Chapter 30 Section 2 Fengyang Jun defrauds Su and Qin

Although it is early summer in April, the willows are still green and the chill still exists in Handan.Waking up in the morning, the fog was thick, and the palaces, lakes, and forests became shadows and chaos.Zhao Suhou, who was in a wide robe and sleeves, came out of the bedroom, came to the grass by the lake, took a few long breaths, and then began to practice jumping and crouching. "Father Jun, you need to wear Hu clothes when you practice Hu Gong." Following the young voice, a young man walked out of the woods. "Yong'er?" Zhao Suhou jumped back and said, "Hey! Are you a Hufu? You're so energetic! Come, let me take a look." The young Zhao Yong was wearing a tight-sleeved short jacket, with long-waisted boots on his feet, and a pair of bearded boots in his hand. A crescent moon saber with a handle.Compared with Zhao Suhou's toga and large sleeves, it looks lean and neat, with a unique charm.Zhao Suhou sized him up, nodded and smiled and said, "Guarding the border for a year has made some progress."

"Father Jun, the Hu people are faster than us, most of it has something to do with the clothes." Zhao Yong gestured excitedly: "Look, this Hu suit has four pieces inside and outside, and at most one leather robe is added when it is cold. Our whole body, at least eight Nine pieces, plus a belt, high crown, toga, and large sleeves, more than a dozen pieces inside and outside, which is much more cumbersome. My thousand-man team is now all in Hufu, and after a few battles, it is very neat!" "Yes, yes, the army It’s okay to wear clothes. When fighting a war, you have to move like a rabbit.”

Suddenly, there was a sound of heavy and hurried footsteps, and a tall red figure was vaguely seen striding forward. "It's Fei Yi, that's right!" Zhao Yong had excellent eyesight, and he recognized the person with just a glance. "Report to Your Majesty," the high-pitched voice of the red figure came from Zhang Xu Zhiyao: "The Qi State has launched a large-scale army to destroy the Song Dynasty, and sent a special envoy to invite me to join the army." "Have you reported to Fengyang Lord?" Zhao Suhou asked lightly. "Not yet. Your Majesty, please make a decision first." Fei Yi bowed his hands, then bowed his head and stopped talking.

Zhao Suhou walked around the circle with a gloomy expression, but remained silent for a long time. "Father, General Fei Yi is commendable for his loyalty." Zhao Yong said impassionedly: "The military plan should be decided by the king." Zhao Suhou ignored his son, turned to Fei Yi and said, "Report to Lord Fengyang and wait for the decision." "Your Majesty..." Fei Yi looked at the Monarch, finally did not speak, and turned around with big strides. "Father Jun, do you want to endure until the country is in chaos and people disperse before giving up?" Zhao Yong's face turned red, and he almost shouted. "Shut up!" Zhao Suhou yelled, looked around, and said in a low voice: "He has commanded the army for more than ten years, and he has two hundred miles of Shangdang land. Worry, I have a solution." Seeing his father looking around again, Zhao Yong waved his hand: "There is absolutely no one within a hundred steps. Father, don't worry." Zhao Suhou stared at this heroic son and smiled leisurely: "Strength geometry?"

"Three hundred dead men." Zhao Yong stood up solemnly. "Three hundred people just want to shake the sky? Really improved, ah." "All the assassins, as a young master, turn the world around, how about me, three hundred dead men?!" Zhao Suhou's eyes flashed, he was silent for a long time, but turned around and left.Zhao Yong thought for a moment, then followed his father into the misty forest.When Fei Yi came to Fengyang Jun's mansion, the morning fog had dissipated, and there was a lot of traffic outside the gate of the mansion.This Lord Fengyang is the second son of Zhao Chenghou and the younger brother of Zhao Suhou.Zhao Chenghou originally had three sons, the eldest son Zhao Yu, the second son Zhao Yu, and the third son Zhao Cheng.Zhao Chenghou attached great importance to his three sons, and whenever his relatives left, the eldest son stayed in Handan to supervise the country, and the two youngest sons went to war with the army.Over time, the second and third sons became generals in the army, while Zhao Yu often took charge of state affairs, so he became the prince logically.After the death of Zhao Chenghou, the second son Zhao Yu refused to accept Prince Zhao Yu and raised troops to seize power.Zhao Yu responded calmly, and joined forces with his third brother Zhao Cheng to defeat Zhao Yu, who then abandoned his country and fled to South Korea.In order to repay the third younger brother, Zhao Yu enfeoffed Zhao Cheng as Lord Fengyang, which doubled the fiefdom.Since Zhao Yu was not very familiar with military affairs, and Zhao Guo had many battles, Zhao Cheng also became the general.After several victories, Zhao Cheng's prestige and power gradually expanded, and Zhao Cheng gradually became more prestigious.

