Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 187 Prince Ji (Part )
"My son is not dead!"

King Huiwen, who was originally immersed in the grand feeling of Qin's victory over Han and his reign over Luoyi, was shocked to hear the bad news. He used his connections to allow himself to come to the world of the living to see his son.

then,

He saw Qin Wangdang, who was dying but still had some life left.

The deceased grandfather happily threw himself on his son and cheered.

The remaining life force of King Qin Dang was almost completely destroyed by the evil spirit of the dead ghost.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi acted quickly and pulled King Huiwen back.

He said, “This is too dangerous!”

"King Qin is still in critical condition. We are both dead now. Between life and death, too much contact will only harm him!"

There is no power of ghosts and gods,
But they want to interact freely with mortals like ghosts and gods,
This can only be living in a dream!

"Why not go back and ask the ghosts and gods to make up for the loss of the King of Qin and extend his life."

King Huiwen said, "This is the only way!"

He left reluctantly.

Returned to the underworld.

But his request was not granted.

Ximen Bao, who was called the Prime Minister of the Underworld, told King Huiwen of Qin that "the influence of a monarch is really too great."

"How can the dead interfere in the human world like this?"

"After such a near-death experience, aren't you worried that the King of Qin will become obsessed with ghosts and gods and ignore state affairs?"

Showing mercy to the common people,
Because in such a chaotic world,

Too many civilians can only go with the flow.

Fish with enough vitality are also good.

Or a dead fish with its belly turned upside down.
They will all be swept away by the torrent and it will be extremely difficult to swim upstream and jump over the Dragon Gate.

Moreover, in today's world,

It is still an era where "kings, princes, generals and ministers are all born with different species"!

Therefore, the gifts from the gods and ghosts that the common people and the princes can enjoy,
They really cannot be compared.

of course,

The favor will not be too much.

Because he died a long time ago,

The dead ghosts' views on the human world have gradually changed -

What does it matter if you live a good or bad life?
They are all going to die anyway.

Just adhering to the principle of "life and death are irrelevant", the dead cannot reveal too many things to the living.

Let them work hard throughout their lives, and then look back on the past when they come back!

"But my son has no children yet, and yet he has endured such harm!"

"If he can't recover, the Qin State will be in chaos for a while!"

King Huiwen of Qin did not want to give up yet.

Ximen Bao advised him, "I have seen many things about rise and fall, governance and chaos."

When he was alive, he never asked the gods and ghosts to extend the life of Marquis Wen or to train Marquis Wei Ji. So how could he allow others to do such things so many years after his death?
His descendants on earth had already fallen into the status of ordinary scholars and were struggling to survive as the Wei State declined.

Ximen Bao and Shang Yang and others discussed——

Now that everyone has become a dead ghost and is no longer burdened by the ways of the world, we can finally talk calmly for a while.

Whether it is the powerful Legalists, the free and easy Taoists, or the diligent Nong Mo...

They all think,
In this world of great contention,
Just like the hammering that must be experienced when forging a sword.

After being beaten,

I have suffered pain.

Future generations must always learn to absorb the experience of their predecessors, so that they can move forward more steadily and welcome a new unified world.

No pain,

It is not enough to change the world!

Because human nature is to be lazy. If everything goes smoothly, people will become more and more lazy, just like Tu Bo who is dozing off on the throne!
"If Qin can survive this time, destiny will be decided!"

"Please King Hui wait patiently and trust in the wisdom of future generations!"

King Huiwen of Qin stamped his feet in anger.

He just trusted the wisdom of future generations too much.
He never stopped Yingdang's good martial arts competition!

it's good now,

This kid broke his leg while lifting the tripod!
Really...

I shouldn’t have brought Dang’er to watch the Xinxia people’s tripod lifting performance!

……

Fortunately,

The King of Qin was eventually sent back to Xianyang and did not die from his injuries.

Heifu has family knowledge and experience, and he is also quite interested in treating broken bones.

But even if you try your best,
The King of Qin could not cure the internal injuries caused by overexerting himself when lifting the tripod.

In Hei Fu's words, "Even if you save your life for a while, you won't live long, you can only linger for a while."

then,

The ministers of Qin wanted to rush up and argue with him.

Liu Qing was so frightened that he quickly stepped out to calm the situation.

The King of Qin, who had regained his consciousness, waved his hand gently, preventing his ministers from attacking Heifu.

He spoke weakly, "This is a life-saving favor, how can I be disrespectful to him?"

"If there is any fault, it is my fault. How can I blame others?"

Qin Wang Dang,
He is a man of sharp nature.
He is like a sword drawn from its sheath, moving forward courageously and never looking back to regret what he has done.

