Former Qin Fengyun

In the Tai Chi Hall, Fu Jian, who was reviewing the memorials, saw Eunuch Zhang coming in, saluted and said, "I would like to report to the Heavenly King, Lord Gao, please see me."

Fu Jian said, "Xuan."

After a while, Gao Bi walked into the hall, saluted and said: "My minister Gao Bi pays homage to the king of heaven."

Fu Jian put down the imperial pen in his hand, raised his head and said, "Aiqing is flat. Come and give me a seat."

Gao Bi thanked him, saluted and sat down.

Fu Jian asked: "Is there something important for Aiqing to enter the palace?"

Gao Bi saluted and replied: "Heavenly King, I see that there is very little rain this year, and I am afraid that famine may easily occur, so we should make plans early."

Fu Jian nodded and said, "What Ai Qing said is very reasonable."

Then Gao Bi pretended to frown tightly, as if he had something on his mind that he dared not speak out.

Fu Jian smiled and said, "Ai Qing can speak freely without any scruples."

Gao Bi saluted and said: "Dai Guo has been destroyed, but I don't know why Xing Tang Gong didn't come back, which cost a lot of food and grass."

Fu Jian pretended to be indifferent and said: "The Dai Kingdom was destroyed at the beginning, so it should be stationed for a long time to avoid trouble."

However, Gao Bi, who has an insight into the world, saw Fu Jian's words raised his eyebrows slightly, so he was secretly overjoyed, but he didn't show it in the slightest. He pretended to be clear and saluted and said: "So that's the case, I misunderstood, please forgive me !"

Four days later, Duke Fu Luo of Xing Tang returned to Chang'an with his troops. He came to the Golden Palace with a smile on his face, saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, the country of Dai is dead. Although Liu Weichen and Liu Kuren disagreed, they have returned to their places and settled down in peace." Its destiny is not to cause war. Therefore, please do not favor the king of heaven."

Fu Jian said expressionlessly: "Duke Xingtang has made great achievements in this battle, so he was named the General of Conquering the South, guarding Chengdu, and took office from Xiangyang to the west along the Han River."

When Fu Luo heard this, he was taken aback.So, he raised his head and said puzzledly: "Heavenly King..." He hasn't finished yet.

Fu Jian's face sank, and he said displeasedly: "You still don't want to thank me?"

Fu Luo suppressed his anger and saluted to thank him.But Sun Bin in the palace didn't understand why Fu Jian treated meritorious ministers so harshly, but he saw that the general situation was settled, so he didn't come out to stop him.Only Gao Bi smiled without saying a word.

After the dynasty was over, Fu Luo returned to the mansion and said angrily: "Such a great achievement should make me a general and important minister, but they put me far away from the border!"

Deputy General Zhao beside him nodded and said: "The King of Heaven is very generous towards foreigners, if you just kowtow and admit your mistakes, you will get a high-ranking official and rich salary!"

At this moment, a soldier came in, saluted and said, "General, Mr. Gao Bi, please see me."

The irritable Fu Luo waved his hand and said, "No see!"

However, Vice General Zhao stopped him and said: "General, this person is Murong Chui's confidant. If he doesn't see you, I'm afraid..." Vice General Zhao did not continue.

Fu Luo yelled angrily: "I am a dignified family member, and I have fallen to this point?"

Vice General Zhao turned around and said to the soldiers: "Please meet him in the lobby."

The soldiers saluted and said yes to go down.

After seeing Fu Luo, Gao Bi hurriedly saluted and said, "Gao Bi has seen the general."

Fu Luo said with a sinking face, "Excuse me."

But Gao Bi didn't seem to have seen all this, and continued to say with a smile on his face: "General Murong has learned of the general's hard work, and I have ordered you to send some small gifts." He opened the lid of the wooden box he was carrying, and saw that it was full of rare treasures Antique calligraphy and painting.

