Chapter 71 The second section Xianyang winter thunders the palace

When the first heavy snow falls in winter, it's time to ask for the army's class teacher. Just like the previous squadrons, the main force returned to the Lantian camp as soon as they entered the pass, waiting for the special envoy ordered by the king to reward them.According to the law, the king of Qin will lead the officials from the capital city to the ten-mile long pavilion, and the people will spontaneously bring all kinds of food out of the city to celebrate the labor force.This is the time-honored saying of "eat the pot of pulp to welcome the king's teacher", and it is also the grand occasion that any soldiers who go out to the expedition yearn for.However, all of this did not happen this time.When the chariots of soldiers with banners and flags were draped in the snowflakes and rumbled to the ten-mile suburban pavilion, only the special envoy of the King of Qin was in charge, and he read out the imperial edict of the King of Qin on the spot: "The army will fight eastward, but it will be futile. All the leading generals will return to the Lantian camp immediately. General Bai Qi gave the order, and the rest of the generals and officers will return to this department!

"It's unreasonable!" Ranghou Wei Xie, who was in command of the army, suddenly became furious, "Wang Ji is correct, let me take it down!" "Ranghou Mingcha," Wang Ji was neither humble nor overbearing, "The capital city is very close, and the king's seal is exact, how can a caller pretend to be an edict?" After thinking about it for a while, Wei Wei ordered decisively: "Take down Wang Ji! Lord Huayang leads all the generals back to the Lantian camp first, and I will come to reward you someday!" Huayang Lord Mi Rong and the leading generals stared blankly for a while, and finally turned around rode away.Wei Xun's face was terribly gloomy, "Gaoling Lord Jingyang each led three thousand cavalry to enter Xianyang with the old man, but there were obstacles, so follow the old man's orders!" Jun, at this time, he was hesitant, and he dared not obey orders.Wei Xun immediately yelled furiously: "How can you be so cowardly! This old man is on the side of Lord Qing. If you don't follow suit, go!" Gaoling Lord Jingyang Lord glanced at each other, promised "I obey!" and waved their flags to fight The car rumbled away.Wei Xun stomped his feet fiercely: "The horns are sounding! Flying cars into the city!" The commander-in-chief of the Chinese army split the flag, and the horns suddenly rose. Wei Xun's six-horse chariot rumbled out first, three thousand on the left and right. The iron cavalry unfolded, and the huge smoke and dust stirred up the flying snowflakes, rolling towards Xianyang like lightning.

The majestic Xianyang is hazy in the early winter snow.When the smoke and dust storm swept across the wide white stone bridge of the Weishui River and rushed to the south gate of Xianyang, Wei Xie couldn't help but be astonished—the city of Xianyang was covered with banners and flags, all kinds of crossbows flickered on the female wall, and there were more than 20 archery towers in the center. Large continuous firing machine crossbows; more than 200 chariots lined up in the city, and hideous saber carts flashed in the three open city gates; behind the chariots were two infantrymen lined up on both sides of the city gates. The fighting phalanx looked like the most elite soldiers of the Qin army at first glance; between the two phalanxes behind the chariot, there was a general and an unfamiliar civil servant surrounded by two cavalry centurions.

Wei Xun has been the prime minister for a long time, and he knows that Xianyang city defense is the best in the world, but he is prepared, don't say that he has 6,000 cavalry, even a 100,000 army can't do anything to this golden city.All of a sudden, Wei Xun became anxious, and before he could think about it, he stood up from the military chariot and shouted, "Meng Ao! Are you going to rebel?" Pointing: "Ranghou is so funny! I thought I was going to ask you this question, but you turned out to be the guest!" "Who are you? How dare you be rude to this old man!" In an instant, Wei Xie calmed down.

"Report to Ranghou," general Meng Ao cupped his hands on the horse, "this is Mr. Zhang Lu, the new Guozheng Supervisor and Special Envoy of the Labor Army." Wei Xun's mind suddenly flashed, Ting Wei is an important position, without his "recommendation", the King of Qin dared to appoint him suddenly, it is clear that there is a sudden change in the court situation, and at this time, entering Xianyang is the top priority.Thinking of this, Wei Xie sneered, "What a Tingwei, why are you so tired?" "Dare to ask Ranghou, privately arresting special envoys, iron cavalry crushing the city, and treating the emperor's fate like a child's play, is there such a class teacher in the world?" Zhang Lu on the opposite side also sneered.

"The Empress Dowager has a law: state affairs are governed by the order of the truth!" Wei Xie's voice was stern, "Wang Ji's edict has not been identified as true or false, and it is clear that someone is threatening the King of Qin to disrupt the country. I will return the capital urgently!" "Ranghou is ridiculous!" Zhang Lu raised his whip and pointed again, "Qin law is engraved in the Taimiao and hangs at the gate of the country. How many times have there been private laws of the queen mother? If Ranghou does not immediately release the special envoy of King Qin, he will commit a serious crime of treason!"

