Chapter Twenty-Four: Envoy to Qin
When Xuan Ying was preparing to send an envoy to the Qin State, Chun Shenjun of the Chu Palace also walked into the mourning hall!
The mourning hall of the king of Chu is located in the palace temple of the king of Chu, because it is temporarily placed, separated by a thorn gate around it, and the white curtains inside are like heaven and earth.
Chunshen-kun and the guards passed through the heavy white gate like ghosts, unaware that they were already in danger.
Li Yuan bowed his belt in front of him while explaining his arrangement. The etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty was cumbersome and complicated, and Li Yuan did not put much effort into it, and his humble demeanor made Chun Shenjun extremely satisfied.
Before they knew it, the two walked to the coffin, the coffin had not yet been covered, and the coffin would not be covered until the royal queen and the prince had seen the last face. Chun Shenjun looked at King Xiong Wan of Chu with mixed feelings. The two have gone through 25 years together, from intimacy to parting ways, and there are public and private grievances that have long been inexplicable. Now I finally don't have to face the complaints of the King of Chu anymore! From now on, there will be no constraints, and the state of Chu will eventually usher in a new atmosphere. Chun Shenjun was full of ambition and muttered: "Let's go!" β
"Incense!"
Li Yuan shouted at the top of his voice, Chun Shenjun stepped back, said goodbye, got up, and saluted incense!
At the same time, the white curtain set off a wave like a calm water surface, and the cold knife light flashed in the waves, the white curtain shattered like a butterfly, and a group of white-clothed assassins rushed towards Chun Shenjun!
"There are assassins!"
Chun Shenjun's guards shouted, and the guards behind him drew their swords one after another, reflexively supporting Chun Shenjun. Chun Shenjun was shocked, but he didn't have time to think about who was making a move and shouted: "Kill out!" β
"Now that you're in the urn, don't even think about escaping! Round them up! β
Li Yuan shouted, and the assassins stepped forward one after another. The curtains fell to the ground, and were replaced by a row of shields. Behind the shield, crossbow arrows are pointed at each other!
"Put!"
The rain of arrows was raging, and Chun Shenjun's guards were hit by arrows one after another. Only a few escaped with swords and slashes, and the assassins were deceived and killed. The rest of the people resisted as they retreated, but they retreated less and less. Chun Shenjun retreated, and suddenly knocked on his back, and he had already retreated to the coffin of the King of Chu, and there was no way to retreat! In front of him, all the Assassins were killed. Chun Shenjun looked at it, and suddenly calmed down and looked at Li Yuandao: "It's you!" β
"It's me!"
Chun Shenjun laughed self-deprecatingly and sighed: "I'm already cautious, but I didn't expect to underestimate the world!" I still thought that I could finally show my strength, but I didn't expect to be plotted by you, and I regretted not listening."
Qiang Qin started in Xitui, when King Zhou You, Rong Di invaded every year, and the beacon fire was raised again and again. The princes have been working hard for many years, which has led to the withering of the people's livelihood and the fatigue of the soldiers, and later the princes no longer pay attention to the king of You, the king of Qin. Even so, the Zhou family's resistance to Rong Di was also defeated and won, until the king of Zhou You abolished Shen Hou and established Bao Xi as the queen to cause Xiao Wall, and Shen Guo united with the dog Rong to drive Zhou Zong directly to cause the society to be destroyed.
Therefore, later generations believe that Bao Xi is the culprit of the decline of the Zhou family, and Wei Zhe's statement is actually wrong!
The Zhou family declined, first the princes of the Republic of China and the government, and then the Shen State used the name of relatives to interfere in the government, if the king of You wants to revive the Zhou family, he must go to the relatives to weaken the princes. After the abolition of Shen, the establishment of praise is a measure to weaken the Shen State, and he does not want the Shen State to see through the purpose of the Youwang, and the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry to lead the dog into Beijing.
The culprit is the ambition, selfishness, and greed of the princes of the world! Including later, Han Wei and Zhao Sanfen Jin Guo are not out of their own ambitions, selfishness, and greed!
Compared with these princes, the Qin State received the will of King Zhou Ping to eliminate the dog Rong entrenched in the hometown of Zhou Zong and live in its own place.
Later generations came to Qin Xiaogong to practice the strategy of the martingale, changed the law and became the strongest Warring States in the world, and after several generations of accumulation, there was already a heritage of annexing the Six Kingdoms.
Stop and go on the Guanying Road, stuck in time to rush to the Qin State. Inspect the people's sentiments all the way and think about the future.
The state of Qin and the state of Chu are different.
In the state of Chu, it is still dominated by clan divisions. Although it seems to be a country, in fact, each is built around its own feudal state, which makes all parts of the Chu State form one circle after another, and these circles have long been the private domains of the nobles from generation to generation, dividing the Chu State into fragments, so that it is difficult to unify the government decrees.