Although Fu Luo loves money, he has not reached the level of being greedy for money and sacrificing his life, so he asked in bewilderment, "What does this mean?"

Gao Bi replied: "The general is a family member. We have nothing to rely on when we are in the Great Qin Dynasty, so I hope the general will support you a lot."

Fu Luo laughed bitterly at himself and said, "How can I support others?"

But Gao Bi said: "No. What a great crime the Wugong rebelled that day! If it weren't for the prince, how could the Heavenly King kill the foot? Besides, the Heavenly King treats Wugong's descendants generously, which shows the Heavenly King's affection for the clan."

After hearing this, Fu Luo's eyes suddenly brightened.

Gao Bi was overjoyed when he saw this, he got up and saluted and said, "It's getting late, I will take my leave."

After Fu Luo saw Gao Bi leaving, he said softly to Deputy General Zhao: "Tomorrow you will take [-] of your relatives back to Beijing, transfer to Helong the next day, and then go straight to Chang'an!"

Deputy General Zhao said worriedly: "This matter is important, there is a slight difference..." He has not finished.

Fu Luo said, "Wang Meng is dead, what are you afraid of?"

Five days later, Fu Jian, who was sitting on the top of the Golden Hall, suddenly saw the reporter hurried into the hall, saluted and said, "Report to the Heavenly King, the big thing is not good. Xing Tang Gong Fu Luo led [-] troops to rebel against Long Jubing, and claimed... ..." The reporter didn't dare to continue.

Fu Jian stood up angrily and said, "Speak!"

The reporter then continued: "Return Wang Xianyang to inherit the legacy of our ancestors. If His Majesty is the Marquis of Tongguan, he will be gracious and return the title of Donghai."

In a rage, Fu Jian slapped the table with his hands, and shouted loudly: "What a return to the East China Sea! General Yao Chang, I order you to lead one hundred thousand troops to wipe out the rebels!"

Yao Chang was overjoyed and saluted and said: "The final general will obey the order. Heavenly King, can I ask Mr. Gao Bi to escort the grain and grass, and give advice?"

Fu Jian nodded.

Then, Yao Chang and Gao Bi bowed together and said: "I will be the king of heaven to share the worries and wipe out the rebels!"

But Sun Bin, who was in the court class, kept frowning, and Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao were also unhappy.

After Yao Chang led his troops out of Chang'an, he saluted Gao Bi and said, "We still need to rely on my master's guidance for this battle."

Gao Bi returned the salute and said, "Gao will definitely do his best."

Yao Chang said again: "I don't know if Mister has a clever plan for this battle?"

Gao Bi replied: "Fu Luo is brave but not scheming, and has made great achievements in destroying the dynasty, so he will certainly take the credit and be proud of everything. However, this is a big taboo for military strategists."

Yao Chang asked tentatively, "Sir, do you attack after showing weakness?"

Gao Bi said with a smile: "The general is intelligent, unparalleled in wisdom and courage."

Yao Chang hurriedly shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Guidance, how could Yao have come up with such a clever plan? Besides, if General Murong and Mr. Yao, how could Yao be proud and lead the army?"

Seeing his humility, Gao Bi said with satisfaction: "The general is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and it is reasonable to look down upon the heroes."

Fu Luo, who was drinking, saw Vice General Zhao coming in, saluted and said, "General Qi, Fu Jian sent [-] troops to Helong."

Fu Luo put down his wine glass and asked, "Who leads the army?"

Deputy General Zhao replied: "Yao Chang is the leader of the army, and Gao Bi is the escort of the food and grass."

When Fu Luo heard this, he casually said with disdain: "Unknown junior." Then he saw that Deputy General Zhao was full of doubts, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Deputy General Zhao saluted and replied: "According to the spies' reports, the Qin army marched like a long snake and was slack and lazy. It is said that Yao Chang meets famous prostitutes at night?"

After hearing this, Fu Luo laughed loudly and said, "In this way, a big victory in this battle is like finding something out of a bag!"

