27 Han Shin worships the general

However, it was said that in the early dynasty of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Bo and others said: "The generals of the Kwantung region, there are more than a dozen people who died. Prime Minister Xiao He will not resign, today two days! King Han was shocked and said angrily: "Xiao He rebelled from my abundance, and he did not taste separation for a while. The other generals either gathered or followed each other halfway, and it is not surprising that they are gone today. Although Xiao He and I are named kings and ministers, they are actually the same father and son, why did they leave me too? "The king of Han ate and ate, and when he went to the palace and went out of the palace, he was impatient in his heart, such as losing his left and right hands. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the forbidden door ambassador come to report and say: "Prime Minister Xiao Cheng and Teng Gong are back!" King Han was happy and angry when he saw it: "The erector has been with me for several years, and I have not tasted a day of abandonment, and many generals have died recently, how can you also go?" Xiao He said: "The minister received the grace of the king of Han and was the prime minister of a country, why did the king of Han lose to the minister, and the minister died?" The minister chased the dead overnight, wanting to return to the east for my king, in order to restore Guanzhong and take the world. The king said, "Who is after whom?" Xiao He said: "Chase Han Xinye." King Han smiled and said: "All the generals and the dead do not chase after them, but they say that they are chasing Han Xin?" Xiao He said: "The generals are easy to get, but Han Xin is hard to find." If the King of Han wants to be the king of Hanzhong, it doesn't matter whether Han Xin goes or not, if he wants to compete with King Xiang, he wants to go east and want the world, and Han Xin is not enough to discuss it! If the king does not use Han Xin, the ministers will be exempted from the crown and accepted to my king, and he is willing to return to the field, so that he will not be captured by Xiang Yu in the future. Xiahou Ying also said: "What Xiao He said is really for the country, not for Han Xin, loyal to the Lord, and the king should know the importance of it." The king of Han said: "When Qing and others heard him talk about it, they thought it was available." The safety of the country and the survival of the three armies depend on one person. If you lightly believe him as a general for a while, but you will pay 300,000 soldiers and horses to him to manage, and 70 generals will listen to his constraints, if according to the words of the prime minister, Sanqin can be broken by Xiang Yu, and he will be recommended today. I heard that Han Xin's death could not be buried, and there was no plan; The chief of the hermit pavilion begs for food and drifts his mother, and he is incompetent; The humiliated crotch of the countryman is cheap, and he has no courage; It is useless to hold the halberd for three years. People who seem to have nothing like this, Xiangguo should think about it! Xiao He said: "According to the king's words, it is also reasonable, but I am afraid that it is not the case with the minister's view." Confucius was trapped by Chen Cai, not incompetent; Kuang people surround it, not without courage; It is not useless to die in old age. Today, Han Xin's humiliation and begging are not timely; The official stopped holding the halberd, but he did not meet his master. The ministers and the letter are insightful, really useful materials, the world's wonders, and they are not in vain! The minister treats the crime and assists in seeking talent, and now he can't lift the virtuous, and he doesn't reuse the virtuous, so the minister is restless day and night, and he risks death for the king. King Han said: "Today's color will be fed, Qing will return, tomorrow morning, and the Qing and other meetings." ”

Xiao He and Teng Gong came back to meet with the letter: "The King of Han will meet tomorrow, and worship the prince as a general." The letter said: "King Han is still hesitating, and Ergong is bothered!" Xiao He said: "If the king of Han does not use the public, we will resolutely abandon the official and go, and dare not bully," Han Xin said: "In Chu, Fan Zeng and I also knew each other very well, and repeatedly recommended the overlord and did not listen." Later, Fan Zengzuo made Peng Cheng, and when he left, he played three things: first, he could not let the king of Han into Hanzhong; The second piece cannot be separated from Xianyang; The third thing is to reuse Han Xin, and if you don't use it, you should kill it. A certain king of Zhixiang must not be used, and he will eventually be murdered by Fan Zeng, and he has no other intention to return to Han with his back from Chu! The public has done his best for the country day and night, and now there is a thing to see with the public demolition, discipline the Han King to analyze the doubts, and avoid the bitter words of the country. Xiao He asked him what he had to give him a look, Han Xin took out Zhang Liangjiao's book from his book bag, Xiao He was shocked when he saw the Jiaoshu, and immediately bowed down to the ground and said: "The virtuous prince has been here for a long time, why don't you want to send it out?" It makes me work hard all day long! If the king of Han sees this book, if he has to win the city, there is no doubt about it. Han Xin said: "A certain young man is poor and cheap. I am afraid that when I first came to join the Han, I didn't see the length of the inch, and the prime minister never saw the letter, so the corner book of the ovary was temporarily hidden. Waiting for the public to strongly recommend, the kid showed less foolishness, and now he is like-minded, and then he reads the corner book, and the heart of the public is relieved. Xiao He bowed and said: "The virtuous man is really a hero in the world, what he sees is different from the ordinary, the more important he is, and he can't give up!" So they went to bed.

