Chapter 6 Big Profits (Part 2)
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fan Sui sat upright on a short table, ate meat and drank wine, and was so happy.
Xu Jia knelt straight in front of Fan Sui, his forehead touched the ground, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't stop sifting away the cold sweat oozing out like water, wetting his robe and shirt.
"Grandma!" Xu Jia was so scared that he was pale, not saying that he had teeth hit each other, making a clear sound of teeth ramming.
Fan Sui and Xu Jia had a feud. Fan Sui almost died back then, which was caused by Xu Jia. Fan Sui was originally from Daliang, Wei State, and was a clerk under Xu Jia (equivalent to his current secretary). Because Fan Sui was very talented and had a stable job, he was trusted by Xu Jia, and he had to take Fan Sui with him wherever he went.
Xu Jia was ordered to go on a mission to Qi, and Wei wanted to form an allies with Qi. Xu Jia, a man with no virtue and talent, was arrogant and rude, which made King Xiang of Qi furious and was about to turn against him. Fortunately, Fan Sui was present and responded appropriately, resolving the storm.
Seeing that Fan Sui was very talkative and responded appropriately, King Xiang of Qi admired him very much. If he wanted to recruit Fan Sui, he sent Prime Minister Tian Dan to stay. Tian Dan was famous all over the world and was the pillar of Qi. King Xiang of Qi sent Tian Dan to come forward, which was his importance to Fan Sui. However, Fan Sui was concerned about his homeland at that time and politely rejected King Xiang of Qi's kindness.
After returning to Wei State, Jia thought about it for a while. Fan Sui robbed the limelight of the mission this time. He was so stupid and embarrassed. So he slandered Fan Sui to Wei Qi, the prime minister of Wei State, saying that Fan Sui had an affair with Qi State and betrayed Wei State.
Wei Qi was a clan of the Wei royal family and had no talent. He was able to become prime minister because he was a clan of the royal family. He did not observe the truth clearly, but believed Xu Jia's words and did not give Fan Sui a chance to argue, which made a harsh attack on Fan Sui.
At that time, Wei Qi was having a big banquet for guests. Wei Qi ordered the guests to beat Fan Sui with bamboo strips, which is equivalent to Ling Chi's "fighting". Fan Sui was broken and fainted. Wei Qi refused to give up and ordered people to throw Fan Sui into the toilet and ordered the guests to urinate on Fan Sui.
This is a great shame and a great humiliation. People at that time lamented that "It is like this that the humiliation of a scholar has never been heard of in the ages."
Fan Sui's fate should not be lost, but he was not dead. After waking up, he told the pawn guarding him that he had gold at home, so as long as he sent him home, he would give gold to the pawn. The pawn was greedy and sent Fan Sui home. After Fan Sui recovered from his injuries, he came to Qin through the Qin envoy Wang Ji and offered the strategy of "communicating far and near" to King Zhao of Qin, which was deeply trusted by King Zhao of Qin.
Then, Fan Sui was ordered to seize the power of the prime minister of King Zhao of Qin, the uncle of King Zhao of Qin. He successfully completed the task and forced Queen Mother Xuan, the mother of King Zhao of Qin, to hand over the power. King Zhao of Qin took power and became the real King of Qin.
Because of his outstanding performance, Fan Sui was highly valued by King Zhao of Qin and became the Prime Minister of Qin.
At that time, Fan Sui's pseudonym was Zhang Lu. It was not until he became prime minister that he explained the truth to King Zhao of Qin. King Zhao of Qin was furious and sent a letter to Wei State, asking King Wei to hand over Wei Qi. If he dared to say something bad, he would raise an army to destroy Wei.
The King of Wei was shocked and wanted to arrest Wei Qi. Wei Qi left with seals and wanted to surrender to Xinlingjun, but Xinlingjun did not dare to accept it. Wei Qi went to Handan and defected to Pingyuanjun. Pingyuanjun took in Wei Qi for his sake. However, as soon as Wei Qi arrived in Handan, the Qin envoy arrived in Handan. King Xiaocheng of Zhao was frightened and asked Pingyuanjun to surrender Wei Qi.
