Chapter 39: The Old King
Hearing Xiang Yu's statement that he was walking at night, everyone present was stunned, and what followed was deep disdain.
The husband has ambitions for thousands of miles, and in troubled times, if he can't achieve a hegemony, he is really ashamed to be called a hero.
Not to mention, who one of the people present didn't aim to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, or even to rule the world, how could it be like Xiang Yu, who just wanted to show off in front of people.
When Liu Bang first entered Xianyang, he came to the Qin palace room and saw a group of timid beauties, and he couldn't move for a while, intending to enjoy this night's joy.
At this time, Fan Xu admonished: "Pei Gong wants to have the world? Or be a rich man, just be satisfied? ”
Pei Gong silently did not answer when he heard this, and finally sealed the treasury, closed the palace room, and returned the army to the army.
This is what a husband with lofty ambitions should do, is it a long-term solution to be content with the status quo and not want to forge ahead like Xiang Yu?
And it's not just Liu Bang, it's the King of Zhao, the King of Han, and the King of Wei on the side, which of them doesn't want to command the heroes and ascend to the throne? It's just that I don't have the ability.
Now Xiang Yu has such a good opportunity, if he can set the capital of Xianyang and dominate Qinguan, it will become a great cause for thousands of generations. Who would have thought that Xiang Yu was just bent on going back to Chudi to show off his hometown fathers, isn't this a big joke in the world?
Although no one dared to show it on their faces, in their hearts, Xiang Yu's majestic image in the past had been greatly reduced.
Zhang Han couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it can be seen from Xiang Yu's words that he is only suitable for being a fierce general who charges into battle, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be the co-master of the world. To paraphrase Fan Xu's meaning, Xiang Yu's vision is at best a rich man, how can he fight Liu Bang, who is full of heart.
He also understood why Fan Zeng was so angry that he slammed the door just now, Xiang Yu was really a bit like Adou who couldn't be helped, so Fan Zeng was helpless.
Han Sheng's words were golden and jade, and Xiang Yu's rejection of him was equivalent to rejecting an excellent opportunity to dominate. But Xiang Yu was still unconscious, and he still felt that there was no mistake in his answer, and he was very complacent between his eyebrows.
For a while, everyone had ghosts in their hearts, or pondered, or sneered, it can be said that Han Sheng's advice made Xiang Yu out of the ocean.
"Does anyone else have any opinions other than Han Sheng?"
Fan Zeng went out for a while to dissipate his anger, and at this time he returned to the big tent, Xiang Yu raised his neck and drank the wine in front of him, bringing the topic back again.
Hearing this, the princes were silent for a while, all this Xiang Yu must have already planned, standing up and speaking except for making Xiang Yu disgusted, there was no benefit in the slightest, naturally no one came forward.
At this moment, everyone's attention is on the sub-seal at the back, according to Xiang Yu's temperament, it is not easy to say how to divide the envelope.
Just when everyone was silent, someone suddenly stood up again, only to see that the person who came was a middle-aged man, his face was solemn, he saluted Xiang Yu, and said loudly: "The minister is the envoy of King Qi, and there is still something to say." ”
"Oh? King of Qi's Messenger...... If you have anything to say, you can say it, and Yu will definitely not be surprised. ”
Xiang Yu was a little surprised that someone would stop him one after another, but he still waved his hand generously and motioned for the middle-aged man to continue.
"Before General Xiang Liang was alive, he visited King Huai from the people, and a few days ago, King Xiang also respected King Huai as the righteous emperor and ordered the princes of the world. If it is decided today, if Emperor Yi is not allowed to divide the seal himself, but King Xiang will use his life without authorization, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. ”
Before he finished his words, Xiang Yu's face had already turned extremely blue, and although the envoy was panicked, he still stubbornly finished speaking.
Han Cheng, who was sitting next to Zhang Han, sneered and said softly: "Why did I say that King Qi suddenly sent a messenger here, it turned out to be this idea, but unfortunately, King Qi is afraid that he has miscalculated." ”
Zhang Han didn't know much about these old kings of the Six Kingdoms, and when he heard Han Wangcheng say this, he asked curiously: "Could it be that King Qi has any opinions on King Xiang, why do you want the envoy to challenge King Xiang at this moment." ”
"Hmph, if it is decided today, the Qi royal family has already shown chaos. The current person in charge of Qi is the Qi general Tian Rong, and even the Qi Wang Tian City is also supported by him. Tian Rong was previously reluctant to attack Qin from the Xiang clan and was hated by King Xiang, while Qi rescued Tian Du and the late Qi king Sun Tian An from Chu and entered the customs with Yu. And this time, King Xiang must follow his personal feelings, try his best to suppress Tian Rong of Tian City, and raise Tian An, so the envoy of Qi State wants to move out of Emperor Yi to suppress King Xiang. ”
Han Wangcheng saw that Zhang Han didn't know the inside story, so he leaned over, lowered his voice and told Zhang Han the key points. After listening to this, Zhang Han understood the intention of the envoy of Qi State.
While the two were talking, Xiang Yu was looking at the bold messenger, how he didn't know the meaning of the other party's words, but the envoy's words were also reasonable, and Xiang Yu was speechless for a while to object.
