Competing

chapter 197

Chen Ping's meaning was very clear. The edict of the King of Qin seems to be genuine, but if there are first-rate counterfeiters, there is still a possibility of forgery.In fact, Mr. Chen Ping is lying, but this imperial edict is authentic, so he has to lie.

But I dare not talk too much. After all, there are more than 40 people in the allied forces of the princes, and there are not a few who can understand handwriting, painting and silk identification. If Xiang Yu finds someone casually, will he be exposed?Even so, you can find an excuse to prevaricate casually.Xiang Yu is fine, but the scheming Fan Zeng might become suspicious, which would be bad, and if he gets angry because of this, the relationship with Yin Xu will be even worse.

So Chen Ping was very cautious, and only said that there was a possibility of forgery, even if it was only possible, it would be infinitely magnified in Xiang Yu's mind at this time.With Chen Ping's status and identity, it is more convincing to say this.

Sure enough, Xiang Yu's gloomy face improved a little, and a faint smile appeared, and he asked, "Mr. Chen, may this edict be a fake?"

Chen Ping smiled in his heart, and replied with his strong nasal voice: "It is possible, if the cloth, brush and ink, and cinnabar are all preserved from that year, as long as the skilled craftsmen can do it, if you want to make such a true and false Difficult things need to be thought about."

After a slight pause, Chen Ping asked again: "Dare to ask the general, where did you get this thing? Who sent it?" Just a vague guess, Chen Ping still wanted to test it out, so as to find out the ins and outs , do a good job of countermeasures.

Xiang Yu spread his hands helplessly and said: "Someone asked the magistrate of Hongmen to send it, I don't know his identity..."

Oh?Chen Ping was thoughtful, a few years flashed in his mind, and he pondered: "General, please forgive Chen Ping for talking too much, who sent this edict? What is the purpose? I have to guard against it!" As a counselor under Xiang Yu's account , Mr. Chen Ping's words are reasonable and reasonable, no one will be suspicious.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Xiang immediately echoed: "Yes! Mr. Chen Ping is justified, but the edict sent may have ulterior motives, so we have to keep some!"

Chen Ping listened to it, and felt amused in his heart, Mr. Xiang really worked hard!I just went to see Liu Bang last night, but how can I compare with Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew for decades in just one night?Even if Xiang Yu refuted his face, he wouldn't be so capricious, would he?

How many truths can someone like Liu Bang have in his mouth?I really don't understand what's wrong with Uncle Xiang?The point is that at this time, he was also involved. He was simply guessing and doubting, but Xiang Bo immediately affirmed that he had ulterior motives.Fortunately, I didn't hear what Xiang Bo said before, otherwise Chen Ping would definitely be speechless.

Chen Ping is very clear that some things can be pointed out, and it may be counterproductive to say too much, especially when there are smart people like Fan Zeng around.So I simply mentioned one sentence, and stopped talking after hearing Bo Xiang's advice.

Xiang Bo turned his head to look at Chen Ping as if he wanted to repay his kindness, as if he was full of gratitude.In his opinion, the purpose of Chen Ping's move was only to fulfill his duty as a counselor, but it was also considered as a help to himself, and the previous remonstrance also added some weight.

What made him even more overjoyed was that he mistakenly said that there was something wrong with the edict of the King of Qin, and that there was really something wrong after the appraisal, and his own prediction was actually prepared in this way.There is also Chen Ping, who is very face-saving!No matter what the purpose is, it can be regarded as a help to himself, and Xiang Bo is still grateful.

Xiang Bo didn't know that although Chen Ping's actions were not obvious, they actually coincided with him. They were all to prevent Xiang Yu from completely blaming Pei Gong Liu Bang for this matter.However, their origins are different. One may really be saving people, while the other is just using them!

Uncle Xiang was happy, but Fan Yafu's face darkened. Although he had guessed, he still didn't want to believe it. He didn't expect that there were indeed problems with the three edicts of the King of Qin.Chen Ping has always been very obedient, and he can't find a reason to lie. Fan Zeng also suspected that there was collusion between Chen Ping and Liu Bang, but he quickly denied this idea.

