Chapter 158: The Death of Meng Fu (1)
"The foundation of the continuation of the country's social heritage lies in the continuation of the bloodline and the orthodoxy of the origin. The sin of subverting the shrine of the temple is nothing more than playing with conspiracy and transferring flowers and trees. Today, there is the Great Qin Xiangguo, and the Wenxin Hou Lu Clan, who was originally a merchant of Yang Zhai, but openly steals the authority of a country above the court, and the thief is also a thief who steals the country.
The current king of Qin is not the blood of the first king of Qin, but the son of Lu thief. The Lu thief had bad intentions, forcibly occupied the queen mother, and then deceived the first king, in a vain attempt to steal the throne of Qin with the son of a thief, how can my people of Great Qin tolerate it?
Qin Guoshe is in danger, his position is not guaranteed, and the gods and men are angry. Today, there is a son of the first king, asking for the protection of the first king of the Qin State, crusading against the rebels, and correcting the dynasty. The people of Great Qin should follow the will of the previous kings and fight for thieves together. As far as the text goes, I am willing to do great things with you. ”
A piece of more than 100 words was spread out in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, but anyone could feel that anger in him.
"Thieves, thieves, all thieves. Ying Zheng suddenly pushed everything off the table and said loudly and angrily.
Below, Lu Buwei, Li Si, Wei Yi, Meng Tian and others all knelt on the ground.
Lu Buwei didn't dare to speak at this time, although what he said in the text was not true, but he knew that he did have an affair with the Queen Mother Zhao Ji, but Yingzheng was not his son, this was what Zhao Ji had told him a long time ago. Now that this matter has been picked out by others, as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, no matter whether Ying Zheng believes it or not, he is not suitable to be this Xiangguo. and that Fan Yuzhi, who was recommended by himself, has now become a rebel general, and he has the sin of not knowing people properly, so now under the anger of Ying Zheng, Lu Buwei has to kneel on the ground to accept Ying Zheng's anger.
Li Si raised his head and said: "The king is angry, now the rebel army is strong, and the Zhao State has obtained my Great Qin's army of tens of thousands, and the strength is even stronger than before, and now it is a big deal to exterminate the rebel army." ”
Wei Yu continued: "What Taifu said is extremely true, the words of this rebel army are all untrue, the king must not believe it, now is the time for the king to make every effort to govern and raise the prestige of our country, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”
The minister agreed with the words of the two adults. Meng Tian said.
Ying Zheng's angry eyes looked at Lu Buwei, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and said coldly: "Why didn't Lord Xiangguo say a word today? ”
Lü Buwei stood up, arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Wang." The improper use of ministers is that my Great Qin lost 100,000 troops at once, which is the sin of the ministers, regardless of the king
Whether it is a beating or a punishment, the ministers have no complaints. ”
Hearing that Lu Buwei no longer claimed to be his true appearance, but changed his name to be a minister, Yingzheng was a little satisfied for a moment. Since the death of his father, the power of Qin has basically fallen into the hands of Lü Buwei, and he can be gentle and courteous to his father, but he does not pay attention to himself, the new Qin King who single-handedly supported him to sit on the throne. Now after making a big mistake, Ying Zheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to remove Lü Buwei from all positions and send him back to the fief for retirement. However, after he revealed this idea to Li Si and Wei Yi, the two of them unexpectedly chose to oppose it, because now is not the time to get rid of Lü Buwei, and the Qin State now needs Lü Buwei to be an opponent with the people in the royal family, according to the current situation, the balance in the court of the Qin State is the most important.
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Sihe, who was standing behind Lu Buwei, and then said to Lu Buwei: "This time the selection is not the only one of the fathers, I think that Fan Yuzhi should have been ready to betray my Qin State a long time ago, but this time it was the blind cat who met the dead mouse, so we gave him such a chance." ”
"No, no, no, Fan Yuzhi was promoted by the minister, and his defection to Zhao was originally the crime of improper employment of the minister. Na Fan installed his cronies in the cities of Shangdang County, but the blame minister did not notice this person's wolf ambition at that time, which caused a big disaster. The minister's crime is unforgivable, and he was slandered by the traitor and thief, insulting the innocence of the queen mother, and the minister is willing to resign from the post of prime minister, please ask the king for permission. ”
Hearing Lü Buwei say this, Ying Zheng's originally angry face suddenly wanted to laugh, originally he thought that it would take a lot of effort to make Lü Buwei willingly hand over his authority, at this time, he opened his own mouth, so did he take advantage of the situation to take it back?