The next day, Xiao He held Zhang Liangjiao's book with a smile on his face. King Han took the book and watched it, and exclaimed: "Han Xin has a horn book, why has he always refused to send it?" Xiao Hebei knew Han Xin's previous feelings, and Han Wang said: "Qing has repeatedly recommended it, but he has failed to win the trust, but Zhang Zifang also has a corner book recommendation, and the heroes of the world see the same, it can be seen that Han Xinshi has great talent, and I see the dim, and I know it today!" can worship Han Xin as a general, with the meaning of deputy recommendation. Xiao He said: "The ministers recommend the virtuous for the country, not their own selfishness." Today, according to Zhang Liangjiao's book, the king of Han knew that his ministers had seen something, and it was not indiscriminate. But now I worship the letter as a general, and I am afraid that Han Xin will not be left behind. King Han said: "Worship the general is afraid of Han Xin, but worship as a general, and add a knighthood, Han Xin can stay." Xiao He said: "If you worship as a general, Han Xin can stay." But I don't know how to bow down? The king of Han said: "Summoned to worship Keye." Xiao He said: "Wang Su is slow and rude, and now he worships the general like a child." In the king, worship is the most important, if the minister looks at it, Han Xin is gone. The king of Han said, "Then how can we do it?" Xiao He said: "If the king worships Han Xin as a general, he must choose a day to fast, set up an altar to worship heaven and earth, such as the Yellow Emperor's worship of the wind, the worship of the martial king Lu Wang, and then the worship of the general." The king of Han said: "It is as accurate as the Qing discussion." Xiao He thanked Han Xin and said that the king of Han would build an altar to worship the general, and thank him. Within ten days, Xiao He painted a picture book of building an altar to worship the general, and went up to the Han King to watch.

King Han was overjoyed, and he was ordered to supervise the management of the baby, which was completed within one month. The infant leader built an altar in the west of the city, and the people of all colors prepared in turn.

On that day, Xiao He recommended Han Xin, but outsiders never knew that when they saw the altar, everyone thought that they would be generals. Fan Hao said: "I and the King of Han raised abundant troops, so we got Guanzhong, rescued Hongmen, entered Han with the army, and the ministers of the society were also those who shared hardships." Build an altar today to worship the generals, but I am enough to deserve it. Everyone said: "I recommend the great sage to Wen Xiao Xiangguo, but I don't know who it is." If you talk about it from the original heroes, there are only a few people such as Fan Xu, Zhou Bo, and Teng Gong, and it is not expected that there will be no other than the princes. I saw the infant to play the King of Han: "The altar has been built, Your Majesty can choose an auspicious day to worship the general." King Han said: "How can Xuan Xiao come to discuss!" Xiao He said: "The auspicious day has been chosen, and all the people have been dispatched, please ask the king to stay in the palace and fast in one or two days, so that the hundred officials will tell the people, clear the royal road and serve the generals, and the yamen will not be detained, not punished, not slaughtered, not drunk, and not meat." So the king of Han fasted for three days with the civil and military officials.

