Three months later, Chang'an, Taiji Temple.

Fu Jian's face no longer has any expression, Wang Meng's death, as if he has taken away his soul, in just three months, his hair has changed from black before, to gray, this Great Qin Heavenly King in his early forties, at this time, looks like an old man in his last years, no wonder, since the death of Wang Meng, who is also a senior brother, he has not thought about tea and dinner in the past few months, and almost the whole person is about to collapse.

Fu Rong stood up and said loudly: "Heavenly King, Wang Lugong is gone, but Daqin is still there, and the thousands of people of Daqin are still there, please cheer up and continue to lead us to create a great cause!" ”

Fu Jian's lips trembled slightly, and he slowly looked at Fu Rong: "Yang Pinggong, if there is anything, you can do it, Gu is in a very chaotic mood now, and he doesn't want to care about these things, give Gu a little time, let Gu calm down." ”

Fu Rong shook his head: "This matter must be handled by the Heavenly King!" I don't have the right to do it! ”

Fu Jian closed his eyes and muttered, "Is it still a rebellion against Wang Pi, the son of Prime Minister Wang?" Because he didn't attack his father's title, and Prime Minister Wang didn't ask his sons and nephews for an official and a half knight before he died, he would plot a rebellion in anger, Yang Pinggong, what do you think should be done? ”

Fu Rong hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "The state has national laws, although Prime Minister Wang Cheng has made great contributions to the country, but the rebellion of his descendants is a great rebellion, if he is not severely punished according to law, the majesty of the legal system established by Prime Minister Wang Cheng himself will be gone." The minister thought that with the great contribution of Prime Minister Wang to the country, he could not be connected with other Wang sons and nephews, but Wang Pi and other comrades should be exterminated! ”

Murong Chui stood up and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

In addition to him, more than a dozen courtiers also came out to second.

Fu Jian's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "That's it, Wang Pi's rebellion is just an attempt, and it has not yet formed a substantial harm. ”

"Wang Pi rebelled, to put it bluntly, because he didn't get an official position and title, and he was unhappy in his heart. Prime Minister Wang Cheng has made indelible contributions to the country, but Lone has not been able to let his children and grandchildren enjoy glory and wealth, and Lone's descendants can be ranked among the kings without size, no wonder Wang Pi is dissatisfied. Let's spare his life this time. ”

Fu Rong nodded and said, "The king of heaven is benevolent, and all the people admire him." The whole family of the prime minister of the king and the prime minister thank you for your great kindness! ”

Fu Jian sat up straight, and at this moment his face regained the majesty and fortitude of an emperor, he looked at Fu Rong, and said slowly: "Exile Wang Pi to Shuofang County, Saiwai, and the other princes and nephews will not ask, in addition, appoint Wang Yong, the eldest son of Prime Minister Wang, who did not rebel this time, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and inherit the title of Prime Minister Wang." ”

After Fu Jian said this, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Murong Chui: "General Murong, what is the movement in the south?" The last time the army was abandoned halfway, did the Jin Kingdom have any reaction? ”

Murong Chui shook his head: "Last time, because of the dispatch of Great Qin's army, Shi Huan Chong, the assassin of Jingzhou of the Jin Kingdom, was very nervous, and he also requisitioned 100,000 troops to prepare for confrontation. Later, our army did not advance because of internal affairs, and the Jin army took the opportunity to attack and plunder the Han River, and the area around the water was swept away, and tens of thousands of households were taken captive. Because the troops on the border of our army did not receive the order of the Heavenly King, they could only hold on without a fight and failed to attack. ”

A trace of anger flashed in Fu Jian's eyes: "Thief, robber!" Huan Chong deceived people too much! ”

Fu Rong Zhengse said: "Heavenly King, please don't forget Prime Minister Wang's last words, for the Jin Kingdom, you still have to keep peace as your precious, and don't use swords and soldiers!" ”

Fu Jian gritted his teeth and said: "Huan Chong's talent, compared to his brother Huan Wen, is far behind, but he still dares to attack my Great Qin, why?" Isn't it just bullying our country's new lost pillars and wanting to take advantage? Last time they tried to collude with Fu Luo and Fu Lang to attack my Central Plains, Lone has endured it once, this time it has to be an inch, if it is not punished, then the Jin people will organize a large army to the Northern Expedition, this time I didn't say it, it must be severely punished! ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Fu Pi who was standing on the side, and said in a deep voice: "The Jin army on the Eastern Front, is there any movement?" ”

Fu Pi is a young man in his early thirties, as Fu Jian's eldest son, he is still the child born to Fu Jian and the maid, so in the Qin State, the status of this prince with good ability is very delicate, this southern expedition is also the first time he led the army to the expedition, full of thought that he could make meritorious contributions, but he didn't expect such a result, but as soon as he heard his father's inquiry, he immediately said: "The Jin Kingdom looks like the contradiction between Jingzhou and Yangzhou is very deep, and the son thinks that we have a good chance!" ”

Fu Jian's eyebrows raised: "What chance?" ”

Fu Pi Zhengse said: "This time when our army was preparing for the southern expedition, only Huan Chong of Jingzhou sent troops to resist, and the eastern front, from Jiankang to the Jin army in the Lianghuai region, did not show any signs of mobilization, only Xie Xuan, who was the governor of the five states of the military, issued a decree to recruit troops and recruit new soldiers. ”

Fu Rong's brows furrowed: "Changle Gong (Fu Pi's title), military affairs, you still have to be cautious, the information I got is that Xie Xuan recruited most of the displaced people and veterans in the Lianghuai area, these people were all from the north to the south back then, experienced in a hundred battles, far from being comparable to ordinary people." This trend is actually more disturbing than Huan Chong's 100,000 army. ”

Fu Pi smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, Xie Xuan is just a disciple of a high family, he only knows how to talk about Xuan, how can he understand military affairs?" In the previous Northern Expeditions of the Jin Kingdom, which child of a family could control these fierce homeless handsome? In the end, it was often the failure of the Northern Expedition by himself, but the civil strife first. It's General Yao, didn't your brother leave Jin and join Qin like this back then? As he spoke, he smiled and looked at a medium-sized Qiang general in his forties, dressed in leather robes and armor, standing in the middle.

This person's surname is Yao Mingchang, is the leader of the Qiang people, when his brother Yao Xiang was brave and invincible, dominating the world, first defected to the Shizhao Empire, and then the north was in turmoil, and returned to the Jin in the south, but was rejected by the children of the family, rebelled against the Jin again during the Northern Expedition, and wanted to enter Guanzhong to stand on his own, but was killed by the general of the Qin State, Fu Huangmei, Yao Chang and other clansmen also returned to the Qin State, because his people were cunning and wise, like fox wolves, and the Qiang people were numerous, even Fu Jian was afraid of them.

Yao Chang smiled slightly: "What Changle Gong said is, how can those high-ranking disciples of the Jin Kingdom fight?" Even Corporal Lixian couldn't do it. What they can really fight is the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou, the king of heaven, as long as Huan Chong is defeated, then the world of the Jin Kingdom is within reach! ”
