PS: There was a change at the end of the previous chapter, and the scene was changed, which did not affect the big plot. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

……

In the side hall of the palace, the atmosphere was a little tense in vain.

"Since the King of Qi asked, the foreign ministers have heard of Zhang Lu."

Because he couldn't figure out what King Qi meant by suddenly mentioning the prime minister of Qin, Pingyuan Jun could only see the move and continue to talk.

"Marquis Wei Ran and Huayang Jun Mi Rong are the younger brothers of the Empress Dowager Mi, the mother of King Qin, while Jingyang Jun and Gao Lingjun are the sons of the Empress Dowager Mi and Yiqu Jun. Because of the Empress Dowager Mi, after the Marquis became the prime minister, the three of them were promoted to generals and had a given territory, so they were called the four nobles. At that time, it had been forty-one years since Qin Wangji ascended the throne, and the government was still controlled by the Queen Mother and the Marquis, the Empress Dowager was arbitrary and arbitrary without scruples, the Marquis never reported to foreign envoys, Huayang Jun, Jingyang Jun and other punishments were arbitrary, and Gao Lingjun never asked for instructions on the appointment and dismissal of officials, and the private wealth of the four nobles even exceeded that of the King of Qin. ”

But a year ago, that is, the forty-first year of Qin Wangji, the King of Qin finally couldn't hold back, abolished the Empress Dowager, moved to Ganquan Palace, and drove Huayang Jun, Gaoling Jun, and Jingyang Jun outside the pass. This Zhang Lu's reputation is not obvious, I only know that he was a guest by King Qin's side a few years ago, and he doesn't have much skill when he thinks about it, he just does things according to King Qin's wishes, so the hostility of Qin State before Qi is only afraid that there will be no change because Zhang Lu came to power......"

Qin Wangji, a king who is nearly sixty years old, has been the king of Qin for forty-two years, and Tian Fazhang's father, King Qi Min, is an old rival. Pingyuan Jun kept emphasizing this point, hoping that the King of Qi would not have other thoughts because of the dethronement of the Marquis who was hostile to the Qi State......

The King of Qi said weakly: "This is natural, isn't the widow now fighting with the Zhao State and the Qin State?" But about that Zhang Lu, there is one thing that Pingyuan Jun may not know, he is actually not called Zhang Lu......"

A gloomy light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled: "It's called Fan Sui!" ”

……

"Fan Sui?"

Pingyuan Jun thought for a while, spread his hands and smiled dumbly: "Forgive the foreign minister for being lonely and unheard, I have never heard of this Fan Sui's character." ”

Chang Anjun, who didn't want to be next to him, suddenly interjected: "Uncle, I have heard of Fan Sui's name from Mr. Gongsun Long. ”

King Qi and Pingyuan Jun's eyes were focused on him, Pingyuan Jun was surprised, why hadn't he heard Gongsun Long mention it? King Qi was surprised, he was like a master who was ready to tell a riddle and was about to tell a twisted story, but suddenly a guest stood up and said that he knew the riddle, which made King Qi a little excited.

He had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Since you know, let's listen to it......"

Mingyue talked eloquently: "Fan Ju is a native of Wei, known as Uncle Fan. He learned the art of vertical and horizontal, lobbied the princes, and wanted to do things to the king of Wei, but his family was poor and had no way, so he could only be a housekeeper under the middle doctor of Wei first. ”

"At that time, it was a few years after the restoration of King Qi, Xu Jia sent an envoy to Qi for King Wei Zhao, Fan Ju went with his entourage, and stayed in Qi for a few months, Mr. Gongsun Long knew Fan Sui at that time, and he also said that the king appreciated Fan Sui?"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, after all, this is only a record in the history books of the previous life, Mingyue does not guarantee that everything is accurate, it is best to say that half of it is best to leave half of it, anyway, he just needs to let himself not appear ignorant in the eyes of King Qi.

King Qi bowed his head and said: "However, that was twelve years ago, and the widow saw that Fan Sui was able to speak well and deal with it properly, and felt that he was a talent, so he sent someone to reward Fan Ju with ten catties of gold and cow wine." Fan Ju didn't dare to accept it, and finally accepted the beef and wine and returned the gold. ”

He sighed and said: "The widow had good intentions, but who expected to harm Uncle Fan, the middle doctor Xu Jia held a grudge after knowing about this, thinking that Fan Ju sold the secrets of the Wei State to my Qi State, so he received such a gift from the widow." After returning to Wei, Xu Jia hated Fan Ju and reported the matter to the Minister of Wei. The minister of Wei is the son of King Xiang of Wei, named Wei Qi. Wei Qi was furious when he heard this, and felt that Fan Sui was eating inside and out, so he ordered his cronies to beat him, Fan Sui's ribs were broken, his teeth were knocked out, and he was drenched in blood, and he saw that he couldn't live, so he abandoned him in the wilderness. When the widow learned of this, he thought he was dead and regretted it......"

Pingyuan Jun said: "Since Fan Sui has been killed, why has he become Zhang Lu, the prime minister of Qin? ”

Mingyue said with a smile: "Presumably pretending to be dead and getting out, and then fled to the Qin State, hiding incognito?" I heard that at that time, the Marquis Wei Ran was in charge of Qin power, and he hated the scholars who other princes entered Qin to lobby, so it was not easy for Fan Sui to get in, this person, Zhenren Jieye, my uncle did not misunderstand him at that time......"

