Former Qin Fengyun

Dong Rong's entourage saw that Fu Huangmei did not return to the mansion after leaving the palace, but wanted to leave the north gate where [-] soldiers were stationed.He immediately snatched the horse from the hands of passers-by on the street and rushed towards the north gate.

The general stationed at the north gate is General Zhou Zhan, Dong Rong's good friend.So Zhou Zhan recognized this follower, and seeing him so anxious, he hurried over.After the entourage dismounted, he quickly said: "Fu Huangmei wants to rebel, catch him quickly!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhan turned pale with shock.

At this moment, Fu Huangmei walked in.The follower and Zhou Zhan glanced at each other.Zhou Zhan shouted: "This man is a traitor, capture him!" Afterwards, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed over.Although Fu Huangmei wounded everyone, he was eventually captured.

Zhou Zhan and his entourage escorted Fu Huangmei into the palace, and came to the Taiji Hall to meet Fu Sheng.

Seeing this, Fu Sheng was puzzled and asked, "Why did you tie up the emperor?"

The entourage saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the villain was ordered by Lord Dong to escort the prince back to the mansion. Unexpectedly, the prince rushed to the north of the city where the triumphant soldiers were stationed in anger. The villain was worried about your majesty's safety, so he informed General Zhou and captured him Meet Your Majesty."

Fu Sheng asked with a sinking face, "Is there such a thing? Why rebellion?"

Fu Huangmei, who is upright and upright by nature, did not deny it and knelt down to cry for grievances, but stood upright like a green pine and avoided talking about it.None of the ministers in the court dared to intercede for him and kept silent.

Fu Sheng Longyan was furious, and slapped the book case and shouted: "Conspiracy and treason, the crime should be punished. But think of him as a clan relative, the whole family of his family will be executed!"

Two soldiers escorted Fu Huangmei down to the palace, but he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, he just looked around at the civil and military ministers standing on both sides, and left with a disdainful smile.

Fu Sheng looked at Dong Rong, and said gratefully: "If Aiqing hadn't been able to control his servants well, I would have been in trouble today. Come, I will reward Aiqing with thousands of taels of gold and ten thousand pieces of silk and satin."

Dong Rong stood up and saluted to thank him.

Half an hour later, Fu Sheng returned to the palace drunk.All the ministers complimented Dong Rong.Just when he was proud of his spring breeze, the heads of more than 30 members of Fu Huangmei's family fell to the ground.

Two days later, Lu Polou came to Songshan and asked the local people to find a tall courtyard deep in the mountain.He knocked on the door lightly, and a childish voice came from inside, "Who knocked?"

Lu Polou replied: "Qin State Lu Polou wants to see Mr. Wang Meng."

But there was no reply.After a long time, a book boy with yellow hair and long hair opened the door, bowed and said, "Please come inside, general."

Lu Polou said to himself: "There are few people here, why does he know that I am a general?" With doubts, he walked along the bluestone road to the hall.I saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting in the middle, next to him was a middle-aged man about 35 years old, tall and sharp-eyed, and several waiters stood on both sides of the hall.He bowed and said, "I met you two in Xialu Po Tower."

The old man asked, "Why did the general come to see Wang Meng?"

Lu Polou replied respectfully: "I am here on behalf of King Fu Jian of the East China Sea to invite Mr. Wang Meng to come out of the mountain and help him save the people of Qin."

Wang Meng couldn't help looking up at Lu Polou.

Lu Polou continued: "Today, Zi Fusheng is violent and inhumane, and he privately believes that he listens to slander. The prince has the heart to save the people, but there are no wise people to guide him. Recently, I heard the name of the gentleman, so I sent me to seek sages. "

Although Wang Meng heard that Fu Jian was friendly to others, he still asked worriedly: "My lord is Fu Sheng's cousin, how can I prove my lord's heart?"

Lu Polou immediately replied: "First, the Qiang people attacked Qin for no reason a few days ago. If the prince hadn't interceded for him, the few remaining Qiang people would have died long ago, and their leader Yao Chang Quanyi is now in the palace, which shows that the prince is open to all rivers. , the prince's wife was actually raped by Fu Sheng in the palace. If the prince hadn't cared about the lives of the people in the house, he would have already led his troops to save people."

