Chapter 1 You must take Chang'an as your pledge!

"The King of Qi wants Chang'an to go to Linzi to be the hostage, and he is willing to send troops to help Zhao!"

In the Fengtai Hall of the Zhao King Palace in Handan City, after receiving the news from the envoy, Empress Dowager Zhao lost her former grace and was furious.

Empress Dowager Zhao is over 40 years old, with a drooping bun on her head, wearing a plain mourning dress, and concealing her haggard face with light makeup. At this moment, she was extremely angry, her crimson thin lips were pursed tightly, and her eyes seemed to be about to spit out of fire. She was not only the regent of the Zhao State, but also a vassal and a mother...

This year was 265 BC, and it was a turbulent spring for Zhao State.

In the middle of last winter, Zhao Huiwen, a wise king of Zhao, passed away and left a huge country to marry her. Empress Dowager Zhao was a strong woman. She did not collapse because of this, but quickly wiped away her tears and held the throne ceremony for her eldest son Zhao Dan in the first lunar month. Because Zhao Wangdan had not yet won the title, the Empress Dowager would serve as the regent and preside over the state affairs.

The Empress Dowager had a high prestige inside and outside the palace. Her political methods were not necessarily very clever, but they were a rock that stabilized the hearts of the people. Under her leadership, everything in Zhao State was smoothly transitioning and handing over. Unexpectedly, Qin State took the opportunity to attack, seize three border cities, and had the intention to take advantage of the situation to go deep into Zhao.

The king of Zhao had just died, and the country was unstable. There were sporadic rebellions in Zhongshan area, and the Xiongnu invaded the border in the north. The neighbor Yan State was also ready to move, so he did not dare to face the powerful Qin alone.

Queen Mother Zhao asked for help from her mother's family, Qi State, but she expected that the King of Qi made such a request:

"The Lord of Chang'an must be the chief magistrate, and the troops will come out!"

This condition was something that Queen Mother Zhao could not agree to.

Queen Mother Zhao is the daughter of King Min of Qi and the sister of King Tian Fazhang of Qi. She was in her prime and married far away from Zhao State at the age of 16. Fortunately, she got the heart of King Huiwen of Zhao. The couple was as close as possible, and gave birth to one daughter and two sons for King Huiwen of Zhao: Princess Yan, King Dan of Zhao, and the younger son Chang'an Jun...

Women spoil their youngest son, and Queen Mother Zhao is no exception. Compared to the Yanhou who married far away from Yan State, and compared to the growing up, Zhao Wangdan, who is busy learning the way of governing the country, and becoming increasingly alienated from her, the Chang'an Jun is her only treasure.

After King Huiwen died, she was lonely and devoted all her feelings to Chang'an Jun. The entire Zhao State and even neighboring countries knew that Empress Dowager Zhao's preference for her youngest son was not only given him the status of "Chang'an Jun", but also selected some fertile land to be granted as a fief. During festivals, Chang'an Jun also got the most precious treasures.

It is precisely because of this that King Qi, who knew the weakness of Empress Dowager Zhao, asked Chang'an Jun as the "token" for sending troops!

"Chang'an Jun is only 15 years old and still has no adult child! The old woman is a princess married to Qi State. Can't even believe him Tian Fazhang?"

The regent was still short and had not yet completely transformed into a politician mind. At this moment, the King of Qi was no longer her brother, but became an enemy and directly called his name.

After hearing what the empress dowager said, Lin Xiangru, the head of the civil servant, stood up, put away his sleeves wide, bowed and said:

"The Empress Dowager, today there are seven countries in the Warring States Period, Zhao, Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei, Yan, and Han. The seven countries may combine the weak to attack one strong, or have a strong to attack one weak, so the scholars have no fixed ruler and the country has no fixed relationship. It is an ordinary thing to form an alliance today and destroy promises tomorrow."

"The relationship between Zhao and Qi is the same. Not to mention that the previous kings had participated in the five countries' attack on Qi and seized more than ten cities in Jixi and Jidong in Qi, nor did they mention the Battle of Maqiu when Ma Fujun was invaded. Just say that five years ago, I led my troops to attack Qi to Pingyi. Now, although Zhao Qi is friendly, the Queen Mother has agreed to return the three cities in Jidong that they had occupied before, but the King of Qi must have concerns and it is understandable to ask for hostages. The Qin army was very anxious to attack Zhao, and I hope the Queen Mother should put state affairs first!"

