Chapter 58
Another batch of swords came out of the Sword Casting Hall, and this time Ran Fei personally inspected them. Using two sword coins as an experimental product, the sword that seems to be no different from an ordinary sword not only splits two or two sword coins in half with a sword, but also has no blades and no shortages, which is really a good sword! This sword is the best sword this time, most of the weapons at this time are made of bronze, but the length of the sword has reached more than seventy centimeters, which is already very good, Ran Fei named it Slaying Dragon, and carried it with him.
Ran Fei rewarded the men of the Sword Casting Hall for this. Since there is an enemy Yan State in the north, and Zhao State in the west, which is a country established by force, and now it is winter, although the border area has been fully handed over to Yuan Qi to manage, but Ran Fei has learned the physical properties of matter, and knows that the lower the temperature, the brittleness of the weapon will become, and the service life will be reduced. This issue is a very critical issue, it is related to the lives of soldiers, and it is also related to the security of the north and the country, Ran Fei decided that in addition to slaying the dragon, the rest of the weapons will be transported to the border with the quartermaster troops. Not only that, but also took out a part of the money as a subsidy to send it to the front-line soldiers.
Yuan Qi's people were naturally happy to get such a good weapon. And Ran Fei's move has enhanced his prestige, the officials led by Tian Dan and Xunzi in the court praised Ran Fei in front of King Qi without sparing, King Qi also felt that Ran Fei did the right thing, originally Ran Fei because of the matter of Longquan Mountain, so that King Qi was a little disappointed in him, and demoted him by one level, but now at this critical moment, Ran Fei did very well, so under the protection of Tian Dan and others, Ran Fei was able to resume his original position.
But Ran Fei is very young after all, although Tian Dan and others help him speak, but under the manipulation of Hou Sheng and others, many ministers directly proposed in the court that Ran Fei's power is too great, and if he continues like this, if he wants to rebel, no one will be able to resist his troops.
King Qi is not confused, although he knows that he can't kill ministers at will, but what he said is right, Ran Fei's prestige has already overshadowed himself in the government and the opposition, not only that, but the army is even more obedient to him, if he is the opposite, I am afraid that the troops around him will tie themselves up first.
Therefore, in order to restrict Ran Fei's rights, the king of Qi sent a hundred Praetorian Guards to Jiyang to supervise the army, and on the other hand, he canceled Ran Fei's position as Shangqing and was represented by Lu Zhonglian.
Tian Dan immediately reported: "Since the Battle of Jimo, Ran Fei has been loyal to the Qi country, and he has no two hearts, and this only makes Ran Fei feel cold."
King Qi showed a hesitant face, but Hou Sheng reported again: "If he is really loyal to the Qi State, isn't he just removed from a position, and he doesn't serve the Qi State again?" Our southern marshal Liang Wenbing, when the king was in Lucheng, he was fortunate to have him, Le Yi fought for so long and failed to break through, and he had a meritorious service, and the credit was so high that he only had the position of marshal. ”
When King Qi saw Hou Sheng say this, his originally hesitant face suddenly became firm: "Just do what I said just now!" ”
Originally, Wei Ran heard that Ran Fei was dead, and wanted to leave the baggage troops, march lightly, and unite the Yan army to attack the Qi State, but unexpectedly only three days later, Ran Fei returned to Jiyang, Wei Ran knew that Ran Fei was powerful, and he didn't dare to attack easily, so he had to prepare slowly and carefully. Unexpectedly, when he was getting ready to send troops to the Qi State, he suddenly received that the King of Qi had revoked Ran Fei's position as the secretary of the north. Wei Ran was very happy and immediately entered the palace to meet King Qin.
Wei Ran: "King, we have to give up our plan to attack Qi for the time being!" ”
King Qin was very puzzled, because this plan to attack the Qi State was proposed by him at the beginning, and now that everything was ready, he actually wanted to give it up, so he asked puzzledly: "Why is this?" ”
Wei Ran slowly explained, "Originally, I planned to attack the Qi State, the reason is that the Qi State has many wise ministers, if they are given time to recuperate, then the Qi State may once again be on an equal footing with us, but now, the King of Qi listened to the slander and ignored the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty ministers, and reduced the meritorious officials, which will not only chill the ministers, but also damage the foundation of the Qi State!" I think that as long as there are Hou Sheng, a cadre and so on, they will be above the court of Qi State, and Qi State will be weak if it can't last a few years! At that time, I am afraid that there will be no such thing as a counterattack on the Yan State to regain the lost territory in the Qi State! ”
After listening to this, King Qin kept nodding: "Uncle, you are right, regardless of the opinions of the virtuous ministers, you will go your own way, just like King Qi Min, sooner or later one day will lose the country, I still need more guidance from you to be a wise king!" ”
Wei Ran: "Eh, I'm your uncle, we're a family, what's polite!" ”
At this moment, King Qin was still a milky kid, and when he saw Wei Ran helping him like this, he was very moved, so he almost rushed up to hug him.
Ran Fei lost his position as Shangqing, Zhang Dali and everyone felt very unhappy, not only that, but the more than 100 prison soldiers sent over made Zhang Dali even more unhappy, and he almost fought with them.
These emperors sent the prison army are almost all Hou Sheng's people, they don't do anything for a day, and they always go to the barracks to pick thorns, the official mansion is managed by Lu Zhonglian, Hou Sheng has no enmity with him, so naturally he didn't bother him, but he always looked for Ran Fei's stubble, Ran Fei endured it at first, but later, the chief of the guard actually began to think about the mountain girl, not only always sent people to explore around Ran Fei's mansion, but once went directly over the wall into the backyard, trying to rape the mountain girl, if the brothers hadn't found out in time, The mountain girl didn't have the face to see Ran Fei. Ran Fei was very angry, but the mountain girl grabbed him: "He was sent by the king, so he can't fight hard!" ”
Although Ran Fei didn't mention this matter for the time being, he was planning how to get rid of this scourge in his heart.
On the one hand, Ran Fei wrote to Tian Dan and told him what happened, Tian Dan knew that this person was a henchman in the future, in order not to be noticed, he quietly entered the palace at night to report to the King of Qi, and the King of Qi was very angry when he saw the letter, and immediately ordered Ran Fei to escort the chief of the guard back to Linzi for trial, and if it was true, he would be executed on the spot!
The news spread quickly, and the queen was very anxious, because she had a lot of collusion with this chief of guard, and if he waited for Ran Fei to escort him back, he would definitely threaten himself in a hurry to save his life, and then he would be in danger.
