Shi Kan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more, and he didn't dare to move when he lay on the ground. www.biquge.info Gao Yue was silent for a while, but said: "Back then, when you heard that you only led 800 people, you dared to charge Liu Zhao's tens of thousands of troops alone, and you can be regarded as a heroic general who dominates the world. Why did you fall into this step now, have you ever thought about it? ”

The pride and happiness of the past flashed like a flash. Shi Kan was short of breath, and a sad feeling immediately appeared in his heart. He half-raised his head, looked at Gao Yue blankly, and said distractedly: "Emperor Gaozu Ming of the contempt country, from a poor body, to the Central Plains of Hebei, Zhaoji Dazhao. Only by following him can the criminal minister have the opportunity to dominate the world. But since Gaozu was killed by the traitor Shi Hu, the criminal minister was forced to flee, and since then he has been far away from his homeland, there are thieves who can't ask for it, there is a home and can't go back, lonely and helpless, every time I think about it, how can I not break my liver in my heart! The fate is like this, and people are powerless, and they have fallen to the point where they are now, what can the criminal minister do? ”

These words, said in front of Gao Yue, were actually a bit rude. But Shi Kan lost his soul and was in a trance, confiding in his long-suppressed heart, and he really didn't think of anything else. Gao Yue knew Shi Le's status in the hearts of his generation, and he did not criticize him.

Shi Kan suddenly said hurriedly: "As long as Your Majesty spares the life of the criminal minister, the criminal minister has a big secret, and he is willing to play it to His Majesty in person." ”

"What's the secret?"

"When the criminal minister was in Xiangguo in the past, because he was an important minister of the clan, he also knew a secret: some officials in His Majesty's court, for various interests, colluded with each other and leaked information. The last time Shi Hu dared to drive into Luoyang to attack Luoyang, he got a secret report, and he knew that Luoyang was empty and unprepared at that time. ”

Gao Yue's heart moved, but his face was not shocked: "How do I know if you want to save your life, and you are talking nonsense and making up some lies to fool me." ”

Shi Kan straightened up, his eyes flashing with a slight light: "The criminal ministers and the officials of His Majesty's court can be said to have never known each other. But the criminal minister is fully aware of their details, and when the criminal minister is presented, the specific plot, the characters, time and various connections involved, His Majesty is the British lord, and he will know whether the criminal minister is telling the truth or not when he hears it. ”

That night, Zhou Panlong was personally on duty, and Gao Yue and Shi Kan were alone in the imperial study, and they talked secretly all night. Three days later, Gao Yue announced in public that he was a concubine and could not be ordered to leave Luoyang for life. The imperial historian Miao Lan, Shang Shu objected, saying that Shi Kan was originally an enemy chieftain, and the two ends of the first rat were guilty of the country, and now he was arrested and not surrendered, so he should be warned in public. Gao Yue sighed, Feng Liang, who was like a brother and sister in the past, finally became lawless, and Li Bao even betrayed openly, these two are still like this, why should they criticize Shi Kan. Besides, some people are loyal and obedient in the open, but secretly lose money and collaborate with the enemy, and in terms of character, they are not as good as Shi Kan.

Although it is like house arrest, but after all, Shi Kan actually got his life when everyone thought he was going to die, which surprised the government and the opposition, Shi Sheng was already on the way back to Xingyang at that time, but he was pleasantly surprised when he heard the news, and secretly admired that the emperor was known for his generosity, which was really extraordinary.

Half a month later, one morning, Lu Fang, the middle of the imperial history, was suddenly arrested by the court, but Zhou Panlong personally found out, and Li Songnian personally took him into custody. The ministers were inexplicable, and they couldn't help but be terrified. However, Emperor Gao Yue then arrested thirteen court officials one after another with the force of thunder, and then publicized the conclusive evidence that the above people had secretly collaborated with Shi Zhao for a long time, and immediately ordered that all of them be executed. The ministers were afraid and uneasy, and they were wary of it.

