In this era, how to save his life, how to keep his power, how to establish greater achievements, and how to retreat from the whole body, this is the difficulty of Zhaoju.

Fortunately, since he learned that Jing Cui was seriously ill, he had already begun to think about this problem, and after months of meditation, he also found a way to deal with it.

That is, not taking sides, always remaining neutral.

However, if he never takes a stand and does nothing, then he will bear the brunt of this Ling Yin, become the focus of the eyes of both sides, and even be jointly attacked by both sides.

In this case, he must be the first to be exterminated.

Therefore, if you want to remain neutral, you have to put on a coat, a cloak that makes it impossible for both sides and even the king of Chu to attack him.

And this coat, Zhao Ju has already found, that is, to learn from the Yan Zi of the former Qi State, and establish a noble reputation for himself to be loyal to the King of Chu and dedicated to the country.

In the past, Yanzi experienced the turmoil of the Qizhuang Gong and Qi Jinggong periods, although the scale of the turmoil at that time was not as large as that of the Chu State, but its intensity was not as bad as the Wu Qi Rebellion of the Chu State, but Yanzi always stood tall, relying on the gorgeous coat of loyalty to the country.

Now, he also wants to put on this coat, as long as he always stands on the side of the Chu State, no matter which side of the Chu State wins in the future, he will not lose.

Moreover, as long as he has this coat, he can maintain the family's powerful position.

And what he did in the court today's meeting was the first thing he did when he put on this coat.

First of all, by splitting Jiangdong County, it was to show the existence of his Ling Yin to the ministers of the Chu State, and to show everyone and even the King of Chu that he, Ling Yin, was not a puppet like Jing Cui, and he was not left to their disposal.

Then, at the same time, he avoided the reformers and the Xungui party, and from the interests of the Chu State, he recommended Jiangdong people to serve as the county guards, which not only appeased Qu Yuan, Tang Wu and others, but also left hope for Xungui to maintain a neutral status.

After all, only by remaining neutral can you not fall into that whirlpool of theirs.

Of course, maintaining neutrality will also lead to both of them having a bad feeling for him and resentment towards him at the same time.

However, it doesn't matter, only to remain neutral first, so that neither faction will drag him back, and then he can find a way to put on that coat.

As long as they put on a veneer, then these grievances will be transformed into prestige and make them respect themselves more.

And I want to put on a coat...

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju suddenly set his sights on the north, and the whirlpool in the country could not get out if he jumped in, so if he wanted to get the support of both sides at the same time, he also needed to find a target from abroad.

When Zhao Ju set his sights on foreign countries, at this time, Xiong Huai, who was in the palace, also set his sights on him.

"Wait a year or two, pull Wu Bing and Gongsun Hai off the horse, and then replace them with Chu people?"

Xiong Huai looked at the information in his hand, and couldn't help but show a sneer: "Now you can't do it, wait for a while, after Jiangdong is completely stabilized, if you want to extend your tentacles to Jiangdong, it will be even more impossible." ”

Xiong Huai threw aside the rumors that had spread everywhere in Yingdu Zhong today, and then looked out of the hall with a heavy face, and then fell into deep thought.

Although there were no major accidents in today's court meeting, it was also very thrilling.

Zhao Ju is really not comparable to Jing Cui, when Jing Cui was Ling Yin, he basically let him do whatever he wanted. As soon as he took office today, he was given a big problem, and he was directly forced to go down to fight against Zhaoju in person.

Fortunately, Zhao Ju did not embarrass him, forcing him to use the authority of the king of Chu to directly press this matter, but like a Ling Yin, he checked and filled in the gaps for him, the king of Chu, and solved the matter smoothly.

Through today's incident, Xiong Huai has a clearer understanding of Zhaoju.

That is, Zhao Ju is completely different from Jing Cui, and he can't use the same way he treats Jing Cui to deal with Zhao Ju, otherwise, once the monarch loses peace, even if he forcibly deposes Zhao Ju, it will lead to turmoil in the country.

