It's gone, it's all gone.

On the top of the mountain, Fang Qingchen moved his gaze to the top of the palace again, and a smile as faint as willow silk swept on his lips.

In the State of Chu, Qin Xufei's era has come to an end. The Chu people will eventually take control of the country by themselves, and now, his own mind should also be on new issues.

The Qin people's forces have all withdrawn from important positions, and Liu Heng will soon hand over the remaining half of the power.

Then, the court of Chu should be in chaos for a while. The princes of the south are afraid that they will be a little unable to sit still. How should this big cake be divided?

It's a lot of fun and challenging for everybody.

――――――――――

Qin Xufei said it well.

Last time, he raised troops in eight days, and the chaos was only limited to the area adjacent to the capital, and he acted secretly, and everyone still didn't know what was going on. Therefore, although there were also riots and dissatisfaction, they were relatively minor after all.

The rest of the Qin army made it clear that they wanted to save Qin and wanted to gather in the capital from all over the Chu State. More importantly, they needed to escort the heavy grain and grass that had been prepared for emergency scraping of the ground and was about to be sent to the Qin State.

Originally, this kind of troop mobilization of more than 100,000 people and preparation for war was a major battle at the national level. Countries like Chen, Wu Weiyan and others took at least several months to prepare, while the Chu State had to raise everything within a month. Officials big and small are naturally so tired that they can't straighten their waists, and they complain. The people inevitably had to be angry with the Qin people who were going to leave for the temporary policy of increasing food and taxes.

The Chu people watched as the Qin people urgently assembled. Slightly panicked and handed over everything, it was deceivable, while gritting his teeth and bleeding heavily, taking out money and food to send the plague god, busy preparing supplies for these Qin people who were leaving, clearing the customs and opening the way, tired and sweating like rain. That anger and boldness are all rising. As a result, the officials of the Chu State delayed the Qin people's money and grain, and the common people and soldiers abused the Qin army. Even attacks happen from time to time.

Fortunately, Liu Heng gave a death order, forbearance in everything, and it was strictly forbidden to clash with force, and Fang Qingchen also made the imperial court issue a holy decree, and he even wrote a sternly worded letter to the princes of all parties, for this kind of incident, it must be strictly investigated. It will not be tolerated, let alone connived.

In the end, although the conflicts were endless, they did not cause uncontrollable incidents.

Within a month, the hostility that the Chu people had erupted towards the Qin people was not entirely bad. Although most of the Qin army was willing to follow Qin Xufei back to China to fight, there were also eight or nine thousand Qin troops, who had already or were preparing to talk about marriage with the Chu people. Start a family and start a business, and take root here.

This part of the people, originally. Qin Xufei and Liu Heng had no intention of forcing them to go.

However, in the past month, the constant attack and damage from the Chu people has made everyone completely affected. Soberly realize that the hatred of blood and earth must be washed away with sweat. What a difficulty.

The people of Chu have not forgotten their hatred, and the Qin people, who have lost their army and the spokesperson of the upper class, live scattered in the land of Chu, and their future fate is only unpredictable.

Therefore, in the end, there were only more than 3,000 people who were really determined to cut off their worries and stay in the territory of Chu State. Most of them are already fathers, have children at home, or their wives are already pregnant. Therefore, even if you know that it is difficult, you can only grit your teeth and choose to stay, face and try to resolve the inevitable hostility.

A month later, Liu Heng led the assembled Qin army and officially left Chujing and headed for Qin.

The people of Qin, the local power in Chu, have completely disappeared since then.

――――――――――

Before leaving, Liu Heng specially visited Fang Qingchen once and thanked him for his support and help.

By the way, he also asked Fang Qingchen if he had anything to say for him to bring to Qin Xufei.

Fang Qingchen was unceremonious, and asked coldly: "Should I have anything to say to him?" ”

Liu Heng was not angry, he even claimed that he had made the mistake, and after a few more idle words, he got up and said goodbye.

Fang Qingchen looked at him coldly as he walked to the door of the hall, and then asked lightly: "You and his temperament are very different, how can you be a good friend for so many years?" ”

Liu Heng said with a smile: "My Highness and I have always been very like-minded, and I never feel any difference in temperament." ”

Fang Qingchen sneered: "Where can he be so polite as you can bear it." If he had been here, and I had treated him so slowly, he would have spoken out a long time ago. ”

Liu Heng looked at him with a bad look, and estimated that over the years, Fang Qingchen was afraid that he had not been less angry with His Royal Highness's straight temperament, and he was inexplicably a little funny.

