Competing

Chapter 391
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, but blessings never come singly. Sometimes happiness is so sudden and unexpected.

It was good news for Yin Xu that Liu Bang was leaving the customs. When he was excited, another piece of good news came from the harem.

In the early morning, Li Yuniang, Lu Luo, and Ying Ziye had dinner together. After preparing the meal, they waited for her husband Yin Xu to arrive.

Every morning, Yin Xu would go to the school grounds to lead the soldiers to exercise in the morning, setting an example. After returning, they had breakfast before starting to deal with military and political affairs.
As for the night, Yin Xu slept in the three women's dormitories one by one, and no one complained about the rain and dew.The three wives in the harem can be said to get along well and live in harmony.

When Yin Xu came in, the three daughters sat in their original positions and paid attention to their husband. Yin Xu smiled lightly: "You guys eat first, don't wait for the widows!"

"The king of Yue doesn't move his chopsticks, how can we dare to eat?" Ying Ziye was in a good mood when he came to the country of Yue, showing a playful nature from time to time.

Yin Xu chuckled: "You girl is very energetic, if I had known last night, why did I call for gold and withdraw in advance!"

Ying Ziye lowered his head involuntarily, his face was slightly hot and rosy.There was still some slight pain in a private part of the body. Li Yuniang and Lu Luo knew her husband very well, and they both laughed without saying a word.

"Okay, let's eat, or the soup will be cold!" Li Yuniang reminded.

Only then did the three girls move the tableware, and Yin Xu sighed while eating: "Oh, looking at you, I can't eat anymore!"

"Ah?" The three girls were all startled, Ying Ziye rolled his eyes and said, "Sisters, my husband dislikes us for being too ugly, which affects his appetite!"

Although Li Yuniang was reserved, she occasionally joked: "Since this is the case, we will serve the king without words. From tonight, we will all thank guests behind closed doors!"

This is a great threat, guarding a bunch of beautiful girls like flowers and jade, but also being an ascetic monk, isn't it just asking for guilt.Hastily smiled and said: "The ladies misunderstood the meaning of the widow. It is because you are so beautiful. You are so beautiful and delicious. Looking at you will make you full. Where do you need to eat?"

When the three ladies heard this, they all laughed at Yan Yan and ate their meals with smiles.

Lu Luo had just brought the bowl to her mouth, when she suddenly swayed, turned around and retched.Of
"Luluo, what's wrong with you?"

"Sister, are you okay?"

Li Yuniang and Ying Ziye hurriedly asked, and Yin Xu's eyes were also full of concern.

"It's okay!" Lu Luo got up and just finished, when she suddenly felt a little sick again.

"Sister, are you sick? The spirit has not been very good these days!"

Yin Xu listened, his face couldn't help showing a gleam of joy, he walked over and whispered a few words in Luluo's ear.

Lu Luo suddenly blushed and shook her head slightly.

Immediately, a look of joy appeared on Yin Xu's face, and he shouted to the door: "Go and invite the doctor!"

Luluo herself was good at the orpiment technique, a gleam of joy appeared in her eyes, she looked at Yin Xu expectantly, and involuntarily put her palm on her lower abdomen.

Although Li Yuniang and Ying Ziye were young and inexperienced, they were women after all, so they all understood now.

Ying Ziye asked, "Sister Luluo is really pregnant?"

A happy smile appeared on Luluo's face, and she whispered: "You don't know yet? Let's talk about it after the doctor has seen it!"

The number of people in the palace of the Yue King was increasing, and doctors and doctors were always on hand. When they received the call from the King of Yue, experienced doctors who were around 50 years old immediately rushed over.This person's surname is Huang, and he is a man of high skill in the palace. He mainly diagnoses pulses and treats important people.

Since Bian Que invented the four-diagnosis method of looking, hearing, asking, and cutting, doctors of later generations have basically been like this. After listening to Lu Luo's description of the situation, Doctor Huang also had a smile on his face.

Respectfully said: "Madam Luluo, please extend your hand, I will not be sure until I have a pulse diagnosis!"

Luluo stretched out her bright wrist slowly, feeling a little eager and looking forward to it.Although I have already guessed that it is close to ten, but after all, doctors are not autonomous, and I am not surprised by such things, but the final result is still for the doctor to confirm.

