Former Qin Fengyun

When Fu Jian returned to the palace and was about to visit Empress Dowager Gou, he suddenly saw Xixue, Zhang Muzhen's personal maid, hurried over, saluted and said, "Report to Heavenly King, Madam is about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jian immediately ran to Fengqi Palace.

He walked quickly into the hall, and saw that the imperial physicians in the palace had already knelt on the ground, and from time to time, some palace people brought out basins of bloody water.Fu Jian, who was very worried, wanted to go in to see Zhang Muzhen, but was stopped by a midwife and said, "Heavenly King is not allowed. The bloody atmosphere here is too heavy, and it is not suitable to go in for fear of hurting the dragon's body. Besides, my wife is well at this time, it is better for the Heavenly King to be here." Waiting for the good news?"

Fu Jian nodded and said, "Mother and child must be safe!"

The midwife saluted again and said: "Your maid obeys the order." Then she left.

Anxious Fu Jian was walking back and forth in the hall, at this moment, someone outside shouted: "The Queen Mother is here!" Fu Jian just wanted to come out of the hall to greet him, but the Queen Mother Gou had already walked in quickly.Fu Jian immediately saluted him.Empress Dowager Gou waved her hand and asked, "How?"

Fu Jian shook his head and said, "Especially knowable?"

Empress Dowager Gou comforted: "There is no need to worry, women give birth like this."

Fu Jian nodded.

Half an hour later, only the sound of a baby crying came from inside.Fu Jian and Empress Dowager Gou immediately got up from their seats and walked into the room.I saw Zhang Muzhen lying on the bed weakly, his face was as white as paper, and his complexion was completely gone.The midwife next to her was wrapping the baby in a yellow brocade quilt.

Fu Jian immediately walked quickly to Zhang Muzhen's bed, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and said distressedly: "Madam is suffering."

Seeing that Fu Jian cared so much about him, Zhang Muxi was very happy and smiled.

Empress Dowager Gou walked up to the midwife and asked, "Is it a man or a woman?"

The midwife saluted and said, "Report to the Queen Mother, she is a princess."

After listening to the Queen Mother Gou, she smiled triumphantly, but immediately put away her smile.

When Fu Jian and Zhang Muzhen heard the word 'princess', they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.However, in order to comfort Zhang Muzhen, Fu Jian got up with a smile on his face and came to the midwife, took the baby and hugged it in his arms and said: "The ancients said, 'Holding treasures and cherishing treasures', why not name the princess Fu Bao and seal her Shunyang, How are you?"

Seeing that Fu Jian liked this daughter very much, Zhang Muchai said with a reassuring smile, "This name is very good."

Empress Dowager Gou took the opportunity to say: "This woman is indeed a blessed person, who can bring great luck to the king of heaven."

Fu Jian and Zhang Muzhen looked at Queen Mother Gou in puzzlement.

Empress Dowager Gou said proudly: "Zhen'er is pregnant!"

Fu Jian said in surprise: "Is the queen happy?"

Empress Dowager Gou looked at Fu Jian and said, "In the past three months, the Heavenly King has not left Fengqi Palace. How could he know about this? Now that the fruit is ripe, the Heavenly King should go to Changle Palace more often."

Even though Fu Jian was reluctant, there was no other way to explain it, so he saluted and said: "My son obeys the order."

Empress Dowager Gou nodded in satisfaction, then cast a disdainful glance at Zhang Muzhen and got up to leave.

Fu Jian hurriedly got up and saluted and said, "Respectfully send off the queen mother." But when he turned around, he saw Zhang Muzhen, who was in a daze, in a daze.Fu Jian, who understood her thoughts, walked to the side of the bed and sat down, gently touched her face with his hand and said softly, "Would you like to be Lihua?"

Zhang Muzhen looked at him puzzled.

Fu Jian continued: "Yin Lihua and Liu Xiu went through hardships and were finally buried together. At that time, although Empress Guo was infinitely beautiful and her son entered the East Palace, it was a dream after all. So what about the first-born daughter? We will have the first one in the future." The second child, the third child, will eventually have a prince and heir."

Zhang Muchai was moved and burst into tears.

Fu Jian wiped away her tears with his hands, and asked the midwife to carry Princess Shunyang over.He hugged the princess and said: "Bao'er is so beautiful, you should choose a good son-in-law to protect her for life."

Zhang Muxi nodded with a smile.