He just felt a little regretful.
My momentary carelessness brought disaster to the great cause of the Qin State.

He felt that he should make up for it while he still had the strength.

So he first asked Heifu, "I really have forgotten your kindness."

"Are you willing to return to Qin with me?" Heifu subconsciously wanted to shake his head. After all, his wife and children were all in Daliang.

But Liu Qing simply stepped on his foot and made him shut up.

Liu Qing asked, "How high of an official position can you hold in the State of Wei?"

"With your contribution in saving the King of Qin, you can become a doctor of the Qin State!"

Hei Fu scratched his head and said, "But I came to Luoyi with you, how can I leave you alone?"

Liu Qing jumped up and hit him on the head, "Stupid!"

"Are the Wei and Qin States very far apart?"

"When the time comes, I will be a doctor in Wei and you will be a doctor in Qin. We will serve as envoys to each other. Are you afraid that we won't be able to meet?"

by that time,
If the two of them cooperate more, they might be able to use their influence in Wei and Qin to gain some merit and go further!

"Just do it!"

"The King of Wei has no intention of employing you anyway, so you might as well go to Qin!"

then,

Heifu arrived in Qin State in a daze.

With the help of Liu Qing, his family soon arrived in Xianyang.

Because "there is no greater merit than saving the emperor",
He did become a doctor and was given a fiefdom.

However, the situation of the King of Qin was too worrying, so after giving honors to Hefu, he did not appoint him.

Everyone surrounded King Qin Dang and prayed for him to recover quickly.

But King Qin Dang understood his own physical condition, and he just said, "Call my brothers!"

then,

Queen Mother Wei brought the late emperor's illegitimate sons Prince Zhuang and Prince Yong, and Mi Bazi brought her own sons Prince Kui and Prince Shi.

"Let the city go."

The King of Qin looked at his brothers and then asked the youngest brother to leave.

Mi Bazi was somewhat unwilling.

But at least one person was left behind, instead of directly choosing the person brought by Wei.

She let her youngest son go with hope.

"Yong, get out too!"

then,

The King of Qin said again.

then,

Only three of the late emperor's sons were present.

One was lying on the couch, and two were kneeling beside him.

The precious legacies of the two ancestors are also quietly waiting for the decision of King Qin.

Although Empress Dowager Wei was very sad about her son's situation, she had been in the palace for a long time and was more concerned about her own future.

My dear son is no longer able to live.

She must ensure that the next monarch still has a close relationship with her.

such,

She would not let down the advice given to her by Mrs. Wei when she got married:
"Give birth to the next King of Qin, and restore the friendship between Qin and Jin."

But the King of Qin looked at his two brothers for a long time, and finally closed his eyes without making up his mind.

"Ugh!"

"Let's all go out!"

He trembled and silenced the two women, so that they didn't need to say anything more.

Since he has returned to Qin alive, he will not die all of a sudden.

He could not hastily decide which brother would inherit the throne, so as not to bring more trouble to the Qin State.

"Please come, Mr. Yan!"

Yan Jun,

That is, Prince Ji heard the King of Qin's order and quickly rushed to the palace.

The King of Qin held his hand, feeling distressed.

"Uncle, I am hesitant."

"I was injured while lifting the tripod in Luoyi. This was the punishment for my arrogance."

"So I have no big complaints about dying childless and passing the throne to my brother."

"It's just that none of my brothers have outstanding talents, which makes me worried and I can't make up my mind."

Prince Zhuang was the eldest son of our late monarch and the elder brother of the King of Qin.

While firmly enforcing the system of primogeniture, Prince Zhuang was deliberately neglected by my predecessor in order to avoid provoking him to strive for the throne.

after all,

During the time of Duke Xiao, people like Prince Qian were extremely rare.

therefore,

Prince Zhuang was a somewhat timid person and because he lost his mother at a young age, he was very respectful to the Queen Mother Wei who raised him.

But the King of Qin knew his biological mother very well.

The marriage between the Wei family and our ancestors was a purely political one.

The Wei family also often gave advice to our ancestors, hoping to ease the relationship between Qin and Wei.

But the Qin State went eastward,
We must attack Wei!

How can personal friendship hinder the great cause of the country?
So our predecessor took the young Prince Dang away and taught him himself to prevent the Queen of Wei from using her offspring to harm the Qin State.

Therefore, the King of Qin could see Wei's intention of introducing Prince Zhuang to him.

And Mi Bazi's thoughts,
What's the difference?

They all tried to use their offspring and the status of the queen dowager to control the Qin State.

Prince Ji knew the King of Qin's worries and frowned and began to think.

At last,
He mentioned a person, "How is Prince Ji who is in Yan State?"