This remark triggered a moment of echoing: "I hope the Empress Dowager will send Chang'an to Linzi!"

Lian Po, the general who was kind to Lin Xiangru, also stood on the same front with him and made great suggestions; Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, looked left and right, and wanted to speak but stopped; even Zhao She, the king of Ma Fu, who had always been tough on Qin, remained silent, obviously thinking that this was a good diplomatic deal.

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and her hands also held her phoenix-headed cane.

Yes, it’s so worth it to exchange a mere young man for help from Qi State, forcing Qin State to retreat and abandon one person to gain great benefits!

But have they considered the safety of Chang'an Jun?

Everyone is loyal and kind to the country, but how can they understand the difficulties and pains of a mother?

The ministers took turns to make strong suggestions, asking the Queen Mother to ask the Queen Mother to make the Chang'an king the right, and the Zhao country and the country were the most important. These words were like sharp spears and halberds, piercing into the Queen Mother Zhao's heart.

Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore, so she got up from the couch, raised her crutch, and the brass stick pointed heavily on the floor, making a loud noise, and it was shocking!

She had been in the position of the queen for a long time and had a bad temper. She was so angry that the ministers in the palace stopped their advice and looked at the queen mother in shock.

"The old woman has abandoned a daughter for Zhao State. Now, do you want to take away my beloved son?"

Legend has it that there is a reverse scale under the chin of the giant dragon in the abyss. Once touched, it will immediately emit infinite dragon power like a volcanic eruption!

At this moment, she was not only the queen mother of Zhao, but also like a female dragon who was furious because she was about to be stolen from her cubs. She wanted to show off her minions and roar in the trembling palace, so that they could retreat!

Queen Mother Zhao said sternly: "Today I will tell you clearly about the second and third sons. If you say that you will ask the Lord of Chang'an to be a vassal of Qi, the old woman will be salivated!"

The empress dowager scolded such ugly words, obviously she didn't plan to reason anymore. The ministers of Zhao had never seen this situation, so they had to lower their heads and bow their bodies to be gentle.

Empress Dowager Zhao suppressed the ministers with one breath, then waved her sleeves angrily and left with the help of the temple and palace maids.

However, just as the curtain was opened and entering the inner room of Fengtai main hall, Empress Dowager Zhao saw a young man.

The shiny black hair on his head was tied into a small body (tiáo). He did not wear a crown, but only fixed it with a jade matte. He wore a white robe dress and a white jade bi carved into a full moon shape around his waist. The bright yellow ears hung down until the beige lower robe and under his feet were dark kale shoes.

The young man bowed to her and said, "I have seen my mother..."

As soon as he saw him, Empress Dowager Zhao was full of anger and immediately turned into nothing.

This is the treasure of Queen Mother Zhao. Her youngest son, Chang'an Jun, is known as Zhao Guang, and is known as Gong Zi Guang. As for the nickname...

Empress Dowager Zhao called him "Bright Moon".

...

"Take a long sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred

After Qu Yuan, a doctor from Chu, saw that Yingdu was captured by the Qin army and committed suicide by jumping into the river in despair, his works were spread to other countries by Song Yu and Jingchai and other younger disciples, and the State of Zhao, which loved literary scholars, was no exception. This article "Nine Chapters. Crossing the River" was especially loved by Queen Mother Zhao, so he used the "Mingyue" in it as the nickname of his youngest son, which shows that his treasure was so good.

He was the flesh and blood she gave birth to ten months of pregnancy, the little guy she grew up breastfeeding herself, and the bright moon she was proud of. Queen Mother Zhao didn't need the waiter to help her, and took a few steps to pull up the boy, and said kindly:

"Mingyue, you have just recovered from a serious illness and don't rest on the couch. How could you be here? Is this a great gift?"

Before the young man could answer, Empress Dowager Zhao once again questioned the eunuch Ling Miaoxian, who was standing aside: "Didn't you let you take good care of yourself? Why did Chang'an appear here?"

The eunuch Ling Miao Xian smiled bitterly and was about to apologize, Chang'an Jun hurriedly exonerated him and said, "Mother, don't blame the eunuch Ling, it was my son who forced him to bring me here."

"you?"

Empress Dowager Zhao looked back at Chang'an Jun.

