Zhang Minxin was very curious about what the two of Qingchen and Jinjie would make a name for themselves, so she said: "The state of Chu is now just right to use all the princes to achieve a balance in the court and check and balance the royal power. Even after Qin Xufei left, Qingchen could use his prestige and power to control the situation, and it was not impossible for it to slowly develop into a similar aristocratic political system in the future. As for Jinjie, he has such a large business network and Jianghu connections in Zhao State, after integrating the two, he uses force to ensure the safety of merchants, and after passing the initial weak period, he uses the power of merchants to balance the imperial court, find spokespersons in the power field, and check and balance the superiors, which is also a very smooth development path, but it is ......"

Zhang Minxin smiled: "Yes, as soon as Fang Qingchen dies, there will inevitably be a new round of reshuffle in the Chu State, and the final winner will establish a new imperial power." And the situation on the side of the Wind Festival is also unstable, if he is there, people can't make waves, but when he is gone, ......"

She looked at the screens in front of her with some malice, and the world was changing one after another, and the red dust was overturned: "So, what they expect can only be in vain in the end." What is carried out by their own strength will have nothing to rely on without them. However, if you want to say that you will sprinkle some seeds and influence some future generations, it is not necessarily impossible. ”

Wu Yu also stared at every classmate on the screen and smiled: "So what." They were originally angry with themselves, and it was enough to suppress the imperial power and achieve their goals while they were alive. After I die, I don't care if he floods. ”

Everyone laughed together. Alas, to put it bluntly, these people in the small building are just a bunch of students who have not really reached adulthood. Roles such as savior saints are not suitable for them to play.

――――――――――――――――――

"How can this be true? It's too much of a deception! ”

With an angry roar. All the clerical inkstones on the imperial case were all waved to the ground.

Outside the imperial study, the eunuchs on duty exchanged a few glances with trepidation, and they were extremely glad that every time Mr. Lu came to talk to the emperor secretly, they would be driven out.

In the study, Lu Zewei squatted down in silence, picked up the papers that fell all over the ground one by one, and his eyes lightly swept over the inkstone and jade paperweight that were originally valuable and were now broken into a few pieces. After all, I couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and there hasn't been a good thing recently.

First of all, two months ago, the original plan to capture Lu Dongli was completely destroyed, and the people sent out were killed and injured, and the whereabouts of Su Wanzhen's mother and son were unknown. King Zhao gritted his teeth with hatred, if it weren't for the fact that the children of the Lu family suddenly traveled in all directions and scattered all over the place, maybe he would really send a master of the Great Interior in his anger. Go and destroy him all over the house.

Of course, he didn't do it in the end, also because of Lu Zewei's persuasion. No matter how much restraining power these relatives still have on Lu Dongliang, as long as they don't completely tear their faces for a day and keep them, they will have room for maneuver for a day. What's more, the Lu family is also very knowledgeable, and they have all resigned from their official positions, which does not hinder his emperor's eyes.

King Zhao was originally a shrewd man, and he always wanted to achieve something great. Strengthen the country and enrich the people, and do not dare to act unscrupulously, after thinking about it, this evil breath is swallowed after all. However, while smiling and issuing an edict to appease the Lu family, he issued a secret decree with the power of thunder. When the whole country came to search for Lu Dongli's family, he still thought that he would soon be able to find the main owner.

Even if Lu Dongli has the help of a master, but the family of three is weak, plus a group of Jiangyang thieves who help them, the rabble, and the lala are miscellaneous, fleeing together, how can there be no trace of it. Finding them should be simple. However, he didn't expect it. In the past two months, there have been no peaceful days in Zhao State.

In three days, two court officials were assassinated, and every three or five days, there were a bunch of conclusive evidence of ink scandals, which were exposed by so-called chivalrous men of unknown origin. There are often people in the yamen in various localities who make trouble, and the officers and soldiers who usually bully the common people are often beaten half to death. Even the granaries of the prefectures and warehouses in various places have people trespassing and messing around, and when the people of the chasing land enter, they will find that the original books are full of warehouses. Most of them have been eaten up by the official moths. Even in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there have been three or four similar cases. Some people even entered the palace at night and shot knives into the records of many officials' evil deeds.

