In "Warring States Policy? Wei Ce", there is a conversation between the King of Qin and a man named Tang Ju.
Tang Ju said: "Has your Majesty heard of Bu Yi's anger?"
The King of Qin said: "The anger of commoners is also like taking off their hats and wearing bare clothes, and snatches the earth and ears with their heads."
Tang Ju said: "This is the wrath of a mediocre man, not the wrath of a scholar. Zhuanzhu's stab at the king's official is like a comet hitting the moon; Nie Zheng's stab at a Korean puppet is like a white rainbow piercing the sun; Yao Li's stab at Qing Ji is like a cang.
The eagle struck the palace. These three sons were all men in commoner clothes. They were still angry, so they descended from the sky and joined the ministers to kill the four. If the men were angry, they lay down two of them, bleeding for five steps, and the world was plain.
"That's the case today." He raised his sword and stood up.
The King of Qin looked at him, knelt down and thanked him, saying: "Sir, sit down! Why is this happening! I have told you: Hu Han and Wei were destroyed, and Anling is only fifty miles away, and I only have Mr. You."
It is mentioned in it that when Zhuan Zhu assassinated King Liao of Wu, there was a comet hitting the moon. The tail of the comet that Su Ren saw now happened to sweep across the moon that was about to set. In the eyes of the ancients, this was a sign of great evil, and the king
Assassination. Su Ren thought this was nonsense, but others didn't think so.
Liu An hurriedly discussed things with his officials and stayed in the secret room all day. When they came out, it happened to be night again. Liu An looked up at the sky. The comet in the northwest corner seemed to be bigger and longer.
The long tail extends from the head of the comet to an unknown distance.
Zuo Wu was extremely excited: "Back then, King Wu just saw the comet's tail that was about a foot long, so he decided to raise troops. Now the comet's tail is already ten feet long from the beginning, which shows that the time has come. Now that the king has made a decision, he should
Begin to make preparations, including soldiers, armor, and food. Just wait for the day when the attack begins, and then you can march in and capture Jianghuai in one go."
Liu An nodded with a smile on his face: "Exactly! From today on, you should redouble your efforts and proceed as we promised, and we will start as soon as everything is ready!"
Wu Qui was the last person to come out of the secret room. There was no excitement on his face. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. Liu An turned around and looked at Wu Qui. During the discussion just now, Wu Qui was always impressed by everyone.
To throw cold water on it, Wu Ban would use various excuses to veto any plan proposed by others. If Liu An hadn't made a decisive decision, it would have been difficult to reach a consensus in this discussion.
Liu An ignored Wu Gui and led the people towards the lobby. After holding back in the secret room for a whole day, he ate the food. Unfortunately, he was entangled with things and could not drink the refreshing wine. Since the matter has been discussed, and it is in accordance with the
To carry out Liu An's wishes, a banquet is naturally indispensable.
The lobby was already prepared, with wine, meat and seductive dancers. For the first time in so many years, Liu An was so indulgent. His subordinates were a little uncomfortable at first, but after drinking a few large bowls, they completely let go.
.Compliments and visions of a better future made Liu An dizzy. He had a smile on his face and drank heavily with everyone.
Su Ren sat under the tree and looked up at the comet in the northwest corner. There are many comets in the sky, and the most famous one is of course Halley's Comet. According to observations and calculations, the orbit of Halley's Comet is a huge ellipse, and every 76
It only orbits the sun once every year. It is also the most common comet in human history. The last time Halley's Comet approached the earth, Su Ren didn't know, but this time it seems to be Halley's Comet.
The huge comet tail will become longer and longer, until one day, it will appear in the sky in broad daylight, allowing everyone to see its true face. Seventy-six years is too long a time for the ancients, I don’t know
How many people may not be able to see them in their lifetime. The bad urban air in the previous life made Su Ren miss many astronomical wonders that surprised people. Su Ren will never let them go in this life.
Han Qing came back very late, and he was sweating. Since the comet appeared, Han Qing has been extremely busy, and it has become common to see no one all day long. He came back so late today, and Su Ren planned to have a good talk with Han Qing
, although the work is important, the body cannot collapse.
"Mr. Han, sit down!" As soon as Han Qing entered the door, Su Ren took the initiative to say hello.
With a tired look on his face, Han Qing bowed to Su Ren and then sat down next to Su Ren. Su Ren poured a glass of water for Han Qing: "Is there any improvement in the Lei Quilt matter?"
Han Qing shook his head: "Lei Quan's son is still imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion. His life and death are unknown. Lei Quan kneels in front of the Prince's Mansion every day. Today is the third day, and there are already many people watching."
"Liu An didn't express his position on this matter?"
"Liu An is plotting something big. Except for Lei Qui, all his confidants have been called into the palace to discuss it day and night. Liu An's specific actions are not yet clear."
"This is not like Liu An. He has always been good at winning people's hearts. This time he turned a blind eye to Lei Quilt. Could it be that he also looks down on Lei Quilt?"
Han Qing interrupted Su Ren's questioning and put down the water bowl: "Sir, Shouchun City has been very strange recently. I'm worried...!"
"What's there to worry about? Is Liu An really going to rebel?"
