The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain - 563. Xiang Shaolong rebels
Enter the palace.
Qin Yiren commended Xiang Shaolong on the spot for his escorting all the way. He groaned, and then said: “Xiang Shaolong, since you and Zheng’er have an old relationship, and your swordsmanship is commendable in other countries. You defeated Hongying Master Lian Jin, and again For having such insight into the political affairs of other countries, I… I will make you the Crown Prince’s Young Master, and I hope you will teach the Crown Prince well.”
The prince’s young master is one of the nine ministers among the three princes, and his duty is to mentor the prince’s palace officials. It can be said that this reward is already very generous. It stands to reason that it would be difficult for Xiang Shaolong to get this official position based on his qualifications alone, but Qin Yiren is now seriously ill and knows that if he dies, the Qin government will definitely fall into the hands of Lu Buwei, so he deliberately uses today’s incident to support the prince. One party.
The prince’s young master naturally belongs to the prince’s party.
“I thank you, Your Majesty.”
Xiang Shaolong looked happy and quickly thanked him.
In Zhao State, even if he defeated Lian Jin, he could only get the position of swordsman in front of the imperial family, which was not comparable to the official position of Prince Shaofu. In his opinion, changing jobs from Zhao to Qin was a very cost-effective investment. After all, Qin is the candidate to rule the world in the future.
Qin Yiren sat on the throne and waved his hand. He coughed and turned pale, “You are a retainer of Wu Shiluo. Wu Shiluo asked you to escort Zheng’er to Qin. Did you have any other instructions?”
A wealthy businessman like Wushi Luo could influence a country with his financial resources. If Wushiluo gets help, Qin will get horses, food, etc. secondly. The key is that Wushiluo is a deep-rooted Zhao people. Once Wushiluo completely surrenders to Qin, Qin will spend a lot less energy to destroy Zhao…
“Clan Chief Wu does have some instructions, and asked Shaolong to tell the king…”
Xiang Shaolong did not forget his old employer. He carefully considered his words and stepped forward: “Now King Zhao has been deceived by treacherous ministers. The Zhao Kingdom’s court is full of smoke and smoke. Zhao Mu, the giant deer minister, has brought trouble to the Zhao Kingdom and ravaged all the people…” Chief Wu said to King Zhao He was originally very loyal, but after being framed by Zhao Mu, he and King Zhao are now drifting apart, so Chief Wu asked Shaolong to come to Qin with the intention of entering Qin to do business, and then avoid political affairs and retire from officialdom…”
Everyone knew that Wu Shiluo wanted to rebel against Zhao and had bad intentions. But these words must not be said directly to the King of Qin. After saying these words, Wu Shiluo’s face was also tarnished. Therefore, Xiang Shaolong had discussed with Wushi Luo a long time ago and found a high-sounding excuse, that is, Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, trapped Wushi Luo, forcing Wushi Luo to stay away from Zhao and fall into the embrace of Qin.
It is not uncommon for ministers to be persecuted and flee to other countries. Gongsun Yan, Wu Zixu, Wu Qi and others are like this. Anyway, as long as you have talent, you are not afraid of finding a job.
“The king of Zhao is so mediocre that it is a pity to abandon the great talent of the Wushi family.”
“Our Qin State has always welcomed talented people from the six countries. If Chief Wu is willing to come to our Qin State, Qin will definitely treat Chief Wu favorably and will not make him suffer…”
Qin Yiren paused and said.
He is also a cunning and treacherous person who never lets go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. When Wushi Luo surrendered to Qin, he talked about his fate, but he did not actually give the official position that Wushi Luo would get after defecting to Qin.
“Wu Shiluo…, I actually had dealings with him in the early years. He is a loyal and trustworthy person.” Seeing this, Lu Buwei nodded slightly and interjected.
In the Qin State, as the prime minister, he was less than one person and more than ten thousand people. His actual power was not necessarily less than that of the King of Qin. After the King of Qin said that he would treat Wu Shiluo favorably, without his nod from the head of the hundred officials, even if he could do it reluctantly, he would still encounter a lot of resistance. He nodded, agreeing that the Qin bureaucracy would accept Wushi Luo.
“I would like to express my gratitude to the king and the prime minister on behalf of the leader of the Wu clan…”
Xiang Shaolong stepped forward and cupped his hands to express his thanks.
This is Wu Shiluo’s future, not his. When he came to Qin and could talk to Qin Yiren, it was considered to be the most benevolent and righteous. Wu Shiluo is not necessarily a good person, he is just taking advantage of him.
However, at this moment, an urgent report came from outside the palace.
“Your Majesty, we have a secret report from the State of Zhao.”
A soldier broke in.
“Read it!” Qin Yiren rubbed his forehead. He didn’t bother to read any information. Seeing Soldier Jia’s hesitation, he said, “There is no one else here, so just read it.”
Xiang Shaolong had just defected to Qin, and there was no way he could betray Qin. Zhao Ji, Lu Buwei, Zhao Zheng and others are obviously also affiliated with Qin’s interests, and there is no need to avoid these people.
