Chapter 84
Because the Qin State has just experienced several wars and consumed its national strength, it has been honest recently and has not caused any more turmoil, but Wei Ran's idea of trying to attack Qi by crossing Zhao has never been put down. The most troublesome and jealous thing for Wei Ran was the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State, and he tried his best to try to get rid of the Jixia School Palace, but how could the highest school of the Qi State be loose in its defenses? Several schemes were destroyed by Tian Dan and others, and the plan to assassinate Ran Fei also failed, Wei Ran was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
However, because the mother of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, Empress Dowager Xuan, enabled the law of Shang Ying, the Qin State became stronger and stronger, and all countries could not compete with it alone, and Korea, Chu, Yan and other countries all married and formed alliances with it in order not to be attacked by the Qin State. Although the Qi State was hostile to Wei Ran, after all, it was separated by a powerful Zhao State, and the Qin State was helpless. Ran Fei saw the strength of the legal system through the actual strength of the Qin State, and decided to play the king of Qi and began to govern the country according to the law, however, because of the obstruction of the Hou family and the unwillingness of the king of Qi to give up the privileges in the hands of himself and his family, he vetoed it.
Moreover, because the country was still in the recovery stage, the king of Qi began to pay normal taxes, which caused the lives of the people to drop a lot all of a sudden. The benefits of privilege made the King of Qi reluctant to carry out any more legal reforms, and for the appointment of personnel, he no longer cared about the opinions of Tian Dan and the crown prince as before, but carried out a large-scale blood change of the imperial court at the suggestion of his close attendant Wang Quan. And most of the people who were replaced were those who supported the prince and Tian Dan, and Ran Fei knew that Wang Quan was the person of the Hou family.
Although the proportion of the Hou family in the court has not changed much, there are many fewer people in Tiandan and the prince, which makes the prince very distressed and confused, but the prince is the prince after all, and the power is still in the hands of the king of Qi, and the prince can only complain in private.
However, half a year later, as the crown prince became more and more supported and loved by the people under the guidance of Tian Dan and Ran Fei, the king of Qi became more and more distrustful of the prince under the instigation of the prince threat theory of royal power.
And then the family also made a stumbling block, sowing discord, as the prestige of the prince became higher and higher, Qi Wang Yuejia was afraid that the prince would take his place, and this sense of crisis gradually deepened, and two years later, finally. When Bai Qi attacked Zhao again, Qi was ready to send troops to the rescue, and when the crown prince and most of the officials were raising Ran Fei on the issue of who would lead the troops, the king of Qi was furious. Because at this moment, Ran Fei's strength in the north is already the strongest, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or personnel quality, the troops in other parts of the Qi country cannot match, and the prince and Ran Fei are in the same party, if the military power is handed over to Ran Fei, the king of Qi feels that Ran Fei will definitely seize the throne by armed force under the instruction of the prince.
King Qi's distrust of his son has been exposed at this moment.
The prince was not only scolded unwarrantedly above the court, but also handed over the matter of military power to Liang Wenbing in the south. The prince was scolded for no reason, and his heart was naturally unhappy, and he scolded the king of Qi a few bad words after returning home, but he was heard by the people arranged by the queen family in the prince's mansion and reported to the king of Qi. At this moment, King Qi has become very narrow and selfish, he only has himself in his heart, and he doesn't even care whether the prince is his son or not.
And the king of Qi, who was afraid of the crown prince, trusted the royal power even more under the comfort of the royal power.
Bai Qi's power is known to the world, but after he captured the light wolf city of Zhao, he thought that the joint confrontation between Qi and Zhao could not enter the slightest, and finally had to withdraw because the supply line was too long.
At this moment, the prince's sword fell off, and he couldn't find it after looking for a long time in the mansion.
Half a month later, above the court, Liang Wenbing took the talisman and entered the palace, and King Qi was very happy. Liang Wenbing took the talisman but did not mean to return it to the King of Qi, and he also led people to hold all the soldiers in the court hostage, and the King of Qi said angrily: "Liang Wenbing, what do you want to do?" Rebellion? ”
Liang Wenbing smiled: "Don't dare!" But ......"
King Qi: "But what? ”
The head of the Hou family suddenly appeared behind King Qi, stabbed King Qi in the chest with the prince's sword, and then shouted: "This is the prince's sword, the prince murdered the king of Qi!" ”
Liang Wenbing hugged his fists at the head of the Hou family and said: "The prince plotted to kill the king of Qi, and his subordinates will arrest him!" ”
The head of the Hou family nodded: "Hmm! To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”
Liang Wenbing: "Understood! ”
The prince's mansion was surrounded by the royal guards, and Liang Wenbing shouted: "The prince sent someone to murder the king of Qi, the prince's sword is evidence, in the name of the queen, arrest the prince, if there is any resistance, kill him!" If anyone comes to see the head of the prince, there will be a great reward! ”
The completely confused prince knew that no matter what happened today, as long as he fell into their hands, it would be a dead end, so he calmed down and said to his subordinates: "The only way for us at present is to spit out the siege and go to the north to find Ran Fei, as long as we find Ran Fei, he will definitely clear my grievances and return my innocence, when my father is dead, I will be the king of Qi!" Those of you who follow me are all heroes of my Qi country! Will you swear to follow me? ”
Hundreds of the prince's guests said in unison: "Yes!" ”
Prince: "Good! Let's go! ”
Because of Ran Fei's help, the prince's weapons and armor were the best for him and the doormen, but although the weapons and armor of the Praetorian Guards were inferior to them, they had the advantage of having more people, and a bloody battle broke out on both sides, and many people in the city were also affected by this. However, the prince still had people in the court who followed him desperately, and under the protection of these people, the prince desperately broke through the city gate and headed north.
At this moment, Ran Fei was holding a wedding with Miss Shan, received a carrier pigeon from Linzi, opened it, smiled, summoned Zhang Dali, and whispered a few words, Zhang Dali had to order him to go out, and left with dozens of subordinates, everyone was curious, Ran Fei said: "It's okay, something is wrong!" I'll let Zhang Dali solve it! Let's drink to your heart's content! ”
As soon as everyone heard the trivial matter, they all raised their wine glasses and drank to their heart's content, Ran Fei glanced at Yuan Qi and asked him to drink less to discuss big things, Yuan Qi nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time signaled to the military advisor to let him drink less wine.
Six hours later, Ran Fei's troops stationed in the south were all under the control of Zhang Dali's hands, and at this moment, it was getting late, and Ran Fei's guests had all left to go home, except Yuan Qi and the military advisor and the brothers of Jiulong Mountain stayed.
Ran Fei pulled out his long sword and stuck it on the table: "Brothers, the Linzi coup, the king of Qi has been killed by the Hou family and framed the prince, the time has come for us to raise our troops!" ”
Yuan Qi said: "What do you want us to do!" You said! ”
Ran Fei said: "Big brother, you and the military advisor are stationed in Jiyang and control all the officials who are not us, including Lu Zhonglian and Tian Ba!" You go now! ”
Yuan Qi: "Okay! You can rest assured! ”
Ran Fei: "You do things, I don't worry!" ”
