Chapter 70: The Emperor's Edict
Qin and Chu are separated from Xianyang, it can be said that they are in the Central Plains, and without Qin, they are not afraid of Chu, but in this place, that is, the Nanyue Kingdom, what is hoarded here is the elite division of the Qin State, and the Qin army here is definitely not the group of prisoners who cultivated Li Mountain led by Zhang Han and Wang Li.
Flashback ......
It is said that a group of prisoners led by Zhang Han and Wang Li were temporarily mobilized to send troops, and when Qin II Hu Hai was in power, due to the increase in the severity of various Qin laws, the peasant uprising movement was forced to break out, and the peasant rebel army of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang was also the first time in Chinese history, the first largest peasant uprising broke out......
In Xianyang City, the Great Qin Palace, Qin II Hu Hai just finished the funeral of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, and then ushered in the registration of the new emperor, dressed in military uniform, immature face, at this time there is a strategist Li Si to pay respects: "My king, now the peasant rebel army is just a rabble, as long as the Qin general Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son are dispatched, they will be able to easily quell this chaos"
After hearing the words, Wang Jian had a helpless expression, and then responded: "The old man is already old, and the emperor has given permission to the old minister to go into hiding, and now he is calling the old man out of the mountain, I'm afraid something is wrong."
In fact, Wang Jian is an understanding person, since Fusu was eliminated, and Meng Tian was put into the prison, there is no need for this court to stay, because staying is also a life of nine deaths, today's court, Zhao Gao and Li Si hold power, as long as they are more capable courtiers, they will definitely die, victory is also death, defeat is death, in this case, it is better to be free in the world.
But now that the Qin State is in difficulty, you are a strong minister, how can you not use it again, after thinking twice, Li Si said: "Qin dominates the world, the six countries are one, the general is indispensable, when my emperor is in need, shouldn't the general go out of the mountain, assist the Son of Heaven, and stabilize the people?"
Li Si's little measure, as Wang Jian who has worked with the dynasty for a while, how can he continue to listen to his words in response.
But at this time, Zhao Gao spoke: "General Wang Jian is so powerful, he actually spread the news of fake death in the countryside, we thought it was true, now if it is not for the old general's son Wang Ben as a bait, the old general's death is still a mystery through the ages."
Looking at it with confidence, Zhao Gao and Li Si are the same dog, the two of them don't have a good thing, if the two are tightly united, it will definitely be unfavorable to the future of Daqin, and the two will not be divided, I don't know how many loyal ministers will be persecuted in the future, anyway, no matter how much, divide the two first.
Wang Jian smiled, and then said, "Can Li Xiangguo guarantee my life and my son's life?" β
"Of course" Zhao Gao spoke, and Wang Jian pointed at Zhao Gao and said, "I didn't ask you, eunuch"
Although Zhao Gao made waves in the court, he did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's name and play heroes in the court, and when he said this, he saw Zhao Gaoqi's face flushed, and then Wang Jian changed the topic and said to Li Si: "Li Xiangguo, you and I are both important ministers of the court, only you and I have the right to speak, right?" β
Li Si and Zhao Gao can be said to be equally divided in the court at the moment, Wang Jian and the old ministers spoke, and the other ministers responded, and Li Si originally wanted to squeeze out Zhao Gao to monopolize the power, this is good, above the court, Li Si's face is full, this moment, Li Si's expression, instantly can not find the feeling of the north, for many years, Qu people, always angry, now there are important ministers to push themselves, what a beautiful thing.
Of course, Li Si is not stupid, knowing that Wang Jian wants to divide the relationship between himself and Zhao Gao, but for the smart Li Si, this is the best of both worlds, think about it carefully, the old minister Wang Jian called on the ministers to top Li Si, as the old minister of the dynasty, the emperor will obey the words of the authoritative minister, so as to share the same hatred with the ministers.
Therefore, Li Si thinks that sooner or later there will be a split between himself and Zhao Gao, so very good, it seems that Li Si is willing to plan under Wang Qian's discord.