“Intelligence about Zhao Guo?”
Xiang Shaolong frowned.
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Soldier Jia shouted, immediately tore down the sealed bamboo slips, and read: “On September 10th, the Wu clan sent assassins to assassinate King Zhao. King Zhao was furious and sent troops to destroy Wujiabao. Everyone has been imprisoned.”
“What?”
“Wushi Luo sent someone to assassinate King Zhao?”
This news is nothing short of shocking. King Zhao is Qin’s number one rival, and Wu Shiluo is also a very important figure in the Zhao court. The destruction of Wu Mansion was like the fall of a whale. It was a sign of a reshuffle for the entire Zhao court. In addition, Wufu had just joined the Qin State, and now that the Wufu was destroyed, it was equivalent to the Qin State losing a helping hand.
“Keep reading…”
Qin Yiren saw Jia Bing hesitate to speak.
A few people were surprised just now and interrupted Jia Bing’s continued reading.
Soldier Jia took the order and continued to read: “I estimate that this matter should be that Juluhou Zhao Mu and King Zhao deliberately framed Wu Shiluo, but… King Zhao was assassinated for the second time, but was seriously injured. In addition, King Zhao was seriously ill and entrusted the government to Zhao Li.”
The person who sent information to Xianyang was none other than the Qin envoy who stayed in the Zhao embassy.
All nations sent envoys to their capitals.
“The Wu family…”
“Wu Tingfang…”
Xiang Shaolong suddenly turned pale.
Whether Wu Shiluo is dead or not has little to do with him. But Wu Tingfang, the granddaughter of Wu Shiluo, had a close relationship with him, and the two of them had reached the point of being privately engaged for life. Now that the Wushi Ruohe clan is imprisoned, Wu Tingfang will not be an exception. And Wu Tingfang was extremely beautiful, and was once missed by Julu Hou Zhao Mu. Now that the Wu family no longer exists, how could Wu Tingfang escape from the clutches of Julu Hou Zhao Mu.
“Zhao Li, you and I are at odds with each other!”
He gritted his teeth and said secretly.
The information that Soldier Jia just read also said that King Zhao was seriously ill this time and the person in charge of the government was Zhao Li. So this matter was clear to onlookers, and it was inseparable from Zhao Li at first glance.
Zhao Li defeated him twice and this time captured his beloved woman.
This revenge… it is impossible not to avenge it.
“Shaolong, calm down. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late in ten years.”
The person in the mirror seemed to be aware of Xiang Shaolong’s emotional instability, and sent a message into the secret to comfort him.
“Mr. Bai, I know this sentence. It’s just that… Tingfang is my wife, and I have promised her for life. Now that Wu Tingfang is captured, with Zhao Mu’s lust, Tingfang will definitely…”
Xiang Shaolong bit his lip and clenched his fists.
“There is no need to rush this matter. Now that the Qin envoy has sent the information to Xianyang, it is conceivable that at least three days have passed since Zhao State destroyed Wujiabao. I know that you are a person who values love and righteousness. But you need to figure it out slowly and plan slowly. You have just entered the Qin State and your foundation is not yet stable…”
“With your current strength, how will you be repaid?”
The man in the mirror advised.
“Yes, Mr. Bai, you are right. Now I am just the prince’s young master and have no strength at all. In the Qin State, even Zhao Pan does not have the strength to help me.”
Xiang Shaolong was discouraged.
Although Qin is far stronger than Zhao, this is Qin’s strength, not his. He had just arrived in Qin, and Zhao Zheng had just been established as the prince. He wanted to borrow Qin’s strength, but he couldn’t. In addition, the State of Zhao is not South Korea, and it will not let the State of Qin take over and destroy Zhao… and the State of Qin is not certain.
“When you become stronger, all this will happen.”
“Wu Tingfang, forget her.”
The man in the mirror sighed and persuaded again.
“Mr. Bai, with your strength, can’t you save Tingfang?” Xiang Shaolong gritted his teeth, “Mr. Bai, help me this time, Wu Tingfang, nothing happens…”
Three days, three days, maybe Wu Tingfang will be fine.
That’s all he could think.
If the man in the mirror was willing to help him, Wu Tingfang might not have died or been tainted. After all, no matter how powerful the nations are, they are only mortals, and Mr. Bai has already touched the immortal.
“I am sealed in the mirror, and I have no strength left. Teaching you Taoism has consumed a lot of my energy. Furthermore, Gandan is so far away from Xianyang, and it is difficult for me to do anything. Wu Tingfang… “
The man in the mirror sounded a little more indifferent.
When Xiang Shaolong heard these words, he immediately felt alarmed. Yes, Wu Tingfang was very important to him, but to the man in the mirror, Wu Tingfang was just a dispensable figure. He wants the man in the mirror to spend a lot of money to save Wu Tingfang, which is obviously impossible. This is really a bit overwhelming.
“However, I do have a solution.”