They all expect history to repeat itself, and the result is as happy as Liu Xiulihua.

A month later, Fu Jian hosted a banquet in the Hall of Taiji to celebrate Princess Shunyang's full moon.

During the banquet, Fu Jian said to Wang Meng: "I wonder if the prince has ever met Yang Ding, the son of the former general Yang An?"

Fu Jian saluted and replied: "Although Yang Dingxian is a child, he has superb martial arts skills and a gentle personality. He will definitely be a rare Confucian general in the future."

Fu Jian nodded with a smile and said, "How about marrying the princess to this person?"

But before Wang Meng could reply.But Fan Shi immediately saluted and said: "Report to the Heavenly King, the minister made the marriage of the children earlier than the Yang family, so this matter must never be done."

Fu Jian, who didn't know anything about it, just wanted to say, "Since that's the case, don't mention it."

But Wang Meng took this opportunity to eradicate Fan Shi.Therefore, he loudly accused Fan Shidao: "As a minister, how can you compete with the emperor for son-in-law?"

Fan Shi became angry when he heard it.Furious, he immediately got up and walked quickly to Wang Meng, raising his hand to hit him.Fortunately, the ministers on both sides stopped him in time.Although Fan Shi couldn't beat Wang Meng, he cursed loudly: "You lowly people, how dare you confuse people with lies here!"

But Wang Meng retorted and said: "I speak for the king of heaven, how can it be a monster!"

Fan Shi, who was dizzy with anger, spoke harshly: "You are an eagle's claw, and you will definitely cook like a rabbit!" At this time, the arrogant Qiu Teng and Xi Bao also got up and accused Wang Meng.

When the young and energetic Fu Jian saw how everyone treated Wang Meng like this, and Fan Shi insulted him in his words, he slapped the table heavily with his hands regardless of the image of the monarch and shouted: "Fan Shi! How dare you spout blood here, shameless out of nothing, As a result, Da Qin's gentleness was swept away! Qiu Teng and Xi Bao, who flattered and acted as a petty servant, compared to Fan Shipeng as a traitor! What's the use of keeping you!"

Seeing that Fu Jian was furious, everyone knelt down on the ground.

Fu Jian said to himself: "It is necessary to kill everyone as an example, otherwise there will be people who will stop what I and the prince are doing in the future." So he said loudly: "Come here, drag Fan Shi out of the door and behead him! Teng Xibao will be punished with [-] lashes and demoted to common people!"

As soon as these words came out, all civil and military officials were shocked, Fan Shixi, Bao Qiuteng was even more shocked.They never thought that Fu Jian, who was always gentle and elegant, would behead ministers like Fu Sheng, so they all kowtowed for mercy.But Fu Jian turned his face away.

At this time, several soldiers came from both sides of the main hall and dragged the three out.The other ministers also knew that Fu Jian loved and trusted Wang Meng to such an extent, they said to themselves: "Remember not to offend Wang Meng in the future."

Quan Yi, who knew Fu Jian's character, was afraid that the officials would confuse him with Fu Sheng because of this matter, so he went out to salute and said: "The king of heaven is grand and magnanimous, which is the style of the Han ancestors. But today's slow and easy words, It should be removed."

Fu Jian also knew that he had been disrespectful just now, so he smiled and said: "I have spoken inappropriately in a fit of anger, please forgive me."

Seeing that he was as approachable as usual, the ministers were relieved and saluted in unison: "Heavenly King Shengming!"

After the banquet, the officials withdrew.But Fu Jian left Wang Meng alone.

Wang Meng didn't wait for Fu Jian to speak, he saluted first and said, "The Heavenly King is wise, thank you, the Heavenly King."

Fu Jian said: "Although the ministers of the DPRK and China will act in a restrained manner in the future," he didn't finish.

Wang Meng immediately said: "The clan that the Heavenly King refers to?"

Fu Jian nodded and said: "They are all relatives of the emperor, and I am afraid that they will cause trouble. But I don't want to drive them all to death."

Wang Meng said with a smile: "It's not difficult, just kill one person."

Fu Jian was overjoyed and said: "It's very good, I will immediately seal the record of the Minister's affairs."

But Wang Meng immediately shook his head and said, "Heavenly King is not allowed. When Emperor Zhaodi of the Han Dynasty was first established, General Huo Guang took this position. This is the position of a powerful minister and a high-ranking leader, so Wang Meng absolutely dare not accept it."

