Chapter 13 How to move Qi

When Zhang Lu arrived at the hall, the waiter carried the tripod. The tunes of songs and dances changed again and again, but Xu Jia didn't feel it at all. Suddenly, his ears became quiet, and the singing, dancing, and music stopped. He saw Zhang Lu standing beside him.

In front of him, Xu Jia's mind went blank. He almost instinctively saluted in his seat and said, "I would like to see Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Lu said with a joking smile: "Hey! What about the doctor in Wei Zhong? Where is the doctor's food?"

Two waiters brought over a table. What was on it was not a tripod, but a pile of finely chopped grass, mixed with some black beans, and placed it in front of Xu Jia.

When he was about to protest, the two prisoners beside him grabbed his arms, turned them around, and pushed Xu Jia's head into the thin grass. The grass was indeed very thin, and as soon as his head went in, his mouth and nose were completely covered.

, it was a little difficult to breathe, and naturally he couldn't say anything. All he heard was Zhang Lu shouting sternly: "Xu Jia, do you know your crime?"

The two prisoners let go of Xu Jia slightly. Xu Jia's head and face were covered with grass, his eyes were red, and he could not speak.

Zhang Lu pointed at Xu Jia viciously and said: "You are the second best, and Wei Qi is the leader. After all, you should sue the king of Wei for me and hold Wei Qi's head! Otherwise, I will slaughter Daliang." He waved his hand and let the two men go.

The criminals carried Xu Jia out of the palace and threw him to the ground. He returned to the steps and said to the guests with a pleasant smile: "Wei Jinai, sooner or later he will be destroyed! Today is the date we made an appointment with him!"

A businessman asked in a somewhat ignorant voice: "Why was Wei guilty of Qin?"

Zhang Lu stared at the businessman and squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "If you are guilty of Qin, you can still pray; if you are guilty of God, you can't pray!" The businessman was so frightened that he was covered in chaff.

, sweating all over the body.

When Zhang Lu was furious at Xu Jia and the two prisoners treated Xu Jia very violently, Prince Chu watched nervously; then he looked at Huang Xie with some horror, only to find that Huang Xie was nodding and smiling as if watching a show.

The person's position was very close to Zhang Lu's main seat, at the top of all the envoys, and far away from the steps. The prince also looked at the Qi envoy who was qualified to sit in the hall. That envoy seemed to have

As he was thinking, his expression was one of confusion rather than nervousness. The people sitting next to the door should be businessmen from various countries. They often come to Qin to trade in the name of envoys. In fact, apart from saying that the two countries are friendly, they don't know how to convey it.

More information; of course, Qin Chen could get a lot of information from them, so he turned a blind eye and dealt with it vaguely. The expressions of these merchants varied. Most were frightened by the scene in front of them, some were dumbfounded, and some were obviously confused.

They lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads; a few people stared at Zhang Lu's every move with amusement in their expressions. Huang Xie saw the prince looking around and cast approving glances at him.

Then they saw Zhang Lu walking into the hall with his back hunched over. No one dared to look down upon this hunched-over man with an old face. There was a power of life and death in his eyes. As he walked, he said:

"Wei has been punished by heaven and has nothing to pray for!" Then he walked up to a Wei Shang casually and said: "We are not the guards of Puyang, but the Wei of Liang! Wei first offered sacrifices to the West River, then to the East of the River, and then restored

"If you offer Anyi, you must also offer beams!" Zhang Lu spoke impassionedly, and the envoys in the audience didn't know whether to applaud or cry, and all of them remained silent.

Zhang Lu walked up to a Korean merchant again and said: "Qin will definitely cross Han when it goes out to attack Wei. I hope Han can pass through!"

Han Shang did not dare to answer and said: "I must report to the king."

Zhang Lu said: "I think the king of Han will definitely agree! Han Wei will congratulate King An when he pays homage to him; Han Wu will express his condolences when the prince is mourned. Are you going to turn your back on Qin with the whole country? The territory of Han will be divided into three, and I will attack Han. Covered in a single thought! "

The Korean businessman was so frightened that his face turned pale, he was trembling, and he did not dare to look up.

