Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 63

According to the construction of Luoyang City, King Qin said to King Qin, "I will never forget the kindness of my brother." So they broke up happily.The king of Qin returned to the West Mansion, the wine was not yet full, and in the middle of the night, the king of Qin screamed in pain, and suddenly passed out on the ground, unconscious.The palace servants were panicked, at a loss, and didn't know what to do.The left and right guards came to give first aid.After a while, King Qin gradually regained consciousness. He felt that his abdomen was moving like thunder, and he vomited several liters of blood, which flowed into the ground.It turns out that the Son of Heaven has the help of Bai Lingxian, the Lord of King Qin's true destiny, and he has great blessings, so even if poisonous wine enters the house, it cannot do harm.Then he called the imperial physician to offer decoction and medicine, and it was postponed until the next morning, so he recovered as before.All the generals came to see the disease, and the king of Qin said: "I have occasional worries about collecting salary at night, and I am very embarrassed. Because I vomit several liters of blood, I have to rush into the decoction, and the disease will be cured." , King Qi's strategy, drinking his wine at night is poisonous wine.

Great King Hong Fu, who survived death, did he not see the scenery at the banquet yesterday? "Qin Wang said:" My brother is afraid that he is not such a person, and he is willing to do this murderous hand. "All the generals said: "The king is here, and he is still obsessed with it.Your Majesty reads the books of sages and sages, and knows the past and present. Didn't you hear about Xiaobai and Zijiu in the Spring and Autumn Period?It is better to plan early to avoid future troubles. "There was a lot of discussion that day, and the king of Qin said: "Wait for me to report to my father and see what I say, and then I can do something. "

The king of Qin went to see the Lord Tang, and he told about Zhuo Jiancheng and Yuanji's invitation to drink and poisoning.The Lord of the Tang Dynasty said: "The big thing has been decided, how can there be such a reason? I really don't believe it. However, the first big plan to level the sea is all thanks to you. I want to make you a prince, but you refuse to do so; I can't bear to be an heir for a long time, and I can't bear to take it away. Now it seems that your brothers are incompatible. If they are in the same capital, there will be quarrels. I should send you back to Xingtai, live in Luoyang, and be your master from the east of Shaanxi. I still order you to build the banner of the Son of Heaven, just like King Liang Xiao of the Han Dynasty was in Luoyang in the past. He made great achievements in defeating Wu and Chu. Wish too. The ancients have said: 'beginning with relatives, middle in serving the king, and finally standing up'.

How dare you stay away from your knees!Today's appointment has been made, although it is a good thing to be in the morning, how can you expect to be in a big position?It's just that my brother means something bad. " Tang Zhu said: "Lu Shi, Han Chen also, especially met all the sons.Kuang I am the lord of the world, where is my minister, you live in Luoyang, you are still with me, why be sad! "The king of Qin didn't dare to resign, but bowed again and retreated, so he wanted to start.

But Jian Jiancheng and others conspired and said: "King Qin's acquisition of land armored soldiers will be a trouble for the future. He will only stay in the capital with only one man. If you let them go out and add more teeth and claws, they will not be able to control them." Yuanji said: "It is better to murder them first. In order to make a big deal." Nai and his harem concubines said in front of the Tang Lord day and night: "All around the King of Qin are people from Shandong. So he stopped his work and made it impossible to do it.Yuan Ji Nai played to the Tang Lord behind his back, please kill the King of Qin to avoid future troubles.The Lord of the Tang Dynasty said: "He has the power to rule the world, but the crime has not been found, why do you say goodbye?" Yuan Ji said: "But he should be killed quickly, why do you say goodbye."

