Chapter 21 The Concern of Kong Yu
The death of the First Emperor caused chaos in the world and turmoil in all directions. Some anti-Qin forces were gradually seeking a place for themselves. In a very secret basement in the Zhou Mansion in Suiyang, Zhou Shi, Li Yan, Wei Jiu and Wei Bao
Gathered together, they were discussing whether they could take advantage of the death of the First Emperor to regain the Wei Kingdom.
At this time, Wei Bao said with emotion: "The Qin Kingdom is in ruins and there are only a few defenders everywhere. This is a great opportunity to raise troops to revive Wei. Everyone, I think this opportunity must not be lost and never come back!"
Wei Bao also nodded. He also thought that he could give it a try. At this time, there was a brief silence in the secret room, and everyone was meditating. On the side, Li Yan was also tempted. He said in a deep voice: "In that case, I
Go gather the troops and raise the flag on a day."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shi raised his hands and shouted: "Absolutely not."
After a pause, Zhou Shi collected his words, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Now that all the countries have been destroyed, Qin has been unified for many years, and people's hearts are stable. Wei is no longer the Wei of the past. Our words are not enough."
To shake up the world and bring about the rise of the descendants of other countries, if there is only one uprising in Suiyang, and the Qin State concentrates its superior forces and massacres in Suiyang, then we will have the opposite effect, and we will lose the backbone of the restoration of Wei, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
Speaking of this, Zhou Shi sighed softly and told everyone: "It is better for us to be patient for the time being and wait and see what happens."
...
In Xiapi City, in the Gongsun Mansion, Zhang Liang and his son were sitting at the table, also discussing this issue. After the death of the First Emperor, the Qin State would inevitably fall into a struggle for the throne. How should the Zhang family develop the power to restore Korea?
From the rise of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period to the rise of the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period, Korea went from weak to strong. In the middle, there were many hardships and bitterness, and many bones were piled up. Now, the time has gradually matured, and it is time to consider the great cause of reviving Korea.
Zhang Liang is still pondering, which force will be the first to attack? Will it be Lord Canghai? Although he lives in Suiyang, he is actually a member of the Wei family and is the backbone of the rejuvenation of the Wei state.
After many years of dating with him, Cang Haijun is cautious and not easily impulsive.
Judging from the fact that he chose the dead men for himself back then, Zhou Shi probably wanted to use himself to assassinate the First Emperor in Bolangsha.
But at the moment, what Zhang Liang is most concerned about is whether they will seize this opportunity? Whoever takes the lead means that who will directly face Qin's massive suppression. The pressure can be imagined, and if there is no
If a person responds or falls short of success, he will die without a burial place.
After thinking about it, Zhang Liang's thoughts gradually shifted to Xiang Liang. The Xiang family was dormant in Kuaiji. They were far away from Guanzhong and far away from the political center of the Qin State. I am afraid that the Qin State's management of the border areas would not be too strong in these years.
, and from the perspective of strength, the Xiang family is definitely capable of taking on the important task of resisting Qin. From this point of view alone, Zhang Liang still supports the Xiang family.
But Xiang Liang was also cautious, and he would not take action easily without absolute certainty. Judging from the First Emperor's passing through Kuaiji, he even held back, let alone now?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the oil lamp quietly. Perhaps, he should bear it for the time being and wait for the sudden change of the situation. At this time, Zhang Buyu on the side asked softly: "Father, how about we unite with the Xiang family?"
? Attack simultaneously from Xiapi and Kuaiji, disrupt the eastern border of Qin and cause chaos in the country. In this way, the anti-Qin forces in the world will inevitably respond, and Qin will be destroyed."
His son's analysis was not unreasonable, but Zhang Liang still wanted to choose to endure it. He looked at his son, shook his head and smiled: "The time is not yet ripe."
...