There was no contact between Chen Ping and Liu Bang, how could it be possible?Fan Zeng never expected that Mr. Chen Ping had already had a candidate in his mind, and he had been following him secretly until he made an important decision last night.He even thought of Chen Ping and Yin Xu's plan to help Liu Zhixiang, so Fan Yafu believed Chen Ping's words.Moreover, he selectively believed that the imperial edict was a forgery. Chen Ping has always been cautious in his words, and what he said should be very possible.

Although the edict of the King of Qin is true, some people forged it, and some people had ulterior motives, just to provoke Xiang Yu and Liu Bang?With such a big effort and such a lot of trouble, this mysterious man's purpose is only this little?Fan Yafu didn't quite believe it.It seems that the urgent task at hand has been solved, so let's start to investigate and see who is this mysterious man?

Regardless of those, an indisputable fact is in front of you.Finally, Xiang Yu was so angry that he wanted to kill Liu Bang because of the fake Chuanguo Yuxi.If Yuxi is real, then the reason for killing Liu Bang is not sufficient, and the key lies with Xiang Yu.

Judging from the current situation, Xiang Yu has already believed that the imperial edict is false, so the jade seal is true.In fact, Chen Ping only provided a little bit of doubt. The imperial edict may be forged, but it is not true.Even if there is something wrong with the imperial edict, then the imprint of the Chuanguo Yuxi must be fake?

The previous conjectures that Liu Bangjin’s Chuanguo Yuxi was a fake were all based on the comparison with the three seals of Qin Wang’s imperial edict.It is now proven that the edict may have been forged, thereby overturning the original chain of evidence.Even the assumption that there are many omissions in one link is indeed infinitely magnified in the hearts of everyone, and then it is deduced that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in Xiang Yu's hand is real.Even if it still needs to be proved, everyone has actually believed it [-]% to [-]%.

If the jade seal is true, then Liu Bang's charges will no longer exist, and the statement that Liu Bang has disobedience seems to be self-defeating.Xiang Yu has already shown a satisfied smile, and many things may be forgotten again.Yafu Fan Zeng saw it, and couldn't help but feel more worried. At the same time, a strong question arose in his heart, is Liu Bang really so hard to kill?
From last night to now, in just a few hours, there have been so many twists and turns in the matter of killing Liu Bang.Is this what God meant?In addition, so many people pleaded for Liu Bang, which shows Liu Bang's position and weight in everyone's mind.It seems that killing Liu Bang is really risking the world's disgrace, a bit too risky.

But at this time, Fan Zeng couldn't control so much anymore. The more this happened, the greater the threat of Liu Bang's existence.At this time, at the age of seventy, he put all his heart on his adoptive son Xiang Yu, and he could not allow any harm to Xiang Yu's threat.What's more, the reaction of the stars above the sky is there. Liu Bang's purple star is getting more and more radiant, and the threat to Emperor Xiang Yu's star is getting bigger and bigger, so it must be killed as soon as possible to prevent rebirth.

What's more, there is also Yin Xu who is also a hidden danger. Speaking of which, all his thoughts have been on Liu Bang recently, and Yin Donglai is really neglected.After finishing Liu Bang's affairs tonight, it is time to pay close attention to Yin Xu.

Now there is no army around him, it is really easy to deal with him alone in Guanzhong.It was precisely for this reason that Fan Yafu let down his guard against him.Little did he know that General Yin took this opportunity to do something, and what he did was even more shocking and frightening.He subdued Chen Ping and other world-class advisers, and also reached an alliance with Liu Bang.

All these staggering things happened under the nose, but Fan Yafu didn't notice it at all, let alone Xiang Yu.What kind of shocked expression will they have until one day it is all made public?How would you regret it?Only then will they know that many things are changing because of General Yin's arrival.

They thought that it was Liu Bang that they were painstakingly dealing with, but in the end they discovered that the biggest enemy should be General Yin.But by that time, it will be too late, and some people have already reaped the benefits of the fisherman.Everything happened inadvertently, but the impact was immeasurable.