Wei Xun's face was livid, and he waved his hand back: "Let Wang Ji go." Turning around, he sternly shouted, "Zhang Lu! If I want to return Du Mianjun, if you dare to stop it, it will be a great crime to disrupt the country!" "Ranghou is on a mission!" Zhang Lu said loudly, "How can you bring iron cavalry into the capital privately without obeying the emperor's order? Six thousand iron cavalry camped in the south of the Wei Bridge, and Ranghou can return to the emperor himself!" Wei Xun was so angry that his lips trembled, but there was nothing he could do. After thinking for a moment, he sneered and said, "Okay, I will argue with you later." Turning around, he ordered loudly, "Mr. Enter the city!" Lord Gaoling was stunned for a moment, then he finally split the command flag and led six thousand cavalry to retreat to the Wei Bridge behind him, leaving only the guards of the Shogunate of the Chinese Army, a group of Sima and Lord Jingyang's guards and entourages by his side, about a thousand in total. Yu people.

When Lord Gaoling's iron cavalry retreated across the Weishui Bridge, Meng Ao split the flag and shouted loudly: "The passage to the south gate is open!" The great avenue is suddenly in front of you.Without saying a word, Wei Xun stomped his feet, and the six-horse military chariot roared into the city. The Prime Minister's Mansion is located on the east side of the widest Changyang Street just south of the palace. It is only two arrows away from the south gate of the palace. It was originally a rare and prominent location.As the military chariot drove all the way, Wei Xun felt that Changyang Street was unusually large today.Although this Changyang Street has no merchants and merchants, there are the most tall cars and horses. On ordinary days, no matter whether it is severe winter, hot summer or late at night, there are courtiers, horses and other officials who shuttle in and out of the palace. Twelve hours a day, absolutely When no chariots and horses disappeared.But today, except for the cold snowflakes flying all over the sky, Changyang Street is as empty as a deep mountain and valley.Through the hazy snow and fog, it can be seen that the south gate of the palace is also closed, and the two dark forests of spears under the gray Miyagi Arrow Tower are shocking.Obviously, the wide avenue leading to the palace from the Prime Minister's Mansion has been closed.As soon as I got back to the mansion, my old man came to report, saying that the guards had been replaced by another thousand-man team, several main officials in the mansion had not come to the council for several days, and more than 100 children of Chu people in the mansion had fled.Wei Xun was furious when he heard this, but after all he understood the urgency of the situation, he was in a hurry for a while, and just wandered around in the hall anxiously.

"Ranghou should face you immediately to turn the crisis around." Jingyang Jun finally spoke for the first time. "No." Wei Yan had already calmed down, and waved a group of officials and servants to retreat, "Yingji has already set up a posture with the old man, and the outcome is not clear, so he will not show up. This kid is patient, the old man is too old got it." Jingyang Jun said in a low voice: "I've been thinking about it all the way, that Zhang Lu's sharp mouth must be the mastermind of the mutation!" "Let's talk about whatever means you have." Wei Xun knew that Lord Jingyang had been in charge of the Black Ice Terrace, and his heart suddenly brightened.

"Except for Zhang Lu, draw from the bottom of the pot!" "If you want to assassinate, you must succeed in one blow! Otherwise, there will be no room for maneuver." "Unless Zhang Lu really has the protection of heaven, nothing is impossible!" "With this method, the old man will be the perfect complement. If you are amazing, the old man will be right." "Ranghou means to join hands with Lord Wu An?" "Of course." Wei Xing wandered around calmly, "For decades, this old man has supported Bai Qi with all his strength, and he has a deep friendship with him. When Bai Qi stepped forward, Qin's army would be as strong as a rock. As long as Yingji can't use his army to suppress me , even if the old man concedes a little bit of power, we still have the final say. What do you think?"

