Linzi, Han Palace.

Meng Ke sat in front of Liu Ji and said with a solemn expression: "Today's Western Qin has a vast territory, the country is rich and the people are safe, and the country has a million, which is not something that the Han State can compete with." ”

"If the King of Han wants to seize the world, he must join forces with the State of Chu and Nanyue to jointly attack the Western Qin and divide the land and people of the Western Qin, I wonder if the King of Han can realize this?"

Liu Ji frowned when he heard this, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, he had only fought a few battles with the Chu State not long ago, and he suffered heavy losses, and now he was going to join forces with the Chu State, what is this?

Although he didn't like it in his heart, Liu Ji didn't want to refuse it openly, so he said haha: "Ke Sheng, this is really a lonely question, in terms of understanding of the struggle for hegemony in the world, it is less than one-tenth of the right minister Zhang Liang, Ke Sheng might as well ask his opinion?"

After saying this, Liu Ji's eyes fell on Zhang Liang, with a look of expectation.

Zhang Liang got up and saluted Meng Ke and Liu Ji respectively: "Returning to the king, according to what the ministers have seen, Ke Sheng's words are reasonable, if you want to dominate the world, you must first sweep away Western Qin." ”

"With the strength of the Han State, it is by no means an opponent of the Western Qin, and it is imperative to unite the Chu State and South Vietnam. ”

Liu Ji's eyes flashed with anger, and the smile on his face remained unchanged and said, "The right minister is really a good opinion, what do you think of the left minister?"

Xiao He just wanted to respond, but Li Shiqi took the first step to get up and bowed: "King Qiqi, Weichen has something to say." ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "If Li Qing has any ideas, just come along." ”

Li Shiqi straightened up, pointed at Zhang Liang and said, "The minister implores the king to cure Zhang Liang for treason and betrayal." ”

Liu Ji was stunned when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Li Qingxiu wants to talk nonsense, the right is relatively lonely and loyal, what is the crime?"

Li Shiqi said unceremoniously: "Zhang Liang, this thief is loyal and dignified, and the king should not be deceived by him." According to the minister's understanding, Zhang Liang has three major crimes, any of which can destroy his entire clan. ”

"One of his sins, collaborating with the enemy. A few days ago, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han State fought to the death with the Chu army in the Yandu area to protect the Han State Sheji, and now the blood has not dried up, Zhang Liang actually supports the alliance between the Han State and the Chu State, doesn't it make the loyal people feel cold?"

"If the soldiers are cold and refuse to work for the Han State anymore, who will resist when the army of the Chu State invades the border?"

The minister inquired and learned that Zhang Liang had a very personal relationship with Xiang Ji, the king of Chu, and there was every reason to suspect that he had fornicated with the Chu State, so he would use such a vicious scheme to assassinate the Han State. ”

"The second crime is to make enemies of Western Qin and bring disaster to the Han State. The minister sent an envoy to Western Qin on the order of the king, and lived up to his expectations and allied with Western Qin, Western Qin was a friend but not an enemy in the Han State, and the minister really didn't know why Zhang Liang wanted to join forces with Chu State to deal with Western Qin?"

"It must be known that the strength of Western Qin is far superior to that of Han, and it is not easy to maintain peace and quiet, if Han and Chu form an alliance and fight with Western Qin, and Western Qin sends a large army to attack, how will Han deal with it?"

"At that time, the state of Chu is thousands of miles away, and it can stay out of the matter, and the Han state is connected to the Western Qin, and the two face the millions of troops of the Western Qin, dare to ask the king, can you have the confidence to resist?"

"With the fortune of the Han State to complete the Chu State, if Zhang Liang is not a traitor, how can he do such a thing?"

