When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 633 The fairy-like Li Yanyan
After listening to Zhang Ji's suggestion, Song Yi's heart moved slightly.

It is not a secret that Zhang Ji once cured the illness of Queen Mother Zhao Ji of Qin. It is said that it was precisely because he first rescued King Ying Zheng of Qin and then cured Queen Mother Zhao Ji. Therefore, Zhao Ji was so happy that she adopted Zhang Ji as her adopted son.

If Zhang Ji can really cure the Queen Mother's illness, it will definitely be of great help to Qin Chu's peace negotiations.

Over the past few days, there has been a fierce debate within the Chu court about whether to increase troops to fight Qin or to stop troops and negotiate peace.

Although there have always been a large number of pro-Qin factions in the State of Chu, and even many royal relatives were core members of the pro-Qin faction, such as Prince Zilan, the son of King Huai of Chu, facing the increasingly powerful situation of the State of Qin, many former pro-Qin factions were awakened from their fantasies by the sense of crisis and switched sides to join the anti-Qin faction.

As a left disciple elected by the Chu people, Song Yi was naturally a member of the anti-Qin faction, but the anti-Qin faction may not advocate peace.

The Chu State was newly defeated, the Tenglong Army was crippled, and the demise of the Wei State was a foregone conclusion. If the main force of the Qin Army waited until Daliang City was broken and the main force of the Qin Army went south to join forces with Zhang Ji, how could they still fight?
However, the voices of the main battle in the temple were too loud. Many people advocated increasing troops and fighting again in the name of anti-Qin faction, completely ignoring the actual situation and national strength.

Just like his former Zuo disciple Qu Yuan, although Song Yi was full of respect for this former Zuo disciple, it did not mean that he recognized many of his senior's political opinions and actions.

At that time, King Huai of Chu clearly supported Qu Yuan to win over Qu Jingzhao's three clans, and supported King Chu Huai in carrying out reforms and weakening the nobility other than the royal clan. King Huai's reform plan.

At the same time, this senior advocated anti-Qin, but ignored the actual situation. Even if it meant harming others and harming the state of Chu, he advocated sending troops to resist Qin at all costs, and even insulted King Huai of Chu in public.

That is to say, King Huai of Chu had a good temper and always doted on his beloved minister. The other king would have killed Qu Yuan long ago.

As Chu people, they can admire the loyalty of Qu Yuan, a senior who sank into the Miluo River to die for his country, but they really dare not compliment this senior's ability and deeds.

But in today's Chu State, there is a group of people who imitate Qu Yuan in the past and do things that harm the country in the name of being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

If you lose the battle, just lower your head and admit it, take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate national strength and then fight back. If you want to save face, you have to be beaten until your head is bloody and you have to find your teeth to be satisfied?
It is never a shameful thing to lose a battle and be forced to negotiate a peace. It is the most shameful thing to forget the shame after losing a battle and making a peace.

Therefore, Song Yi ignored the accusations of the officials in the court and advocated peace negotiation.

But King Han of Chu was young, only eleven years old, and all the power was concentrated on his commander Li Yuan. When Li Yuan was away, the Queen Mother was naturally in power.

However, the Queen Mother was ill and the peace talks were delayed again and again. Song Yi was really worried about something happening, such as assassinating the Qin envoy or someone restarting the war without authorization.

Moreover, if this Lord Luonan could establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother, it might make the peace talks smoother.

As for whether this lustful Luonan Jun would do anything rude to the Queen Mother?
Song Yi did not think that Zhang Ji would do such a despicable thing, whether it was his status as the leader of the Mohist family or the status of a country's monarch, and Zhan Lu, the sword of benevolence, was the guarantee of his character.

If Zhang Ji could hear Song Yi's thoughts, he would definitely not be able to help complaining.

When did the Mo family break the rules of the Mo family by stealing someone?
Which law stipulates that a feudal lord cannot steal people?
At that time, Su Qin openly had an affair with Queen Yan Zhao, the mother of King Yan Zhao. If not for being discovered by King Yan Zhao, he would not have risked his life and asked to go to Qi State to avenge King Yan Zhao on his behalf.

As for the last one... who said that the sword of benevolence must guarantee character other than "benevolence"?
Not long after, the attendant sent by Song Yi to the Chu Palace received the permission from the Queen Mother Li Yanyan. They were accompanied by a group of chamberlains, maids and an exquisite and luxurious carriage.

Song Yi himself wanted to handle political affairs for Li Yuan who was away, so he asked Zhang Ji to enter the palace alone with the chamberlains and maids sent by the Queen Mother Li Yanyan.