"His Royal Highness has a heroic and straightforward temperament, but he is not a reckless and rude person, only for friends who really care, he can't hide his words, he can't bear it, but he doesn't mean to offend Fang Hou."

Fang Qingchen snorted coldly, but didn't speak.

willow

Looking at him, I thought to myself, really speaking, your strength and decisiveness, the cowardly emperor of the ruthless Chu State is really different, but I don't know how you formed the old alliance of friendship back then.

It's just that these words can only turn around in his heart, he is not tired of being alive yet, he categorically did not dare to say these words in front of Fang Qingchen, he just hugged his fists again and said goodbye with a smile.

Fang Qingchen didn't get up to see him off, he sat down where he was, he didn't look at him much, and before he exited the door, he said casually after all: "I've read the military report." He was surprising over there, and he won two battles. However, now all four countries already know that his army is powerful. The Three Kingdoms seemed to have put aside their differences for the time being, intentionally or unintentionally, and launched a joint siege against him, and the Yan Kingdom, which had been unable to provoke, also began to act. With his lone army, if you want to be the final winner, you think you have a chance. ”

Liu Heng smiled: "I will raise troops tomorrow to meet His Highness." With the whole army working together and Fang Hou assisting, there is still a great chance to come. ”

Fang Qingchen frowned slightly.

"When will I assist you?"

Liu Heng looked at him with a smile, Fang Qingchen snorted coldly, and didn't dwell on this topic with him, and said indifferently: "Remind him for me, don't forget our agreement, if you want his person to live well with me, he must be the one who survives to the end." ”

Liu Heng smiled and bowed deeply to Fang Qingchen: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness will not disappoint Fang Hou." ”

Care?

Fang Qingchen sighed a little weakly. Now he feels that Liu Heng and Qin Xufei should really be good friends. These two people, both of them, always have the ability to interpret other people's coldness, threats, and statements into some warm words.

Looking at Fang Qingchen's gloomy face, Liu Heng didn't dare to stay longer, and left with a smile.

And the next day, when Liu Heng led the Qin army gathered from all over the country and left the capital in a mighty manner, Fang Qingchen also did not send it.

――――――――――――

The Qin army opened.

The Chu people kept a close eye on the speed and direction of their march.

The army of the Qin people had not yet left the Chu State, and behind their butts, the Chu people could not wait to start celebrating.

The people beat gongs and drums, and banquets were held in the palace for days. However, the atmosphere in the court was inexplicably tense.

The Qin people handed over all the power, many important positions, and it was too late to send someone to take over. Even the officials of the Chu State who have handed over their positions with the Qin people have most of them on their heads in the name of temporary chargé d'affaires, and the official official positions have not yet been decided.

The southern princes, the courtiers in the court, the internal and external relatives of the royal family, and the so-called celebrities and gentry and Confucian talents who knew that there were many vacancies in the imperial court and were in urgent need of manpower, and they were eager to try.

In the court, every day they are wrestling and arguing for official positions, and in private, officials are also colluding in all directions. The princes of the south began to send a large number of cronies to Beijing. It is said that he wants to face the Holy Daohe, but in fact, he is looking for an opportunity to occupy more positions in the court. The former ministers and literati in the north also ran around to make contacts, and resolutely refused to allow the southern feudal towns to control too much power in the DPRK and China.

The little emperor sat on the dragon chair all day long, listening to the noisy courtiers below, dizzy and at a loss. And Fang Qingchen's is to close the door of the mansion, and whoever comes to visit and lobby will not be ignored.

However, although he did not come out to control the overall situation and calm down the turmoil as most people expected, in the end, he still made a statement in the court, and in private, he also asked Zhao Wangchen to hand out a few hard words.

The general meaning is that everyone fights if they love to fight, and they fight if they love to fight. If you want to get it, you have to pay, and the competition under normal circumstances is purely a benign competition, he just asks, ignores it, but if someone dares to do something out of the ordinary, he must bear all his anger.

In any case, under Fang Qingchen's deterrence, the chaos in the court did not develop any violent incidents. Most of the positions also belonged to them, and after the passage of the court, the little emperor did not dare to use the seal immediately, but first asked people to send the list to the Hou Mansion for Fang Qingchen to see.

Looking at the long list of official positions, Fang Qingchen only paid a little attention to Zhao Wangchen's position.