Wang Mengyue was like this, and Fu Jian had great trust in him.Therefore, Fu Jian said with a smile: "In this case, how about Feng Qing Shang Shuling?"

Wang Meng saluted and thanked him.Then, he said: "I implore the king of heaven to allow me to take up the post of Jingzhao Yin."

Fu Jian asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Wang Meng replied: "A small chaos in the capital will lead to great chaos in the world, and a great peace in the capital will lead to peace in the world. The heavenly king is kind and cannot bear to kill the clan indiscriminately. Why don't we take Qiangde, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Qiang, as an example, and take the relatives of the Zhen clan."

Fu Jian nodded and said, "I've heard for a long time that this man was drunk and murdered the common people. Because he is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, no one dares to take care of him. So the prince will be in trouble."

Wang Meng saluted and thanked En and withdrew.

Fu Jian returned to Fengqi Palace and saw Zhang Muxie playing with the princess Fu Bao in his arms, so he walked up to the mother and daughter with a smile on his face and said softly, "Choose a good son-in-law for Bao'er today."

Zhang Muchai raised his head and asked, "Who is it?"

Fu Jian replied: "Yang An's son Yang Ding."

Zhang Muchai nodded with a smile and said: "The person the King of Heaven is looking for must be very good. It's just that I'm impatient, the two of you are still young." She hadn't finished speaking.

Fu Jian said: "Bao'er is the jewel in the palm of the widow, and he should be given the most precious treasure in the world."

Seeing that Fu Jian doted on the princess so much, Zhang Muchai smiled gratifiedly.

The next day, Fu Jian announced Wang Meng's appointment on the Golden Palace, and none of the officials dared to raise any objections.After the dynasty disbanded, everyone wanted to curry favor with Wang Meng, but there was no trace of him.

It turned out that Wang Meng had hurried out of the palace and brought people to kill Qiangde on the spot when he did something illegal.At the same time, Qiangde, who didn't know that the disaster of killing himself was already imminent, still drank heavily in the mansion first, and then took a few family servants of the mansion to wander in the street.

Suddenly, an old man carrying firewood accidentally touched Qiangde, which made the old man apologize repeatedly.But Qiang De turned a deaf ear to it, grabbed the old man's collar and threw it hard, throwing him to the ground.Then, a few servants behind Qiangde walked over aggressively, punching and kicking the old man.But the onlookers didn't dare to accuse Qiang De of being lawless, they just stood aside silently.

At this moment, Wang Meng rushed here with a hundred elite soldiers after hearing the news.Seeing this, Wang Meng couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Qiangde has the audacity to despise the law and discipline, come here and beat him to death with a stick!"

Although Qiang De was a little scared, he pretended to be calm and said: "How dare you!"

Wang Meng didn't speak, just waved lightly, and a hundred elite soldiers behind him surrounded Qiang De.

At this time, one of Qiangde's servants sneaked away to report to the government when he saw this.And when Qiang De, who is used to everyone treating him with respect and respect, faced the stern and selfless Wang Meng, he did not have the arrogance of the past, so he backed away in fright and said, "You don't want to hurt me!"

But the hundred elite soldiers ignored him at all, four of them pressed him to the ground, and the others beat Qiangde with sticks in their hands.The pampered Qiangde was so heartbroken that he wailed endlessly.But the people onlookers all applauded and applauded.

At the same time, Mrs. Zhou, Qiangde's original partner, who received the report from the servant, turned pale with shock after hearing this.She hurriedly asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and enter the palace, begging to see Fu Jian.

Fu Jian, who was reviewing the memorials in the Taiji Hall, saw a group of people coming into the hall, saluted and said, "I am asking the king, the wife of Mr. Qiang, to see me."

Fu Jian deliberately said: "Order him to wait outside the hall."

The palace people said that they were going to salute and told Mrs. Zhou. The anxious Mrs. Zhou clasped her hands and looked at the Tai Chi Hall eagerly.

After a stick of incense, a palace servant walked out of the palace, came to Mrs. Zhou and saluted, "Madam, the Heavenly King has a decree to invite her to see you." Mrs. Zhou hurried into the palace, bowed and said, "I will report to the Heavenly King, Lord Wang Meng doesn't know Why, detain your husband, and ask the heavenly king to enlighten you."

Fu Jian pretended to be surprised and said, "There is such a thing?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "This matter is absolutely true."

