Chapter 379 Breaking the stillness
The autumn harvest has passed, and the lights in Xianyang City are brightly lit. Although there is still a curfew, and there are no people on the road at night, the guards and Wu Changbing disperse the rare treasures from the Western Regions to thousands of families as rewards, and all the people reward them. Just because there is a successor to the King of Qin.
However, despite the celebrations, there was also some secret criticism. After all, the prince had Hu ancestry, so it was inevitable that he still had old resentments against the Hu people in his heart. The people also hoped that Mrs. Bo would be the first to give birth to a son, but unfortunately things backfired.
"The Hu people are cruel and short-sighted, and their bloodline will not be able to carry forward the great cause. I think the ministers in the court must have thought about it. If the queen has a queen, the crown prince's position will definitely change."
"I am afraid that there will be a dispute between kings and heirs in the future. I hope that the king will take precautions early so that the Qin Dynasty can avoid the disaster that year."
There are many people who say this, and Zi Ying often hears it outside the palace, but does not take it to heart at all. The "Khan of Heaven" who will be famous in the world in later generations is at least three-quarters of Xianbei blood, and Xianbei origin
The Donghu who were destroyed by Maodun were no different from the Xiongnu.
The capital of Tian Khan is also within the pass, next to the Xianyang ruins. He was born after the flying general Li Guang, and Li Guang was after the Qin general Li Xin. It is said that he has quite a connection with the Great Qin...
When Zi Ying held her infant son in the palace, she saw the innate decisiveness in the baby's eyes, which proved that he was an extraordinary person.
As for the possible war among the scholars in the future, after all, it has not happened yet and everything can be avoided...
"The king didn't stay in the palace with his wife, how could he get here?"
Mo Yunyu spoke, but did not look at Ziying. He was holding the long string with both hands, and his eyes were focused on the flaming kite flying in the sky.
"I have been accompanying my wife carefully for several months, and we have been celebrating for several days. It's time to go out of the city to get some fresh air." Ziying sat aside and said calmly.
"Is this really true? I'm afraid the king doesn't dare to return to the palace now, right?" Mo Yunyu said with a smile, "I have heard that the king is always worried that the officials in Bashu will change their minds. Although Ding Fu, Fu Kuan and others went on the expedition,
It will be fine when he returns. Only Chongda, Tang Li and others still need to be bribed. The prince's birth is an excellent opportunity. In order to bribe his ministers, the king promised Tang Li that Chongda would become the crown prince and tutor.
He is courageous and good at speaking, his swordsmanship is unique, his writing and martial arts are all in accordance with the law, and he is conscientious in secret."
"Stop talking nonsense. I don't have the heart to understand such things at this point." Ziying frowned, slightly impatient.
"Ha..." Mo Yunyu remained unmoved, "This proves that the king's ministers are worried about the safety of the prince. In the past few days, they have spoken many words to obstruct the prince, but the king ignored them. The king really does not need to pay attention to the words of his ministers. This
One of them is from a famous family, the other is well-known in the world, and neither of them will do anything sinister. Such a great favor is needed to cut off his thoughts of Liu Bang."
Mo Yunyu then turned around with a wicked smile, "But... the prince was reduced to a pawn after his birth. I wonder if he will blame the king if he finds out about this in the future? Ah——"
Mo Yunyu suddenly felt a pain in his leg. He leaned forward and let go of the flying kite in his hand. The flames fell onto the roof and a fire suddenly broke out.
"I am aware of my guilt!"
Mo Yunyu confessed his crime, but did not show any sign of it. A man in black clothes flew onto the roof in an attempt to put out the fire. However, no matter how hard he slapped him, the fire gradually grew in size.
"Idiot, don't slap me, just slap me with your clothes!" Ziying said urgently.
Mo Yunyu was indeed like this, but his clothes ignited when they were exposed to fire. As he moved in a panic, several roofs were set alight.
"Zi Ying! Why don't you come to help!" Mo Yunyu became angry and shouted regardless of the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.
