20 Pei Gong entered the customs

But it is said that Pei Gong and the generals entered the palace, and saw that the palace was magnificent and large-scale, with 36 palaces and 24 courtyards, thousands of concubines and concubines, and countless dogs and horses, among which there was a gall mirror that was the most bizarre: this mirror was rectangular, four feet wide, five feet nine inches high, the surface and the inside were clear, and people came straight to shine on it, and its shadow was reversed. If you come with your hands and heart, you will see the five organs of the stomach and intestines in the abdomen, and there is no obstacle in the history. In case of internal illness to cover the heart, can know the location of the disease, and if the woman has the heart of adultery, then the heart is bold, Qin Shi Huang often used this mirror to look at people, see the bold heart, set the order to kill it.

Pei Gong's subordinates saw that Pei Gong had entered the Qin Palace, and they also rushed to open the treasury first and take all the gold and silk property.

Xiao He was the only one who entered the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion and collected important books and documents, and knew all the local dangers, the number of household registrations, and the strength of the atmosphere. Later, Pei Gong learned about the situation in the world and broke the heroes to unify the world, all of which were Xiao He's power, after all, Xiao He's views were different.

Pei Gong saw that the Qin Palace was very magnificent, and he didn't feel that his heart was moved, so he wanted to stay in it. The generals said: "Qin's wealth is also here!" I will dwell here to appease the hearts of the people, so that the princes will not fight each other. Fan Xu stepped forward and said directly to Pei Gong: "Pei Gong wants to have the world?" Or do you want to be rich? All these luxurious things are the reason why Qin died! What is the use of Pei Gong? I wish to return to the army in a hurry, and there is no stay in the palace. Pei Gong was already fascinated by wealth at this time and refused to listen.

Zhang Liang saw that Pei Gong didn't listen to Fan Xu's words, and said again: "There is no way for the Qin State to do it, so the Duke has to come here." At the beginning of this year, when he entered Xianyang, he learned to die and enjoy Qin'an, and the princes were never compatible after entering Xianyang, and the good medicine was suitable for disease; Advice against the ear is good for action. Wanggong listened to Fan Xu's words. "Pei Gong realized that he sealed all the palaces and treasury, and ordered the soldiers to wait for the princes.

Pei Gong returned to Ba Shang and immediately sent people to summon the old heroes of the counties to arrive. Pei Gong said to everyone: "Father and elder have been harsh on the law for a long time! Those who slander will be punished by the three tribes, and those who gather words will be beheaded. I have made a contract with various countries to attack Qin, and the one who enters the customs first will be the king, and I will enter the customs first, and I should be the king of the pass. Now I make a covenant with my father, and my law is only three chapters: death to the murderer; Those who injure others and steal property shall be convicted according to their severity and severity. In addition, all Qin laws are removed. All the officials and the people are as such. I have come to remove harm from my father, and I have not violated it, so do not be afraid. Therefore I have returned to the Ba, but to wait for the arrival of the soldiers of all countries, and to make a contract together. A group of fathers and old heroes listened to Pei Gong's words, everyone was very happy, and thanked Pei Gong for returning to the county and informing the people of this place to know.

Because of the vastness of the area, the people in the countryside may not know about it, so he sent many people to accompany the local officials to tour the townships and give advice everywhere. So the people of Qindi were overjoyed and rushed to prepare cattle, sheep, wine and food to send to the military camp. Pei Gong refused to accept it again, saying that there was a lot of rice and millet in the warehouse, and the sergeant's solar eclipse was not lacking, and he did not want the people to break the bank. The people were even more happy when they heard this, but they were afraid that Pei Gong would not be the king of Qin.

Qin's self-Shang martingale reform method is still harsh, and the successive generations can only aggravate. The people's every move often violates the criminal ban, and the restraint and suppression are like being in the midst of a soup fire. Today, Pei Gong has abolished all the harsh laws in a few words, like a fish out of the net and a bird out of the cage, and his gratitude will never be forgotten! Pei Gong laid the foundation from this, and later had to have the world, it is ridiculous that the Qin Dynasty monarch abused the people in vain, but he sold this favor to Pei Gong, and achieved the Han family for 400 years in the world!