The state of Qin was different. The county system of the Qin State was established, although there were many wealthy families, but it was also set up in accordance with the law, and the titles were determined by the titles, and the titles were determined by merit, and it was difficult for the hundred officials to unify themselves from the dictatorship.
"I can't care if Master Xun traveled to Qin back then, and he is full of praise for the politics of Qin State!"
Looking at the endless wilderness by the Weishui, she couldn't help but sigh!
The deputy envoy nodded gloomily in agreement: "Yes! If it weren't for this, how could the six countries not dare to look west! β
Su Ying sighed and said regretfully: "This is all the work of the merchant back then, and since the Warring States period, he has not changed the law and become a strong country. Zhao State Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu Cavalry Shooting, Wei State Li Kui changed the law... It's a pity that my Chu State finally failed to change the law in the past, otherwise my Chu State is vast and densely populated, and the success of the law change will inevitably go to a higher level, and how can I be afraid of the Qin State!
This is also the reason why I want to be a guest of Chunshenjun, the four gentlemen of the Warring States, Meng Weijun of Qi State, Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, and Xinling Jun of Wei State are all royal family, only I Chu State Chunshenjun was born as a prince, and I am also the only important minister in my Chu State who is willing to change the law and try to be strong. It's a pity that the king has long been estranged from the king and refuses to listen to the king's words and change the law, otherwise my Chu country would not be like this now!
As far as the advent of the calamity star is concerned, if it is placed in the clan to seal the country, who will care about the life and death of the untouchables! Only Chun Shenjun will find a way to relieve the disaster. If it weren't for the fact that the Chu State clan was still powerful, why bother beating around the bush like this, and only by building Yingdu could the disaster victims gather and pull out a little food from the clan's mouth!
You should know what it's like to walk the folk! If the common people have food, why should they travel thousands of miles to Yingdu to serve! If the clan can open a warehouse to release grain, where will there be so many white bones in the wilderness!
Now the king of Chu is newly mourned,"
Su Ying didn't know that Liu Xuan had entered the palace with Poria Cocos, so she didn't know that Liu Xuan had already deduced from the clues that the death of the King of Chu was caused by Chun Shenjun!
On that day, Poria cocos rescued the King of Chu but used his housekeeping skills, and it stands to reason that the King of Chu should wake up! However, the truth is quite the opposite. Li Yuan was deceived by Poria and could be ruled out, and only Queen Li Huan and Chun Shenjun had a chance to kill the King of Chu.
Li Huan is Li Yuan's sister, there is no need to do anything more, there is only one possibility left!
The one who killed the king of Chu was Yin Chunshenjun, the order of the dynasty!
After the death of the king of Chu, Chun Shenjun put the blame on Poria Cocos, and Li Yuan also thought that Poria was killed, so Poria became the best choice to take the blame.
There is another detail in it, which made Liu Xuan discover something more secret!
Since the death of the king of Chu was a ghost of Chun Shenjun, why did Queen Li Huan not move?
You must know that Li Yuan wanted to kill Chun Shenjun in his dreams, if he knew that it was Chun Shenjun who killed the King of Chu, as long as the body of the King of Chu was still there, he would be able to find out the real reason for the death of the King of Chu through inspection. In this way, Li Yuan had every reason to contact the clan to take down Chunshenjun.
But he didn't!
One has to wonder what is hidden in this!
On the way to the Qin State, Liu Xuan asked Su Ying a lot of things under the pretext of being familiar with the court of the Chu State. From these things, Liu Xuan knew that Li Yuan was a guest of Chun Shenjun, and he also knew that Li Yuan came to Chu State to let his sister enter the palace as a poster.
If it were someone else, it might not be able to think of anything! But how could it be that one of the anomalies could not be found? seed
For example, why was the king of Chu able to give birth to a child in the Qin State, but not in the Chu State!
For example, why can't others conceive children, Li Huan became pregnant as soon as he entered the palace!
Linking all the anomalies, Liu Xuan quickly came to a shocking conclusion - the current crown prince of Chu State is the son of Chun Shenjun!
Li Huan put on a green hat for King Xiong of Chu! The king of Chu is also happily raising children for others!
And Chun Shenjun is the old king next door to the palace of King Chu!
If the Confucian dynasty flourished, this is a rebellious minister and thief! But now it is still the Warring States Confucianism, which has not yet become the sole respect. The judging criteria of the scholars also followed their own academic schools. In the eyes of the ink man, whoever is good to the people is right!
It is precisely because of this that Liu Xuan recognized Su Ying. This is a common concept in later generations, and it seems incompatible with princes since ancient times.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the unification of the Qin State is the trend of the times, and Li Si entered Qin for advancement because of this.
But Liu Xuan didn't think so!
