Just do it as soon as you think of it. After Ji Gang returned, he immediately put the plan he thought of into action. He invited a storyteller, handed a copy of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to the storyteller, and said: "Did you say

Read this book?"

The storyteller picked up "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and said, "This book is very exciting. I was just about to talk about it!"

Ji Gang nodded, handed a fifty tael of silver to the storyteller, and said: "This fifty tael of silver is yours, but you have to talk about this book tomorrow..."

The storyteller nodded repeatedly, but did not take the fifty taels of silver from Ji Gang's hand and said, "Yes, I will talk about this book tomorrow."

"I haven't finished speaking yet, please listen to me finish speaking." Ji Gang said.

The storyteller nodded and said, "Yes, please give me the command, my lord."

"You have to talk about the empty city strategy of this book first, and follow this method -" Ji Gang said, whispering his thoughts in the storyteller's ear, "Do you remember it?"

The storyteller nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. Lord Ji, don't worry, I will definitely follow your words." After saying that, the storyteller was about to leave Ji Gang's house.

Ji Gang looked at the fifty taels of silver in his hand and said to the storyteller, "Come back!"

The storyteller quickly stopped, returned to Ji Gang, and said, "I wonder if Master Ji has any other instructions?"

Ji Gang handed the silver in his hand to the storyteller and said, "Did you forget something?"

Of course, the storyteller still dared not accept the money from Ji Gang because Ji Gang was ruthless. If he accepted the money, Ji Gang might cause trouble for him in the future. The storyteller said: "I was just about to thank Mr. Ji for the inspiration he gave me! Why?

Do you dare to ask for Master Ji's money?"

Ji Gang smiled, obviously very satisfied with the storyteller's approach. He put away the money in his hand and said: "Okay, since you insist on not taking it, I won't be polite. I will explain your matter to you..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ji, I will definitely complete what you told me." Mr. Storyteller said before Ji Gang could finish.

Ji Gang nodded with satisfaction.

The storyteller said: "If Master Ji has no other instructions, then I will take my leave now!"

Ji Gang nodded, and the storyteller left Ji Gang's home. Looking at the back of the storyteller as he left, Ji Gang showed a proud smile.

The next day, the storyteller began to talk about the "Empty City Strategy" in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He first read the contents of the "Empty City Strategy" vividly: But after Ma Di lost his street pavilion, Zhuge Liang's army fell into a dead end. Sima Yi's front army sentry to the city,

Seeing such a situation, no one dared to enter, so they reported to Sima Yi in a hurry. Yi laughed and didn't believe it, so he stopped the three armies and looked at them from afar. He saw Kong Ming sitting on the tower with a pleasant smile, burning incense and playing the piano. There was a boy on the left

, holding a sword in his hand; there is a boy on the right, holding a squid tail. Inside and outside the city gate, there are more than 20 people, lowering their heads and sweeping, as if there is no one around. After seeing this, Yi went to the middle army to teach the rear army how to be the front army.

The front army acted as the rear army and retreated while looking at the northern mountain road. The second son, Sima Zhao, asked: "Is it because Zhuge Liang has no army and is acting like this? Why did my father retreat?" Yi said: "Liang was cautious in his life and never took risks. Now we are opening up.

There must be an ambush at the city gate. If our troops advance, we will fall into his trap. How do you know? We should retreat quickly." Sima Zhao said, "Why didn't my father send five thousand men and horses into the city to give it a try? If the city is real and empty, let's give it a try.

You know." Sima Yi was silent for a long time and said: "I have already predicted that this is Kong Ming's plan, how can we let the soldiers lose their lives in vain and retreat quickly!" So the soldiers from both groups retreated. When Kong Ming saw the Wei army retreating, he touched his palms and laughed.

The officials were all shocked and asked Kong Ming: "Sima Yi is a famous general in Wei. He has brought 150,000 elite troops here. When he saw the prime minister, he quickly retreated. Why?" Kong Ming said: "This man expected me to be cautious in my life, so he would not do it."

Seeing this, I suspected there was an ambush, so I retreated.

They are taking risks because they have no choice but to use them. This person will definitely lead the army to the north path of the mountain. I have already ordered the troops to attack, and the two of them are waiting there." Everyone was shocked and said: "The Prime Minister's plan is unpredictable.

If you see someone like this, you will definitely abandon the city and run away." Kong Ming said: "We only have 2,500 soldiers. If we abandon the city and run away, we will not be able to escape far. Will we be captured by Sima Yi?" Later generations have it.

The poem praised: "The three feet of Yao Qin beat the army. When Zhuge Xicheng retreated the enemy, 150,000 people returned to their horses, and the natives pointed out it. I still doubt it." After saying this, Kongming clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "If I were Sima Yi,

It will be inconvenient to retreat."

After reading, the storyteller said to the audience: "What do you think of Zhuge Kongming?"

"Okay! An empty city plan scared off Sima Yi." said an audience member.

The storyteller laughed and said: "You think Zhuge Liang is powerful, but I think Sima Yi is powerful. As I said just now, Sima Zhao has suggested using thousands of troops to test, but Sima Yi refused to do it. Don't you think about this?

Why?"

The audience was silent.

Since the question was raised, the storyteller naturally wanted to answer: "Because Sima Yi understood that if he entered the empty city and captured Zhuge Liang, then the Emperor of Wei would kill himself next. When the cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys will be cooked; when the birds are gone, the good ones will be killed.

Gong Zang; the enemy's country is destroyed, and the advisers are destroyed. This has been the truth since ancient times. Sima Yi naturally understood these truths, so he wanted to keep Zhuge Liang. Only by keeping Zhuge Liang, the Emperor of Wei would keep him. This is the reason for keeping the invaders to protect themselves.

!”

A group of audience members nodded their heads.

