Qin Official

"Did you see Hei Fu die in battle with your own eyes?"

That night, Qin Shihuang occupied the entire Anlu County Temple and used it as a temporary palace. He asked Ziying to report everything exactly.

Ziying started talking about leaving Huangxi Pass and continued until they were suddenly attacked by thousands of Yue people outside Hengpu Pass. The road had a steep slope and Heifu could not escape, so he was surrounded by Yue people. Ziying escaped by luck and turned around. , but saw that Hei Fu had disappeared among the enemy, and even the banner of the monarch was broken...

He leaned over and said: "We are small and dare not turn back to rescue. We can only rush to Hengpu Pass with the soldiers and let the defenders go to rescue, but..."

Ziying said the saddest part: "But there was only blood on the ground, and there were headless dead people and broken limbs everywhere. The body of Marquis Changnan was nowhere to be found. It was probably taken back to the forest by the Yue people." .”

Ziying described that the South Vietnamese were not only headhunters but also cannibals of human flesh. Changnan Marquis and hundreds of his subordinates probably became their food.

"Anpu, the captain of the Three Passes, was shocked when he heard the news. He dispatched 5,000 men to attack the Yue people. However, the Yue people were cunning and retreated into the forest to avoid fighting. There was nothing the Qin army could do. And after hearing that the Marquis of Changnan died, the originally peaceful places The Yue people rebelled again. I heard from Captain Sanguan that his people burned down the pavilions and dug out the roads. Now the road to Panyu has been cut off and everything is in chaos. Changnanhou's old troops are eager to take revenge on the general. Step up the suppression..."

After Ziying finished explaining the cause and effect, Qin Shihuang just listened quietly. After being silent for a long time, he asked: "Did Mr. Hei have any last words?"

It sounds like the emperor believes that Hei Fu is indeed gone?

Ziying paid his respects again and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changnan often chatted with me along the way. What he cares most about is not his position as a tenant, let alone his land and wealth, but his Majesty's immortality!"

"The Marquis of Changnan firmly believes that although the nine states are separated by snowy mountains and deserts, they are also connected by sea water. He would like to ask your majesty to make him the general of the building and ship, leave Panyu, go to the South China Sea, and find a sea route to the Western Queen Mother State. . In the end, we may be able to join forces with General Li Xin in the west, with white horses and black dogs, and defeat the troops together, opening a way for His Majesty to go west..."

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Changnan was loyal to Da Qin and your Majesty until his death!"

After Ziying finished speaking, Qin Shihuang stood up with the help of his chamberlain.

"One of my most valued white horses and black dogs has gone away, and I don't know when he will come back, but the other one died in the hands of a mere Yue slave?"

The old emperor sighed:

"I never thought that the farewell to Jieshi two and a half years ago would be the last time I saw him!"

The eldest son ran away and his beloved general died in battle. Qin Shihuang looked at the night outside Anlu City with his hands behind his hands. He didn't say anything until Ziying left, and only coughed from time to time.

And his eyes seemed happy and sad...

It seems suspicious again!

…

After Ziying finished telling the story and resigned, he didn't waste a moment. While undressing and bathing, he asked the old eunuch who had been with Chang'an Jun Chengqi in his early years. After Chengqi defected, he had taken care of him since he was a child. Han Tan invited Qin Shihuang to visit the south, and his eldest son, Ziying, who was 14 years old, accompanied him. Han Tan also followed at the end of the team.

"During my absence, such drastic changes occurred in the DPRK!?"

Ziying stopped untying his clothes and looked at him in shock. Not only were there rumors of "the one who killed Qin was black", but Mo was assassinated, Fusu ran away and disappeared again, and the family members of the Marquis of Changnan were also missing.

"Is this the real reason why His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of his physical condition, personally patrolled the south, and asked the Marquis of Changnan to come to Zhu City to meet him!?"

It was cold in spring, but he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the world was about to be in chaos.

When Ziying was trembling, Han Tan, as Ziying's housekeeper and schemer, also asked about what happened in Lingnan:

"So, Wang Sun did not see him being killed with his own eyes, and the body of Marquis Changnan was not found?"

Ziying nodded, and the beardless old eunuch touched his smooth chin and said with a smile: "In this case, there is still doubt whether the Marquis of Changnan is alive or dead."

Ziying said disapprovingly: "Few people who were captured by the Yue people survived, and most of their subordinates thought that Changnanhou was dead and were heartbroken. Of course, there is a one in 10,000 chance that Changnanhou He was just imprisoned by Yue people..."

"That's all."

Han Tan bluntly pointed out a possibility: "The old minister even suspected that this Vietnamese attack might have been planned by the Marquis of Changnan himself! He is not dead at all!"

Ziying slapped the case and stood up: "Weng Han, how dare you speak nonsense!"

"It's not an old servant's random guess."

Han Tan rolled up his sleeves and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Your Majesty has doubts about the Marquis of Changnan because of the black man who killed Qin and the young master's support of Su to run south. After all, whether in the north or in Haidong, The Marquis of Changnan worked with Fusu, so of course he was part of Fusu's party. Fusu ran away and took his family with him, cementing this relationship. Now Fusu is missing, maybe he has arrived in Lingnan …”

He analyzed: "Now that Fu Su has lost his throne, His Majesty has sent Hu Hai, the eighteenth son, to serve in the Fu army. He may be the future heir. Under this situation, the Marquis of Changnan has become the most unstable corner of the Qin Dynasty. . In order to prevent the Qin Dynasty from being divided into two, His Majesty can only deal with the Marquis of Changnan."