In this era, there is no defense between men and women. Moreover, the doctor's pulse diagnosis is for the sake of the body, but there is no such thing as the so-called thread-diagnosing method of the later generations.

Doctor Huang closed his eyes and made a diagnosis. He knew that the matter was of great importance, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.After a while, Doctor Huang withdrew his hands and took a step back, bowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Mrs. Luluo is more than a month pregnant!"

"what?"

Perhaps the happiness came a little too suddenly, Lu Luotan's mouth opened slightly, and if that was the case, there was boundless joy in her heart.The palm was gently placed on the lower abdomen, and the face was full of happiness, with a bit of maternal love.

Yin Xu was also very happy. As a time traveler, he was alone in this world without father or mother.Now that he has his own flesh and blood, at this moment, Yin Xu has the feeling of truly blending into this world.He stretched out his hand and gently held Luluo in his arms, showing great love!

Both Li Yuniang and Ying Ziye said happily: "Congratulations sister (sister)!" Of course, there was also a slight sourness in their hearts, and they all looked forward to being pregnant as soon as possible.They are not in a hurry now. After all, they have not served Yin Xu for a long time. Lu Luo was the first to be favored.
Yin Xu excitedly said: "Doctor Huang, I need to trouble you more about the green radish's miscarriage!"

Dr. Huang knows the medical skills that the green clothes understand. When the king was injured in Kuaiji Mountain, it was cured by the green radish, but there is a saying that the doctor cannot heal himself.Immediately agreed: "Yes, I will try my best to take care of Mrs. Luluo's body."

……

Immediately, the news that Mrs. Luluo was pregnant spread throughout the ruling and opposition parties.

When Ying Shiman heard the news, a bold and worried look appeared on her face, and she said to Wei Liao, "Oh, I was kicked out first!"

Wei Liao said with a smile: "Okay, this is a good thing, the king of Yue should be happy to have a queen, don't sigh."

Ying Shiman sighed: "Oh, this is a big deal. It is related to who will be the queen of Yue in the future. Didn't you say that the offspring is the most important thing. Now that Luluo is pregnant, if she gives birth to a boy, she will be the king of Yue. The eldest son, this..."

Wei Liao said helplessly: "Then what do you say? What do you want?"

Ying Shiman froze immediately, and said in a low voice: "I'm just worried, I'm just talking!"

Wei Liao said with a smile: "Isn't there no birth yet? I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Why worry? Today I can only say these words here, otherwise Ziye and the officials of the Qin family will be trapped in injustice. "

Ying Shiman nodded helplessly: "Okay, I got it! Isn't the king of Yue summoning you? Go ahead!"

……

When Yin Xu entered the imperial study, the ministers were already waiting there with smiles.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" As soon as Yin Xu entered the door, congratulations from the ministers came up.

It goes without saying that Yin Xu is in a happy mood at the moment when people are in good spirits on happy occasions. He immediately smiled and said, "We are happy together!"

"Let's talk about the situation in the north first!" Yin Xu brought up the matter as soon as he sat down. Of course, Lu Luo's pregnancy is worth celebrating.But it can't be used for public expenses and private interests. The matter in the north is the key, which is related to the future and survival of the Yue Kingdom.

Pu Jun replied: "It is indeed as the king expected. As soon as Liu Bang's army left Hangu Pass, the princes of the Central Plains followed up. Of course, many of them were forced. Now Liu Bang claims that the army has reached 56 Ten thousand people. Thinking of this numbers game, there should be at least 40 people.”

Yin Xu chuckled, these things are expected, as for the number of troops, it is of course not true.Throughout the ages, it is common to lie about the number of troops. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao went south to conquer Jiangdong and claimed to have an army of 80!No matter what the specific number is, it is an indisputable fact that there are many troops.

Yin Xu asked: "By the way, where is Xiang Yu? What's the news from Qi Chu?"

Su An replied: "The army of the Qi State fought back desperately. Now the battle is fierce. It is estimated that there will be no results in a short time. It is impossible for Xiang Yu to withdraw the army casually."

"What's wrong with Qi Guotian Rong? Helping Liu Bang like this?"

