Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Suspend the negotiation with Zhao Guoren and wait for the next instruction!"

Hou Sheng quietly stared at the secret letter in his hand, and finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart anymore, and threw the secret letter to the ground viciously.

"Stupid, stupid, downright stupid!"

Obviously, Qi Wangjian still wanted to have a real fight with Zhao Guoren before deciding whether to seek peace.

But what Hou Sheng couldn't understand at all was, who gave Qi Wangjian the courage to insist on confronting Zhao even though he knew that Yan had already sent troops to support Zhao?

"Tian Yan, you must be the one who wronged the country! When I return to the country, I will kill you!!"

Hou Sheng gritted his teeth and cursed.

After staying in the room all night and losing his temper, the next morning, Hou Sheng with a haggard look came out of the room, and put a new urgent letter in the hands of the summoned confidant.

"Hurry up, or the country of Qi will be in danger!"

Chapter 500 Nine out of ten unhappy things in the world (fourth update)

Hou Sheng misunderstood one thing, that is, it was not Tian Yan who advocated the war this time, but Qi Wangjian's mother, the queen.

There are not many people who can influence Qi Wangjian to change his decision-making, and the most influential one is undoubtedly Qin Wangji's biological mother and Hou Sheng's sister, King and Queen.

The reason why Hou Sheng ignored the king and queen, his own sister, was also very simple, that is, the king and queen were ill.

What disease?

Wind chill.

Don't look at it as just a small cold, but in ancient times this disease was not easy to cure.

The king and queen have been bedridden for a full month, and have not appeared for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that what Hou Sheng did not expect was that after he was sent to Handan, the queen's cold finally gradually improved.

If that was the case, then obviously the Queen Mother of Qi should and would only rest in peace in the deep palace.

After all, the queen herself is not a person who loves power and position, and all the power that should be handed over has already been returned to Qi Wangjian, and she will not inquire about the affairs of the Qi State court.

On the other side, as a dutiful son, Qi Wangjian would naturally not tell the queen the bad news.

After all, my mother's queen just came back from the gate of hell, and it's obviously too much to tell her about these unhappy things.

Of course, there are also some selfish intentions of Qi Wangjian. After all, Qi Wangjian is very clear that his mother has always advocated war against Zhao Guo. Now if Qi Wangjian's policy of seeking peace with Zhao Guo is known by his mother, then it is indispensable. Some waves.

But obviously, the ministers of the war faction in the court of Qi State are also very clear about this.

Therefore, after inquiring that the queen had woken up, these ministers of the main combat faction of Qi naturally tried their best immediately, and finally passed the message to the queen who was on the sick bed.

So what should have happened happened naturally. After learning about the situation of the war, the queen was furious, and directly summoned Qi Wangjian to the bedside to scold him, and then there was the second letter of Qi Wangjian, which made Housheng very depressed letter.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence that nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world.

This sentence is actually very applicable to Zhao Zhu in Xianyang Palace.

"The Yiqu people started rioting again?" Zhao Zhu couldn't help rubbing his temples when he heard the news, obviously having a headache.

Since the period of mourning has not yet ended, Zhao Zhu is still "regent" as the prince of Qin.

But whether it was Zhao Zhu himself or the other Qin ministers present, it was obvious that Zhao Zhu had been treated as the future King of Qin.

In just one or two months, after the first anniversary of the funeral of King Ji of Qin who was nicknamed "King Zhaoxiang of Qin", Zhao Zhu can formally succeed to the throne through a ceremony and become the new King of Qin, King Zhu of Qin.

The things this Qin Wangzhu had to face were obviously much more troublesome than that of Qin Wangji when he had just succeeded to the throne.

Although Qin Wangji was young back then, he had his uncle Wei Ran on the outside, and his mother Mi Bazi, the Queen Mother Xuan, on the inside, and the Qin State at that time was still on the way up as a country.

Although there are difficulties, the future is indeed optimistic and bright.

But now the Qin Kingdom that Zhao Zhu took over from Qin Wangji is completely different.

In the past few years, the Qin State not only suffered defeats one after another, but also lost a large number of youth and land, which caused the hearts of the people in the entire country to fluctuate, and the authority and rule of the Qin royal family began to faintly show signs of shaking.

