certain point.

Inside Zhangtai Palace.

Seeing Li Si, Guo Kai asked in a low voice: "Master Chang Shi, why does the King of Qin not want to see me?"

Coming to Qin, in fact, he was very worried.

I'm really afraid that if I don't pay attention, I will die here.

There wasn't even a body collector at that time.

The latter stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been ill recently and it is inconvenient to see others, but His Majesty specifically told me to accompany Mr. Zhao Guoxiang Bang Guo Kaiguo to see the scenery of Xianyang in the past few days."

Guo Kai smiled wryly: "I'm here this time to discuss with your country the issue of the soldiers of our Zhao country. I hope Chang Shi can make it easier for you to let me go down to see our soldiers of Zhao country first?"

Li Si pondered for a moment, showing embarrassment, "This requires the approval of the king, I have to report to the king, but the king's current body is not suitable for handling government affairs, so it's up to seven days, within seven days, I will definitely Give Xiangbang a satisfactory answer, what do you think?"

"Seven days?"

Guo Kai frowned, not understanding why Qin had to delay.

In fact, as far as Qin Guo is concerned, he just wants to discuss this matter when Zhao Guo is completely anxious. At that time, Zhao Guo will definitely agree to Qin Guo's many conditions in order to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

As for all the food and clothing expenses of the [-] Zhao troops in Qin State, Zhao State will definitely reimburse them all.

Otherwise, not to mention one hundred thousand Zhao troops, even the Zhao State mission would not be able to leave Qin State.

Anyway, Qin has already turned against the six countries, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