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Si, but saw that Li Si shook his head slightly. Ying Zheng calmed down, and he suddenly felt that with the scheming of Lu Buwei, an old fox, and the power in his hands, how could he be willing to hand it all over? Ying Zheng felt that things were not so simple.
Ying Zheng opened his mouth and persuaded Lu Buwei: "Father Xiang is serious, this Fan Yuzhi has not shown any clues in my Qin State for more than ten years, thinking that he must be a scheming person, I don't blame Father Xiang for this matter." Meng Qing, do you think which general should lead the troops next?"
Meng Tian had been watching the play beside him, and at this time he was suddenly asked by Ying Zheng, Meng Tian was stunned for a moment, and then bowed down and replied: "King Qiqi, the last general thought that he would send troops to quell the rebellion again this time, and he was elected as a senior general who was old and respectful, and had a reputation among my Qin army, otherwise I am afraid that in the face of Chang'anjun and hundreds of thousands of troops, it may be difficult for our army to win." ”
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and felt that what Meng Tian said made sense, "You haven't told the widow who to send to lead the troops."
What?"
Meng Tian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are not a few generals like this in our Qin State, not to mention the old general Wang Jian Wang who is now in Xianyang City, or the grandfather of the last general, as well as the father of the last general, Wang, Wang Ben and other generals, can lead troops to battle." ”
Lü Buwei continued Meng Tian's words and said: "General Meng is right, your majesty, I have a large number of generals in the Great Qin, and many of them are the generals of my Great Qin generations, so these generals should be my Great Qin Zhongliang, and the king does not have to worry." ”
Ying Zheng suddenly said to Ying Zheng: "Meng Qing, General Meng should be guarding the border between Qin and Zhao at this time, right?"
Meng Tian said, "Yes, Your Majesty. The grandfather of the last general has been guarding the frontier since the last time the six countries jointly attacked our Qin State. The last time the last general saw his grandfather was when he was married. ”
"Well, in this way, the closest army to Shangdang now should be General Meng's army. Since this is the case, let General Meng Lao lead his troops to attack the rebels, and then pass on the widow's edict to Meng Yi, asking him to recruit troops and buy horses in the country, and then use it as a second reinforcement to support General Meng Lao. Ying Zheng said to the few people standing below.
"No. Several people replied.
As early as when there were signs of rebellion in Shangdang, Meng Fu, who was 300 miles away from Shangdang County, was alert, because the team transporting supplies from Shangdang County had not arrived for a long time, and the people sent by Meng Fu to inquire about Shangdang were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all, and even no one returned.
Meng Fu felt that something was wrong, so he continued to send people to investigate. Later, the people who were finally sent came back to report that there were many Zhao people in Shangdang County, and that three of the six cities had changed the banner of the city head to the banner of the Zhao army.
At this time, Meng Fu knew that the big thing was not good, so he sent people to Xianyang to deliver the letter, and on the other hand, he sent a large army to prepare to go to Shangdang County, he wanted to find out what was going on.
Meng Fu went here, but he didn't expect that this time he would go to the ghost gate.
After Fan Yuzhi and Chang'an Juncheng decided to vote for Zhao, they naturally cared more about the closest Meng Yu. Every move of the Mengfu army was known to the spies of the Zhao State, and then reported to Fan Yuzhi.
When Cheng learned that the old general Meng Yu led an army of 100,000 on the border between Qin and Zhao to attack him, he was confused and blamed Fan Yuzhi for leading him on a road of no return.
Fan Yuqi said to Chang'an Juncheng in the Shangdang County City: "You don't have to worry, you don't have to worry, we now have 100,000 troops in our hands, and tens of thousands of troops from Zhao State are on the side to assist. At most, there are only 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we are defending the city, what is the king afraid of, it depends on how I defeat Mengfu. ”
