But it was said that one morning in the dynasty, Xiang Yu said to the ministers: "The ancients said, 'Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night', although I won the world, but did not return to my hometown, it is like wearing brocade clothes and walking at night." The Qin palace room burned down, it was really difficult to repair for a while, and Pengcheng is the land of Liang Chu, from the nine counties north of the Huai River, governing thousands of miles, and the capital is just built here, without losing the homeland. Han Sheng, a counselor, said: "There are the Yellow River, Hangu Pass, Pujin in the east of Guan, Dalongguan, Shanlan County and other places in the west, Zhongnan, Wuguan and Xiaguan in the south, Shaanxi River, Wei, Jing, Tongguan in the north, one hundred and two mountains and rivers, three mountains and eight rivers, thousands of miles of fertile fields, and the country of abundance!" In the past, Zhou used this to prosper and Qin to dominate, why did Your Majesty lose the land of the king here? The overlord said: "You say that Guanzhong can be the capital, but I don't like it, and I mean it, and my will is the will of heaven." I have made up my mind, so you don't need to say more! Even if Quyi built the capital here, it will be disadvantageous in the end. Han Sheng said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the four seas, like the sun in the sky, who doesn't look up, why should he be honored to return to his hometown?" The overlord said: "The whole world is owned by me, and all the places that can be lived in are suitable for me, why do you say more?" Han Sheng said: "Father Fan Ya once said that Your Majesty should not leave Xianyang, did Your Majesty forget it?" The overlord said: "I dominate the world, invincible, how can Fan Zeng know what I can know?" I've made up my mind, don't bother! Han Sheng descended the steps and looked up to the sky and sighed: "People say that Chu people are crowned with monkeys, and now it is true!" The overlord overheard this on the throne and asked Chen Ping, "What do you mean by this?" Chen Ping didn't dare to hide it, so he said in the prelude: "Its intention is to compare the monkey with the king: although the monkey wears a crown and hat, his heart is not human; The monkey's heart is not durable, and the wearer is really impatient; The monkey wears a human clothes, but it is not human, and if it cannot be broken, it will be broken. When the overlord heard this, he scolded loudly: "Old brute! Old Puff! How dare you slander and bow down! Han Xin, the halberd officer, said: "Push this old thief to Xianyang City and cook it in an oil wok!" ”

Han Xin escorted Han Sheng to Shicao, and the ovary also followed the crowd to watch after learning about it. I saw Han Sheng go to the oil wok, and said loudly: "The people of Er Xianyang, I committed a crime today, and I am not a traitor who has misled the country and violated the law, just because the overlord wants to move the capital to Pengcheng, blame me for repeatedly admonishing me, cook me today, and think that Liu Bang will come to take the three Qin Yi within a hundred days!" Han Xin listened to Han Sheng and said: "Tell the doctor to say less, I am afraid that the overlord will know that it will affect us and others." Han Sheng said: "The emperor and the queen of heaven are not far away, and it is really a death for the country to be cooked." Han Xin said: "The public admonished to move the capital, and the people thought that they would die, but I thought they deserved to die." Han Sheng said: "What sin do I deserve to die? Han Xin said: "The duty of public residence counseling, such as killing Song Yi, at that time, he will kill the main general, why does the public not advise?" Pit killed Qin and surrendered 200,000 soldiers to Xin'an, why is the public not admonished? Chop off the child and dig the tomb of Qin, burn the house and move the princes to the left, why is the public not admonished? I can't solve it in the end, and the public will come to admonish it, isn't it too late? The reason why this duke was killed. How is Fan Zengbi you? I can't admonish yet, and I can't wait for my father to be far away, how can I admonish? For your death today, you can't blame the overlord, you can only blame yourself. After speaking, he cooked Han Sheng.

However, it was said that Zhang Liang inquired about Han Xin's residence and came to Han Xin's door one day to ask for a meeting. The doorman entered to report to Han Xin, and Han Xin thought to himself: "I didn't have any friends when I was poor, how can someone visit me today?" While he was groaning, Zhang Liang was already standing at the bottom of the steps. Han Xin saw that he was handsome and elegant, and he was a little familiar, so he didn't dare to ask, so he greeted the upper hall, and after each gave a salute, Han Xin asked: "Where did the virtuous prince come from?" What's the point? Gao's surname? Zhang Liang replied: "I have been out for a long time." The ancestors had left three main swords, which were really rare treasures, and they did not dare to talk about the price, but they asked for the heroes of the world, and they looked at their people first, and then sold this sword. Two mouths have been sold to two people, and the sword has not met its owner. General Guan is a hero in the world, and he came to sell this sword, not a false reputation, but a real heart. ”

