After Peng Yue returned to Daliang, he was immersed in the joy of being the king for a long time. Daliang's generation, with fertile fields and lakes, has always been a place of wealth and magnificent. Although Daliang was no longer as prosperous as before, nine out of ten rooms were empty and white bones were exposed, Peng Yue believed that through his governance, Daliang would definitely restore its former vitality.

It was in this intoxication that he spent a year until 203 BC and the 7th year of Qin II. The Liang King, who was sensitive and politically slow, felt that a certain crisis was approaching quietly. This concern actually came from the Qin Emperor II, who was constantly rewarded.

At the beginning, the King of Qin gave him only one reward, except gold, but also beauties, and wine. There were rewards almost every one or two months, and each time, there were thirty or forty beauties of Qin. Therefore, the harem of King Liang was everywhere, and for Qin II, his secrets were less and less. Later, Qin II's reward gradually expanded, so that even the generals under Peng Yue were rewarded with him. First, Wang Tiankai, then Hu Zhe, and some intermediate generals, ranging from one hundred gold to ten thousand gold. The glory of gold and the beauties of Qin were scattered in the streets and alleys of Daliang and the residences of the ministers. It can be said that Peng Yue's every move and every move may not escape Qin II's eyes and ears.

All the officers, politicians and civil officials in Daliang were grateful to Qin II and expressed their loyalty to Qin II much more than to King Liang. Peng Yue began to doubt his subordinates, and he didn't dare to tell them anything. Compared with titles, beauty and gold are more affordable. Whoever gives the gold can touch people's hearts can control people's hearts. At this time, Peng Yue was not only worried, but also angry. The King of Qin did this, obviously because he was worried about him and was trying to alienate him and his ministers. However, Peng Yue had no choice but to do so. In terms of financial resources, he might not be able to compete with the powerful Qin Dynasty for the rest of his life.

Wang Zhu's plan of disagreement was not just to distract Peng Yue from his relationship with his subordinates. The most insidious thing about this move was that he was blatantly under Peng Yue's nose from beginning to end, and the ultimate goal was to make Peng Yue feel a sense of crisis, and thus rebel desperately and embark on the road of no return. Wang Zhu had already thought that if Peng Yue rebelled, he would send Han * to wipe it out. If Han * didn't go, he would be dead. If he went, it would be a situation where both sides suffered losses. Then, he came out to clean up the mess and annex Han and Liang Kingdom in one fell swoop. It was justified and saved manpower.

Wang Zhu spent a year implementing his plan, and Peng Yue realized this in the last few days of the year. During the rest of the time, he was busy using the golden characters given to him by Wang Zhu. So all the ministers and the people of Liang State said enviously when passing by this palace: "This is the palace given to Peng Yue by the Qin Emperor, which is so perfect. The emperor is so nice to Peng Yue."

Every time Peng Yue heard such a sound, he couldn't help but feel chilled and a little suffocated, as if a hungry wolf had stepped on the hunter's trap.

Since Wang Zhu implemented a divisive plan against Peng Yue, he has received secret reports from the ministers of Liang State that Peng Yue had rebelled. They were all made out of nothing or were stolen, and there was no practical evidence. Wang Zhu ignored them all. If he wanted to create an unjust prison, he would not have to go through such a big deal. The difficulty lies in the fact that these things cannot be discussed with anyone. Although Wang Ao, Li Zuoche and others did not oppose him to reduce the vassal states. However, everyone is a minister after all. If Peng Yue dies, they will definitely feel sad that the rabbit dies and the fox will die.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Zhu remembered that there was a man who was an expert in conspiracy, who was cruel and decisive in dealing with things. This person was Lu Zhi, Mrs. Lu. The Records of the Grand Historian said that Lu Zhi "was a resolute person, who assisted Emperor Gaozong and ruled the world, and the ministers he killed were all the powers of the Lü family!" It can be seen that Lu Zhi had long realized the terrible nature of the princes and kings.

