52. Fan Ju's past
Xianyang, Xiangfu.
"Has Zheng Anping's family been dealt with?" Fan Ju asked softly.
"Back to Xiangye, everything has been dealt with, and the heads have been piled up and placed at the gate of Xianyang City. Tomorrow morning, everyone will be able to see it. ”
"Okay, well done, you stand down." Fan Ju waved his hand weakly and sat down on the Hu bed.
Just now, he personally ordered to kill all the Zheng family, who were like relatives with him, and not one of them would be left.
These people helped him when Fan Ju was in Wei.
At that time, Fan Ju was jealous and framed by Su Jia because of his outstanding performance when he was in the Qi Kingdom, and was almost beaten to death.
Fan Ju deliberately pretended to be dead in order to survive, but was rolled up with a straw mat and thrown into the latrine. At that time, Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei State, who listened to Su Jia's slander, also asked the guests attending the banquet to urinate on Fan Ju's body to humiliate, which was also a warning to the people around him.
It was Zheng Anping who bribed the officials guarding the corpse to rescue Fan Ju.
At that time, it was the Zheng family who was now ordered to be beheaded by him to take him in, take care of him, help him recuperate, and help him recover.
It was also through Zheng Anping's introduction that when Wang Ji, the envoy of King Zhao of Qin, sent an envoy to Wei, Fan Ju named Zhang Lu was able to get acquainted with Wang Ji and came to Qin with the help of Wang Ji.
After a year of waiting in the Qin State, Fan Ju finally soared into the sky.
Fan Ju will take revenge as a man, and he first waited for Su Jia, who went to Qin as an envoy. At that time, although Fan Ju became Xiangguo, his name was still Zhang Lu. Suja didn't know anything about it.
So Fan Ju put on civilian clothes and went to the inn to see Su Jia.
Xu Jia thought that Fan Ju had died a long time ago, and he didn't expect to see Fan Ju in Qin State, but he saw Fan Ju dressed in tatters, and asked, "What are you doing in Qin State now?" ”
Fan Ju deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and replied, "I'm working as an errand for the government." ”
Xu Jia looked at Fan Ju's down-and-out appearance, and thought that he had framed Fan Ju to let him fall into this field. The remnants of humanity made him feel guilty, and it was this humanity that ultimately saved Suja's life.
Xu Jia said: "I didn't expect Fan Ju that you have fallen to this now, but there is still hope for you to live." ”
He asked Fan Ju to stay and eat together, and asked the servant to give Fan Ju a thick silk robe that he had worn.
After the five flavors of the dish, the ghost of Su Jia asked in a strange way: "I don't know if Fan Ju will know that there is a Xiangguo surnamed Zhang Jun in the Qin State." I heard that the king of Qin is now obedient to him. ”
Fan Ju smiled and said, "I know this, the master I serve is very familiar with him, and I can also ask to see him." It's not easy to know your hometown in another country, so let me introduce you to it. ”
Su Jia was a little moved, but said worriedly: "My horse suddenly fell ill and couldn't move, and the axle of the car I went out was also broken. A person of status like me, if he did not get on a four-horse cart, he would not be able to go out, and he would be ridiculed. ”
Fan Ju was disdainful in his heart, but he said: "I am willing to borrow a four-horse cart from my master for you." ”
Su Jia didn't believe what Fan Ju said at first.
But when Fan Ju personally drove the cart pulled by four majestic horses to the door of the inn, he was a little shocked.
Talents will shine wherever they go, and Fan Ju, who is an errand soldier, must be very satisfied with his master. This was Suja's idea at the time.
The wheels were rolling, the horses' hooves were flying, and Fan Ju drove directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State, and there was no one to stop him along the way.
Seeing this, Su Jia was very curious, and wanted to ask many times, but he was afraid that it would affect Fan Ju's driving, and when the car overturned, his life would be in danger.
When he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fan Sui said to Xu Jia: "Please wait a moment, let me go in and report it." ”
In the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Qin State, Xu Jia completely lost his usual radiance, and was as well-behaved as a little cat.
He grabbed the reins and waited in the prime minister's mansion for a long time. The horse is fierce, and he is afraid that he will not be able to control the horse, and when there is a mess, he offends Zhang Xiang, and he is very embarrassed.
Finally, after a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore and asked the doorman next to him: "May I ask if you know Fan Ju." He said he went in and informed you Zhang Xiangguo. Why hasn't it been so long, and it hasn't come out yet. ”
The doorman originally saw that Xu Jia was brought in by Fan Ju himself, and with a little respect, he replied: "There is no one named Fan Ju here." ”
"It's strange, it's the guy who helped me drive just now."
