The Zhao Mansion was busy, and Zhao Tuo, who had not been in Beijing for several years, suddenly wanted to go to Kyoto.

This man who made the northern land impregnable and commanded 100,000 soldiers was not treated well by his peers in the court. It's not so much fear as not to see it.

Zhao Tuo is a very unstable factor for the Chu State, except for 50,000 of the 100,000 soldiers under his command, who are Chu people, the remaining 50,000 are either the soldiers of the Qi State or recruited people who don't know the details, it would be a joke to say that Zhao Tuo has no ability.

It is such a mixed army, but in the hands of Zhao Tuo, it is highly disciplined, and it has become a sharp blade for Chu to guard against Qi.

There are only three people in the Chu State who hold the military power, Zhao Tuo is one, the other is the general Xiang Yan, who is known as the first military general of Great Chu, and the last person is the one sitting on the dragon chair in Shouchun Wangcheng.

The great general Xiang Yan has made great achievements, he was awarded to Xiang, he has been a general of Chu for generations, known as Xiang's, and he is a general in the true sense, such a person has no objection in the world with military power, but how can Zhao Tuo He De lead the 100,000 army of Chu State?

The recital of impeachment of the Marquis of Bengbu would appear on the desk of the king of Chu every day, but this kind of recital would sink into the sea when it was presented, and the king of Chu did not say a word about it.

But anyone who is smart will not go to Zhao Tuo, and the one who hands over the impeachment of Zhao Tuo is often the new Wenchen, but he wants to enter the sight of the king of Chu in this way.

The general Xiang Yan went to the court every day, and those literati didn't dare to make a fuss about him, and when Xiangguo Huang Xie was in power, the government was completely orderly, and he really couldn't find anything wrong, so he naturally picked Zhao Tuo, a big fat sheep far away at the border.

How could the king of Chu not know the thoughts of these scholars? Why is he not afraid of Zhao Tuo? It's just that if Zhao Tuo's military power is cut, who will defend the north? Zhao Tuo's 100,000 soldiers can be regarded as one-third of the soldiers of the Chu State, and if he is forced to rebel, it will not be a loss to the Chu State.

This person is only good at appeasement, not deterrence.

This is what Chun Shenjun said to the King of Chu three years ago, and the King of Chu deeply agreed.

This time, Zhao Tuo suddenly wanted to enter Beijing, which caused chaos in the court, and all kinds of rumors and rumors filled the royal city.

Maybe others can't see why Zhao Tuo went to Beijing this time, but Huang Xie, who has been an old rival with him in the court for many years, knows it. It's just that he wants to add a national character to his title, the city marquis and the country marquis, but the difference between the one word and the status in the Chu State is very different.

The marquis of the city takes the city as the title, and each generation cuts one level, which is the order of the Chu State, that is to say, if Zhao Qi has no outstanding contribution to the Chu State, then when he inherits the title, he will become an earl. And the one who proposed this order to cut the feudal domain was Huang Xie, the Chunshenjun who was also a friend and enemy of Zhao Tuo in the court.

The marquis is completely different, adding a national character to the title, that is, resting with the country, as long as he does not commit the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he will act as the marquis, just like the Xiang clan where Xiang Yan belongs.

A certain courtyard in Shouchun.

The old Confucian in a green shirt bowed his waist to look at the withered yellow flowers in the flower garden with his hands behind him, and an old servant dressed as a scholar stood straight behind him. ”

The old servant bowed slightly and said, "If you go back to the master, I haven't seen you for four years and three months." ”

The old Confucian stroked his beard and smiled, and said, "As you remember, I am old, and I have been fighting with Zhao Tuo for nearly ten years, so I should help him." ”

The old servant looked at this hunchbacked old man who had been with him for most of his life, who would have thought that he would be able to reverse the government and the spring of Shenjun with one sentence?

"I heard that Zhao Tuo's unsuccessful son was taken away by the old man of Zongheng, how vicious is the eyes of the old immortals of the Zongheng faction, I think that the rabbit cub is not a useless person, why is Zhao Tuo in a hurry to enter Beijing? Isn't the old monster enshrined in his Hou Mansion dead? ”

Chun Shen Junsheng looks like an old Confucian, but his speech is very vicious, which is extremely inconsistent with his identity as Xiangguo.

Huang Xie tried to stand up straight, but he looked extremely funny, like an old turtle standing up. He glanced at the gray sky and said, "Shouchun has been dry for more than half a year, and it is finally going to rain, but I don't know how much wind and waves this huge thunderstorm can set off in the royal city." ”

The wind blew the old man's gray beard, Huang Xie shrunk his neck, turned around and staggered towards the house, the old servant following closely behind.

The old Confucian sighed in the courtyard: "The people of the world are like the finches in the sky, but they are not even half as smart as the sparrows. Alas, in the end, I am old, and I can't stand the cold when it's cold, so it's time to fill in clothes. ”

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Bengbu City, the Bengbu Marquis, who made the court scholars worried, ascended to the head of Bengbu City.

Every ten paces on the city wall there is a guard standing with a halberd in his hand.

Zhao Tuo walked around the city wall, looked at the Nuo family business that he had fortunately accumulated for nearly ten years, and finally stopped at the south gate, looking at the south from afar, as if he wanted to see the capital thousands of miles away.