Zhang Lu said: "When An Guojun pays homage to the king, all the princes congratulate him; when the prince mourns, all the princes mourn him, and it is a courtesy. But if the three Jin Dynasties don't know it, how can they deceive our Qin Dynasty! Is there an envoy from Zhao now?"

The businessman from Zhao State in the seat was already so frightened that he was sweating all over his body. How could he dare to answer the question? The businessman next to him pointed out: "Shang Zhao is here!"

Zhang Lu walked over and said, "You can tell King Zhao: I will attack him day and night!"

Zhao Shang did not dare to raise his head and lowered his head and said: "Here!"

Zhang Lu walked to the door of the palace, pointed to the seat of the Prince of Chu, and said: "Qin and Chu are the two great countries in the world. Qin and Chu are connected, who in the world can control them!" He pointed to the envoys of Qi and said: "Although Qi is weak, With Qin and Chu as allies, who can destroy them?"

The envoy of Qi raised his glass in his seat and said: "The King of Qi wishes to wish the King of Qin longevity! The King of Qi has something to say. In the past, Qi offended the world and all the princes attacked it together. Qi was deeply responsible for the crime and had nothing to pray for. Qin was the leader of the alliance and entered Qi first, but there was no Qi. The land of Qi was invaded by Qin, and Qi had great virtue. The land of Qi was attacked by Yan, and only two cities remained. Thanks to the virtue of the ancestors, more than seventy cities were recovered. The rest were not recovered, and Qi also aspired to them and did not dare to forget them. "

Huang Xie said: "Qi was attacked by the five kingdoms, but Chu could save it. Qi has never said a word about virtue, but it is not wrong to aspire to the land above the Huaihe River!"

The envoy of Qi said: "Nao Chi came to Qi's aid and brutally killed the former king and died in the country, which made the world laugh. He took advantage of Qi's danger and captured Huaibei. The people of Qi aspired to it and did not dare to lose it."

Zhang Lu said: "Chu took control of Huaibei, and Qi returned to its old territory, and each of them found his own place. I hope that the two sons will not miss the old evil, but think about the meaning of alliance, and we will always have a good relationship!" Huang Xie and the envoy of Qi stopped talking.

The Prince of Chu waited until he returned to his palace, then found the opportunity to ask Huang Xie: "What does Prime Minister Zhang mean today?"

Huang Xie smiled and said: "Only submit to Wei Er! If Wei Qi flees, Wei will be conquered and the three Jin Dynasties will be destroyed!"

Prince Chu said: "If this is true, what will happen?"

Huang Xie said: "I was ordered by the king to keep Chu from fighting for ten years. Now it has been seven years! But when Qin Xiangjin is three years old, Chu will be strong, and the prince should return!"

The Prince of Chu was shocked when he heard this and looked thoughtfully at the harem. The princess and son were both in the harem. He could even imagine the satisfaction on the princess's face as she looked at the child in her nurse's arms. In fact, he was not the same. ! Sometimes he even thought, what if he lived in Qin all his life and gave up the throne to others? This thought just passed by for a moment. He is Chu, and Chu is himself. This is something he can't escape from the day he was born. Kai's responsibility will not be let go until his death, because he still has to give birth to a future king for Chu State and train him to grow into a qualified King of Chu! - And he himself does not know whether he is qualified or not.

In the afternoon, the King of Qin sent his minister to preach. The Queen Mother misses the Prince. The Prince can go to Ganquan Palace to say hello! The Prince did not dare to neglect and immediately informed the Princess. The Princess and the nanny held the child and rode together in the same carriage. The Prince, Huang Xie, and Prince Fu He With the entourage guarding the car, the group left Chu Palace and headed for Ganquan Palace.

After receiving the report, the female officials of Ganquan Palace led the prince, princess and children to the harem, where the prince accidentally discovered that Ranghou and Huayang Jun were also there.

The Queen Mother was half-lying on a three-tiered straw mat, covered with a thick quilt, and the curtains had been removed. Marquis Rang and Lord Huayang were sitting at the end of the mat.

