In the Battle of Yanling, Luan Shu's authority was strongly challenged by Yi Zhi. At the post-war celebration, Jin Ligong listed Hao Zhi as the first hero. And Yin Zhi was not humble, and even made an impromptu speech in the tone of Shangqing. This speech regarded all the ministers present as nothing, and strongly stimulated Luan Shu's murderous heart that was bound to be revenged.

The current situation in the Jin State is that three of the eight secretaries are held by the Yin family; The Jin ** team controlled three-eighths of the total; No clan is powerless to fight against it, and no clan wants to fight against it.

But the Yin family is not indestructible, and the weakness of the Yin family is in the body of the Yin Zhi. Although Hao Zhi is shrewd, he doesn't have much of a city; He likes to boast about himself and belittle others, which offends many people.

In view of the above situation, Luan Shu decided to start with Yin Zhi and bring down the Yin clan by making a stinky Yin Zhi. Yin Zhi has the lowest status among the Eight Qings, but he is the most favored by the public; Luan Shu used ingenious means to transform the time when Hao Zhi gained great glory into the beginning of the great disaster suffered by the Hao clan.

Zigan's younger brother, Wang Ziqi, was captured by the Jin during the Battle of Yanling, and he was imprisoned in a large garage in Xintian Castle. Wang Ziqi lived a life of fear every day, he could not bear the difficult life of a prisoner, and he did not want to be exchanged back to Chu (because his patron had already fallen).

Luan Shu learned about the above situation and found an entry point from him. Cheng Hua, a retainer of the Luan Shu faction, said to him: "You also participated in the incident where the prince wiped out the Qu Wu clan back then, right?" I heard that you are also very active and have killed many innocent people. Qu Wu is a very popular figure in front of the widow, and he has made a stern accusation against the widow against you, and has wept bitterly day and night, begging the widow to give you to him. He will use your blood to pay tribute to the souls of those whom you have slain. What are your thoughts on this? ”

When people are greatly stimulated, their thinking will be cut off, and they are most likely to lose judgment. The prince first collapsed to the ground, unconsciously striking a strange pose, as if to show a kind of performance art. After a long time, he got up and walked to Cheng Li's feet, hugged his thighs and cried, "Master, save me!" Don't give me to Qu Wu! Master, save me! ”

Cheng Hua seemed a little at a loss, and he even felt embarrassed for this unorthodox prince, so he squatted down and signaled him not to be too excited, and then lowered his voice and said: "If the son doesn't make meritorious contributions, the master can't save you!" ”

Wang Ziyi's IQ suddenly went online, and he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, the master asked me to make meritorious service, of course I want to make meritorious service!" ”

Cheng Hua whispered in his ear, and the prince nodded frequently. Cheng Hua left satisfied, and the prince sat down alone and pondered: "Who is that mysterious 'Master'? Why do you hate Hao Zhi so much? ”

Soon, the Duke of Jin Li summoned the captured high-ranking nobles of the Chu State, and Wang Ziqi was the first. After Wang Ziqi asked Li Gongping to go left and right, he revealed an amazing inside story.

Wang Ziqi said that the battle of Yanling was originally planned by the prince and Xun Zhi! It turned out that both were dissatisfied with the status quo in the country. Zi wanted to completely collapse Zizhong through victory, and Xun Zhi wanted to take advantage of the defeat to kill Jin Li Gong and set up Sun Zhou as the king. Yin Zhi once said in a letter: "The widow has always pampered those stubborn children, they are so arrogant that even Shiqing doesn't pay attention to them!" These villains and traitors will one day endanger the community, so it is better to eradicate them as soon as possible! As long as the Chu army oppresses the Jin army before the arrival of reinforcements, I will do my best to encourage the widow to fight, and the Jin army is insufficient, and it will inevitably be defeated! So you and I have our own will, and we are all happy. ”

Jin Ligong was shocked and angry, and he made an exception to cancel the palace banquet scheduled for that night; The men and women who had been invited had already arrived, but he had been kicked out again.