Han Xin saw that Zhang Liang praised himself as a hero, and he was very happy, so he got up and said: "Since Han Xin returned to Chu, no one knows who a certain person is. May I seek a sword look. Zhang Liang then handed the sword to Han Xin, Han Xin took the sword and watched it under the hand lamp, only to see the treasure Qi rushing into the sky and shooting at the frost front. Han Xin usually loves swords the most, and today he loves this sword very much, but he doesn't dare to ask the price when he sees this sword in his pocket, but he clouds: "There are three public swords, can they be famous?" Zhang Liang said: "There are names: one is the sword of the Son of Heaven, the other is the prime minister's sword, and the other is the Yuanrong sword." The sword of the Son of Heaven is 'Baihong Purple Lightning', the Prime Minister's Sword is 'Longquan Tai'a', and the Yuanrong Sword is 'Cadre Mo Xie'. Han Xin said: "Sir's sword is really amazing in the world. But I don't know who those two swords sold to, and what is the price? Zhang Liang said: "The sword of the Son of Heaven was sold to Fengze Liu Pei. Han Xin said: "What kind of test did Mr. see Pei Gong and sell the Son of Heaven Sword to him?" Liang said: "This prince has the fortune of the Son of Heaven, and he used the sword of the Son of Heaven to cut the white snake in Mangjie Mountain. The letter said: "To whom did the prime minister's sword be sold?" Liang said: "Sell it to Xiao He of Pei County." The letter said, "What is the test?" Liang said: "This public has a great talent as a prime minister, and he has been sold to him in addition to Qin Caofa in Guanzhong, and he has three chapters of the law." Han Xin smiled and said: "Mr. has sold the two swords to King Han and Xiao Xiangguo, which can be described as a winning man!" Sell this sword to the kid today, I don't know what the asking price is? Liang said: "Shicai once said, first look at the person, then sell the sword, no matter how much it is worth, if you get the person, that is, the sword will be given away, why do you need to talk about the price?" I have heard for a long time that the general is a hero in the world, and I have come to see each other here, and the sword has the master! Han Xinqi thanked and said: "Although the sword has been beneficial, the letter is not commensurate with people. Zhang Liang said: "According to what the general has learned, although Sun Wu Sui Tho can't pass it, he has not met the master of Ming. In the past, Maxima did not meet Bole, mixed between the stables, suffered by the hands of slaves, and often horses. and meet Bole, knowing that it is a thousand miles of unicorn. Long neighing, chasing electricity and dust, for the world's good horses. Today, the general has not met the master in his own way, and he does not know that he is Yuan Rong! If you meet the Lord, listen to your words, pivot the heavens and the earth, sit in the Central Plains, and be extremely noble, it is not today's work. When Han Xin saw Zhang Liang say this, he didn't feel that his long sigh touched his thoughts, so he said: "Mr. Wen's words are like a liver and gallbladder, and the letter has been here for a long time, and it is difficult to say anything." The overlord who has repeatedly been on the table has not listened, and now he wants to move the capital to a big event! The letter will soon return to his hometown, and he will continue to live for years! Zhang Liang said: "The general is bad! Good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord and the master, with the ambition of the general, how can they follow the traces of the Hengmen, for Huaiyin a fish? Han Xin sighed again and said: "Mr. came to see me tonight, the words are moving and the discussion is outstanding, not only selling the sword has a deep meaning, I am under the moonlight, before the lamp and candle, carefully observe the action, Mr. is not Korean Zhang Zifang?" Zhang Liang left the table and thanked him and said: "I don't dare to see the name for a long time, tonight's greeting is really meaningful, how can the general see through it and hide it?" The kid is Zhang Liang. Han Xin laughed, shook his hand and said: "Mr. is a hero in the world, and a dragon among people!" I want to abandon this and return to Han, but I don't know what Mr. has to say? Liang said: "The king of Han is really an elder, and it will eventually become a big thing in Hanzhong for the time being, and the general is willing to follow the humble opinion, and I have something to do with the general." "Exactly:

Precious as a city and a clan,

Strange as the pearl of the night in the palace,

Hugh Yan Lu Wang's thousand plans,

It's not as good as a book! ”

