General Qin

Qin Wangzheng stared coldly at his son.

hate him?

Fusu lowered his head, his breathing became somewhat rapid.

Facing his father's question, he couldn't answer immediately.

Fusu is a person who attaches great importance to emotions. Before his eyes, various scenes of his childhood emerged.

The royal father only has the world in his eyes, and the country in his heart. For his eldest son, because of his busy government affairs, he has always been negligent in teaching and accompanying him.

Especially as the father's heirs increased, he paid less and less attention to himself.

The only ones who accompanied Fusu when he was young were his mother, and the Empress Dowager Huayang, who was also from the Chu family and loved him very much.

That is, beside the Empress Dowager Huayang, Fusu met Lord Changping and Lord Changwen who often came to visit her.

Although they were born in Chu, they are the princes of Qin, and they act differently.

Mr. Changping is gentle and elegant, while Mr. Changwen is bold and generous.

But the same thing is that both of them love Fusu very much, and they often get along with Fusu intimately at the invitation of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

They taught Fusu how to behave in the world, they taught Fusu to learn the elegant and free Chu culture, and they planted a seed of "Chu people" in Fusu's heart.

These two people are not like their father, but they are closer to Fusu than his father.

There is a bond called "family affection" between them.

Therefore, when Fusu heard of Lord Changping's rebellion two years ago, he felt incredible.

For him, Xiong Qi was first of all a close person and also a teacher who taught him, so the first thing he thought of was to hope that his father could investigate the reason for Xiong Qi's betrayal.

Then he was severely reprimanded by Qin Wangzheng.

Fusu was sad and confused.

He has always been very clear that his father doesn't like him.

After Xiong Qi rebelled against Qin, he didn't know what to do.

Fusu is just a teenager in his teens. He has never experienced hardships in personnel affairs and social trials, so he doesn't know how to make the right choice.

Until a person woke him up.

"Young master, recognize your identity."

In a daze, Zhao Tuo's previous words rang in Fusu's ears.

my identity?

That's right, Fusu is not only the child taught by Lord Changping and Lord Changwen, but also a son of Qin.

The bloodline of the surname Ying, the eldest son of King Qin.

This is his true identity as Fusu.

For the child who was taught by Chu people, Xiong Qi's betrayal was justifiable.

But for a son of Qin, there is no other answer to this matter.

After two years of thinking, and after he came to Huaiyang with Qin Wangzheng in person, he was stimulated by seeing the Chu king and his ministers bowing at their feet.

Fu Su realized.

He is the last fruit of the twenty-fifth generation of Qin Chu's curse alliance in-laws.

He is a child of the blood of Qin and Chu.

But Qin and Chu, he can only choose one.

"I hate him!"

Fusu raised his head and said firmly.

Qin Wangzheng's eyes flashed brightly, and he continued to ask: "Why do you hate him?"

Fusu didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "During the battle of our Qin State against Chu, Xiong Qi betrayed Qin and surrendered to Chu. Not only did countless people of our country die in Chu, but he also betrayed his father and the Qin State. Rebellious thief, as the prince of Qin, I should hate him!"

"very good."

Qin Wangzheng looked at his son with a resolute face in front of him, his eyes were full of joy.

Compared with the hesitation and trembling of Fusu when he watched Chu's monarchs and ministers submit in Huaiyang, and heard himself ask Xiong Qidang whether he should die, Fusu now is finally more and more like a prince of Qin.

When he was in Huaiyang, Qin Wangzheng asked Fusu to watch the collapse of Chu State with his own eyes, and watched the King of Chu and his ministers kneeling at his feet, so as to break Fusu's goodwill towards Chu State and Chu culture in his heart.

Let Fusu know that Chu and Qin are like courtiers and concubines.

But today, Qin Wangzheng wants to take advantage of Xiong Qi's incident to completely cut off the chains that entwine Fusu and the people of Chu.

"Xiong Qi, as the king and minister of our state of Qin, rebelled against Qin and returned to Chu during the war. The widow was very angry, and wished to whip his corpse and tear his body apart."

"You are the son of the widow, acting in the contemporary widow's time, flogging the corpses of the rebels in the ancestral temple, in order to relieve the hatred in the widow's heart! Revenge my Qin country!"

Qin Wangzheng opened his mouth and stared at his son.

Flog the dead to avenge their hatred!

He wanted Fusu to completely sever ties with the Chu people under the watchful eyes of the ancestors and kings of Qin.

Qin and Chu are incompatible.

"Son, follow the father's order."

Fu Su cupped his hands, without any hesitation in his voice.

Seeing Fusu's unhesitating appearance in front of him, the joy in Qin Wangzheng's heart reached its peak.