For a time, the people in the court were panicked. Officials, errands, everyone is in danger, officials everywhere are desperately looking for the so-called chivalrous in the shadows, as for what the emperor issued to find people, then deal with it for the time being. After all, the emperor is dissatisfied, at most, whether he is demoted or trained, but if he is found by those chivalrous men and lakes, and the handle is made public, the honor and disgrace of this life will be over.

The common people or everyone applauded, secretly admiring this unknown hero, as a monarch, King Zhao had to be deeply worried about this powerful and terrifying force that could not be controlled by him.

For the officials' misdeeds, he was also furious. It's not because they're greedy for ink, it's not that he doesn't know the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, he really has to investigate seriously, all over the world, except for stupid people like Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie, where can he find a few clean officials.

But these officials are not saying that you should not be greedy, but how can you be so greedy, so crazy, and so stupid! Isn't this a desperate fish? What's even more depressing is that he is so angry that he almost vomits blood, but he can't kill all these officials, otherwise there is no one in the world who can be an official with peace of mind.

Occasionally, it is necessary to arrest a few corrupt officials to deal with them, appease the people, and warn the officials, but such a large-scale and indiscriminate investigation of one ugly thing after another in the officialdom that cannot be seen is that the prestige of the court is completely lost, and even the necessary governance cannot be carried out smoothly. Therefore, he had to relax the pursuit of Lu Dongli's family for the time being, and deal with the chaos in front of him first.

In order to stabilize the minister's heart, he had no choice but to be as lenient as possible, even if he was stubborn and faced the scolding of the people, he could only deal with it as leniently as possible. Originally, he was the emperor in the past few years, because he paid great attention to the façade and was in the people

The stele has always been good, and the reputation of the Lord of Wisdom and the Lord of Benevolence has never been less than two months. Those gangs of people can't do anything, and the clear-stream characters who can scold people the most have quietly spread the words of the faint monarch and the mediocre lord among the common people.

Damn, is it that easy to be an emperor? If you can control greed by cutting off your head, stealing your home, cramping and peeling your skin, there will be no corrupt officials in this world. Now that you have asked me to kill all the officials who are greedy for money, who will run such a big country for me? These guys who don't understand anything, the more they don't have to do things, the more nonsense they have!

It's been two whole months. This kind of chaos and ugliness has never stopped, and every time he sees a new report of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, King Zhao can't help but be depressed. A long period of irritability and uncertainty has seriously affected his health. I didn't eat well in a row, I didn't sleep well, and the doctor warned me hard. was scolded by King Zhao and retracted.

In this case, King Zhao couldn't control Lu Dong's affairs for the time being, and Lu Zewei was also faintly happy for Lu Dongli. After all, their family has escaped the catastrophe now, and they should be far away from other countries. Since Yu Zhao Guo and Yu Zhao Wang, they are all harmless, and he can't bear to kill them just because King Zhao wants to make such a bad breath.

However, today, Zhao Wangdi's anger is not because of this series of events. Instead, a new big trouble is in front of us.

One is Chen Guolai's secret letter. The other was a 600-mile urgent military report from the troops stationed along the coast.

Lu Ze lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the top two copies of the documents that had been sorted out in his hand, and sighed deeply. Stood up, walked over to the imperial case, and put the paperwork away again.

There are too many things in the world that you can't do as you want. Even if it's the emperor. This heavy national problem is pressed, no matter how big your temper is, no matter how far you throw things, in the end, you don't have to pick them up one by one and reprocess them one by one.

King Zhao slammed his fist on the table: "You say, why did Chen Guo make such a request out of thin air?" ”

Chen was the only country that wanted to attack Zhao by crossing the desert, and had repeatedly attacked Dingyuan Pass before. Later, the king of Zhao and the prince of Chen secretly formed an alliance to truce the war, cooperated with each other to seize power, and after the two took control of the world, they made a treaty that the two countries would never invade each other.