Pingyuan Jun had already regretted it. If he had known it was so difficult, he would not have taken Wei Qi in. For his own sake, he could not hand over Wei Qi. After King Zhao of Qin received the news, he sent a letter to Zhao State, asking Pingyuan Jun to come to Qin State to explain in person. King Xiaocheng of Zhao did not dare to disobey, so he had to order Pingyuan Jun to come to Xianyang.
After Pingyuan Jun arrived in Xianyang, King Zhao of Qin placed Pingyuan Jun under house arrest. Wei Qi lost his backer and was desperate, and finally wiped his neck himself.
This is the famous revenge story in Chinese history "Fan Sui Revenge".
Fan Sui was insulted by Xu Jia, which was caused by Xu Jia. Logically speaking, Fan Sui would not let him go, but must kill him. The reason why Fan Sui let Xu Jia go was because Xu Jia had a benevolence for a moment and saved his life.
The pseudonym Zhang Lu used by Fan Sui at that time, he became the prime minister of Qin. The news spread all over the world. The six Shandong countries hurriedly sent envoys to Qin to congratulate him.
At that time, Qin was the strongest Warring States Period, and the land of Shandong had to be based on Qin's expression. Qin was so obsessed with such a major event that it would be impossible not to send envoys to congratulate him.
Xu Jia happened to come to Xianyang on behalf of the State of Wei to congratulate him. When Fan Sui heard that Xu Jia was coming, he changed into a tattered robe and pretended to be in a very down-and-out manner to meet Xu Jia.
I don’t know what Xu Jia thought at that time, maybe because he felt guilty. Seeing Fan Sui so "down" and suddenly felt pity. He immediately bought a good wine and meat for Fan Sui to eat, and even took off his clothes and draped them on Fan Sui.
During the meal, Xu Jia said that he had been to Xianyang for many days, but he could not see the Prime Minister of Qin. Of course, he didn't know that Fan Sui was deliberately making things difficult for him and did not see him.
Fan Sui said that he had an acquaintance in the Prime Minister's Mansion and could be used to be harmonious. Of course, Xu Jia would not doubt Fan Sui's talent, so he believed it. After Fan Sui had dinner, the two rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When Fan Sui arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Fan Sui wanted Xu Jia to wait, and said that he went in to find someone, Xu Jia did not doubt it, so he waited honestly.
Jia Yi waited not to see Fan Sui, and the second waited not to see Fan Sui, and was very impatient. At this moment, many guests came and found out that the Prime Minister of Qin was going to have a big banquet for guests today.
Xu Jia secretly remembered that he was lucky enough to catch up with the banquet of the Prime Minister of Qin today. This is a very difficult thing to encounter. There is something to brag about when he returns to Wei.
Soon, someone invited him in. Xu Jia Huan was so happy that he could drink some water, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered, he was stunned on the spot when he saw Fan Sui, who was sitting high in the upper seat. Only then did he realize that Fan Sui was the prime minister of Qin and he wanted to escape immediately. However, Fan Sui would not let him go, and ordered people to use the forage to feed the horses. Jia had to eat it in front of so many guests.
This is a humiliation. Xu Jia was afraid of Fan Sui and did not dare not to eat it. He had to endure the disgust and ate the forage in front of many guests.
Fan Sui's shame was caused by Xu Jia. With Fan Sui's hatred for him, no one dared to say no. It was just because Xu Jia had a thought of kindness that Fan Sui humiliated him.
Of course, Xu Jia would not say such a shameful thing. After returning to Wei, he said that he and Fan Sui were good friends and had deep friendships. He would say whatever he liked. The King of Wei believed it and ordered him to be the prime minister.
This was beneficial to Qin State, and Fan Sui had no intention of exposing it. Xu Jia then made the Prime Minister of Wei State stable.
Qin State got the Nine Cauldrons, and Wei State did not dare not to congratulate him, so Xu Jia came to Qin State. He was frightened about his trip to Qin State and was most afraid of seeing Fan Sui. He didn't want to get what he was afraid of. As soon as he arrived in Xianyang, Fan Sui ordered someone to "invited" him. He said that it was a invitation, but it was no different from hiding criminals. Several iron eagle soldiers surrounded him in the middle and treated him as a prisoner.
Xu Jia didn't dare to say no, so he had to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Fan Sui in fear.