I'm afraid that the upright literati of the dynasty are in chaos, what is the capital? The wind and grass of the Chu State can't escape the word of mouth of the Shouchun people, what is the difference between Zhao Tuo, who killed tens of thousands of people in the Qi State in the north, and the barbarians?

The most unpleasant thing to look at Zhao Tuo in the world is not the generals of the Qi State, but the Confucian scholars in the court of the Chu State who can only show off their literary talents. Relying on the high mountain and the emperor far away, racking his brains to speak ill of him in front of the king of Chu, is he not afraid of the 100,000 soldiers in Zhao Tuo's hands?

It's just that this trip is afraid that it will chill the hearts of the world's scholars, Huang Xie still underestimated the ambition of this marquis who has been crisscrossing the north for decades, Zhao Tuo's return to Beijing this time is not only to add a national character before the title, but also to the Shangzhu country, which symbolizes the highest military power of the Chu State!

If you want to ask him about his confidence, it is the 100,000 iron horsemen stationed in the north, and the peasant masters who have already penetrated every corner of the court.

I'm afraid that even the King of Chu himself didn't find out that those literati who scolded the Marquis of Bengbu in the court were still guests in the Hou Ye's mansion a few days ago.

On the city wall, the Marquis of Bengbu, who was dressed in a green robe, sighed and said: "I originally wanted to wait for a few more years, but I didn't expect the plan to catch up with the changes, Li Shan, Li Shan, if you hold on for a few more years, I, Zhao Tuo, will not be in such a hurry to go to the capital."

In the eyes of the Chu people, Zhao Tuo was born in a peasant family, and he didn't know a few words.

There are two of his cronies, both of whom are worshiped by the Zhao Mansion, and one is the sword demon Li Shan, who died not long ago. The other person followed Zhao Tuo for most of his life, and gave him advice and won Jiang Yi, who was unknown to the Qi State.

From the day when Zhao Tuo became the marquis, this strategist who had followed him for most of his life became the first enshriner in the palace, and it was also at that time that the chess game that was enough to subvert the Chu State fell a key one.

Zhao Tuo said that he was able to live to become the marquis of Chu State, half of which was due to ability, and half of it was luck. No one has ever doubted why Zhao Tuo can escape every time he is defeated. No one doubted that he was a reckless man, how could he let a character like Jiang Yi follow him with all his heart.

Even Chun Shenjun, who has been against him for ten years in the capital, probably doesn't know Zhao Tuo's origin.

This conspiracy had been brewing since the young prince of Qin ascended the throne, and it was like a huge chessboard, and Zhao Tuo was just an extremely important chess piece.

Thinking about the time, the young king of the Qin State will soon be in power in two years, and then he will start the plan that has been prepared for nearly ten years.

Zhao Tuo's task is to slowly infiltrate his people into the palace of the King of Chu, without controlling the King of Chu, only need to give a fatal blow at a critical moment.

Everyone in the world knows that the disciples sent by Zongheng have the ability to reach the sky, who would have thought that the master Xun in the Jixia School Palace, who values harmony in everything, has taught a student who is enough to subvert the pattern of the Seven Kingdoms.

Zhao Tuo's true identity didn't seem to be that important anymore, until now he couldn't imagine what kind of existence the person behind him was?

Thinking back to ten years ago, Zhao Tuo at that time was just a nameless dead soldier beside Qin Xiang, and the one behind him was not Qin Xiang's staff.

That night, the man stopped Qin Xiang's carriage on the street, and Zhao Tuo's knife was already on his neck, but he was not afraid.

Zhao Tuo had never seen such clear and sharp eyes.

Qin Xiang asked him, "Are you an assassin?"

The man said, "I am a guest of Lord Xiangguo."

Qin Xiang asked again: "As a doorman of the true phase, what benefits can you bring me?"

The man said, "Plan ahead for Lord Xiangguo."

Lord Xiangguo repulsed the guards, and left a sentence before getting into the car: "People like you are either crazy or have real talents, I want to see how you can prepare for a rainy day for your own appearance."

The man fell to his knees until the carriage disappeared into the night.

That person did not disappoint Qin Xiang, and on the second day of staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he dedicated the plan that was enough to shock the world to Qin Xiang.

Even the well-informed Qin Xiang was also stunned at that moment, and turned his head with difficulty and asked the man: "Who are you?"

The man couldn't hold it for a long time.

The name of that plan is as big as his pattern - the world.

On that day, the Tianzi dead man beside Qin Xiang replaced Zhao Tuo to become the head of the Zhao family, one of the three veins of the farm, and won the trust of the king of Chu in the shortest possible time.

The plan went surprisingly smoothly, Zhao Tuo became the marquis of the Chu State, and he was not valued at all, but he became a crucial chess piece in the annexation of the Chu State.

Li Shan is an accident, it is Zhao Tuo's honor guard to talk about the conditions with the adult, but unfortunately, before Zhao Qi becomes an adult, this honor guard is gone, and he has to go to Kyoto to make his chess piece more important.

And all this is for Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi didn't have the ability to compete with that adult for a day, he didn't dare to be careless for a day, he was willing to be just a puppet, but his son, no!

Zhao Tuo also knows very well that there are still many chess pieces like him in the world, and they infiltrate every corner of the Six Kingdoms, but they don't know when they will erupt and deal a fatal blow to the monarchs of the Six Kingdoms.
