Chapter 109: Child's Heart
At this time, Shouchun City, the city gate was wide open, and business travelers, sword-wielding generals, knights, swordsmen, and all kinds of people came and went.
In the hall of Shouchun Mansion, everyone sat in their own seats.
In addition to some important figures, Cao Ji also invited some generals in the army, involving many forces.
For a time, the hall of the government was full of forces from all over the world, and there were at least nearly 100 people in total.
Those who participated in the Battle of Shouchun, those who did not participate in the afar, are all used.
Cao Ji looked around the audience and nodded at the people who came.
Xiang Bo represents the Xiang family's forces, Qin Jia represents the Donghai County forces, and Fan Juan represents the Shouchun cottage forces......
"What about Wu Chen of Poyi?"
The audience looked at each other left and right, and found that Wu Chen was indeed not present.
Wu Chen is an important ally of Cao Ji, everyone here knows this, but Wu Chen is absent at this time, which can't help but arouse everyone's suspicion.
"Duke Cao, my subordinates have not found the son of Wu Chen." When a subordinate saw Cao Ji's inquiry, he stepped forward and replied.
Cao Ji frowned and shook his head: "Gongzi Wu Chen is a person from Weihe Poyi, and Weihe Poyi has always been the vanguard of my Great Chu anti-Qin righteous soldiers. Today, we are waiting to gather, but he is not there, what a fly in the ointment! ”
The audience also shook their heads, muttering about pity and pity.
At this moment, a person slowly walked in outside the lobby, and this person was Wu Chen.
"Gong Cao, Wu Chen is late."
Wu Chen walked into the lobby with a smile on his face as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Wu Chen's arrival, Cao Ji immediately got up, pointed to the seat closest to him, and said with a smile: "Wu Chen, please!" ”
"Xie Caogong."
As soon as Wu Chen arrived, all the anti-Qin forces in Shouchun had arrived, and of course there were still forces that had not yet arrived in Shouchun.
In fact, as early as the day after Song Daodao came to Shouchun, that is, the day Cao Ji met Song Daodao, Cao Ji successively sent out invitations to invite these allies to gather in Shouchun.
One of the letters was written after seeing Song Daodao, and this letter also happened to cause the change of the city gate.
There was no conspiracy in that letter, and everything before it was just Song Daodao's conjecture.
This letter is actually a letter written by Cao Ji to Liyang Ling Sima Xin.
On the same day, Xiang Bo came to Shouchun and told Cao Ji about Xiang Liang.
Xiang Liang, that is, Xiang Yu's uncle and Xiang Yan's son.
At the beginning, Xiang Liang killed someone in Liyang County and was arrested by Sima Xin.
The Xiang family was busy organizing anti-Qin forces, so they didn't want to make a big deal about it, so they thought of Cao Yao.
Cao Xin is a Qin general, and Yu Sima Xin was a comrade, and the Xiang family thinks that as long as Cao Ji intercedes, Sima Xin will inevitably release him.
Sure enough, on that day, Xiang Bo came to Shouchun and informed Cao Zhi of Xiang Liang's matter, and Cao Ji immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to Liyang after seeing Song Daodao.
According to the report a few days ago, Sima Xin had already released Xiang Liang, and Xiang Liang was also on his way.
From the beginning, everything was in Cao's plan.
And today, that's the result.
Seeing that the anti-Qin forces that had arrived in Shouchun had arrived, Cao Ji immediately made an official announcement.
"Righteous people, tyrannical Qin has no way and ravages the world. Qin died in the Six Kingdoms, and Chu was the most innocent.
Today, the people often think about their homeland, and they can't return to the west with the king.
blamed Qin for being deceived in the past, and actually aided the abuse, and today I can't help but feel sad when I think of it.
Today, the sky has eyes, and the Qin room is in chaos, and this is the time for us to oppose Qin and stir up chaos.
Earlier, he was blamed in the mountains and forests, and finally found the heart of the grandson of King Huai.
We can't be without an owner, after the prince has the king in his heart, he is willing to serve him as the king of Chu, I don't know what you think? ”
After Cao Ji finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, but they didn't dare to explain their attitude.
Some people in this group think that the child's heart is set up by Cao Ji, and the number two person in the Chu State in the future will inevitably be Cao Ji.
As a person who helped Great Qin destroy the Chu State, Cao Ji really couldn't satisfy everyone.
Of course, there are also many people who support Cao Ji, these people don't care about Cao Ji's background, they only recognize Cao Ji's ability, or Cao Ji can bring them greater benefits.
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, but no one expressed his position, at this time Xiang Bo stood up and said to Cao Ji: "After General Xiang Yan, Xiang Bo is willing to serve Gongzi's heart as the king of Chu." ”
When Xiang Bo said this, everyone present was in an uproar.
It's not because of how famous Xiang Bo is among the anti-Qin forces, nor is it because of how much power Xiang has in the anti-Qin forces.
And just because of the name Xiang Yan.
In the hearts of the Chu people, General Xiang Yan has become synonymous with the restoration of the country and the vane of the righteous army.
After Xiang Yan, Xiang's standing in line will greatly affect the judgment of many people.
This is also the cleverness of Cao Yan, as a traverser, he knows Xiang Yan's status very well.
Therefore, he greeted Xiang Bo early, so that he could make a splash at this rally.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiang Bo revealed his identity, the forces present who had wavered immediately cast approving glances at Cao Ji.
"Qin Jia of Donghai County is willing to serve the prince as the king of Chu."
"Fan Juan is willing to serve the prince as the king of Chu."
……
Immediately afterwards, Cao Qi's own subordinates took the lead, and all the forces present expressed their willingness to serve Gongzi's heart as the king of Chu.
Some people who originally wanted to compete for power with Cao Ji now have to recognize Cao Ji's status.
After a round, almost all the forces showed their attitude, and no one opposed Gongzixin's status as the king of Chu.
Only one person present did not say anything.
"Gongzi Wu Chen, what do you think?" Cao Ji looked at Wu Chen, the only one who did not express his position.
The people present also looked at him.
Among all the anti-Qin forces in Chu, Poyi, Weihe, and Shouchun were the largest forces.
The marriage between Poyi and Weihe further consolidated the power of the two families.
Therefore, whether the anti-Qin uprising can succeed depends to a large extent on the side of Weihe and Poyi.
In the past, Cao Ji had always persuaded Yingbu and Wu Rui to wait for Chen Sheng's uprising and use Chen Sheng as a shield.
On the one hand, it is true that Shouyi is easy to be targeted, but the bigger reason is that Cao Yi needs to be equal to the status or power of Weihe Poyi.
A monarch who supports together can help Cao Ji meet equality of status.
But later, Cao Ji gradually discovered that history had been changed, and it was impossible to achieve such a balance between Chen Sheng and himself and Yingbu Wu Rui.
At this point, Cao Ji gave up the idea of supporting Chen Sheng, and instead supported the heart of the son.
Now, although the name of the prince Xinchu King has been decided, if Wu Chen does not agree, the status of the prince Xinchu King will still not be established.
Wu Chen smiled and looked around at the leaders of the various forces who were looking at him.
They all knew the importance of Wu Chen's final decision, so those who were forced to give in pinned their hopes on him, and those who were genuinely supportive were also hungry for Wu Chen's support.