"Great!" Lord Jingyang clapped his hands happily, "Mr. Wu'an has always been responsible, and the 400,000 troops are like gods of war. He wants to argue with the king, and the king of Qin will see him even if he doesn't see him. It's just that Lord Wu'an didn't go with Ranghou this time. Strange." "That's why you don't know about Bai Qi." Wei Xie smiled resolutely, "Bai Qi didn't claim Gangshou because of his different political views. Back then when Hu wounded and attacked Zhao, Bai Qi and the old man also had disagreements, but it didn't hurt And the friendship between the old man and Bai Qi is still the same up to now. From the perspective of the overall situation of the Qin State, Bai Qi has always been able to speak clearly, and thinks that the old man and his joint battle are the most effective! But?" "That's right!" Lord Jingyang said urgently, "Then it's not too late, I'll go back to my residence immediately tonight!" "Okay! You go first, the old man will get out of the car in a while." Lord Jingyang left in a hurry.After waiting for more than half an hour, the sky was completely dark and the courtyard was already completely white, so Wei Xie ordered to prepare a car and go out.Drive through the empty carriage and horse farm and enter the south turn of Changyang Street, and then pass two alleys to Wu Anjun's mansion.There was already two or three inches of snow on the stone pavement, and the rumbling car became silent. After a while, it drove to the south entrance of Changyang Street, but there was a soldier with long spears standing across the street, ordering the car to retreat!Wei Xun was furious immediately, and the old man Ranghou Kaifu is also the prime minister!How dare you block this old man!A general with a sword on the opposite side replied loudly, he was ordered to fix the street, and Changyang Street outside the palace will not be released at night unless the emperor's edict!Wei Xun was in a hurry, he suddenly got up from the station and pulled out the ancient sword at his waist. This is the king's sword bestowed by the Empress Dowager Xuan herself, and this old man has the right to seize it with life or death!Who dares to stop it?Rush over! Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, the general on the opposite side had already shouted loudly, forming an array to fight against the chariot!A row of thick deer villages rumbled apart in the snow, a black shield lay behind the deer villages, and spears stretched out to seal the street entrance.Wei Xie had a lot of experience in battle formations. Looking at the speed formation, he knew that this was the main force of the Qin army's infantry fighting, not the Xianyang city defense army.Wei Xun's heart suddenly turned cold. The main force of the Qin army entered the capital, and the general could not dispatch it unless he held the Qin King's soldier amulet. Could it be that Bai Qi had already been pulled over by Ying Ji?Or even Bai Qi's military power has been deprived?In this extraordinary period, there is only patience for a while.With this in mind, Wei Xun stomped his foot and entered the car!The car made a turn on the spot and turned back to the prime minister's mansion. At this time, the mansion of Lord Wu'an was very quiet, except for the figures of Bai Qi and Fan Ju reflected by the light on the window lattice of the study. Three days after leaving the palace, Fan Ju's first strategy for King Qin Zhao was to "consolidate the trunk and cut the branches to consolidate the royal power".Fan Ju analyzed the history of the reform of the Qin State in detail, and stated the legalist theory that "the king's power is the highest in the legal system. In the chaotic situation of multi-family and multi-headed rule, Qin State is not only unable to gather national strength to compete with Zhao State, but also has an imminent crisis of civil strife!King Qin Zhao was always concerned about state affairs, but he felt that Fan Ju was alarmist if he said that the crisis of civil strife was imminent. Although he didn't say it clearly, Fan Ju could clearly see the smile on the corner of his mouth.Fan Ju sees things clearly and clearly, and his tone is suddenly fierce: "If the battle of Gangshou is won, the power of Ranghou will increase. In addition, the fiefdom will change from virtual to real and the tail will not be lost, and the king of Qin will be in power in no time! If nothing is won in the battle of Gangshou, the four nobles of Ranghou It is bound to link up with Lord Wu'an to consolidate his power, so that the king of Qin cannot be held accountable for his defeat in accordance with the law! Defeat cannot be punished, and the seal cannot be reversed. The new law of the country has disappeared! At that time, the people who lost their land recalled the new law, and most of the officers and soldiers of the new army were the children of the common people. How could they not treat the nobles as enemies? But if one army is not balanced, the upper and lower levels will inevitably fall apart. If the six kingdoms of Shandong take advantage of the situation and come , How can the Qin State not be destroyed in one go! In such a dangerous situation, if the King of Qin thinks that something is imminent, it is hopeless, and Fan Ju should leave!" These words were so penetrating and sharp that King Qin Zhao suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and said, "Mr. Yingji