I’m The King Chapter 1213: : Carry on the past and open up the future (103) should be sad but happy

Love is gone!

Bai Qi chewed this sentence carefully, and shivered involuntarily. He understood why the king sent him out at this critical juncture. From the beginning to the end, the king was probably most worried. The most important thing is Lu Chao, a general with more than 100,000 troops, because Lu Chao has another identity, the recognized successor of the Li Ru School, once Lu Chao returns to Xianyang safely, the Li Ru School will gather under Lu Chao's banner, And Li Ru would definitely make such an arrangement before closing his eyes.

Since this is the case, there is no way for Lu Chao to return to Xianyang.

"The general is wise, I'm afraid he won't openly enter Beijing." Bai Qi said in a low voice.

"You only need to pay attention to what's on the bright side, and there's a bright side to the rest." Ying Ying waved her hand.

Bai Qi took a deep breath and glanced at Mingtai. Mingtai lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but Bai Qi knew very well that if Lu Chao went back to Xianyang secretly, he would definitely escape. After paying attention to the eyes and ears of Mingtai and the traps laid by it, if there is any place that Li Ru has influenced in the past few decades, it is the Black Ice Terrace controlled by Zhongli, which is the private land of the royal family.

"I hope that the general can understand Gu's difficulties, stay in Hangu Pass well, guard the gate for Gu, and buy a few years for my Great Qin to recover. Gao Yuan can build the current Great Khan in ten years. , Daqin is much stronger than him, if you don’t believe me, you can’t catch up with him and surpass him. All I need is time. Go, just want to be alone.”

When Bai Qi stepped out of the palace gate, he turned his head and looked at the core place that ruled Daqin. The lights inside gradually went out, and finally fell into darkness, the only one with lights on. There was only the place where he stayed just now, the Black Ice Terrace, and he seemed to see a young figure sitting cross-legged on the cold marble floor, quietly overlooking the majestic Xianyang City.

Turning back, he pulled the cloak tighter again. Holding the saber at his waist, he strode away.

In a seemingly ordinary house in the east of Xianyang, all the dignitaries and dignitaries of the Great Qin Dynasty were sitting. Several burning braziers made the room warm like spring, and people sat cross-legged. His face was full of worry. On the bed against the wall not far from them, Li Ru, the founder of the powerful Qin Dynasty in the past, was lying on the bed with his face sallow, his eyes closed, and his breath was almost inaudible. A doctor sat cross-legged in front of the bed, staring nervously at this great Confucian who influenced a whole generation of Qin people.

"Your Majesty seems to have made up his mind, and there is no way to reverse it." Cui Yuan looked gloomy, looking at his colleagues, "Fan Sui even dares to assassinate his master, if we let him gain power, we will have nowhere to stand."

"What is more worrying is that the reform advocated by Fan Sui is subverting our foundation. The teacher has long said that it is not suitable for Daqin to make major changes. Changes must be made without external threats. It should be carried out slowly, so as not to cause major social turmoil, but Fan Sui's way of doing it is like pouring a spoonful of water into hot oil, and it will destroy our Qin country." Doctor Shang Zuo Lixing was worried.

"Fan Sui is nothing to worry about. The thing to worry about is that the king is supporting him. Without the king, he can't do anything, everyone. A few days ago, I submitted a new list of officials to the king. Being left behind by the king without approval so far, I think you all know what it means." Huang Jun, the second assistant in charge of appointing and dismissing officials, shook his head.

"Your Majesty has shown up, we must make a strong counterattack. Let Your Majesty see our strength." Ting Wei Tang Ying said viciously.

"How can you give the king a good impression? Could it be that you still want to rebel? Just relying on those guys under your command who can only arrest people and torture them, I am afraid that Mingtai will come to your door just as soon as you make a move." " Zuo Lixing said coldly.

"Who says I want to rebel, I just want to let the king understand that we are Daqin's thighs, that Fan Sui will only mess up Daqin, and will only bring Daqin to the brink of extinction." Tang Ying said angrily.

"Enough!" Cui Yuan said angrily: "The key now is that Fan Wei cannot be allowed to return to the capital. Someone has already done this. Killing Fan Wei will make the king understand that he should rely on Who is the person! The junior brother is coming back soon, once Fan Sui dies, and once the junior brother returns to Xianyang, everything will be under our control, now the big..."

A burst of violent coughing interrupted Cui Yuan's words, everyone turned their heads suddenly, the doctor in front of the bed was in a hurry, and Li Ru, who was lying on the bed with his chest bent like a shrimp, coughed violently Bring out a little bit of scarlet, so that gorgeous flowers bloom on the white sheets.

"Cui Shoufu, everyone Li is dying." The doctor yelled in panic.

Everyone jumped up and rushed to the bedside. Cui Yuan held Li Ru's hand tightly and shouted loudly, "Teacher, I'm here. Do you have anything else to tell me?"