Seeing the current situation, Fan Zeng knew that he had to persuade Xiang Yu, change his mind, and strengthen his determination to kill Liu Bang.If it was delayed for a while, after Xiang Yu's mind stabilized, it would be difficult to pull it back.Fan Yafu is also very helpless now, and he sighs a lot in his heart.

These words couldn't be said in front of everyone, so he had to wink, Xiang Yu had to care about Fan Zeng's identity and face no matter what he said, and immediately waved his hand to let everyone leave.Everyone knew it well, so they took their leave and withdrew.

Uncle Xiang is still a little worried, what is going on with the current situation?Can Xiang Yu spare Liu Bang?After spending so much effort, I finally saw some results, but don't let it fall by the wayside!It is obvious who Fan Zeng will talk about when he stays here. With him, it is inevitable that Xiang Yu will not jump up to kill Liu Bang, and he will also bring his friend Zhang Liang.Glancing at the somewhat aged face, Xiang Bo's eyes showed a trace of anger.

It's all about doing your best here, it's all about luck.But before that, you have to find a way to marry and meet Liu Bang and Zhang Liangcai.On the one hand, it is to discuss countermeasures, and on the other hand, Xiang Bo wants to confirm whether the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is real or not?Did Liu Bang play tricks, what is it to put himself in it?If this happened, Uncle Xiang would be a little angry when he arrived.

Chen Ping is also very aware of the importance of the matter, Xiang Yu is helpless here, everything depends on Liu Bang himself.This is not only Liu Bang's luck, but also the luck of his lord, General Yin. This can be regarded as God's will!

Thinking of General Yin's incredible intuition, Chen Ping thought maybe he could know something?There is still a chance that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is indeed a fake. Did Liu Bang do it on purpose, trying to confuse the fake with the real one, and who is the mysterious gift-giver?What is the purpose?
Chen Ping suddenly felt that the current situation in Hongmen was very complicated, and he had to inform Yin Xu of these situations as soon as possible, so that he could discuss with him how to deal with them.Chen Ping thought to himself: The water in Hongmen is getting deeper and more muddy tonight. It is difficult to fish out of it!
After everyone left, Fan Yafu looked at Xiang Yu quietly, and said earnestly, "Yu'er, what do you think about this matter?"

Xiang Yu just turned his head and took a look, without paying attention, and said: "Yafu, Yu'er thought it was necessary to confirm whether the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is real or not as soon as possible? Those edicts still need to be confirmed carefully, after all, Chen Ping is not very sure."

Fan Zeng forced a wry smile helplessly, and said, "Yu'er, is the authenticity of the Chuan Guo Yuxi really that important? Is it necessary to find someone to confirm it?"

Xiang Yu looked at Fan Zeng a little strangely, and asked in confusion: "Why did Yafu say that? Is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo unimportant? If it's fake, wouldn't it be..."

Fan Zeng seemed completely helpless, and directly interrupted Xiang Yu's words, saying: "Haven't Yu'er heard that fakes are fakes and fakes are fakes? He is also the unique Jade Seal passed on to the country."

Fan Zeng said fiercely: "The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom represents the supreme power in the world. A simple piece of jade, even if it is extremely beautiful and has no flaws, is just a piece of jade worth a few dollars. Can he have power? Can he command The world? If this is the case, why did Ziying lose and surrender voluntarily? Why did Liu Bang bow down to you? Just raise your arms and lift this thing, is it possible?"

"The reason why Chuanguo Yuxi is supreme is not because of the eight big characters below him. If you want to play his role and highlight his status, you still have to put it in the right person's hands. If you want to know everything, if you want to be superior, you must It is based on strength. So now everyone knows that Liu Bang dedicates the jade seal of Chuanguo to you, so the jade seal is in your hands, this is a unique authentic product!" Fan Zeng spoke loudly, and Xiang Yu could only listen sadly.

What Fan Zeng said is also reasonable, fakes are true and fakes are true, the jade seal Xiang Yu is holding now is no different from the real jade seal in appearance, and it is easy to accept.And everyone has already decided that he is Qin Shihuang's beloved treasure. As long as Xiang Yu doesn't mention what happened today, how many people will know?Even if the news leaked out, who would know about it? As long as Xiang Yu insisted, who would dare to question the authenticity of Chuanguo Yuxi?