knows what he means, but he is just waiting for a talented Prime Minister and a proper time. Now that you have a husband, it is time to choose the right time." "Now is the best time. Fan Ju dared to write a letter for fear of missing it." "Sir, you mean, when the four nobles were teachers?" "Exactly." Fan Ju nodded, "In the Battle of Gangshou, Ranghou was defeated by Tiandan of Qi State, losing 30,000 troops, without gaining an inch of land. At this moment, it is a good opportunity to depose powerful officials. If you miss it, it will be too late to regret it! " "It's just," Qin Zhaowang hesitated, "Mr. Wu'an and Ranghou Duhou, Ranghou still has the talisman of standing soldiers, Xianyang's internal history is the subordinate of Lord Gaoling, and the palace has only 3,000 forbidden troops. Where should we start in a hurry?" "King Qin sees that something is wrong!" Fan Ju actually pointed out bitterly, "I have lived in Xianyang for more than a year, and I have been paying attention to the situation of the Qin Dynasty. I can clearly conclude that the king of Wu'an is a friend and not a party. Although the other three monarchs have real positions, they are mediocre. As long as King Qin makes up his mind, everything will be planned by Fan Ju. After Donglei, King Qin will only be in charge of the court!" Then, Fan Ju made his plan Confidentially, he talked for half an hour in one breath. "Okay!" King Qin Zhao said with great emotion, "Mr., just let it go, even if you fail, Yingji will have no regrets!" Fan Ju solemnly made a long bow: "The king of Qin is so decisive, if the big event fails, the way of heaven is safe!" According to Fan Juzhi's plan, King Qin Zhao immediately promulgated an edict: worship Zhang Lu as a guest minister, receive the honorary title of the Chinese doctor, and temporarily act as the official supervisor of the country to investigate the illegal affairs of the powerful ministers.This arrangement is very particular: one of the key points of the Qin law is that no one can be appointed as an official without meritorious service.Ke Qing is a vacant position of a famous foreign scholar, whether he can stay in Qin as an official depends on the merits and demerits of the consul, so the position of Ke Qing will not cause any disturbance.Juelu, a Chinese doctor, is just a temporary treatment, let alone attracting attention.Temporarily acting as the National Superintendent gave Fan Ju a lot of real power.The Guozheng Supervisor is the minister in charge of supervision in Qin State, and he is involved in almost everything.Exactly after the death of the Empress Dowager Xuan, the Guozheng Supervisor had been vacant, and the investigation and impeachment of the ministers were reported by the officials of the department to the Prime Minister's Office to directly assign subordinates to deal with it.Fan Ju led the country to be the supervisor, so he could investigate the entry and exit of various government offices in the name of illegality.And the addition of the sentence "investigate the lawlessness of powerful ministers" is to declare a situation to the government and the public: Qin Wang wants to clean up the state affairs according to law, and the focus is on rectifying the lawlessness of powerful ministers, not the turmoil of the court. It is such a position that is by no means prominent, Fan Ju immediately began to arrange closely. In the first step, Fan Ju went straight to Bai Qi, Lord Wu An. Wu'an Jun's mansion is located in the most unusual street in the southeast of the palace.It's neither wide nor narrow, it's not a thoroughfare, and it's not too remote. It's just between the Guorenfang area and the Wanggong office block. Wu Anjun's mansion and dare not set foot.The carriage and horse field in front of the mansion is very small, and there are few carriages and horses. Although the six-bay hall is spacious and majestic, there are only four soldiers standing there, and it suddenly looks empty and deserted.According to the prestige of Bai Qi's official title, it is hard for ordinary people to believe that this is the mighty Wu'an Monarch's Mansion.When the single-horse carriage was parked alone at the small carriage racecourse, Fan Ju couldn't help laughing, everything in front of him proved unmistakably that his speculation about Bai Qi was correct. Entering this extremely ordinary mansion, Fan Ju was deeply shocked by a strange appearance. Stepping through the hall, you will be faced with a tall screen wall of blue field and white jade, with an iron shield of the Qin army and a heavy long sword intersected in the middle, white stone and black iron, the simplicity and power are shocking.Bypassing the screen wall is a spacious and simple courtyard, paved with bluestone strips, no stone, no water, no bamboo, no grass, only the eight-bay main hall on the north side of the six steps stands majestically like a temple, with four big buckets inlaid in the middle of the gate. There are two rows of soldiers with spears under the porch standing upright like stone figurines, which are several times more than the guards at the gate of Fudi!Going around the main hall of the shogunate is the second entrance, but in front of it is an empty sandy courtyard with no stones, water, bamboo, grass or trees, just like a small military field.On the east side of the courtyard are six rows of weapon racks, each with wooden plaques with big characters of