Qin Guo captured Jinyang, Zhao Cheng led the troops to rescue, but almost became a prisoner of the Qin army.Zhao Cheng was furious, so he wanted to raise an all-powerful army to fight the Qin army!Zhao Suhou was surprisingly stubborn this time, and he firmly disapproved of going head-to-head with Qin.In front of all the ministers, he held the great seal of the monarch in his hand and said: "If Lord Fengyang insists on going his own way, please accept this golden seal of the kingdom, and Zhao Yu will retreat to the mountains immediately." Zhao Cheng was so embarrassed that he insisted on giving Bored back.

From then on, this Lord Fengyang ran rampant in the country even more, and did not take Zhao Suhou seriously.Many ministers were dissatisfied with Fengyang Lord's domineering arrogance, and secretly wrote letters, asking Zhao Suhou to "kill Fengyang Lord so that the Zhao family can be safe".Instead of being noncommittal, Zhao Suhou handed over the power of the prime minister to Fengyang Jun, asking Fengyang Jun to "open the government order and take charge of the state affairs".In this way, Zhao Guo almost became the world of Fengyang Lord.The mansion was full of people all day long, and Zhao Cheng was very busy.Seeing that the monarch was weak, many ministers who had previously submitted letters secretly defected to Lord Fengyang's family, and their official positions were promoted one after another.Only this Wanqi general, Fei Yi, is a widow, he can do whatever he wants, he still finds the monarch to report the military situation from time to time, and the officials and lords always stay where they are.

"Hey! Fat Yiya, rare visitor!" A chubby, short, red-haired old man with white hair squinted his eyes, leaned against the stone pillar under the gate with a smile on his face, and exclaimed in a drawn-out tone.Fei Yi strode up the nine wide white jade steps, and said indifferently: "Li Sheren, Fei Yi wants to see Lord Fengyang." .Li Sheren has followed Fengyang Lord for many years, and he has come up with some ideas to mediate the court situation. Since Fengyang Lord gained power, he was promoted to the manager of the mansion.In the "Three Jins" of the Central Plains, Wei, Zhao and Han had the same customs, and they all referred to the general manager as "the elder of the family".In recent years, this old Li family has become very popular in Handan. Officials, big and small, are all in awe. When they meet each other, they will bow and salute and call "Old Master" repeatedly, and put some precious things in a copper box in the gate with quick eyesight and quick hands. Otherwise, you will have to embarrass yourself everywhere.Fei Yi is a minister of the State of Zhao, so it is impossible that he does not know the rules of entering Fengyang Jun's mansion, but he blatantly calls "the old man of the family" "Li Sheren".Even so, the old man of the Li family is old-fashioned, so he bowed his hands and smiled: "The general is the leader of the country, and he should take care of himself. Lord Fengyang is doing morning exercises in the bamboo forest garden. The general invited you." , went straight into the mansion.

Fengyang Jun's mansion has been expanded from six entrances to nine entrances, and a water forest garden has been built behind the mansion.The so-called Bamboo Forest Garden is a bamboo, wood, flower and herb garden on the east side of the Third National Government Hall. In addition to a large area of ​​green bamboos, there are also some rare birds and animals.Mr. Fengyang has been in the army for a long time, so morning exercises are normal, Fei Yi naturally didn't think about it, so he went straight to Zhulinyuan.The morning mist has not yet dissipated, and heavy panting and slender groans suddenly came from the quiet bamboo forest... Fei Yi suddenly felt strange, stopped immediately, thought for a while, and said loudly to the green bamboo forest: " General Wanqi, Fei Yi, has an urgent meeting with Lord Fengyang to report important military affairs."

