Fu Jian's face darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his voice: "Prime Minister Wang, didn't I tell you not to mention this matter again?"
If Fu Jian just now was a humble younger brother who followed his elder brother's teachings, now he is full of imperial demeanor, and even his voice has a hint of storm. From the moment he called Wang Meng a lonely man and called him by his official name instead of his nickname, he made his position clear. Now there is a distinction between monarch and minister, unlike just now when they were just talking about personal friendship.
How could Wang Meng not know this truth? He sighed and said: "King of Heaven, I didn't mean to embarrass Murong Chui. It's true that the Murong clan is extremely ambitious and has no intention of repaying any kindness. Although you have done your best to them, you will always be punished by them. Backlash.”
Fu Jian said coldly: "When they became an independent country, they were all attacked and destroyed by Gu. Even if they had bad intentions and rebelled again, Gu could still destroy them again. What is there to worry about? Just like this time in You Fu Zhong, who raised an army in the state and rebelled, had rebelled once before, and Gu had forgiven him once, but this time he was no longer merciful."
Wang Meng shook his head and said seriously: "King of Heaven, please be careful. What you are destroying is the Yan State without Murong Chui. It is the Yan State where the clans are suspicious of each other, the monarchs and ministers are at odds, and the people are alienated. If Murong Wei did not fear Murong Chui back then, If you don't force him away because of his outstanding generals, if Murong Chui was in charge of Yan's army back then, would you really be sure to destroy Yan?"
Fu Jian frowned slightly. Wang Meng's words touched his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Murong Chui is indeed a man of literary and military skills. He can be called a peerless handsome man. Such a talent cannot be tolerated in other countries. He has great power." If a poor person comes to me, I will take him in and entrust him with important responsibilities, so that the talented people in the world can take the initiative to come to me. Over the years, he has led troops in our country and has made many military exploits without any treason. If I did it for no reason. If he beheaded him, wouldn’t it chill the hearts of all the people in the world?”
Wang Meng sighed: "King of Heaven, you are not doing this to win the hearts of the people in the world, but to eliminate a huge hidden danger. Murong Chui can even betray his motherland, what else can't he do? The more he behaves The more submissive you are, the more problematic it is. Moreover, he has repeatedly encouraged you to attack Jin recently, which is harboring evil intentions!"
Fu Jian's expression changed: "Why can't he speak like this? Prime Minister Wang, do you hate Murong Chui so much for the sake of the country, for your own consideration, or are you going to retaliate because he disagrees with you?"
Without saying a word, Wang Meng knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you, and the sun can tell me how loyal I am to you. You have been kind to me, and I will only repay you with all my heart, so how can I be jealous of talents?" What? Over the years, I have recommended countless generals and good ministers to you, why are you jealous of Murong Chui?"
Fu Jian sighed, stood up and helped Wang Meng, held his hand and sat down, saying softly: "Jing Lue, I made a mistake just now, don't take it to heart, I trust you absolutely. But I just don’t understand why you hate Murong Chui so much. Ever since he came to surrender, you have repeatedly asked me to kill him. Don’t you know that this will cut off the way for talented people from all over the world to come to surrender? "
Wang Meng shook his head: "Murong Chui is different, he is not a talent, he is the most dangerous enemy. He can defeat Huan Wen, the first general of the Jin State, on the battlefield. He is powerful in the world and is the Great Wall and pillar of the Yan State. Back then When the Yan Kingdom was still there, we needed to win over talents from Guandong, and we could reluctantly keep him. Now that the north has been unified, we can never keep this person!"
A trace of displeasure flashed across Fu Jian's face: "But he didn't act against him, and the Yan Kingdom has already died. How could Murong Chui make trouble?"
Wang Meng said sternly: "This is the problem. The Yan Kingdom has been destroyed. In the eyes of the Xianbei people, the last emperor Murong Wei is just the king of the ruined country and is no longer worthy of leading them to restore the country. Only Murong Chui has such popularity now. Consider him the leader of all Xianbei people. Even if you asked Murong Chong to attend the coming-of-age ceremony just now, didn't you also ask Murong Chui to host it?"
Fu Jian was speechless for a moment and remained silent.
Wang Meng curled up his lips: "Now the Qin Dynasty seems to be peaceful, but you, the King of Heaven, still rule the Central Plains as a foreigner. Although you govern the people in a lenient manner and all races are equal, your benevolence and righteousness may not be able to win over those who are ambitious. Loyalty, now they are just waiting for the opportunity. Once the Qin Dynasty loses a large-scale war, or the court is unstable and clans are fighting, the Xianbei, Huns, Qiang and other foreign races will take the opportunity to rebel and seize the throne. Your world!"
Fu Jian sneered: "Don't the Han people know it?"
Wang Meng nodded: "By that time, the world will be in chaos, and Jin's army will naturally go north. However, the north has not been owned by Jin for hundreds of years. The people in the north may not have much sense of belonging to Jin. They want more. A stable environment. This time Fu Luofu rebelled again, but fortunately it was put down in about a month. If the war continues for two or three years, the barbarians of all ethnic groups in Daqin will definitely rise up and rebel, and the most dangerous ones will , it’s this Murong Chui, he’s encouraging you to attack Jin right now, isn’t he just waiting for this opportunity?”
Fu Jian shook his head: "Jing Lue, no matter whether Murong Chui advises me or not, I will unify the world and destroy the Jin State. I know that you are a Han and the Jin State is a country of the Han people. Maybe in your heart, the Jin State The royal family is the orthodoxy, but you must also consider my feelings. As an emperor, I see that there are still countries in the world that do not belong to Da Qin."
Wang Meng sighed: "My King, if I really only valued my Han identity and regarded the Jin Dynasty as orthodox, I would have followed Huan Wen back to the south when he invaded Guanzhong. The reason why I stayed here was not just for Will I assist you? It’s not that you shouldn’t destroy Jin, but the time is not yet ripe.”
Fu Jian said dissatisfiedly: "Why is the time premature? Now Daqin is thousands of miles away, has millions of soldiers, and has a population five times that of Jin. This advantage is greater than when Jin defeated Wu and unified the world. Why do I Can’t we destroy Jin?”
Wang Meng shook his head: "At that time, the Jin State destroyed Wu, which was what the people of the world wanted. The Jin State replaced the Wei Dynasty, which has long been the orthodoxy in the north. The Three Kingdoms have been at war for hundreds of years, and the people of the world have unified their minds. But now, within Da Qin, there are many people who want to give up. The foreign tribes you destroyed and conquered are just like Murong Chui and the Xianbei people. What they want is not to contribute to your country, but to hope that Qin and Jin will fight and both lose, so that they have a chance to rise. Don't talk about them, they are Di Don’t there also be treasonous people like Fu Luo and Fu Zhong among the clan members of our clan?” chapter;