Zhao, Qi, Wei, Chu, Yan, and Han, and weapons of all colors are fully inserted without any gaps.Behind the weapon rack are two rows of long stone benches.On the west side is a long row of wordless weapon racks.A thick wooden stake was erected next to this weapon rack, and a black fine iron armor was hung on the stake. "Who's next?" A thick and deep voice sounded from behind. Fan Ju suddenly turned around, and saw a person walking out of a stone gate in the middle of the stone wall on the north side of the "School Army Field". He was dressed in natural ramie cloth, with a large cowhide belt around his waist, and his dull hair was as sharp as a spear!This person only stopped in the courtyard, and a chill filled the cold and stiff courtyard. "Keqing Guozheng Supervisor Zhang Lu, see Lord Wu An." Fan Ju immediately bowed. "What's the matter with the Guozheng prison?" Bai Qi didn't return the salute, but only asked a cold question. "Following the order of the King of Qin, accepting the impeachment letter, investigating the relationship between Yan and defeat." "Since it is a state matter, please enter the main hall to speak." Bai Qi waved his hand, and went straight to the shogunate hall through the "School Army Field".Fan Ju didn't speak, just followed into the hall. The main hall of the shogunate is also strange, with the same color bluestone slab floor and bluestone long table, as if entering a cold grotto.On the big wall behind the Qingshi Chang case is a large Chinese army flag with the word "Qin" written on it, and the huge bronze flag gun is shining brightly.On the opposite wall is a huge sheepskin picture - the picture of the world's armies fighting.On a sword stand under the banner, there is a King Qin sword in a golden sheath placed horizontally.There is a stone table under the wall on the right side, a black gold silk bordered command flag is inserted on the copper frame on the table top, and there are two big red characters on the large copper box next to it - Soldier Talisman.Under the wall on the left is a row of bookshelves filled with various scrolls of yellow and old bamboo slips. "Mr. Wu'an has a martial arts atmosphere, and I admire him the most!" Fan Ju couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart. "Please take a seat." Bai Qi pointed to the stone case on the west side of Shuai's case, and sat down on the opposite side case, looking at Fan Ju indifferently, waiting for him to ask questions. Fan Ju suddenly asked while smiling: "Is Mr. Wu An a disciple outside the Mohist Academy?" "Enter the hall, but talk about state affairs, forgive Bai Qi for nothing to comment." Although still indifferent, Fan Ju clearly saw the flames flickering in Bai Qi's eyes, so he calmly smiled and said: "A courtier wrote a letter of impeachment: Lord Wu An lightly sent out a war with him, resulting in the defeat of the Qin army, what did Lord Wu An say? " Bai Qi was stunned for a while, but said coldly: "If you blame me so much, what can I say?" Fan Ju is also serious: "A courtier also wrote: Ranghou started the war lightly twice, and lost 80,000 soldiers in the battle with him, and lost 30,000 troops in the battle of Gangshou without gaining an inch of land. Punish crimes according to the law. Lord Wu An is in charge of military affairs and military affairs, even if he did not command troops to go to war, he should have foreseen it, but what kind of explanation will he give?" Bai Qi was silent for a long time, then sighed: "God's will! What can Bai Qi say? If King Qin agrees with this statement, Bai Qi will be guilty." "Mr. Wu'an is wrong!" Fan Ju said solemnly, "Qin is a country ruled by law. The law is not noble, it is the essence of the new law of Shang Jun. Although Wu'an Jun is loyal to Ranghou, how can he use his personal feelings to mess with the law and cause the new law to be ruined? Yu once? You are the pillar of the Great Qin Dynasty. You are upright and clean, and everyone knows this. However, you have too much personal affection and too much selfishness. The name of "wrong war"! After the investigation according to the law, the king would rather bear the responsibility for others than think about the justice of the law, and hide the guilty ministers to mess with the law. If all the ministers are Wu'an, how can Qin have the loyalty to protect the law? How can Qin Fa Can it go on and on? Although my position is light, but my duty lies in it, but I am ashamed of Lord Wu An!" These words hit the vital point with righteousness, and Bai Qi's face flushed suddenly.From joining the army until reaching the high position of General Wu Anjun all the way, Bai Qi has never been criticized so positively by anyone.Bai Qi is upright and upright. Although he is unrivaled in the battlefield with all kinds of tactics, he is clumsy in dealing with it in the court and officialdom.Regarding military affairs, Bai Qi has always looked down on the world, disdained to stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone, and always thought that the shame of the military would never fall on himself.However, what Zhang Lu said at the moment is precisely his own mistake in the military affairs, and it involves such a profound truth that it is impossible to refute.If you think about it carefully, what the Guozhengjian said is completely reasonable. To protect the law and protect the country, you have to be like a Shang monarch, "without any