In the Lu Mansion of Wu County, everyone gathered in a secret room. During this meeting, there were two more people in the Xiang family. One was Yu Ziqi, who was worshiped by General Zhu, and the other was Huan Chu from Fangfang Mountain. At this time, Huan Chu,
There are already nearly 4,000 people gathered. His main source of weapons comes from the Xiang family. Most of the weapons are crossbows and geese. They are cheap, not high and can be made quickly. However, some of the soldiers and horses are equipped with shields and weapons.
sword.
It can be said that at this time, the Xiang family had enough strength to overthrow Yin Tong and occupy Kuaiji. Moreover, Qin Shihuang suddenly passed away and the Qin State was in great turmoil. It was the best time to start a rebellion.
But this matter is important and cannot be decided by one or two people. Therefore, today, after receiving the news of the death of the First Emperor, everyone gathered together.
Xiang Liang coughed dryly, looked at everyone, his voice was slightly tired, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor of Qin died, the country was shaken, the world is watching, people everywhere hope that the six countries can rise again, I have considered rising up, everyone
Tell me what you think."
Xiang Yu couldn't help but laugh loudly and slapped his sword on the table, "Uncle, if you have decided, I am willing to kill Yin Tong's head, use it to sacrifice the flag, and send troops to the Qin Dynasty!"
"Okay, Brother Yu has great ambitions. I am willing to serve as his deputy and go out together." On the side, Huan Chu also laughed, and everyone present nodded and smiled. At this time, Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Brothers, please listen to me."
Xiang Zhuang stood up, walked a few steps inside the house, and then said slowly: "Although the Qin State is in great disgrace, the country is still there. There are no less than 500,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and the total number of defenders in various places is 400,000 to 500,000."
, judging from the current situation, it is very difficult to overthrow the Qin Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang looked at the crowd, and many of them didn't understand. It's no wonder that the last time the First Emperor visited the east, when everyone was preparing to assassinate the First Emperor, he came out to oppose it. Now that the First Emperor has died, everyone is ready to rise up.
, he came out to oppose again, no one would feel better in his heart, but the situation is like this, he has to say, thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang said again: "I remember my uncle once taught me, the teacher is the strongest, the teacher is the old, now
The second generation of Qin has not yet become so mediocre that the people cannot bear it. The First Emperor has just passed away, and everyone is waiting and watching, hoping that Qin will get rid of exorbitant taxes and corvee work in all directions. So, how many people are willing to support the rebellion against Qin?"
Speaking of this, Xiang Zhuang sighed, looked at Xiang Liang, and said sincerely: "In that case, why don't we continue to wait and see, waiting for others to take the first step, and then we will respond, and the fishermen will benefit?"
Xiang Zhuang's words gradually moved everyone, and Xiang Liang nodded slightly. At this time, Xiang Zhuang said again: "Please believe me, soon, someone will rise up and the world will change drastically."
...
Due to the death of the First Emperor, there were few people in the street. White cloth flags were hung everywhere. Qin troops wrapped in white cloth patrolled the street. There was a depressing and murderous atmosphere everywhere.
A white cloth must be hung in front of the door of every house to show grief for the national mourning. The Kong Mansion living in Suiyang is no exception. There are two white lanterns in front of the house. Next to the lanterns, two white cloths are floating in the wind. This is
It was originally used to commemorate Xiangzhuang, but after the national mourning, the Confucius Mansion did not remove the white cloth and still kept it.
In the backyard of Confucius' residence, there is a table with an oil lamp wrapped in white cloth. Next to the oil lamp, there are several bowls of wine and several plates of beans.
A spiritual tablet written in red pen was placed in the center of the altar table, with the words "the spirit of my late husband Xiang Zhuang" written on it. In front of the spiritual tablet, Kong Xiuyun lit an incense stick, put it in the furnace, and looked at the name of Xiang Zhuang on the spiritual tablet. Kong Xiuyun
Tears fell unconsciously.
Ever since she learned that Xiang Zhuang was torn apart by the imperial chariot and died, Kong Xiuyun's heart also died. She had imagined ten thousand beautiful dreams, but they all disappeared with Xiang Zhuang's death. Her future and her marriage were all ruined.
