Chapter 2 King Qin Zhaoxiang abolished the Empress Dowager and the Four Guis
There have long been scouts of the Qin State, and they have found out the news that Zhao Huiwen Wang Yong, the new king succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Zhao was in charge. Left Handan overnight, returned to Xianyang, and reported to Fan Ju. Fan Ju got the news, entered the palace, and informed Qin Wangji.
Qin Wangji was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Zhao He is dead, and the widow is worry-free." Zhao He is also a hero, and he has defeated the widow many times. Zhao He's kid is gone, how can the widow give him a gift. β
Fan Ju Mingrui's nose smelled the smell of war and asked, "The king plans to send troops to attack Zhao?" β
"Not bad." Qin Wangji trusted him quite a lot, regarded him as a confidant, and did not hide his intentions, and said with firm eyes, "Zhao Guo has changed the master, and the new monarch is young and has no virtue. The hearts of the Zhao people were scattered, and the sand was scattered. At this time, don't cut Zhao, but when. β
Fan Ju did not cater to the King of Qin, and said dissuasively: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to kill Zhao. β
Seeing that he did not approve of attacking Zhao, Qin Wangji asked with a gloomy expression, "Why can't you attack Zhao?" β
Fan Ju looked at King Qin's gaze and said in a calm tone: "Although Zhao He died, he left Zhao Wang Dan with many military generals. In the current Zhao State, there are Ping Yuanjun, Lin Xiangru, Yu Qing and others; Wu has Ma Fujun, Lian Po, Le Cheng and others. We will raise troops to attack Zhao, and these people will definitely work together to assist the new monarch. The king, cut Zhao, can't be hasty. β
"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that he was not obedient to his wishes, Qin Wangji said slightly angrily: "Do you think that the Qin State cannot win against the Zhao State, and the outnumbered people are not as good as the vertical sons." β
Seeing that the king was angry, Fan Ju hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that. β
King Qin stared into his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?" β
Fan Ju withstood the pressure of King Qin and asked rhetorically: "Not to mention, my country will defeat Zhao, how will the victory or defeat." Wang Shanghua Zhao, whether it can be implemented, is still unknown. β
When King Qin heard what he said, he snorted heavily and shouted, "What do you mean by this?" β
Fan Ju knelt on the ground with a thud and bowed: "Minister, don't dare to say." β
King Qin said angrily: "The widow let you speak." β
Fan Ju thought about it and didn't know how to speak, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." β
King Qin said: "Between you and me, there is nothing that can not be said. β
"Minister, these words are a great rebellion, and there is also a suspicion of dividing the king and the queen mother." Fan Ju raised his tone and said: "However, the minister's lonely heart is all for the king's great cause. β
Qin Wangji said in a deep voice: "For the great cause of the widow? β
Seeing the situation in front of him, Fan Ju plucked up his courage and said loudly: "Minister, advise the king, abolish the queen mother, and chase the four nobles." β
"What did you say?" When King Qin heard this, his heart was unsteady and he took a few steps back.
Fan Ju said sharply: "The ministers admonished the king, abolish the queen mother, and chase the four nobles." β
"That's enough." Qin Wangji didn't hear what he said clearly, but what he said this represented, and asked, "Do you know what you mean by saying these words." This is a great crime of killing the head. You will not be afraid that the widow will kill you. β
"If you dare to say it, you are not afraid of death." Fan Ju said proudly: "Minister, escaped from the death of Wei and went into exile in Qin, fortunately the king knew about it, so he could stand in a high hall." Minister, in order to repay the king's kindness, even if it is death, there are some things that must be said. β
Qin Wangji stabilized his mind from the panic, raised his hand and said, "You are not even afraid of death, what are you afraid of?" Say whatever you want! Your words will not convince the widow. Hugh blames the widow for showing no mercy to you. β
Fan Ju raised his voice: "If the minister dares to say it, he is ready to die." My death can allow the king to stabilize his foundation for thousands of years, and die without regrets. β
"Say it! Why do you want to abolish the queen mother and chase the four expensive. Do you know what these people represent and what they symbolize? King Qin sat on the ground, ready for the onslaught of his words.