"Very well, this is the widow's son, and this is the son of my country Qin."

Qin Wangzheng reached out and patted Fusu on the shoulder, turned around and laughed.

"Father."

Seeing Qin Wangzheng's leaving back, Fusu couldn't help stretching out his hand, and touched the place where his father's palm was caressing just now.

There, it seemed that the warmth of the father's palm still remained.

He felt the joy and approval of his father.

This is an emotion that Fusu, who has been criticized and reprimanded by Qin Wangzheng for a long time, has never felt.

Fusu was very happy, the look of his father laughing happily just now was deeply imprinted in his heart.

"Zhao Jun is right. Only when I recognize my identity and do what I am supposed to do, will my father like and recognize me."

Fusu turned around and looked across the Wei River.

The triumphant army has entered the city of Xianyang.

The corpse of the traitor Xiong Qi was also among them.

he whispered.

"I am the son of Qin, and you are the false king of Chu, and even a traitor of my Qin."

"I will whip your corpse myself, and avenge my father and the state of Qin."

...

Zhao Tuo followed Wang Jian to step on the chariot again, and walked towards the palace on the north bank of the Wei River amidst the welcome of Xianyang people.

It was the same as the welcome ceremony in the past.

In addition to the excited common people who welcomed their triumphant team, there were also warriors in armor and swords standing on both sides of the road leading to the Qin Palace, striking shields with swords and singing mighty battle songs.

The music officials rang the bell and struck the fou, composing passionate and majestic music for it.

In the bursts of mighty singing.

Zhao Tuo was excited.

Although after several years of training on the battlefield, his personality has become quite calm, but after thousands of miles of wars in the South and North. Zhao Tuo's yearning for Xianyang and those people in Xianyang is still hard to contain.

Compared with Zhao, who has no sense of belonging, Xianyang, the capital of Qin, is his real home in this era.

Now, he is home.

"King."

"Princess."

"And General Lee."

"I'm back!"

...

The body of the traitor Xiong Qi was taken away by the doctor's guards. It is said that he wanted to take it to the ancestral temple of the Qin State to show victory, so that the ancestors and kings of the Qin State could see that the traitor Xiong Qi who betrayed the Qin State had already been captured by the Qin General. kill.

The humiliation and defeat that Li Xin suffered when he conquered Chu has been completely wiped away.

Qin State is still the invincible Qin State!

After the triumphant devotion, it came to the link of drinking to, giving up, and giving honor.

Rewards for meritorious deeds and a celebration banquet.

Perhaps it was because of the great merits of destroying Chu this time, Qin Wangzheng paid special attention to it.

Not only the general Wang Jian, but also generals such as Zhao Tuo, Qiang Li, and Yang Yuan, all the Qin generals who participated in the battle against Chu were allowed to enter the palace to receive rewards and participate in the celebration banquet in the evening.

Of course, these Qin generals at the rank of military marquis and school lieutenant are limited to entering the palace to participate in the celebration banquet.

Only Wang Jian and the other generals were officially rewarded at the palace.

"The last time we went to the palace with the general and were rewarded by the king. The king even asked me about my black buttocks. Looking back on that scene now, I am extremely excited. Unfortunately, this time we will not have our share."

Hei Hiu followed the generals into the Qin Palace, regretting as he walked.

Beside him, Shejian glared at him: "The ones who entered the palace this time are all the school lieutenants who have triumphantly returned, and there are dozens of them in total. How can such a number of people go to the palace together to pay homage to the king? It is already a great honor to enter the palace and receive the reward."

While the generals were walking and chatting, a military officer in the crowd was full of ashes and walked stiffly.

All the generals have made meritorious deeds, but he alone was defeated.

This time, if everyone was rewarded and promoted, but he was dismissed and demoted, it would be really shameful and thrown to the ground.

I'm afraid even his father will lose his head because of this.

"Mr. Li, don't worry. When I return to Xianyang this time, I will go to Bangwei Mansion and tell Duke Wei about your achievements. My military achievements, Ren Xiao, are half of yours."

Ren Xiao came over and patted his chest to reassure.

Li You twitched the corner of his mouth and turned his face sideways.

Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to catch a glimpse of the distance, the general Wang Jian was leading the meritorious generals to board Dan Bi, and walked towards the main hall.

Among them, there is a young general.

"Zhao Tuo."

Li You gritted his teeth, his heart filled with complicated emotions.

...

Enter Qin Palace.

Fengchang, who is in charge of rituals and sacrifices, personally directed the music officials under him to play music for Wang Qinggong.

Celebrating and praising, King Qin's amazing feats in consolidating Jingchu.

"Strike Yin and Wu, fight against Jing and Chu. Go deep into its obstacles, and take a journey through Jing."

