Chapter 88: Ambition

Changping Jun is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to govern Yingcheng, after all, he is a descendant of the Chu royal family, and he will definitely convince the local Chu people, so everyone thought of Changping Jun at the same time.

Ying Zheng thought about it for a while, and then asked Li Sidao: "According to Mr., can Changping Jun solve this matter?" ”

Li Si said lightly: "Changping Jun is certainly the most suitable candidate, but whether to reuse it or not, the king has to do more consideration." ”

Li Si's meaning is also obvious, there is no problem with using Changping Jun to solve the affairs of Yingcheng, but compared with the previous people, it may not be credible.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly, as if he felt a little pity, but this thought also flashed.

At this time, Meng Tian said: "Your Majesty, Weichen also inquired about something, although it is not a big deal, but it should be said. ”

"What?" Ying Zheng asked.

Meng Tian pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Chen once inquired when he was in Yingcheng, and heard that these mountain bandits are not scattered sand, close to the border of Chu in Yingcheng, it is said that there is a family, which is very respected, and also shelters many Chu people near Yingcheng, and these mountain bandits are also mostly related to this family. ”

"Oh?" Ying Zheng asked, "What is the surname of this family?" ”

"Last name." Meng Tian said, "This Xiang family, originally a powerful family in Yingcheng, the old capital of Chu State, had their own private soldiers, after the fall of Yingcheng, they moved to the current Chu realm, but these years are still obsessed with their homeland, and they have been secretly active. ”

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "What is the name of the head of this Xiang family?" ”

"His name is Xiang Yan." Meng Tian replied.

"Xiang Yan?" Meng Wu hurriedly said, "Xiang Yan's temple in the Chu State is also quite famous. ”

Lu Buwei also said: "The Xiang family is indeed a big family in the Chu State, and this Xiang Yan is also quite capable, but the Chu State has not had any wars this year, so it is not so famous." ”

"Indeed." Ying Zheng nodded and said, "The widow has also heard of this person, and the middle father thinks, can this person help?" ”

Lu Buwei said on the side: "It's still a little early to discuss these things, and we need to wait for Li Xin to come back and discuss it according to the situation." ”

"Then wait for Li Xin to come back, listen to what he has to say, and then make a decision." Ying Zheng said calmly.

LΓΌ Buwei nodded, then got up and asked to resign and arrange to write a letter to Li Xin after rectifying the returned army.

After Lu Buwei left, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, Ying Zheng looked at Meng Wu and his son, and then at Wang Jian and his son, and was in a very happy mood.

Li Si smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this matter of Yingcheng should be dealt with in the future, Meng Tian is cultivating grain seeds this time, and it doesn't hurt to tell General Wang's father and son about this matter." ”

Li Si's simple two sentences have already clearly expressed which is closer and which is far to Yingzheng.

Ying Zheng nodded.

Li Si arched his hand to Wang Jian and his son, and briefly told them about the cultivation of original grain seeds.

Wang Ben laughed while listening, he couldn't close his mouth with joy, and kept rubbing his fists and palms, his eyes flashed with divine light, as if he was looking forward to the scene of leading the troops to fight with enough military rations, imagining a large amount of food that could drag the opponent down and be enough to appease the people.

Wang Jian is much calmer than Wang Ben, but he is also smiling, and there seems to be another deep meaning in his deep eyes.

What even Lu Buwei didn't want to tell was now told to their father and son, what it meant was self-evident.

Mengwu father and son also listened to Li Si's narration with great taste, as if they couldn't hear enough about this matter no matter how many times they heard it.

After Li Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng smiled and said: "This grain is the most important thing in the world, the king attacks other countries to seize more territory, in order to have a variety of food, the soldiers join the army, in order to support their families, the people work all seasons, hard work, for food, with these grains, the widow not only wants to make the people of Daqin rich, but also let the people of the whole world live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer suffer from the scourge of war." ”

Ying Zheng's words were impassioned, and several people listened to it with enthusiasm.

After discussing it again, Ying Zheng said happily: "It's not too early, Wang Ben and Meng Tian have just returned to the city, and the widow wants to treat you well." ”

Several people looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, especially Meng Tian and Wang Ben, their mouths never closed.

Although there were not many people, the banquet was quite rich.

Happy events, Ying Zheng was in a good mood these days, a few glasses of wine, the more he drank, the happier he became, but it seemed that the amount of wine was much larger than before.

-------------

At the same time, it was not only Yingzheng who invited others to drink, but also the wine and food were more extravagant than those in Xianyang Palace.

