Former Qin Fengyun

The next day, because it was Wang Meng's birthday, Fu Jian entertained Wang Meng and invited Li Wei to accompany him in the palace.

During the banquet, Fu Jian raised his glass to Wang Meng and said: "For a long time, the prince has devoted himself to Qin, so that he can be prosperous like the sun today, so I wish you good health and longevity."

Wang Meng immediately raised his glasses with both hands and said: "The Heavenly King praises you, my minister." He didn't finish speaking.

Li Wei on the side raised his glass and said: "My lord, don't be self-effacing. I also wish the lord Guihe Xialing Qiao Song's birthday."

Wang Meng said with a smile: "Thank you Heavenly King, thank you General."

Then the three of them drank in one gulp.

Wang Meng said with emotion: "Time flies, and people grow old. But seeing the prosperity of the Qin State and the people's peace, I have no regrets."

Fu Jian nodded and said, "It's like yesterday when the princes severely punished bullies and rectified the capital."

Wang Meng smiled slightly.

At this time, Li Wei suddenly remembered the matter of Mrs. Zhou's death, and said: "Yesterday, Mr. Zhou came to the mansion to inform his sister that his sister died of illness. Duke Runan is willing to escort her back to Beijing for burial."

The kind Fu Jian immediately said: "Qiangde has passed away, causing him to live in another country. This is because the widow did not take good care of him. In this case, the Duke of Runan must have done his filial piety before his bed. Therefore, it is reasonable to send someone to welcome him and reward the Duke of Runan." of benevolence and filial piety."

But the thoughtful Wang Meng saluted Fu Jian and said, "Heavenly King, in my opinion, this matter is by no means so simple!"

Both Fu Jian and Li Wei looked at him suspiciously.

Wang Meng continued: "At the beginning, if it wasn't for the kindness of the king of heaven, Mrs. Zhou should have been escorted back to Beijing and punished. Therefore, although Duke Runan kept her in Pengcheng, she never let her show up in public. Now she openly wants to personally escort her back to Beijing. I'm afraid there may be fraud! "

Hearing this, Li Wei gasped in fright, got up from his seat, knelt down in front of Fu Jian and saluted, saying: "The king of heaven please surrender the crime of dereliction of duty."

Fu Jian hurriedly said: "Uncle, please hurry up." Then he said to Wang Meng: "My lord, is there really going to be such a thing?"

Wang Meng replied solemnly: "Mr. Runan is the younger brother of the late emperor's heir to the king of Yue, so we must guard against it!"

Although Fu Jian felt that the words were reasonable, he still said with a little affection: "But it is in the name of escorting the coffin, and there is no excuse to stop it. Besides, if we treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, wouldn't it be "He hasn't finished yet.

Wang Meng said with a smile: "Since that's the case, you will know once you try it."

Two days later, on the main road to Chang'an, a team of nearly [-] people came from a distance.Although everyone is wearing white clothes and holding paper money and throwing it to the sky from time to time, you can see bursts of murderous intent from their brows.

In the middle of the team is a coffin with the word Shuangshou, which is being carried by eight people.And there were two people at the front of the line, and an old man with white hair and beard sitting immediately on the right was Mr. Zhou.On the left sits a strong, tall and mighty man in his prime. He is Fu Teng.

At this time, Fu Teng chewed blood through his gums and had a deep hatred, wishing to eat human flesh and blood to relieve his hatred.Mr. Zhou at the side had a panoramic view of everything, but he didn't say a word.He knew very well that this battle would be more dangerous than good, but he still had a slight chance of winning.If the heavens bless the state of Qin to return to the orthodox state, and avenge my sister, I will not be in vain for sleeping in the open and wading through mountains and rivers like this.

At this moment, nearly [-] unknown men in black, masked and holding weapons suddenly rushed out of the small woods on both sides of the road.The leader was a middle-aged man in black.

Fu Teng, who had never seen such a scene before, cried out in fright: "Who are you waiting for?"

But the man in black did not reply.

Seeing this, Fu Teng said again: "When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Why don't you give me a thousand taels of silver?" He didn't finish.Old Mr. Zhou at the side sighed and said, "Wang Meng, I have underestimated you!"