This is an era where heroes fight for power and the strong prey on the weak. If there is strength, everything is right, and lies can also become truth.So in Fan Yafu's view, as long as there is such a thing, it doesn't matter if it is true or not.

Xiang Yu also understood what Fan Zeng meant, but he also had some concerns in his heart, and said, "Yafu, fake ones are not good after all. Besides, if someone gets the real one, if the real Jade Seal is in Liu Bang's hands, it will be troublesome." If we take it out in the future, we will lose our face, and if he wants to use this thing for something, it will be very disadvantageous to us. How can we take it lightly?"

Seeing that Xiang Yu was afraid of Liu Bang, his father Fan Zeng smiled. It seems that Xiang Yu still has some thoughts in his heart.Now is a great opportunity that must be used to persuade Xiang Yu while the iron is hot.Fan Zeng smiled, looked at Xiang Yu and spit out a few words coldly: "Kill him!"

"Ah?" The matter returned to the original proposition, and Xiang Yu couldn't help hesitating.As the saying goes, Liu Bang's crimes have been completely dismissed if he is soft on others, not to mention...even if he wants to kill him now, how can he kill him?
Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "Kill him, and all worries can be ended once and for all, which is the best. Killing him now will at most encounter some doubts and accusations. Now is the peak period of your strength and prestige, Yu'er. Who would dare to refute your face easily and say that you are not good?" It may have become the prerogative of Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng to rush to force and power.Convincing people with virtue doesn't seem to be reflected in them, and it has become a tradition of the old Liu family. During the Three Kingdoms period, Uncle Liu Huang played it to the fullest.

Xiang Yu was still hesitant, and Fan Zeng was angry when he saw this, and he suppressed it as much as possible: "Yu'er, you forgot what Yafu told you when watching the stars last night? Liu Bang is the biggest threat to you. Get rid of it, it will become a serious problem in the future, don't hesitate! Don't be restrained by some petty interests and indifferent fetters in front of you, and you must continue to be disturbed by it!"

Xiang Yu thought of Fan Zeng's words last night, and remembered his own identity. The aura of looking down on the world came back again. What's the point of killing Liu Bang?Does anyone else dare to snort more?With Xiang Yu's aura, Fan Zeng felt helpless and needy, and his mood was extremely complicated. He didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

However, Xiang Yu was more or less loose and willing to kill Liu Bang. It was very comforting to think of Fan Yafu.Immediately said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's fine for Yu'er to decide. As for how to kill Liu Bang, this villain, Yafu will arrange it!"

Immediately, a military order came out from Xiang Yu's big tent, to hold a banquet tonight, to invite Liu Bang, the Duke of Pei, to stay and participate in the dinner to celebrate the success of destroying Qin. The official invitation has been sent out...

However, Chen Ping came to Yin Xu's camp after leaving the Chinese army's camp, carefully avoiding all kinds of eyes and ears on the way, being extremely cautious, for fear of being bumped into the relationship between himself and Yin Xu.

Yin Xu has been in the camp today, in fact, it has been like this often for so many days.Even if there is no price, then we simply don't get rid of "shame".An important reason for not going out today is to wait and see what happens, especially after Liu Bang arrives.Afraid of being found out about the strange relationship from the subtleties, the loss outweighs the gain.

At this time, Su An came to report: "Mr. Chen Ping is here!" As the closest person to Yin Xu, Su An naturally knew the current identity of Chen Ping. This kind of unparalleled counselor in the world can serve under General Yin's account, which is enough to show that his own family The charm of the general, and the success rate of future events will also be greatly increased.How could Su An not be excited?Therefore, I have always shown great respect and dare not neglect in the slightest.

Seeing Chen Ping's dignified expression, Yin Xu's heart sank suddenly, feeling bad, he raised his head and asked, "Mr. Chen, what happened?"

Chen Ping hurriedly said: "My lord! Chuan Guo Yuxi... Alas, this matter is a bit strange, I'm afraid it's not good!"