However, Deputy General Zhao said: "I have heard for a long time that Gao Bi was very thoughtful, and Wang Meng's attacks on Murong Chui several times were all resolved by this person..." He didn't finish.

But Fu Luo said disdainfully: "Wang Meng and Gao Bi are both frail scholars who only know how to speak glibly, what can they do?"

Seeing his displeasure, Vice General Zhao hurriedly laughed and said, "That's natural."

When Gao Bi led the disorderly Qin army to a distance less than five miles away from Helong, he suddenly saw Fu Luo leading an army of [-] men rushing out of the jungle aggressively.

Gao Bi smiled lightly, and then ordered: "Get ready to do it!"

I saw that these originally relaxed soldiers seemed to be a different person, quickly rearranging their armor and holding their weapons tightly.

Fu Luo urged his horse to come to Gao Bi, and said arrogantly: "It's not easy for a scholar who lacks his left arm to dare to come here. If he dismounts from his horse, he will spare his life and return home."

Gao Bi replied, "Thank you, General, for your love."

Fu Luo asked again: "Where is Yao Chang now?"

But Gao Bi just smiled and said nothing.Fu Luo was puzzled, and when he was about to ask why, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, so he immediately turned around to watch it vigilantly, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Lieutenant General Zhao, who had lost his helmet and armor, ran ahead with hundreds of remnants of soldiers. Behind him were Yao Chang and [-] Qin soldiers holding high swords.Deputy General Zhao shouted as he ran: "General, something is wrong, and Helong fell, causing heavy casualties!"

Fu Luo immediately turned his head and stared at Gao Bi with wide eyes, but Gao Bi said calmly, "Yesterday General Yao Chang led [-] cavalry to rush to Helong. After you leave the city, send Helong capture."

Fu Luo asked in surprise: "Yao Chang often stays out of camp at night, just to paralyze us and think that Yao Chang will be a famous prostitute?"

Gao Bi smiled slightly.

Fu Luo turned his head to look at Vice General Zhao who was seriously injured, and then at Yao Chang who was in high spirits, then got off his horse and came to Gao Bi, knelt down speechless.

Three days later, Yao Chang and Gao Bi escorted Fu Luo to the Golden Palace.Yao Chang and Gao Bi saluted and said, "Heavenly King."

Fu Jian said with a smile: "You two dear ministers, please get up quickly. I have heard that this battle was won with a great victory and few deaths. It is really a great achievement."

Yao Chang saluted and said, "I would like to report to the king of heaven, if Gao Bi and others hadn't planned it, this battle would never have been possible."

Fu Jian nodded with a smile and said: "The widow seems to have seen the prince's demeanor back then!"

Gao Bi saluted immediately and said, "How can a humble official be as dull as a prince?"

Fu Jian said: "I love you, Mo Qian. General Yao also contributed a lot. Those who come here will be promoted to two ranks and rewarded with a hundred taels."

Gao Bi and Yao Chang smiled and saluted to thank them.But Fu Luo who was at the side said indignantly: "The king of heaven is so generous!"

Fu Jian said to him angrily: "As a clan member, how can you raise troops to rebel?"

Fu Luo sneered and said, "I would like to be Liu Gong!"

Fu Jian asked in puzzlement, "Why did you say that?"

Fu Luo replied, "Heavenly King has already killed five princes, so what's the harm in killing one more?"

After Fu Jian listened, he bowed his head and was speechless.

But Sun Bin, who was in the court class, said to himself: "Fu Luo is the descendant of the late emperor, so this person must not be kept!" So he immediately went out to salute, but he didn't speak yet.

Fu Jian raised his head and said, "There is no need to say more. Someone will untie him and send him out of Chang'an."

Although Fu Luo looked very calm on the surface, he was extremely worried in his heart whether Fu Jian would kill him.But when he heard Fu Jian's words, he couldn't help but glanced at Gao Bi, and said to himself, "It's fortunate that this person mentioned the matter of Wu Gong at the beginning, otherwise he would not escape this disaster today."