Someone had reported to the Qin Mansion earlier, and all the officials and assistants of the Qin Mansion panicked and didn't know where they came from.Fang Xuanling said to the eldest grandson Wuji Day: "The rift between the brothers of the King of Qin has now been established. Once the lining machine is stolen, it will be a real worry for the whole country. How about this matter?" Advise the King of Qin to do what the Duke of Zhou did to stabilize the country. The chance of survival is today." Wuji then told the King of Qin, who said: "Although there are enemies, there is nothing to do." Just as Du Ruhui entered from the outside, the King of Qin said: "Everyone in Xuanling Advise me to raise my troops and set a high position early, do you think it is possible?" Ruhui said: "Xuanling Jinshi's words, you can follow him, if you don't make a plan soon, I am afraid you will regret it." Hearing the words, the King of Qin pondered for a long time, and suddenly Yuchi When Jingde came to see him, King Qin said: "What do you mean when you come here?" Jingde said: "It is because the crown prince and the king of Qi sent someone to secretly donate gold and silver utensils and a cart, in order to lure Jingde and use them for others. A certain resignation will not be accepted, and the person has already left, so I come to inform you." Qin Wang said: "I have always known that a loyal and righteous man has a heart like a mountain. Even if you accumulate money to fight, you will not be able to move your ambition." "Your Majesty's thighs and wings are exhausted, so how can he last long? The Prince and the King of Qi want to seek the King, so they will go to the wings first, so as to isolate the King. He also said that Zhijie was the governor of Kangzhou.

"Qin Wang said; Zhijie said: "If the matter is not decided early, it will be too late for regret." "

But it was said that Yuanji, who was built in the East Palace, said: "Those who are feared by the wise and strategic people in the Qin government are Xuanling and Du Ruhuier." Yuanji said, "yes." In the county, only Changsun Wuji, his uncle Gao Shilian, general Hou Junji and Yuchi Jingde were in the mansion. They were the confidant generals of the King of Qin, who persuaded the King of Qin to make up his mind day and night.

Qin Wang hesitated, asked Li Jing and Li Shixun, and they all said the same thing.

On that day, when the Turks entered the fortress, the border customs reported an emergency, and Jian Jian recommended Yuanji to lead the army to attack it. Yuanji then asked Yuchi Jingde to go with him, and learned about the elite of the Qin government to benefit his army.He led Gengcheng Wang Junmi to tell the King of Qin, saying: "I heard that the crown prince ordered the King of Qi to say that the King Qin's wings have gone and there is nothing he can do. If you follow the soldiers, I will go to Kunming Lake with the King of Qin as a farewell party. You can let the strong men kill him. , I will send someone to speak of the emperor, give me the country, and make you a younger brother." The king of Qin was shocked when he heard the words, so he told his elder grandson Wuji about the words, Wuji hurriedly gathered the generals to discuss, and asked the king of Qin to make a plan first.The King of Qin sighed and said: "Flesh and blood is a big evil in ancient and modern times. I sincerely know that the disaster will happen sooner or later. I want to wait for it to happen, and then punish it with righteousness. Isn't it okay?" Yuchi Jingde said: "Who doesn't love his death, Now that everyone is dead, the king of Qin is the god. If the king doesn't use words of respect for virtue, respect will flee into the grass, and he will not be able to stay around the king. He will fight and be slaughtered.

" Wuji said: "If you don't follow the words of respect for virtue, Wuji will go with you, and you can't serve the king. "Qin Wang said: "The public is more concerned about it. "Jingde said: "The king has raised more than [-] warriors, and now he has entered the palace to lead the army.
"The bureaucrats who visited the king of Qin all said: "Yuanji is fierce and brutal, and he refuses to do anything to his brother in the end.It is said that Xue Shi, the guard of the army, said: "But if you get rid of the King of Qin, taking the East Palace is like turning your back on you."He and the crown prince failed to make trouble, but he already wanted to take the crown prince, and he never got tired of disturbing his mind, so he couldn't do anything.If the two of them succeed, the world will not be restored to the Tang Dynasty, so how can the king care about the integrity of the husband and forget the plan of the country? "

The King of Qin pondered to himself, and the generals said again: "Why does your lord regard Shun as a human being?" The ashes of the above, An Nengze is taken by the world, and the law is given to future generations? It is accepted by the small stick, and the big stick is gone, and the one who survives is too big." Qin Wang said: "Think twice about everything, don't make you regret it. You can make the magician Find out whether it will be good or bad." At the right time, Zhang Gong, the staff member, came to see it from the outside. The king of Qin said: "It's just in time, and I just want someone to ask you to predict his good or bad luck." , why do you want to predict? If it is not auspicious, how can you have it?" Qin Wang decided.

General comment: The King of Qin is the lord of the true destiny, poison and wine from the former residence cannot be harmed.The decision to live in Luoyang was based on the will of the emperor, not for evidence.However, Jian Jian and Yuan Ji were worried about future troubles, so they wanted to kill them, so how could they kill each other!
