Volume 1 The Hatred of the Country and the Family, The Sword of the World, Chapter 47 The Windswept Knight, Plotting to Get rid of the thief
After Zhang Yiyou finished talking about the princes, he returned to Qin to the west, and on the way, King Zhaoxiang of Qin fell seriously ill and died, and the crown prince Yingdang ascended the throne, that is, King Wu of Qin.
King Wu of Qin was only twenty years old when he ascended the throne, he was powerful, he liked warriors, he hated Zhang Yi very much before he ascended the throne, and Zhang Yi was also disliked by the ministers of Qin. This time the crown prince ascended the throne, and the ministers attacked and slandered Zhang Yi in front of King Qin Wu, saying that Zhang Yi was untrustworthy and a petty villain who betrayed the country in order to seek the favor of the king. If the Qin State must appoint him again, he can't help but be laughed at by the people of the world, and I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the country and the people.
King Wu of Qin himself hated Zhang Yi, and as soon as the ministers said this, King Wu had the intention of abandoning and expelling Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi lobbied the princes to get permission from the eastern princes, so he returned to Qin to report. And the princes knew about the beginning of the new monarch of Qin and the disagreement between King Wu of Qin and Zhang Yi's monarchs and ministers, so they immediately reneged on their promise to allow Zhang Yi to get rid of the strategy of Qin.
Zhang Yi returned to Qin, and the ministers of Qin slandered Zhang Yi day and night, and the king of Qi was very angry because what Zhang Yi said was false, and his words did not match the truth, so he sent an envoy to hold Zhang Yi accountable.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Yi was very worried that he would be killed, and in order to avoid disaster, he set up a strategy, so he said to King Wu of Qin: "For the sake of the Qin country, the minister must make great changes happen in the eastern countries, so that the king can cut more land." Now I heard that the king of Qi hates the minister very much, as long as the minister is in any country, the king of Qi will definitely send an army to crusade. The minister wanted to go to Wei, and Qi would inevitably send an army to attack Wei. When the armies of Wei and Qi were fighting under the city and no one could return to the division and leave, the king took advantage of this gap to attack Korea and enter Sanchuan, and the army drove out of Hangu Pass instead of attacking other countries, and advanced directly, and the troops came to the Zhou capital, and Zhou Tianzi would definitely offer sacrifices. The king can hold the Son of Heaven hostage, master the map of the world, and achieve the emperor's deeds. ”
Although King Wu of Qin did not like Zhang Yi, he thought that Zhang Yi's words were reasonable, so he agreed to Zhang Yi's request and sent Zhang Yi to Wei in thirty military vehicles.
Zhang Yi entered the Wei State and was appointed as the Prime Minister by the King of Wei Ai. When the king of Qi heard that Zhang Yi was with Wei again, he sent troops to attack Wei. The king of Wei was afraid, and Zhang Yi said to the king of Wei: "The king doesn't have to worry, the minister can let the Qi State withdraw the army." ”
So Zhang Yi sent his disciple Feng Xi to the state of Chu to persuade the king of Chu to borrow an envoy from the state of Chu to the state of Qi, and the king of Chu agreed. The envoy of the State of Chu went to the State of Qi and said to the King of Qi: "The king hates Zhang Yi very much, although this is the case, but the king sent troops to attack the State of Wei this time, which was precisely in his plan, but let Zhang Yi have something to rely on in the State of Qin." ”
King Qi said: "The widow especially hates Zhang Yi, where Zhang Yi is, the widow will definitely send troops to attack somewhere." How can it be said that the widow can let Zhang Yi have something to rely on? ”
The envoy of the state of Chu replied: "I have heard that Zhang Yi left the state of Qin when he was in Wei, it was a conspiracy. Zhang Yilai agreed with the king of Qin that he must cause major changes in the eastern countries so that the king of Qin can obtain more land. The king of Qi hated him very much, and in which country he was in, the king of Qi would definitely send an army to attack which country. Therefore, Zhang Yi came to Wei State, the purpose was to let the king send troops to attack Wei State, and wait for the time when the armies of Wei State and Qi State were inseparable from each other in the melee under the city, so that the King of Qin would take advantage of this gap to send troops to attack South Korea and enter Sanchuan, and the army would advance directly from Hangu Pass, and the troops would come to Luoyang, the capital of Zhou, so Zhou Tianzi would definitely sacrifice Jiuding sacrificial vessels. The king of Qin can hold the Son of Heaven hostage, master the map of the world, and achieve the emperor's exploits. The king of Qin allowed this strategy to be exercised, so he prepared thirty military chariots and sent Zhang Yi to Wei. Now that Zhang Yi has gone to Wei, the king really sent troops to attack Wei, and he fell into Zhang Yi's scheme! The king sent troops to attack the countries with which he had established diplomatic relations, and widely set up enemies, and the calamity would bring disaster to himself, but Zhang Yide succeeded in his plan and allowed him to gain the trust of the Qin state. This is where I said that the king gave Zhang Yi something to rely on! ”
When King Qi heard this, he came to his senses and said, "The widow has fallen for Zhang Yi again!" He ordered the Qi army that had attacked Wei to be withdrawn. Although Zhang Yi quelled the war between Wei and Qi, he was unable to fulfill Qin's promise to send troops to the Zhou Dynasty, and was increasingly hated and hated by the Qin people. Zhang Yi was also frightened and worried in the Wei State.