In the hands of the First Emperor.
Therefore, the death of the First Emperor did not make Kong Xiuyun feel sad, but instead made her feel happy.
At this time, Kong Xiuyun was sitting aside. She picked up the oil bowl, refueled the oil lamp, and whispered softly: "Husband, the emperor is dead. You can rest in peace below."
Not far away, Kong Yu saw it in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh. His daughter was still very young. He couldn't ruin her life because of this kind of thing. Thinking of this, Kong Yu walked over slowly and coughed dryly. At this time, Kong Xiuyun
Spotting Kong Yu walking over, she hurriedly stood up and whispered: "Father, you are here."
Kong Kun nodded slightly and looked at his slightly haggard daughter. Kong Kun sighed distressedly: "Yun'er, you are still young and there is still a long way to go. Forget Xiangzhuang and start a new life of your own."
Hearing her father's words, Kong Xiuyun shook her head unacceptable and said excitedly: "I really love him, father, don't force me..."
"But you are not married. You are not from the Xiang family. You can remarry. Do you understand this?" Kong Kun was extremely dissatisfied when he saw his daughter was stubborn. He couldn't help but raise his voice, but the daughter still stubbornly shook her head and cried: "
No, father, from the day he caught the hydrangea, I am already his!"
Kong Xiuyun turned her head and looked at the spirit tablet. She would not find another lover because of Xiang Zhuang's death. She would remain a widow for Xiang Zhuang. Thinking of Xiang Zhuang's death after being torn apart by a car, one can imagine the tragedy. Kong Xiuyun's tears fell again.
, Kong Kun saw that his daughter was so obsessed, and he didn't want to persuade her any more, so he sighed and left.
Coming out of the backyard, Kong Kun quickly returned to his room. The death of the First Emperor was, for many people, the coming of an opportunity, or a turning point of an era. Their long-planned plan to restore the country would be silenced at this moment.
The news broke out, but this was just Kong Kun’s idea.
The Qin State is still very powerful. It may not be the best time to start an uprising at this time, nor may it overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Kong Kun sighed again. He had to lament that the situation was changing so quickly. He only got a good son-in-law last year, and he and Fusu
We met, and this year, our son-in-law Xiang Zhuang died in the power struggle between Fusu and Hu Hai.
Nowadays, my daughter is obsessed with Xiang Zhuang. I have tried many times to persuade her, but I can't change her daughter at all. Should I just let myself watch my daughter waste her time like this?
Kong Yu was deeply worried, but he had nothing to do. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and his son Kong Ji's voice sounded: "Father, can I come in?"
Kong Yu collected his emotions, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "Come in."
Kong Ji opened the door and walked in, bowed in front of Kong Kun, then handed a letter to his father and said softly: "The person here claims to be a staff member of the Zhou Municipal Government. Please reply as soon as possible."
Kong Yu stared at his son for a while, then took the letter and opened it to read. In the book, Zhou Shi, on behalf of the Wei family, said hello to Kong Yu and pointed out that after the fall of the Wei State, the descendants of the Wei State always wanted to restore the country, but they were limited by the timing.
It has not yet arrived. Now, Qin Shihuang has collapsed and the world is in chaos. It is a great opportunity. I hope that Kong Yu can assist the Wei State together. In the future, high officials will be rich and generous.
After reading this, Kong Kun couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the descendants of Wei can't sit still."
Recalling the night banquet at the Kong family that day, Wei Jiu was also present. This son had dreams in his heart and his future was limitless. When he first formed an alliance with the Xiang family, he also considered assisting the Chu state, but now, Kong Yu felt that he should reconsider.
Bureau.
Kong Yu put the parchment scroll on the oil lamp and watched the letter burning slowly. Then he threw the letter into the spittoon and fell into deep thought. After an unknown amount of time, Kong Yu remembered his son Kong Ji beside him and said in a deep voice: "I'm tired."
Yes, you can go back first and we will discuss this matter later."