"Treaty that thing. It was originally prepared for tearing. Lu Zewei's tone was cold: "Back then, he cooperated with His Majesty, firstly, because he needed His Majesty's help, and secondly, because Chen Guo had been fighting for many years and needed to recuperate. Now, nearly four years have passed, his position has been decided, and Chen Guo's vitality has recovered a lot. ”

Lu Ze sighed slightly: "After all, Chen Guo is a country based on martial arts, a country of tigers and wolves, and the people of the country attach great importance to martial arts. Chen Wang Xinli. To establish one's authority, one needs a conquest. We should rejoice. The object he chose to go on this expedition was not us. ”

King Zhao gritted his teeth: "Yes, King Qin is his father-in-law, and his daughter brought him a luxurious dowry, and he also said that he would beat him, not to mention that I was only a temporary cooperative relationship with him." But how is it possible for him to ask for 10,000 good horses as a support for him as our brotherly nation? We don't have good pastures, and well-bred war horses have always been extremely precious, and when Dingyuanguan was in its heyday, the best cavalry was less than 3,000. 10,000 war horses, give them to him for free, and my Da Zhao will have no more war horses available! ”

Lu Ze frowned slightly and said: "Give the war horse, my Da Zhao will not be able to build a decent cavalry within ten years, but Chen Guo will be greatly strengthened." If they go out to conquer the Qin State, it will be fine if they are defeated, and if they win a big victory, they will turn around with Yu Wei and attack us, and the Zhao State will be in danger. ”

King Zhao sneered: "If you don't give it, you don't think about brotherhood, you don't talk about the righteousness of the alliance, and after the Qin Dynasty, you will also turn back to us to ask for the guilt." It seems that we can only hope that this battle between them and the Qin State will be defeated. ”

Lu Ze smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's difficult." According to the news sent back by Chen Guo's spies, King Chen was clearly bullying Qin's internal strife this time, and it was a mess, and Qin Xufei was strong outside, and Qin had no available army, so he was ready to start. This time, not only Chen, Wei, and Wu, but also those countries that have an alliance with Qin by marriage, are preparing to send troops. It's ridiculous that King Qin didn't get the right throne, and in order to be recognized by all countries, he tried his best to marry his daughter in all directions, but now he is giving people a handle in vain. His sons and brothers were frustrated, and they all went to the target for help, and they also had an excuse to send troops to carve up the Qin State. In King Chen's hand, there is a handwritten letter from the fourth prince of Qin with his queen, the third princess of Great Qin, who has the same father and mother, and the slogan is that King Qin is old and mediocre, slaughtering his parents and daughters, so he wants to send troops to save his brother-in-law, and by the way, help Qin return to stability......"

Lu Ze hesitated slightly, frowned, and said: "Not long ago, Wei Guo sent an envoy to Chen State to discuss the major matter of the two families joining forces to attack Qin. Soon after Zhao Chen arrived in Chen, King Chen wrote this secret letter to His Majesty. ”

King Zhao didn't care, and shook his head: "Zewei, you're too worried." The provocation of lying on the couch will not allow others to sleep peacefully. Sooner or later, King Chen will have to deal with us, and the country is too far away from us, so it should be none of their business, and this time should be just a coincidence. ”

Lu Zewei himself was not very sure, let alone evidence, seeing King Zhao's attitude, he could only sigh and put it down and not mention it again.

Zhao Wangfu snorted coldly again: "No matter what, this battle will have to be fought sooner or later." Since giving is also beating, and not giving is also beating, it is absolutely impossible to give. This secret letter is not an official letter of state anyway, and there is no need to take it to the court, and as soon as those ministers heard that there was going to be a war, not everyone seemed to have lost their souls and wasted their bags! It's the fleet of ships in Wu State, and suddenly came to my Zhao State to show off its might, what do you think of this matter? ”

Lu Ze lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the six-hundred-mile urgent document at the top of the imperial case, and his brows were also furrowed. If the other party has bad intentions, or there is friction...... Zhao's navy is not anyone's opponent in any case.
