Former Qin Fengyun

In Yecheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom, a large banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the victory of the Yan army and return to the court.

During the banquet, the little emperor Murong Yan raised his glass with both hands and said with a smile to Murong Ke: "The emperor is brave and invincible in the world, so I respect him."

Murong Ke hurriedly raised his glass with both hands, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am ashamed and dare not take it. But this attack on Qin, the king of Wu has contributed a lot."

The little emperor Murong Xiao nodded.

Murong Ke also said: "Wu Wang's generals are ten times more talented than my ministers. The first emperor replaced the elders with the ministers. After the minister's death, I hope that your majesty will appoint the King of Wu. It can be said that both relatives and virtuous people will be honored."

Shangyong King Murong Ping and Empress Dowager Kezuhun who were sitting on the side immediately looked at each other, and then Empress Dowager Kezuhun said with a smile: "This statement is very reasonable, but the third brother is in good health, so it may be unlucky to say such a thing. Come, drink."

Everyone continued to drink, only Murong Ping was holding the wine glass firmly with his hands, and his eyes were fierce.

An hour later, the officials dispersed, but Murong Ping did not leave.After Queen Mother Ke Zuhun asked the palace servants to retreat, she said anxiously: "Fourth brother, what should I do?"

Murong Ping said grimly: "The tree falls and the monkeys scatter!"

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun tried to ask: "What does the fourth brother mean, after Ke dies, to squeeze him out?"

Murong Ping nodded.

But the Empress Dowager Zuhun said in embarrassment: "Murong Ke will grow old and strong. When he dies, I am afraid that he will already have full wings and will not be controlled by you and me?"

Murong Ping asked: "I don't know if the emperor's wife knows why Zhuge Kongming of the Shu Han died?"

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun replied: "I am sick from overwork." Then she suddenly said with a bright eye: "In this way, Murong Ke will not only die quickly, but also can only be recorded in the history books in the future. Yan Guo firmly believes in Taiyuan King Murong Ke, so Jian Neng has been appointed to the commission and faced hardships, and although he has traveled to the immortals, he has passed down his fragrance to the world."

Murong Ping smiled smugly.

There is always such a kind of person in the world, although he has no talent, he always wants to hold power in his hands.As far as the country is concerned, it is most afraid of encountering this kind of person.Therefore, the Yan State perished, and these two men had an inescapable responsibility.

Three months later, Taiyuan Wang Murongke, who was sick from overwork, fell ill again due to an occasional cold.Although famous doctors have been invited, there is no improvement.

On this day, Murong Zang, king of Le'an, came to visit Murong Ke.Murong Zang saluted and said, "Nephew has seen Uncle Three Emperors." Murong Ke nodded.Then Murong Zang opened an exquisite wooden box he brought, pointed to a thousand-year-old ginseng inside and said: "Uncle Sanhuang will heal if he takes it."

Murong Ke smiled wryly, and said, "Zang'er is interested, come and sit down."

Murong Zang saluted and thanked him and sat down.

Murong Ke looked at Murong Zang and said: "The Qin and Jin countries are staring at our country of Yan, and I am dying of illness, and I am afraid it will not be long. However, the king of Wu is a talented man, and his management is a little overdue. Sima is in charge of military power, and we must not lose people. I will die After that, you must teach it. If you don’t teach it according to the order of intimacy, you can also teach it. Although you are talented and sensitive, you have not endured many difficulties. The safety of the country is really here. Don’t be ignorant of your interests and forget your worries, so that you will regret it greatly. also."

Murong Zang nodded and said: "Please don't worry, Uncle Sanhuang, my nephew will definitely keep it in mind."

Murong Ke then smiled reassuringly.

In the summer of 367 A.D., Murong Ke, king of Taiyuan, was critically ill.The little emperor Murong Xing, the Empress Dowager Kezuhun, the Shangyong King Murong Ping, the Wu King Murong Chui and the Le'an King Murong Zang were all beside the hospital bed.

Murong Ke looked at the little emperor, Murong Ke, who looked at the young emperor and said slowly: "I have heard that I would like to recommend a scholar. The king of Wu is both talented in civil and military affairs, and he is in charge of Xiao Zhiya. If your majesty allows him to govern, the country will be safe. Otherwise, the minister I'm afraid that the Qin and Jin bandits have plans to spy on you."

The little emperor Murong Xiao nodded.But Taiyuan Wang Murongke, whose mind was at peace, passed away with a smile.Wu Wang Murong Chui immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, but the others left the house and came to the hall.

The little emperor Murong looked up at the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and said, "Mother, when will you order the Fifth Emperor to assist the government?"

But the Empress Dowager Zuhun's face sank and said with displeasure: "How can the words of a minister be an imperial decree?"

The little emperor Murong was angry after seeing his mother, so he didn't dare to say more.

