Chapter Thirty-six Conspiracy
Although not many women have appeared on the stage of power, they are not without them in Qin.
The concept of male superiority and female inferiority in Qin State was not as strong as that in the Central Plains. Among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period in the past, Qin and Zhao had common ancestors, and the two surnames of Zhao had a long history. They traced back to the deep relationship with the Western Man Di, which also made Qin and Zhao State not very interested in the Confucian culture in the East. The subsequent actions of Emperor Qin Emperor burning books and burying scholars was actually a very normal thing for the Qin people at that time.
As for the history of Qin, whether it was the Queen Mother of the King or Queen Mother of Xuan, his style was very open and bold, not to mention Zhao Ji, the mother of the First Emperor.
Therefore, when Ying Yushu appeared at the secret party as the head of the Li family, Fan Jia, Guan Yue and others soon accepted it calmly, except for showing surprise at the beginning. As for Chen Di, he had already seen the methods of the eldest princess of the Great Qin and was prepared in his heart early.
Ying Yushu was soft and weak, with a sharp melon-shaped face, and his eyes looked a little big. His appearance made people feel protective at first glance. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a decisive woman.
"Sir, it is for one thing that Yu Shu sent everyone here today. Since August last year, the Xianyang court sent Chen Zongzheng and the Censor Wang arrived in Xingyang to thoroughly investigate my husband, namely the governor of Sanchuan County, Li You, who was the enemy. However, after several months of investigation, there has been no result. Now my husband died in the battlefield, and no one in the Li family can continue. Please ask all Xingyang experts to uphold justice at that time."
Ying Yuse's voice was soft, with a sense of sorrow. She was dressed in plain clothes and did not apply makeup. In addition, the princess's noble identity, it felt even more pity in everyone's eyes.
"Well, what the princess said is very much. According to what Di saw, Li Junjun Magistrate communicated with enemies was just a slander, and he should not be true. After returning to Xianyang, he should report to the emperor according to the truth."
Chen Di blushed, coughed lightly, and responded first, which was also the condition he had negotiated with Ying Yushu before. Just now, Ying Yushu said very peacefully, just like a narration of something that was not related to her, but it was impossible to say that she had no intention of blame in her heart. At least, as one of the special envoys, Chen Di did not raise any objection to Wang Ming's behavior of overreaching power.
"What Zong Zheng said is exactly what we are all about. Xingyang was surrounded by the enemy in the previous period. The county magistrate Li led his troops to guard for several months before he insisted until the general arrived. If you want to say that the county magistrate Li was connected with the enemy, how can this start? Now, there are tens of thousands of rebels invading outside Xingyang City, but I don't know what good strategies for Zhao County Magistrate Zhao County Magistrate has to retreat to the enemy." Xingyang Order Fan Jia patted the hem of his robe, looked at the direction of the county magistrate's mansion with contempt, and said sarcastically.
These days, Fan Jia, the Xingyang Order, has had enough of Zhao Ben's bad temper. In terms of military affairs, Zhao Ben can barely understand it. In terms of political affairs, he is a layman, but the layman still has to point fingers and give advice randomly. It is not enough not to listen. This makes Fan Jia feel angry.
Guan Yue kept watching these people coldly. When Fan Jia heard the complaint, he smiled coldly: "The county magistrate just issued an order yesterday. The males in the city, regardless of age, will be guarded by the city wall tomorrow. In addition, more than a thousand healthy women will be recruited to transport wood, stones, feces and other materials. If they are missing, they will demolish the house and fill it up."
Gongcao was in charge of civil affairs, and if Zhao Ben wanted to do these things, he would not be able to turn on and off. Although Guan Yue was promoted by Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben took it for granted that as long as he gave him enough benefits, he would not be afraid that Guan Yue would not work hard for him.
"What, Zhao Ben has come up with such a good idea, it's amazing." Chen Di was so angry that he almost turned his back. Even if he didn't understand military affairs, he knew that Zhao Ben's idea was really bad. If the civilians could go up to the city and fight, what would the army do? What's more, Zhao Ben would inevitably make the situation in the city even more chaotic. The people in Xingyang City were not all interested in Qin.
"Everyone, Zhao Ben, Wang Ming has control over nearly half of the army in the city. If we want to protect ourselves, we must defeat Zhao Ben, so we must unite--." Ying Yushu was guided by the benefits, leaving all parties presenting the complaints about Zhao Ben.
Fan Jia stomped his feet angrily: "Hmph, Zhao Ben is about to die. Let him die alone. At most, let Wang Ming's old man be buried with him. If you are angry, I, Fan Jia, are not a vegetarian."
Ying Yushu nodded. Fan Jia has been in Xingyang for many years and has a wide connection. Many of the soldiers guarding the city were originally some prison soldiers under the county magistrate. Fan Jia agreed, and these soldiers could be won into the anti-Zhao camp.
"Princess, Chen has no other ability, but I can deal with Zhao Ben and Wang Ming to ensure that they have no time to take care of him these days." Chen Di looked solemn. As one of the two special envoys of the court, his attitude has always been unclear. Now that he has decided to stand on Ying Yushu's side, he decided to teach Wang Ming and Zhao Ben a lesson.
"Guan Gongcao, Hou Sima, I will introduce someone to you. After seeing her, I think you will have a clear attitude." Seeing that Guan Yue and Hou Xi did not express their opinions for a long time, Ying Yushu was not surprised. He clapped his hands and saw two people coming in outside.
The first one was only sixteen or seven years old, a servant dressed as a servant, who was short, strong and solid, with thick eyebrows and big eyes; behind him was a young and heroic Qin army officer wearing a hat and a long sword on his waist.
"It's you, Gu--!" Guan Yue looked at him carefully, and almost blurted out in shock. Gu Yunniang, the top brand in Peony Tower, even if Guan Yue changed into men's clothing, he still looked at it very clearly.
"The last general Gu Yun, please see all the envoys. This time, the last general is to go to the city to discuss the plan with the envoys according to the order of General Li Yuan, the captain of Sanchuan. "The Qin army officer Lang laughed and said with a military salute.
"Gu, General Gu Yun, it's so lucky to meet. Li Yuan Guan knew, but he was just a captain. When will he be promoted to the lieutenant? I wonder where Yang Xiong and Yang County Magistrate are?" Guan Yue asked in surprise. Fan Jia and Chen Di were the same expression as him. As for Hou Xi, he looked surprised.
The situation of the Battle of White Horse was reported to Xingyang City. Some said that the Qin army was completely wiped out, some said that Yang Xiong was killed, and some said that the Qin army broke out. Most of the news was spread by Liu Bang, with the purpose of causing panic in Xingyang so that the next siege plan would be planned.