second thoughts, doing the public good and disregarding personal interests."If you are ordinary, if you have objections to Ranghou's light start of war, you will just call him sick and not handsome, and if you have objections to the law of Ranghou's change of fiefdom, you will just politely resign and thank him, that's all, it's really embarrassing! With this in mind, Bai Qi solemnly cupped his hands and said, "What do you think, sir?" "Turn the tide with all your strength, protect the law with iron heart!" "Protecting the law and protecting the country, Bai Uprising is unavoidable." Bai Qi's eyes flashed, and he tapped on the big bluestone case with his big hand, "However, the purge of the court and the return to the rule of law must be decided by the King of Qin, and then the unified plan can be done." "The secret edict of the King of Qin is here. The edict of Lord Wu'an is here." Fan Ju quickly took off the black cotton robe outside, and then peeled off the ramie jacket, revealing the close-fitting short civilian clothes. Big red characters—Guozhengjian is acting according to the order of the king, and the mainstay of Lord Wu'an will help him!There is a bright red Zhu Wen Qin Zhuan seal on the skirt. Bai Qi has been a general for a long time, he handles secrets every day, and he has personally experienced the turbulent and dangerous situation of the death of King Wu of Qin. He is familiar with the extraordinary practices of the extraordinary period and the various secret edicts of the royal family. As soon as he sees the secret edict, he knows that it is written by King Qin Zhao, and he immediately understands it. Knowing that the disfigured Keqing in front of him must be a mysterious figure, and he must have made a good plan with King Qin in advance.All of a sudden, Bai Qi's depression of the past few months was swept away, and he bowed solemnly: "Bai Qi respectfully accepts the order!" After receiving the blood edict with both hands, he suddenly got up, "Mr. In this way, Fan Ju, together with Sima of the Chinese army sent by Baiqi, made a major change in the defense of Xianyang City that night: the two-step army originally stationed in Xianyang City moved out overnight and moved to the outer camp of Zhangtai Palace; The 30,000 main infantry of the Lantian Camp led by Meng Ao has already arrived, 10,000 cavalry are stationed outside the Wei Bridge at the South Gate, and 20,000 elite infantry have entered the city; the important towns, mansions of powerful ministers, and official guards in the city are all under the control of Meng Ao!At the same time, Bai Qi secretly ordered General Wang Ling to lead the garrison in the Lantian camp, and no one could mobilize any soldiers unless the emperor's edict had come.Fan Ju went in and out of the mansions of the elders, announcing the decree of Ranghou's defeat and King Qin's reorganization of the legal system one by one, stabilizing a group of elder ministers who had been neglected by the "four nobles" for a long time.At the same time, Fan Ju posted a notice in the city in the name of Xianyang's internal history, telling the people of the country and Shandong business travelers not to panic by using Xianyang as a defense.In this way, until the day of Wei Xie's class teacher, Xianyang City is no longer what it used to be. Fan Ju saw things very quickly, and as soon as Wei Xie entered the Xianyang mansion, he immediately called on Bai Qi, Lord Wu'an again, and asked Bai Qi to close the door and say he was sick, and declined all visits.Bai Qi was already ready to stand up and support the king of Qin to purge the court's legal system. When Fan Ju said it, he felt so abrupt, and his face sank. What does Guo Zhengjian mean by this?Believe it or not? "Mr. Wu'an's words are serious." Fan Ju laughed, "This matter is the intention of the King of Qin, and I also agree with it, but it is not ordered to force it. Remind the ears, Lord Wu'an can judge it by himself." "Mr. still hasn't finished his words, so it's enough to explain clearly." "First, the King of Qin knows that Lord Wu An has an extraordinary relationship with the Queen Mother and Ranghou." Fan Ju is sincere and frank, "The Queen Mother cares for Lord Wu An like a compatriot of flesh and blood, and Marquis Rang spares no effort to support Lord Wu An. Only in this way, Lord Wu An treats Lord Rang The king of Qin didn't think it wrong when he backed down, but instead praised Lord Wu'an as a famous scholar. Now Lord Wu'an puts righteousness first, and decided the overall situation of Qin State, King Qin is very pleased. It is not only a dilemma, but it will only lead to troubles in the future. Instead of this, how can you continue to complain about it? This Qin King is painstaking, and Lord Wu An may be considerate." Bai Qi was silent, and sighed for a long time: "The one who knows me is the king of Qin." "Furthermore, I think: Lord Wu'an is not good at dealing with people, but if he makes a mistake, the four princes of Ranghou may die and drag Lord Wu'an into the water; then not only will Lord Wu'an's integrity be damaged, but what's more, Daqin will lose the Great Wall of God of War, wouldn't it? It hurts the old Qin people!" "Okay!" Bai Qi patted the case, "Mr. But Yi is fine." "Thank you, Mr. Wu An." Fan Ju bowed, "But there is a general in charge, and I, the guest minister, will do it for breaking the face!" Fan Jujin's car hadn't driven out of