It turned out that Pei Gong thought: "I entered the customs first, made the covenant of King Huai, and became the king of Qin sooner or later." Therefore, various means are used to consolidate the hearts of the people. Suddenly, someone came to Pei Gong and said: "Qindi is ten times richer than the world, and the situation is strong. Now I heard that Zhang Han has descended Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu set up as the king of Yong, Xu Guanzhong land, not a day Xiang Yu led the troops of various countries to come, I'm afraid you can't have this place. Today, we should send troops to hold the Hangu Pass, not allow the soldiers of all countries to enter the pass, and then call the troops in the pass to refuse. Pei Gong did not discuss with Zhang Liang, and immediately sent troops to guard the pass.

However, it was said that Xiang Yu led the troops from Henan to advance and traveled to Xin'an in November, and suddenly staged a tragedy.

It turned out that after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and unified the world, the officials of various countries passed through the customs, and the officials of Qin and Di thought that they were the remnants of the country, no different from captives, and they were not treated politely. Officials from various countries swallowed their anger and naturally harbored hatred in their hearts. This time, the Qin soldiers surrendered to various countries, which was really a narrow road in the circle of heaven, and the soldiers of all countries regarded the Qin generals as slaves, and they had to scold and whip them at every turn. The generals of the Qin State privately discussed: "General Zhang coaxed my generation to surrender to various countries, it would be good if I could enter the customs and break through Qin." If not, the soldiers of various countries will plunder us and return to the east, and Qin will kill all my parents and wives, how can this be done? We have to plan ahead. ”

For a while, the Qin soldiers were talking, and the generals of all countries came to inform Xiang Yu when they heard it.

Xiang Yu then summoned Yingbu and General Pu to conspire: "There are still many soldiers in the Qin State, and they are not convinced, and if they don't listen to the order when they arrive at Hangu Pass, it will be over!" It's better to kill them all now, and only with Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Peng. The two immediately agreed. So Xiang Yu ordered the two to lead the troops, and took advantage of the night to trap more than 200,000 Qin soldiers to death in the south of Xin'an City.

Xiang Yu pitted the Qin soldiers, so he advanced to Hangu Pass. Wen Peigong has been set in the pass, there are soldiers guarding the gate, Xiang Yu can't help but be furious, so that Yingbu led the troops to break through the Hangu Pass. All the way forward, to the Xihongmen place where the play is stationed.

At this time, although Xiang Yu complained about Pei Gong, he was not very decisive. Who knew that Pei Gong's subordinate Zuo Sima Cao came to curry favor without injury, hoping to seek a fief in the future. He sent someone to report to Xiang Yu and said: "Pei Gong wants to be the king of Guanzhong, so that Ziying is the prime minister, and all the treasures in the treasury want to be owned." Xiang Yu was so angry when he heard this, he was furious and scolded loudly. Fan Zeng took the opportunity to say on the side: "Pei Gong is greedy for money and lustful. I heard that I didn't take a single property and didn't get close to a woman, so I can see that his ambition is not small. I make people look at their breath, all into the shape of colorful dragons and tigers, this son of heaven is also angry! You can take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack it quickly, so as not to delay and miss the opportunity. ”

Xiang Yu was about to order troops, and Fan Zengzhi said: "It's not okay at this time." Why don't you lead the people and horses at the third watch tonight, divide the troops into two ways to kill Benba, and kill Liu Ji to prevent future troubles. Xiang Yu said: "Okay." Immediately, the generals were divided into points, and the troops and horses were not on the subject.

said that Xiang Yu had an uncle named Xiang Bo, who was Chu Zuoyin. He killed people in anger during the Qin Dynasty, and he knew that he would inevitably flee to Xiapi for capital crimes, but fortunately Zhang Liang lived with him to avoid disaster. At this time, he was in Xiang Yu's camp, and when he heard that Xiang Yu wanted to attack Pei Gong, he had no friendship with Pei Gong, so he naturally didn't care. But Zhang Liang suffered with Pei Gong, wouldn't it be a pity! At that time, he went out of the camp at night and rode alone to ask Zhang Liang in front of Pei Gong's camp, and secretly told Xiang Yu about the attack, and asked Zhang Liang to go with him. Zhang Liang replied: "I sent Pei Gong into the customs for King Han, and today Pei Gong encountered this emergency, if I fled without permission, I would be an unrighteous person." They must be informed before making a decision. Saying that, he pulled out and left, Xiang Bo couldn't help it, so he had to wait.

