Chapter 96: The Huns Have Changed
After struggling to get up from his soft body, the first thing Wang Zhu did was to give Yu Ji an antidote. Of course, Wang Zhu would not tell Yu Ji that this was the antidote given by Fan Zeng. First, Yu Ji was poisoned for too long, and the antidote was likely to fail; second, he wanted Yu Ji to fall in love with him because of gratitude, and at least let her give up the idea of suicide.
Yu Ji had woken up long ago, but her body was always under pressure. She was unwilling to face all this too early because of shame and sadness, and still closed her eyes tightly. It was not until Wang Zhu put on her clothes under the servitude of a group of maids and walked out the door that she called Zi Huan and Yu Lang in to dress up.
Yu Ji was just sitting in front of the bronze mirror dressing up in a snow-white underwear, and Wang Zhu went back. Zihuan and Yu Lang called out the king. Yu Ji's face suddenly sank, and she inadvertently pinched the collars on both sides with her bamboo shoots-like jade hands. Wang Zhu also felt depressed in her heart, but she still couldn't accept me.
"Yu Ji, this is the spiritual medicine I have configured for you. It was the prescription I asked for after visiting famous doctors in Suiyang. You can try it." Zi Huan and Yu Lang hurriedly took the jade bowl from Wang Zhu's hand. Yu Ji said calmly, "Thank you, you only let Lu Matong go, and my illness will be cured." Wang Zhu said sternly, "You have taken the medicine, and I will consider whether I have let Lu Matong go." He was really afraid that when he turned around, Yu Ji poured out the medicine.
Yu Ji put down the comb in her hand, and took a medicine bowl from Zihuan's hand. She raised her head and drank it all: "Okay, king. You can let go." Wang Zhu was too lazy to be angry with her, so she left and said before leaving, "There are three more medicines left, and I will let go after you have all drunk it." Wang Zhu originally wanted to say that I would let go when you realize it again, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't say that, it was a bit of a trick. If she couldn't realize it again for the rest of her life.
Yu Ji squatted the jade bowl heavily on the dressing table.
Wang Zhu ran away and ignored him. He felt that if Yu Ji could regain his wisdom, he would definitely change his mind because he was grateful to him. After Wang Zhu went out, he would go to find Qi Ji. Qi Ji would give him the tenderness that he could not get from Yu Ji.
Qi Ji was wearing a white dress with big sleeves floating around, and was paced back and forth at the door, holding her left hand with her right hand, tightly clenched, and her finger joints were all white. A pair of passionate big eyes stared at the door and looked at it. Seeing Wang Zhu and Zhang Xi walking in from outside, she shouted happily, rushed out in two steps, and pounced into Wang Zhu's arms.
"Master, you are finally back."
Wang Zhu thought to himself, this is the right feeling. This is the attitude of the concubines towards the king, not as cold as Yu Ji. Smelling the fragrance, Wang Zhu said in a deep voice, "Ji Qi, I will bring you a gift." Ji Qi jumped and cried, holding Wang Zhu's hands with both hands and said, "You are the gift, you are the best gift in the world."
Wang Zhu said, "This gift is better than me. I caught the murderer who hurts Mr. Qi. Do you want to meet me?" Qi Ji was stunned for a moment and cried even harder; "It's a native of Chu, Mr. Xue."
Wang Zhu said, "That's right, this person killed your parents. This person is now in prison, you can deal with him with your own hands." Wang Zhu looked at Ji Qi with a bright look.
Qi Ji was crying and shook her head, "Your Majesty, kill him, I don't want to see him, I feel even more uncomfortable when I see him." Wang Zhu thought to himself that Qi Ji's temperament does not seem to be as strong as she appears, and is far worse than Lu Zhi. No wonder she was defeated in the struggle in the end.
Wang Zhu waved his sleeves and said, "Zhang Xi, sent an order to kill Mr. Xue, and hung his head on the head of Xianyang City for seven days to comfort Mr. Qi's spirit in heaven."
Qi Ji took Wang Zhu's hand and said in tears, "King, can you take your concubine with me next time when you go to war? I really don't want to be separated from the king for so long."
Wang Zhu really wanted to bring her with her all the time, but she was afraid that others would have any objections, so she couldn't bring them all with her. Qi Ji suddenly smiled and said, "I heard that the king is back, so I specially prepared good wine. The king will not leave tonight." Wang Zhu also wanted to go back to supervise Yu Ji to take medicine, but he couldn't bear to refuse Qi Ji, so he nodded deeply.