This can be seen from the fact that the people of Yiqu, who had been peaceful for many years, started to riot again.

Yiqu, or Yiqu Rong, originally belonged to a branch of the northern nomads like Lin Hu and Lou Fan, and had established its own country, Yiqu Kingdom.

Historically, the entanglement between the Yiqu Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom was very complicated. The two sides fought for hundreds of years, and at times they had the upper hand. In the end, it was the Qin Kingdom that came from behind, captured a large area of ​​Yiqu’s territory, and forced the Yiqu Kingdom to surrender to Qin. country.

Later, Qin Wangji's mother, Queen Mother Mi Bazi, had an affair with the then King Yiqu and gave birth to two children. It can be said that the queen mother of one country had an affair with the king of another country and had children, which can be said to be quite interesting.

Finally, in 272 BC, King Yiqu and his two children were murdered by their wife and mother, Empress Dowager Mi Bazi and King Ji of Qin, and Qin took the opportunity to annex Yiqu completely.

It has been 16 years since then.

Although the State of Qin has implemented a very strict rule over the former land of Yiqu, the people of Yiqu have established their country for nearly a thousand years and have already had their own culture and traditions. How can they be assimilated in just 15 years?

The resistance of Yiqu people is inevitable.

It's just that at the beginning, the Qin State was powerful, and even if there were several rebellions by the Yiqu people, they were easily extinguished, so the Yiqu people lived in peace for a few years.

However, in the past few years, Qin State had lost consecutive battles against Zhao State, especially in the First World War last year, Li Mu led a large number of Zhao State cavalry to attack Guanzhong from Yiqu's hometown, which greatly touched the people of Yiqu.

From that time on, the Yiqu people once again had the idea of ​​restoring the country, and finally chose to launch it brazenly at this time of this year.

Zhao Zhu slowly flipped through the information in front of him, and couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Enough weapons, eliminated armor, and even some powerful crossbows? Hey, who will tell me Where did the Yiqu people get these things? Could it be that there are such negligent people in our Great Qin?"

When it came to the end, Zhao Zhu, who had always been gentle, was already stern, and he was about to kill someone if he disagreed with him.

It's no wonder that Zhao Zhu lost his composure. After getting together, Yiqu people immediately formed a thousand-man army equipped with weapons, armor and even crossbows. In just a few days, they captured two counties in Qin State. Most of the upper counties of the Qin State have been caught in the smoke of the Yiqu people's uprising. How can Zhao Zhu not be angry?

Without these armored weapons and powerful crossbows, the scale of the Yiqu people's rebellion would certainly not have expanded to the present level.

Yangquan Lord Mi Chen said: "An Guojun, it has been found out that these weapons all flowed out of Dingxi City and Zhenbei City."

Zhao Zhu's face froze slightly, and after a long while, he showed a wry smile: "Hetao and Hetao Counties in Zhao State? Hey, this Zhao Wangdan, it really is a good time to choose! Come here, pass the widow's order, and immediately let Sima Jin lead five thousand soldiers Immediately go to Shangjun to quell the chaos, and anyone who rebels with Yiqu will be shot to death!"

To these rebellious officials and thieves, Zhao Zhu will not be polite in the slightest. Want to restore the country?You and other people from Yiqu are not from Zhongshan, and Daqin is not from Wei!

Zhao Zhu's decision was passed without any objection as a matter of course.

But there is another issue to be resolved, that is, now that Zhao State has officially started a war with Qi and Wei, what should Qin do?

Regarding this question, Zhao Zhu waved his hand angrily: "According to the previous statement, order Wang Ling to lead 1 troops to the opposite of Pujindu, and just keep the Zhao people in check! As long as the Zhao people are not stupid, then they will not You will think that I will attack Hadong County with a force of only [-] people! Well, I am tired, and I will stop here for today!"

After Zhao Zhu said those words, he stood up and walked towards the back of the hall with some shaky footsteps.

For some reason, Zhao Zhu recently found that there seemed to be some problems with his body, problems that had never happened before, such as dizziness, or inexplicable falls.