After the storyteller said this, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" quickly became a must-read book for everyone, so many people started to read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

However, the storyteller's words also spread to the palace and reached the ears of Emperor Yongle. Emperor Yongle was not interested in what the storyteller said, but he became interested in the last four words the storyteller said.

Emperor Yongle wrote the four words "supporting the bandits and protecting ourselves" on the paper with a brush in his study. Looking at these four words, he began to think of Fan Jianxun. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Fan Jianxun was raising the bandits to protect himself. He picked up the four words written on the paper.

, eyes fixed on those four words, and said: "Fan Jianxun, you actually think of yourself as Sima Yi and me as Emperor Wei Ming. Hum, if you are Sima Yi, I am definitely not Cao Rui."

From then on, Emperor Yongle's impression of Fan Jianxun became worse and worse. Although the impression was bad, he could not denounce Fan Jianxun now. He had to keep Fan Jianxun by his side because Emperor Jianwen's party had not been completely eliminated.

After Ji Gang's plan was implemented, he also discovered that Emperor Yongle's attitude towards Fan Jianxun was very cold, but Emperor Yongle never took action against Fan Jianxun. Ji Gang didn't understand it at first, but he soon figured it out. The reason why Emperor Yongle still kept Fan Jianxun was

Because Emperor Jianwen's party has not been completely eliminated, as long as Emperor Jianwen's party is completely eliminated, Emperor Yongle will have no excuse to keep Fan Jianxun.

After understanding this level, Ji Gang worked harder to search for Emperor Jianwen's party. However, facing an underground organization, Ji Gang had no choice but to do so, because the underground organization was already tight and it was very difficult to find them.

Even if there is no alternative, we must find a way, because the conspiracy is time-sensitive. If time passes, Emperor Yongle may forget this matter. If Emperor Yongle forgets this matter, then his previous arrangements

It's all in vain.

What to do? Ji Gang locked himself in the room, thinking about how to deal with this matter. He paced in the room and finally thought of a way.

The next day, Ji Gang called a Jin Yiwei into his room and softly told him some things.

Ji Gang smiled and went to court.

After the dynasty was dismissed, Ji Gang came to see Fan Jianxun. At that time, Fan Jianxun was walking in front and was about to go home. Ji Gang caught up with Fan Jianxun from behind and said: "General Fan, please stay!"

Fan Jianxun stopped, turned around, looked at Ji Gang, cupped his fists and said, "I wonder what's wrong with Master Ji?"

Ji Gang smiled and said: "We are all walking in the palace, but we don't have many opportunities to interact. Why don't we get together for a drink today! I'm treating you!"

Fan Jianxun hesitated slightly and said: "I'm afraid this won't work, right? The emperor hates collusion between officials the most."

Ji Gang said: "It doesn't matter, we are having a normal drinking party, we are not planning anything."

Fan Jianxun still hesitated and did not agree to Ji Gang immediately.

Ji Gang said: "As long as we have a clear conscience, others will have no excuses. General Fan is here today only because of my recommendation. How about thanking me over a drink?"

Fan Jianxun nodded. At this time, he had not thought that Ji Gang was playing a conspiracy against him. He said: "Master Ji is right. If this is the case, then I should be the one to invite you! Let's do it this way, why not

Mr. Ji comes to my house and I will treat you."

Ji Gang's face tightened. Of course he couldn't move the banquet to Fan Jianxun's house. He was thinking about the reasons for rejection, and soon thought of it, so his face returned to normal in an instant and said: "You see, you still have to prepare."

, I’m already prepared, let’s do it in a way that saves trouble! What do you think?”

Fan Jianxun thought it right, nodded and said: "Okay, let's do this!"

Ji Gang smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, then I will wait for you at home."

Fan Jianxun smiled and left.

Looking at Fan Jianxun's leaving figure, Ji Gang showed a proud smile on his face.

That night, Fan Jianxun came to Ji Gang's house to drink. At the same time, a masked man wearing night clothes entered Fan Jianxun's home.

There was no one in Fan Jianxun's home at this time, so no one found the man in black.

The man in black searched and checked everywhere in Fan Jianxun's home, and finally took away a jade pendant with the word "Fan" engraved on it from the drawer of a table in Fan Jianxun's home.

Fan Jianxun, who was at Ji Gang's house, was kept drunk by Ji Gang. Ji Gang poured wine for Fan Jianxun and said to Fan Jianxun: "Brother Fan, congratulations. I heard that the emperor is planning to promote you!"

Fan Jianxun became interested and said with a smile: "Oh - is what you said true?"

Ji Gang nodded and said: "Of course it is true. I have heard the emperor mention you many times. He said that since I became the escort general, the assassinations of the Jianwen party have not been successful. If a person like this gets

If you don't get promoted, then who should be promoted? Come on, brother, let me toast you again! Congratulations on your promotion. I hope that after your promotion, you will never forget me!" Ji Gang picked up the wine glass as he spoke.

.

Fan Jianxun picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "I don't dare. If I can really get your Majesty's attention, I will never forget my brother's recommendation."

"Okay, that being said, I would like to toast my brother." Ji Gang raised his glass and toasted to Fan Jianxun.

"Do it!" Fan Jianxun raised his glass and drank. He didn't think much about it. He knew that he was going to be promoted, so he felt happy. Once he was happy, his guard relaxed. This relaxation made him welcome Ji Gang's toast.

Gradually, I drank too much. After drinking too much, I fell asleep on my seat.

Ji Gang smiled, stood up and came to Fan Jianxun's side. He was afraid that Fan Jianxun was pretending to be asleep, so he gently patted Fan Jianxun's shoulder and whispered: "Brother Fan, Brother Fan, are you okay?"

Fan Jianxun didn't react at all.