Fu Teng looked at Mr. Zhou in puzzlement.Mr. Zhou pointed to the nearly [-] men in black in front of him, and said, "With Li Wei's intelligence, even if he knew we were doing something, how could he think of using this method to save Fu Jian!"

After Fu Teng heard this, his face turned pale with shock.

The leader of the man in black smiled and said: "As expected of the man who was the emperor's teacher!" After speaking, he drew out the sword at his waist and led the crowd towards Fu Teng.

Because Fu Teng's soldiers are all young and strong farmers without any battlefield experience, how can they be the opponents of the soldiers who have experienced the battlefield.After a stick of incense, people under Fu Teng's subordinates were either killed or injured, and nearly 4000 people knelt down and surrendered.The frightened Fu Teng held the sword in both hands, and said repeatedly to the countless men in black in front of him, "Don't come here! Don't come here!"

At this time, the leading man in black walked up to him and laughed, "If you don't kneel down and beg for mercy, when will you wait?"

Fu Teng looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "Since you are appointed by the imperial court, you know who I am!"

But the man in black looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Since you have rebelled, you are a sinner of Qin!"

Fu Teng swallowed nervously, and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.

The man in black said softly: "Catch the living."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of men in black surrounded Fu Teng.At this time, a man in black walked up to the leading man in black, bowed and said, "That old Mr. Zhou has been standing in front of the coffin. He was once an official and teacher of the emperor, and his subordinates dare not act rashly."

The leading man in black nodded, then walked to the coffin.I saw that Mr. Zhou was as stable as Mount Tai, majestic and motionless.The man in black still spoke up.But Mr. Zhou said first: "I would like to go back to Beijing with you to plead guilty, but can she be buried here?"

The man in black understood his intentions, if not, Mrs. Zhou would have been murdered in the wilderness, and there was even a possibility of flogging her corpse.But if Mr. Zhou stays here, he can die happily, but it is especially clear what kind of punishment the president will suffer after he is safe.Therefore, the man in black couldn't help being moved by such a brother-sister relationship, so he nodded and said, "Come here, bury the coffin here."

More than a dozen men in black took local materials and placed the coffin in a low-lying place.Old Mr. Zhou walked to the coffin with heavy steps, stroked the coffin gently with his hands, and then left with a sigh.So the men in black buried him.

Mr. Zhou walked up to the leader of the man in black and said, "Now that the overall situation has been settled, can I let the old man see the real face?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand to take off the black veil, revealing a handsome face like Wen Yu.Mr. Zhou smiled slightly and said, "So it's General Yang."

Yang An was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

At this moment, several men in black escorted Fu Teng to see Yang An.Unexpectedly, when Fu Teng saw Yang An, he yelled: "Yang An, my father treats you well, but you help the emperor to protect Fu Jian! It's no wonder, your son is engaged to Fu Jian's daughter, you" He hasn't finished yet.

Yang An, who became angry from embarrassment, said sharply: "Take these two people back to Chang'an!"

In Chang'an, Fu Jian, who was playing chess with Wang Meng in the imperial garden, suddenly saw the palace people walking over in a hurry, saluted and said, "I want to report to the Heavenly King, General Yang has escorted Duke Runan and Mr. Zhou back to Beijing. Wait, see the king of heaven."

The chess piece in Fu Jian's hand fell on the chessboard, and he said with a frowning face, "Your Majesty really knows things like a god."

Knowing what he was thinking, Wang Meng said, "Heavenly King" he hasn't finished yet.

Fu Jian looked up at Wang Meng and asked, "Could it be that the widow didn't take good care of Qin? Why did you treat the widow like this?"

Wang Meng said distressedly: "The emperor's family has been ruthless since ancient times. For the sake of imperial power, you can completely disregard ethics and family affection, let alone talk about morality and righteousness? Heavenly King, this person must not be kept, lest there will be endless troubles in the future."

Fu Jian remained silent, but nodded slightly.

In the front hall of Taiji, both Fu Jian and Wang Meng sat upright.Fu Teng and Mr. Zhou walked up to the hall under the escort of Yang An.But the two stood without kneeling.Fu Jian said nothing.

Yang An saluted and said: "Sign up to the king of heaven, Duke Runan privately recruited more than [-] soldiers and disguised himself to go to Beijing to plot wrongdoings." He hadn't finished speaking.

