Qin Official
Chapter 852: Chasing the evil man from your side
"The princes and marquises work hard and sleep well at night, and all the affairs on the front line, big and small, are seen personally. The food they eat is only a few liters a day. This cannot continue. You have to drink medicine and eat on time every day..."
At the same time in Wancheng, Wang Ben was still listening to the doctor's chatter, but he only asked him one sentence.
"How long can I live?"
The doctor immediately stood up, took a few steps back, and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty has little food and trouble. If he continues like this, he may not be able to last long."
Wang Ben nodded: "You're terminally ill, right? It can't be long...how long?"
"Junhou..."
"explain!"
The doctor had no choice but to answer truthfully: "At most half a year."
"At least...a few months?"
"How many months? Is it January, or March..." Wang Ben shook his head and asked the doctor to step back.
"It's not enough..."
The Qin army has now turned to the defensive. It is very difficult to resist the simultaneous attacks of the rebels and bandits. To suppress the rebellion, to defeat the cunning Heifu and the brave Xiang Yu, how many months will be enough?
A few years is not enough!
"But if you only do that one thing, it's enough!"
Wang Ben made up his mind and summoned the visitors from Xianyang Palace.
"Please go to Xianyang immediately to reply to Your Majesty."
"Wang Ben will return to the court immediately!"
…
Chief Shi Gantang just returned from inspecting the front line of Rangxian County, only to find that the atmosphere in Wancheng was different. The soldiers packed their armor and luggage, and hundreds of vehicles and horses were also hitched to animals, as if they were traveling far away...
Gantang couldn't help but was horrified, and immediately rushed over dressed in casual clothes. He was about to get into an carriage and go to Wang Ben in Guanzhong. He bowed down and said:
"Lieutenant, what are you doing? Are you going to give up on Nanyang County after guarding it for more than half a year?"
"Without Nanyang as a shield, the only thing standing between Guanzhong and the rebels would be Wuguan!"
Wang Ben did not look at him: "Your Majesty has summoned me. I want to return to the court."
Gantang was stunned: "Although our army briefly defeated the rebels and bandits, the situation is still not good. The generals and the three armies are so courageous. How can the Taiwei leave the front line at this moment? This is a disorderly order in Xianyang. The general is outside, military orders It's impossible for the Taiwei to accept anything, not to mention the Taiwei's body..."
Whether Wang Ben, who is still in his dying years, can make it to Xianyang is still unknown.
Wang Ben sighed and retreated from everyone, leaving Gantang alone on the carriage to talk in secret.
"Gantang, Wang Ben watched you grow up, and I won't hide it from you."
"I came back to the court this time because I figured out something."
Gantang was shocked: "What's going on?"
Wang Ben pointed outside the car and then inside the car:
“When fighting outside, we must first make peace at home!”
"In my opinion, although Heifu has gained strength, it is really just a disease of his elbows and armpits, and Xiang Ji's menacing attack is just a disease of the body and mind."
"The chaos in Xianyang is Da Qin's innermost concern!"
"All war tactics must be based on political victory. No matter how bravely our army fights on the front line, the victory achieved will be ruined by Hu Lai in Xianyang."
Wang Ben gritted his teeth and said stubbornly and resolutely: "Your Majesty has a traitor around him who is trying to deceive him. He is doing the opposite and killing loyal people indiscriminately. I asked your Majesty to punish him, but now I can't bear it. Li Si is also dead, so that traitor Zhao Gao can continue to be in power." , and even plotted against me!"
Gantang was dumbfounded and said: "Everyone knows that the Taiwei is the pillar of Qin. No matter how confused Xianyang is, he will not..."
Wang Ben said: "The Feng family was also an assistant to the government. Wasn't it true that the late emperor was exterminated because of unfounded charges? The traitor in Xianyang can do it the first time, but who knows if he will do it the second time? "
"Now, if I go back alone, what will be Li Mu's fate waiting for me in Xianyang?"
Wang Ben remembered that his father said that the most difficult opponent in his life was Zhao General Li Mu.
Li Mu's achievements are very dazzling. He defeated the Xiongnu, destroyed the rogues, defeated the Donghu, surrendered to the Linhu, and made the Shanyu run away and dare not approach the border city of Zhao. After the Qin Dynasty unified, Li Mu was enshrined in the Jingbian Temple, which is well-deserved. .
During the years when Li Mu served as the general of Zhao State, he single-handedly reversed the defeat of Zhao State, attacked the Qin army in Yi'an, defeated the Qin general Huanjue, and was named "Wu'an Lord".
What's even more exaggerated is that when Wang Jian was a Qin general attacking Zhao, Li Mu used a weak force to prevent Wang Jian from finding any loopholes.
In the end, it was Li Sijian who proposed to implement a counter-insurgency plan against the State of Zhao, and sent spies to continuously send gold and silk to Guo Kai, the favored minister of King Zhao, in order to persuade Li Mu and Sima Shang to rebel. King Zhao then sent Zhao Cong and Qi general Yan Ju to replace Li Mu. Li Mu refused, so Zhao sent people to arrest Li Mu and punish him with death...
It is said that Li Mu's right hand was disabled. He drew his sword and killed himself but could not reach his own neck. In the end, he could only hold the sword in his mouth, put the sword against a pillar and died!
It is really sad that a famous general of the same generation as Wang Jian ended up like this.
In the next three months, Wang Jian attacked Zhao urgently, defeated and killed Zhao Cong, captured Zhao Wangqian and his general Yan Ju, and destroyed Zhao.
After Wang Jian returned to Xianyang after fighting this battle, he lamented to Wang Ben:
"During the war, it seems difficult to determine the outcome, but as the envoy Li Mu is a general of Qin, and I am a general of Zhao, then Mu will win and I will lose!"