Soon, good news came from Qinghai. Deng Heng, the commander of the expedition to the west, immediately understood the seriousness of the matter after receiving Gao Yue's stern edict in relief. At that time, he summoned the generals, admonished and exhorted, and invited Wang Cai, the commander of the Liangzhou army, to come and conspire and discuss, and quickly formulated a proper strategy, and fought steadily and steadily step by step, although it was relatively slow, but resolutely swept layer by layer, and once again entered Bailan City. In order to preserve his strength, he took the initiative to abandon Bailan City, retreated to Angcheng in the southwest, and mingled with Jiang Cong, the local leader of the Qiang tribe, who had always been good friends, for a temporary shelter. Soon Bailan City was captured by the Qin army, and the eastern land of Tuyuhun was returned to the Qin State, so Deng Hengfang breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Gao Yuechi, and Russia was promoted to the general of Zhenxi, stayed in Bailan, and asked Murong Tuyan again.

A few months later, Li Feng, the assassin of Liangzhou, sent a report, saying that the lord Li Xiong died of illness, and his nephew Li Ban ascended the throne. When Li Xiong was young, he fought for a long time, and although he was famous, he had many wounds on his body, and he suffered from time to time. Later, the teeth were decrepit, the old injuries were frequent, and they gradually suppurated and festered, so that they were bedridden, and the illness was heavy, and they were almost unable to support it a year ago, and they were critically ill several times. At that time, Li Xiong was ulcerated all over, lying alone in bed, tossing and wailing because of extreme pain, but even his concubines and even a dozen biological sons were secretly disgusted, and they all found excuses to stay away from him.

Only his nephew Li Ban, from day to night, served wholeheartedly beside the couch without undressing, feeling empathy and sadness for Li Xiong's illness, feeling at every turn when he tasted the medicine, sad and weeping, and even often sucking the foul-smelling pus from Li Xiong's wound, just to alleviate Li Xiong's pain. Under the careful care of Li Ban, Li Xiong was about to die, and his life was extended for another year and a half, which was a miracle.

During this period, Li Xiong also persuaded many times, but Li Ban still did not flinch. After a long period of secret observation and temptation, seeing that Li Ban's sincerity and filial piety really came from the heart, which deeply moved Li Xiong, and then thought of his own group of parents and children, from virtue, character, ability and sincerity to treat the monarch's father, all aspects are completely inferior to Li Ban, Li Xiong resolutely decided, gave up his son and set up a nephew, and finally canonized Li Ban as the crown prince and inherited the throne.

After receiving the report, Gao Yue immediately replied to Li Feng, telling him to protect the territory and the people during the national funeral of Chengguo, and not to take the initiative to provoke, and leave the rest for the future. At the same time, Gao Yue sighed to the ministers and said that since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and filial piety is the foundation of human beings, and unfilial piety is tantamount to beasts. As a nephew, Li Ban can serve Li Xiong more wholeheartedly than his son, and in terms of justice, he is a minister to the monarch, and in terms of personal feelings, he is a son who is obedient to his father. This kind of noble virtue has nothing to do with status, and should be given the greatest affirmation and praise.

But the king of a country has no family affairs. Li Xiong's appointment of Li Ban as his heir is logically correct, but legally speaking, it may be inappropriate. His son and nephew are buried in many hidden dangers. And Li Ban is generous and kind, with the style of a humble gentleman, he is more suitable to be a virtuous king, rather than an emperor who lives and kills. In this way, Chengguo is afraid that there will be turmoil.

When Gao Yue said this, Li Ban had already been on the throne for more than a month, and the funeral affairs of Chengguo were in order, and Li Xiong's sons were also safe, and everything was as smooth as before. Therefore, in Qin, even Prime Minister Yang Ke, who has always been resourceful, secretly expressed some doubts about Gao Yue's words. But only three months later, Li Ban was suddenly killed by Li Xiong's sons Li Qi and Li Yue, and Li Qi succeeded to the throne. When the news came, the ministers threw themselves at Gao Yue is five-body land, and Yang Ke sighed again and again, saying that the vision and insight of the Holy Lord and the ministers in the overall situation were different after all.

When the west, south and north were temporarily peaceful, in the fifth year of Qin Tiansheng, Emperor Shihu of Zhao sent Da Sikong Zhixiong as the commander, commanding 30,000 soldiers in Kwantung and 100,000 soldiers recruited by various tribes, known as 200,000 troops, from Xiangguo south to Yecheng, to launch an attack in the direction of Jixian, and wanted to open up the road to attack Hanoi and Luoyang in the south. When the Qin army heard the news, they immediately reacted, and Hu Song, the general of the Che Cavalry and the Duke of Sheng, led 40,000 elites to quickly move south through the Shangdang, intending to block the Zhao army, and the east-west war was about to break out.
