Chu Guo, Chen Ying.

After hearing the news from the front line of the Lu State, Chu Wangyuan's mood was suddenly very good.

Although it is indeed very easy to destroy the Lu State with the national strength of the Chu State, it is always necessary to hear definite news in order to make people feel at ease.

Although it is said that Lu is indeed a weak chicken, no matter what, this is a credit for expanding the territory after all.

For a king, the expansion of territory is the greatest achievement, and no achievement can be compared!

It is precisely because of this that Chu Wangyuan's heart suddenly felt that his suppression of Chunshenjun Huang Xie in the past year seemed to be a bit too much.

Although Huang Xie suffered defeat, he was loyal to Chu Wangyuan anyway.

If it weren't for Huang Xie's strategy, Chu Wangyuan would not have been able to escape from the treacherous Qin Wangji and return to Chu from Xianyang to inherit the throne.

And with the suppression of Huang Xie in the past year, the three major families of Zhao, Jing, and Qu have gradually begun to grow in the political arena of Chu.

The combination of various factors made Chu Wangyuan feel that maybe it was time to give Huang Xie some sweetness.

Therefore, Chu Wangyuan almost didn't think about it, so he opened his mouth and gave an order: "Chun Shenjun Huang Xie opened up the territory and expanded the territory for the Chu State, which is really a great contribution to the widow and a great contribution to the Chu State!" Since there is merit, the widow naturally wants to be rewarded! The order will go down and return all the fiefdoms that Chun Shenjun had previously been cut! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the main hall of the Chu State, and many ministers of the Chu State kept exchanging glances, and their expressions were quite complicated.

And Huang Xie, who rushed back in advance to restore his life, was even more excited, and directly bowed to the worship: "Thank you for the king's grace!" ”

On the other side, the ministers of the Zhao, Jing, and Qu families couldn't help but look a little ugly.

Huang Xie's original fiefdom was twelve counties, but now it has been cut down and returned, and it is still twelve counties.

The fiefdom of the twelve counties is nothing to the three major families, and any one family has far more land and population than the twelve counties, and the reason why the backbones of the three major families look so ugly is mainly because of the deeper meaning in the reward of Chu Wangyuan.

The restoration of this fiefdom actually represents the restoration of Chu Wangyuan's trust in Huang Xie.

This means that Ling Yin's position, which Huang Xie has been shaky under the fierce attack of the three major families for a year, is now basically sitting firmly again.

Wait until the next time you have a chance to bring down Huang Xie, and I don't know when it will be.

How does this not make these political enemies of Huang Xie depressed?

It was also at this time that a guard came to say: "King, Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State, asks to see!" ”

Chu Wangyuan, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and said, "Come on, let the envoy of Zhao come in." ”

A moment later, Zheng Zhu appeared in front of Chu Wang Yuan and bowed: "Foreign Minister Zheng Zhu has seen the king!" ”

Chu Wangyuan looked at Zheng Zhu and said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't need to be polite, presumably the envoy came this time, he should hope that the widow will send troops to support the Zhao State, I don't know if what the widow said is right or not?" ”

Zheng Zhu said respectfully: "That's right! ”

Chu Wang Yuan laughed and said: "This matter is very important, the widow still needs to discuss with the ministers, so please ask the envoy to wait for a while in the side hall, and wait until the result of the discussion is reached, and the widow will inform the envoy!" ”

As soon as Chu Wang Yuan waved his hand, several palace guards immediately appeared, and politely "invited" Zheng Zhu, who had not had time to speak and looked confused......

After Zheng Zhu left, the smile on Chu Wangyuan's face retracted: "Zhu Qing thinks, should the widow come to Zhao's aid at this moment?" ”

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie's eyes rolled, and he immediately came out and played: "King, Zhao and Chu have been allies for many years, and they have fought side by side in the two battles of Changping and Hedong, helping each other, so how can such allies not be saved?" The minister is willing to drive forward for the king and send troops to Wei and Qi! ”

For Huang Xie, merit is everything.

But of course, Huang Xie's political enemies would not let Huang Xie dominate Chu Wangyuan's will so easily.

Jingyang, who had been captured by the Qin people once, immediately jumped out and said: "King, now that the countries are besieging the Zhao State, it is to reproduce the scene of the five kingdoms attacking Qi back then, if the Chu State also joins Zhao, then the Zhao State will definitely be torn apart, and it will no longer be the overlord of the Warring States, let alone the trouble of my Great Chu!" ”

Huang Xie couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and reprimanded: "Jingyang, how stupid you are!" The reason why the Chu State participated in the Five Kingdoms Expedition to Qi was because the Chu State could take the Huaibei Land from the Qi State. Now that Chu and Zhao are not bordering, even if the Zhao State falls apart, what benefit will it be to our Chu State? And once the Zhao State is defeated, if the Qin State unites the Wei and Qi countries to attack, who in the world can lend a helping hand to Great Chu? ”

When Jing Yang heard that Huang Xie actually scolded himself for being stupid in public, he was also very angry in his heart, and immediately retorted: "Chun Shenjun's words are simply blind! If this Zhao State is allowed to continue to be strong, then wouldn't it be a reappearance of the scene of the Qin State back then? Could it be that Chun Shenjun wants to see a Zhao State as strong as the Qin State in the past? ”

Huang Xie snorted: "The Qin State of the past was indeed powerful, but so what? Isn't it the same that the king united with the Zhao State and won two consecutive wars? No matter how strong the Zhao State is, as long as the king unites the countries, he can still win the battle! Right now, Qin, Qi, and Wei are all eyeing Great Chu, and Great Chu needs Zhao as an ally! ”

The two important ministers came and went, and suddenly quarreled in the main hall.

These two big figures have already sprayed like this, and they almost rolled up their sleeves and fought directly, so it is naturally impossible for the younger brothers of the two factions to be indifferent and open their mouths to help scold.

So the whole hall was foaming at the mouth for a while, and it was even more lively than the vegetable market.

"Enough!" Chu Wangyuan was upset when he heard this, and couldn't help but slap the table in front of him heavily, and shouted: "Noisy and yelling, what kind of system is it?" ”

was drunk like this by Chu Wangyuan, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Chu Wangyuan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he looked at the faces of all the ministers in the palace one by one, until he looked down at everyone before he said coldly: "Bring back the envoy of Zhao State!" ”

A moment later, Zheng Zhu, who had already been waiting in the side hall, returned to the main hall.

Before Zheng Zhu could speak, Chu Wangyuan had already announced his decision.

"Messenger, go back and tell King Zhao that the widow has just used troops against the Lu State now, and the losses are not small, so it will take a certain amount of time to repair the soldiers and horses! But please rest assured that King Zhao, as long as the widow's soldiers and horses are repaired, the widow will immediately order the army to go north to support Zhao! ”

After saying this, Chu Wangyuan didn't give Zheng Zhu a chance to open his mouth at all, and shouted directly: "Someone, send a messenger!" ”

Looking at Zheng Zhu's helpless departing figure, a strange look flashed from Chu Wangyuan's eyes.

Chu Wangyuan is not stupid, and there is no shortage of talented and resourceful people around him.

After a whole year, the king of Chu had already understood the decision of Zhao State to "besiege Qin to save Chu" in the battle of Hedong County a year ago, and wanted to make Qin lose both.

As the saying goes, one report and one report, since he Zhao Wang Dan is calculating the widow, then the widow will wait until Zhao and Qi and Wei are both defeated before sending troops to reinforce Zhao!