The scale of the palace of the King of Chu was second only to the Xianyang Palace of Qin among the palaces Zhang Ji had ever seen. It was grand and luxurious. The palace city is surrounded by a high wall, which is three feet high, with an exquisite turret at each corner. The moat surrounding the wall is five feet wide and the water is clear to the bottom. There are two city gates, and the entrance can be made by hanging doors that can be raised and lowered at will.

Among them, there is a sharp wooden fence above the water in the middle of the moat, making it difficult to swim across it.

Within this high wall, there are many palaces, divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. Zhongxian is divided by the inner wall connecting the two bell and drum towers, and an inner palace gate is set up as a passage through the outer court and the inner court.

The layout is symmetrical about the central axis. An avenue runs through the north and south city gates and the inner palace gate. Eight huge palaces and nearly 60 courtyards are distributed in an orderly manner on both sides of the avenue along the central axis. They are decorated with flowers, stones, fish ponds, small bridges and flowing water. Ancient trees, magnificent.

Moreover, the Chu people's love for luxury is engraved in their bones. Using luminous pearls, ivory, peacock feathers and other objects that are extremely rare even for the royal family as hanging decorations is really extremely luxurious. In this regard, Xianyang Palace is also far away. Far inferior to the Chu Palace.

Compared to Xianyang Palace, the Chu Palace was even more heavily guarded.

Perhaps it was because Li Yuan had successfully attacked and killed Lord Chun Shen in the Chu Palace. Li Yuan attached great importance to the safety of the palace guards and the Ling Yin Mansion. He knew the resumes of every palace guard and Ling Yin Mansion guard. He personally sent people to conduct a detailed investigation and personally extended favors to win over his heart.

The carriage passed through a square square and arrived at the two main halls named "Advocacy" and "Ritual".

The two main halls were built on white stone platforms and surrounded by fenced paths. The atmosphere was solemn and luxurious. The accompanying maids made tea for Zhang Ji in the carriage while introducing him to him.

"In addition to these two main halls, there are six auxiliary halls, four of which are located in the outer court and two of which are located in the inner court. They are the 'Fire God', 'River God', 'Xing God', and 'Si Ming' of the outer court. , the inner court is divided into two halls: 'Fang Lie' and 'Witch'."

Chu people love luxury, but they are also the most creative and romantic ethnic group in the world. Whether it is poems and songs full of gorgeous rhetoric, or the bold and innovative names given to these palaces, this is definitely not seen in other countries. Arrived.

"The Queen Mother lives in the Witch's Hall."

As soon as the palace maid finished speaking, Zhang Ji saw the beautiful figure wearing the Queen Mother's phoenix robe through the carriage window.

Zhang Ji got out of the car and looked at the Queen Mother of Chu as he stepped onto the steps.

The first thing that caught Zhang Ji's eyes was not the beautiful face of the Queen Mother Chu, but the various accessories she wore on her body.

Naturally, the Chu people's love for luxury cannot only be reflected in the palace. Even the Queen Mother, who is a widow, is dazzled by the accessories on her body. The most eye-catching thing is a string of necklaces hanging from her pink neck to her chest. The upper layer is made of It is composed of more than twenty gold beads inlaid with jewels. The bottom is made of a drop-shaped jade pendant, which complements the jeweled phoenix crown on the top of the head, making it crystal clear and dazzling.

However, no matter how dazzling this ornament is, it cannot cover up the elegant and refined temperament of the Queen Mother of Chu.

Li Yanyan, who is dressed in a phoenix robe, wears her hair in a cloud bun, and even her forehead hair is shaped into a cloud, resting gracefully on her long black eyebrows. It has a certain meaning of "the cloud bun is fragrant and dark."

The hair on the temples is arranged into a curved hook shape, but it is thin and transparent. The clouds on the temples are carelessly combed, as ethereal as cicada wings. There is sadness and silence in the light blue eyes, revealing a somewhat weak and slender temperament that makes everyone pity her. .

Not only does she not have the charming temperament of the enchantress as rumored by outsiders, but her elegant and refined jade face is covered with a hint of indescribable sadness. Nothing in this world can make her happy, which makes people unconsciously associate this widow with her. Bao Si, the former beloved concubine of King Zhou You, even had the urge to do whatever it took to make the beauty smile.

And this slender, graceful, slender body, paired with the phoenix crown and green clothes, makes her have a fairy-like beauty that is beyond all living beings, difficult to climb, and high above, exuding an indescribable fairy spirit, especially at this moment. The haggardness and paleness caused by illness on her face gave the widowed queen mother a feminine temperament that evoked a man's protective desire.