"The third ...... of his sin"

Li Shiqi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xiao He and persuaded in a low voice: "Enough, this is not Zhang Liang's proposal, but a Confucian proposal, you don't have to make mistakes." ”

Li Shiqi said angrily when he heard this: "The Han Kingdom is the Han Kingdom of the Han King, not the Confucian Han Kingdom, as a Han minister, I should think about the King of Han, not him Zhang Liang, relying on flattery to the Confucianism." ”

"The third crime is that he has no king, he does not think about the king of Han in everything, but only for his own selfish interests, and his crime should be punished. ”

"The minister asked the king of Han to kill Zhang Liang to set an example. ”

Liu Ji listened to the first half of the part, and felt very relieved, but when he heard Li Shiqi say that he wanted to kill Zhang Liang, his eyes suddenly wandered, pretending to be too empty in the fugue.

Seeing this, Li Shiqi showed a look of grief and indignation, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The rebellious ministers and thieves are in charge, what can they do?"

Zhang Liang interrupted in a cold voice on the side: "Li Shiqi, have you finished spilling?"

"Do you think that if you ally with Western Qin, the other party will let go of the Han Kingdom? Once the time is ripe, Western Qin will definitely send troops to sweep the world. ”

"If you don't take advantage of the fact that the strength of Western Qin is not enough to destroy the Three Kingdoms now, and join forces to suppress them, there will be endless troubles in the future. ”

"As for the alliance with the Chu State, don't you even understand that you only have eternal interests and no eternal enemies?"

Li Shiqi only sneered when he heard this, and said with a disdainful face: "Collaborate with the enemy." ”

Zhang Liang's face darkened, and he no longer paid attention to Li Shiqi, anyway, no matter how Li Shiqi objected, even Chu and Qin must be executed.

At this time, Meng Ke spoke: "This seat only emphasizes once, this matter is a matter set by my master Confucian saint and other saints, and no one can object to it. ”

"Whoever opposes it is an enemy of Confucianism, and if you don't want to bear the anger of Confucianism, it's best to hold it in your heart and not say it. ”

After speaking, Meng Ke glanced at Li Shiqi coldly, and the warning was self-evident.

Although he can't confront Confucianism, it doesn't mean that he has to obey Confucianism, and he should be dissatisfied.

Xiao He, who was robbed of the conversation by Li Shiqi, bowed to Meng Ke and said: "Ke Sheng's words, we will keep them in mind, but there is one point, I want to make it clear." ”

"Confucianism decided that the Han State would fully cooperate, but it was hoped that Confucianism could ensure the interests of the Han State and not let the Han State be thankless. ”

Meng Ke replied indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this matter, since the King of Han is the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven favored by my master and Confucian saint, the world will be his after all." ”

Meng Ke said this, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly fell silent.

The fact that Liu Ji is the Emperor of the Mandate of Heaven was heard by the people in the hall a few years ago, but seeing that a few years have passed, there is no sign of it.

Meng Ke coughed lightly, stood up and said: "The words have been brought, and I hope that you will wholeheartedly prepare for the attack on Western Qin. ”

"I won't tell you how to deal with the specific matters. ”

Meng Ke was just about to turn around and leave, when a figure came from outside and said in a loud voice: "Confucian edict, Chu, Han, Nanyue, and the Three Kingdoms are united and under the command of Hu Hai." ”

Meng Ke frowned slightly and asked, "Bu Shang, is this order really issued by the teacher?"

Bu Shang nodded and said, "Back to Senior Brother Meng, it is indeed the order that the teacher just given. ”

Li Shiqi was like crazy when he heard this, and shouted: "I don't agree, and I resolutely do not allow the decision on the fate of the Han Kingdom to be handed over to others." ”

"My lord, this is the way to die in the country, and I must not agree to it. ”

Meng Ke's face turned black in an instant, and with a flick of his fingers, he blasted Li Shiqi into the pillar, sticking to it, unable to struggle down.

After Meng Ke made this move, he looked at Liu Ji with a calm face, and asked softly, "What does King Han think?"

Liu Ji looked at Meng Ke with a solemn expression, and decisively ordered: "Come on, blast Li Shiqi out." ”