Wang Zhu talked and laughed in Yu Ji's palace and talked about love until the night, and lay on the bed until midnight. He suddenly asked Ji Qi, "Ms. Lu has come to you recently." When Ji Qi heard the three words "Ms. Lu, she was like a shock and snorted coldly; "No, I have nothing to say to her." Wang Zhu said nothing.
At noon the next day, Queen Toya came to Qi Ji's palace with a horse whip and wearing a Hu military uniform. The relationship between the two seemed to be very harmonious. Qi Ji was very smart and learned a lot of Da Yuezhi's language these days and taught Toya a lot of Chinese.
When Toya came in, Wang Zhu and Qi Ji were hugging each other and drinking. As soon as Xiaoman boots stepped into the room, she shouted sharply, "King, I have something to tell you." Wang Zhu and Qi Ji hurriedly met.
Toya brought the translator and said, "King, there is something that is a national event." Wang Zhu smiled bitterly, "The queen understands the national event of the Qin Dynasty? This is really rare." Toya was a little angry: "Do you listen?" Wang Zhu hurriedly begged for mercy; "Listen, I listen carefully."
Toya smiled sweetly and said, "It's about the Huns."
Wang Zhu suddenly became nervous; "So that's it, good queen, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the Huns?" Toya gave him a blank look; "Didn't you want to hear it just now?"
After the case on his left hand, Toya faced Qi Ji far away. Wang Zhu moved his body and rubbed her, hugged her and said, "Tell me quickly, I won't listen to you in vain, there is a reward." Toya smiled with her lips pursed, "This reward is indispensable, because our Dayuezhi can help you with great help."
Wang Zhu wondered, "What happened?" Toya smiled, "Tell me this way to you, the Huns wanted to fight against the Donghu people, so they wanted to win the power of the Great Yuezhi, so they sent Prince Maodun to the Great Yuezhi to be hostages in order to form an alliance with our country. Do you think this is good news?"
Wang Zhu was moved and said, "My princess, this is really good news. I don't know what your father planned." Toya stretched out his slender jade finger and poked Wang Zhu's forehead: "If my father had any plans, would he send someone to send the news here? You are so stupid." Wang Zhu said, "So, your father wants to ask me what he meant."
Toya smiled and said, "Of course, the father is looking for his son-in-law. He only wants to form an alliance with the Qin Dynasty and deal with the Huns together. How do you think this matter should be solved?"
Wang Zhu thought to himself that Maodun must not be kept. Only when the Huns have Maodun will they become powerful. If Maodun dies, the Huns will be in a slump. It may not be easy to kill Maodun by the Dayuezhi people, as it will cause trouble.
"My princess, let me discuss with the ministers, please come and reply to you?" Wang Zhu said affectionately.
Toya smiled and said, "You must be faster. There is a saying among you that "soldiers are the most important."
Wang Zhu brought all the counselors and generals in the afternoon, held an emergency meeting, and informed everyone of the news. He was about to ask everyone about their thoughts, but Wang Ao spoke first.
After hearing this, Wang Ao said, "King, I want to report to the king because of this incident. Li Deyang sent an emergency news from the Huns, saying that Touman gathered heavy troops on the border of the Great Yuezhi to prepare to attack at any time."
Wang Zhu said in shock, "This is impossible. Maodun is still hostage in the Dayuezhi at this moment. Is Toya's intelligence unreliable?" Wang Ao and Li Zuoche and Chen Ping exchanged glances. "King, this matter seems to be strange. I do not doubt Queen Toya's intelligence, nor do I doubt Li Deyang's intelligence. I think it is a trick played by the Huns. I have been to the Huns and still have some understanding of the situation there."
Wang Zhu said, "What do you think!" Wang Ao said, "It's obvious that this is a trick that Touman played. He deliberately sent Maodun to the Dayuezhi as a hostage, so that the Dayuezhi people could relax their guard, and then quickly sent troops to occupy the Dayuezhi. King, if the Dayuezhi was invaded, the Huns would directly threaten Longxi from the western front, which was very unfavorable to our Daqin."
Wang Zhu almost shouted; "How is that possible? Did Touman ignore his son's life or death?" Wang Ao sighed; "King, this is the place where Touman is a traitor. People say that the tiger poison does not eat any children, but Touman is bewitched by his wife and is determined to kill his son. This move is likely to be a knife to kill people. He just wants the Dayuezhi people to kill Maodun to change his second son as his heir."