Fan Ju didn't know what these people represented and what they symbolized. He also knew what the King of Qin was worried about and what he was afraid of, "Your Majesty, when the minister was in the State of Qi, he only heard about Meng Weijun Tianwen, but did not know King Min of Qi. I only heard of Anping Jun Tiandan, but I didn't know King Qixiang. β
"Whether it is Meng Weijun, King Qi Min, or An Pingjun, King Qi Xiang. The names and deeds of these people are not known to the widow. Qin Wangji changed his words and asked coldly: "What do you have to do with the widow abolishing the queen mother and chasing the four nobles?" β
Fan Ju didn't know if King Qin didn't understand, or if he deliberately pretended not to understand, and said: "How similar is the current Qin State and the Qi State. The monarchs, ministers, people, and merchants of the Qin State only knew the queen mother and the four nobles, but they did not know the king. β
When Qin Wangji heard this, he was furious and shouted: "You don't want to talk nonsense. The rivers and mountains of the Qin State are outnumbered. β
Seeing that the king didn't believe it, Fan Ju shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not me talking nonsense. If the king does not believe it, he can ask the minister and find out. Minister, if there is half a lie, I wish the car to crack to thank the people. β
Fan Ju's words, Qin Wangji didn't understand. The world of Qin seems to be his, but his decrees are constrained everywhere. It's just that he deliberately pretended to be confused and chose to turn a blind eye. Whether it is the Queen Mother or the Four Guis, as long as what they do does not threaten his throne or endanger the Qin State, he can choose to turn a blind eye.
However, Fan Ju's words woke up Qin Wangji. Some things, if you don't choose to turn a blind eye, it's really fine. The power of the Queen Mother and the Four Nobles has long surpassed him, the king. King Qin wanted to do it, but he didn't dare to do it, and no one reminded him to do it. Today, Fan Ju's words made him understand that there are some things that must be done.
Fan Ju said that Qin Wangji wanted to hear but couldn't hear it, wanted to do it but didn't dare to do it, "The widow will believe you. What else do you want to say. β
Fan Ju saw that the king's tone was soft, obviously the king listened to what he said, but he didn't dare to make a decision. One is that the king is jealous of the power of the queen mother and the four nobles; the second is that the king is not ruthless enough, and he remains benevolent; Third, the King of Qin did not have the courage and courage.
Since Fan Ju said these things that should not be said, he had to force King Qin to make a decision. Even if King Qin didn't kill him, he was learned by the Queen Mother and Sigui that he would never have a chance to live.
Fan Ju's voice was fierce, and he reprimanded loudly: "Minister, I implore the king to abolish the queen mother, chase the four nobles, and return the Qin country to a prosperous world." β
Qin Wangji thought for a long time, and asked in a low tone: "The Queen Mother and the four nobles have contributed to the Qin State. How can you think that the Queen Mother and the Four Guis will endanger the widow and cause chaos to the Qin State. β
Fan Ju replied frustratedly: "The Queen Mother and the four nobles are famous, and the prestige of the king is far beyond reach. The minister heard a lot of rumors, saying that the world of Qin was owned by the queen mother and the four nobles, and had nothing to do with the king. If there is no queen mother and four nobles in the Qin State, there will be no king, and the Qin State will have died long ago by the princes. β
Qin Wangji remembered that when Ji Jun's rebellion, the queen mother supported Gongzi Fu and the queen Hui and Empress Wu supported Gongzi Zhuang. At that time, he was still lonely and helpless, thousands of miles away in the bitter cold Yan country. If it weren't for the help of King Zhao Wuling and King Yan Zhao, he would indeed not have become the king of Yan Kingdom.
He became the king of Qin, and he was also constrained by the queen mother and the four nobles everywhere. The decree cannot come out of his hands. He didn't know that he was a puppet king. However, he also tried for the kingship, but failed. If he is not 100% sure, he will never draw a line with the Queen Mother. King Qin was fledgling and chose forbearance. More than 40 years have passed since this forbearance.
