Chapter 896: An Unclear Future

That night, General Zhaoying came to Zhaoju's mansion.

"Has the news gotten out?"

"Please rest assured that after the next dynasty, we should immediately arrange for people to spread the news."

"Good!" Zhao Ju nodded slightly, and then asked expressionlessly, "What is the reaction of those ministers in Yingdu?" ”

"Back to Ling Yin, after the next dynasty, those ministers in the court originally had a lot of complaints about Ling Yin's recommendation of Jiangdong people to serve as the county guard. However, when the news of Ying Xing spread, saying that using Jiangdong people as county guards was just an expedient measure, it was to stabilize Jiangdong, and it would not take long, and when the Jiangdong people got used to the county guard system, they would definitely be removed and replaced by our Chu people.

Since then, some ministers have changed their tunes and praised Ling Yin for serving the country wholeheartedly. ”

Zhao Ju smiled coldly when he heard this: "Having said that, they should still be complaining in their hearts that Ben Ling Yin did not recommend the Chu people to Jiangdong this time." ”

Zhao Ying smiled: "Ling Yin's eyes are like torches." ”

"Forget it, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, this matter has passed." Zhao Ju shook his head, then looked at Zhao Ying and said, "This time, the general was promoted to Chen Dishou, and I don't know when he left Yingdu." ”

"Tomorrow." Zhao Ying responded softly.

"Tomorrow?" Zhao Ju frowned.

"Ling Yin, Ying was supposed to take office immediately in Chendi, because he had to attend the queen's funeral, so he returned to Yingdu to accept the appointment. Chen Di's Wei army had only left for a short time, and there were many things to deal with, so he should not stay in Yingdu for a long time. ”

Zhao Ju nodded, if it weren't for this state funeral, Zhao Ying, who was working in the public office in the field, would not be able to return to Yingdu.

At this time, Zhao Ying saw that Zhao Ju just nodded, but did not say much, so he arched his hand and asked: "Ling Yin, should I go to Chen Di this time, I don't know if Ling Yin has any instructions?" ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he wanted to shake his head, but at this time, he suddenly remembered what happened in Huaiyin, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "The general guarded Chen Di for several years before, and when the Wei State attacked this time, he successfully contained Chen Cheng and repelled the Wei army. But! ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju said with a cautious face: "However, this Ling Yin still has one more thing to tell you, my Chu State Navy Division is invincible in the world, especially after the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, there is no opponent." Ju's advice to the general was that although the Yue Kingdom was destroyed and the naval division was no longer of great use at present, the general must not ignore the naval division.

Chen Di is located in the upper reaches of the Huaishui, and there is a gap between the river and the Huaishui under his rule, and the role of the water division is not trivial, and the general should pay attention. ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, he was slightly stunned.

Of course, he knew that the waterways were crisscrossed, and many places needed boats.

However, the Wei State, which posed the greatest threat to Chen Di, did not have a water division. And the sailor's northern expedition to Wei had to go north through the chasm, which also had little effect.

And to transport troops and food, ordinary civilian ships are enough...

Suddenly, Zhao Ying remembered the expedition of the sailor to Qi not long ago, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then looked at Zhao Ju in surprise: "Ling Yin is saying..."

"Who knows!" Seeing that Zhao Ying reacted, Zhao Ju smiled, and then said: "General, it's late at night, and the general has to hurry tomorrow, so Ju won't leave the general." ”

Zhao Ying nodded knowingly when he heard this, and then took his leave and left.

After Zhao Ying left, it wasn't until his back disappeared into the night that Zhao Ju let out a long sigh.

Tired! The heart is tired!

Before he did Ling Yin, he really didn't know Ling Yin's difficulties, but now, when he really sat in Ling Yin's position, he felt Ling Yin's difficulties.

Before, when he hadn't done Ling Yin, he only needed to figure out the mind of King Chu, and then on this basis, he could do what was most beneficial to himself.

However, after becoming Ling Yin, he could no longer do this.

Not only did his relationship with the king of Chu change greatly, but his relationship with other ministers also changed fundamentally.

Now he has to take into account not only his own interests, but also the interests of others, even those whom he previously did not like.

It is true that as Ling Yin, he does not need to beg everyone, and even others need to beg him to cling to him.

It is not impossible for the party to fight against differences, think about itself everywhere, wantonly hit the people he is dissatisfied with, and be a light-hearted and happy Ling Yin.

However, this kind of Zhao Xixian, who was caricatured as a fox and a fake tiger by his ancestors, held great power, excluded dissidents, and plunged the Chu State into internal strife, so that he delayed state affairs and became an ordinary Ling Yin, which was not what he wanted.

Moreover, the current King of Chu has been fighting with the ministers of the country for decades, from losing more and winning less to being bloodied once by the Jianghan Fengjun, so gloomy and ruthless King Chu is not so easy to fool.

If he dared to fool the King of Chu, he was sure that he would be deposed by the King of Chu in a short time.

What's more, he knew very well in his heart that the King of Chu's love for Qu Yuan far exceeded him, and Qu Yuan's ability was not bad.

However, if he wants to be a famous face like Taigong Yin Yi, Zhao Ju feels that he has no chance, and it is even difficult to be a famous face like Sun Shuao.

The reason why he is embarrassed is not because he lacks intelligence, but because he is very embarrassed by the current situation of Chu State and the current situation of internal and external troubles.

Since the failure of Qu Yuan's reform more than ten years ago, the King of Chu not only did not dispel his determination to change the law, but worked hard for more than ten years, and the reform faction led by Qu Yuan made a comeback again.

This time is different from last time, last time it was a small fight, this time, the law change is step by step, step by step, until now, the law change faction has mastered the power of the three counties of Hanbei and the two counties of Jiangdong.

In addition, the reform in Koto has been in full swing, and it has caused panic among many people.

However, although the reformers were strong, the nobles who opposed the reform were even stronger. It was only because the king of Chu had not officially ordered the implementation of the law change throughout the country that the two sides barely exercised restraint.

Once the king of Chu gives the order and promotes the change of the law, who will kill the deer and who will occupy the final victory?

Is there a law-changer supported by the king of Chu, or a nobleman in the country?

I don't know!

At this time, Zhao Ju's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he couldn't see clearly or understand who would win the final victory in the future.

Because of this, he did not express his position for a long time, and did not dare to easily stand in line and bet, lest he lose nothing.

You must know that the attack and killing within the Chu State is extremely serious, as long as an excuse is found, without the order of the King of Chu, those ministers will lead their troops to destroy the people.

The last time Wu Qi changed the law, the nobles of Chu were first killed by the living Wu Qi, and then by the dead Wu Qi, a large number of them were killed.

Unfortunately, however, when he sat on Ling Yin, that era was about to come.
