Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 230 The Last Soul

Hearing that the state of Qi was destroyed, Zhao Zheng seemed very happy at least on the surface, and was not affected by the death of the general at all. Not only did he reward all the generals of the Qin army who went out this time, he even stayed in Xianyang, the capital of Qin, for several days. Banquet ministers.

After more than a month, Master Qin returned triumphantly, Qi Wangjian and other Qi royal families were escorted to Xianyang.

"The king of Qi used his strategy to win the battle, cut off the envoys of Qin, and wanted to cause chaos. Fortunately, the soldiers used their lives, and the state of Qi was destroyed. The king and his ministers were all slaughtered. I read Jian's obedience for more than [-] years to prevent him from being punished. You can move with your wife. In Gongcheng, there is Si Ri who will give Dou millet for the rest of his life. After winning, he will be beheaded here."

Qi Wangjian was not disrespectful to Qin State. When the other countries still had their finger, he went to Xianyang to meet King Qin in person. During his more than 40 years in power, he even allowed Qin State to encroach on the six countries a little bit.

Although there is a lesson learned from the New Deal rebellion, Zhao Zheng has a certain degree of wariness towards these subjugated kings, but the actions of Qi State can't find much fault in killing Tian Jian.

It was Qin Wangzheng's arrangement to move to Gongcheng and give him a daily supply of millet.

……

"What, the **** is pregnant?"

An's words almost made Ziying spit out a mouthful of water.

That's right, in order to paralyze Prince Qin's baby, An arranged for An to find a prostitute and general Lu in prison. Now more than a month has passed, and the prostitute suddenly came to the door and said that she was pregnant for more than a month.

And that period of time happened to be when she was arranged by An, who was an internal historian at the time, to serve the general.

This woman has spent so many days with Jianglu day and night, so she naturally knows Jianglu's identity, but she doesn't know anything else. She only knows that this special benefactor with whom she has a dewy marriage is a noble son of the Prince of Qin, but now because of Conspired and committed suicide.

At that time, Jiang Lu just used this ** as a tool to vent, so naturally he didn't say much to her.

After being taken away, she not only received a large reward as a reward, but was also classified as a good citizen, she got rid of her status as a prostitute, and became an ordinary civilian.

Housing prices in Xianyang are too expensive, and she has visited the girl's house, and there are many wealthy businessmen and nobles who know her. She originally wanted to go to the surrounding counties to buy a small yard, but found an honest man to marry.

However, during this period, she would often feel nauseous for no reason, and the doctor found that she was pregnant for more than a month.

Now that he has this child, naturally his goal of finding an honest man to marry Ping Ping Fan will not be easy to achieve.

Even if she is a widow with a child, there will be a reason, and if I am like this, others will definitely think that the child is a wild couple. With this reputation, I am afraid it will be difficult to marry in this life. Might give you a cuckold wife.

Moreover, she knew better that this child's origin is not ordinary, his father is the son of Qin, so his grandfather is the current king of Qin.

Since it was arranged by the internal history at that time for her to serve the general, even if An was moved to be the general's young mansion now, she still found An's mansion.

Hearing this, An also felt a little dizzy, so she rushed to report to Ziying overnight.

"Or let her..." While speaking, Shi An gestured to wipe his neck.

The meaning is very clear, this sudden trouble, or just wipe it out, anyway, no one knows that the child in her belly is Wang Sun.

However, Ziying hesitated. He could be cold-blooded and ruthless towards his enemy Ziying, but it was the general who offended him, not his unborn child.

If the two armies were fighting on the battlefield and killed as many people as Ziying, he wouldn't even blink his eyes, but if he was asked to attack a pregnant woman who was pregnant with a child, he really couldn't do it.

"It's the general's fault, his son is innocent, just report to the king directly."

Ziying waved his hand and said.

"But son..."

"No, but, you just do it." An didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Ziying, who knew that An was worried that the child would take revenge on the two of them if he knew the truth when he grew up.

However, Ziying didn't have so many worries. First, only he and An knew about the news of his death, and it was almost impossible for him to leak it.The second is that even if the king of Qin recognizes his blood because of Jianglu's rebellion, the child will not enjoy the same treatment as the king and grandson. At most, he will be rich and honored for a lifetime.

And when this boy grows up, Ziying doesn't think that his status will be afraid of a boy with little foundation.

"promise!"

Seeing that Ziying had made up her mind, An couldn't say anything more, so she withdrew.

Early the next morning, I went to see King Qin.

Hearing that General An asked to see him, King Qin frowned invisibly. It stands to reason that An had cracked the major case of Jiang Lu's rebellion and should be promoted, but the final result was that he was transferred to a Qingshui yamen.