But after hearing the whirling of women in the bamboo forest, there was a hoarse and hoarse scolding: "Bold and fat! Are you guilty of peeping in the Forbidden Garden?!" Following the words, a mighty and strong man with gray beard and hair turned out of the mist, Sweating all over, but only a piece of colorful tiger skin was wrapped around his waist, like an ancient hunter! "The country is above all, and the subject is not guilty." Fei Yi bowed his hands in awe, and lowered his head not to look at the strange landscape in front of him. "Hmph, Zhao Guowei, are you a fat and loyal minister? Ah!" The naked "hunter" yelled: "Come here! Delegate Fei Yi to the rank, demote the Yunzhong camp, and punish him with hard labor!" There was a sound of shouting, but it was Li Jialao who led a group of warriors up, and immediately tied Fei Yi up.Fei Yi didn't panic in the slightest, he just stared hard at the old man of the Li family, sneered slightly, and was escorted away involuntarily.There was a burst of laughter in the drifting morning mist.A military officer with a sword came hurriedly: "I want to report to Lord Fengyang, and Su Qin of Luoyang asks to see you."

"Su Qin? Who is Su Qin?" The tiger-skin "hunter" who asked the question has turned into a well-dressed Fengyang Lord.The old man of the Li family smiled and said: "I just remembered, this person is the wanderer who said that Zhou talked about Qin a few years ago, Guiguzi is a high-level man. The emperor gave the king a chariot, and also rejected Qin's Shangqing Gaojue, who was famous for a while. Well, it’s just, I don’t know why it fell silent afterwards?” "Oh? Good!" Fengyang Jun smiled: "Such a celebrity, I can't ask for it. See you!" "Master, wait a minute." The Li family elder said in a low voice: "Let the old minister find out and understand, so as to prevent the oriole behind his back." "Alright. Find out whether he is sincerely defecting, or does he have other plans?" "Old minister understands." The round old Li family left with the mist like a gust of wind. Handan was Su Qin's first goal. In today's world, there is no one who hates Qin the most than Wei, Chu, Zhao and Han.Wei State is the long-standing enemy of Qin State for a century. Chu State has been bullied by Qin State the most in recent years. South Korea was directly taken away by Qin State. of the Central Plains countries.If you want to make a fuss about the anti-Qin plan, you must choose one of these four countries to start with.Su Qin made repeated trade-offs. Wei State was the strongest, but Wei Hui Wang Junchen was depressed and decadent, and it was difficult for him to provoke the heavy burden of anti-Qin; Chu State was remote and had always been suspicious of the Central Plains. It is not suitable to be the sponsoring country; South Korea is too small, but if there is any trouble, it may be strangled by Qin in the cradle.Only this country, Zhao, has a middle-level national strength and a fierce and warlike people. Its influence among the six great powers in the Central Plains is only second to that of Wei and Qi.More importantly, the State of Zhao has always been courageous in the conflicts among the nations, and its national policy is relatively stable; the former Zhao Chenghou and the current Zhao Suhou are considered wise monarchs, good at making decisions and balancing.All these made Su Qin go straight to Zhao Guo without hesitation. Along the way to the north, Su Qin already knew Zhao's political situation well, so he decided to persuade Fengyang Lord first, and then went to see the king.Hearing that Mr. Fengyang has the habit of getting up early to govern, he rushed to see him early in the morning.Seeing the round and smiling old man, Su Qin knew it was a "human cat", so he naturally threw three "Luoyang King Gold" with the inscription of the emperor into the copper box.The family elder immediately respected him, arranged for him to wait in the conservatory, and hurried in to report. After a while, the old man stepped out with a smile on his face: "Sir, Lord Fengyang has issued an urgent order and has gone into the palace. He specially told the gentleman to ask him to come and give him advice tomorrow night. I am really ashamed." "The old man is serious Su Qin will come back tomorrow night." Back at the guest house, Su Qin thought about what happened today, and felt something strange.The one who pours power over a country like Fengyang Jun is unmatched in the world.This man has a hobby of being alone in the garden in the early morning, how could Zhao Suhou not know?Mr. Fengyang