Zhang Liang then took a corner book under his shirt and handed it to Han Xindao: "When I left King Han and Xiao in the past, I made an appointment with him, if I recommend the marshal to come, I can use this corner book as a memory, and if there is a corner book, it must be reused." The public can put this book away, and do not lose it or make a mistake. Han Xin asked again: "Mr. has burned the plank road, but where can he enter Hanzhong?" Zhang Liang took out a map in his book bag and paid it to Han Xindao: "This map is a remote mountain road, from the oblique fork into Chencangkou, close to Guyunling, Yujiao Mountain, around Jitou Mountain, down Hanzhong, nearly two hundred miles, the general he broke the three Qin, should come out from here." The Han people here don't know it, and the general should keep it a secret, and it can't be revealed to others. Han Xin put away the corner book and map, and asked, "Where is the gentleman going now?" Liang said: "I am now following Su Qin to lobby the Six Kingdoms, and he will oppose Chu to divide the overlord's momentum, so that there is no intention of returning to the West, then the general will have to arbitrarily go to the Three Qin, according to Xianyang, and the world is also." Han Xin said: "It's okay sooner or later, but it depends on the situation." Han Xin didn't have a family, so Zhang Liang stayed with Han Xin for a night. The next day, Zhang Liang left Xianyang and went to various countries to lobby the princes.

But it was said that Fan Zeng was in Pengcheng and urged Emperor Yi to be fortunate in Chenzhou. Emperor Yi said: "Jun, the one who gives the order is also; Ministers, those who are ordered to proclaim also. In the past, Xiang Yu made me the king, so that the princes were pleased. And I have an appointment, and the one who enters the customs first is king. This Xiang Yu reneged on his own as the king, sealed the princes of the world, and intended to move me to Chenzhou, abolish it without using it, how different from the first to live under it, the foot to live on it, the crown is upside down, not even a minister, you are Xiang Yu's father, when the bitter words are admonished to correct his fault, it is to help him to be evil, and it is the continuation of the death of Qin! Do you deserve it? Fan Zeng prostrated himself on the ground and said: "The minister Fan Zeng has repeatedly admonished bitterly, but King Xiang did not listen, and now he sent Ji Bu to leave Xianyang and come to Pengcheng to build the capital. The minister is also in a dilemma, but only the king's ear," the emperor said: "You are Xiang Yu's confidant, and you are justified in admonishment, how can you be entrusted with your orders, and there is nothing to do?" This is a villain, not a minister's body! Fan Zeng was terrified and had no land, so he had to know the overlord with a book.

The overlord Emperor Zhiyi did not want to leave Pengcheng, and said angrily: "King Huai is a folk erector, established by my family, respected as the king, and has a thousand years of adventure!" However, he preferred Liu Bang to go west, intending to get along. But they regard kindness as enmity, and they are arrogant, and if they are not cut off, they will be troubled in the future. "Then the king of Jiujiang, Yingbu, the king of Hengshan, Wu Rui, and the king of Linjiang, Gongao, lurked in the river to ambush, but called Fan Zeng, Ji Bu, Huan Chu, Yu Ying, etc.

Emperor Yi saw that Xiang Yu had repeatedly sent people to urge, and there was no one to do it, and if he stayed in the company, he was afraid that he would change, so he ordered civil and military officials to come to Chenzhou on a certain day. The ministers love their hometown a lot, and they don't want to go. Seeing that Emperor Yi was under the control of King Xiang, he was depressed and unwilling to obey. Fleeing one after another along the way, Emperor Yi couldn't stop it, so he had to listen.

To the north bank of the Yangtze River, Emperor Yi boarded the boat to trace the west of the river, traveled for many days to Chendi, the distance was only dozens of miles, the sky was late, there were Yingbu, Wu Rui, Gongao sat on three big boats to make noise and advance. The three of them stood on the bow of the boat and shouted: "The ministers are ordered by King Xiang to welcome Your Majesty, and all the jade talismans and gold books of Your Majesty are left with the ministers as licenses." Emperor Yi scolded and said: "You and others are evil and cannot pass the king, and when this river is in the middle of the river, it is not a gift for the ministers!" Yingbu and others held a knife to bring the boat close to the dragon boat, jumped straight, all the soldiers immediately crossed the dragon boat, shocked the attendants in the boat were eager to hide, Yingbu and others killed dozens of people with knives in their hands, Emperor Yi saw this scene, pointed to the northwest and scolded: "Xiang Yu is a traitor, he will be killed one day!" Then he looked at the river and jumped down, following the waves and not knowing where to go. The rest were killed by Yingbu and others.

