Chapter 128 Towards a New Era
Turning through the vast collection of historical records and wandering through the long river of history with white waves, many dynasties passed by like meteors, but as they passed, what was left was inexhaustible historical wealth.
In just 15 years, the Qin Dynasty became a permanent memory in people's hearts in the fire of the King of Western Chu. However, in the period of the establishment, development and growth of Qin, many heroes rose and fell one after another, "there are talented people in the country and each led the way for hundreds of years." Duke Mu of Qin learned from the wise and corrected when he knew his mistakes; Duke Ai of Qin was ordered to save the Chu State; Duke Xiao of Qin was not confined to one style and implemented reforms; King Zhaoxiang of Qin kept a low profile and respected the virtuous and the inferior; King Qingxiang avenged his father and was full of great ways to make a fortune. The short-term unified dynasty was the accumulation of quantitative changes. The most typical qualitative factors that constitute these quantitative changes were those talented and powerful people who were born in the grass and worshipped in the humble room.
Among them, the most typical ones are Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi and others, and Fan Ju also became one of the best because of the development of the situation in the late Warring States Period.
Anyone who can make a fortune and jump from a commoner to become a prominent figure is composed of stages. "It is no difficulty to go down the ridge, and it is difficult to let go of a mountain." After this difficulty has been overcome, he will be able to rise to the top and have a smooth road. On the contrary, he will be delayed and work hard for life. At present, Fan Ju is facing the most critical moment in his life. Compared with the situation of dying in Wei State, he can only be even better than that of the situation of escaping from the Wei State.
Fan Ju handed the letter to the King of Qin. When King Zhaoxiang of Qin saw the letter, he felt like he had met his close friend who had been away for many years. For a moment, his joy was beyond words.
So, the King of Qin appointed Xie Wangji as the master of recommending the wise, and asked him to pass on his life on his behalf, allowing Zhang Lu (Fan Ju did not show him in his real name) to enter the palace quickly.
Wang Ji responded to the imperial edict and felt very happy. He turned around and walked out. Halfway through the way, the King of Qin actually sent a frame to pick up and drop off Zhang Lu. Wang Ji looked at the direction of the King of Qin Ganquan Palace, and a red sun was about to burst out. He couldn't help but sigh, hard work pays off, and finally guarded the clouds and saw the moon bright.
Fan Ju entered the Qin palace with the frame, but he still pretended not to know anything and asked the driver to leave on his own, walking towards the forbidden area of the palace as if no one was around. It seemed that he was an unintentional move, but in fact he had been planning for a long time. At this moment, he could be said to be in control of his wisdom and in the heart.
At this moment, King Zhaoxiang of Qin slowly walked from the opposite side surrounded by crowds. Fan Ju was not afraid at all, and directly faced the King of Qin and walked towards the "Yongxiang". Seeing this, an eunuch quickly stepped forward and angrily scolded: "Who are you when you see the king passing by? How could you not avoid it?" Fan Ju was not afraid, but instead retorted: "Although I am a villain, I am still very clear about the Qin Palace. I only heard that there is an empress dowager and Ranghou in Qin. Have you ever heard of another king?"
In order to achieve a surprising victory, Fan Ju actually

However, he did not shy away at all. After the eunuch scolded him, he continued to move forward. The reason why he was willing to take risks was because he had already thought carefully and hit the key point of King Zhaoxiang with one sentence. If the King of Qin heard Fan Ju's implicit voice, he would definitely talk to him further. Of course, if the King of Qin ignored his words or did not realize Fan Ju's intentions at all, then Fan Ju's arrival in Qin would be considered a tragedy. At that time, Fan Ju was truly inferior to death and had no desire to live.
As Fan Ju expected, the King of Qin not only did not get angry, but instead led him into the inner palace secret room and retreated to the left and right. He waited for the courtesy of the national military officers to talk to Fan Ju alone.
Of course, the King of Qin also knew that the seemingly ruthless person in front of him was Zhang Lu who wrote a letter to him. However, when he reached this state, they were tacit at each other. The focus of the King of Qin was not who he was, but what he could bring to him.
Fan Ju knew that for two years, he had only heard of the situation of the Qin royal family; even his understanding of the Qin King was based on his own experience, combined with the actual environment and his policies. As the saying goes, "Be careful to sail for a thousand years." The more critical the moment comes, the more we should consider the character of King Zhaoxiang of Qin. We must not be greedy for achievements and make progress, so that the ultimate gain is not worth the loss.