Everyone is a sensible person, so they naturally know the crux of it.One of the most important reasons why Liu Bang dared to be so arrogant and hastily left the customs was because of Tian Rong's deeds, which tightly restrained the Qi army, leaving Xiang Yu with no time to look around.The result of Tian Rong's doing this is naturally the king of Han Liu Bang, which does not have much benefit to Qi itself, but the Qi army did do this, which makes people quite surprised and puzzled.

Su An said: "One thing is rather strange. According to the news from Linzi, Qi Wang Tianshi is seriously ill, and now he is recuperating. Tian Rong is in charge of all domestic military and political affairs."

Dong Yi smiled and said, "Is there any difference? Since when is Tian Rong not in charge of Qi's affairs?"

Su An said: "There is an unusual thing. It is said that Qi Xiang Tian Rong once returned to Linzi a few days ago, and then this happened. Thinking about the fierce fighting between Qi and Chu, it stands to reason that Tian Rong should be in Linzi at this time. The front line is commanding carefully, why did they suddenly leave the front line and return to Linzi? So there must be some unknown things happening.”

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Although the power of the Qi State has always been in the hands of Tian Rong, Tian Shi is the real King of Qi anyway. If Tian Shi has always been willing to be his uncle's puppet, then there is no problem in living in peace. If Tian Shi is unwilling...then, what will happen to Qi State?"

"Cause Xiao Qiang?"

Yin Xu nodded: "Maybe something has happened to Qi!"

Li Sidao: "It doesn't matter. No matter who is in charge of Qi State, as long as they can restrain Xiang Yu, it will have no special impact on us. Judging from the current situation, Qi State has not been affected by this. Stable, that's enough!"

"Who wins and who loses in this battle?" Gao Yi had such a question.

Yin Xu laughed and said, "You should ask General Zhang Han and Mr. Wei Liao about this matter!"

Zhang Han respectfully said: "Mr. Wei Liao is here, the general will not dare to use an axe!"

Wei Liao said with a smile: "If Tian Rong can desperately hold Xiang Yu back and not give Xiang Yu a chance to come back, then Liu Bang's victory is very possible. But how should this victory be defined? Xiang Yu's main force is now They are all on the border of Qi and Chu, if Liu Bang wins, what should we say? Is it a victory by contributing or occupying Pengcheng? Or is it a victory by defeating or annihilating Xiang Yu's army?"

Everyone heard a bit of knowledge from it, Su Jiao said: "Mr. Wei Liao means that even if Liu Bang captures Pengcheng, it may not be considered a victory?"

Wei Liao nodded and said: "According to the current situation, if Xiang Yu cannot return to the army in time and block the coalition forces to the west of Daliang, it is entirely possible that the Western Chu Kingdom will lose its land, and even Pengcheng will be lost. But can Liu Bang hold on? Pengcheng is the key, victory or defeat depends on it!"

Zhang Han shook his head and sighed: "Once the coalition forces occupy Pengcheng, they will be overjoyed, and even feel extravagant. Arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Moreover, Liu Bang's men are now all coalition forces from all over the world. It is difficult to convey the military orders, which is dangerous! "

Who else knows these things better than Yue Wang Yinxu?Yin Xu sighed softly: "Let them play, let's continue preparing for the war. From now on, our Vietnamese army will go north to fight, and the official duties should be determined."

Everyone was shocked. Yin Xu was not in a hurry to establish his official rank when he first arrived in Yue Kingdom.Now it can be seen that the Yue Wang family has deep intentions, and the reason may be to wait for the arrival of these big shots.The following Li Si, Wei Liao, including Chen Ping, are indeed some heavyweights, which is shocking.

Yin Xu raised his head and glanced at the crowd, seeing everyone's reactions and expressions in his eyes, and said in silence for a moment: "The initial consideration of the widow is this, Mr. Chen Ping will be the prime minister, and the Taiwei still has to work hard." Mr. Wei Liao, Gao Yi will serve as the imperial censor."