The prince and the princess held their children in their arms and bowed down at the door of the palace to salute. The queen mother raised her hand, and Marquis Rang stood up, walked to the front, and said to the prince and the princess: "There is no need to give a big ceremony, but you can come close to the table and ask the queen mother to do something."

"

The two held the child in their arms and came to the table. The Queen Mother pointed to the mat, and the two placed the child on the Queen Mother's table. A loving smile appeared on the Queen Mother's face, and she stretched out her hand to tease the baby. The Queen Mother said: "Ju'er pays homage to the Queen Mother

!" The Queen Mother smiled even more happily. She said in a breathy voice: "You will tell me!"

Marquis Rang said: "The princess of Qin has adapted herself to be the prince of Chu. She is capable of fulfilling the virtues of a woman. Marquis Rang will honor her. She is willing to dedicate her land to five hundred households for Princess Tangmu!"

The Queen Mother whispered: "The title of princess will arrive very soon. Don't miss me, my son!"

The prince and the princess both bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, and thank you, Marquis Rang!"

The Queen Mother pointed to Lord Huayang and said, "He also has something to offer!"

When Lord Huayang saw that the Queen Mother was having difficulty speaking, he also explained: "I see that the Princess of Chu is serving Lord An, and she is also capable of fulfilling the virtues of a woman, so she returns to the five hundred households in Huayang and becomes his wife Tang Mu!"

The Empress Dowager also said: "My wife's title has been waiting for a long time! The only thing I think about is your two daughters. Now that you have the support of the king, I feel at ease!"

Ranghou and Huayang Jun said: "The mansions of my ministers and others are about to be prepared, and it is time to return home. I hope the Queen Mother will take good care of her body..."

The Queen Mother said: "Your fate is about to be over soon. Don't worry about the second son. Can Marquis Rang practice his qi and find him?"

Marquis Rang said: "Sima's disciple Gai Nie is unique in his talent. Now he can pass it on!"

The Queen Mother asked: "What kind of person is Gai Nie?"

Marquis Rang said: "He may be incompetent in other matters, but in terms of martial arts, he is very good at everything!"

The Queen Mother said: "If you are allowed to be humble, you will be defeated. Meng said that at the same time, you will be a hero for a while."

Ranghou picked up the child and said: "In terms of talent, he is not as good as Ju'er!" Everyone laughed. Ranghou took out a bamboo slip from his arms and gave it to the prince, saying: "This is the secret to moving Qi. You should aspire to it.

, to teach you."

When the prince took it and looked at it, it read: "To move Qi, if it is deep, it will be stored. If it is stored, it will be stretched. If it is stretched, it will go down. When it goes down, it will be settled. When it is settled, it will be solid. If it is solid, it will sprout. If it sprouts, it will grow. If it grows long, it will retreat. If it retreats, it will be heaven."

The sky is pounded above; the earth is pounded below. If you go with it, you will live; if you go against it, you will die." The prince bowed down and said, "How profound is the virtue given by Marquis Rang!"

Marquis Rang said: "My life, whether I am a general or a minister, is not valuable enough. What is valuable is only in this ear! I hope you can hide it and not let it out."

Both the prince and the princess said: "I'm so glad!"

The three old men teased the children for a long time and talked with the two young people about the world. The Queen Mother looked happy, but her breath was obviously weak. Marquis Rang asked the Queen Mother to breathe out according to the Qi movement technique, and the Queen Mother said: "I haven't done it since I was young.

Why do you do so when you are old?" Mr. Huayang has been in poor health for many years, and only Marquis Rang is still in good health despite his age. The two young men were envious of him. After dinner, they went home.

During the spring plowing season, each country has its own plowing ceremony, which is called "ploughing". Depending on the farming season, some are held on the days of Li Qin, February 2, the Spring Equinox, Shangsi and other days. The Qin State is determined by the heavenly officials observing the astronomical phenomena, and each year

The days are uncertain, but they are always the same. On this day, the King of Qin will plow the land in his "home field" to indicate the coming of spring plowing.