After hearing this, Pei Gong was stunned and said: "I have no enmity with Xiang Yu, how can you attack me?" Zhang Liang said: "Who advised the public to keep the letter Guguan?" Pei Gong said: "Someone taught me to guard the pass, don't accept the soldiers of all countries, but according to Qin, I will be the king, I will do according to the plan, am I wrong?" Zhang Liang said: "Can the corporal of the public expect to be able to defeat Xiang Yu?" Pei Gong said: "I'm afraid it may not be." Zhang Liang said: "Our army only has 100,000 people, but Xiang Yu's army has 400,000, how can the enemy win!" Fortunately, Uncle Xiang came here to invite Liang to go with him today, how dare Liang be honest? I had to report. Pei Gong was shocked when he heard this, and said again and again: "What is the plan for today?" Zhang Liang said: "It seems that I have to ask Uncle Xiang to tell Xiang Yu, only to say that the public has not refused, but guard against theft, please misunderstand." Xiang Bo is Xiang Yu's uncle, and he should be able to stop Yu Jun. ”

When Pei Gong heard the word "Uncle Xiang", he asked anxiously: "How do you know Uncle Xiang?" Zhang Liang replied: "Uncle Xiang tried to kill people, and was rescued by Liang, and now Zhang Liang was killed, so he came to sue Liang." Pei Gongdao: "How about being younger than you?" "Liang said that Uncle Xiang was older. Pei Gong said: "Jun quickly and call me into Uncle Xiang, I am willing to deal with each other as a brother." If you can turn around on your behalf, you will never live up to your morality! ”

Zhang Liangnai recruited Uncle Xiang and invited him to meet Pei Gong together. Xiang Bo said: "This is not convenient. I came to repay you for my personal feelings, how can I see Pei Gong? Zhang Liang hurriedly said: "Jun saving Pei Gong is like saving Liang, the world is undecided, how can Liu Xiang's two families kill each other?" It is also unfavorable for him to lose both sides of the day and the king, so he invites the king to discuss peace. Xiang Boshang wanted to resign, and then after Zhang Liang's hard persuasion, he and Zhang Liang entered to see Pei Gong. Pei Gong dressed up to greet him, extended him to sit down, and ordered the military service to put out wine and food to entertain Xiang Bo, and sat with Zhang Liang attentively. After several rounds of wine, Pei Gong said: "After I entered the customs, I didn't dare to take it privately, sealed the treasury, recorded the people, and waited for General Xiang to arrive." It's just because the thieves enter and leave without authorization, so the officials don't dare to ignore it, why refuse General Xiang? May the foot be passed down on my behalf, and I will only say that I will never have two hearts when I look forward to driving day and night. Xiang Bo said: "You have seen the commission, if you have any suggestions, you will reach it from the present time." Zhang Liang saw that Xiang Bo's language was still supportive, and asked Xiang Bo how many sons and daughters did he have? Xiang Bo replied one by one, and Zhang Liang said: "Pei Gong also has several children, so it is good to marry you." Pei Gong hurriedly admitted. Xiang Bertto didn't dare to help, Zhang Liang said with a smile: "Liu Xiang's two families are like brothers, they had an appointment with Qin before, and now the major event of entering Xianyang has been decided, and it is quite a marriage to get married, so why bother to resign!" When Pei Gong heard this, he said that he handed it to Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang was not good at drinking, and he also drank wine after drinking everything. Zhang Liang waited for Pei Gong to drink, and then laughed and talked from the side: "The glass of wine has been decided, his second surname is harmonious, and Zhang Liang is also good to accompany the wedding party." Xiang Bo and Pei Gong were very happy, and drank a few more glasses with each other. Xiang Bo got up and said, "It's late at night, so you should leave." Pei Gong replied to the preface, Xiang Bo said: "I should tell you when I go back, but I will get up early tomorrow, and I can't help but come to see you!" Pei Gong promised to send Uncle Xiang out of the camp.

