Chang'an Palace.

"Your Highness, there has been a reply from Hanyang-kun's side."

Cheng Chan took the letter written by his subordinates from Zhao Shuang, glanced at it, and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, what did Hanyang-kun say?"

"Words are nothing, high-sounding."

Cheng Chan smiled and casually threw the letter into the brazier. In this palace, Chang'anjun's subordinates looked at each other, and they didn't know what was written on this Hanyang Jun's letter?

Chang'an Jun is the son of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, if it wasn't for Lu Buwei to take Zhao Ji's mother and son back to Qin who were hostages in Zhao State, then the position of King Qin today is his.

Lü Buwei is a businessman who defends the country, has the talent of the world, and can live in a strange move, and joined forces with the Empress Dowager Huayang to put an inconspicuous Zhao proton on the throne of Qin.

After that, Lü Buwei joined forces and successfully squeezed out the forces of Cheng Xuan's side.

Lü Buwei was the prime minister of Qin, and after he took control of the government, he attracted many people to stand on his opposite side.

Many of them were once allies of Lü Buwei.

Behind Cheng Chan, there are the Empress Dowager Huayang, the Chu relatives on the side of Changping Jun, the Korean relatives on the side of the Empress Dowager Xia, the Qin clan who is dissatisfied with Lü Buwei and some families who want to speculate.

In addition, Chang'anjun's fief is in Chang'an, separated from Xianyang by a river, and the fields in the territory are fertile, and there are many armor soldiers, which is a great threat to Xianyang.

But even so, with the strength of Cheng Chan's own territory, he couldn't shake the capital of Qin.

Under the feudal system, the feudal lords in various places had huge power, and they had soldiers and money in their hands. The original demise of the Jin Kingdom was because the six clans were strong and hollowed out the foundation of the Jin monarch.

However, since the Shang monarch changed the law, the system of the Qin State began to slowly change from the feudal monarchy.

Even at this moment, the King of Qin did not have a personal government, Lü Buwei was in power, and the Qin State had a strong external military force, but it was quite vain internally and the foundation was unstable, but the huge inertia under the military merit title system of the Qin State still had the ability to restrain the power of the feudal monarch.

Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei has 100,000 households in Luoyi. But based on this alone, Cheng Chan is not afraid. The key is that Lü Buwei is still the prime minister of Qin.

With Chang'anjun's own forces, he could not confront Lü Buwei, so he needed to rely on the rest of the people within the Qin State.

Whether it is the clan, the Qin clan, or the officials who are dissatisfied with being excluded among the foreign relatives.

They had private soldiers in their hands, they had financial resources, and most importantly, they were dissatisfied with Lü Buwei.

With the size of the Qin State, there may be a lot of these people, but there are only a few people who are critical.

Hanyang Jun Zhao Shuang, with Lu Buwei's recommendation, soon appeared in the eyes of Xianyang and others. Before, no one noticed that corner. But once you pay attention, detailed information will continue to flow.

Zhao Shuang's body has the attributes of the clan and clan, and his territory is also very close to Guanzhong.

From Yongdi along the Han River, enter Nanyang, and then march from the road of Shangyu, along the Dan River, if the speed is fast, you can reach Guanzhong in half a month.

This is a reinforcement that is on the fringes but can be sold. Especially when the Lantian camp was taken by Fan Yuzhi, and there was no obstacle to the natural danger of Wuguan.

In order to rein in these forces, it is natural that they need to gain a certain degree of mutual trust. And the letters exchanged between the two sides are one of them, but Zhao Shuang's letter does not say any truth, and it has no value that can even be used as evidence.

"Your Highness, what did Hanyang-kun say?"

Cheng Chan smiled and did not answer.

"Without it, let's move on to something else."

......

Prime Minister's Office.

"Is that so?"

Lu Buwei sat behind the table, and there was a black-robed man standing in front of him.

"Xiangbang, after Cheng Cheng received Zhao Shuang's letter, he immediately burned it, there must be a secret in it."

Lu Buwei nodded and asked suddenly.

"Did Cheng Chan burn it in public after receiving the letter?"

"Yes!"

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"You go down and keep watching."

"No!"

After the black-robed man left, Wei Zhuangyan, who had never spoken, said.

"This news has leaked, and I have received more than one piece of information, all about this matter."

Lu Buwei didn't care, leaned back, leaning on the couch.

"Zhao Shuang has 5,000 troops in his hands, which is a force to be reckoned with. There may not be anyone in the entire Guanzhong who has more private soldiers in his hands than him. The correspondence with him, which is supposedly top secret, was opened in public? If it was opened in public, why was it burned in public? ”

"What do you mean?"

"It seems that Cheng Chan doesn't want to let his two thousand gold flowers go for nothing."

Lu Buwei looked at Wei Zhuang with a smile on his face.

"My thousand gold can't be spent in vain."

Wei Zhuang felt Lu Buwei's gaze and bowed his head slightly.

"I see."

Lu Buwei nodded, and seemed to be very satisfied with Wei Zhuang's clever subordinate.

Wei Zhuang walked out of the prime minister's mansion and turned into a remote dark alley, where two men in black suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of him.

"Lord Weizhuang!"

"You go and help me do something, spread the news that Cheng Chan gave Zhao Shuang 2,000 gold, and it is best to make it known to everyone."

Watching the two leave, Wei Zhuang showed a smile on his face, and the resentment accumulated in his heart seemed to dissipate.

"I'll let you Zhao Dabao!"

......

Zhaojia Village.

When Zhao Shuang heard Bai Feng's information, he was eating melons.

"What did you say?"

"There are rumors in Guanzhong that you have a close relationship with Chang'anjun and have close contacts."

Zhao Shuang was stunned for a moment, and the melon in his hand suddenly became less sweet.

"I'm going to put a basin on my head!"

"Lord, what are we going to do?"

Zhao Shuang put down the melon in his hand and sighed leisurely.

"It seems that Lu Buwei and Cheng Chan's money is not so easy to collect!"

When Lu Buwei and Cheng Chan didn't want Zhao Shuang to watch the play on the sidelines, the two worked together, and the effect was remarkable.

"Lord, what should I do?"

Zhao Shuang touched his face, leaned on the railing, and smiled slightly.

"Cheng Chan wants me to stand in line, but why should Lu Buwei help him? What's in it for him to push me to Chang'anjun's side? ”

"What does the Lord mean?"

"Lü Buwei let Fan Yuzhi take control of the Lantian camp, and asked me to be crowned king, and gave me the land north of the Han River, in fact, the power of Cheng Chan, Changping Jun and me was integrated, forming a force that was enough to threaten the royal power."

"I'm just a leader, no matter how many troops I have, I am in a remote area after all. Half a month is enough to affect too many things. Lu Buwei wants to use me to deal with Changping Jun and Cheng Chan. ”

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the continuous houses and fertile fields under the high pavilion, as if to add a layer of color to the mountains and rivers, quiet and warm.

Zhao Shuang turned around and waved his sleeves, but there was a hint of murderous intent on his face.

"Remove their minions, cut off their support. Once Lü Buwei was not absolutely sure, he would not be so aggressive. ”

Mo Crow and Bai Feng lowered their heads, but saw Zhao Shuang smile slightly.

"Presumably this matter, Cheng Chan and Changping Jun are happy to see it."