the carriage field when he heard a rumbling sound, and behind him the gate of Wu'an Jun's mansion had been closed.Fan Ju's heart relaxed for a while, and he ordered to the driver: "Go to the Meng Ao Shogunate." The driver shook the reins, and the cart drove silently on the long street in the snow. Just when the car turned a street corner, a group of white shadows suddenly flew in the sky amidst the heavy snow that was flying all over the sky!With a short muffled howl, the warrior driver had already lay down on the shaft of the chariot.Fan Jushang was immersed in nervous thoughts, he was shocked when he heard the sound, and before he could think about it, he shrank and rolled, and before he got out of the carriage, he was stabbed in the shoulder by a long sword as fast as lightning!It fell heavily on the snow, and the long sword was already pressing down on the air with the sound of strong wind.Just when there was no room to leave, a loud roar was heard, and a black figure suddenly rolled over from the corner of the street, hugged the white shadow and rolled on the snow.Fan Ju struggled to stand up, leaning on the cart and shouted: "There are assassins! There are assassins—!" After two sounds, he heard the heavy footsteps of Dingjie soldiers coming over like rumbling thunder.But at this moment, there was another muffled howl, and the white shadow disappeared suddenly like a ghost. "Strong man!" Fan Ju rushed forward and hugged the black shadow lying on the snow. "Hey, big brother..." Hei Ying laughed and cried. "Zheng Anping?" Fan Ju yelled before he could think about it, "Quick! Carry him to the shogunate for healing!" Meng Ao had already heard that the police had come, and immediately ordered the sergeant to carry Fan Ju into the shogunate for treatment.After a lot of work by the military medical officer, the wounds of the two were finally bandaged.The sword wound on Fan Ju's shoulder was only three or four inches away from the vital point of his neck. Meng Ao was horrified by seeing it, and immediately sent a flying letter to report to King Qin Zhao.In less than half an hour, King Qin Zhao issued an urgent edict: Meng Ao immediately dispatched two hundred-man iron cavalry to guard the Guozhengjian mansion, and selected four iron eagle swordsmen as personal guards!Such edicts were really unprecedented in Qin State, Meng Ao suddenly understood the importance of this State Supervisor and the weight in Qin King's heart, immediately selected soldiers to form a guard, and personally escorted Fan Ju back to the mansion. Although he was wounded, Fan Ju showed no signs of fatigue. He placed Zheng Anping, who had arrived suddenly, in a secret room to heal his injuries, and then immediately entered the study room, where the lights stayed on until dawn the next day.After the heavy snow stopped in the afternoon, Fan Jujin's car, surrounded by two hundred cavalry, rumbled to Ranghou's mansion. Ye Lai was forced back by the soldiers, so Wei Xun immediately sent a confidant officer disguised as a Shandong scholar to visit Bai Qi secretly.Unexpectedly, all the gates of Lord Wu'an's mansion are closed, the guard Qianchang only said that Lord Wu'an was suffering from a serious disease, and the imperial physician served him at all times according to King Qin's edict, and refused to see guests.When the operator reported back, Wei Xun immediately sank down on the couch.In the current situation, only Bai Qi has the strength to turn the crisis around. With Bai Qi's peerless prestige, even if he doesn't come out to speak out for him, as long as he is impartial, Wei Xun will not be destroyed.However, looking at the dense formation of the main army in Xianyang, if there is no order to rise in vain, how can King Qin, who has not held a military amulet for decades, be able to successfully change his defense so vigorously?Suddenly, Wei Xun felt deeply regretful.He actually lost sight of Bai Qi.The battle between Yan and Zhi was clearly his own mastermind, and none of the main force of the 80,000 Qin army survived. Bai Qi, who loves soldiers like a son, was angry. In the dialogue, he confessed to the soldiers frankly; when he mentioned it by accident, he laughed out loud, fighting in battle, there is no life or death!If he is so overbearing, wouldn't Bai Qi feel chilled?It was originally a major plan for the country to change the feudal system from false to real, but he only discussed with the "Three Monarchs" and ignored it; In the battle of Gangshou, Bai Qi refused to lead the troops. Instead of inviting him, he secretly rejoiced that he had the opportunity to lead the troops in person. He didn't want to, but he happened to meet Tian Dan who had resisted Yan for six years. , Another 30,000 main force died in battle; at this time, with Bai Qi's thick and strong, how can he still have the respect for himself in the past?In the final analysis, I regard Bai Qi as a "soldier idiot" who only knows how to fight, and thinks that in matters of official affairs, Bai Qi naturally follows his lead; There is also a faint gap with Bai Qi, and the "Three Monarchs" from Chu Kingdom are naturally regarded as flesh and blood, Wei Xie, Wei Xie, how stupid you are, old Chu son! While weeping and sighing, Lord Jingyang sent an urgent report: Assassination of Zhang Lu failed, please Ranghou to come up with a new strategy! "It's God's will!" Wei Xie let out a long sigh and didn't speak any