issued an urgent edict, so it must be an excuse to not see him; but he "specially conveyed" to "enlighten him" tomorrow night, and clearly wanted to see him.Is it just a small trick to push and pull?It seems to be, and it seems not only.Reborn after a big setback, Su Qin already has a new understanding of "following the trend" and has a bird's-eye view of the turbulent power field.Facing the staunch and domineering Fengyang Lord and the soft and sinister "human cat" elder, Su Qin decided to make up his mind, speak according to the trend, act according to the opportunity, and never get entangled in one country and one country.At dusk the next day, Su Qin met Fengyang Jun soaked in the smiling face of the old man at home. Under the bright lights, both of them sized each other up.What Su Qin saw was a thick and dark commoner villager who was incompatible with this luxurious mansion. His two narrow and slender eyes suddenly opened, and they would emit a gloomy light!What Feng Yang Jun saw was a calm and steady civilian scholar, with long gray hair, dark and thin, and his dark eyes were unpredictable. "Mr. Strategist, if you talk about me with the words of a ghost, you may listen to it. If you talk about the things in the world, I know everything, so there is no need to say more." As soon as he sat down, Lord Fengyang became weird and cold, as if he wanted to embarrass Su Qin deliberately. . "It's the original intention to see the king with the words of a ghost." Su Qin smiled slightly. "Oh? How do you say that?" "Your mansion's personnel affairs are exhausted, only the ghost's words can be carried out." Feng Yangjun burst into laughter suddenly: "Eloquent! I would like to hear ghost words." "When I came to Handan, it was at dusk, the city gate was closed, and I slept beside the fields and woods. In the middle of the night, I heard a field mound arguing with a puppet in the forest. The mound said: 'You are not as good as me. I am a soil body, no matter the storm , or continuous rain, soaking my body, but I still return to the land, and the sky will form a ridge again. If the land is not destroyed, I will live forever. But you are wood, either the root of the tree, or the branch of the tree. Regardless of the storm, It's still raining continuously, you have to uproot and break branches, drift into the river, flow east to the sea, and don't know where to end.' Ask Fengyang Jun, what do you think of the Turidge?" "What do you think, sir?" Fengyang Jun seems to have a sense There was an overtone, but he was at a loss, so he asked a question. "The words of the earth ridge are reasonable." Su Qin directly cut into the topic: "A tree without roots cannot last long. For example, a king has no central position, but has the power of the central center, just like an isolated tree, although the outside is full of branches and leaves. It is flourishing, but it is in danger. If there is no real merit, it will eventually become a drifting tree." Fengyang Jun's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak. After thinking for a while, he waved his hands and said, "Sir, please go back to the building, and come back tomorrow." Feng Yangjun was leaning on the long table with a dark face in a daze.Su Qin's words made him feel a little uneasy, "Having the power of the center without having the position of the center" is indeed a taboo for powerful ministers, but if he becomes a tiger, can he retreat?Listening to Su Qin's voice, it seems that there is a clever strategy to turn the crisis into safety.Is it possible?Can a scholar and scholar turn the world around?I was thinking in confusion, and a burst of light footsteps came to my side. "Dare to ask my lord, how is Su Qin?" The elder Li's voice was earnest and respectful, which made Fengyang Lord feel at ease. "What do you think?" Jun Fengyang's face was dignified and solemn. "I have a question: Su Qin advised the lord to retreat bravely, is the lord going to obey?" "I can't." Fengyang Jun hesitated for a moment, but still spit out these two words. "It's okay for a minister like this. When you look at Su Qin's conversation, his eloquence and knowledge are all superior to that of the master. When this person enters Zhao, the person who plots will be his own merit, and the master is just a stepping stone for him to make achievements. Only if this is the case, this person will be great to the master. unfavorable." "Drive Su Qin away, offend the famous people in the world, who will come to join us?" "Don't worry, my lord. I have a plan to make Su Qin go away happily, so that I