The reason is that Jiang Lu is the son of King Qin after all. Although he intended to rebel and was caught by An, in the heart of a father, Jiang Lu died because of An. Whenever he sees An, he will think of his dead son, so he loves An. It is also not very popular.

Although Jiang Zuo Shaofu is also a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, he is indeed insulated from the government. It stands to reason that there is nothing important to report to King Qin one-sidedly. In addition, King Qin really didn't want to see An, so he waved his hand a little irritably.

"Alone is unwell, let him go."

……

"Your Majesty is not feeling well. You should come back another day as the young mansion." A well-reported eunuch said.

An recognized that this eunuch was one of the two who went to the prison that day.

"Anshi has a major matter, and I must report it to the king in person. Please report again." After hearing the man's reply, he did not leave immediately, but continued to pester the eunuch and said, "This matter is related to Mr. General Lu."

This eunuch waited on the King of Qin day and night, so it was obvious that the King of Qin was still very concerned about the general, and when An Yi said that he was related to the general, he immediately said, "I will report to the king now."

……

"Say!"

Sure enough, the eunuch was received by the King of Qin immediately after saying that what Ming An reported was related to the general.

As soon as An came in, he fell to the ground obediently, but Zhao Zheng really gave An an angry look, and said only one word very sympathetically.

After all, in his opinion, Jiang Lu's case and the cause of death are very clear, this An coming over may have discovered Jiang Lu's new crime.

At that time, it is just time to let him go overboard and punish him.

Therefore, Zhao Zheng didn't want to say a word at this meeting.

"Reporting to the king, An was foolishly ordered by Mr. Lu to arrange lewd things for him. Fortunately, the king reminded him that he was lost." An didn't care about Zhao Zheng's frown slowly, and looked out for himself. Talked up.

Jiang Lu's suicide happened after the woman was removed, and Zhao Zheng could easily think that it might be his own order that left Jiang Lu without a channel to vent, and fermented his suicide.

"Get to the point!" Zhao Zheng said in a gloomy tone.

"Yes, I originally gave the woman some money to make her living on her own, but yesterday evening she suddenly came to the minister's house and said that she was pregnant."

As soon as An finished speaking, Zhao Zheng stood up immediately.

"Are you sure?" Zhao Zheng said anxiously.

"I have already invited a famous doctor to investigate. This girl is more than one month pregnant, and the time coincided, so I concluded that the child in her belly should be the successor of Prince Jianglu, so I didn't dare to delay, so I came to report to the king early in the morning. said Ann.

"You like what you do very much." After listening to An's narration, Zhao Zheng said with a smile on his face, sweeping away the haze just now.

There are three ways to be unfilial and have no descendants. People in this era attach great importance to heirs and heirs. Although the general is dead, if there are heirs left, it is the best consolation for the general. At least there is no such thing as the general. So cut off.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng didn't even hate seeing An so much anymore. He knew that he was transferred because of Jiang Lu, but he still came to report the news of Jiang Lu's heir as soon as possible.

From Zhao Zheng's point of view, An's behavior completely shows that he is a good minister who is dedicated to the public. If others encounter such a hot potato as the Jianglu case, they will definitely push it out and stop touching it so as not to affect themselves.

This is true for Jiang Lu's sons, and it can also be seen that An has a clear conscience no matter whether Jiang Lu's case was seized or Jiang Lu died in prison.

An's move hit the right track, not only changed Zhao Zheng's impression of him a lot, but also left him with a good impression of an "upright" minister.

Zhao Zheng didn't expect that An's seemingly nonsense behavior at the time would have such a fruit. However, after the joy, Zhao Zheng began to worry about how to arrange for this woman and the future descendants of the general.

Jianglu committed suicide because of treason, and his son naturally cannot restore the same status as the rest of the kings and grandchildren. Something to make myself feel better.

For a while, Zhao Zheng thought of several plans, but he overturned them one by one. He didn't know how to arrange them.

Suddenly, Zhao Zheng saw An who was still kneeling on the ground, and finally came up with a better resettlement method in a flash of inspiration.

"An, I have a task for you alone." Zhao Zheng said in an orderly tone: "When this child is born, I order you to adopt him as an adopted son, but you must not change his surname and still enshrine him as a general."

"The minister takes orders!"

In the eyes of Zhao Zheng, An is already that kind of upright, yet unreasonable courtier. It is really appropriate to teach Wang Sun to such a person to raise him on his behalf.