But Fu Teng cursed loudly: "Fu Jian, you are not the heir of the late emperor, why would you have the face to sit on the dragon chair? You" he hadn't finished speaking.Wang Meng, who was burning with anger, walked up to him quickly, raised his hand and slapped him.Fu Teng didn't expect that Wang Meng would hit him, so he covered his face with one hand, pointed at Wang Meng with the other and shouted: "You dare to hit me!"

Wang Meng looked directly at him and said: "If Qin was handed over to you, it would have been annexed by other countries long ago, and the whole country would be slaves of others!"

Mr. Zhou on the side lowered his head silently.But Fu Teng shouted disapprovingly: "I am the heir of the former emperor, the son of the real dragon, and I am protected by the gods!"

Wang Meng ignored him, turned around and saluted Fu Jian and said, "Heavenly King!"

Fu Jian looked at Fu Teng who was yelling in front of him, frowned slightly, and then waved his hand.Two soldiers dragged Fu Teng, who was baring his teeth and claws, out.Fu Teng shouted in fear: "Fu Jian! How dare you kill me! You are worthy of the late emperor! Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Fu family?"

Fu Jian turned his head to the side, although he was speaking, but from his expression, he could see that he was in a dilemma.

At this time, Mr. Zhou looked at Fu Jian and said, "Cooking the beans burns the Osmunda japonica, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so there is no need to fry them together." Then he said to the soldiers who had been standing by the hall for a long time: "We let's go."

Looking at Mr. Zhou's back, Fu Jian couldn't help but shed tears.But Wang Meng, who was beside him, saluted again and said, "Heavenly King, Huainan Gong Fu You, Jin Gong Fu Liu, Zhao Gong Fu Shuang, Wei Gong Fu Shou, Yan Gong Fu Wu, these five princes must not be kept! A catastrophe may happen!"

But Fu Jian raised his head, and said with moist eyes: "Today, the widow has executed a family member of the Fu family to serve as an example to others. Besides, Wu Gong has the military power, so how easy is it to talk lightly? The state of Qin has not been prosperous for a long time, and it is not appropriate to happen at this time. Disaster and chaos, fearing that other countries will attack."

Although Wang Meng knew that these were Fu Jian's excuses for not wanting to kill Wu Gong, he still said unwillingly: "Heavenly King" he hadn't finished.

Fu Jian got up from his seat and left the hall.

Wang Meng sighed helplessly and shook his head.

When Fu Jian returned to Fengqi Palace, he saw Zhang Muxie playing with Fu Bao and Fu Jin, a smile appeared on his face.When Fu Bao and Fu Jin saw Fu Jian, they happily ran to his side and raised their faces and called sweetly: "Father!"

Fu Jian leaned down, touched the small faces of the two with both hands and said in relief, "You are so good!"

Zhang Muyi, who knew Fu Jian's heart well, knew that something big had happened when he saw him like this.So, she said to the two princesses: "Bao'er, Jin'er, father is tired, you go out and play."

The two princesses saluted obediently and said: "Yes." Then they walked out of the hall hand in hand.

Zhang Muzhen said to the palace people again: "Everyone step down."

The palace people saluted and left.

Afterwards, Zhang Muchai came to Fu Jian and asked, "What happened to make the King of Heaven worry about you?"

Fu Jian said sadly to himself, "Today, I will execute Fu Teng."

Zhang Muchai said in surprise, "He really rebelled?"

Fu Jian took Zhang Muyi's hand and said, "Muyi, I regret taking over Qin. If Fusheng had been executed and returned to the fields, why did you have to kill people? You don't have to worry about childlessness. Our family of four died at sunrise. To work, and to rest at the end of the day. To dig wells to drink, to plow fields to eat. What does imperial power mean to me?"

Why did Zhang Muxi not want to live in such a peaceful and peaceful way, but now that things are up to now, he can only move forward.So, she comforted Fu Jian and said: "Since you are destined, you should know your fate. The dust in the East China Sea will rise for a moment, and I will never leave you."

Fu Jian, who was quite moved, took him into his arms and said softly: "If you hold my hand, what can I ask for?"

The two hugged each other tightly like this, although they were speechless, they kept everything in silence.
