Chapter 31 The Death of Lord Xinling

Locusts are not scary, what is scary is that there is no way to deal with them.

Ying Zheng had Duke Xiao entrusted his dream to guide the way to destroy locusts. After the court meeting, it quickly spread across the streets of Xianyang like the wind. The officials of Qin were very efficient in their work. When Shang Jun reformed, he had strict requirements. The official duties that could be handled on that day were not allowed to be delayed until the next day. Before nightfall, the road of Guanzhong was full of people running around, and in the sacks around their waists, the latest order of Xianyang to destroy locusts was quietly lying.

"Hey, can locusts still be eaten as food?"

After receiving the order from Xianyang, officials of Qin were suspicious, but observing the law became an instinctive habit. After they followed the instructions of the order, they tasted the locusts and became a great expansion of their cognition. "Well, locusts can really be eaten as food!"

Since then, in China's long-standing food culture, the cuisine with locusts as its ingredients has written a brilliant stroke. Feilou Tengda later successfully added the Royal Ying Recipe.

Catch locusts during the day to fill their hunger, lit fires at night to kill locusts. The entire Qin State, the old, middle-aged men, women, and children who just know how to walk, joined the army of locust-killing. The spies lurking in Qin State were panicked and thought that the whole country of Qin State would launch a war of destruction.

Meng Tian brought three thousand new troops to Shanglinyuan, trained during the day and lit a bonfire at night, which attracted many locusts. When the Qin people in Guanzhong started to move, there were fewer and fewer locusts. The bonfire at night was not extinguished by locusts, which became much boring. Meng Tian simply added some elements of a bonfire party. In this era, there was no rich nightlife except falling asleep and sleeping at night. Meng Tian's bonfire party was warm, happy, singing and dancing, and was soon welcomed by the soldiers.

Compared with ethnic minorities, the Han people in later generations always felt that they had no artistic cells. In the late Warring States Period, Meng Tian contacted so many Qin people, but found that Qin people in Guanzhong area would have more or less Qin opera singing and dancing. Who said that Chinese people had no artistic cells? Meng Tian complained in his heart that our ancestors were pursuing the colorful spiritual life with all their hearts.

Qin State's locusts are in full swing and has achieved significant results. If there is a newspaper on the Great Qin Dynasty, it will definitely report to all Qin people after the evening meal, "Under the wise leadership of the Great Qin Dynasty King Ying Zheng and Prime Minister Lu Buwei, Qin State successfully defeated the locust plague, allowing us to unite closely..."

The Qin people foresee that they might go hungry this year, but they were very happy and full of hope.

"Duke Xiao can send a dream for the emperor, which means that the emperor must be a virtuous emperor!"

"Duke Xiao made Qin really prosperous and strong. The king was recognized by Duke Xiao. I don't know what great achievements he would make?!"

The ordinary Qin people would not have any ideal of unifying the world. After all, there are a few people who say "How can the sparrow know the ambition of a swan" like Chen She. People in the world hope to be unified, and the unification of China is what people want. People in later generations stand and speak without any pain. The Qin people only want to make contributions in wars. If the world is unified or not, they will not care so much. People in the six countries do not want to be survivors of the country. When the country faces a crisis, they will naturally fight to the death. How could they hope for unification?

After the locust plague, the three thousand soldiers and horses in his hands were trained in a very good manner. Deep in Meng Tian's heart, a voice became stronger and stronger, making him feel ready.

"The battlefield, a great man, really yearns for the battlefield!"

A hero can make great achievements. In addition to being very powerful, his opponent must be mediocre, or he just missed a powerful opponent. The two armies faced each other and fought a shocking battle in the Warring States Period. Often, a clever general met a not-so-wise general. If Bai Qi had not met an opponent like Zhao Kuo, it might not be his nickname for the man-slaughter, but would have been Xiang Yu who would always slaughter the city.

Ying Zheng himself was very capable and was born at a right time. When he was growing up, the mediocre monarchs of the six countries in Shandong were one after another, and they were still doing stupid things that their relatives were sad and their enemies were happy.

Daliang, the palace of the Wei Kingdom.

Under the bright candles, the old face of King Anli of Wei was fully revealed, and the light of the candle was sprinkled on his face without any brilliance.

Another twilight king.

"Father, how are you?"

King Anli of Wei was old, sometimes sober and sometimes confused. The prince waited for the fall of the King of Wei every night and took good care of him. The prince did not mind the end of his life, and the prince did not mind doing his duty as a filial son in the end. If he passed it out, he would also increase his reputation.