So Li Si smiled and said: "Ben Xiangguo promised you"
Looking at Li Si's smug smile, for a while, Zhao Gao put his inner dissatisfaction with Wang Jian on Li Si's head, and then Zhao Gao smiled on the surface: "Yes, now that the emperor has just succeeded to the throne, many things have to be thought about by Xiangguo."
Li Si glanced at Zhao Gao, and then said: "General Wang Jian has a good plan, just say it."
At this time, Zhao Gao looked at Li Si with a smirk, and his inner thoughts were extremely rich: "Okay, you Li Si, let's help the new emperor ascend the throne wholeheartedly, so soon you kick your nose in the face and show me your face?" Unite the old ministers to attack me? Want to leave me alone and take power to myself? No wonder you dig three feet into the ground to find Wang Qian, it turns out that you are all officials in the same dynasty, everyone has an old relationship, in Wang Qian's eyes, I am a eunuch, it's not a big deal, you are really good"
Li Si discussed with Wang Jian and important ministers the strategy of quelling the civil strife, hoping that Wang Jian and Wang Ben father and son would lead the troops, and at this time, Wang Jian proposed that the way of the army fighting in the opposition was particularly emphasized, not to attack head-on, to mix inside, pretend to be a rebel army, and then after integrating all the information, the method of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle was wiped out.
In the eyes of Li Si and the new emperor, this is a good strategy and can be regarded as excellent, but what Zhao Gao is thinking about is how to get rid of Li Si and take power by himself.
"Li Si, I must let you step down, otherwise everything I have saved by Zhao Gao will be lost, I can't lose, absolutely can't!" Zhao Gao thought in his heart, and was ready to plan how to get rid of Li Si, of course, before that, he had to take power first.
In the evening, in Wang Qian's temporary mansion, Wang Jian discussed with his son Wang Ben, with the housekeeper Xuan Chen by his side.
Wang Jian looked at his son and burst into tears, in fact, Wang Ben knelt on the ground and said: "Father, forgive your son for being useless and failing to protect the emperor."
"What have you done? Zhao Gao was scheming and gave the emperor poison that harmed his body for a long time, who could prevent it? β
"How is it good now"
"Now only Li Si and Zhao Gao will deal with it themselves, and other things will be thought about slowly in the future."
"Father, what do you think will happen to them next?"
"Gongzi Fusu is the successor of the emperor's personal order, and he has asked his father many times, and now Gongzi Fusu cannot succeed to the throne, but the emperor's most disdainful son Hu Hai will succeed to the throne, so the future of the Great Qin Empire is really hard to say" Wang Jian meant, Wang Ben seems to understand, but at the moment, Wang Jian pays the most attention to his son can live here, because, Wang Jian decided to use his last years to fight with the two traitorous ministers, at this time, Zhao Gao visited late at night.
Wang Jian said calmly: "It must be for the sake of the DPRK and China supporting him or Li Si."
"How's it going to be right now?" Wang Ben asked.
Wang Jian told his son to avoid the limelight for the time being, and asked the housekeeper Xuan Chen to take Wang Ben to the backyard first.
Zhao Gao visited with a smile on his face, and then there were various gifts: "Old general, I came late at night, I was disturbed"
Wang Jian responded: "Morning visits are all state affairs, and night visits are family affairs, so why bother"
"Hey...... The old general is really a person who understands righteousness," Zhao Gao made a thumbs-up gesture, and then ordered his subordinates to give several precious treasures to Yu Wang Qian.
After Wang Jian saw it, his face did not change: "If you have something to say, since you came late at night and talked about family affairs, why should you be too polite?" β
"It's not a secret...... This" Zhao Gao said unspeakably.
Then Wang Jian responded: "The ministers of the court support you, and stay away from Li Si? β
"Oh, I said, old general, what you said, Master Li and I are both loyal to the emperor, and I am Zhao Gao ...... this."