"Judging from the current signs, this is not impossible. Jiyu has already heard that Liu An is hoarding a large amount of food, and Huainan Kingdom's troops are also frequently mobilized. These are definitely not good things."
"Don't you have to go through the lieutenant to mobilize troops? Could it be...?"
The imperial court stationed its own representatives in each vassal state. Although the ministers, lieutenants, and internal historians were subordinates of the vassal kings, the power of appointment and dismissal belonged to the imperial court. This was also a means for the imperial court to monitor the vassal states. At the same time,
It is also an insurance to limit the growth of princes and kings. Xi Ci, the Prime Minister of Hengshan Kingdom, has turned to King Hengshan, but the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom has always stood on the side of the court. Even though Liu An has become a climate over the years, he still remains.
Reasons not acted upon.
"Liu An mobilized private soldiers and they were not under the lieutenant's jurisdiction."
"Liu An actually raises private soldiers. How many men and horses are there?"
"My subordinates have sent people to investigate, and there will be news soon."
Su Ren nodded and filled up the water bowl for Han Qing: "Let's not talk about this matter. Since we all know it, many people must also know it. Since there is someone to share the worries of the court, let's talk about the Qingyun Mountain family members, right?
Is there any news on their whereabouts?"
Han Qing took a deep breath: "A matter as big as a comet hitting the moon affects your majesty and the country of Han Dynasty. Sir, are you not worried at all? This is a bad omen. If anything happens, the world will be in turmoil. Compared with the people of the world,
, Those family members in Qingyun Mountain are insignificant, sir, you should think more about the major events in the world, it is not too late to look up such things after a while."
"What do you mean? Could it be that you haven't sent someone to look for me for so many days?"
Han Qing nodded: "The matter of the comet hitting the moon is very important. I can only deal with the urgent matters first."
"Then what did you find?"
"Have you just told me sir? Is there any sign of Liu An's rebellion?"
"That's all the news?" Su Ren once again overestimated Han Qing's ability. What Liu An is best at is winning over people's hearts. Naturally, Liu An would not let go of the comet's appearance easily. Such a great opportunity, he would not use his talents to
Strange. Although he will not actually lead his troops to attack Chang'an, he will at least use this incident to make his position in Hengshan Kingdom more stable.
Su Ren knew that the comet would only appear in ten days. After he left, everything would be back on track. Since Liu An's eyes were attracted to the comet, why not take advantage of this opportunity to do more things? His own
The henchman is chasing Liu An's ass, which makes people feel angry and ridiculous at the same time.
"Mr. Han, there is no need to be so panicked. Your Majesty is protected by the Northern and Southern armies in Chang'an. Even if Liu An really rebels, we don't know how many people will respond. We don't have to worry about getting angry. You also said that everything should be prioritized. This comet's
It seems to me to be the lightest and slowest thing."
"Sir, don't you think the appearance of a comet hitting the moon at this time is a warning?"
"What's the warning?"
"Warn the world to be careful, lest bad people take advantage of you."
"That doesn't necessarily mean Liu An! While Liu An's attention is on the matter of the comet hitting the moon, let's do more practical things. The matter of the comet will be handled by knowledgeable people."
"You don't look worried at all, sir?"
"To tell you the truth, the comet is just a big rock. What is there to worry about?"
"big Stone?"
Su Ren nodded: "Dinghengshan Kingdom plus Huainan Kingdom may be bigger than this."
"Sir, are you saying that there is a rock as big as Hengshan Kingdom and Huainan Kingdom above our heads?"
"Not just one, but many!"
Han Qing was completely confused. He looked at Su Ren for a long time without saying a word: "This, this, how is this possible?"
Su Ren smiled: "If you live long enough, you may be able to see us again in seventy-six years!"
Han Qing no longer knew how to answer the call, so he sat dumbly, his mind going blank.
Su Ren patted Han Qing on the shoulder: "From tomorrow on, let's forget about the comet hitting the moon. Focus on watching the thunder quilt and looking for the family members in Qingyun Mountain. Let's take this opportunity to rescue people and how to deal with it."
Liu An."
Su Ren said it lightly, and Han Qing didn't understand it. Suddenly, Han Qing remembered a legend about Su Ren. It was said that Su Ren's master was a god. Is this true? Otherwise, how could Su Ren know what was in the sky?
What happened? When he looked at Su Ren's eyes again, Han Qing became awed, just like the people on Changxing Street that day when they saw Su Ren turning a bowl of clear water into blood.
When the comet's tail was two feet long, it could be seen clearly in broad daylight, and the Han people who were accustomed to going to bed early finally started to panic. Comet was regarded as a sign of great evil in ancient times, and its appearance panicked the whole world.
Even the court in Chang'an was noisy, which made Liu Che extremely depressed. Listening to the ministers crying every day, Liu Che wished he could drag out all those who spread rumors and kill them.
After going to court, Liu Che left Dou Ying behind and asked his chamberlain to hand Dou Ying a memorial and asked: "Who does the Prime Minister think should be sent there?"
Dou Ying quickly lowered his head to look at the memorial in his hand. The crooked seal characters made Dou Ying recognize at a glance who the hand of this memorial was. (To be continued)