The doorman looked at Xu Jia strangely, as if he was looking at a neurotic, and only after a long time did he speak: "That's our Xiangguo, Zhang Lu!" ”
Yes! Su Jia was like five thunderbolts, standing on the spot.
It turned out that Fan Ju was Zhang Xiangguo of the Qin State, the person who could influence the thoughts of the King of Qin.
It turned out that Fan Ju was just going to trick himself in.
Su Jia trembled when he thought of what he had done to Fan Ju before, as if he saw Fan Ju ordering his subordinates to put him in a straw mat, beat him to death, and then throw him into the pit, and then let people pee on the pit before.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Thinking of this,
Su Jia quickly took off his shirt, knelt on his knees, walked forward on his knees, and said to the doorman: "Please help me tell Xiangguo, I know that I am wrong, please forgive him." ”
In a short time, dozens of attendants set up a huge and ornate tent in the open space in front of Suja, and all kinds of exquisite furniture were moved out.
Fan Ju didn't even want to see Su Jia in the lobby, but wore a gorgeous prime minister's costume, held his head high, and sat on the Hu bed in front of the tent, his face cold.
Su Jia saw Fan Sui knocking his head, calling it a capital crime, and said, "Fan Xiangguo is really talented, I really didn't expect you to be able to achieve such a high position." From now on, I don't dare to read the world's books anymore, and I don't dare to participate in the world's affairs anymore.
I have committed a great sin that should be divided by five horses, and I am willing to exile me to a desolate and barbaric frontier, please forgive me for my sins! ”
Fan Ju asked, "How many crimes do you have?" ”
Suja hurriedly replied, "Plucking my hair to count my sins is not enough." ”
Fan Ju said: "You know your guilt yourself, and killing you a hundred times is not enough to calm my anger and the humiliation I have suffered.
But today you gave me a silk robe. It shows that you still have a little bit of an old friend attachment to me. I decided to give you a way out and let you go. But from now on, Qin would no longer receive envoys from Wei.
Since you left me for a meal today, I don't want to owe you, so I will leave you for a meal."
After speaking, Fan Ju clapped his hands, and the waiter served a very rich meal of wine and food like flowing water, some dishes, Xu Jiagui was a high-ranking official of Wei State, and he had never seen it.
Several envoys from other countries who came to visit Fan Ju were also invited to dinner.
However, Su Jia sat on the outside, and in front of him was a trough of fodder for feeding horse grass beans.
Two prisoners with tattoos on their faces held horse spoons on either side of Sujia and forced Sujia to eat them like dogs.
Seeing that Su Jia was about to be held to death, Fan Ju motioned for the two prisoners to stand back, and said coldly: "Tell me King Wei, hurry up and bring Wei Qi's head!" Otherwise, I'll have to slaughter the beams. ”
Su Jia escaped with his life, returned to Wei State, and told Wei Qi about the situation, Wei Qi was so frightened that he fled to Zhao State, hiding in Pingyuan Jun's house, thinking that he could escape.
Unexpectedly, the king of Qin also sent troops to Wei and made a gesture of attacking Wei. Fan Ju's favor can be seen.
After several twists and turns, Wei Qi finally killed himself in a desperate situation.
It can be seen that Fan Ju has clear grievances and grievances, and he will definitely repay all the small favors that have given him a meal, and he will definitely take revenge for the small grievances and small hatreds that have glared at him.
At Fan Ju's suggestion, King Zhaoxiang of Qin appointed Wang Ji and Zheng Anping as the commander and general of Hedong County respectively.
This incident caused an uproar within the Qin State.
Two people who did not have much merit were promoted, which made many people unconvinced.
Although in the eyes of King Qin, the credit for discovering Fan Ju is very great.
In order to block the mouth of Youyou, let Zheng Anping be further promoted, grasp the military power, and for the sake of logistics stability, let Zheng Anping go to the rear of the Changping front.
It was supposed to kill two birds with one stone.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Anping surrendered.
This is a great shame that has not happened in the Qin army for decades!
There was a lot of discussion in the court of the Qin State, and some people even pointed the finger at Fan Ju.
In desperation, although Fan Ju's heart was like a knife, he could only personally order to kill his life-saving benefactor Zheng Anping's family.
He didn't do it all to save himself from criticism, but to keep King Qin from making it difficult for him.
Although he is a thousand-mile horse, but without the Bole of King Qin, how can he soar to the sky.
The king of Qin treats Fan Ju as a national soldier, and Fan Ju must repay him with all his might.
It's just that when he sits alone, Fan Ju must be saddened by this cruel order under his own hands.
The cruelty of war is often not only about stumps and severed arms on the battlefield, but also corpses strewn everywhere.
Along with the war, there are countless swords and swords in the rear, and rivers of blood flow.
