Leaving the palace, Huang Xie invited Qu Chong to his official hall together, although the two were both important ministers of the Chu State, but generally except for the summons of the King of Chu, there were very few such private meetings.

"Taiwei, what do you think of Princess Shuyu?" After sitting down, serving tea, and after some greetings, Huang Xie asked directly and straight to the point.

Qu Zhong pondered for a moment, "The king's opposition is just a distress for the fate of Shuyu Gongyu, in fact, in my opinion, it is a good thing to be public and private." As far as the country is concerned, we can use this marriage to ease the relationship between the two sides, and we will have people who can talk to the Han State in the future, and now the Han State is powerful, not only in the military, but also in the economic oppression of our country, and secondly, since Princess Shuyu likes it, it can be regarded as fulfilling her wish. ”

"So, the captain can support it?" Huang Xie said with a smile.

"Don't you mean that?" Qu Zhong smiled and asked, "The king just feels sorry for Princess Shuyu and doesn't want her to return to Jicheng, but in my opinion, as long as Princess Shuyu insists and we work harder, it is not difficult to do this." The point is that the infantryman is not married yet, and if he already has a family, then he can only do it. ”

Huang Xie slapped his palms and snapped, "Okay, this matter is settled, Zhao Ding is about to leave for Jicheng to discuss with the other party about the details of the introduction of bridge building technology and cement formula, so let him do this by the way." ”

"That's very good." Qu nodded his head, "But Shoufu, if this matter is done, how can we explain it to the Qin State, after all, we are still allies now, and such a big matter must be reported." ”

"Why do you have to confess?" Huang Xie sneered, "Today's Qin State is no longer what it used to be, the country is full of black smoke and miasma, Ying Ying and Fan Sui have adopted the national policy of the Han State, the country is full of smoke, and Li Confucian scholarship has dominated the Qin State for decades. It has long been entrenched, the forces are intertwined, and now they want to change their ways, how can it be so easy? Now that the government is not clear, there will be discord, Lu Chao has a strong army according to Hanguguan, and actually controls the land of several counties, Tan Feng seems to support Fan Zhe, but no one can say what kind of little Jiujiu is fighting in his heart. Zhou Yu's influence is almost negligible, Bai Qi presided over the training of recruits in Xianyang, but he was elbowed everywhere and was inefficient, Tai Lieutenant, how long do you think the Qin State can last? ”

Qu Zhong shook his head, "A kingdom that was extremely powerful for a while has fallen to such a situation in just a few years. It's really lamentable, but although the Qin State is now very unbearable, Lu Chao is guarding Guguan, and Tan Feng is based on Yingchuan. Still firmly blocking the Han army, their biggest problem lies in internal affairs. Isn't it a bit of a stretch for the captain to say how long they can last? If the Han people don't attack, they may fight hard. But if the Han State attacked in a big way, they would be united under external pressure. To the outside world, Shoufu should not forget that whether it is Lu Chao or Tan Feng, there are inseparable beams with Gao Yuan. ”

Huang Xie laughed, "Taiwei misunderstood what I meant, I didn't ask about this, I said Lu Chao." ”

"Lu Chao?" Qu Zheng asked in surprise, "What do you mean, Captain?" ”

Huang Xie went back and forth in the room a few times, and personally filled the teacup for Qu Chong, "This matter has been haunting me for a long time, I haven't thought it through, so I can only hide it in my heart. ”

"Shousuke, please." Qu nodded his head.

"Why did Lu Chao succumb so easily? I mean, he so easily relinquished control of the court and left Fan Sui to carry out this so-called reform? With the strength of the Li Sect and the army controlled by Lu Chao, it was really easy for them to stop this matter. ”

"They stopped it, but it didn't succeed, Fan Sui was assassinated many times on the way to Xianyang, if it wasn't for the desperate protection of the Black Ice Platform, Tan Feng sent an army to escort him, I'm afraid that Fan Sui would be a corpse when he returned to Xianyang." Qu said.

"Captain, here's what I'm wondering about." Huang Xie shook his head and said: "Among the people who made the move, there are indeed some core figures of the Li School, but the question is, why didn't Lu Chao, the new flag leader of the Li School, make a move?" I believe that if this person makes a move, Fan Sui will never be able to make it to Xianyang alive. ”

Huang Yi asked solemnly, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Or is it because Lu Chao has always had a good relationship with Yingying, he is loyal to Yingying, and he doesn't want to tear his face with Yingying, so on the basis of retaining military power, he has made a step on this matter?" ”

Huang Xie sat down and looked at Qu Zhong steadily. looked a little hairy at the weight, "What's the matter, Shousuke, am I wrong?" ”

"Does the Captain think this reason makes sense?" Huang Xie said lightly: "Judging from Lu Chao's ability to firmly control Hangu's skills and skills in the hundreds of thousands of troops and several counties, this person is an extremely powerful character, how can he not understand that once Fan Sui succeeds in changing the law, it will be his end?" How could an increasingly powerful court tolerate the existence of such a powerful person like him? Ying Ying and Fan Sui's concession is just the situation of the times, and they have to do it, once the form is reversed, I am afraid that they will immediately aim at Lu Chao, Lu Chao will not see this, but why does Lu Chao pretend not to know? ”

He looked at Qu Zheng, and then asked, "Is it true that as you said, Lu Chao is very loyal to Yingying?" But if he is loyal, what Lu Chao is doing in Hangu Pass now, I can't see how loyal he is? In fact, Lu Chao quickly managed the area around Hangu Pass into his small kingdom. ”

Shousuke's words went around and around, and they all confused me. What do you mean by that? He asked.