But Sun Bin saw his subtle movements clearly, and only then did Sun Bin realize that Gao Bi did all of this alone.He not only hated Gao Bi for being a despicable person, but also blamed himself for being useless and unable to prevent things from happening.

After Fu Luo was taken away, Gao Bi saluted and said, "Heavenly King, the Zhou Dynasty has gone through eight hundred years, what is the reason?"

Fu Jian looked at him puzzled.

Gao Bi continued: "Because of enfeoffing the feudal princes and restraining each other, each has his own fate."

Fu Jian nodded and said, "It makes sense."

When Sun Bin heard this, he saluted immediately and said, "Heavenly king, you can't. If there is no enfeoffment, how can there be Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and the world will be in chaos for hundreds of years? As a result, the emperor of Zhou will be displaced, and there will be no emperor's majesty!"

Gao Bi said: "That's because of the omissions of the Zhou Dynasty. If the Emperor of Zhou sent the people of the capital city to various places to work on their own, but if the emperor issued an edict, which prince would not dare to follow it?"

Before Sun Bin could refute, Fu Jian said: "This method is wonderful, come..." He didn't finish speaking.

Anxious Sun Bin knelt down and saluted and said: "Heavenly King, why did Xiang Yu fail to achieve hegemony back then, and died tragically at the hands of his old man? It was all because he did not strengthen the imperial power and wantonly divided it into feudal titles! Now that the Great Qin has not come easily, how can it be destroyed by the hands of villains!"

Gao Bi also knelt down and saluted and said, "Heavenly king, how can a humble minister be like a villain if he is devoted to sharing the country's worries?"

Murong Chui immediately went out to salute and said: "I also ask the king of heaven to resign from his official position and allow him to return to his hometown to save his life!" Liang Chen, Le Song and Yao Chang also knelt down and saluted and said: "The same is true for my ministers."

Fu Jian glared at Sun Bin, but did not speak yet.Quan Yi went out to salute and said: "Heavenly King, Master Sun Bin treats Qin with a heart, and the world can learn from it. Besides, this matter is not trivial, why not discuss it another day?"

But Gao Bi immediately said: "Since the king of heaven has doubts, I don't want to make things difficult for the king of heaven." He took off his official hat with his hands, and kowtowed three times to Fu Jian, as did Murong Chui and others.

Fu Jian, who was angry and anxious, said loudly: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. Separate 15 households of the Di tribes in Sanyuan, Jiujun, Wudu, Qian, and Yongzhong, and each clan will lead them."

Anxious Sun Bin kowtowed and said: "I implore the king of heaven to take back the order, otherwise there will be a catastrophe!"

But Fu Jian reprimanded: "If it is not because of the prince, the widow will definitely punish him severely!"

Although Deng Qiang, who is a member of the Di tribe, has no strategy, he also feels that this matter is inappropriate.And back then, Wang Meng didn't care about his crime of being rude, so he went out to salute and said: "Please think twice, Mr. Sun Bin is dedicated to the country, there is nothing wrong with it."

Lu Polou also came out to salute and said: "My minister seconded the proposal."

Fu Jian waved his sleeves angrily, stood up and said, "According to the order!" After speaking, he turned and went back to the palace.

Sun Bin shouted heartbroken: "I also ask the king of heaven to take back the order, and I am willing to learn from death!" After speaking, he got up, ran to the pillar of the palace quickly, knocked the pillar and fell to the ground.Everyone present was shocked, only Gao Bi and others laughed secretly.

Fu Jian, who was already furious with thunder, pointed at Sun Bin who had fallen to the ground, and shouted loudly: "This man is not allowed to be treated! He was buried hastily in a chaotic hill! "Historical Books" can't even mention half a word about this man! Those who give the decree will be killed!" After speaking, he left.

After Sun Bin finished listening, he vomited blood from his mouth and blurred his vision.All the old ministers of Qin State shook their heads and sighed, and left helplessly.

