Chen Cheng.

At noon on this day, Chu Wangyuan, who had just finished a court meeting, learned a piece of news.

"King, the envoy of Zhao asks to see!"

"Zhao State Envoy?" Chu Wangyuan's heart jumped slightly, and he couldn't help but say to Huang Xie in front of him: "Chun Shenjun, do you know why this envoy of Zhao State came?" ”

It was under Huang Xie's strong leadership that the Chu State and the Qin State, the centuries-old CP old enemies, chose to turn hostility into jade silk and secretly concluded an alliance to fight against the Zhao State, which was completely enough to be compared with the Jin State back then.

It is precisely because Huang Xie vigorously contributed to this matter that this Chun Shenjun, who had originally made Yin's position a little shaky, once again won the trust of Chu Wangyuan, regained a firm foothold in the political arena of Chu State, and gained the ability to compete with the three major families of Zhaojingqu.

To be honest, when Chu Wangyuan heard the visit of the envoy of Zhao State, he actually had a little weakness.

Although lying was rampant and conspiracy was everywhere at this time, and the spirit of any contract was basically thrown into the trash for the monarchs, but in any case, when facing the main owner of Zhao Guo, there must still be a sense of guilt caused by not keeping promises.

Huang Xie didn't seem to see the strangeness of Chu Wangyuan, or maybe he saw it but didn't want to say it, in short, this Chun Shenjun finally gave a not sure answer: "King, why did Zhao envoy come, the minister really doesn't know." However, the minister guessed that Zhao Envoy should come this time to unite the king to crusade against Qin, Qi, and Wei. ”

After listening to Huang Xie's words, the expression on Chu Wangyuan's face seemed to be a little more relaxed, and he said, "Since this is the case, then let Zhao envoy go to the palace." ”

A moment later, Zheng Zhu, a pedestrian from Zhao Guoda, appeared in front of Chu Wangyuan.

"Foreign Minister Zheng Zhu, I've seen the king!"

As a professional diplomat, Zheng Zhu did not have any rudeness between his gestures, and he also gave people a sense of personability.

Chu Wangyuan showed a smile on his face: "Envoy, please take a seat." I don't know why the envoy came this time, could it be that King Zhao plans to conquer the Qin State with the widows? ”

Zheng Zhu laughed and said to Chu Wangyuan: "No, the foreign minister came this time to persuade the king to get lost. ”

Although Zheng Zhu had a smile on his face when he said this, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes at all.

Chu Wangyuan's heart jumped violently, and he forced a smile: "What the envoy said, but the widow doesn't know it." ”

"I don't know?" The smile on Zheng Zhu's face gradually revealed a bit of mockery: "My king ordered the foreign minister to tell the king a word - if people don't know, unless they don't do it!" Since the king was able to secretly form an alliance with the Qin State, why did he pretend to be ignorant in front of his ministers? ”

There was silence in the hall for a moment.

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie on the side saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Zheng Zhu! Isn't it crazy that you have lost your heart, and you actually slandered my Great Chu like this and broke the covenant between Chu and Zhao! Could it be that King Zhao's command is all such ignorant ministers as you? ”

The mocking look on Zheng Zhu's face became even stronger: "Chun Shenjun, you are still quibbling now, do you really think that this matter is seamless, and you can completely hide it from me Zhao Guo before the war?" ”

Huang Xie was furious, and slapped the table with a "bang" and shouted: "Zheng Zhu! There is an enmity between my great Chu and the Qin State, how can it be allied with the Qin State, it is a joke! ”

"Jokes." Zheng Zhu nodded vigorously and sighed: "Indeed, when my king knew this information, my king also thought that this was just a joke. But-Chun Shen Jun, which Chun Shen Jun, you touch your chest and ask yourself, is this a joke! ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhu's whole voice was full of emotion, and he forcibly suppressed Huang Xie's momentum.

Chu Wangyuan looked at the quarrel between Zheng Zhu and Huang Xie, and was extremely shocked in his heart.

It has already reached this point, and Chu Wang Yuan can already see that the people of Zhao have indeed completely grasped the information of Qin Chu's secret alliance.

But the question is - how did Zhao Guoren know this information?

You must know that there are only a handful of people in the Chu State who know the secret of the Qin-Chu alliance, including Chu Wangyuan and Huang Xie, how did this news leak and become known to the people of the Zhao State?

Chu Wangyuan really couldn't figure it out.

But now is obviously not the time to understand whether you want to or not, Zheng Zhu turned his head to look at Chu Wangyuan after refuting Huang Xie speechlessly.

"The king of Haojiao learned that the reason why my king ordered his ministers to come today is precisely to make the king change his evil and return to the right, return to the right path of the Chu-Zhao alliance, and attack the Qin, Qi, and Wei countries together with the Zhao State, so that Zhao Chu can stand side by side in the world, and become the two hegemons of the north and the south as Jin and Chu did back then. If not......"

Zheng Zhu sneered a few times, and said to Chu Wangyuan: "If not, then the army of Zhao will be under Chen Ying in a few days!" Where to go, the king, please choose for yourself. ”

Zheng Zhu's words contained a very stern and straightforward, undisguised threat, which made Chu Wang Yuan and Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, a pair of monarchs and ministers, look at each other, and a chill slowly emerged in their hearts.

These two people are not fools, of course they understand what Zheng Zhu's words represent, this does not represent Zheng Zhu's personal attitude, but represents the will of the young monarch Zhao Wang Dan, who stands behind Zheng Zhu and leads the most powerful overlord country of this era.

Disobedient? Beat you to death!

Chu Wangyuan took a deep breath, only to feel a burst of weakness in his heart.

What should I do?

To be honest, Chu Wangyuan was not ready to face Zhao Guo at all.

According to the prior plan, it should be that Qin should take the lead in attacking Hedong, and then the main army of Zhao will go to the rescue, and at this time, Chu will find a way to unite with Qi or Wei, and take advantage of the emptiness in the east of Zhao to encircle Handan again.

In this way, the Zhao State will not be able to take care of each other, and will completely fall into passivity on the entire battlefield, so that the Qin and Chu countries are very likely to find a good opportunity to defeat the Zhao State in one fell swoop.

However, now that Qin and Chu have not yet begun to mobilize troops, the envoy of Zhao has already appeared in front of Chu Wangyuan, and with such a positive tone, he broke the alliance between Chu Wangyuan and Qin, completely disrupting Chu Wangyuan's plan.

Yi Chu Wang Yuan was also a little speechless for a while, and after his cheeks twitched for a while, he said with a smile: "Messenger, this must be a misunderstanding, there must be someone who passed on false information to King Zhao." Chu and Zhao are allies of blood, how could a widow betray Zhao? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! ”

Zheng Zhu laughed instead of being angry when he heard this, looked at Chu Wangyuan fixedly for a while, and then said: "It seems that the king will never give up the alliance with the Qin State?" In that case, then the minister will take his leave! I also hope that when Chen City is broken, the king will not regret today's decision. ”

After saying this, Zheng Zhu didn't stop any longer, stood up directly from his seat, and walked away.

Chu Wang Yuan looked at Zheng Zhu's departing back dumbfounded, and only after a while did he look at Huang Xie, who was also surprised by Chun Shenjun on the side, and a very strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart.

"This King Zhao doesn't seem to be going to listen to any explanation from the widow......"