Wang Zhu told Lu Zhi about his thoughts on the couch, and Lu Zhi was indeed very interested. And immediately came up with a plan. "Your Majesty, I used to have a general named Li Wu who is now a servant under Peng Yue's tent. I can write a letter to him and let him frame Peng Yue."

Wang Zhu said disappointedly, "I have so many accusations without evidence, but it is not possible at all. If it can be done, Peng Yue will be finished soon." Lu Zhi smiled and shook his flowers. "Then, if Li Wu urged Peng Yue to rebel, would it be legitimate?"

Wang Zhu sat up happily; "If Peng Yue really raised an army, it would be great. With his current military strength and situation, he would definitely die. But I was afraid that Li Wu would not be able to tell him." Lu Zhi said; "We can try this. Even if Li Wu could not tell Peng Yue, it would definitely make him feel uneasy, restless, and reveal his flaws."

Needless to say, the Grandpa Li Wu can be regarded as Peng Yue's confidant. After receiving Lu Zhi's letter, he decided to act according to the plan without hesitation. The reason was that Lu Zhi promised in his heart that after the matter was completed, he would let Li Wu be the King of Liang. Li Wu was probably not a smart person, and he believed in such nonsense, and he walked into the trap carefully arranged by Lu Zhi and Wang Zhu step by step.

After reading the letter, the Grandpa Li Wu burned the letter and thought for a while before coming to see Peng Yue. At this time, Peng Yue had just woken up from a nap and was in a daze. Li Wu was brought in by the maid.

"Mr. Li has something to see me!" Peng Yue said yawning! Li Wu owed his body and said mysteriously; "Your report to the king, I have some secret matters here, please leave the left and right." Peng Yue waved impatiently, and a large group of maids and eunuchs were driven away. "Tell me!" Peng Yue nodded. Li Wudao; "Your Majesty, I have a few words, don't you know whether to say it or not?!" Peng Yue thought to himself, this is all nonsense. If you think it's not worth talking about it, why did you come to me at noon! "Speak quickly!"

Li Wu nodded and said, "Master, I don't know if you noticed it. Since you became King Liang, the Emperor's Majesty's rewards seem to be more and more." Peng Yue's teacup just touched his lips, and put it down with a snap, looking around alertly: "What do you mean?" Li Wu said mysteriously; "Don't the King think there is a hidden world here?" Peng Yue pretended to be stupid; "What is hidden world? Don't you tell nonsense. Your Majesty, you understand the heroes and benevolence and righteousness, so you have so many rewards, you don't even know this!"

Li Wu smiled and said, "Does the king really think so? But I think His Majesty the Emperor seems to have a deep meaning, not just to reward meritorious officials. If the emperor thinks about the king's merits, then you can only reward you alone. How can you reward all the ministers and officials from all over the Liang Kingdom? This is clearly a win over people's hearts. In other words, I think the emperor seems to be not at ease with you."

Peng Yue slapped the table and stood up: "Nothing nonsense, Your Majesty has done everything he has done, but he has been misinterpreted by a villain like you. What should you blame me?" Li Wu also knew that Peng Yue must pretend, so he said patiently; "The king doesn't have to do this, this principle is obvious. I am dedicated to the good of the king, and I hope the king will understand it." Peng Yue sneered, "Why are you doing it for me, and why are you obvious? You tell me. If you can't say it out, I will immediately press you to Xianyang for punishment!"

Li Wudao; "King, the heroes of Liang State do need rewards, but this reward should come from the king, not from His Majesty. If Your Majesty really understands you, you should hand over the gold and silver to the king, and then use the king's hand to reward in the name of the king. This is reasonable. However, Your Majesty's current actions are obviously intended to disagree with the king and minister of Liang State, and his heart is punishable-" Li Wu looked at Peng Yue secretly. His last few words were very light, but when it reached Peng Yue's ears, it was like a pair of awl drilling his eardrums, and the goose bumps on his back were already holding up his clothes.

"You - you - bold - go down first and let me think about it carefully-" Peng Yue turned his head and waved his hand.