Duke Li of Jin immediately summoned Luan Shu, repeated the words of Wang Ziqi to him, and asked for his opinion.

Luan Shu said: "I'm afraid that's the case! He has always procrastinated in doing things, why did he urge the march to rush to war during the war? He saw Chu Ziru three times during the battle, and he was able to capture Zheng Bo but deliberately let him go; None of this is the way to deal with the enemy.

What's more, he even risked being punished and accepted the envoy of the Chu State without authorization. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Qi army, the Jin Kingdom would have been defeated! But on the other hand, Chu Gongzi may also make up nonsense in order to get a pardon, so his words should not be fully trusted. As for how to verify the authenticity, why don't you send Yin Zhi to sacrifice prisoners to the royal family, and then spy on him to see if he has any contact with Sun Zhou? ”

Jin Ligong nodded frequently, he felt that Luan Shu had solved a big knot, and his mood was suddenly good; He ordered the feast to be reopened, and to call back the guests who had just been driven away.

Soon, Yin Zhi was ordered to lead a large delegation to Chengzhou, and Jin Ligong's spies also came all the way.

He Zhi presented Chu prisoners of war and booty to King Jian of Zhou, and asked the royal family to send troops to participate in the attack on Zheng. After completing his mission, he did not return immediately, but swaggered through the city in Chengzhou, making friends with the royal family and ministers, making the city uneasy and peaceful.

The purpose of Hao Zhi is very simple, that is, to use the influence of the royal family to obtain the position of the general of the Chinese army. For this reason, when he visited the doctors, in addition to giving a large amount of money, he also bragged about his "great feats".

On this day, Shan Xiangcheng pretended to be sick at home to avoid Yin Zhi, and Zhao Huan Gong hurriedly rushed in and said, "Let me hide!" Hezhi is going to my house again! ”

Shan Xianggong said: "I want to know that he will go to your house today, and I will pretend to be sick tomorrow." ”

Zhao Huan Gong said: "If you want to pretend to be sick tomorrow, he will come today." A few days ago, I heard Uncle Wang Chen Sheng boasting about him, and I thought he was a virtuous person! But when I saw him, I found out that he was a 'deep appetite and shallow nature'.

"He said that the victory in the Battle of Yanling was entirely his own work, ah! The six defects of the enemy army that he talked about at that time were only superficial and could be seen by others. He said that there is a deeper reason, that is, the Jin Kingdom still has five conditions for victory - I will not repeat those nonsense, and the reason why he did not bring it up at that time was because he was afraid that others would 'not understand'! And if you don't want to fight in those favorable conditions, then you're not human!

He also boasted of how brave he was on the battlefield, how respectful he was for Chu Zi, and how merciful he was to Zheng Bo; If a person like him becomes the secretary of the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that even Chu and Yue will come to the Jin Kingdom to meet him! He also cited the examples of Xianzhen, Xun Lin's father, and Luan Shu jumping straight from a low position to the top of the Qing, hoping that I can support him. I really can't help him! So what do you think of this person? ”

Shan Xianggong said: "This is called 'the knife holder on the neck does not know whether it is dead or alive'!" It is understandable for people to pursue high positions, just like Xun Bo and Luan Bo, Ming Dao and etiquette are praised by all the people, and they will naturally rise to the top.

"The most dangerous way is to use the means of boasting, exalting oneself, belittling and suppressing others, because this is the most hated by others. Therefore, the proverb says: 'The beast hates its net, and the people hate it', and the "Book of Shang" says: 'The people can be near, but not the above'.

"Wen Ji is below the seven, but he tries to surpass others and become above him in one fell swoop, how can he not attract the resentment of others? Hatred is the root of trouble, and catastrophe is approaching like a step! The Book of Summer says: 'Is there any resentment? The invisible scourge must be prevented, not to mention the blatant resentment! As for Uncle Wang Chen Sheng, he and Wen Ji are just colluding with each other to use it, and if Ji Zi is killed, Uncle Wang will not be spared. ”
