Former Qin Fengyun

Chapter 22 The Rebellion of the Five Dukes [5]

When Fu Jian and others returned to Chang'an, they hosted a banquet for all the heroes in the Tai Chi Hall.During the banquet, other people exchanged cups and cups, but Fu You was the only one who was unhappy.

At this time, Wang Meng saluted with both hands and said: "The heavenly king is benevolent and loving, it is a great fortune in the world. Why don't you take this opportunity to governor Zhuhu to reassure the people?"

Li Wei, who understood it, immediately got up and saluted and said, "I also agree."

Fu Jian saw that the two important ministers whom he trusted most also agreed with this matter, so he nodded and said: "What you said is true, and it will be done in five days."

Li Wei added: "In order to protect the safety of the Heavenly King, it is reasonable to bring more soldiers to prepare for emergencies."

Fu Jian nodded.On the side, Wang Meng smiled and glanced at Li Wei.

After hearing the conversation, Fu You, who had kept his head down all the time, raised his head first, and then fell silent in thought.After a long time, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help smiling, but quickly took it back.

But all this did not escape the eyes of Wang Meng and Li Wei, they looked at each other, smiled without saying a word.

The next day, Fu You left Chang'an and returned to Xingcheng. He ordered someone to grind ink, wrote two letters with his own hand, and asked his two confidantes to send the letters to Fu Liu, the Duke of Jin in Puban, and Fu Shuang, the Duke of Zhao, in Shanggu. .Inform them that Fu Jian will leave Chang'an in four days.At that time, Chang'an will be empty, but the three parties will rise up to occupy Chang'an and regain the throne.

At the same time, Fu You also mobilized food and grass from the surrounding counties, so that all the soldiers in his hands could recharge their batteries and prepare for a big fight.

Four days later, Fu Jian led five thousand cavalry to the gate of Chang'an.Prince Fu Hong, Wang Meng, Li Wei and important court officials were all waiting here.

Li Wei took out a glass of fine wine from the tray in the hand of the maid at the side and handed it to Fu Jian, and took another glass of wine himself and said, "I hope the King of Heaven will have a smooth journey here."

Wang Meng also took out a glass of fine wine from the tray in the hands of the maid beside him, and said, "I would like to take the Xiongnu as an example, many foreign races seek refuge in Qin!"

Fu Jian said with a smile: "Then rule the world!"

All three laughed and drank the wine in their cups.Then Fu Jian said to the two: "The crown prince is young, and I still need to trouble Ai Qing for everything."

Li Wei and Wang Meng bowed together and said: "I obey the order."

Prince Fu Hong took Fu Jian's hand and said reluctantly, "I wonder when father will return?"

Although Fu Jian didn't like Empress Gou, Fu Hong was his own flesh and blood after all, so he said softly, "I will return within ten days. Although Hong'er is the crown prince, he should not act recklessly. He must listen to Li Gongwang's advice in everything." Word."

Prince Fu Hong nodded and said: "My son obeys the order, please rest assured my father."

Fu Jian nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and mounted his horse to lead the cavalry away from Chang'an in a mighty manner.

Li Wei asked Wang Meng in a low voice, "Is everything ready?"

Wang Meng replied: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."

Li Wei nodded and said: "Heavenly kings are benevolent and filial, only we can get rid of them."

Wang Meng said: "If you fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside. This matter must be done."

Li Wei said in agreement: "The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes of the ashes, and Qin can be powerful and unify the world."

At this time, Fu You in Xingcheng was both happy and angry.He was happy that Fu Jian really left Chang'an, but angry that no one from Fu Liu and Fu Shuang came.Somewhat annoyed, he said to himself: "Being so timid! That's fine, if I monopolize Chang'an, I will be the king!"

Then, he walked out of the mansion and said loudly to the soldiers who were ready to go: "Fu Jian is not the heir of the late emperor, what face is there to sit firmly on the dragon chair! Today, we will do justice for the sky, and get rid of it quickly!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Kill Fu Jian!"

When Fu You and others left Xingcheng and drove towards Chang'an at a high speed.Less than five miles away from Chang'an, I suddenly found dozens of farmers walking towards me pushing ten farm carts full of grain wrapped in cloth bags.

When Fu You saw it, he was overjoyed and said to himself: "We will attack Chang'an, and we will know when we can break through. So how can we let go of the food and grass delivered to the door!" So he gave an order: "Come on, take the Get ten carts of food!"

The soldiers nodded in agreement, and then rushed towards the group of people with their weapons in hand.Seeing such ferocious people, they immediately scattered and fled in fright.Fu You said with satisfaction: "Go ahead!"

When they came to Chang'an, they found that the city gate was closed and the suspension bridge was hanging high.Fu You laughed and said, "You coward!" Then he turned around and said to the soldiers, "Whoever invades Chang'an will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! Whoever kills a prince will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Whoever kills Prince Fu Hong will be rewarded with a bounty." Thousand taels!"

Under the great reward, there must be a brave man. Faced with such a huge temptation, everyone is gearing up and ready to go.Fu You pulled out the sword in his waist and shouted loudly: "Come on!" All the soldiers rushed towards Chang'an like the tide.