Wang Meng glanced at the old man.The old man nodded slightly.Therefore, Lu Polou concluded that the middle-aged man was Wang Meng, so he walked up to Wang Meng, knelt down and saluted, and said, "I hope you can save the people from fire and water, and help the prince achieve great things."

Wang Meng secretly said in his heart: "The state of Jin is dominated by those big clans, while the state of Yan uses its clansmen. Only the state of Qin can show its ambitions by employing people regardless of poor families." So he walked quickly to the front of Lu Polou , lifted him up and said: "General, please get up quickly, and Wang Meng will follow him."

Overjoyed, Lu Polou nodded repeatedly.

Wang Meng walked up to the old man and solemnly kowtowed three times.But the old man said with a smile on his face: "Go with peace of mind, there is nothing important, you don't need to go back."

In the evening of the next day, Taishi ordered Kang Quan to enter the hall to salute and said: "I report to Your Majesty that I see Taibai invading Dongjing. Dongjing is also divided into Qin. Taibai punishes the stars, and there must be violent soldiers in the capital."

Unexpectedly, Fu Sheng laughed and said, "Taibai entered the well? I think it is thirsty to drink water. How is it related to human affairs?" After finishing speaking, he continued to laugh.

Kang Quan had no choice but to salute and retreat.

Two days later in the early morning, Fu Jian went out of the city to meet Wang Meng in person.

Wang Meng saw this young man who was less than 20 years old in front of him, wearing a fancy dress and wearing ancient jade, he saluted and said: "Wang Meng has seen the prince."

Fu Jian hastily supported Wang Meng with both hands.At this time, Wang Meng saw a middle-aged general behind Fu Jian.Fu Jian immediately said: "This is Li Wei, Fu Jian's uncle, who is currently serving as Jing Zhao Yin." Wang Meng wanted to salute.But Li Wei hurriedly supported him and said: "This is not a place to talk, please come inside, sir." After everyone came to the hall, Fu Jian asked the slaves to leave.Then he saluted with both hands and said: "Fu Jian is overjoyed to be here, sir. I don't know what good strategy sir has to solve Qin's difficulties?" Wang Meng, who has read countless people, saw that Fu Jian was really as Lu Polou said. This man is a virtuous corporal Humility is because Qin needs a benevolent monarch.So, he said, "Killing lives and establishing strength." Fu Jian looked at Wang Meng in puzzlement.

Wang Meng continued: "The tyrant Fu Sheng must be eradicated. And the prince is kind-hearted, so he is the best choice for the king." After hearing this, Fu Jian was shocked, and blurted out: "Fu Jian has never had the heart to call himself emperor. As the late emperor's nephew, how can that be?" He hadn't finished.

But Wang Meng said: "The first emperor of Qin was a Ming emperor, why did he pass on the throne to Fu Sheng?"

Fu Jian bowed his head and remained silent.

Wang Meng continued: "If the dragon's heirs were not all of Adou's generation, how could it be Fu Sheng's turn to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor? If you don't find someone who cares about the people as the king, how can you save the people?"

At this time, Li Wei said: "Wen Yu, my uncle holds the military power in the capital, and now everyone in Qin State wants Fu Sheng to die. With the help of my husband, this matter will be settled. Not only will Mu Yu be rescued, but Qin State will also be stabilized. Perhaps in the future, the Qin State will become stronger, destroy the Jin State, and avenge your father and king."

After hearing this, Fu Jian nodded and said, "I don't know what clever plan Mister has?"

Wang Meng said with a smile: "Back then Fu Sheng won the world with the prophecy, so it is better to lose it with the prophecy."

A few days later, there was a song in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, "There is a fish in the East Sea that turns into a dragon, and the man will be a prince and a daughter. Ask where it is at Luoyang Gate."

After Fu Sheng heard this, he said to himself: "A fish turned into a dragon? Is it Yu Zun, the Grand Commandant of Guangning? Now he is the only minister in the court who cares about orders." Thinking of this, he ordered: "Quickly catch Yu Zun Put to death, and kill seven sons and ten grandchildren."