Among the first and second sons, he was born like Queen Mother Zhao the most, which was one of the reasons why Queen Mother spoiled him. Her handsome face, broad forehead, and only those eyes were not as strong as Queen Mother Zhao, but more bright and gentle as her, but at this time she was a bit strange...

Queen Mother Zhao had already noticed that after King Huiwen of Zhao passed away, his carefree young son had some sorrow in his eyes, and even sighed in no one. He looked at the weeping willows that had sprouted tender buds under the pavilion and stared at the new mud under the eaves in a daze, but his worries never spoke clearly to Queen Mother Zhao.

Seeing it and hurting it in my heart, Queen Mother Zhao couldn't help but wonder, what was wrong with him?

Feeling the burning gaze, Mingyue quickly lowered her head, not daring to face Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes for a long time, and her heart was even more thumping - he was feeling guilty, afraid that he, a Xibei product, would be exposed in front of his sensitive mother...

Because he is no longer the original Chang'an Jun, at least not all, this thin and handsome little body has an extra soul from more than two thousand years later!

With his head down, the bright moon recalled what had happened in the past month...

...

His name is Zhao Mingyue. He was born in the 1990s. He had lost his mother since he was a child and was pulled by his father. When he named him, his father, who always liked to be sour poems, picked the meaning of "The spring breeze is green on the south bank of the river, and when will the bright moon shine on me?" As a result, this name is quite similar to a girl. From elementary school to high school, it has attracted countless ridicule for him.

However, as he gets older, he doesn't care. Such a name becomes unique and makes it a group.

He studied history in college. After graduation, he relied on luck to be a small civil servant. In just three years, he experienced the worldly ways. Whether it was psychology or face, he became round and swelling. At first glance, he looked like a bright moon.

He has no other hobbies. He studied history and good things. He dared not call himself an expert because of his professional background. At most, he was a fan of the level of a fan. He always liked to read history books and documentaries without any trouble. Although he was in love with the generous and tragic Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he never thought that after he died in an accident, he would return to the Warring States Period more than two thousand years ago. His consciousness was not destroyed and he would continue to survive with the help of this body.

This 15-year-old boy, also called "Mingyue", has a weaker constitution. He was seriously ill when he was kneeling continuously during the mourning period, so he took advantage of the situation. However, when he got up and looked at the bronze critic, he found that his teeth were neat and handsome, and he was countless times better than the fat man in his previous life.

What surprised him even more was that he inherited most of the memories of "Bright Moon" and did not replace them, but was integrated with him. Not only could he understand the ancient Chinese of this era, copy seal characters, but he could even subconsciously imitate his original temperament. With this gift, Ming Yue could handle it properly without revealing his feet.

From his memory, he learned that he was in the Warring States Period, was the son of Zhao State, and was named Chang'an Jun.

He lives in the palace pavilion of the King of Handan. There are palace maids serving him to wear brocade clothes, so that he doesn't have to worry about not being able to control the complicated deep clothes. On weekdays, he enjoys food from bells and tripods. Although the food is too weird for him to swallow, fortunately, it is sufficient nutrition. As long as he exercises and recupers, he will be able to recover as before.

He must cherish the disaster even if he survives the disaster. With his steady and intelligent personality, he will remember everything he sees. He also used the excuse that he forgot some things because of illness and often asked questions to the waiters around him.

At this time, the benefits of the superiors are reflected. Everyone around them treats him as a treasure and speaks out, because he is very good at asking questions and does not arouse suspicion.

But Mingyue also has something to worry about, one is her deep worries about the future.

After knowing the posthumous title of the ancestor "King Huiwen of Zhao" and the names of Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Zhao She and others, he had undoubtedly determined the time point he was in: in 265 BC, the first year of King Xiaocheng of Zhao.

Based on the history I learned in my previous life, he knew that in three years, Qin and Zhao would confront each other because of the Shangdang dispute. Five years later, the confrontation completely evolved into a desperate battle: the Battle of Changping!

Zhao Mingyue could not use science to explain why he could travel through time, and he was unwilling to blame ghosts and gods, so he had to use "the will of heaven in the dark" to warn himself. At this time, when he came to this place, he was the identity of the Prince of Zhao. Does it mean that his rebirth has some connection with the Battle of Changping that happened soon?

"Is it possible that God wants me to stop the Battle of Changping?" He asked himself this when no one was there.
