(); The prince of Chu provoked a war on the Fengqing border before, trying to take the opportunity to recover Chu, in fact, there is no problem with this strategy, he is wrong, he is too anxious.

If you wait for Fengqing to start fighting, and the fierce battle is in full swing, and both sides have no way out, then insert another kick, it will be perfect!

It's a pity that his current mistake made Lu Chen and Qingwang see the two sides of the Chu State, and it also directly led to the Chu State in danger.

At this time, Chu Xiang said again: "King, even if the land is cut at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat from the armies of the two countries." ”

When Prince Chu heard this, he asked angrily: "Then what do you say!" ”

"This ......" Chu Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The first king once said that if the two countries conspired to attack Chu, then Chu would ally with one country and divide its alliance. ”

"What do you mean......"

Chu Xiang said: "The two kings of Fengqing have always regarded each other as the biggest enemy, and now, our country can no longer be opportunistic, when we choose one unconditionally, unswervingly form an alliance with it, and get through the current difficulties first." ”

After hearing this, Prince Chu first took two steps back and forth in front of the throne, and then said in a trembling voice: "Okay! Then, according to what the prime minister said, you can send an envoy to Qingguo! ”

On the side of Fengqing and Qing, they have not yet used troops against Chudi, and Chu Xiang has come to Qingguo again.

And after he arrived, he didn't ask to see King Qing immediately, but went to the Taishi's Mansion first.

The position of Taishi, for the first product of the dynasty, is high and powerful, and the Taishi of Qingguo, who is a veteran of the two dynasties, named Guo Zilian, has a great voice in the Qingguo court, and is the second person in addition to Prime Minister Shangguan Jin.

And Guo Zilian, who failed to compete for the position back then, has always been obsessed with it, and he also has a lot of complaints about Shangguan Jin, and there has always been a discord between the two.

Feng Qing conspired to attack Chu, and of course Chu knew that this was the impetus of Qingxiang Shangguan Jin, which was also the reason why Chu Xiang came to Guo Zilian.

More importantly, Guo Zilian is greedy for money.

His age is already fifty or sixty years old, and after learning that Chu Xiang asked to see him, he was stunned at first, and then out of etiquette, he still personally welcomed Chu Xiang out of the mansion and invited Chu Xiang into the hall to serve tea.

After the people brought the tea, Guo Zilian also picked up the teacup and blew it gently, and said straight to the point: "Chu Xiang is here today for the two countries to attack Chu, right?" ”

This is an obvious problem, Chu Xiang did not beat around the bush, and after hearing this, he said with a smile: "The old lady is high, and she is here for this." ”

Guo Zilian shook his head, put down the teacup and said, "Chu Xiang should also understand, now that my king has made a decision, I am afraid it will be useless for you to come to the old man at this time." ”

"Huh? The old lady's words are wrong. Chu Xiang said: "Who doesn't know, the old lady's status is respected, he is the elder of the two dynasties of the Qingguo, and I heard that His Royal Highness the Qingwang has respect for the old lady, no one can match, as long as the old lady is willing to admonish in front of the king, can the Qingwang not accept it?" ”

His words raised Guo Zilian very high, and everyone likes to listen to good words, Guo Zilian is no exception, he laughed and said: "Chu Xiangyan is serious, the old man is old and frail, in front of my king, he is far inferior to Prime Minister Shangguan Jin." ”

Chu Xiang said: "The old lady said that he laughed, the prime minister of Shangguan is important in front of the Qingwang, but he is very arrogant, often does not take others in his eyes, and even monopolizes the power of the court and suppresses other magnates......"

"Huh?" Before he finished speaking, Guo Zilian had already raised his hand to interrupt him, although he was at odds with Shangguan Jin, it was impossible for Guo Zilian to say this in front of Chu Xiang, an outsider.

However, he didn't mean to be angry, and seeing this situation, Chu Xiang didn't say anything more, but hurriedly ordered someone to carry it into two large boxes.

"What is this?" Seeing the two big boxes, Guo Zilian couldn't help but ask.

Chu Xiang first waved his hand to signal the subordinate who carried the box to retreat, and then walked to the two boxes and opened them.

In the box, there were pieces of gold, and the moment they were opened, the glittering golden light could dazzle people, although Guo Zilian was a first-class master, but with so much gold, he couldn't help but stand up.

He pointed to the gold nuggets piled up in the box, swallowed his saliva and said, "Chu Xiang, this ......"

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "These gold are all gifts for the old lady, and I hope the old lady can accept it." ”

I don't understand why Chu Xiang sent so much gold to himself, but he must have something important to ask for himself, although Guo Zilian is greedy for money, but in national affairs, how dare he accept it at will, and he couldn't help waving his hand again and again: "No, this can't be done." ”

"Huh? The old lady will finish her words first. Chu Xiang still smiled, and said: "Your country's prime minister Shangguan Jin, strongly admonished the Qingwang to attack Chu, but once the Chu State perished, the strength of the Wind Country will inevitably rise, and at that time, it will be even more difficult for the Qingguo to try the wind, and my Chu State is absolutely willing to stand on the side of the Qingguo unconditionally at this time, and send troops to attack the wind with the Qingguo, and is willing to cede the two counties of Dongyang and Guiyuan." ”

"What!? Is this true? When Guo Zilian heard this, he was taken aback, the state of Chu is willing to attack the wind unconditionally, and it will also cede the land of the two counties of his own country, this matter is definitely worth considering!

"It's true!" Chu Xiang said: "And these golds, I just hope that the old lady can admonish in front of the Qing King, and after the matter is completed, the old lady not only has these gold, but also makes suggestions for the country, and it is a great benefit for the country and himself!" ”

As he spoke, he continued: "And if the Qingguo is willing to ally Chu to attack the wind, the wind country will definitely be defeated!" At that time, after the wind is extinguished, it can be imagined how great the old lady is. ”

His words can be said to be speaking to Guo Zilian's heart!

Now Prime Minister Shangguan Jin is trying his best to exterminate Chu, Guo Zilian and his political views are not in harmony, but he is powerless to refute it, but now, Chu Xiang's words undoubtedly gave him a chance!

At that time, if the king adopts his own opinion and unites the Chu State to destroy the Feng State, not only will his own merits be unmatched, but he will also be able to take this opportunity to bring down Shangguan Jin!

Thinking of this, Guo Zilian couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then his eyes stayed on the gold nuggets in the box.

Seeing that he began to look at the gold with unblinking eyes, Chu Xiang knew it in his heart, and said again: "The old lady can think about it, if the alliance Chu destroys the Wind Country, then the status of the old lady will be under one person and above ten thousand, such pros and cons, it is obvious, does the old lady still need to consider it?" ”

When Guo Zilian heard this, he still looked at the gold nuggets in the box, and reached out to take out a piece, put it in his hand and opened it, and slowly nodded and said, "This gold nugget is good......"