more. When Fan Ju's horse team rumbled to the Defu Chariot and Horse Farm, the magnificent and majestic Ranghou Mansion, which was like a castle, was extremely bleak and lonely in the white sky. There were two old servants who were beaten by frost standing by the door on both sides, it was really empty.At that moment, the officials shouted loudly: "The edict of the King of Qin has arrived!" After half a meal, the door with copper nails more than two feet high was rumbling open. Different from the mansion of the minister of ownership, Ranghou Wei Xie is the prime minister who founded the mansion, and the mansion is the official office of the prime minister's state affairs, so the momentum is quite different.Under the protection of two armored centurions, Fan Ju drove into the mansion with a team of officials.According to the law, the courtiers should go out as much as they can to receive the emperor's edict. Even if they are powerful ministers, they should at least receive the edict in the second courtyard.But Fan Ju and his entourage went through the front and entered the official office twice, but Wei Xie still didn't show up.The clerk on the right whispered: "If it is self-imposed, what should I do?" Fan Ju smiled leisurely: "Don't panic, Qin is not so lucky." In the official government office that handles state affairs, there is a white-haired old man in black standing alone under the front hall of the nine-level high-level hall, but it is Ranghou Wei Xie.As soon as the scribe waved his hand, the two teams of armored soldiers clanged and divided into two rows, but the four iron eagle swordsmen were nailed behind Fan Ju like black iron pillars. "You are Zhang Lu?" Looking down at the special envoy whose shoulders were bloated like armor, Wei Xun couldn't help but sneered. "Keqing Guozheng Supervisor, Wang Ming's special envoy Zhang Lu." A teasing smile overflowed from the corner of Fan Ju's mouth, "You are Wei Xie?" "Old man dare to ask, is Ke Qing a scholar of Wei State?" "Of course. He entered Qin with his followers and escaped from Ranghou's eyes." "If it fell into the hands of the old man that day, what will happen today?" "The legal net is back, and the way of heaven is turbulent. Even if Zhang Lu is in trouble, Wang Lu and Li Lu should also enter Qin. Even if Ranghou doesn't have today, there must be tomorrow." "God's will!" Wei Xie was stunned for a moment, then sighed heavily, "How will King Qin deal with the three monarchs?" "False seal outside the pass, the remaining crimes will be investigated separately." "Okay, Ying Ji still thinks of brotherhood. The edict has been announced." Two clerks opened the bamboo slips and displayed the edict in front of Fan Ju. Fan Ju read aloud: "The King of Qin's special edict: Cha Ranghou Wei Xie is in charge of the country, and he does not rule according to the law. He mostly manages politics according to his likes and dislikes; Qi, humiliating the country; changing laws and regulations without authorization, restoring fiefdoms; forming a party with three monarchs, and four nobles to monopolize the country; conquering without authorization, expanding one's own fiefdoms; all these will shake the foundation of the country and harm the new law. Responsibility! Today, we are dismissed from the post of Prime Minister of Kaifu, seized the title of Ranghou, and retained the original fief of Taoyi; on the day the edict is issued, he will move out of Xianyang and return to the fief to take care of him! The 41st winter month of the Great Qin King Yingji." "Hmph, at least I haven't killed the old man yet!" Wei Xie said harshly, "Okay! The old man will leave when spring comes." "No." Fan Ju said coldly, "Starting tomorrow, I must leave Xianyang in three days." Wei Xun was furious suddenly: "It's unreasonable! I'm an old man, how can I get through the pass? Teach Ying Ji to speak!" "People say that Ranghou is domineering, so it is true." Fan Ju smiled, "The body of the guilty is still like this, which shows the usual arrogance. I would like to advise, but the seniors weighed themselves: the big crime is to resign from the post, if you stay in Xianyang, It has aroused heated discussions among the people and courtiers of the country, but it is difficult for the King of Qin to disobey the will of the people." After saying a word, Wei Xie fell silent for a long time, then hurried away with a flick of his sleeves. Three days later, a long line of chariots and horses left the east gate of Xianyang in a heavy snowstorm.Ten days later, there was an urgent report from Hangu Pass: Ranghou's goods were loaded with more than a thousand ox-carts, and there were many jewels, gold, silk and other rare things. Although the royal treasury is invincible, please make a decision!This time Fan Ju didn't speak.King Qin Zhao thought for a long time, then sighed: "Ranghou likes wealth and has made great achievements in township, let him go." Wei Xun, who was once a hero of a generation, went like this.A few years later, Wei Xun died in the fiefdom of Taoyi, and King Qin Zhao took back Taoyi and established it as a county.Lord Huayang and Lord Gaoling moved out of Hangu Pass and became a family without a job. Lord Jingyang was sentenced to "dismiss the tribe and live in isolation outside the pass" for assassinating Fan Ju.So far, the foreign relatives who have been in power since the Queen Mother Xuan disappeared forever in Qin.