Fu Jian said: "Since this is the case, I will immediately issue an edict ordering Mr. Wang Mengqiang to enter the palace to confront him." Then he wrote an edict and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

Madam Zhou, holding the imperial decree in both hands as if grasping at a straw, thanked Fu Jian and hurried out of the hall.But Fu Jian couldn't help smiling slightly.

When Mrs. Zhou rushed to the place where the incident happened, she saw that her husband, Qiangde, had died of anger and died in the market.She cried and ran to Qiangde's corpse, and saw that his body was beaten with a stick, so she ran to Wang Meng angrily, regardless of whether he was a man or a woman, and grabbed him and shouted: "Meet the king of heaven with me immediately!"

Wang Meng waved his hand and said, "Please!"

After the two entered the palace, Wang Meng and Fu Jian had not yet spoken.Mrs. Zhou cried out immediately: "Even if my husband has done something wrong, it should be handed over to the king of heaven. But this Wang Meng couldn't help but beat him to death in the street. I also asked the king of heaven to be the master, and immediately executed Wang Meng to avenge my husband. !"

Wang Meng on the side said to Mrs. Zhou: "The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty have never mentioned that the royal family and nobles can be merciful outside the law, and let them do whatever they want!"

Madam Zhou's eyes widened after hearing this, she pointed at Wang Meng and said, "You!" Then she turned around and looked at Fu Jian and said, "Heavenly King, is this matter so unresolved!"

Fu Jian frowned slightly, then looked at Wang Meng and said, "Aiqing is impatient, and his salary will be fined for one year. In addition, I will order Yushi Zhongcheng Deng Qiang to help you manage Chang'an."

Wang Meng saluted and said yes.

Mrs. Zhou was furious when she saw that Fu Jian had done so hastily.But since this is the imperial palace and she is alone, she doesn't say much.

Fu Jian said: "If nothing else, step down."

Wang Meng and Mrs. Zhou bowed to leave.But after leaving the gate of the palace, Mrs. Zhou said to Wang Meng with fierce eyes: "I will pay you back several times what happened today!" Then she turned and left.But Wang Meng smiled disapprovingly and contemptuously.

After returning to the mansion, Mrs. Zhou finished taking care of Qiangde's funeral, and left alone to find Fu Teng, the Duke of Runan in Pengcheng.

Fu Teng was very surprised to see his aunt in filial piety, and asked, "Aunt, who is going west?"

Mrs. Zhou cried and said, "It was your uncle who was beaten to death by Wang Meng!"

Fu Teng said angrily: "Fu Jian actually let this matter go!"

Mrs. Zhou said aggrievedly: "Teng'er, you are the heir of the late emperor, and you should be the one who was enthroned as the great treasure. How could he be Fu Jian? Teng'er should take back Qin and avenge your uncle!"

The furious Fu Teng gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, this revenge will be avenged. It's a pity that we are weak now, so it is not appropriate to send troops to Chang'an rashly. I ask Auntie to stay here. When my army is strong, I will attack Fu Jian!"

Madam Zhou nodded.

At the same time, Wang Meng and Deng Qiang, who were in Chang'an, worked together to thoroughly investigate the officials and officials who caused civil disorder and government affairs, and they did not hesitate to do so.In an instant, nearly 20 of the lawless dignitaries were eradicated.So, for a while, all the bureaucrats in Chang'an were shocked, Hao You held his breath, and did not pick up the lost things on the way.

After hearing the report of the two, Fu Jian couldn't help sighing: "To this day, only a few people know that there is law in the world, and the monarch is honorable!"

Then, Wang Meng saluted and said: "Although Chang'an is well governed now, there are still many places in the Qin State that are not under control. A number of capable officials should be selected to inspect the Quartet and its Rongyi lands, and investigate whether the governors have improper punishment and abused the people. Bad deeds, rectify local institutions at all levels."

Fu Jian asked: "Who does Ai Qing think can take up this position?"

Wang Meng replied: "Yangping Duke Fu Rong, Zhu Tong, Ren Qun and others are worthy of this position."

Fu Jian said: "Although Fu Rong was born intelligent, some people say that he is arrogant and condescending. Zhu Tong and others are all from a poor family, so I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Wang Meng said: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will urge it. If the behavior is higher than that of people, the crowd will criticize it."

Fu Jian nodded with a smile and said, "According to Aiqing's words."
