The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 228 Tunliu Rebellion [Please subscribe and vote]

Fan Yuqi was silent. In fact, there was a private debate among the old gentry of the Qin State. They believed that King Qin Zhuangxiang intended to establish Chengyu as the crown prince and succeed him to the throne, otherwise he would not have named Chengyu.

However, King Zhuangxiang of Qin died, and Lu Buwei was in power and supported Zhao Zheng to ascend the throne, so they had nothing to do.

"Now that Meng Ao is leading his army outside, the general has the only available troops for Qin!" Yan Dan continued, then tilted his head and fell drunk in front of the case.

Fan Yuqi looked at Prince Dan who was drunk on the bill, with deep eyes, thinking about Yan Dan's last words.

The five kingdoms united, and the Qin State had almost defeated all the available troops. Now, Meng Ao led another 50,000 troops in Wangdu, far away from Xianyang, and the 50,000 troops in his hands were also the last available troops of the entire Qin State.

If he issued a proclamation in the name of Cheng Xi, those generals with heavy troops in Qin would definitely sit back and watch.

"Come here, take Prince Dan down to rest!" Fan Yuqi ordered people to take Prince Dan away and sit alone in the tent thinking all night.

But Yan Dan, who was helped away and returned to his tent, opened his eyes and was still a little bit drunk.

"Zhao Zheng!" Yan Dan's eyes were gloomy. If Fan Yuqi and others were dissatisfied with Lu Buwei's transformation from a merchant to the prime minister of Qin because of his service to the dragon.

Then he was dissatisfied with Ying Zheng. They worked together as protons in Zhao State, but the treatment of protons was also very different. At that time, Yan State was powerful and he was prosperous in Zhao State, while Ying Zheng was It was difficult to survive in Zhao State.

But who would have thought that in just a few years, Ying Zheng would become the king of the Qin Dynasty, but he was still just a prince of the Yan Kingdom who was used as a hostage everywhere. Even the name of the prince was just to increase his status as a hostage.

Therefore, he didn't mind and was happy to spread the news that Ying Zheng was not the biological son of King Qin, and that he was the one who directed the whole concubinage-stealing thing.

Now, he is no longer satisfied with the death of some scandals. He wants Ying Zheng to die, a person who was once inferior to him in everything, but now he can only kneel down and see him die!

As for what will happen to Fan Yuqi and Cheng Yu, it's none of his business. He just doesn't want Ying Zheng to have an easy time!

Even if Fan Yuqi and Cheng Yu failed in their rebellion, the seeds of taking concubines and stealing the country have been sown, and there will definitely be a gap between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, and Ying Zheng will also lose his biggest supporter.

Without Lu Buwei's support, how could Ying Zheng be in charge of the huge Qin State?

Thinking of this, Yan Dan's eyes became even more gloomy!

Fan Yuqi also went to see Cheng Xi again.

"Have you ever heard of the crime of taking concubines and stealing the country while you were in Tunliu?" Fan Yuqi asked tentatively.

Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Fan Yuqi coldly. He knew this himself. Although he was not familiar with military affairs, he had also heard that this was a common tactic used in battles between the two armies. The purpose was to drive a wedge between him and Brother Wang. I thought that a veteran like Fan Yuqi would be able to tell the difference, but I didn't expect that Fan Yuqi actually took it seriously.

"Of course I've heard about it!" Cheng Yu nodded indifferently, wondering what else Fan Yuqi wanted to say.

"The current king is not the flesh and blood of the previous king, but you are your legitimate son!" Fan Yuqi continued.

"General, be careful!" Cheng Yu's eyes became even colder!

"Your Majesty, are you seventeen now?" Fan Yuqi did not stop.

"It's seventeen, so what?" Cheng Yu asked.

"If there are three more years, your Majesty will reach the age of crown. But can you really live to reach the age of crown?" Fan Yu Qiruo asked meaningfully.

"What do you mean, general?" Cheng Yu was really panicked.

After all, he was just a young man who was protected in a greenhouse. A young man of only seventeen years old, but he was suddenly shocked to hear that it was a matter of life and death, and he suddenly lost his sense of proportion.

"How could the bloody feud between Qin and Zhao be resolved so easily? However, General Meng Ao and his army were far away in Qingdu, not with you. You had to lead the army alone to face Handan. You never thought about it. Why?" Fan Yuqi continued to ask questions.

Cheng Yu suddenly panicked. He had heard about Zhao's bravery. Not long ago, Pang Nuan led the Zhao army to Baqiao, Xianyang.

"If Prime Minister Lu and your Majesty are sincerely paving the way for your Majesty, why is it that the one staying in Tunliu at this moment is not General Meng Ao but General Zhang Tang?" Fan Yuqi continued.

"What the general means is that Brother Wang and Prime Minister Lu want to use Zhao Guo's help to eradicate me!" Cheng Yu asked hesitantly.

"Your Majesty is the only bloodline of the late king, and he will be able to participate in politics in three years. If people know that Zhao Zheng's bloodline is not good, do you think they can still sleep?"

Cheng Yu was completely silent after listening to Fan Yuqi's words.

"Then what should I do?" Cheng Yu grabbed Fan Yuqi's arm in a hurry and asked eagerly.

"Now the Meng Ao soldiers are trapped in Zhao, unable to return in a hurry, and the emperor has a heavy army. If you send a message to declare the crime of adultery, and the palace is deceitful, none of the subjects will accept the direct heir." Fan Yuqi sent it out. own strategy. "This~this~this~" Cheng Yu couldn't make up his mind for a moment. This was asking him to rebel! I paced back and forth in the tent, not knowing what to do at all.