"Therefore, if the Marquis of Changnan comes to Zhu City, he will be relieved of his military power, or executed! If he does not come, he will openly rebel, and he will be punished by the emperor, and his family will be killed!"

Han Tan said: "Even the old servant can think of the result, but the Marquis of Changnan can't think of it? This was originally a dilemma. Life and death depended on your Majesty's hands, but now..."

He chuckled: "The Marquis of Changnan died suddenly! At this time, the court was in a panic. Believe it or not, how to deal with the funeral has become a dilemma for His Majesty. But the Marquis of Changnan can be dormant in the dark. , observe the direction of the wind and adapt to changes in time! This is a clever strategy, no less than Duke Huan of Qi when Xiaobai feigned death when he was hit by an arrow!"

The old eunuch's analysis was profound. After saying this, he handed over his hand to Ziying: "Actually, Wang Sun has already seen it, right?"

"Han Tan..."

Ziying was silent for a long time, and finally spoke. However, her honest and simple expression changed in front of Hei Fu and Qin Shihuang, and her smile became playful.

"Weng Han, my father, Lord Chang'an, is he smart?"

Speaking of Cheng Qi, who has been dead for many years, Han Tan showed a trace of sadness.

"The Lord of Chang'an is one of the most intelligent people in the world. In terms of martial arts and poetry, he is better than your Majesty today."

"But Han Weng, he became a lost dog!"

Ziying's face was serious: "Because he is too smart and always wants to be the first in everything, who in the country didn't know about the things that happened to the Empress Dowager Zhao, Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai at that time? Everyone pretended not to know, but it was better for him to do it. These rubbish things have been revealed in the hope that His Majesty will be accused of not being of the late king’s blood, so that the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Xia will support him in seizing the throne!”

"But I never thought that Queen Mother Xia died first, and he fell into Lao Ai's scheme and had no choice but to rebel against Qin and surrender to Zhao. If His Majesty was not dissatisfied with Lao Ai and others' behavior and still had a trace of kindness, I would have almost died in my infancy. He was brutally killed!"

Han Tan knelt down and said, "The king and grandson atone for their sins. It's the old servant who talks too much..."

Ziying sighed: "Han Weng is not guilty, it's just that I have my own way of doing things. Sometimes, it seems that I am honest and thrifty, as if I am kept in the dark about everything, and I am even used as a fool or a tool. There is nothing wrong with that." , not only me, I will also teach my son to keep this sentence in mind..."

"Zhuangzi said: The straight trees are cut down first, and the sweet wells are exhausted first. Therefore, their ranks are not blocked, and outsiders' soldiers are not harmed, so they are free from trouble..."

"A wise man will not live long, but a fool will live for a hundred years!"

After recounting the grievances of his father's generation, Ziying sat down again, regained his former peace, and showed an honest smile.

"Han Fei said it well. There are hundreds of battles in a day. This incident will allow His Majesty to compete with the Marquis of Changnan who does not know life and death. Let the monarch and his ministers scheming! No matter what the outcome is, no one will blame me, the 'fool' On the head!"

…

In the temporary palace of Anlu County Temple, Qin Shihuang, who was so weak that it was difficult to concentrate, came up with the answer after being interrupted by coughs many times.

"Heifu, Heifu, are you really like that incompetent Tu Sui, who died in such a ridiculous and coincidental death?"

"Or maybe you didn't die at all, but you felt guilty and scared, so you faked your death to deceive me!?"

Although he had doubts, Qin Shihuang knew very well that under the current situation, it was extremely difficult to prove that Hei Fu was still alive. Even if he immediately sent people to Lingnan to conduct a thorough investigation, when the results were obtained, there might be three or four The month has passed.

It turned out that Hei Fu didn't know whether Qin Shihuang was alive or dead, let alone his attitude towards life and death.

Nowadays, Qin Shihuang doesn't know whether Hei Fu is alive or dead, and all the arrangements he planned to make in Zhu City have come to nothing.

And Heifu was hiding in the darkness, observing the situation.

But the minister has his concealment strategy, and the king also has his bright magic weapon!

"Hide your secrets from below and test them from above."

"Use the measurement to cut it off!"

This is a war without gunpowder, a contest between life and death, and the final intrigue between the monarch and his ministers...

But Qin Shihuang is a veteran among them. He has fought against the three queen mothers, Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, Gongzu, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Han Fei and even Li Si, and he is very proficient in this way.

As if he had regained his energy, Qin Shihuang raised his palms and his eyes were full of contempt.

"You don't know what you can do!"

In his opinion, Heifu's tricks were really ridiculous.

"A matter of life and death."

"Truth can be false."

“False can also be true.”

"Even if Heifu fakes his death and escapes, I will force him to 'die', completely and completely!"

Emperor Qin Shihuang called Zhao Gao and asked him to write.

"I am sending an edict to inform the world that the Marquis of Changnan, Heifu, died in the battle in Lingnan! The Emperor has pity on him and will honor his mother, brother, and sister, and have him move to Xianyang together with the families of tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers from the Southern Expedition!"

"I will also posthumously title Hei Fu the Marquis of Che!"

Not only did he want to treat Hei Husband with the utmost respect, but he also wanted to seal Hui Hei's coffin and let that word be branded on him! Regardless of life or death!

Qin Shihuang smiled:

"The name of the marquis: Marquis Wu Zhong!"
