A period of peace passed between the three kingdoms of Jin, Chu and Qin.
But everyone knew that an epic battle, destined to be recorded in history by the victor, was about to break out.
Now, it is just the calm before the storm.
Inside Xianyang city.
The imperial palace.
Daji continued to handle government affairs as usual.
Occasionally, when strolling in the Imperial Garden, he would look up in the direction of Hangu Pass.
I was wondering what His Majesty was doing at this moment.
It seems that the peace we enjoyed since the conquest of Japan is no longer there.
She knew that Ying Yuan was proficient in martial arts and must be longing for a life on the battlefield.
In the future, this kind of scene of being together less and apart more will only become more common, not less.
That day, as usual, after she finished her government affairs, she came to the garden.
Hu Ximei followed closely behind, reporting some things to her:
"Everything is fine with Concubine Jing, but I heard that the young lady from the Li family has arrived.
Now she is accompanying Concubine Jing. They have a deep friendship, so nothing should go wrong.
As for Consort Xuan, she remained in the Seven Stars Life-Extending Formation, praying for His Majesty day and night;
As for the other two concubines, Concubine Luo and Concubine Cheng, they also followed Concubine Xuan's example and built a Buddhist temple in the palace.
Madam, the two young masters haven't seen you for a long time and often cry until midnight...
The nurse is at her wit's end. Why don't you take some time to go see those two children?"
She really felt sorry for Ying Chuan and Ying Ying.
Such a young child, yet he can't see his biological mother all day, not to mention his father who has already led the army to fight.
Daji shook her head and said, "If I were to see those two children, I would be tied to them day and night. There are too many things going on in the court right now, and I cannot have any second thoughts."
In fact, she never thought that one day she would be so tired.
What she wanted to do most was to be carefree every day and be with Ying Yuan.
Even if the world gave her the hat of seducing the king, she didn't care.
However, she knew that Ying Yuan wanted to be a wise ruler.
So she had to force herself to be a virtuous queen.
Take care of all the affairs of the family for him.
Hu Ximei sighed and talked about other things, "Recent news from the people seems to be not very friendly to the court.
Some people said that the two to three million combined forces of Jin and Chu were enough to conquer the Qin Dynasty. They spread the theory of national destruction everywhere, and many people suffered greatly from it.
Some people have tried every possible means to get close to the enemy country, and the East Factory has arrested and brought these people to justice.
There were even spies from various countries who spread the news that the generals in the court were not in harmony and no one was willing to submit to anyone else, so His Majesty the Emperor had to lead the army in person.
Moreover, since Your Majesty left Xianyang, some people have said that the relationship between the Minister of War Cao Cao and the Prime Minister Cai Jing is not very harmonious.
It is even said that the factional struggles in our court have become increasingly severe.
Prime Minister Cai Jing and his cronies had declared war on the Left Prime Minister Qin. For a time, the court was in chaos, which gave the Jin and Chu countries the opportunity to form an alliance and attack.
Of course, there are also voices saying that it was Your Majesty's expedition to Japan and the construction of the canal that caused widespread public resentment, and that the Jin-Chu coalition is intended to force the Qin Dynasty to correct its existing political mistakes."
Hearing this, Daji shook her head helplessly and said, "These people's mouths are impossible to control. Instead of wasting energy on them, we might as well do our own things well."
After a pause, she continued, "I believe that the people of Daqin are not all easily deceived by a few words.
However, those who really want to do something for Daqin are unwilling to argue with those who make such noises.
They have been talking about how bad this country is, but they have never thought about doing something for Daqin from the perspective of self-reliance.
Blindly blaming others will only accelerate their own degradation. Such people will receive their due punishment in the future."
Hu Ximei nodded and said nothing more.
...
A few days later.
Inside Hangu Pass.
Ying Yuan received a message saying that the vanguard general appointed by the Emperor of Chu himself had arrived at the Chu camp.
The name of the vanguard general was Xiang Yu.
It is said that this person has double pupils and great strength, and will be the leading figure of the Xiang clan of the Chu State in the next few decades.
When they heard that it was a descendant of the Xiang family, the generals and soldiers of the Qin army all wanted to lead a battalion of soldiers to the front of the enemy camp to shout and curse and meet the vanguard.
They didn't know how powerful Xiang Yu was.
However, Ying Yuan, who knew the historical figures of his previous life, knew it clearly!
Overlord Xiang Yu, with his strength to move mountains and his courage to conquer the world, was truly invincible!
So, when those Qin army soldiers stood in front of the room where Ying Yuan lived and asked to meet him, Ying Yuan could not help it.
The soldiers only saw him walk out of the room, look at them, and slowly say: "If you want to go there, go ahead. I won't stop you, absolutely not."
He thought to himself, if you guys want to die, that's perfect for you!
I couldn’t ask for more!
Anyway, after the Jin-Chu coalition forces defeat the Qin Dynasty, all of you can be resurrected.
When the officers and soldiers heard his words, they all felt that there was some hidden meaning behind his words.
Judging from the tone of your Majesty, why does it feel like you are speaking in a sarcastic way?
While the soldiers were hesitating, Huo Guang slowly approached and shouted angrily, "How dare you come and disturb His Majesty's peace! Why don't you leave?"