At this time, Murong Zang, King of Le'an, saluted and said, "Queen Mother, I want to recommend someone to be the Grand Sima."

The Empress Dowager Ke Zuhun and Shangyong King Murong Ping all stared at him intently.

Murong Zang continued: "Zhongshan King Murong Chong."

After listening to Murong Ping, the king of Shangyong, he said to himself: "Murong Chong, the king of Zhongshan, is only eight years old, and he can't do anything. Let him take office, and the power is still in my hands." So he saluted the Queen Mother Kezuhun and said: " Report to the Empress Dowager, my brother thinks this matter is very appropriate."

And the Empress Dowager Kezuhun also said to herself: "Right now we need to use Murong Ping to restrain Wu King Murong Chui. If the overall situation is settled in the future, both of them will be eliminated. Besides, the position of Chief Sima is already in Chong'er's hands." Therefore, She nodded.

At the same time, Murong Zang said to himself in his heart: "Uncle Three Emperors, Zang Yi has completed what you entrusted. But my nephew doesn't know the reason. Why did you give such an important position to Chong'er?"

It turned out that the far-sighted Murong Ke knew that the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and Shangyong King Murong Ping had coveted the power of the court for a long time. He expected that after his death, the two would be able to crowd out Wu Wang Murong Chui and cause chaos in the Yan Kingdom.Therefore, he first strongly recommended Wu Wang Murong Chui in front of the little emperor Murong Cheng, so that he would know that Wu Wang is a man of ability.If Empress Dowager Kezuhun and Shangyong Wang Murong Ping refused to allow Wu Wang Murong Chui to take over the post of Great Sima, let Zhongshan King Murong Chong take over.First, the Empress Dowager Kezuhun and King Murong of Shangyong agreed to this matter.Second, Zhongshan King Murong Chong was young.If the state of Yan is in trouble in the future, Murong Ping, the king of Shangyong who is not capable enough, can safely appoint Murong Chui, the king of Wu.Finally, although Zhongshan King Murong Chong is small, he has the demeanor of Lanling King.Not only beautiful and handsome, but also smart and brave.After growing up, he must be a useful talent.

But it is a pity that such a perfect plan of King Taiyuan was in vain under the interference of Queen Mother Kezuhun and Murong Ping, King Shangyong.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Qiu even.When the people of the Qin Kingdom were working hard and harvesting a good harvest, Wang Meng hurried to the General's Mansion to meet Li Wei.

Seeing Wang Meng like this, Li Wei asked curiously, "Why is the prince panicking?"

Wang Meng winked at him.Li Wei immediately understood, and ordered his servants to retreat.Then, Wang Meng said in a low voice: "According to detailed reports, five days later, it will be the birthday of Jin Gong Fu Liu. Zhao Gong Fu Shuang, Wei Gong Fu Shou, and Yan Gong Fu Wu are all in Puban. The gathering of dragons is fearful of great events." .”

Li Wei's face changed drastically when he heard this, and after a long time of contemplation, he said: "I will immediately go to the palace to meet the Heavenly King, and lied that Si Gong has rebelled, so I should deal with it immediately."

Wang Meng nodded and said: "It is expected that Sigong will not think that we will preemptively strike, and we are all in Pusan ​​at this moment, which can also reduce innocent casualties. It is just that we will deceive the king in the end, and I will go with the general."

But Li Wei said with a smile: "The Heavenly King is benevolent, and I am his uncle. If the Dongchuang incident happens, the Queen Mother will also intercede. It's okay."

After Wang Meng finished listening, he nodded in relief.

Li Wei said again: "The situation is urgent, I will enter the palace immediately. The prince can stay here and wait for the good news."

Wang Meng nodded in agreement.And Li Wei turned and left.

Fu Jian, who was reviewing the memorials in the Tai Chi Hall, saw a palace attendant coming in, saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, General Li, please see me."

As soon as Fu Jian heard that Li Wei was coming, he immediately put down his pen and said, "Please come into the hall."

The palace people saluted and said it was time to go down.

After a while, Li Wei walked into the hall, saluted and said, "Li Wei pays homage to the Heavenly King."

Fu Jian said: "Uncle please stand up. Come and give me a seat."

The palace people placed a mahogany chair beside Li Wei.Li Wei thanked him and sat down.

Fu Jian asked: "I don't know if uncle is entering the palace at this time, is there something important?"

Li Wei nodded and said: "According to the knowledge of the secret agents, Jin Gong Fu Liu invited Zhao Gong Fu Shuang, Wei Gong Fu Shou and Yan Gong Fu Wu under the guise of his birthday. They conspired against Qin in Puban."

Fu Jian was taken aback and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Li Wei nodded and said: "How can you speak nonsense about such a big matter? Heavenly King, why not take advantage of this to make this public and preemptively prevent others from being restrained later?"

But Fu Jian said in a dilemma: "It's better to call Sigong into the palace first, and then" he didn't finish.