"Lu Chao's retreat, the price paid is to throw out a few core figures of the Li school, on the surface, Fan Sui has indeed controlled the power of the central court, but Taiwei have you thought about it, except for these core figures, the Li school still holds great strength in the Qin court, Fan Sui can't clean up these people, at least not in a short time, so Fan Sui takes the strategy of winning over and disintegrating, trying to make these people for his own use."

"That's not a bad strategy!" Qu said solemnly: "Only in this way can the government develop in a stable manner, if you wash the ground thoroughly, I am afraid that the Qin court will collapse, after all, the Li school has controlled the Qin country for decades, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, even if it is a Mengxue boy, at the beginning of enlightenment, it is also a reading book compiled by the Li school!" ”

Huang Xie took a deep breath, "I mean, what if all this is the beginning of a big conspiracy?" Lu Chao's concession was purposeful, and the characters in the Li school were pulled over by Fan Sui one by one, which was also premeditated, what do you think? ”

Qu Chong stood up suddenly, the chair was driven by his huge body, and there was a loud noise, if he hadn't grabbed it with his hand, he would have fallen to the ground.

Qu Zheng's voice trembled a little, "Shousuke, you guess that all this is being manipulated by Lu Chao in secret?" If that's the case, what does Lu Chao want to do? ”、

"Pretending to retreat, but firmly controlling the military power, the real power figures in the Li school looked at the stars, the dismissal of dismissal, the surrender of surrender, but at the grassroots level in various places, the Li school control of the real power has not changed in the slightest, Lu Chao's concession forced King Qin and Fan Sui to return the favor, basically acquiescing to the fact that Lu Chao is now cutting off the drama, after a long time, I am afraid that this will become the norm, and once Fan Sui's reform fails, the people's grievances are boiling, and the flames are everywhere, what will happen then?"

"Will Lu Chao rebel?" Qu Zheng's voice trembled a little, "It's unlikely, Lu Chao was originally a Yan person, and the generals and soldiers of Qin State were all under him." ”

"The generals and soldiers of the Qin State?" Huang Xie sneered, "If these people are really loyal, how can they make Lu Chaozhi obedient?" Only his order was from the intelligence sent back by the spy of the ghost shadow in Hangu Pass, there are a few words that make me think deeply, the Qin army there only knows that there is a general, but I don't know that there is a king. Taiwei, if, I mean, if Fan Sui's reform really fails, and something big happens in Xianyang, is it easy for Lu Chao to do something? ”

"Shoufu, Xianyang still has the Black Ice Platform, as well as 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, and the new army trained by Bai Qi, as long as these are not chaotic, how can Lu Chao make trouble, he can't give up Hangu Pass, wave the army and go straight to Xianyang, if so, the Han army still has the reason not to drive straight in, and then Lu Chao will not get anything, and he will have to bear the infamy of a traitorous Shijun."

"Yes, this is also where I can't figure it out, Lu Chao must have a helper in Xianyang, and this person's status is not low, and he has the trust of King Qin, only in this way can it make sense, but who is this person?" Huang Yi thought hard.

Looking at Huang Xie's appearance, Qu Zheng couldn't help but say: "It won't be for nothing, this person has served under Lu Chao, and Lu Chao attaches great importance to him and has been promoted again and again." ”

"It will never be this person, if it were this person, Lu Chao would have been so steady step by step without patience, or it was because of this person's birth that Lu Chao's layout was disturbed." Huang Xie shook his head and said. "I really can't think of who this person will be, but one thing I'm sure of is that Fan Sui's reform will definitely fail, because more than 90% of the local officials are people from the Li school, as long as Lu Chao does not die, these people will have a spiritual support, or, they have quietly gathered under the banner of Lu Chao, for these people, it doesn't matter who is in power, the important thing is that their school can occupy a dominant position for thousands of years." Huang Xie said categorically.

"Shousuke, your inference is too scary!" Yielding couldn't believe it.

"Scary? I'm scared of myself a little bit! Huang Xie took a deep breath: "I'd rather believe it than believe it, Tai Lieutenant, on top of the military, we should also have some corresponding arrangements." I always feel that Han Guo is far and wide pushing this matter. (To be continued......)