won't tire of my lord's respect for the virtuous." "Oh? Tell me!" The old man leaned closer and whispered something, Fengyang Jun laughed out loud. The next night, Su Qin came leisurely.Feng Yangjun entertained with a small banquet, and asked for advice solemnly after drinking.Su Qin is exceptionally sincere, analyzes Fengyang Jun's crisis situation, and puts forward a fundamental strategy to get rid of the crisis situation in one fell swoop - Fengyang Jun will come forward to unite the six countries to fight against Qin, support Zhao Suhou as the leader of the alliance, and resolve the suspicion of the monarch and his ministers. The traces return to the official duties of the courtiers, so that Fengyang Lord can live forever like a ridge of dirt.In the end, Su Qin generously expressed his ambition: "Su Qin is a commoner, and he can't bear the bullying of the princes of the Central Plains by the strong Qin. Feng Yangjun kept looking at Su Qin, but there was no expression on his face.At first, Su Qin only thought that this man had a deep conspiracy, and he talked about it for an hour, but Fengyang Lord still sat upright, unmoved at all.Su Qin felt strange, so he stopped talking, looked at Fengyang Jun's expression, and waited for his question.Who would have thought that Lord Fengyang was still sitting dumbly, without saying a word! "Su Qin bid farewell." Knowing that there was something wrong, Su Qin bowed his hands and left. "Sir, stop." There was a soft rustling voice from behind, and the Li family elder lightly chased him up: "The old man sent you off on behalf of the lord." Su Qin smiled lightly: "Dare to ask the elders: Yesterday's rough talk, Fengyang Jun is still moved. What is the reason for this?" The old man smiled mysteriously, and pulled Su Qin under the big tree beside the road, first made a deep bow, and then sighed quietly: "Mr. The plan is high, but my lord's talent is limited and shallow, so I can't use it. I am afraid that my husband will be in danger, so I ask the lord to plug my ears with cotton, so I don't want to talk about it. I am ashamed, ashamed!" Su Qin was stunned, stunned for a moment, but laughed loudly: "It's amazing! It's amazing! It's really amazing!" When Su Qin's laughter subsided, the elder sighed again: "Even so, Mr. Difficulty, nothing more than trying to get rich clothes and good food. This old man will definitely ask the lord to subsidize Mr. with a high car and a lot of money. This old man is ashamed, ashamed!" "Oh—?" Su Qin couldn't help laughing even more: "Is there such a thing? Don't listen to my words, but give me money?" "Please come back tomorrow, sir. I am ashamed." "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." "The old man is ashamed and ashamed." Su Qin felt that it was very funny, and couldn't help but burst into laughter even if he wanted to, but actually laughed and swaggered away. Back in the building, Su Qin couldn't help laughing out loud for a long time, causing neighbors and guests to poke their heads out in amazement.Although the world is full of wonders, but since the Spring and Autumn Period, such deceitful people have never been heard before, it is unbelievable!A well-conceived and grand rhetoric has become deaf and blind, and it is really playing the piano to the cow!Celebrities lobbied for such a funny adventure, and I, Su Qin, were the only one in five hundred years!Since meeting such a funny and narrow-minded person, why not take advantage of the trend and fulfill this funny story? In the afternoon of the next day, Su Qin went there as promised, and the elders of the Li family greeted him solemnly.Mr. Fengyang held a grand banquet in the main hall, and repeatedly said, "I was taught yesterday, and it was like enlightenment."The old man of the Li family hurriedly winked at Su Qin.Su Qin laughed out loud again, and said "I am not satisfied with the water and soil, so I want to go back" and so on.After the banquet, Lord Fengyang "gifted" many valuables to Su Qin, except for a hundred pieces of gold and a car, there were three treasures that Su Qin had never seen before: one was a bright moon bead, which appeared in the dark. It can shine a light!The second is a white jade bi, which the Li family elders specifically reminded that this is the Jingshan Bi from Chu State, which is as famous as the Heshi Bi.The third is a collar of sable fur, which can melt snow three feet away. "I am ashamed and ashamed." After the Li family gave instructions and explained, he looked at Su Qin respectfully, for fear of accidents.Su Qin laughed and accepted.