On the one hand, it is rebellion, and on the other hand, his own life safety. Either way, it will cost him his life, but the risk of resistance is high, and the benefits are greater.

"Your Majesty, it is better to make your decision as soon as possible. The Zhao army will be here soon! Zhang Tang will be here soon too!" Fan Yuqi urged.

"Whether Zhao Jun arrives first or Zhang Tang arrives, he will not let you go. Zhang Tang wants to kill you. He has many ways. After killing you, he can blame Zhao State and cause chaos in the war!" Fan Yuqi said.

Cheng Yu became even more panicked and had no choice but to seek medical treatment urgently. He looked at Fan Yuqi expectantly and asked, "General, what should I do?"

"Zhang Tang will come soon to urge you to lead the army to the front line. You can pretend to tell the envoy that the army will move to the camp today!" Fan Yuqi said seriously.

Cheng Yu nodded and took note, and as expected, as Fan Yuqi expected, the envoys from the King of Qin and those sent back by Zhang Tang arrived quickly, urging the army to rush to the front line as soon as possible to join the battle.

Cheng Yu also followed Fan Yuqi's instructions and sent away the envoy perfunctorily.

"General, what should we do next?" Cheng Yu continued to ask.

Fan Yuqi didn't say much, but took out an appeal and asked Cheng Yu to spread it around as the only legitimate son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin.

The letter was written very wildly, saying that Lu Buwei had taken concubines and robbed the country, that Ying Zheng was not the heir of King Zhuangxiang of Qin, but the son of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, and also said that Lu Buwei stayed in the palace at night, made peace with Zhao Ji every day, was lewd and deceitful, and was pregnant with the palace. Words such as pregnancy and rape, stealing the country and becoming a prince all appeared in the slogan.

For a time, all the generals of the Qin army stationed in the four borders hesitated. Most of them were old nobles of the Qin State, and they had been dissatisfied with Lu Buwei for a long time, and they had also heard about taking concubines and stealing the country these days.

The most important thing is that the real deception is to mix fake things with real things. The fornication between Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji is not a secret in Xianyang. Qin State also has this tradition.

But they couldn't stand the mixture of truth and falsehood, so after seeing the appeal, the generals in the four realms also believed it. However, these people were also afraid of Lu Buwei and did not dare to raise troops to respond, so they all chose a wait-and-see attitude.

"I'll fuck your mother!" Zhang Tang, who received the message from the front line, was going crazy. He was carrying the Zhao army alone at the front line, but when the rear side gave him such a big hand, he was so anxious that he cursed his mother.

And Zhang Tang did not dare to return to Tunliu, so he rushed back to Shangdang directly from the front line and at night, because he knew that Lu Xiang and the king were now in Shangdang, and he had to inform Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei of the Chengyu rebellion as soon as possible. middle.

Therefore, when Zhang Tang rushed back to Shangdang, the entire army around Tunliu fell into Fan Yuqi's hands.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, the Lord of Chang'an has rebelled!" Zhang Tang didn't have time to say anything more. After seeing Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, he fell to his knees on the ground in tears.

"What did you say? Say it again!" Ying Zheng, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, suddenly changed his face. He couldn't believe his ears. Was he planning to rebel? how come? How can it be?

They consider Chengyu at every step and pave the way for Chengyu's future. If Chengyu doesn't know how to be grateful, why would he dare to rebel? What good would rebellion do him?

"Chang'an Jun Chengyu gathered troops to rebel, and Tunliu fell!" Zhang Tang repeated again, and also took out the proclamation that Chengyu had posted everywhere.

Ying Zheng snatched the message and his face became even more ugly!

The words and sentences in the statement were extremely insulting, and it was tantamount to directly saying that he was Lu Buwei's illegitimate son!

Ying Zheng really couldn't imagine that this was something Cheng Xi could do. In his impression, Cheng Xi was just a young man living in a greenhouse. He might be a little naive, but he didn't know how serious a crime it would be to raise an army to rebel. !

"The matter of Cheng Xi will be put aside for the time being. What we have to do now is to inform the old general Meng Ao to lead his troops to withdraw!" Lu Buwei was very angry, but also panicked, because some of the things mentioned in the memorial were true.

He can't escape the matter of promiscuity in the palace!

Moreover, Meng Ao is now alone in the depths. If Zhao Guo takes the opportunity to cut off Meng Ao's retreat, then Meng Ao's 50,000-strong army will be captured by Zhao Guo.

The top priority is to get Meng Ao to withdraw first, and then take care of the rebellion.

"Zhang Tang has sent people to Wangdu to inform the general!" Zhang Tang said hurriedly.

As soon as he received Tunliu's message of rebellion, he ordered people to rush to Wangdu day and night to inform Meng Ao of the mutiny.

"Shangdang is no longer safe. Your Majesty and Prime Minister, please return to Xianyang as soon as possible and take charge of Xianyang!" Zhang Tang continued.

Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei naturally knew this. Once the appeal came out, no one knew what kind of turmoil would happen in Xianyang, so they had to return to Xianyang as soon as possible and take charge of the center.

"Sir, it seems that you have guessed it a long time ago!" Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei immediately led their troops back to Xianyang.

It was only on the way that Ying Zheng remembered what Yan Yan had told him before leaving, that it was both a good thing and a bad thing for clan members to be in charge of the military.

Although it was not explicitly stated that Cheng Xi would rebel, it also reminded Ying Zheng that people's hearts are unpredictable and the hardest to control. Once the military power in the hands of the clan princes is too great, it will be the biggest threat to the king. Never trust human nature easily!