Li Wei interrupted Fu Jian impatiently, and said: "Heavenly King, you have been raising tigers for many years, and now you are full-fledged. If you hesitate any longer, there will be chaos!"

Fu Jian said angrily, "Could it be that uncle hopes that the widow will be like King Fu Sheng of Yue, mutilating siblings!"

Seeing Fu Jian's resolute attitude, Li Wei bowed with his brows furrowed.

Li Wei, who returned to the General's Mansion, told Wang Meng about the matter completely.Wang Meng said: "General, don't blame the king of heaven, there is no gold, no gold, and no man is perfect."

But Li Wei said anxiously: "This matter is imminent, but the king of heaven is doing it like this!"

Wang Meng said: "That's fine too, if you let the Si Gong rebel, the Heavenly King will be determined to punish him."

Li Wei said helplessly: "Things have come to this, it has to be like this."

Pu Ban, when Si Gong was discussing how to plot against Fu Jian in the hall, he suddenly saw a servant walk in, saluted and said, "I have reported to Si Gong, the imperial decree has arrived."

The four men were all shocked.Then, Jin Gong Fu Liu got up and looked at the other three princes and said, "accept the order." The three princes understood that they had not yet rebelled, so the imperial edict would undoubtedly be accepted.So Fu Liu, the Duke of Jin, came to the courtyard and knelt down to receive the order.

The father-in-law opened the imperial decree and read it aloud: "Following the Heavenly King's edict, I heard that Duke Jin's birthday is approaching, and the three princes congratulated him. The brothers are very pleased. Therefore, the four princes are called into the palace to express their love. This is my honor."

After hearing this, the four men were all shocked and looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this time, the father-in-law said to them: "Please accept the imperial edict."

Duke Fu Liu of Jin regained his composure and got up to receive the order.After the father-in-law saluted the fourth father-in-law, he left.But Fu Shou, the Duke of Wei, said anxiously: "This is a Hongmen Banquet, I'm afraid we will never return!"

But Zhao Gong and Fu Shuang said doubtfully: "We haven't turned the other way, how could Fu Jian know?"

Duke Yan Fu Wu said angrily: "Wang Meng and Li Wei must have noticed something, so they recruited Chang'an on the grounds of reminiscing about the old days."

Suddenly, Fu Liu, Duke of Jin, walked to the bookshelf, picked up a wooden pear carved from pear flower wood, put it in his mouth, bit it down hard, and there were clear teeth marks on the wooden pear.Then, he took the wooden pear and walked in front of the other three princes, and said firmly: "If you violate the contract, you will be punished by heaven!"

As soon as the Sangongs saw it, they gathered around one after another, took a bite out of the pear tree, and said in unison: "If you break the contract, you will be punished by heaven!"

Duke Jin nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Now there is no way to turn back, and the only way to see the light of day is to surmount the thorns and thorns. Now everyone returns to the fiefdom, and raise the flag to oppose!"

Two days later, in the middle of the night, Fu Jian and Zhang Muzhen were already sound asleep.Suddenly, Xixue, the maid in charge, came in, bowed softly and said, "Report to Heavenly King, Duke Li has something to ask for an audience."

Fu Jian got up immediately, and Zhang Muyi put on his coat.Then, Fu Jian came to the main hall.

Li Wei, dressed in casual clothes, saluted solemnly and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, Sigong has rebelled!"

Fu Jian shook his head in surprise and said, "How could this be?"

Li Wei nodded and said: "This matter is absolutely true, please make plans early and send troops to suppress it as soon as possible."

But Fu Jian didn't speak.

Wang Meng on the side saluted and said, "Why don't you send an order from the king of heaven to persuade him to stop fighting?"

Fu Jian immediately raised his head and said, "It's very good, otherwise the Qin State will suffer a bloody disaster." Then he walked quickly to the desk and started to write.And Li Wei looked at Wang Meng in surprise.Wang Meng shook his head slightly.Li Wei remained silent.

After a while, Fu Jian came over with the written imperial decree, handed it to Wang Meng and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Wang Meng took it with both hands, bowed to Li Wei and stepped back.

Zhang Muxie came out from the side door, and said worriedly: "Si Gong has the military power in his hands, so you really want to stop here?"

Fu Jian sighed softly, and said, "I hope this is the case, otherwise Qin will be doomed and the Sigong will be killed."

At the same time, Li Wei who walked out of the hall immediately whispered to Wang Meng: "I don't know why the prince is acting like this?"

After Wang Meng looked around and saw no one around, he said softly: "First, let the Heavenly King know that compromise and forbearance are definitely not the way to calm down the matter. Second, let Si Gong mistakenly think that the Heavenly King is afraid of him, so he will be arrogant and arrogant, so he can be arrogant." Defeat."

After Li Wei listened, he said with a smile: "The prince is really Zhuge!"
