Chapter 317: Neighbors
Xianyang.
In front of Changping Jun was a stack of official affairs that urgently needed to be handled by the prime minister, but he was in turmoil, but he didn't have the heart to bow down to the case.
The state of Chu changed dramatically. The king of Chu died of illness, and Li Yuan staged a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace thorn gate, assassinated Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie of the state of Chu, set up the crown prince Xiong Han as the new king of Chu, and united his sister Li Huan to control the government of Chu.
Changping Jun is the eldest son of the King of Chu, and the son born to Xiong Wan when he was hostage in the Qin State. In the spring of that year, Shenjun entered Qin and rescued Xiong Wan from King Zhaoxiang of Qin and returned to the state of Chu, while Changpingjun stayed.
According to the division of concubines, Changping Jun was the first candidate to succeed the king of Chu. However, it was impossible for the king of Chu to take this eldest son, who had stayed in the Qin State since he was a child and held a high position, back to the Chu State as the crown prince.
To some extent, Changpingjun is in a rather embarrassing situation, but fortunately, the Empress Dowager Huayang is his most reliable backer, and has supported him all the way to today's status.
The coup d'Γ©tat of the state of Chu was not all bad for Changping Jun, on the contrary, whether it was Li Huan, the empress dowager of Chu, or Li Yuan, who had now stolen Ling Yin, they would vigorously curry favor with him, the minister who held real power in the state of Qin, so as to ease the relationship between Qin and Chu.
"Brother, someone has come from the Chu State, bringing a lot of precious gifts, and bringing a letter from the King of Chu."
Chang Wenjun put the letter on the table, next to a pile of official bamboo scrolls. Changping Jun slammed his hand on the table, angry.
"Shaft!"
Chang Wenjun was silent, and he didn't know who Chang Pingjun was scolding for a while?
Changping Jun temporarily calmed the anger in his heart, looked at the letter of the King of Chu on the table, and smiled softly, with a little contempt.
"Believe it or not!"
A smile appeared on Chang Wenjun's face. For this new Chu king, Chang Wenjun has some respect in his heart, but it is not because of this person, but because of the meaning of that position.
"It seems that my brother is not satisfied with this new Chu king!"
Changpingjun shook his head.
"It's not that I underestimate this brother, he is not a little worse than our King of Qin. The decline of the Chu state is inevitable. β
Since Bai Qi conquered Yingdu more than 40 years ago, the state of Chu has plummeted, losing the land of Yunmeng when it started, millions of fields and a large number of people in the Jianghan Plain.
Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, was not an outstanding monarch? However, with the assistance of Chun Shenjun, it also stopped the decline of the Chu State. Over the years, the national strength of Chu has rebounded? Gradually, there was a tendency to fight against the Qin State.
But all this? Until now? And it will stop.
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Li Yuan is a vertical son, obsessed with power, what ability does he have to govern the country? What's more? The reason why he was able to become Ling Yin? It's just relying on the name of Xiong Qiang's orthodoxy. β
The lords of Chu are weak and the ministers are strong, and the power of the feudal lords in various places is only stronger than that of the Qin State, and the strongest of them is the Xiang clan. Li Yuan doesn't have the ability and prestige of Chun Shenjun? It can unite the forces between the government and the opposition. For quite some time to come? I am afraid that the authority of the Chu royal family will decline dramatically.
Changping-kun smiled? looked at Chang Wenjun.
"Don't forget? My brother is not an easy character. Merely? Chaos in the territory of the Chu State? For us and others, it is not all bad, and farmers can take this opportunity to vigorously develop their power. Ourβ"
Speaking of this, Changping Jun suddenly frowned? Stopped. Chang Wenjun sees it in his eyes? asked.
"Brother? What's wrong? β
"What can I think of? What about Zhao Shuang? β
At that moment, a sound came from outside the house. Changpingjun's face changed and he asked.
"Who?"
"Your Majesty? It's me. β
"Come on in!"
Tian Guang jumped in from outside and saluted. Since the rebellion of Chang Yu, Tian Guang has been hiding in Guanzhong, waiting for orders from Changping Jun.
"What?"
"News from Nanjun, there is an abnormal movement in the Mo family, and a large number of Mo Xia in Yunmeng have entered Chu in the east, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"As soon as the people from the peasant family entered Nanyang, the Mo family had already gone deep into Chudi, Zhao Shuang's movements were really fast!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Chang Pingjun clasped his hands and his eyes flashed.
"Since they have already gone, let's try it, how is the quality of the Great Commander of the Mo Family? Tian Guang, you go back immediately, organize the six halls of the farmer's house, and deal with the Mo family. This battle prevented the Mo family forces from penetrating deep into Chu and connecting with Baiyue. β
"No!"
................................
Cherry blossom garden in the mountains.
Xuan Jian and the startled salamander stood in front of Zhao Shuang, holding a long sword in their hands.
Zhao Shuang's hand held the spider mask that belonged to the web of the startled salamander and looked at it with interest.
"Zhao Gao reorganized Luowang in a very short period of time, but the existence of Lu Buwei still makes Luowang's situation very embarrassing."
Xuan Qian's words did not surprise Zhao Shuang, as a killer organization that has existed for a long time, how to choose to continue to survive is very clear.
"With the help of the power of the Qin State, it is gradually becoming stronger, which has been set by the net a long time ago. It's just that now, it's time for Luowang to choose a new organization. β
Zhao Shuang smiled. The two people in front of him were once first-class killers in the net, and they knew far more about the net than the others.
"Whether it's a net or a yin and yang family, it's just boarding a giant ship before the tide of the times."
On the eve of the imminent change of the times, many people have already seen the clues.
"Are you one of them?"
The startled salamander looked at Zhao Shuang, and there was a faint vigilance in his eyes. By now, she had realized that even if she helped Zhao Shuang get rid of Chang Yu, she still couldn't leave.
Because the startling salamander gradually became clear, she has now become a weakness of Zhao Shuang, and a breakthrough for the outside world to break through Zhao Shuang's upstart defense line.
It's just that such a choice is not a good choice for the startled salamander and her daughter. It's just that Zhao Shuang is a dangerous person after all, and the startled salamander is still a little worried in his heart.
Bai Feng's figure crossed the high wall of the courtyard and fell into the courtyard.
"Lord, there's already action on the farmer's side."
Fighting against the farmer, the disadvantage of Zhao Shuang's side was revealed, that is, the lack of top masters under the "Mo Family Commander".
Zhao Shuang glanced at the two people in front of him, although Xuan Jian and Startling Salamander were both top masters, but they couldn't directly intervene in the dispute between the Mo family and the farmer.
Putting the mask in his hand on the verandah, Zhao Shuang stood up and looked at the startled salamander.
"From now on, you will not be a snare hunter. Throw away this soft armor and this mask, and as for this salamander sword......"
There was a bit of surprise in the big round eyes of the startled salamander, and he seemed to be a little surprised by Zhao Shuang's words.
"It's okay to keep it! Now that Yan'er has arrived in Nanzheng, you can go south now and live next to Xuan Jian together! β
"But my lord, over at the farmer's house?"
Xuan Jian was a little worried, the strength in Zhao Shuang's hands at the moment was not enough to deal with the farmer.
"It's okay!"
Zhao Shuang waved his hand, not seeming to be worried.