Fan Ju saw the hatred in King Qin's eyes, and gave King Qin a fatal blow: "The State of Qin only knows the Queen Mother, but not the King. Could it be that the king is willing to become the king of Qi Min and the king of Qi Xiang? β
'I only know the Queen Mother, but I don't know the King of Qin'. These eight words hit King Qin's heart. However, King Qin thought for a little and replied: "The Queen Mother is the widow's mother, Jingyang Jun and Gao Lingjun are the widow's younger brothers, and the Marquis and Huayangjun are the widow's uncles. They are all widows, and widows can't do it. β
"The Marquis, Huayangjun, Gaolingjun, and Jingyangjun are powerful in the Qin State. The Queen Mother is even more in the Qin State, and no one can match her. The king thought of family affection and was kind to the queen mother and the four nobles. But the king could not continue to indulge them. Fan Ju stopped and said: "King Zhao Wuling is so majestic, his achievements far surpass Qi Heng and Jin Wen, and the princes of the world dare not compare." However, because of family affection, he was used by the rebellious ministers Li Dui and Gongzi Cheng, which led to a coup d'Γ©tat in the sand dunes, and the two sons killed each other. King Zhao Wuling is so great, but he was punished. β
The exploits of King Zhao Wuling are indeed exciting. It was also in that era that the pride of men was not sought after by everyone. Qin Wangji worshipped King Wuling of Zhao and also wanted to establish his merits. However, no one thought that King Zhao Wuling would be so miserable in his later years because of a love word.
Since Qin Wangji succeeded to the throne, he mediated the Empress Dowager, the Eastern Expedition to the Three Jins, the expedition to the Qi State, the southern attack on the Chu State, and the Northern Death of the Yiqu. However, after all, his exploits cannot be compared with King Zhao Wuling.
Qin Wangji thought about what would happen to him after the death of King Zhao Wuling.
Seeing that the king did not speak, Fan Ju further said: "The deeds of King Zhao Wuling are not far away, and the king must not forget. If the king doesn't care about the queen mother and others, a hundred years later, he will endanger his descendants. β
Qin Wangji was thinking about the power in his hand on the one hand, and taking care of his family affection on the other side, which really made him indecided, and said in a pale and weak tone: "They are all widowed relatives, do you want to kill relatives in the righteousness of widows?" β
Fan Ju saw through King Qin's intentions, and also knew what the king wanted and feared most, and strengthened the offensive and said: "If the king doesn't want to be said to be a puppet king in a hundred years. The king will prove that the kingdom of Qin is yours. If the king wants to prove himself, he must grasp the power of life and death, make arbitrary decisions, and control the situation. β
Qin Wangji gritted his teeth, unable to make a decision, and was silent.
Seeing that the king did not interrupt him, Fan Ju continued: "The queen mother and the four nobles are powerful, if they collude with each other, even if the king can spend his old age in peace, it will definitely be a disaster for his descendants." β
"You said, the widow doesn't know. The widow is over sixty years old, how much time is left? Qin Wangji thought of his own country, and his descendants could not inherit it, and his eyes gradually showed murderous anger, "The widow does not do anything to the queen mother and the four nobles, one of them is unbearable; The second is that the Queen Mother and the four nobles are powerful. For the sake of the descendants will not be worse than the disaster, the widow can't take care of it so much. β
Fan Ju saw that King Qin said what was in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The minister just wants to ask, whether the king is for the sake of the great cause of the thousand years, for the sake of the descendants Antai, abolish the queen mother, and chase the four nobles." β
King Qin's tone was not high, but his attitude was resolute, and he was even more unquestionable, "Yes." For the sake of the great cause, for the sake of the descendants, the widow is willing to abolish the queen mother and chase the four nobles. Would you like to help the widowed? β
When Fan Ju heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Minister, never give up." May I help the king, build a great cause, and pass it on to our descendants. β
"Okay." Qin Wangji's eyes became more and more murderous, and he said decisively: "You and I will work together, abolish the Queen Mother, chase the four nobles, and return my Great Qin to a bright and prosperous world." β
Fan Ju bowed and bowed, took out the plan he had prepared, and bowed down and handed it to King Qin. Qin Wangji took the bamboo slip and slowly opened it. The bamboo slips are clean and neat, and the handwriting is vigorous and strong. I saw that it was written on it to abolish the Queen Mother, and the strategy of chasing the four nobles.
"Good, good, good. You are worthy of being the widow's minister, and you have done your best to give advice to the widow. With this plan, the widow has confidence. Qin Wangji read it again, and over again, he couldn't put it down, "No matter how people in the world look at the widows." and every widow shall be a true king. β