Ziying was about to help, but when he saw the fire filling the air, he saw a different scene in his eyes.
That day, the elixir exploded in Xianyang Palace, and many houses were destroyed. It was like this, but the person responsible was no longer here.
"Ziying!"
Mo Yunyu was still shouting, but Ziying remained motionless, quietly watching the fire spread.
After a while, a man with a black face rushed out of the fire, with a sad face, "Forget it, it can't be put out."
"That's fine, let's wait until it's burned down and then build a new house." Ziying said calmly, then changed the subject, "Is there any progress in Mr. Lingfen's construction?"
"No!" Mo Yunyu waved his torn sleeves angrily, "The elixir is too strong and no iron weapon can be used to carry it for a long time. However, it is possible to use it without a horse. If Mr. Lingfen is still here, maybe there is
Other methods."
After saying this, the two of them fell silent, remembering the Taoist elder under the cover of night.
Ziying escaped from the complicated affairs and came here alone because he was attracted by the intersection of Mo Yunyu and Lingfen. Only here can he find exclusive peace.
"The king already has an heir, and the court can be peaceful. I wonder if he still cares about the people of Qi Di." Mo Yunyu suddenly said.
"The Chu Kingdom is weak, and I will welcome it back. Unfortunately, the time is not ripe, and it will take some time." Ziying replied in a low voice.
"I hope it will be as the king wishes, and I won't have any chaos in my life." Mo Yunyu sighed.
The firelight danced, and the guards had climbed up the ladder to the room to fetch fire and put out water. The shadows of the two sitting quietly swayed from side to side.
"Your Majesty, return to Xianyang quickly. I will study day and night and will definitely create a weapon for continuous shooting." Mo Yunyu stood up and said.
"I hope Aiqing will succeed soon." Ziying nodded and said. There is a long way to go before being weak. The only way to get ahead is to be strong. As long as Mo Yunyu succeeds, there is no need for any conspiracy and tricks, he can just use force to get it.
Ziying gathered his thoughts and was about to leave. Suddenly he saw a black shadow holding a sword approaching from outside the palace in the flames. Mo Yunyu subconsciously drew his sword to protect Ziying.
Ziying could see that the black shadow was definitely above Mo Yunyu. If there was a confrontation, Mo Yunyu would never be his opponent. But the black shadow suddenly stopped.
"When I saw the fire burning here, I thought the king was in trouble, but I actually broke in unintentionally."
The black shadow sheathed his sword and knelt down. Ziying recognized this person.
"Master Chong?"
"I'm here."
Chongda was extremely humble, and Mo Yunyu turned around and smiled evilly at Ziying, secretly saying that his plan to win over people's hearts was indeed effective.
"Why are Master Chong here?" Ziying asked with a frown.
"Back to the king, Yingbu has decided to send his troops to the north, and we need to respond to Maodun." Zhongda's tone shrank.
"Even for this matter, I shouldn't bother Taifu Chong." Mo Yunyu asked.
"This... is because of another matter. Ordinary people dare not tell the king about this." Chongda hesitated for a while, "Xiang Yu sent someone to Qin to pass a message. Mo Chu has returned to Qin and will marry Mrs. Ying..."
"Bastard! Xiang Yu is so provocative, he should be killed!" Mo Yunyu was furious, and suddenly realized that he had made a mistake in his words. He grabbed Ziying's arm in panic and glared, "The weapon of attack has not yet been completed, so it is unreasonable to send troops at this moment.
It’s a good time. Your Majesty, please stay a little longer, my ministers..."
"No! I will send troops together with Mao Dun and Ying Bu! Don't say anything, gentlemen!" Zi Ying's face was as solid as water.
...
In Pengcheng, Fan Zeng was already lying on the couch, murmuring, "Zi Ying still has a weakness. In the past, when Qin envoys made plans, Chu rushed to respond, which was really a bad idea. Today, when Chu comes up with plans, if Zi Ying dares to respond, he will die.
