King Chu's inquiry was exactly what he was worried about.

It was not that he was worried about the question asked by the King of Chu, but that he was worried about the purpose of his trip, whether he could successfully defeat the arm of Zhu Liji, and, further, gain the support of the State of Chu.

Since Qin Wangdang ascended the throne, as Qin Wangdang's uncle, he often went in and out of the palace, not only close to Qin Wangdang, but also had a good relationship with Gongzi Ji and others.

As a result, Wei Ran and other Chu people who surrounded Gongziji fell to Zhu Li Ji one after another, and they were close to Zhu Li Ji.

In this way, with the support of the Qin clan and the support of the Chu lineage, there is the capital to compete with Zhang Yi.

After Zhang Yi's death, the power of the disease swelled instantly, and its strength was so great that Qin Wangdang felt that it was difficult to suppress.

Especially after he Gan Mao and Wei Zhang were successively expelled from the court and went to Shangjun and Hexi, Qin Wangdang felt restricted everywhere in the court, which was much more uncomfortable than when Zhang Yi was alive.

So, when King Zhao sent someone to Xianyang to invite Qin Wangdang to Fushi City for a while, Qin Wangdang was happy.

What's even more unexpected is that King Zhao even offered to return the city of Shangjun, but the price was just to let Qin withdraw its troops from Shangjun and ask Qin and Zhao to make peace.

This incident made Qin Wang Dang overjoyed, and agreed on the spot.

Subsequently, after the Qin army received the city returned by the Zhao state, the king of Qin immediately urged him to lead the army back to Xianyang.

Originally, Qin Wangdang's plan to abolish Xiangguo was also mentioned to him, and Gan Mao also advised Qin Wangdang.

Not because Qin Wangdang couldn't control the situation, but because Gan Mao wasn't ready.

As a result, Qin Wangdang did not listen to Gan Mao, and on the day the army arrived in Xianyang, he invited his ministers to the palace in the name of celebration.

Then, he quickly cut through the chaos, announced the abolition of the Xiangguo, and set up the left and right prime ministers, intending to divide the power of the Xiangguo.

As a result, Qin Wangdang succeeded, and many messes were broken, such as one of the coarsest messes: Wei Zhang.

Not only Wei Zhang, but also Zhu Lijian and Gan Mao, almost broke off.

Until now, Gan Mao still remembered the face of Qin Wangdang when he heard the news from Qin Wangdang, shame, anger, grief and anger, and so on, and his face changed frequently and colorful for a while.

At the same time, Gan Mao, the winner on the bright side, is also very uncomfortable.

He really wasn't ready!

Although he is the prime minister and has the trust and support of the King of Qin, he has no one in his hands, and he is also controlled everywhere in the court.

For example, after he became ill, he hid behind the scenes, and then pushed his henchman Gongsun Zheng out to fight Gan Mao.

And Gongsun Zheng relied on the support of Youli Li's illness to oppose him everywhere, which led to all his decrees being extremely difficult to implement.

Many things that could have been explained clearly in one or two sentences, under the repeated entanglement of Gongsun Zheng and others, had to be argued for two or three days.

On the other hand, although Qin Wangdang trusts him very much, he is not absolute, unlike Qin Xiaogong to Shang Ying, or Qin Huiwen to Zhang Yi, who gives absolute support.

In the face of the disease, either because of the situation and in order to stabilize the internal situation of the Qin State and avoid the further deterioration of the political situation of the Qin State, or in order to prevent him Gan Mao from becoming the next Zhang Yi and the Zhu Li Disease, he has never deposed the Zhu Li Disease.

As a result, Gan Mao was struggling in the Qin State.

In order to reverse the situation of being controlled everywhere in the Qin dynasty, Gan Mao made two decisions, one was to ask Qin Wangdang for his own life, go to attack Wei, and win over the important generals in the court with a great victory over Wei.

The second is to go to the state of Chu and cut off the support of the Chu state in Qin.

Gan Mao knew that most of the pro-Chu faction of the Qin State were from noble backgrounds, and he was born in the cold family of the Chu State. It was difficult for him to gain the support of Wei Ran, Xiang Shou and others, but if Wei Ran and the other Chu people remained neutral, there was a lot of hope.

So, Gan Mao came to the state of Chu, not only did he come, but also brought Qin Wangdang's close confidant Xiang Shou.

The purpose is to divide the relationship between the disease and the pro-Chu faction.

Of course, it would be better if it could get the support of the Chu State.

Therefore, when the king of Chu asked about a lot.

However, between the lightning and sparks, Gan Mao controlled his thoughts and slowly bowed to the king of Chu and said, "The prime minister of our country, thank you for your condolences." ”

Then, Gan Mao straightened up, raised his head, looked in the direction of the King of Chu, and said: "However, please don't worry, although the right prime minister of our country cannot be on the council, the relationship between Qin and Chu will not change because of this, and in the future, it will continue to be good." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at Gan Mao's gaze, was silent for a long time, and then grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "In this way, the widow will rest assured, and please also rest assured Gan Qing, in the future, the friendly relations between Qin and Chu will continue." ”

When Gan Mao heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and solemnly bowed and said, "Minister, King Xie!" ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and in three or two sentences, an agreement that could not be announced had reached a preliminary consensus.

After Gan Mao got up, he spoke again: "The king, the widow has another purpose for letting his ministers envoy to your country, that is, I hope that the king will help our country to force Wei to hand over Wei Zhang. If the king helps, we can successfully catch Wei Zhang, whether dead or alive, we are willing to give a thousand gold as a thank you gift, in addition, outside the martial arts, we are willing to take out the three counties, thinking that the king is shou. ”

"Is that true?" Xiong Huai was stunned, surprised by Qin Wangdang's generosity.

Gan Mao nodded solemnly and said, "The king is in front, and the ministers don't dare to joke." ”

Xiong Huai immediately responded: "Okay, at this time, the widow agreed, and soon after, the widow will explain to Han and Song." When various countries send troops to attack Wei, they will add a goal, that is, to force Wei to hand over the villain Wei Zhang. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai solemnly promised: "If you don't achieve your goal, you will not give up." ”

"King Xie."

······

Three days later, after Gan Mao and Xiang Shou got what they wanted, they left their daughter, left Yingdu with the promise of Chu, and set off to return to Qin.

Not long after the Qin envoy left, a huge caravan appeared again in the north of Yingdu.

Soon after.

Jing Li came to the Chu Palace and reported to Xiong Huai: "The king, Gongzi An, the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, is secretly visiting. ”

"Huh? Why did this son An come to Chu secretly, what is the so-called matter? Xiong Huai looked at Jing Carp in surprise.

Last time, Qu Yong, the envoy of Yan State, also visited Chu State secretly, and now Gongzi An is secretly visiting again, isn't it that the envoy of Yan State is unsightly when he comes to Chu State?

Jing Li explained: "The king, today's prince An came to ask to see Yu Chen as a businessman and through the relationship of the Ejun. As for the reason why Gongzi An came to Chu secretly, it was because this time Gongzi An brought a large number of cows, horses, and sheep skins, as well as tendons and horns of various livestock, saying that he wanted to sacrifice these things to the king. ”