Li Ru, who had been in a coma for many days, slowly opened his cloudy eyes amid Cui Yuan's yelling, and looked at the anxious Cui Yuan blankly, opening and closing his mouth, as if he wanted to confess something, but But he couldn't say anything, the muscles on his face twitched, his eyes became more and more anxious, and he stared at Cui Yuan firmly.

"Teacher, don't worry, we will do what you tell us. When the younger brother comes back, we will follow the lead of the younger brother to keep Daqin and the teacher's hard work." Looking at Li Ru, he swallowed in one breath. Not going down, Cui Yuan couldn't help crying.

Pu spit out a mouthful of blood, and Li Ru fell heavily back on the bed, "Stable." He finally uttered two words, a big mouthful of blood was about to come out from his mouth, and his eyes finally became dizzy.

"Teacher." Cui Yuan yelled, and slowly knelt down in front of the bed. Behind him, all the people knelt down and cried bitterly.

Horseshoes trampled Xianyang's pure tranquility. In Xianyang Palace, the bell tower that was only slightly lower than Heibingtai rang a heavy bell. Yingying stood on the terrace of Heibingtai Palace, listening attentively. That heavy bell. When Li Ru died, he didn't feel much grief, but more of a sense of relief. The mountain that had been weighing on his head was finally moved away.

Li Ru has made great contributions to the rise of Qin State. Without him, there would be no rise of Qin State from the western frontier, no Great Qin that has dominated the countries in the past few decades, and there would be no father's indomitable spirit. On Albert. He has contributed a lot, and now that he is gone, it is natural to give him the honor he deserves. The bell tower in the palace will only ring when major events happen in the country. As for the use of mourning, it was only used by the royal family before. , and for a person with a foreign surname, this is the first time, but Li Ru deserves this honor.

He opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole of Xianyang. From now on, this city, this kingdom, truly belongs to him.

He wants to revive Daqin, complete the unfinished business of his father, and become the greatest king since the ages. Facing the night sky and listening to the bell, Yingying shouted in her heart.

The gate of the palace was pushed open, and Mingtai hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is an urgent report." Mingtai's voice was urgent.

Ying Ying hurriedly turned around, seeing Mingtai's panicked expression, her heart sank, the blush on her face gradually faded, and she turned pale.

"General Lu, has he finally decided to come back?" He almost uttered the words from his throat, but what he was thinking about was those years with Lu Chao. The two of them formed a deep friendship, but now, this friendship seems to be coming to an end.

"No, it's not that the general came back. This is an urgent report from the general. Western Zhao has surrendered to the Han Dynasty and set up a trap in Jinyang County. Two groups of cavalry attacked the army, and the entire army was wiped out. Gouyi's life and death are unknown, and if the 20,000 troops can escape back to Hangu Pass, it will take less than one stop in ten stops." Mingtai's voice seemed very anxious.

"What?" Yingying's face changed suddenly, her fists were clenched tightly, her veins were exposed, and the 20,000 army was gone.

"How did the general respond?" Ying Ying asked.

"The general said in the military newspaper that the scouts found Han Wang Gaoyuan in Jinyang County in person. The general decided to attack with the whole army. In Jinyang County, the Han Dynasty will be in chaos, and the Great Qin will rest easy.”

Ying Ying walked around in the main hall, turned around suddenly after a while, and looked at Mingtai, "Mingtai, tell me, is this the general's demonstration against Gu in another way?"

Mingtai was taken aback, thought for a while, and said seriously: "My lord, my subordinates think this is impossible. The general may disagree with the king's idea of ​​reform, but it is definitely not possible to hold the money of 20,000 soldiers." Threatening Your Majesty with your life~IndoMTL.com~ What's more, as far as I know, Gou Yi is the most trusted subordinate of the General. We guessed earlier that if the General returns to Xianyang, the General will definitely appoint Gou Yi to replace him Manage the Hangu Pass army. Furthermore, General Lu may collude with other people, but he will never collude with Gao Yuan. I am afraid that this matter is really a conspiracy planned by Xi Zhao and Han Guo for a long time."

Yingying nodded. "So, the general will not come back?"

"The general will not come back." Mingtai said affirmatively: "My lord, it seems that the general is still very loyal to the king. In fact, when this happened, the general has another way to deal with it, and that is Hold on to Hangu Pass and get out. The Han army is just two cavalry with more than 10,000 soldiers and arrived in Jinyang County, and you know the combat effectiveness of the Western Zhao army."

Ying Ying nodded: "After what you said, I am completely relieved. The general is still the general of the past. I can finally relax. In his heart, it is the interests of Qin State. Above all."

"Your Majesty, but will the general send out troops on such a large scale, will it cause a large-scale war?" Mingtai asked with some concern.

"It's possible." Yingying laughed suddenly, "However, I don't have to worry about a general staying at Hangu Pass." (To be continued)