After Li Wu walked out of King Liang's hall, he let out a long sigh and said in his heart, I'm done with my plan! If Peng Yue didn't believe him, he would never let him walk out of the hall alive.

Li Wu walked out of the Liang King's palace happily and returned to his home. After waiting for Peng Yue to calm down, he sent someone to summon him. Wang Tiankai walked into the Liang King's palace after Li Wu. As soon as he saw Peng Yue, he said to himself, "King, it's not good. I have heard the news that His Majesty the Emperor wants to punish the king, and has designed a trap with others to frame the king." Peng Yue was even more surprised, even more surprised than before, and glared and said, "Where does this start?"

Wang Tiankai told the truth; "I received a secret report that the emperor bribed the grand servant Li Wu and wanted him to instigate the king. The emperor took the opportunity to launch a large army to wipe out the king. He just saw that Li Wu had come. Have you mentioned your Majesty's affairs to the king?" Wang Tiankai was Peng Yue's confidant. Peng Yue had never doubted his loyalty and nodded. "I mentioned, but, where did your news come from? Is it reliable?" Wang Tiankai said; "Absolutely reliable. Your Majesty also has a letter to Li Wu. If the king doesn't believe it, you can arrest Li Wu for interrogation and torture him. He will definitely confess."

At the critical moment of life and death, Peng Yue did not hesitate: "Come on, arrest Li Wu for me. General Wang, you go and interrogate yourself. I want to see if this is really the case?" Wang Tian asked again when he was about to leave. "If this is really the case, what will the king do?" Peng Yue lowered his head and did not speak.

Li Wu was waiting at home for the summoning of the king. Unexpectedly, after a while, a large group of soldiers rushed in and dragged him into the dungeon of the palace. Without any explanation, he beat him up. Li Wu cried to his father and mother and shouted to see the king. The soldiers didn't listen at all, and the whip kept whipping like raindrops.

After a long time, Wang Tiankai walked slowly. As far away, Wang Tiankai heard a ghost crying and howl. He walked in with a smile and greeted Li Wu with his hair disheveled; "Sir Li, hehe, what's wrong with Lord Li today? Why didn't he sleep at home at noon and ran to the dungeon to sing!"

When Li Wu saw Wang Tian coming in, he hurriedly said, "General Wang, General Wang, what's going on? I want to see the king. Are these people wrong? I want to see the king?" Wang Tiankai took the whip from the soldiers and smiled sinisterly. "That's right, that's right, these people were all sent by me. The king asked me to do this. Tell me, after all, you have put the letter from Your Majesty to you, and you will not suffer any more flesh and blood if you say it."

Li Wu thought to himself that he would not have to bear the pain of flesh and blood. I am afraid that he will not be able to save his life. How could Peng Yue know? "General Wang, why can't I understand what you said? Is there any secret letter from His Majesty there? Are you wrong?" Wang Tian opened the whip and handed the soldier: "Blow me hard. Lord Li has a bad memory. Please help him think about it."

Two soldiers on the left and right took the whip, dipped salt water in the wooden barrel, and whipped violently according to Li Wu's body. Li Wu grinned, and almost fainted in pain, and kept shouting, "Stop hitting, stop hitting, I remember, remembering." Wang Tian smiled and said, "Then just talk about it, where is the secret letter?" Li Wu said weakly; "I have burned the secret letter-" Wang Tian said angrily; "Beat hard, beat to death!"

The whip whipped again. Li Wu begged repeatedly; "Give up, let go, General Wang, the secret letter was really burned by me, what did you ask me to recruit! You don't think about it. Who would stay such a confidential thing on your body to give someone a handle?!" Li Wu cried and shouted. Wang Tiankai thought about it. Such an important thing must be burned after reading it, and no one would stay on your body.

"It's really burning?"

"It's really burned!"