Xiaofeng was in Yingdu, the capital of Chu, and sent people to inquire about the news of Yan State, but he has not yet returned. Although Qu Yuan was activated again, he had been alienated by the king of Chu, depressed, and borrowed wine in the mansion to drown his sorrows, and expressed his sorrows with poems.
Qu Yuan advocates American politics and wrote "Xiangjun" to express his feelings, and his words said:
If you don't do it, who will stay in the Middle Continent?
Beauty should be cultivated, and Pei Wu will take the Gui boat.
Let Yuanxiang have no waves, so that the river flows peacefully.
Looking forward to the future, who thinks about the unevenness?
Fly the dragon to the north, and go to the cave.
Lychee cypress and silk, sunflower and orchid.
Looking at the Yang Xi Jipu, the Heng Da Jiang Xi Yang Ling.
Yang Lingxi is not extreme, and the maid is too restful.
The sideways flow is murmuring, and the contemplation is on the side.
Gui Xi Lan Fang, snow and ice.
Pick the lychee in the water, and pick the hibiscus and the wood powder.
The heart is not the same, and the grace is not very light.
The stone is shallow, and the flying dragon is fluttering.
The disloyalty is long, and the hope is not to be idle.
The stinging is in the Jianggao, and the evening festival is in the north of Zhu.
The birds are on the house, and the water is under the hall.
Donate to the rest of the Juexi River, and leave the rest of Peixi Lipu.
Cai Fangzhou Xi Du Ruo, will be left behind.
Time can not be regained, talk about leisurely and tolerant.
Qu Yuan pinned his political ideals in poetry, Xiangjun is the god of Xiangshui, Chu people are spread as Emperor Shun, Qu Yuan admires Yu Shun, and hopes that the king of Chu can implement beautiful politics like Emperor Shun, but in reality it is impossible to get it.
Xiaofeng heard that Qu Yuan was alienated, so he went to visit, Qu Yuan was angry and sad, and when he saw Xiaofeng coming, he was surprised: "Why is the virtuous brother here?" ”
Xiaofeng told the past, saying that he was temporarily living in Yingdu, Qu Yuan was very happy, and the two drank and talked together.