Yingbu and others killed Emperor Yi and wanted to bring the boat ashore, but they couldn't go to the shore because the wind was not good, so they had to leave. At this time, there were people on the shore who saw Yingbu and others killing, one of them was eighty years old, known as Dong Gong, who was a well-read person, knew reason, and the villagers respected him, so he advocated and said: "Yingbu people and horses have gone back, we must salvage the body of Emperor Yi and bring it to Chenzhou, bury it with ceremonies, and then welcome the King of Han as an alliance leader to avenge Emperor Yi." The crowd answered, "We are willing to obey the command." Dong Gong led everyone to rush downstream, and hired more than a dozen boatmen who knew how to go down the river to follow. At 10 o'clock in the moon that night, I suddenly saw a corpse floating on the water, and when the boatmen salvaged him, they saw that his color had not changed. Everyone didn't know Emperor Yi, but they saw that the corpse had two jade rings on the middle toes of its two legs, which were in the shape of a dragon. Dong Lao said: "This must be the righteous emperor; If ordinary people have jade, how can they have jade? The crowd covered their bodies with clean silk and carried them to the front village, and the next day they burned incense and saluted Chenzhou, and some officials in the state asked people to carry the body to the original palace and parked it. The state officials were afraid that the overlord would find something to kill after he found out, so he hurriedly buried Emperor Yi in Chenzhou. So far, the tomb of Emperor Yi is still there, and the sacrifices are endless.

Emperor Yi was a puppet politically, but he was nominally the organizer of the Northern Expedition and the Western Expeditionary Army, both of which were now victorious, and Emperor Yi had a high position among the rebel armies. Although Emperor Yi was very dissatisfied with Xiang Yu and always wanted to get rid of his control, with Xiang Yu's strength and prestige at that time, it was actually easy to control Emperor Yi, and it was not good for Xiang Yu to kill Emperor Yi.

If Xiang Yu had been wiser, he should have taken Emperor Yi under his control, let him remain in Pengcheng, and then call the shots in his name. If Liu Bang obeyed Emperor Yi's orders, Xiang Yu would be able to achieve the goal of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes; If Liu Bang did not listen to Emperor Yi's orders, Xiang Yu could crusade against him in the name of Emperor Yi.

Xiang Yu is not Cao Cao. He did not gain anything from killing Emperor Yi, but instead provided a good excuse for Liu Bang to oppose Xiang Yu.

Yingbu came to Pengcheng after killing Emperor Yi and told Fan Zeng about the past one by one. After hearing this, Fan Zeng remorseful and said: "Emperor Yi was established by Wu Xinjun, and he didn't want to be killed in the river today, which is not even a courtesy. If the capital is moved to Pengcheng again, it will never be enough to win the world! When we hurriedly replied to persuade that the capital could not be moved, Liu Bang did not dare to go east. If you leave Xianyang, within 100 days, Liu Bang will decide to leave Hanzhong, and my generation will not be able to settle down! Ji Bu said: "Han Sheng also said this, and he was cooked by the overlord." Fan Zeng said: "We and others should be bitter and admonished, and we must not move the capital." ”

Fan Zeng stayed in Jibu to repair Pengcheng, and went to Xianyang with everyone to persuade the overlord. I saw that Xianyang was very embarrassed, and all the civil and military officials were preparing to pack up, and they were going to leave within two or three days. Fan Zeng and Yingbu went to see the overlord and told them all about the past. When the overlord heard that Emperor Yi had been killed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Except for the trouble of my henchmen." Fan Zeng said: "The trouble of the henchmen is not in the righteous emperor but in Liu Bang, if Your Majesty moves the capital today, Liu Bang will soon decide to go out of Hanzhong!" The overlord said: "The plank road is burned out, and I expect Liu Bang to fly out with his wings." Fan Zeng said: "Your Majesty moved the capital to Sanqin and slack, his people must have great ambitions, and they will raise heroes to compete with Your Majesty, and it is easy to get out of this plank road!" I hope that Your Majesty will not move the capital. The overlord said: "My order has been issued, and the civil and military equipment has been prepared, how can there be any reason to stop?" Yafu doesn't have to worry about it, Liu Bang can't do anything. Yingbu said: "Recently, there have been rebels from all walks of life, and the ministers are afraid that as soon as Your Majesty leaves Xianyang, the people's hearts will be sluggish, and it will be difficult to defend this place, and Your Majesty must not worry." The overlord said angrily: "I have been invincible since the Huiji uprising, and all those who rebel are not talented, what is the use? The matter of moving the capital has been decided, and there is no need to say more! If there is resistance, take Han Sheng as a lesson. Fan Zeng and the others sighed and walked down the hall, so they had to prepare their bags and set off.