When he saw Fan Sui's face, Xu Jia's legs became weak and he knelt on the ground, respectfully, even more respectful than seeing his ancestors.
Fan Sui glanced at Xu Jia, only caring about food and drink, and ignored him. This made Xu Jia more uncomfortable than killing him. How should Fan Sui deal with him? At least he would give him a correct letter. Fan Sui didn't say a word, which was too tormenting.
The more Xu Jia thought about it, the more scared he became. In the end, he sifted his whole body, like a coward hitting a ghost in the dark night, and almost fainted.
Finally, after finishing eating and drinking, Fan Sui pushed the plate and asked, "Who is the kneeling person?"
It was obvious that Fan Sui ordered someone to arrest Xu Jia, but he pretended not to know, and he asked with knowledge.
"Sin...sin...people...hu...jia has seen the prime minister!" Xu Jia sighed in an air, and Fan Sui finally asked, which was much better than not asking, and he answered stutteringly.
"Oh, it turns out to be the Prime Minister of Wei." Fan Sui stood up, walked to Xu Jia, looked down at Xu Jia from a high place, and asked, "You are not enjoying wealth and honor in Wei, why are you going to Xianyang?"
Xu Jia recouraged and said, "Xu Jia came to congratulate Qin on the order of the King of Wei."
"Congratulations?" Fan Sui nodded slightly and said, "I guess you have a generous gift this time? I wonder what it is?"
Fan Sui wanted to blackmail Wei and make great gains, and finally came to the topic.
"There are so many precious goods and beautiful jades." Xu Jiabing replied.
"Breeding goods and beautiful jade, what is the use of this for the Qin Dynasty?" Fan Sui said coldly: "These are things that the King of Wei loves. King Qin is so beautiful. He only cares about the land and cities, but not about the precious goods and beautiful jade. You should take them back."
Fan Sui's words were so powerful that Xu Jia almost scared him. Qin did not accept the gifts from Wei, which means that Qin was unhappy with Wei. If he was not good, he would raise an army to destroy Wei. This would be a disaster for Wei.
"Prime Minister, Wei State is willing to split the soil and offer the land." The cold sweat on Xu Jia's forehead surged out like a waterfall, dripping onto the ground, making a crisp "tick" sound.
"Yeah." Fan Sui let out a light whisper from his nostrils.
Hearing Xu Jia's ears, he hurriedly said, "The Great Wei wishes to offer twenty cities..."
Fan Sui did not respond.
Xu Jiabing increased the price: "Thirty cities."
Fan Sui still didn't respond.
"Forty cities..."
"Fifty cities..."
"One hundred cities. Prime Minister, there can be no more." Xu Jia kept raising the price, almost crying.
I have seen someone who is cruel, but I have never seen someone who is so cruel. Fan Sui built a hundred cities after having a meal, which is amazing.

Le Yi’s Mansion, Le Yi was drinking with Ju Xin.
The two of them defected to King Zhao of Yan at the same time, and were highly valued by King Zhao of Yan. They were not only colleagues who shared weal and woe, but also friends with good friendships. They were both very happy to meet this time. Drinking was a great pleasure. It was so happy to drink.
Until the time of drinking, Le Yi put down the wine and asked by Ju Xin: "What have you seen and heard since Brother Ju entered Qin?"
"Sin has not carefully observed since Ju Xin entered Qin, and he saw along the road that the Qin people lived and worked in peace and contentment, were diligent in farming, and the people were simple and obeyed the public and law-abiding. The people of the three generations were just like this. This is the kingly atmosphere." Ju Xin had such a vision, of course, he would not slander Qin like the boring people in Shandong, but would tell the truth.
"Very good!" Le Yi nodded slightly and said, "Brother Ju is a talented man, but he is trapped in the weak Yan, can he be willing to serve in Qin?"
"Yes." Ju Xin was stunned, his eyes flashed with a flash of light, and he asked, "Is this what Brother Le meant, or..."
"This is the proposal of the King of Prince, and the King of Qin and the Prince agreed." Le Yi told the truth: "Le Yi has a good relationship with Brother Ju, so he has retained talent for the King of Qin."
"Why is Ju Xin so lucky to be able to win the King of Qin, Prince, and Prince of the King so much that he dares not obey orders!" Ju Xin was very moved. (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