After Fu Jian heard about it, he came to see Wang Meng anxiously and said, "Fu Sheng killed Yu Zun's family, what should we do?"

Wang Meng frowned on purpose and said, "How could Fu Sheng be so dull. The prince is General Longxiang, and the palace is in the east of Luomen." After thinking for a while, he said: "Don't worry, the prince. It's better to intensify the conflict between the officials and the people. Only in the future can they be supported by everyone.”

But Fu Jian said in embarrassment; "Aren't people going to die again?"

Wang Meng looked at the compassionate Fu Jian, and said to himself: "This person will surely benefit the Qin State and protect the common people in the future. Therefore, even though he hurts other people's lives, everything is worth it for the sake of the future." Therefore, he said: "If it is not the case, How can we get rid of Fu Sheng in a natural way?"

Fu Jian nodded helplessly.

A few days later, there was another ballad circulating in Chang'an City, "Looking at the empty city from a hundred miles away, Yu Yuhe Qingqing? Blind children don't know the law, and they can't look up to the stars."

When Fu Sheng, who most taboos words such as "less, nothing, lack, and blind", heard this ballad, he was so angry that he destroyed all the empty cities in the territory.

Seeing that Fu Sheng was so tyrannical, Niu Yi, the doctor of Jin Zi Guang Lu, went to the palace to meet Fu Sheng in order to avoid disaster.He knelt down and said: "The humble minister is useless and cannot share your majesty's worries. Therefore, your majesty is kind enough to transfer the minister outside."

But Fu Sheng said: "You are loyal and respectful, and you should bow to me. How can you be outside the town? I now order you to be a general of the Chinese army."

Although Niu Yi was reluctant, he had no choice but to salute and thank him.

Fu Sheng smiled and said to him: "The ox is slow and heavy, and is good at holding the yoke. Even though it has no feet of a horse, it can bear a hundred stones."

Niu Yi said bluntly and displeasedly: "Although you have served a great task, you have never experienced a steep wall. If you are willing to try a heavy load, you will know your merits."

Fu Sheng said angrily: "If Qing thinks the record is too light, he will reward Qing with the Lord of Yugong."

Niu Yi was taken aback after hearing this, because Fu Sheng ignored Yu Zun as the Minister Gu Ming and killed him, what should he do?Regretted why he had to show off for a while, causing death.But he didn't show it, Xie En saluted and left.

After Niu Yi returned to the mansion, he called his wife to the inner room and said with tears in his eyes: "Today, Your Majesty rewarded me with the title of Yu Zunzhi."

Madam asked puzzledly: "Your husband is promoted, you should celebrate, why are you crying?"

Niu Yi shook his head and said, "None of the ministers arranged by the first emperor survived, and His Majesty is suspicious and listens to slander, and will be punished by everyone if he is careless. Therefore, I am willing to use my life to protect the clan."

After hearing this, the lady burst into tears and said, "Husband, why don't you run away together, although the days are poor, you can..."

But Niu Yi said: "If you leave like this, Your Majesty will be furious and will definitely send troops to chase after him. Where can I find shelter?" Then, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to his wife, and said: "This letter Take refuge with brother Luoyang, and live in peace under anonymity."

The madam burst into tears and said, "Husband!"

Niu Yi said, "Go!"

An hour later, Niu Yi's sons and daughters walked up to Niu Yi and said, "Father."

Niu Yi suppressed tears and said with a smile on his face: "Go to uncle's house with mother first, and father will arrive later." After speaking, he leaned over and kissed the child's forehead.Then, he got up and said to his wife, "Go and take care." The lady nodded with moist eyes, and took the children away in the car.

Niu Yi didn't turn back until he saw that the carriage disappeared completely.After dismissing his subordinates, he came to the study alone and wrote: "Your Majesty, the minister is short-sighted, short-sighted, and deep-rooted. He is really incompetent. He has failed His Majesty's high expectations and has no face. I am hereby committing suicide." Apologize and repay the emperor's kindness." Then he committed suicide by drinking poisoned wine.

The next day, after Fu Sheng read the letter, he threw the letter away and said with a smile: "You have self-knowledge."