Wang Tian thought happily, it would be better if it burns! "So, you recite the content of the letter and I will present it to King Liang. If the king feels satisfied, he may let you go." Li Wu was sobbed that his skin was blooming, his whole body was swollen and painful. He still had the energy to recall the letter and kept begging for forgiveness: "General Wang, I really can't remember it." Wang Tian raised his eyes: "You, give Lord Li a long memory." Li Wu was so scared that his whole body trembled; "I remembered it, I remembered it. The letter was written-" Li Wu recited the contents of the letter from beginning to end with his memory.

Wang Tian opened the confession of Li Wu in front of Peng Yue. After reading it, Peng Yue broke out in a cold sweat and said in a daze, "Is this true? Your Majesty wants to plot against me, General Wang, what should I do?"

Wang Tiankai looked around and said carefully, "King, the ancients said, "Beginners, the best move first! At this critical moment, the king must not hesitate at all!" Peng Yue said; "You mean-" Wang Tian said; "Why don't you raise an army to fight for the world and give Qin II the atrocities of the world." Peng Yue said with a wry smile, "But we have no evidence at all. Your Majesty's letter has been burned by Li Wu. How can you win the trust of the princes?"

Wang Tian said, "Li Wu's confession is here, and he is not afraid of the princes not believing it. In this situation, either you die or I die. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight for it. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of life." Peng Yue said, "How many soldiers and horses do we have in our hands?" Wang Tian thought for a while and said, "There are 80,000 infantry and cavalry in total. These men and horses cannot fight against Qin Emperor, but the king can take down South Korea first and use the Korean men and horses to attack Xianyang directly. The big thing can be accomplished."

Peng Yue hesitated, "I have always been loyal to Your Majesty and do not want to rebel. Is there any misunderstanding here?" Wang Tian said, "Li Wu's words are so convincing, how could it be a misunderstanding? Qin Emperor's plan of disagreement is right in front of him, and it is absolutely impossible to fake. King must not doubt it."

Peng Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Is there any other way?" Wang Tian took a step forward and said, "Master, if you stop breaking, you will be in trouble." Peng Yue said, "Even if you want to rebel, you need to prepare food, grass and military needs in a short time!" Wang Tian said, "The king captured Li Wu, and Xianyang will receive the news soon. Our time is already very limited!"

Peng Yue stood up and walked, and was puzzled for a moment: "Would you like to inform King Qi and King Huainan first and let them rise up together?" Wang Tian smiled happily; "That's good, we are alone, and it's better to unite the princes of the world!" Peng Yue said; "But if the big thing doesn't happen-" Wang Tian said; "If the big thing doesn't happen, it's just a death. But if the king sits waiting for death, sooner or later, there will be such a day, so it's better to take a try."

Peng Yue sighed, "General Wang, you are willing to live and die with me!" Wang Tian thought happily, "I am living well, why should I die!" He knelt on the ground with a pounce and said, "The king has the kindness of knowing me, but I ask myself that I can't repay you in this life. If the king has something to do, I will never refuse."

Peng Yue came over and helped Wang Tiankai up and said with emotion, "If you achieve great success in the future, you will be a prince. However, General Wang, do you think that anyone else can trust the entire Liang Kingdom except you?"

Wang Tian said, "Hu Zhe! General Hu Zhe is loyal and trustworthy." Peng Yue pondered, "Hu Zhe? Hu Zhe? Let's do this, go and talk about Hu Zhe and listen to what he said? In case--you must not be ruthless, and you must not let go of the slightest news in this matter."

Wang Tian thought happily that Hu Zhi was born with a trouble-provoking temper. He wanted to find something to do when he had nothing to do, so why would he disagree? "Don't worry, you and I will act separately. I will go to lobby Hu Zhi. The king prepares military supplies and food here. At most, seven or eight days, the army can capture South Korea. Take down South Korea and then settle Hanoi. Hangu Pass can be obtained every night, and Xianyang is already the king's possession."

Peng Yue was always unsure of his mind, but when Peng Yue fooled him, he suddenly became full of confidence and relaxed. He clenched his fists and said, "I had no intention of rebelling. This was all for the tyrant king. Unexpectedly, I, Peng Yue, helped the tyrant king to destroy Xiang Yu, but in the end I ended up like this. Don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