What King Qi wanted to say was said by Chang Anjun again, and it was a little difficult to continue to lead down for a while, this son was too smart, so he had to spend all his energy to deal with it. After a while, he said: "Yes, it turns out that Fan Sui is not dead, he was rescued by Zheng Anping, a disciple of Wei Qi, and hid for several years, and then he was assisted by Wang Ji, the envoy of Qin. ”

"After Fan Sui entered Qin, he assumed the pseudonym Zhang Lu, but in just a few years, he gained the trust of Qin Wangji, worshiped as a guest secretary, and discussed the government with him, and now he has moved down as a marquis for 30 years, and has become the prime minister of Qin under one person and above 10,000 people."

Mingyue said: "Since my uncle mentioned this, it means that Fan Sui is no longer a pseudonym Zhang Lu, but has made his identity public?" I guess it's happened in the last two months? ”

King Qi slapped his forehead as if he realized it later, and said with a smile: "The widow is confused, I have been talking for so long, but I haven't mentioned the interesting thing I want to share with you today." ”

Then, King Qi talked about Fan Sui's revenge.

“范雎做了秦国相国之后,秦国人仍称他为张禄,而魏国人同寡人一样,对此毫无知晓,认为范雎早已死了。 At the beginning of this year, the king of Wei heard that Qin sent troops to the east to attack Zhao and pull out three cities, and he was shocked and afraid that it would harm him, so he sent Xu Jia to envoy Qin to ...... with Qin."

Pingyuan Jun answered: "So Xu Jia met Fan Sui? ”

King Qi said with great interest: "I saw it, but Fan Sui concealed his identity as the prime minister of Qin, dressed in his clothes, walked to the Xianyang guest house, saw Xu Jia, and pretended to be the groom of the 'Prime Minister Zhang Cheng' of the Qin State, and came to welcome Xu Jia to the prime minister's mansion." ”

Mingyue said secretly, sure enough, this is the case, then Fan Sui is really good at playing.

Needless to say, the next thing is needless to say, Fan Sui has excellent acting skills, snot and tears, deceived Xu Jia's trust, thinking that he was really the groom of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which made Su Jia feel a little pity for him, so he left Fan Ju to sit down and eat together, and said sympathetically: "Uncle Fan is so poor." He also took a silk robe of his own and gave it to him.

After doing these things, Na Su Jia thought that his grievances with Fan Sui had been resolved, so he took the opportunity to ask about the preferences of Qin State's "Zhang Cheng Minister", and Fan Sui naturally continued to lie to him, saying that he could lead Xu Jia directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion without having to wait for many days.

Su Jia was overjoyed, so he asked Fan Sui to pull his own prime minister's mansion, and the people in the prime minister's mansion saw Fan Ju driving back in a car, and people who knew him avoided him. Su Jia saw this scene very strange, and didn't think much about it, when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fan Ju asked Su Jia to wait here, and he went to report to "Prime Minister Zhang Jun".

Su Jia waited stupidly at the door with the reins of the horse, and when no one came for a long time, he asked the doorman: "Uncle Fan has been in and out for a long time, why?" The doorman said, "Uncle Fan." Su Jia said, "The person who entered the car with me is Uncle Fan." The doorman laughed and said, "It's not Uncle Fan, it's Zhang Junye, the prime minister of Qin!" ”

Su Jia was shocked when he heard this, and understood that he had been fooled and tricked in, so he hurriedly took the burden and kowtowed inside.

After that, Fan Sui counted Xu Jia's crimes in public and humiliated him, but in the end he did not ask for Su Jia's life, and claimed that he "must repay the virtue of a meal, and repay the grievances of Jianhua", although Xu Jia once harmed him, but because today he still misses the old love and gives a coarse silk robe to himself, so he gives him a way out. So he expelled Xu Jia from the Prime Minister's Mansion, entered the palace and reported the truth of the matter to the King of Qin, decided not to accept the envoy of Wei, and ordered Xu Jia to return to the country.

Before Xu Jia left, Fan Sui humiliated him again, and ordered him: "Wei Qi is my enemy, after you return, tell the king of Wei to quickly cut off Wei Qi's head and sacrifice it, otherwise, I will ask the king to attack Wei and slaughter Daliang!" ”

After saying this "interesting story", King Qi smiled and said: "This is what happened at the beginning of the month, when you and the others had just set off from Handan, so I didn't know that it was a little late to spread to the country of Qi." After learning about this, the widow was very pleased, and also felt that Fan Sui endured humiliation and burden, and once he reached the top, his behavior was quite similar to Wu Zixu, which was really embarrassing. ”

He immediately looked at Pingyuanjun and Chang'anjun, and said with a smile: "Fan Sui said that his virtue of a meal will be repaid, and the grievances of Jianwei will be repaid, Pingyuanjun, do you think that the widow also gave him a lot of golden bull wine back then, how will he repay me?" Nephew, you are so smart, you might as well talk about it. ”

When he said this, King Qi was still smiling, but when Pingyuan Jun heard it, it made him feel cold all over his body......

King Qi, what does this mean!? Hint? Coerce? Or has something already been reached with Fan Sui of the Qin State?

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Chang'anjun next to him laughed.

"Uncle, the act of giving Taurus wine back then directly led to Fan Sui being framed, we seem to be naturally virtuous, but in Fan Sui's heart, maybe it is resentful......"