After hearing Zhao Zheng's arrangement, Ann was also very happy. Judging from Zhao Zheng's actions just now, he definitely cared about the child very much. Being able to raise the grandson on his behalf shows that Zhao Zheng has changed his attitude towards him.

And with this level of relationship, as long as I don't make some principled mistakes, I'm afraid nothing will happen.

……

"Crack, creak..." A carriage that looked as if it would fall apart at any moment, was urged forward by an old man, as if the horse pulling the cart would collapse as soon as it exerted its strength. .

Sitting in the carriage was a lonely old man with red eyes, holding a child who was about three or four years old in his arms.Facing the chilly wind, a line of tears flowed wantonly along the old man's cheeks.

Behind the carriage, there were about thirty or forty women walking along with the carriage.

On the periphery of this group of people were hundreds of elite cavalry on horseback, surrounding the group of old and weak women and children.

This group of people is Qi Wangjian and some of his female family members, and Qi Wangjian is holding his youngest son in his arms, who is only three years old now.

Because Qi State served Qin for 40 years, Qin Wang Zhao Zheng did not kill Qi Wangjian, but ordered people to move him and some female family members to live in Gongcheng.

As for the old man driving the cart, it was Yi Ze, Shangqing of the Qi State. Wang Ben, the son of the nobles who surrendered to the Qi State, did not pay too much, but this Yi Ze voluntarily followed the King of Qi as a prisoner to Xianyang. Moved to the city together.

When the King of Qi was in power, Yi Ze had advised the King of Qi many times to unite the six countries against Qin, and he had also angrily denounced the betrayal of the later victory in the court, but Tian Jianna, who was in power at the time, listened to it more than once. I have reprimanded Yi Ze.

However, at this time, there is only this Yi Ze, who has been displaced with him, and is as respectful as before, and those flattering people in the court back then have long since disappeared.

Led by the cavalry of the Qin Army, Qi Wangjian came to his residence in Gongcheng—a few thatched huts that looked like they could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Throwing down a small bag of corn, the group of knights left here and set up camp not far away. Monitoring Qi Wangjian was also one of their responsibilities.

And this bag of corn is all the food for these three or forty people for ten days.

Although Zhao Zheng ordered to supply one bucket of millet every day, he had already heard that some soldiers who were instructed face-to-face by the big bosses in the court would not supply according to the amount, and even if they did not skimp at all, they still felt that there was not enough for these thirty or forty mouths.

Soon at night, a palace official cooked a pot of corn porridge, and first brought a bowl to Qi Wangjian, but he couldn't drink it after looking at the bowl of porridge.

Turning his head to look at the three or forty people who followed him, everyone had only half a bowl in their bowls. After all, no one could tell that these food must be saved, otherwise they would definitely not last ten days.

Qi Wangjian greeted his young son with some regret. "Father is not hungry, you can eat." Then he pointed the rim of the bowl at his son's mouth, but Qi Wangjian's youngest son just took a bite and spit it out.

"Father, I want to drink meat porridge, not such a nasty thing." Qi Wangjian's youngest son cried bitterly.

Qi Wangjian's young son didn't know about his current identity change, so he just started crying on his own.

The princess on one side had no choice but to hug the little prince and comfort him with the palace servants.

"Your Majesty, you'd better eat something, it's important to take care of yourself." Yi Ze comforted him.

This place is in the outskirts of Gongcheng, except for the pines and cypresses everywhere, there is no human habitation at all. At night, the cold wind blows through the pines and cypresses, and the sound seems to be crying.

In the middle of the night, Qi Wangjian's youngest son woke up from hunger and cried.Qi Wangjian woke up and saw this scene, but he was crying silently accompanied by the sound of pines and cypresses.

Thinking about how well-clothed and well-fed he was in Qi State back then, but now that his youngest son wants to drink meat porridge, he can't do it, and he is helpless.

"I'll go to the Qin army to ask for one or two." Yi Ze stood up and walked towards the Qin army camp not far away.

After a long while, Yi Ze came back, holding a bowl of meat porridge that had already cooled down.Several palace people hurriedly took it and fed it to the little prince.

When passing by Qi Wangjian's side, he clearly smelled a strong fishy smell from Yi Ze's body, most of his clothes were wet, and even his head was wet.

Qi Wangjian understood that the liquid on Yi Ze's body was human urine, and it was conceivable that Yi Ze had been insulted so much that he begged for this bowl of porridge.

"Gu, I'm sorry!" Qi Wangjian said with tears.

From this day on, Qi Wangjian shed tears day and night and refused to eat a grain of rice.Four days later, Qi Wangjian died of starvation, the palace people fled, and Yi Ze killed himself in front of Qi Wangjian's corpse.