"Jingchu, a daughter of Wei, lives in Nanxiang of the country. In the past, there was Chengtang. Since then, Diqiang, no one dared not come to enjoy it, and no one dared not come to the king. It is said that business is common."

Zhao Tuo was a little excited when he heard it.

"This is "Yin Wu". It is a hymn praising King Wu Ding of Yin's crusade against Jing and Chu, defeating the barbarians in the south, and countless princes surrendering to him."

Zhao Tuo is a descendant of the Zhao family whose surname is Ying, and he is very familiar with this song, and even knows the meaning of the Qin king's order to play this song.

Ying's surname is Qin Guo, and he is a survivor of the Yin and Shang dynasties, and is very close to the merchants in blood.

The distant ancestor with the surname Ying was an aristocrat of the Yin and Shang dynasties.

Fei Lian, the common ancestor of Qin and Zhao, was the most beloved charioteer of King Zhou of Shang and a true trusted minister.

Among them, the ancestor of the Qin State, Fei Lian's eldest son, Elai, was killed by the Yin Shang and was killed by King Wu of Zhou, which caused his descendants to decline for a long time. It was not until Feizi raised horses for the King of Zhou that he had a chance to stand up.

Therefore, in some respects, Qin often regarded itself as the successor of Yin and Shang.

For example, the people of Qin inherited the sacrifices of Yin and Shang. When the king passed away, he often killed and buried as many as 180 people at a time. It was not until the Qin Xiangong era that this tradition inherited from Yin and Shang was abolished. The scale and cruelty of Qin's human sacrifices were far inferior to those of the Zhou people, so the princes of the Central Plains regarded Qin as a barbarian, and there is no reason for this.

And this time Qin State destroyed Chu.

Qin Wangzheng took "Yin Wu" as the song, just to show that from the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the present, the Jingchu barbarians, which the Central Plains regime has not been able to eliminate for nearly a thousand years, officially ended in his hands.

He is Qin Wangzheng.

He is the greatest king in the world!

"The king is all victorious!"

"Qin is all victorious!"

In the cheering tsunami, and the passionate ancient music.

Zhao Tuo followed Wang Jian into the hall.

The hall is majestic, with all the officials standing on both sides, their eyes falling on them.

But Zhao Tuo and the generals did not dare to look around casually. Amidst the voices of the audience, they followed Wang Jian and walked quickly into the hall, kneeling down to the high-ranking Qin Wangzheng Jishou.

Immediately afterwards, the general Wang Jian returned to his command.

"My minister Wang Jian, following the order of the king, led his troops to attack Chu, and fought against the Jing people in Huaiyang..."

"Destroy the Jingchu Sheji, capture and kill the traitor Xiong Qi, to avenge the country, and dedicate victory to the king!"

In Wang Jian's slow and steady tone, the reinstatement is over, and finally the most exciting time has come.

The aloof Qin Wangzheng spoke.

"You will destroy Chu this time, avenge our country, and demonstrate Qin's prestige. I will reward you very much!"

As the king's voice fell, the audience came forward with the imperial edict and read it aloud.

"King Wei's twenty-fourth year, it was in Jidong. General Wang Jian conquered Jingchu, avenged our country, and showed our Qin power. His achievements are unparalleled in the world. The king is very happy and rewards his merits and virtues."

"Wang Jian, the Marquis of Guannei, was granted the title of Marquis of Che and Marquis of Wucheng for his achievements in overcoming Jing and Chu."

Wang Jian kowtowed to thank him with a smile on his face.

Zhao Tuo stood behind, very envious.

Old general, the level is full.

Really a role model for my generation.

At this time, the audience continued to read the next award.

"Zhao Tuo was brave and good at fighting. Zhencheng defeated the Qi army and captured Qi's chief Sima. Sui Shui defeated Chu general Xiang Qu, went south to attack Shouchun, Huaiyin defeated the army of the false king, and defeated Chu Ling Yin Xiangyan. The southern expedition forged Jiangdong , Yuedi, captured and killed the traitor Xiong Qi and returned it. To show the power of our country, he is the hero of Qin, and the king is very happy."

"Zhao Tuo was promoted to two ranks in the middle class, and he was bestowed with a thousand pieces of gold for the young master."

I have a question. Regarding Feng Quji and Feng Jie, I have seen people say that they are father and son several times, and that Feng Quji is Feng Jie's father. But no corresponding information was found, and the source could not be found. And according to "Historical Records", when the Qin State first annexed the world, Feng Jie was the imperial doctor, ranking above Feng Quji. If it was father and son, Feng Jie should not be above Feng Quji.

So, do any book friends know the records and textual research of the relationship between the two?
