A few days later, Chunshenjun's mansion.

Huang Xie sat in the study, not in a very good mood.

In the past year, although Huang Xie once again gained a foothold by leading the attack on Handan, he was also under pressure because of another defeat of Chu against Qin on the Western Front.

In general, the situation of this Chu State Ling Yin is not much better than a year ago.

As the top families in the Chu State, the three major families of Zhao, Jing, and Qu can be said to have never relaxed at all about Huang Xie's hind actions, and it can be said that they are trying their best to pull Huang Xie down from this position of Ling Yin.

Perhaps it is precisely because of his exhaustion that Huang Xie's head is basically white now, and there are few black hairs in sight.

Huang Xie sat in the study, and sighed to Li Yuanchang, who was both a confidant and a close friend in front of him: "I hate that I can't slaughter the people of the three families of Zhaojingqu!" ”

Li Yuan was taken aback by Huang Xie's words, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, be cautious." ”

Huang Xie sneered and said, "Now the three families of Zhaojingqu can't wait for me to die on the street immediately, and everyone in the country knows about it. If that's the case, then why should I hide it? ”

Li Yuan shook his head and persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, after all, the three Zhaojingqu families have been operating in the country for hundreds of years, even if the monarch is talented, but he has only been in Ling Yin for a few years, how can he fight against him?" And in the opinion of the minister, the king actually doesn't have to fight against these three families at all. ”

Huang Xie paused for a moment and said, "Why?" ”

Li Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you forgotten that whether you can overthrow the monarch is actually not something that the three Zhaojingqu families can decide. The real decision-maker is the king of Chu now! ”

Huang Xie snorted sullenly and said, "Of course I know that the king is the most critical person, but the problem is that the king has been slandered by the people of the three families now, and he has long been alienated from me. ”

Li Yuan smiled: "That's right, at a cursory glance, this is indeed the case, but the king actually has a chance to turn the tables, doesn't he?" As long as the king can make credit to the Chu State, then the king will naturally reverse his impression of the king and throw aside the slander of the three families of Zhaojingqu. ”

After a pause, Li Yuan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "And the king has forgotten that there is still Mrs. Li in the palace who can speak well for the king." ”

Mrs. Li, the most favored wife of Chu Wangyuan, gave birth to Lin'er to Chu Wangyuan, and her status in the current harem of Chu is second only to the queen.

For some reason, after Huang Xie heard Mrs. Li's name, the expression on his face suddenly became very strange.

After a long time, Huang Xie said: "Mrs. Li spoke well for me in front of the king, I naturally know, but that matter ......."

Li Yuan hurriedly made a silent gesture and said softly: "Your Majesty, you must guard against the ears of the partition wall!" ”

Strange to say, Huang Xie, who was not afraid of the eavesdropping of the three families of Zhaojingqu just now, closed his mouth very obediently this time, and said after a while: "Then what is your reversal strategy?" ”

Li Yuan thought about it, a hesitant look appeared on his face, and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Huang Xie immediately urged: "Hurry up." ”

Li Yuan let out a sigh of relief, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and said softly to Huang Xie: "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why the minister is here today is that there is something to tell your lord. ”

Huang Xie said: "What's the matter? ”

Li Yuan lowered his voice again and said softly: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, there was a person named Lu Buwei, who claimed to be the history of Qin's country, and secretly came to visit our country as the envoy of the King of Qin. ”

"What?" Huang Xie's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly glanced at Li Yuan with some suspicion, and said, "Why did the envoy of the Qin State find you, could it be that you and the people of the Qin State have colluded?" ”

At this moment, Huang Xie's eyes flashed with a killing intent very clearly.

Li Yuan saw this murderous machine in his eyes, and his heart was secretly awe-inspiring, and he immediately called Qu Lai: "The king has misunderstood, the reason why this envoy of the Qin State is looking for the minister is precisely because he hopes to ask to see the king through the minister." ”

Huang Xie's face relaxed slightly, and said, "This envoy of the Qin State came here, could it be that he wants to form an alliance with Great Chu?" ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Huang Xie let out a sneer: "This King Qin is inevitably too whimsical!" Is there still a possibility of an alliance between Qin and Chu now? ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Qin State said that as long as the Great Chu is willing to form an alliance with the Qin State, then the Qin State is willing to return all the territories south of Wuguan to the Great Chu!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Xie's face immediately moved slightly, but he immediately shook his head again and said, "This Qin country has always been untrustworthy...... How do you know that it's not an excuse to deceive Da Chu? ”

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister thinks ...... There is a high probability that the words of the envoy of the Qin State are true. ”

"Oh?" Huang Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?" ”

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the Qin State dared to deceive Da Chu in the past was why not? It's nothing more than that the Qin State is already strong enough, even if it fights with Great Chu, it is fearless. But now that the Qin State is in decline, if you dare to deceive Great Chu, then Great Chu only needs to unite Zhao and Han to attack Qin, and Qin will undoubtedly be defeated. In this way, how could the Qin State dare to deceive Great Chu? ”

Huang Xie touched his beard, thought for a long time, and then nodded slowly: "That's the same reason." But you also know that if I propose an alliance with the Qin State now, then the three Zhaojingqu families will be the first to jump out and oppose me, how should this be? And even if there are no Zhaojingqu three families, there must be many people who oppose the Qin-Chu alliance among Great Chu. ”

Li Yuan pressed his temper and persuaded: "Your Excellency might as well think about it, even if there is no such thing, will the three Zhaojingqu families not oppose the monarch?" What the king needs to worry about now is not the opposition of the three Zhaojingqu families, but that he must make some achievements as soon as possible to get the approval of the king! ”

Huang Xie was still a little hesitant: "Even if you want to make a meritorious deed, you don't necessarily have to go against Zhao Guo?" It must be known that Zhao is an ally of Great Chu, and now Zhao Guo's soldiers are strong, and there is no one in the world. ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency's words are also fallacious. The minister dared to ask the king, if he didn't attack the Zhao country, then how could the king make contributions? Han and Wei are now allies of Zhao, Qin has Wu'an Jun Baiqi, and Qi has defeated him. For today's plan, the king can only have a glimmer of life if he attacks Zhao Fang in Qin, otherwise he can only sit and wait for the three Zhaojingqu families to press forward step by step, and finally kill the king! ”

Li Yuan's remarks were extremely sincere and reasonable, and finally moved Huang Xie.

This Chun Shenjun gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, then you will bring this envoy of the Qin State in." I will talk to him first, and when I have a chance in two days, I will take him into the palace secretly to meet the king!" ”