Fan Ju was well versed in the way of progress and the method of virtuality and reality. He knew that to detect the thoughts of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he had to flicker his words and make him confused. Sure enough, after drinking for three tours, the King of Qin began to expose his heart to Fan Ju. Unexpectedly, at this time, Fan Ju still pretended to be a master and was also vague about the King of Qin's problems. Seeing this, King Zhaoxiang of Qin knew that Fan Ju did not trust him very much, so he asked more respectfully: "Sir, please don't worry, if you have something to say, please tell me, I really want to listen to Mr.'s superior opinions."
Fan Ju repeatedly avoided the real and the false, timid and avoided answers. This situation happened again and again, and the King of Qin became more sincere. It was originally a palace examination for the examiner to test the examiner, but it turned into a private palace examination for the examiner to test the examiner. Seeing this, King Zhaoxiang of Qin could only take out his trump card, stand up, give a deep gift to Fan Ju, and prayed hard: "I am sincere, and the world can be seen. If the sir is willing to give advice, I will definitely admire you."
Seeing that the time had come, Fan Ju finally opened a gate to the King of Qin. There were two scenes in this gate. Scene 1: King Zhaoxiang of Qin monopolized power, Queen Mother Xuan, Sigui and others eventually became passers-by in history. Scene 2: King of Qin swept the six heirs, eight deserts and nine states, and all listened to the orders of Qin.
The key to opening the door is Fan Ju's words to King Zhaoxiang of Qin. The content of the words has been introduced in detail before, so there is no need to say too much here. The meaning of the expression is very clear: Fan Ju connects King Zhaoxiang of Qin in front of him with the ancient sages such as Yao, Shun, and Yu. Generally speaking, those who are in high positions rarely have vanity, even if they are wise and decisive as King Qin,

People also think Fan Ju’s words are very helpful.
Then, Fan Ju took the opportunity to inspire King Zhaoxiang of Qin to be respectful to the wise and inferior. Compared with Lu Shang, the meaning was very obvious: the King of Qin would not use him, and he would have to be the prime minister, and he would have to be a virtuous prime minister. King Zhaoxiang of Qin could not refuse, otherwise he would demote himself to Jie and Zhou, thereby forcing the King of Qin to submit. Immediately, Fan Ju began to express his loyalty to the King of Qin, because it is important to be talented, but more importantly, his talents would bring benefits to the king. So, a kind of generous and tragic word blurted out like this. He first said that he was brave enough for Qin and inspired King Zhaoxiang with his love; later he explained the benefits and harm to kill the virtuous and shocked King Zhaoxiang, so that he could guarantee that he would not be harmed by King Zhaoxiang of Qin's impulse.
The previous words seemed to be flesh and blood, but in fact they were Fan Ju's words of reality and reality, aiming to lay the groundwork for the shortcomings of Qin State later. Of course, the biggest disadvantage of Qin State was Queen Mother Xuan, Wei Ran and others. Fan Ju believed that if this situation was allowed to continue, the status of the King of Qin would be unsecured and Qin State would also overturn the building.
Overall, Fan Ju's words were very skillful. However, after careful examination, he found that the most urgent task of Qin at this time was not to clear the inside, but how to deal with the relationship with the six Eastern countries. However, in order to cater to the King of Qin's "strong, weak branches", Fan Ju could only talk about the issues he was most concerned about, rather than the issues he was most concerned about. First, he could gain the trust of the King of Qin, and second, he could lay the foundation for his position in Qin. If Fan Ju wants to become the prime minister, he must compete with Wei Ran to earn the bargaining chip of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, which is undoubtedly the most reliable and practical. Only with a certain political status can Fan Ju be able to truly show his talents, rather than talk about it like this.
It was not until the King of Qin that he truly emphasized Fan Ju and became a confidant and a loyal minister that Fan Ju began to formulate a strategy for the future development of Qin State - to get along with far and near. This policy not only conformed to the situation at that time, but also could seriously attack Wei Ran's political prestige. Just like the later generations of Zhuge Kongming, who lived in a hut in the cottage, Fan Ju deeply analyzed the situation in the world and the measures and strategies that Qin should take in the future to the King of Zhaoxiang of Qin in a blink of an eye, which made King Zhaoxiang of Qin feel happy as if he was enlightened after hearing this, and attached more importance to and respected him.
Since then, Fan Ju's theoretical status has been initially established.
To truly become the prime minister of Qin and take over the power of Qin, Fan Ju still needs to deal with two groups of people. The first route is Queen Mother Xuan, Wei Ran and others; the second route is the famous general Bai Qi. A legend of blood and fire was born at this time.
In the 41st year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, he was in charge of the country and the political group of Queen Mother Xuan, who had been in charge of Qin for 41 years, collapsed. Qin's diplomatic strategy of "getting far and attacking near and near" also continued to work in the military. Qin was striding with his head and heading towards a new era.