The first two people were all expected, Wei Liao was a former Qin Guotai Lieutenant, who can be better than him in military affairs?So such an arrangement is even more well deserved.As for Chen Ping, when he was in Guanzhong, Yin Xu had promised that the position of Prime Minister of Yue would be vacant, and now he is fulfilling his promise.Furthermore, Chen Ping's knowledge and talent are obvious to all, and he is hardly inferior to Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang. Such a person does not need to be Zaifu, who should he use?
As for Gao Yi's appointment as the imperial censor, this was a bit unexpected, and even Gao Yi himself thought it was a bit too sudden.why would you said this?Because there was someone more suitable than him in front of him, and that was Li Si.As far as the current situation is concerned, in the country of Yue, the most experienced and capable people are undoubtedly Li Si, Wei Liao and Chen Ping.

But there is no Li Si in the position of the three princes. This Li Cheng was Qin Shihuang's right-hand man at the beginning, helping Qin Shihuang to manage Qin's government affairs in an orderly manner.It can be said that Li Si contributed a lot to Qin's ability to rule the world.The first phase of the ages is absolutely true. Even though he is older now, he is old and strong, and has richer experience.

Chen Ping just smiled and said nothing. When he was happy, he knew it well: King Yue is a check and balance!
The king of Yue did not adopt the practice of standing side by side with the left and right prime ministers, but adopted the system of three lords and nine ministers, the purpose of which is to balance domestic power.Now the proportion of civil servants and military generals of the Qin Dynasty in the court is too high, which must be vigilant for any king.Among the three princes, he can be said to be alone, and Gao Yi is the courtier who has followed Yin Xu for the longest time, so it can be said that he has taken care of this aspect.

To a certain extent, it was too high of his confidant series, which to a certain extent suppressed the ministers of the Qin family.

Yin Xu ignored everyone's reaction, and continued: "Zhang Han is the general, Pu Jun, Su An, Su Jiao, Dong Yi, and Wu Zhu are the generals, and we need everyone to help the widows share their worries in this matter of marching and fighting! "

Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the title "General" has a special meaning to him, and when he thinks of all the past, his heart is filled with emotion.

There is one general and five generals, three of whom are former Qin people.However, Su Jiao joined Yin Xu earlier, so he can be regarded as Yin Xu's confidant.Although Zhang Han and Dong Yi had a close relationship with Yin Xu and received favors from Yin Xu before, they were brought to Yue by Wei Liao after all, so they should be included in the Qin family.Pu Jun and Su An are Yin Xu's confidantes in a complete sense, and they have been with them the longest. Wu Zhu is also a general of Fujian and Yue, and it is also a care for the forces in this area.

Basically achieved a balance, of course, it is very difficult to achieve perfection.Looking at the overall situation, the power of Qin State above the court of Yue State is still the most powerful, but now is the time for employing people, and they have to rely on them more.Chen Ping saw it in his heart, he knew that the king of Yue would further dilute Qin's power in the future.Although Yin Xu is young, he is very talented in an absolute sense. He will never tolerate any line whose strength is so strong that it threatens his status.

It is certain that in the future, there will be an even distribution in the court of the Yue Kingdom, and the power will always be in the hands of Desire Yin Xu, and it will always be the same.Just like the court, King Yue will never easily determine the candidate for the queen in a short period of time.

At this moment, everyone was more curious about how Yin Xu would arrange for Li Si and the others.Including Zhou Da and Lu Ming, who have been following him all the time, and Dongou Siming, there is no clear arrangement.

Yin Xulang said: "Zhou Da is the governor of Dongou County, Lu Ming is the governor of Fanyi County, and Si Ming is the governor of Kuaiji County. In order to ensure the stability of the south and at the same time prevent South Vietnam from going north, I hope that General Dong Yi will lead the army to go south and guard the south. Xinjiang!"

Dong Yi was slightly taken aback, guarding the south, although he is still a general in name, but his real power is not as good as it is!But he is also a smart man, knowing that this is the king of Yue's check and balance technique, it is impossible for him to stay with Zhang Han all the time and lead more troops, so he nodded in agreement.

Everyone saw it, and none of the important ministers had any objections, which showed that they at least acquiesced in this matter.So they all kept silent and obeyed King Yue's edict.

What everyone is most concerned about now is Li Si's arrangement.

Yin Xu said: "Mr. Li Si is old, so he will be the internal historian and help the widow to make suggestions!"
