Although the emperor of Chu was incompetent and treacherous, there were many ministers who smelled danger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After some verbal swords in the court, the emperor of Chu finally agreed to strengthen the border defense, but he couldn't stop Li Shi's move of "borrowing a knife to kill". Before the state of Chu strengthened its defenses, Hu Qitu had already led his troops to capture several counties of the state of Chu.

It turned out that Huqitu and his Yuezhang soldiers were divided into two routes, and the Taer tribe appeared on the border of Liang, Wei and other countries, and Huqitu quietly entered the Tong Pass of Chen State with his soldiers, and directly inserted into Chu State from Tong Pass, which caught Chu State off guard.

After the emperor of Qi captured several county towns in Huqitu, he took advantage of the fact that Chu was concentrating on Huqitu and sent troops to attack Chu from another direction.

The emperor of Chu was sending troops to the border to resist Huqitu when another place "caught fire" again.

The Qin Mansion's "think tank" has been sleepless lately, but Qin Yuan has an attitude of "being in a safe corner", and this attitude directly affected the Emperor of Chu.

The two belong to the same category of people, who like luxury and are timid and afraid of things. This time, Chen Guo borrowed a knife to kill people, and used Qi Guo and Hu Qitu's people to enter Chu State together, and both of them thought about how to stop the war.

In the end, Qin Yuan's policy was to seek peace. This was recognized by the emperor of Chu, but it was strongly opposed by many old ministers in the court.

"Your Majesty, Chen Guo's wolf ambition is obvious. If we blindly seek peace, we can only let them gain an inch! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last time Chen Guo borrowed a proton, he had already put our Chu State together, making us suffer a dumb loss. This time we must not be at their mercy! ”

"What are you talking about? If the fighting subsides, wouldn't it be better to cede a few state capitals? Qin Yuan said.

"Lord Qin's words are wrong, this kind of behavior is tantamount to betraying the country!"

Qin Yuan snorted: "What traitor? It's just a stopgap measure. In today's troubled times, among all countries, isn't it normal for the state capital to change slightly? ”

"This will make Chen Guo think that our Chu State is timid and afraid, and it will breed their ambitions even more!"

Qin Yuan roared: "If it weren't for Lord Wu, you would have made an alliance with the Emperor and the Qi State, there would have been no such trouble!" It was precisely because of the alliance with Qi that angered Chen that Chen secretly sent people to break up the Qi-Chu alliance and instigated Qi to attack Chu. In the final analysis, it's all your fault, and it was you who caused our Chu State to be captured! ”

"You ......"

Qin Yuan said: "Your Majesty, it was Lord Wu and their mistakes that caused this war. In Yichen's opinion, as long as we agree to the demands of Chen and Qi, we can end this war disaster. As long as there is no war, the country and the people will be safe. ”

"Nonsense! Your Majesty, this kind of idea of being in a corner of peace is absolutely unacceptable! ”

The Emperor of Chu was silent for a while, and then said, "I think that Lord Qin's words are deeply in my heart. At present, the war is raging everywhere, and the people are struggling to make a living, if the war can be subsided as soon as possible, the country and the people will be safe. ”

"Your Majesty, you must not, Your Majesty!"

"I have made up my mind, and you don't need to say anything."

Qin Yuan climbed up the pole and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen invited himself to negotiate and share his worries for the emperor." ”

"Qin Aiqing really has a heart that is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and I am very relieved."

"Your Majesty, don't ......"

"Enough!" The Emperor of Chu State interrupted, and said with some impatience, "I have already decided just now, don't say more!" Is it wrong to abandon a few state capitals to protect the entire Chu State? ”

The court fell silent, and many old ministers only shook their heads and sighed.

And Qin Yuan's mind can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. On the surface, he was loyal and patriotic, and invited himself to negotiate, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity of negotiation to make a lot of money.

Regarding Qin Yuan's intentions, Li Shi had long seen it very clearly. And when they learned that the person in charge of the truce negotiations from the State of Chu was Qin Yuan, Li Shi and the Emperor of Qi both breathed a sigh of relief. This money-greedy and lustful villain can only lure him with profit.

In the end, Li Shi used gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties as bait to cede Qin Yuan to two state capitals of Qi State and three state capitals to Chen State. As soon as it was decided, the entire Chu State was shrouded in a dark cloud.

The people complained, and they all said that the emperor of Chu did to raise the soup to stop the boiling, which would only fuel the arrogance of the Chen state. In particular, some hot-blooded scholars and some virtuous strategists of the Qin Mansion were very angry when they heard such news. Many of the strategists and disciples left the Qin Mansion.

The state of Chu lost five state capitals, and nearly one-fifth of its territory went to other countries. And the emperor of Chu accepted the beauties sent by Chen and Qi, and he didn't care about it. How can such an approach not chill the people.

"Recently, the Qin Mansion is about to turn the sky upside down, or the entire Chu State is boiling with resentment, what do you think?" Tang Yunluo asked while drinking tea.

Yu Ruyan sorted out the recipe for Tang Yunluo's medicinal diet for the ladies in the house, and when she heard Tang Yunluo ask, she couldn't help but sigh: "The monarch of Chu is mediocre, and the people are miserable. Rather than this, it is better to let a wiser monarch manage it. ”

Tang Yunluo took a sip of fragrant tea and asked, "Listen to the girl's meaning, the little emperor of the Chen State is the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch?" ”

Yu Ruyan said with a smile: "I don't know if the emperor is the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch, but in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Chu State, where the country has been carved up, these women are still thinking about how to dress up and maintain themselves all day long, and the entire Qin Mansion is still a erosive scene of singing and dancing. Otherwise, how could Qi Guo and Chen Guo be easily allowed to succeed? If it weren't for the unswerving loyalty of some old ministers, the state of Chu would have already become the meat of the mouths of the countries of the Central Plains. ”

"The girl really knows the autumn, and I also feel that the girl is not far from the day when the task is completed." Tang Yunluo said with a smile.

Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said: "I'm not so optimistic, I'm afraid it will take another year and a half, after all, the Qin Mansion is so big, and the Chu State is a strong country in the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years." ”

Tang Yunluo smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter how long it takes, I've always been here with the girl." ”

Yu Ruyan paused, put down her pen, and said, "Sir, I've already sorted it out." Your fragrant tea is gone, and I'll go to the housekeeper in the afternoon to get your share. ”

"Okay." Tang Yunluo smiled warmly.

Seeing that the Qin Mansion was still a prosperous and extravagant scene, Jiang Luan and Wufu were happy. As long as the Qin Mansion falls, the Emperor of Chu will lose his right-hand man. Then their plans are one step closer to success.

In the afternoon, Yu Ruyan went to the housekeeper to get a good fortune, saw Jiang Luan, and was about to go back to the yard when she was hit on the forehead by a stone.

"Ugh!" Yu Ruyan was in pain and couldn't help screaming.

Just as he was about to look, he heard the voice of a woman behind him: "Who is so short-sighted and blocking the way of this palace?" ”

Yu Ruyan looked back, and a young woman with gorgeous clothes, a bewitching appearance, and a graceful figure was looking at her proudly.

"The slave has seen the princess." Yu Ruyan saluted.

This person is Qin Yuan's youngest sister Qin Sang, although Yu Ruyan has seen her for the first time, she has long heard of her reputation for being rude and willful.

Due to the special favor of the Emperor of Chu to the Qin family, Qin Yuan's sister was exceptionally named the princess of Jinling, and the scenery was infinite. (To be continued.) )