The rabbit dies and the fox mourns, so Wang Jian attaches great importance to the safety of his back. When Qin Shihuang ordered him to destroy Chu, he purchased more fields and houses to dispel the emperor's suspicion and invalidate those slanders.
As Wang Jian's son, Wang Ben naturally understands this.
The enemy is in Xianyang Palace. This battle cannot be fought!
"In short, if we don't get rid of him, our loyalty will be in danger, and it will be difficult for the soldiers on the front line to fight with peace of mind."
Wang Ben looked to the northwest: "So I want to go back to Xianyang!"
"Chasing the evil man from your side!"
…
The evil people who chase the emperor's side are also the Qingjun side. Gantang knows that in fact, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, someone had used this banner.
"The Qing of Jin, Zhao Yang, took the armor of Jin Yang and chased Xing Yin and Fan Ji She from the middle, denouncing them as evil people on the side of the king."
Wang Ben's current situation is actually quite similar to that of Zhao Yang. There is internal chaos and external war. Li Si is like the Zhishi in those days, guarding the capital and named Qin Xiang. In fact, he has no idea what crooked plans he has, sitting back and watching Zhao. Gao deceived Hu Hai and acted recklessly.
As the commander-in-chief of Qin, Wang Ben had the confidence to accomplish this task.
"All the troops on the front line are acting under my Tiger Talisman. Wang Li also has 50,000 troops in Shangjun. As long as he controls Wuguan under the pretext of returning to the court, he will mobilize tens of thousands of troops into the pass. Along the way, from Shangyu to Bashang, it will take hundreds of miles. Most of the lieutenants and guards from various places are Wang's old troops and will not stand in my way."
"The only thing I need to worry about is the Lang Wei army. In the hands of Zhao Gao, if he takes His Majesty hostage, I will throw a wrench in his hand. However, in Xianyang, there should be many officials and ministers who are dissatisfied with Zhao Gao. The prince's clan can be an internal response, and the internal affairs of Lang Wei are also There are many people who will turn against you..."
According to Wang Ben's plan, if everything goes well, this coup can be carried out without bloodshed! Cut the mess with a sharp knife, leaving no opportunity for the rebels and thieves to take advantage of.
Gan Tang said tactfully: "Lieutenant, what I'm worried about is not the process, but what happens next."
Wang Ben said matter-of-factly: "What happens next? Naturally, it is to announce Zhao Gao's crime and let the imperial censor Tingwei punish him with five punishments. This will definitely satisfy people's hearts!"
In this way, we can help the building to collapse and turn the tide before it falls!
"Where is your Majesty?" Gantang pointed directly at the center of the conflict.
Wang Ben restrained his smile: "Your Majesty is good in nature, and he is intelligent by nature, otherwise he would not be favored by the First Emperor, but he was misunderstood by the traitor..."
As long as the treacherous minister Zhao Gao is removed and Yi Yin trains Taijia again, the Holy Emperor will naturally wake up and change his past...
Gantang was not so optimistic: "What if Your Majesty doesn't change? What should the Lieutenant do? Do you want to abolish the establishment?"
"this……"
Wang Ben was stunned. In Wang Ben's opinion, this was just a matter of his son-in-law being disobedient and the woman giving him a small lesson.
Gantang went one step further: "If you don't want to abolish the old and establish the new, then do you want to imitate Yi Yin and Zhou Gong and become the regent and king?"
Wang Ben was furious: "Your Majesty wants to be crowned king, but the old man refuses to obey, let alone self-reliance? Wang Ben is loyal to the Qin Dynasty and to the First Emperor, and will never establish himself as king!"
"This is natural." Gantang said again:
"And the most important point is that the Taiwei has been ill for a long time. What if he dies unfortunately after this incident? By then Li Si has retreated to the countryside, the counties are in turmoil, and rebels and bandits suddenly arrive. Who can be the general and prime minister to clean up the mess?"
"My son, Jiang Lu, and his son Ying are both virtuous and can be prime ministers. However, my son Wang Li is in charge of the army. Although it is difficult to regain the lost territory, he can at least keep the relationship in check and maintain the immortality of the Qin State..." For the future, Wang Ben only hopes for this. .
"I understand." Gantang bowed solemnly to Wang Ben:
"Marquis Tongwu, Gantang boldly said that since the war started, the north has lost two of its favorable weather, location, and people. It only has one favorable location and can barely maintain its orthodox status... "
"But if the Taiwei remonstrates boldly, he is really taking the lead in denying this layer of orthodoxy! Once Li Si and Zhao Gao's party engage in a fight between trapped beasts and the switch attracts thieves, the strategic location in Guanzhong will also be lost. The Taiwei's move may lead to The Great Qin State is accelerating its collapse!"
"If you don't do this kind of thing to the end, it will leave hidden dangers. But if you do it to the end and abolish the establishment, you will be punishing the emperor as a minister, and the dignity of the Emperor of Qin will be gone!"
"In the eyes of the world, what is the difference between the Taiwei doing this and the Heifu doing rebellious things under the guise of peace?"
"Of course there is a difference!"
Wang Ben opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment. The old man was stunned on the spot.
After a while, he muttered to himself: "I'm so old and confused."
The world is always changing, and people are always confused. Sometimes, you seem to see the light, make up your mind, and move forward, but then you fall into wavering and hesitation halfway.
I wanted to do something before the lamp ran out, but what I got in the end was the despair of finding that nothing could be done!
"Yes, even if I do this with different intentions, in the eyes of others, what's the difference between me and Mr. Hei?"
…