If the country is turbulent, external troubles will follow, which is the most unacceptable for Xiong Huai.

If he can, Xiong Huai also hopes that at this time of internal and external troubles, he will not survive this difficult situation by attributing each other internally and retreating externally.

Rather, it reduces internal attrition by transferring internal contradictions to the outside. And to transfer the contradiction to a foreign country, there is no doubt that Zhaoju, who can fight well and has a great reputation, is the best candidate.

Therefore, the best way is to let Zhaoju stand on his side, as long as the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, then there will be no problem.

If it is like today, he, the king of Chu, has made a mistake, and Zhaoju has made up for the gap, so, perfect.

However, how can Zhaoju always be on his side?

Xiong Huai remembered the bits and pieces with Zhao Ju over the years, and remembered Zhao Ju's purpose, so he couldn't help nodding slightly.

He knew what Zhao Ju wanted, and this, he, the king of Chu, could give, and he could give more than Zhao Ju imagined.

However, what he doesn't want to give, Zhaoju can't interfere, let alone ask for it, otherwise...

After making a decision about Zhaoju, Xiong Huai thought of Jiangdong's affairs again, and couldn't help frowning.

Although Zhaoju had no problem with Jiangdong's handling of Jiangdong in the court meeting, the people recommended by Zhaoju were also not his henchmen of the King of Chu, and he could not strengthen his control over Jiangdong.

Since he wants to mix sand in Jiangdong, how can he be without the king of Chu.

However, he King Chu mixed sand to Jiangdong, but he couldn't just mix sand, but also be able to do practical things, if he couldn't do things, just mixed sand and retreated his legs, it was better not to do it.

Therefore, this person must have a very high prestige, and he must also have a very strong ability, and he must not arouse the disgust and vigilance of the noble and powerful people in Jiangdong when he goes to Jiangdong.

After all, now that the county guards and county guards of the two counties in Jiangdong are all staffed, if they lack prestige, they will not be able to suppress the local officials at all, and if they are not capable, they will not be able to do anything, and if they arouse Jiangdong's disgust, it will only backfire.

Such a person...

Xiong Huai quickly established two goals, one was Gong Yin Jiya, and the other was Zuo Gong Xu Xing.

He is good at fortifications, Xu Xing is good at farming, one is the head of Chu Mo, the other is the head of a farmer's family, and his status and prestige are all enough.

There is an excellent excuse for going to Jiangdong, that is, the flood disaster in Huiji, and let him go to Jiangdong under the banner of solving the flood in Huiji, which will definitely be welcomed by Jiangdong.

And Xu Xing went to Jiangdong...

As the living saint at the head of his farming family, he was popular with the people wherever he went.

Xiong Huai silently compared it in his heart, and then chose Xu Xing.

Because he has already gone to Jiangdong to solve the flood problem, whether he can solve this matter or not, it will cost a lot of money, food and manpower, which is inappropriate.

Xu Xing is different, if he goes to Jiangdong in the name of the head of the peasant family, first, he can control the peasant officials in Jiangdong and meddle in Jiangdong in the name of righteousness, and second, the peasant officials go to Jiangdong, which will not cost much money, but will make money.

Moreover, now Xu Xing is still presiding over the construction of the Jianghan water canal, as long as Xu Xing goes to Jiangdong, this responsibility can be transferred to Ling Yin Zhaoju, so as to buy Zhaoju.

Xiong Huai thought about it, this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people will go down in history, and Zhaoju should not refuse.

However, although this matter is good, how can Xu Xing go to Jiangdong willingly.

You must know that since the beginning of Dayu to the present, Uncle Sun Ao Ximen Leopard, and even Li Bing and Zheng Guo after this, these people who presided over the construction of water conservancy projects have all left their names in history.

Is Xu Xinghui willing to give up the construction of the canal, and how can he let him do it willingly?

What does Xu Xing want most?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai pondered for a long time, and then a flash of inspiration gave him an order: "Come on, bring money to the widow..."
