"Secondly, the person in charge of this change cannot be a resistor of the previous change, otherwise after this change, the next change of the law of Chu is very likely to be resisted by this change. In this way, not only will the king lose a supporter, but the ministers will also add a highly prestigious opponent who will gather around him and become a big obstacle to the promotion of the reform. ”

"Third, this person not only needs to remain neutral in the last change, but also needs to be weak among the ministers, so that he can pass this change and make him a supporter of the king's future changes."

After listening to Qu Yuan's suggestion, Xiong Huai carefully recalled the ministers in the court, as if there was no such person.

"Xianqing, among the ministers of our Chu State, can we still find such a person who meets these three requirements at the same time?"

Qu Yuan's face did not change and said: "Back to the king, no." ”

“···” Xiong Huai was stunned, I don't know why.

Qu Yuan's request to the person in charge of the law change turned out to be unable to find a suitable person among the ministers of the Chu State.

Xiong Huai thought for a while and said to Qu Yuan: "Since Xianqing proposed three selection rules, please elaborate on them." ”

"My lord, according to the first requirement, there are only a few people among the ministers who can preside over the change of the law. The person with the highest prestige status is undoubtedly Ling Yin Zhaoyang. It's just that Zhaoyang, as Ling Yin, is not only the pillar of the Chu State, but also the reassuring needle of the ministers, and the leader of the Zhao clan, so he is only watching the change from the sidelines, and has never come forward to oppose it. ”

"What's more important is that Ling Yin Zhaoyang is now old, no matter how the king is involved, Ling Yin will not clearly support the change, so as not to lose the delay."

After listening to Qu Yuan's analysis of Zhaoyang, Xiong Huai compared it with the Zhaoyang in his memory, and what he said was basically the same.

Since the end of the Five Kingdoms' invasion of Qin, Ling Yin Zhaoyang has never left Yingdu, and his physical condition is also good and bad, and he rarely comes forward to preside over political affairs.

Except for the major events in the Chu State, or the monthly court meeting, he basically no longer leaves his home and is in a state of waiting for death at home.

When Qu Yuan changed the law a few years ago, Yin Zhaoyang's attitude towards the change was that he did not oppose it, but although he never supported it on the surface, he never came forward to obstruct Qu Yuan's change.

Otherwise, with Zhaoyang's status and ability, if he clearly expressed his opposition to the law change, unless he was driven out of Ling Yin's position, the law change would not be carried out.

"Among the rest of the people, the one with this prestige and status is Sima Jing Lizhu Guojing Cui Gong Yin Zhaoju. However, the first two had already made it clear that they were against the change, so they were excluded. As for Gong Yin Zhaoju..."

Qu Yuan said that he stopped here, remembering the incident when Zhao Ju came forward to relieve the siege a few days ago.

Xiong Huai stopped after hearing Qu Yuan mention Zhaoju, and said thoughtfully: "Xianqing, Gongyin Zhaoju is very talented, but he has never supported the attitude towards changing the law. ”

Qu Yuan nodded and said: "What the king said is very true, Gong Yin Zhaoju treats the law change, and there is a great difference between Ling Yin Zhaoyang. ”

Qu Yuan knew this very well, and when he changed the law in the past, although Zhao Ju did not explicitly oppose it, he secretly came up with the idea to obstruct the change, but he did not do less.

Qu Yuan continued: "Great King, in the past, Zhaoju did not support changing the law, but now the situation has changed again. ”

Xiong Huai recalled it in the memory of his predecessor, but he couldn't find what the change Qu Yuan was talking about, so he couldn't help asking: "Xianqing, what has changed now?" ”

Qu Yuan said: "The king doesn't know, the situation appeared two years ago, and it was an internal dispute of the Zhao clan. ”

"Internal strife?"

"The king is exactly like this, Gong Yin Zhaoju, born in the Zhao clan of the Gong family, with outstanding ability, is a masterpiece of the moment. The appearance of such a person in the major families is a blessing for the family. But for Zhao Ju, there was a very unfortunate thing for him, the Zhao clan now has another person, this person is Zhao Slip who went to Handan with the king and joined the Zhao King Wei Wang. ”

For Zhao Hua, Xiong Huai has an impression.

In the four kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Wei and Han in Zhaohua for several years, he showed his talents in Chu because of his meritorious service in rescuing Lu Di.

Last year, the predecessor took Zhao Slip and made an alliance with King Wei of Zhao, Zhao Slip performed extremely well, and his ability was quite outstanding, and before the predecessor came back, he left Zhao Slip in the north, on the one hand, to maintain the relationship between Chu and Zhao Wei, and on the other hand, to express the attitude of Chu to Qi State.

It can be said that if it weren't for Zhao Hua's diplomatic actions in Zhao Wei, when the five states of Qin Yan, Zhao Wei and Han formed an alliance, Qin put forward the proposal to attack Chu first, which was approved by Zhao and Wei.

It is precisely because Zhaohua's activities in the north are extremely brilliant that when Zhaoyang proposed to let Zhaohua go to Yueguo, Xiong Huai directly agreed.

Although the predecessor knew that Zhao Hua was also a very talented person, he didn't know what the conflict between Zhao Ju and Zhao Hua was, which actually caused internal disputes among the Zhao clan.

Xiong Huai was not calm about this kind of unknown things happening around him, and while despising his predecessor, he secretly warned that maybe he needed a Jinyi Guard organization around him, not to mention the intelligence of other countries, at least he couldn't be ignorant of the inside of Chu State.

Xiong Huai first put aside the matter of the secret agent organization and asked about the Zhao family: "Xianqing, what contradiction has occurred between Zhaoju and Zhaohua?" ”

"The king, the contradiction between Zhao Ju and Zhao Slip lies in the question of who will lead the Zhao clan and become the leader of the Zhao clan after Zhaoyang. Among them, Zhao Ju has been emerging for many years, and his ability has been recognized by many Zhao clansmen, and Zhao Ju has not been in charge for a long time, although he is talented, there are still many people from the Zhao clan who are waiting. ”

However, because of the close relationship between Zhao Slip and Ling Yin Zhaoyang, most of the Zhao clan people, led by Ling Yin Zhaoyang's old Zhao Yu, have already expressed their support for Zhao Slip. Now the Zhao clan has been divided into two factions, and some of the younger and lower-status people support Zhao Ju. And those who are older, have a higher status, and are close to Zhaoyang, support Zhaoyang. ”

Therefore, Zhao Ju had a very bad relationship with Ling Yin Zhaoyang on the issue of competing with Zhao Hua for the head of the Zhao clan, and had a rift with most of the other Zhao clansmen, except for those who supported him, he was isolated by other Zhao clansmen. Because of Yin Zhaoyang, many important ministers in the court also began to isolate Zhaoju. ”

"So, the king, at present, Gong Yin Zhaoyang is in a state of isolation and helplessness, as long as the king lends a hand, Zhaoju can become a member of the law change."

"Gong Yin Zhaoju has both civil and military skills, once it is used by the king, then it will inevitably become a great help in changing the law."