Wang Meng in the city calmly ordered: "Smash!"

Countless boulders were thrown from the city, but what is puzzling is that all of these boulders fell on the ten grain carts.When everyone was puzzled, they suddenly discovered that liquid was flowing out of the ten grain trucks and it was all over the ground.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be oil.

Fu You, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't help saying to himself: "It's weird! Why is it oil?"

At this moment, ten thousand carved feather arrows with fire were shot from the city.All of a sudden, a raging fire broke out on the ground.Facing the blazing fire, Fu You was at a loss for what to do.

At the same time, Li Wei led [-] elite soldiers from the city to rush out of the city and surrounded Fu You and others.Li Wei shouted loudly to the soldiers behind Fu You: "Fu You's rebellion is a dead end. If you surrender your arms and surrender, you will be able to guarantee that the past will never be blamed!"

When the soldiers heard this, all except a few soldiers put their weapons on the ground and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Like a frightened bird, Fu You waved the sword with his hand and shouted: "Don't surrender! Don't surrender!"

Li Wei, who was sitting on the horse, got off his horse and walked quickly to Fu You. He couldn't help saying that he raised the knife and dropped it, and Fu You fell to the ground and died.Everyone present was shocked.Because they all thought that Li Wei would capture Fu You alive and hand it over to the Heavenly King.After all, he is the heir of the royal family, how can he do this?

Li Wei, who saw what everyone was thinking, shouted loudly: "If the king of heaven hadn't beheaded Fu Sheng, the king of Yue, Qin would have ceased to exist!" , How can he take on the important task? Since ancient times, the capable have lived there. Yu can succeed, let alone the king of heaven!"

All the soldiers present raised their arms and shouted: "Long live the Heavenly King! Long live the Heavenly King!"

Wang Meng, standing on the top of the city, smiled when he saw this scene.

Fu Jian, who learned of Fu You's rebellion, immediately returned to Chang'an with his troops, and said to Wang Meng and Li Wei: "Thank you, my love, and deal with it in time. Otherwise, Qin will be in great trouble."

Wang Meng saluted and said, "Heavenly King, why does Fu You dare to attack Chang'an with less than [-] troops in his hands? The other four princes must not be left behind!"

Li Wei also saluted and said: "What the prince said is very true. If you are not here at this time, I am afraid that the four princes will unite in the future and shake the Great Qin Dynasty. I implore the king of heaven to think twice."

But Fu Jian shook his head and said: "The four princes are all brothers and sisters. Fu You has been beheaded, and he is expected to be deterred and dare not act recklessly. Besides, the four princes have military power in their hands. If swords and soldiers meet, it must be Yan Jin." I will definitely reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Wang Meng and Li Wei met each other's eyes, although they did not speak, they knew it well.

After learning that Fu You had been killed, Fu Liu and Fu Shuang had trouble sleeping and eating all day long.Because both Fu Teng and Fu You had been executed, it seemed that Fu Jian had already killed the emperor in order to preserve the throne, and at the same time, he regretted that he wanted the mantis to catch the cicada and the oriole for his own selfish desire, so that he could become emperor smoothly.Now it seems that if we don't work together, it will be difficult to achieve great things.So, they secretly contacted Wei Gong Fu Shou and Yan Gong Fu Wu.

On this day, Duke Fu Wu of Yan, who was in An Ding, heard a report from his subordinates that Duke Fu Liu of Jin begged to see him, so he hurriedly stood up to greet him.After the two exchanged pleasantries, Fu Wu saw that Fu Liu seemed to have something to hide, so he said to his servants, "Let's all go down."

The servants saluted and said yes to go down.

At this time, Fu Liu said to Fu Wu: "Two brothers of the Fu family have died tragically at the hands of Fu Jian. Should I just sit and wait for death? The position of the monarch of Qin should be taken by my brothers. How can it be Fu Jian's turn?" ? Now the three princes want to unite against the strong, don’t you know?” He didn’t continue.

Fu Wu, who was aggressive by nature, slapped the table and said, "Reverse!"

Seeing this, Fu Liu said happily: "Brothers work together to break gold!"

At the same time, Fu Shou, who was in Shancheng, after hearing what Zhao Gong and Fu Shuang said, his expression changed drastically and he said: "Wang Meng and Li Wei are excellent, and there are not a few generals under Fu Jian who are good at fighting. This matter may not be possible." .Not as good as." He didn't finish.

Fu Shuang narrowed his eyes and said sharply: "This matter is on the line. If you lose, can Fu Jian let you go?"

Fu Shou bowed his head and remained silent.

Fu Shuang patted his shoulder lightly and said: "When Fu Jian beheaded Fu Sheng, he fought his last battle. If it wasn't like this, how could there be Nine Five Supremes today?"

After thinking for a while, Fu Shou raised his head and said, "Okay."

In this way, a potentially big crisis emerged quietly.Its influence on Qin is so great that it is difficult to express it in words.As Wang Meng said, this is a test of life and death.If the military power in the hands of the monarch cannot be concentrated, how can we talk about the great cause of unifying the world?When Qin State was undergoing fission, so was Yan State.