Gao Bi walked up to Sun Bin, bowed his hands triumphantly and said, "Let's go together, my lord!"

Sun Bin, who heard it clearly, vomited another mouthful of blood.At this time, Quan Yi, Lu Polou and Deng Qiang walked over quickly and stood in front of Sun Bin.

Deng Qiang said loudly angrily: "If you talk nonsense again, don't blame Deng Qiang for being ruthless!"

Lu Polou also said: "If you say half a word, you will die!"

Only then did Gao Bi, Murong Chui and the others leave.

Lu Polou knelt on the ground, picked up Sun Bin who was lying in a pool of blood, and said, "Don't worry, I will order someone to treat him immediately!"

Sun Bin shook his head.

But Lu Polou said: "I have a very close relationship with the Heavenly King, even if I am dissatisfied, I will not punish severely!"

Sun Bin said with a wry smile: "I promised the prince to take care of the king of heaven and guard the Great Qin. Unexpectedly, I made a slip of the tongue."

Quan Yi and Deng Qiang also knelt on the ground, Quan Yi said: "Don't worry, my lord, Quan will enter the palace immediately, and I implore the king of heaven to take back his promise."

Deng Qiang also nodded and said, "I will go too!"

Sun Bin, who was dying, shook his head in despair, did not speak, but left two lines of hot tears first, and said angrily: "Daqin is dead, please, please save the life of the king!" After speaking, he left this world with infinite resentment .

At this time, General Zhen Dian came over, intending to carry out Fu Jian's will.The teary-eyed Lu Polou got up immediately, took out all the valuables from her body and said, "My lord, if the heavenly king blames the crime, Lu will definitely bear it."

Quan Yi and Deng Qiang also stood up and followed suit.Quan Yi saluted and said, "General, I would like to ask you to bury Your Excellency generously."

Deng Qiang also saluted and said: "This kindness, Deng, will never forget."

Seeing the three of them like this, General Zhendian said to himself: "These three are important ministers in the court, and they have a close relationship with the king of heaven, so they should not be offended. Besides, Sun Bin's death is indeed wronged, why not be a favor?" So, he nodded.

Murongchui and others who returned to the General's Mansion laughed heartily.

Liang Chen bowed his hands to Gao Bi and said, "Sir, you are very strategic. It not only made the clan dissatisfied with Fu Jian, but also angered Sun Bin, the counselor of the Qin State, to death. It's really gratifying!"

Murong Chui also nodded and said: "Sun Bin has been eliminated, and a great plan can be implemented."

But Le Song said: "Quan Yi, Deng Qiang, and Lu Polou are loyal to Fu Jian, so the three of them must not stay!"

At this time, Gao Bi said, "Sun Bin is not as strategic as Wang Meng, and even less powerful than Sun Bin! Besides, Lu Polou is old and weak and has no foresight, so there is no need to worry. Deng Qiang is a member of the Di clan. The title 'Enemy Ten Thousands' cannot be kept."

Murong hung his head and said: "Today Yao Chang is not his opponent, and he has a different heart with us."

Gao Bi comforted him, saying: "One day when I return to Yan, I will definitely find a brave general."

Murong Chui nodded hopefully.

At the same time, the wailing sounds from all over Chang'an continued, and the relatives hugged each other reluctantly and suffered endlessly.But the cold-faced Qin Jun mercilessly separated them and took them to various places.For a while there were complaints, and the people cursed Fu Jian in a secluded place.

After listening to Yang An's speech, Yangping Duke Fu Rong, who was in Yecheng, said with regret and regret: "Brother Huang is really..., prepare your pen and ink!"

Yang An asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, do you want to take back the order after listening?"

Fu Rong said angrily: "The loyal Sun Bin has learned from his death, but the emperor's brother has not changed his mind. What I said will be the same? I want to write a letter to the emperor and transfer him back to Chang'an to protect the family business!"