Seeing Xiang Shaolong mourning, the man in the mirror helplessly responded,.
“any solution?”
Xiang Shaolong turned from worry to joy and asked quickly.
“Qin Yiren and Lu Buwei should have carrier pigeons specially sent to Gandan. It only takes one day to reach Gandan. As long as you ask them to come forward to protect Wu Tingfang, Wu Tingfang will be fine.”
The man in the mirror said calmly.
“This is impossible!”
Xiang Shaolong immediately shook his head, “I just came to Qin. If I asked Qin to rescue Wu Shiluo, maybe they would agree to rescue Wu Tingfang. That’s impossible. Qin would not set such a precedent for me. of……”
He stayed in the Warring States Period for a long time, suffered setbacks, and gained some self-awareness. Wu Shiluo may still be of value to Qin, but Wu Tingfang has no value at all. Including him, his position as Crown Prince and Young Master was awarded to him by Qin Yiren for buying a horse bone seal for a thousand gold coins…
The man in the mirror shook his head and stopped talking.
“Your Majesty! I have something to report to you…” Xiang Shaolong gritted his teeth and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, “I have made a private decision with Wu Tingfang, the granddaughter of the Wu family, for life. Now that Wu Tingfang is in prison, please show mercy to your Majesty. Inform the Qin envoy of Zhao State to rescue the wife of Wei Chen.”
Even though he knew it was impossible, he still had to give it a try.
“Wu Tingfang?” Qin Yiren was surprised and said with a smile: “Xiang Aiqing, there are so many women in the world. Zhao Daughter is passionate, and I, Qin Daughter, are not inferior. Come and reward Xiang Aiqing with two maids. “
Wu Tingfang is not important. But if he, a great king, spoke in person, he would lose face. In addition, once the King of Zhao really asks for Wu Tingfang, not to mention that the Qin State will be ridiculed by other countries, the Zhao State will definitely blackmail him severely. He didn’t even plan to take Zhao Ji back to Qin in the first place, let alone Xiang Shaolong’s woman.
Xiang Shaolong also just came to Qin. If other ministers dared to speak like this, he would have punished them long ago. In the court, how can one delay important matters for the sake of a mere personal relationship between one’s children?
“I… thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness.”
Xiang Shaolong had known this outcome, so he could only step forward to say thanks.
“Xiang Aiqing, please step aside for now. I have ordered the eunuch to arrange a place for you.” Qin Yiren then waved his hand and asked Xiang Shaolong to leave.
As for Wu Shiluo’s disposal, it is definitely not suitable for Xiang Shaolong to be involved.
This is to avoid suspicion.
“I… obey your order.”
Xiang Shaolong sighed, then took the order and prepared to go out.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of the talisman taught to him by the man in the mirror, and his heart suddenly started to move. Obviously he has the means to control King Qin and command the world’s immortal magic, so why should he be restricted by this little bit of morality.
If he can exercise the power of King Qin, Wu Tingfang’s matter will be properly resolved.
Why is the redemption price so high? Isn’t it enough to give fifteen cities?
With this matter in his mind, he followed several eunuchs to the waist of a corridor, knocked them unconscious, and then quietly returned to the hall.
“Since Wu Shiluo has been eradicated by Julu Hou, he is already an abandoned son, and there is no point in trying to get him. We can also send people to take over the property he left in Qin…”
Qin Yiren said calmly.
“The king is right…”
Lu Buwei agreed.
In the palace, Zhao Ji and Zhao Zheng were no longer around. They must have been sent to another palace by Qin Yiren.
“Okay! This is my opportunity, Xiang Shaolong!”
Xiang Shaolong glanced at the warriors outside the palace and thought to himself.
Since he practiced the Ziwu Kung Fu taught by the man in the mirror, his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is confident enough to kill these warriors outside the palace before they find him.
Taoism versus mortals is a one-sided massacre.
After a moment, the palace door creaked open, and Xiang Shaolong walked in with his sword in hand.
“Xiang Shaolong, what are you going to do?”
Lu Buwei and Qin Yiren were discussing state affairs. When they saw this scene, they were immediately frightened, took a few steps back and shouted. He didn’t understand that this was Xiang Shaolong’s plan to “rebel”.
But…he couldn’t understand where Xiang Shaolong got such courage. Once he kills the king, he does not believe that Xiang Shaolong can escape from the Qin palace.
And, why rebel?
The warriors in the palace also quickly stepped forward to surround Xiang Shaolong, but within a moment, they were killed by Xiang Shaolong.
“Your Majesty, Prime Minister!”
“You are just mortals, how qualified are you to point fingers at me!”
Xiang Shaolong put down the sword in his hand, sneered, and flipped his palm, two talismans immediately appeared on his palm, and floated in the air, shining with a strange light.
“Xiang Shaolong, you…where are you from?”
Qin Yiren and Lu Buwei were horrified.
“Fairy!”
Xiang Shaolong answered briefly, then flew in front of the two of them and force-fed the two talismans to them.