To the period of the Han King drove, went to the Xiangguo Mansion, passed the order to hold Han Xin on the car, and pushed the wheel hub out of the west gate. The flags on both sides reflect the sun, the golden drums shake the sky, the Wenchen Eguanbo leads the column to the left, and the military generals wear helmets and armor to follow the right, and the dust is not full of incense and fog. At the beginning, when the generals heard that they built an altar to worship the generals, they all thought that they would be generals. And when he saw the king of Han driving to Xiangguo's mansion, the general he worshipped was Han Xinye, and the three armies were shocked. Wuyang Marquis Fan Xu followed the Han King after the royal car, and said to Zhou Bo and others: "I have worked hard to follow the lord here, and it has been three years now, how can I be restrained by the crotch husband?" How can a husband be willing to accept his grievances and not declare his heart? So hurriedly dismounted and rushed to the king of Han to drive and shouted: "Please stop the king's chariot, the minister has a word to say: Han Xin is a hungry man in Huaiyin, begging and drifting mother, humiliated crotch, in Chu for the halberd, abandon Chu to empty fishing lips and tongues, no size of the merit, the king worships him as a general, so that King Xiang heard the decisive laughter, the princes of the world think that there is no one in my Han, but use this crotch man as a general, do not wait to fight with the enemy, people know the truth and falsehood. Hinder the enthusiasm of the three armies, grow the enemy's courage, Sanqin must not go down, Qiang Chu must not be broken, look at this is not a trivial matter! I hope Your Majesty will think about it. King Han listened to Fan Xu's words and hesitated in the car. Xiao He strode forward and said, "No, no! If you encounter a charge to break the enemy, you can use your strength. If the strategic decision-making is to win a hundred battles, the ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and they can't know each other, and General Han is not enough to deserve it. You can only listen to his command, and dare to make this statement lightly to disturb the army's heart? I am now living in the country, but the matter of worshipping the general has been decided, and you will be beheaded if you do not obey the military law and do not obey the military law. Xiahou Ying also said: "Your Majesty has issued an order for everyone to obey, but Fan Hao said in vain before driving, if everyone is made to follow suit, why does Your Majesty go east?" How did Marshal Han practice the law? Why is it a pity that Fan Hao is alone, and it is a major national event? When the king of Han heard this, he was also angry, so he captured Fan Xu, and listened to the fate.

The king of Han immediately went to the palace to wash his hands, and then sent an order to the civil and military officials and deacons to take place according to the original etiquette and salute, if there is any noise and loss of etiquette, it will be carried out by military law. Only listen to the three cannons all the way to the fragrant wind, the usher guides Han Xin to the altar, the king of Han holds the dragon chapter and the phoenix seal, the band plays the chapter of eight sounds, Taishi reads the blessing and says:

"Liu Bang, the king of Hanzhong, announced to the emperor God and the earth god Yuan: The ministers rely on the virtue of heaven and earth, and purge Haiyu to seek talents for the country, which is to worship Han Xin as a general, and to exclude the right to conquer, the demonic atmosphere of the world, and the righteousness of the world; After following the Yellow Emperor's worship of the wind, Da Shun worshiped Gao Tao, Yin Tang worshiped Yi Yin, and Zhou Wu worshiped Lu Wang. This book is tyrannical and the West Chu betrays the king, kills the king and robs the tomb to get money, opens the palace and slaughters Xianyang, and burns Afang Tian is disgusted with the anger of the gods. Han Xin has the opportunity of ghosts and gods, holds the ambition of the difficulty of the sea, and the heroes and heroes are unparalleled among the people. Feast!

The Taishi official read the blessing text, and after the king of Han finished saluting, he worshiped Han Xin as the general of Pochu. The king of Han personally held the tiger talisman jade festival and the golden seal sword and gave it to Han Xin and said: "From now on, the sky will go up, and the bottom will go to the abyss, and all of them will be controlled by the general." The general admires it! ”

Han Xin knelt down and said: "The minister can't rule the country from the outside, the army can't control from the middle, the two can't serve the king, and the suspicion can't deal with the enemy." Since the minister was ordered, he dared not to do his best to repay His Majesty! King Han was overjoyed and said: "I hate the general's night!" So he went down to the altar with Han Xin.

The next day, hundreds of officials went to the court, and the warriors escorted Fan Hao outside the court gate to listen to the order. King Han said: "I worship Han Xin as a general, according to Xiao Hezhi's three recommendations, will Zhang Liang's horn book, listen to his ambitions, and know that he is a useful talent; Fan Xuzhen's relatives, who relied on their high merit and conflicted honor guards, obstructed their nonsense, and had no courtesy, and were captured yesterday, and the law should be punished, and the three armies of the police should be punished. ”

Xiao He said: "The lord is trapped in Hanzhong, thinking about the general all day long, and now he has Han Xin, which is really a great fortune for the country, and the princes also have to return to the east." Fan Hao is ignorant, he makes such wild words, and he should be punished for breaking the law, but he reads the abundant father, the Hongmen protector, and intends to be lenient to praise his achievements. If you violate the axe again, it is inevitable. Please take it from the Holy Judgment. ”

The king of Han immediately issued an edict: "Fan Xu is rebellious, it seems that it is difficult to forgive, and he has a resignation for discussion, and he obeys what he discusses, and still orders to march with guilt and listen to the military control." As soon as he sang and harmonized, the close ministers immediately issued a decree to release Fan Xu.

From then on, Fan Xu obeyed Han Xin's moderation.