"Okay" Seeing Zhao Gao's face, Wang Jian couldn't bear it, so he said straight to the point: "One, let go of my son, two, I want a peerless treasure"
"The general said that it was okay, Lingzi must be fine"
"Qin Shi Huang has a sword in his hand that commands the world and is full of imperial energy"
"Imperial Sword?"
"Yes, Qin Emperor Sword"
"What does the general want the imperial sword for?"
"The old man is a martial artist, according to legend, this Qin Wang sword is used by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor to kill Chi You, that is, full of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's wisdom, and sprinkled with the blood of the god of war Chi You, as a military general, loyal to the weapon of the sincere Zhao Lord should understand" After Wang Jian spoke, Zhao Gao thought to himself: "The old guy who has no prospects, but it is just a broken copper and iron, how much you want, Zhao Gao will give you as much as you want, what is this, as long as Li Si is eradicated, I Zhao Gao monopolizes the power, hum, just a sword, what is it"
Just when the topic entered the critical moment, they only heard a terrifying shout from outside the house, the two hurriedly went out, and saw a burning man lying on the ground, and was very painfully scorched, and Wang Jian ran over, from the silver bracelet in the burning man's hand Wang Jian saw that it was Wang Ben's corpse, accompanied by a letter, called to accept.
"Father, the child is unfilial, humiliating the mission, in fact, it was Li Si who assassinated the emperor, if you don't get rid of Li Si, I'm afraid that the future of Great Qin will also be in danger"
After looking at the letter, Wang Jian gritted his teeth and said, "Li Si, you! The old man will definitely not let you go! β
The letter was handed to Zhao Gao's hand, and Zhao Gao laughed out with a wicked smile, Zhao Gao calculated in his heart: "Wang Qian's stupid son, he actually used the trick of self-immolation, he wanted me to let go of his father, hehe, he openly teased me Zhao Gao in court, do you think that if you help me Zhao Gao with death, I will let your father go?" Anyway, trip Li Si first, and then settle accounts with Lao Wang Qian."
People say that the most poisonous woman's heart, and the eunuch is more vicious than the woman, of course, in the face of the power game, it is difficult for everyone to live in peace, so now, a big coup d'Γ©tat in the Qin State has kicked off.
Eight hundred miles of fast riding, flying pigeons to pass the book, the north and south Qin army received the designation, is the general Wang Jian passed on, and is the last order of Qin Wangzheng, of course, the successful delivery of the letter, or in his son Wang Ben, in the moment when Wang Jian wept bitterly, in fact, Wang Jian arranged it early in the morning, let the loyal and honest housekeeper Xuan Chen, pretend to be Wang Ben and die, after the fire, unrecognizable, at the scene, Wang Ben to the retainers three times, for the future of the Chinese nation, the north and the south are unshakable, Qin Shi Huang's will, but need to consolidate the will, Therefore, Wang Ben is the best executor, and the loyalty of the retainers and the strategy of Wang Jian have also achieved this.
Above the court, Li Si was isolated, Wang Jian assisted Zhao Gao to successfully eliminate Li Si, and then, Wang Jian returned to the mansion.
At this time, Zhao Gao led a team of people to Wang Qian's mansion, preparing to do the final cutting and eradication.
Flashback......
At this time, in Mobei, the commander of the Qin army, the prince appeared, and led the 600,000 Zhenbei troops of the Great Qin Empire to stabilize the north, and the Xiongnu went south many times and had to return, which was no less powerful than the Qin army in the north of Mengtian.
A report came: "General Qiyu, the Western Chu army has attacked the south"
I saw the prince and said in his heart: "At that time, if it wasn't for my father Wang Qian's divisive plan, where would the Western Chu army have a chance now, the south and the north are the foundation of the Chinese nation, Xiang Yu, you are too nonsense" After thinking deeply, the prince turned around.
It turned out that Wang Ben appeared in front of us.