"What are Wuji doing now?" King Anli opened his eyes and felt relieved when he saw the prince waiting beside him. His son was still reliable.

"Just just now, the old man came to report that Uncle Wuji was having a banquet at home."

"Haha, is he keeping his time?" King Anli frowned, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes. He was deeply afraid of his younger brother and deeply jealous of him. Xinling Jun is extremely polite and intelligent, and has both civil and military skills. When everyone sees Xinling Jun, they will be deeply impressed and bow down.

Compared with King Anli, the people of Wei didn't know how to evaluate it, but they felt sad. Why did King Anli give birth so early? Why didn't he die early? Under the halo of Xinlingjun for a long time, he was obviously the younger brother of King Anli, but in King Anli's heart, Xinlingjun became someone else's child, so outstanding and so perfect.

"If you are disobedient, I will destroy you and become Wuji!" The words my father often used to spur King Anli, and King Anli felt a deep shame.

Thinking of more than 20 years, on that sunny afternoon, Xinling Jun said lightly that he had put nails beside King Zhao, and the hairs on King Anli's body stood up. He still remembered You Xin the feeling of surprise, horror, and fear at that time. After the chess game, the first thing King Anli did was to check the eunuchs, palace maids, and suspicious people around him to death.

So many years have passed, and Xinlingjun's reputation spread all over the world. He steals talismans to save Zhao, defeats the Qin army, and saves Zhao. Even if he is not in Wei, many people still miss him and go to join him. Four years ago, Xinlingjun defeats Meng Ao and leads the coalition forces to Hangu Pass. Wei takes the opportunity to capture Taoyi, the eastern enclave of Qin. Some Wei people call out: Xinlingjun should become the king of Wei.

How to choose the strength of the country and his own throne? King Anli made a choice that suited his human nature. He chose the throne and deprived Xinlingjun of his power. Four years have passed, and Xinlingjun indulged in love with him every day and feasted excessively. It seemed that the wise Xinlingjun had gone far away. Now Xinlingjun is just a drunkard. But King Anli did not relax his surveillance of Xinlingjun at all. Tigers are not scary. Tigers are the most scary after learning to hide their own tigers. Will Xinlingjun deliberately make it for others to see? Learn to lie on firewood and taste gall?

"Where are his disciples?" Xinlingjun's disciples were all crouching tigers and hidden dragons, and they were all very good at it. When they thought of Jin Bi and Ru Ji, there seemed to be a layer of green light on King Anli's gray head. Ru Ji, whom I favored the most, loved Ru Ji deeply in my heart, and was willing to steal military talismans for Xinlingjun to repay him for his death. People in the world say that King Anli is stupid, but one day, your wife steals a large sum of your property and chooses to surrender to the little face she has always loved deeply, even if that little face is very capable, as a man, what will you feel in your heart?!

"The father reduced the cost of Uncle Wuji. Some of the guests had left when they saw that the situation was not good."

"Where is Zhu Hai?"

"Zhu Hai has always stayed with Uncle Wuji, but he didn't go out and couldn't find a chance to kill him."

The person who hammered Jin Bi was Zhu Hai, who had been a butcher. King Anli knew in his heart that the disciples of the six countries in Shandong were quite strong. These people were loyal to their masters and had no king in their eyes. Xinling Jun’s disciples were prosperous and both prospered and lost. There must be many people planning secretly. Xinling Jun made contributions to the country, and the people of the country sympathized with him. If I die, the prince would probably not be able to suppress him.

The prince’s fake ability is better than his father. King Anli sighed in his heart. My son is a good piece of material for learning poetry and books, but no matter how proficient the king is in poetry and books, he is still useless if he has no ability to govern the country!

"Fake, I'm tired, you go back first!" King Anli was a little sleepy, and said too many words, which consumed a lot of his energy.

The candlelight swayed, and King Anli, who had closed his eyes, spread his eyes again, and there was no sleepiness, but it was a bit cruel. My dear brother, it’s just that you are too outstanding! King Anli’s dry right hand pulled out of the quilt and pulled a hidden rope behind the tent.

"King!" After a while, Shangshu Ling respectfully knelt in front of King Anli.

"I don't want to die in front of Wuji."

The thin mosquitoes and flies were dull. King Anli did not hesitate at all, nor did he feel any regret in his voice. After saying that, he closed his old eyes again.