Xiaofeng's heart was also full of sorrow, and he sighed while drinking, Qu Yuan asked: "Brother Xian sighed this time, for the fall of the homeland and Qin Hu?" ”
Xiaofeng said: "However, the Qin people invaded my hometown, causing me to wander all over the world, and I can't return my home." This hatred and sorrow, if you are not an insider, how can you know? ”
Qu Yuan said: "The virtuous brother is sad for the fall of the old garden to the enemy country, and the sorrow for the brother, can the virtuous brother know?" ”
Xiaofeng said: "I want to hear it." ”
Qu Yuan said: "The state of Chu is located in the south, with a territory of thousands of miles, and there is no one else in the world. After Danyang and Lantian were defeated by Qin, the state of Chu collapsed and the country was weakened. The foolish brother is worried about the heart of the tiger and wolf of the Qin State, and it is difficult to calm down, this time he will take Hanzhong and Danyang, and cut the land of Wuguan, and tomorrow he will take the land of Qianzhong and Hanshui, although the country of Chu is wide, one day the land will be cut off, and the people of Chu will have no place to stand. The foolish brother saw that the king of Chu could not appoint the virtuous, and the country's power was declining, and he was afraid that he would be swallowed up by the Qin state, so he was worried about it. ”
Xiao Feng sighed several times when he heard this, and said to Qu Yuan: "Brother's sorrow is the real worry about the country and the people." The elder brother is in the court of Chu State, and he is a doctor, so he can't do anything about it, not to mention the younger brother's Jianghu cloth? ”
Qu Yuan said angrily: "The situation in the Chu State today, the disaster is all in Zhang Yi. In order to flatter the favor of King Qin, Zhang Yi did not hesitate to harm the world for his own benefit. Now I heard that Zhang Yi was not only hated by the princes of the world, but also intolerable by the Qin people. In order to avoid disasters and protect himself, he has already gone to Wei as a minister, and I don't know what conspiracy and tricks he wants to play to cause trouble to the princes. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Feng also said angrily: "The junior brother only now sees clearly that Zhang Yi is indeed the initiator of the chaos in the world. He is deceitful and cunning, although he is virtuous and talented, he is despised by the world. The younger brother was at the Hanbei Post Station a while ago, and he wanted to get rid of this harm for the world, but because he was a messenger, he didn't want to cause Qin and Chu to fight and make the lives miserable, so he left Zhang Yi's life. However, he went to the Central Plains to lobby the princes, failed to keep his credit, and still used deceitful words to provoke wars and create trouble. The younger brother couldn't bear it anymore, and now he decided to enter the Wei Kingdom alone, thinking that the world would get rid of this thief! ”
When Qu Yuan heard this, he held Xiaofeng's hand and said: "Virtuous brother Jianghu chivalry, with this great righteousness, he can be called a hero." For his brother, he also hates Zhang Yi into the bone marrow. But Zhang Yi is now in the Wei State, heavily guarded, and the virtuous brother goes alone, I am afraid that there will be negligence, which will affect himself, but it is not beautiful. For my brother, I would rather save Zhang Yi in the world, than let my brother suffer an accident because of this. ”
Xiaofeng said: "Brother, don't worry, the younger brother has his own plans for this matter." That Zhang Yi also had several interactions with the younger brother, and the younger brother knew him very well. This time, even if he can't eliminate the harm for the world, the younger brother can retreat with his whole body. ”
Qu Yuan dissuaded Xiao Feng from failing, so he had to compose a poem that had been given to him, and told Xiao Feng: "Brother Xian, rest assured, no matter whether it succeeds or not, this matter should be kept secret for the brother and will not be leaked to others." ”
Xiaofeng thanked him, then said goodbye to Qu Yuan, and went to Daliang of Wei with Ding Hu again.
When Zhu Shen had already gone to Yan Kingdom with King Yan Zhao, his wife was still in Daliang, and Hou Huan helped take care of it. Xiaofeng came to Daliang, met Hou Huan first, and then visited Zhu Shen's wife, Xiaofeng discussed with Hou Huan about the plan to get rid of Zhang Yi.
Hou Huan said: "Zhang Yi has just entered Wei as the prime minister, and the precautions are very strict, if Xiaofeng starts at this time, I am afraid it will not be a good opportunity." It's better to wait and do it. ”
Xiaofeng said: "If this person stays in the world for one more day, he will harm the world more." What is the order of getting rid of thieves for the world? ”
Hou Huan said: "The appearance of the assassin is bound to shock the world, for the brother is not worried about others, what I am worried about is that the virtuous brother is a young man in the world, if he destroys himself for this matter, it is really not worth it." And when my brother heard that Zhang Yi was old and useless, and she was frail and sickly, I am afraid that she would not be happy for a few years. Why should Xiaofeng take the risk himself? ”
Xiaofeng said: "The fall of the younger brother's hometown is all because of this person, and the hatred is not shared. Now there is an arrangement, even if it doesn't work, you can get out of it. So he and Ding Hu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate for a few days, and sure enough, seeing that the precautions were tight and it was difficult to start, Xiaofeng came up with another strategy and prepared to put Zhang Yi to death.