The state of Qin is untenable, although it is said to be related to the violent death of Qin Shi Huang, but in fact, it stems from the policy of governing the state of Qin, and from the self-aggrandizement of the first emperor after his success!
As long as the reunification is still completed by him, even if Liu Xuan breaks hard, it is difficult to say that history will change!
Rather than this, it is better to develop directly in Chudi, if the change is successful, Qiang Qin may not be the final winner!
This requires the power of Chun Shenjun to complete the mission with peace of mind.
As for the future, if there is a need to take down Chun Shenjun in the future, then the king of Chu is either the son of King Chu Kaolie or his biggest weakness! Now Liu Xuan has the same goal as Chun Shenjun for the time being, and he is not stupid enough to raise the bar with Xuan Ying. Respectfully: "That's nature. The great monarch is majestic and has the ambition of Zhou Zhao, and we should work together to wipe out the decadent atmosphere of the Chu State. β
As he spoke, Qin Guo was already in sight.
As envoys to clear the customs, Liu Xuan and Yingying were not troubled, and now is the period of Qin and Chu friendship, and there are even Qin people who come to ask and talk to see if there is anything that can be communicated.
If it is an ordinary season, it is not difficult for the envoy to carry a little goods to make some extra money, but this time the funeral is in a hurry, how can there be time to prepare to carry private goods. Su Ying talked a few words and decided everyone's good intentions.
In half a month, Liu Xuanying appeared on the bank of the Weishui River, the capital of the Qin State was in the distance, and a majestic city was crawling in front of it like a giant beast under the sunset, opening its mouth to the six countries!
After the inquest officer, Liu Xuan and Su Ying lived in the pavilion. After settling down, it was already night, Liu Xuan soaked in hot water in a wooden barrel for a while, and was about to sleep. Liu Xuan was full of curiosity, thinking about taking a good rest and then taking a good walk in Xianyang City, seeing the demeanor of the world's first city at this time, and seeing what was different from the later generations.
Before he could sleep, he came.
"Do you want to have a good walk in Xianyang when you rest so early?"
Someone said a word, Liu Xuan nodded and admitted: "I have never been far away in Lanling, and the first time I came to Xianyang was to see it." β
Su Ying smiled: "Human nature, the first time I came to Xianyang, I was excited and sleepless all night. The next day, he ran to the street to look around, and was arrested by the Xianyang city guards as a spy. If it weren't for the envoys at that time to come forward to protect people, it is estimated that they would have been sent to the prison camp as coolies.
Xianyang doesn't have to be in Yingdu, everything has a law here. Even if you can't even talk nonsense, if someone with a heart hears it and reports it to the official, maybe you will be detained for a certain slander and sent to the torture camp to work hard.
There's no rush in this matter, I'll talk about it when we're done with business, and I'll tell you slowly what we need to pay attention to! β
Liu Xuan didn't do it, he wanted to ask, "Is it so urgent to ask to see King Qin as soon as you come?" β
"Not really!"
"Why don't you ask to see King Qin?"
Xuan Ying pondered for a while before saying: "Originally, the monarch didn't explain this matter to you in detail, but you and I came together and worked together, if we can't be honest with each other, maybe we will miss the monarch's affairs because of this, anyway, you will serve the monarch in the future, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."
This time, we entered Qin to report the funeral, mainly to drive a wedge between the King of Qin and Changping Jun, so we have to plan and plan who will be the first to achieve the goal.
Changping Jun is the son of the king born when he was a proton in the Qin State, and he is also qualified to succeed the king of Chu, but Changping Jun has been in the Qin State since he was born and has never been to the Chu State. From the bones, he should be regarded as a Qin person. And because of her relationship with Mrs. Huayang, she has always been friendly to King Qin, and both of them used to be protons and cherished each other. Changping Jun was a few years older than King Qin, and he always cherished King Qin as a younger brother, and was favored by King Qin.
This is not good for me Da Chu!
If the King of Qin supports Changping Jun to return to China and succeed to the throne, and even does not hesitate to lend troops to him, the replacement of the old and the new in our Chu State will make waves again, and the country will inevitably be turbulent again. All of this is detrimental to the Maharaja's reform and reform. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the two.
Now, if we are talking about state affairs, we should naturally ask to see King Qin first. But we did the opposite and asked to see Changping Jun first, which seemed to the Qin monarchs and ministers as if we wanted Changping Jun to return to China, and might even make them guess what agreement Chu and Changping Jun had reached in private.
In this way, a thorn was planted between the king of Changping and the king of Qin. When someone proposed that Changping Jun return to Chu to succeed to the throne, the courtiers of Qin were inevitably a little jealous. β
Liu Xuan suddenly realized that since Chun Shenjun was Xiong Han's son, he would definitely not let Changping Jun have the opportunity to return to China and succeed to the throne. But if the Qin State uses this as an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of Chu, it will also make the Chu State unstable, and the only way is to make Changping Jun unable to return to the Chu State from the beginning.