Wang Zhu suddenly realized: "Then what do you think we should do now? What do you mean by Maodun must die." Li Zuoche took the conversation and said, "First try to inform the Dayuezhi to prepare for the enemy. Send an envoy to supervise Maodun. Wouldn't both beauties?" Wang Ao said; "Maodun is dead, what is the king to worry about? No matter whether the Dayuezhi wins this battle, Maodun is dead."
Wang Zhu thought to himself that Maodun is also a true emperor. There will always be miracles in the face of crisis, so it is too early to say this.
"Cao Shen, where is Cao Shen?" Wang Zhu happened to see Cao Shen, a short man standing behind Xiao He.
Cao Shen has not been useful these days, but has only helped Xiao He to deal with some trivial matters. He was dissatisfied with it. He heard the king shouting and knew that the opportunity was coming, so he hurriedly stood up. "King, what are the instructions?"
Wang Zhu said, "I will send you to the Dayuezhi to envoy you, adding 100,000 hu of grain to you, to help Dayuezhi win this battle, and to bring Maodun's head back to me."
Cao Shen, Wang Ao and others held the same view, and Mao Dun was dead no matter what. This was like giving him a great contribution and quickly expressed his opinion. "Don't worry, Cao Shen will definitely live up to his mission."
Cao Shen agreed so happily, but Wang Zhu was very worried and instructed, "You have never dealt with Maodun. This person is not as simple as you imagined, so you have to deal with it carefully. I don't want him to become a major concern for the Qin Dynasty in the future." Cao Shen said seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best." But I wondered why the king was so afraid of an unpopular prince.
Wang Ao said, "It is very good to do both worlds. Maodun is indeed very troublesome. If he is removed, Touman will be vulnerable." Li Zuochelan; "Master Cao should not delay. It is best to start now. The Xiongnu's reaction is very fast. Maybe there will be a large-scale military operation in these three or four days."
Cao Shen nodded repeatedly, "I'll go and prepare now, the king, the minister will leave." Wang Zhu said; "Xiao He, you can also go with him to collect some food, grass and gold and silver. You must set off before tomorrow morning."
Xiao He bowed and replied, "Yes!" and withdrew with Cao Shen.
Wang Ao looked at the backs of the two and smiled, "These two are all talented in the world. The king really has a keen eye for gold." Wang Zhu thought to himself that if he had not traveled through time two thousand years later, it would be difficult to promote these two unknown and ordinary talents in the vast crowd, and it would be even more difficult to bring out their specialties. He deserved the flattery of Wang Ao.
Chen Ping looked at Wang Ao and suddenly said, "King, the matter of Qi State should also be carried out. Should we send an envoy to meet with the King of Qi and rescue Li Shiqi?"
Wang Zhu smiled bitterly in his heart, Li Shiqi, I really convinced you. I ran to Qi to tease the princess. I still have to rescue you. I'm convinced, I really convinced you.
"Chen Ping, go to Qi State to go to Qi State, and give you 10,000 gold and another fifty hu of pearls. When you go to Qi State, you will first meet the three brothers Tian Yezi, who will be helpful after receiving my favor. Also, be careful of the eldest princess of Qi State, who is Zhang Ao's wife who has not passed by." Wang Zhu couldn't help laughing. Zhang Ao's wife is really good to him.
Chen Ping was overjoyed and could make a fortune again.
Wang Zhu said, "Who goes to meet Han Xin and send my edict? Han Xin is not easy to deal with, who would you like to go?" Li Zuoche was eager to try.
Wang Ao frowned and said, "King, it's best to find an acquaintance this time." Wang Zhu understood what Wang Ao meant, and he was saying, let the generals of Liu Bangjun go.
"Then it's only Xiao He, but Xiao He—if——”
Wang Ao also knew Wang Zhu's concerns. Xiao He knew that there were too many inside stories about the Qin army. He was Han Xin's old colleague. If he turned against each other, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I have two candidates, I wonder if the king is willing or not." Wang Ao smiled.
"Two candidates?" The think tank is the think tank. I can't think of any of them. He thought of two at a time.
"Lu Ze and Lü Shizhi!" Wang Ao said; "They are the most reliable to go on missions. First, these two people don't know the inside story of Qin, and second, they are old acquaintances with Han Xin and are just right to be envoys."
Wang Zhu hesitated, "They are not eloquent, can they convince Han Xin?" Wang Ao said, "What convinced Han Xin is not eloquent, but policy. As long as the king promises, he will give Han Xin all the land of King Han Guang of Liaodong, and order General Wang Ben to withdraw from Yan State to defend Dai County. Han Xin will definitely accept the enthronement. There was no need for any eloquence."
Well, these two idiots were embarrassed in Qin State and had nothing to do all day long.