Seeing Xiang Yu's words, Fan Zeng on the side slowly opened his mouth and said: "Regarding the matter of dividing the seal, I should have asked Emperor Yi to make a decision, but Emperor Yi was far away in Chu, and there were many inconveniences in comings and goings. ”
"Yes, why can't this king preside over the partition? The King of Qi didn't come to participate in the alliance, but he sent you to make irresponsible remarks to me, could it be that he came to make trouble on purpose! Xiang Yu's face became even more ugly, and he shouted: "Left and right, take this person for me!" Wait until the alliance is over. ”
Xiang Yu ordered the ban, and as soon as the words fell, a guard rushed in and set up the envoy of the Qi State. After Xiang Yu nodded, the guards did not hesitate to escort the messenger out of the tent.
"King Xiang spares his life!"
The messenger looked panicked and begged for mercy. He didn't expect that Xiang Yu would turn his face directly, even the other princes were unexpected, for a while, the audience was silent, only the voice of the messenger to forgive.
Seeing Xiang Yu so decisive, the princes were all sweating and looking a little restless.
Although the Qi envoy had been taken away, Xiang Yu's face was still full of anger, he slapped the table and stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Is there still anyone who is not convinced by me now?" ”
Xiang Yu's prestige is already deep, and he is angry again at the moment. The princes were all silent, and they didn't dare to come out. After three breaths, Xiang Yu's anger decreased slightly, so he sat down again.
Without Xiang Yu's forced gaze, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They are afraid of Xiang Yu from the bottom of their hearts, whether Xiang Yu is short-sighted and doesn't say it, but his fierceness and courage are undeniable.
At the beginning of the battle of Julu, the princes came with reinforcements but did not dare to send, only Xiang Yu with the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and the strength of pulling out the mountain to carry the tripod, went forward, won the nine battles, captured the king, killed Su Jiao, burned the wade, for a while, shocked all the princes.
The image of Xiang Yu's god of war entered everyone's hearts at once, and now, even if the princes are dissatisfied with Xiang Yu in their hearts, no one dares to show it.
After disposing of the envoy of the Qi State, Xiang Yu seemed a little impatient, so he no longer went around in circles, but said directly: "I have discussed with Yafu on the matter of separation, and I have temporarily drawn up a plan, and now I will let Yafu announce that if any of the princes present are dissatisfied, they can oppose it to me in person." ”
Hearing this, the princes immediately pricked up their ears, and they knew that this was the main event of the day.
After Xiang Yu finished speaking, Fan Zeng slowly stood up, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and slowly unfolded it: "Qin destroys the Six Kingdoms, there must be the world, King Xiang has overthrown the tyrannical Qin now, and he should re-establish the king of the Six Kingdoms." Special Orders:
The king of Wei migrated to the east of the river, called the king of Western Wei, and the capital was Pingyang. King Zhao rested and migrated to the fiefdom, still called King Zhao, and the county of Dudai. Han Guangxi, the king of Yan, sealed Liaodong and changed his name to the king of Liaodong, but there was no end. Qi Wangtian City migrated to Jiaodong, changed its name to Jiaodong Wang, and all of them were ink. Han Wangcheng's title is the same as before, and he is still Yang Zhai. ”
Before he finished speaking, there was already an irrepressible discussion among the princes, and these separations of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng really surprised everyone.
Even Zhang Han can be regarded as seeing it at this moment, although Xiang Yu said it well, he is not ready to let the old royal family of the Six Kingdoms return to power at all. In addition to Qin and Chu, the old kings of the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Qi and Yan all migrated to the seal, even if Han Cheng still maintained the old seal, but Korea is the smallest place in the country among the seven countries, and it is destined to become no climate.
Looking at Zhao Wangxie on the side, Wei Wangbao's angry gaze, Zhang Han could only shake his head sympathetically, presumably King Qi and King Yan, who didn't come, should be extremely hot when they heard the news.
But to his surprise, except for Zhao Weihan, the other princes looked like they didn't care about themselves, and even some generals showed excited expressions on their faces.
Zhang Han thought about it for a while, and guessed the reason why they were so eager.
Xiang Yumi's migration to seal the old kings of the Six Kingdoms was a big blow to the six royal families, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the princes who got up recklessly.
What kind of prince will Xiangning have? Everyone started against Qin, and some kings' contributions were even inferior to those of the heroes, why were they able to obtain the old land by virtue of their family background. If Xiang Yu maintained the original situation of the Six Kingdoms, not to mention what the people thought, the princes present would definitely not be convinced.
This plan must have been made by Fan Zeng, this hand can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only weaken the power of the old kings of the Six Kingdoms, but also support his cronies to the throne and win the favor of the princes, which is really very old-fashioned.
"Silence!"
Listening to the discussion below getting louder and louder, Xiang Yu patted the table impatiently, and said directly to the second king of Zhao Wei: "King Qi and King Yan didn't come today, I will send someone to convey it, what objection do you two have to my separation?" ”
Wei Wangbao's face turned red, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he almost wanted to get up and argue with Xiang Yu. But Zhao Wangxie, who was beside him, grabbed him and said respectfully: "We have no objections, everything is at the behest of the king." ”
Xiang Yu saw that King Zhao knew him like this, and he didn't ask any more questions, and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, but he didn't notice that in the depths of King Zhao's eyes, a flame of hatred was burning.