Xuan Ying continued: "In my opinion, our first visit to Changpingjun is just some means that cannot be put on the stage. I can invade the hinterland of Chu at the cost of one person, and if I were the king of Qin, I would be like this. It doesn't matter whether Changping Jun has his heart for the Chu State, with the hegemony of the Qin State, he can't intervene strongly, as long as he can enter the Chu State in the name of succession, he can make the Chu State turbulent, and if the Qin State still has a virtuous person in power, he will not let it go. β
"Then why do we use these little tricks?"
"Hehehe!"
Su Ying smiled: "A little trick is useless, but we are not a little trick. A little trick today, a little trick tomorrow, three people become tigers, if you say more, you have to believe it if you don't believe it! What's more, we are not mainly acting for King Qin, but for Lu Buwei. β
Isn't this a qualitative change caused by quantitative change?
Liu Xuan didn't expect that the ancients could think of this, and there was a feeling that his IQ had been exploded. Humbly asked, "Why is that?" β
Su Ying said: "It has been nine years since King Yingzheng of Qin succeeded to the throne, but he has not yet been in power. There are two main people in charge of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State Minister Wenxin Hou LΓΌ Buwei and Changxin Hou Changyu. One of these two represents a relative and the other represents a courtier. As long as they are jealous, it is enough to make Changping Jun unable to return to the country! β
Hello? LΓΌ Buwei?
There were two more familiar names, Liu Xuan jumped up with interest, and the legends about the two of them in later generations instantly poured into his mind.
After LΓΌ Buwei became the prime minister, he had an affair with the Empress Dowager Zhao, and LΓΌ Buwei was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he secretly offered Chang Yu to serve the Empress Dowager Zhao as a eunuch on his behalf, and had two sons. After the matter was revealed, Chang Yu was killed by the King of Qin, and LΓΌ Buwei was also implicated and deposed, and then he was killed by the suspicion of the King of Qin.
This allusion is known to everyone in later generations, but at this time it is all hidden beneath the surface.
Liu Xuan instantly came up with an idea and asked, "One of these two people is a relative, and the other is a national minister, who is the main person?" β
"This..."
Thinking back to the contradiction between Li Yuan and Chun Shenjun of the Chu State, Jian Ying instantly thought of a lot, his face suddenly became cloudy, and he frowned: "Are you saying that it is better to provoke the contradiction between Chang Yu and Lu Buwei than to separate the King of Qin and Changpingjun, once these two people drag each other back, the political situation of the Qin State is unstable, and naturally they will not have the energy to participate in the affairs of the Chu State?" β
"It's not just that!"
Liu Xuan suggested: "Depending on the etiquette, the male twenty will be crowned." Although the king of Qin did not have a pro-government, he had reached the age of pro-government. These two people have not had the intention of returning to the monarch for a long time, doesn't King Yingzheng of Qin have the slightest guilt in his heart?
Therefore, as long as they can provoke the contradictions between the two, they can make the political situation of the Qin State turbulent and unable to participate in the affairs of the Chu State. I believe that if King Qin still wants to take charge of the Qin State, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to squeeze the two out of the court. β
This time, he understood Liu Xuan's quick wit and applauded it! "That's it, hurry up and talk about Ji An's release?"
Liu Xuan carefully recalled the story of the two, but he didn't remember why the conflict between the two broke out in the record.
Since you can't think of it, let's create contradictions!
Liu Xuan combed through what he knew, pondered it carefully, and thought about it for a while.
"The reason why Changxinhou and Wenxinhou can get along is that they have a tacit understanding with each other, and they know very well that the discord between the two will only make them lose more. But at that time, the king of Qin was young, and everything in the Qin State was in the hands of the two, and the power was enough for the two to divide up. But now that the King of Qin is about to take charge of the government, the two will inevitably give up some of their rights.
Especially Changxin Hou Changyu, through the Empress Dowager Zhao, can be in charge of the jade seal. The prince of Qin will inevitably take back the jade seal, so that the Marquis of Changxin will definitely not like it, but if the Marquis of Wenxin Lu Buwei gives up his rights to Chang Yu, he will definitely not agree, if you don't say these things, I won't say it, and the king of Qin will pass the buck to each other when he comes to ask, and he can stalemate for a few years, so that the king of Qin can only stare dryly.
It can be said that now everyone is safe if they don't move, as long as one person moves, the balance is immediately broken!
We just need to convince them that one of the three parties has moved, and then we don't need to do it, and the forces of several parties can kill the sky in the dark!
This time our family visit past, secretly mention a few words, they each have ghosts and suspicions, and the one who can't help it will definitely do it! β
"Hahaha!
Good! That's it! β
Su Ying laughed: "With a talent like you, why worry about my Chu country!" "Under revision...