But it was said that at the time of the third watch, Xiang Yu was promoted to check the generals, and Xiang Bo was the only one in the middle. Fan Zeng said: "Why didn't General Xiang see him? Ding Gong said: "The old king rode out of the camp at dusk, but I stopped him and asked the king where he was going, and the king said that it was very tight to inquire about the military situation. Zeng said: "Ming Gong doesn't need to move troops, General Xiang must have leaked the news, he must be prepared there, if he goes against China, he will have a plan." Xiang Yu said: "My uncle is loyal and dearest, how can he be outwardly reasonable?" Sir, need not be suspicious. Fan Zeng said: "Although General Xiang is not outward, he must be tight, and it is difficult to move if there is a slight leak." There is no need to move troops tonight. Before the words were finished, the arrival of the boss of the Xiang Clan. Xiang Yu asked him where he went? Xiang Bodao: "I have an old friend Zhang Liang, who saved my life before, and now he is under Liu Ji's command, I am afraid that Liu Ji will be destroyed in the middle of the night, and Liang will not be able to protect, so I invite him to surrender with a word." Xiang Yu was always anxious, so he asked, "Is Zhang Liang here?" Xiang Bo said: "Zhang Liang didn't want to surrender, just because Pei Gong entered the customs and did not lose the general, and now the general wants to attack, Zhang Liang said that the general is unreasonable, so he does not dare to throw lightly, and he is afraid that the general's move will inevitably lose people's hearts." Xiang Yu said angrily: "How can Liu Ji say that I have to say that I am not disappointed?" Xiang Bo said: "If Pei Gong doesn't break through the pass first, and the general can't rush in, wouldn't it be unjust if he has a great merit and wants to attack!" In addition, Pei Gong guarded the customs to guard against thieves, he did not dare to take his property, women did not dare to be lucky, the treasury and palace rooms were all blocked, waiting for the general to enter the customs and dispose of the same, even if the prince and the baby did not fall without authorization. Isn't it disappointing that such a generous heart will be attacked? Xiang Yu hesitated for a while and said, "According to my uncle's opinion, why don't you hit it?" Xiang Bo said: "Tomorrow, Duke Pei should come to apologize, and the Duke can treat each other calmly, without losing his righteousness." Xiang Yu said: "As far as my uncle said, Liu Ji seems to be innocent of a big crime, and if he moves troops, it will make the princes laugh." Fan Zeng said: "A certain person who persuaded the public to kill Liu Ji used Liu Ji's entry into the customs to buy people's hearts in the third chapter of the law, and his ambition was to seek the world; If you don't get rid of it early, you may have troubles in the future. The old general was deceived by Zhang Liang's statement and could not be trusted. Fortunately, the public thinks about it! Xiang Bo said: "Mr. has his own clever plan to kill Liu Ji, why bother robbing the village in the middle of the night?" Xiang Yu said: "Uncle's words are yes, Mr. should make another decision." Fan Zeng said: There are three plans: first, invite Liu Bang to the Hongmen meeting, when he is not seated, Ming Gong will blame him for the crime of entering the customs, if he can't answer, draw his sword and cut it, this is the plan; If the public does not want to do it himself, he can make more than 100 people ambush under the tent, and after Pei Gong enters the table, he will call an ambush to kill him, which is the middle plan; If the two plans fail, a person pours wine and persuades Pei Gong to get drunk, and he will be rude after drinking, so he will be killed, which is the next plan. If you follow these three plans, you will kill Pei Gong! Xiang Yu said: "All three plans are available." So he waited for Pei Gong to go to the meeting the next day.