Yongcheng, Qi Nian Palace.

In the melodious piano music, several dancers danced, graceful figures, graceful dancing, but their smiles were a little stiff, and their movements were a little sluggish, obviously they had been dancing for a while and were a little tired.

Changxin Hou Changyu was already a little drunk, half-leaning behind the table, and didn't seem to be fully engaged in watching the song and dance in front of him.

One of the bachelors in the seat was also not engrossed in watching the song and dance, but was peeking at Chang Yu.

After a while, after the song was finished, the bachelor asked softly, "Master Hou, it seems that you have something on your mind?" ”

Chang straightened her posture and waved her hand to signal the dancer to step back.

After a few dancers saluted, they quickly retreated.

Chang Yu took out a brocade silk from the side, beckoned and said: "This is the letter from the King of Qin to various fiefdoms, and the content in it is the warning book written by Cheng Cheng before he hanged himself, you can pass it on." ”

A chamberlain beside Chang Yu took the brocade silk and handed it to the scholars.

These bachelors are obviously Chang Yu's henchmen, and Chang Yu did this because he wanted to ask a few people what their opinions were.

After reading the first bachelor, he handed it to the second bachelor.

Without waiting for the second bachelor to take a few more looks, Chang Yu asked the first bachelor, "Liu Yuan, what do you think?" ”

The status of the bachelor known as Liu Yuan is obviously higher than that of the others, and the position is also closest to Chang Yu.

After pondering for a while, Liu Yuan said: "Hou Ye said that this brocade silk was sent to every fief and county, presumably not for a certain person, but just looking at Cheng Cheng's last words, there is a lot of remorse, it may be that he will face himself without a word, and he will hang himself." ”

"It should be like this, Ben Hou expected that Ying Zheng took such a lot of pains, probably mostly for Lu Buwei to see." After Chang Yu finished speaking, he took another sip of wine.

Liu Yuan nodded slightly and said: "The current Yingzheng has not performed the crown salute, his jealousy of Lu Buwei, everyone in the world knows, now that the Queen Mother has come to Yongcheng again, presumably Yingzheng will be even more aggrieved." ”

Chang Yu frowned, and said: "I heard that after Ben Hou was made a marquis by Yingzheng, Lu Buwei was quite dissatisfied, if he has been in power, it will not be a good thing for Ben Hou. ”

"Lu Buwei's dissatisfaction with Hou Ye is actually just jealousy, and now that he is out of Xianyang, he can't see him all year round, and he doesn't have any handle with Hou Ye, so he will definitely not ask Hou Ye for trouble." Liu Yuan said.

"That being said, it's not a long-term solution." Chang Yu said.

"Looking down, this long-term plan is that Hou Ye plumps up his wings and has the strength to compete with Lu Buwei." Liu Yuan arched his hand and said.

"Didn't Ben Hou already do this since the day he arrived in Yongcheng?" Chang Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low tone, "What's more, it's not just Lu Buwei who should be feared. ”

As soon as these words were uttered, the five guests all raised their heads in unison and looked at Chang Yu, including the one holding the brocade silk in his hand.

"What does Master Hou mean? ......" Liu Yuan asked first.

"Benhou asked for this Yongcheng, and this Yongcheng is the old capital of Qin." Chang Yu didn't answer directly, but said lightly.

A few guests went unanswered.

Chang Yu is ambitious, they know it, but they never thought that Chang Yu's ambition is so big. Seeing LΓΌ Buwei as a target to chase is already beyond people's reach, and now it seems that Chang Yu's ambition is not limited to this.

Chang Yu glanced at a few guests, and said solemnly: "You are all Benhou's henchmen, if you have no two hearts for Benhou in a red city, Benhou will give you wealth and wealth, but if you are ......"

Liu Yuan couldn't hear what Chang Yu meant, and immediately arched his hand and said: "We have already sworn to follow Hou Ye to the death, if we have different intentions, I would like to be spurned by eternity in a different place." ”

Several others followed suit.

Chang Yu raised his left hand and waved it, and said: "You don't have to make this oath, how can this marquis not be able to trust you, but this is going to be a big thing, and the oath alone is not enough." ”

One of the guests was straightforward and said, "What does the Hou Ye command, but it doesn't hurt to speak, we all listen to the Hou Ye's orders." ”

Chang Yu smiled and said: "In ancient times, there were three families, and the Tian family was in Qi, so it can be seen that as long as you are strong enough, you have the capital to become a prince or even a king, and it is obvious that today's LΓΌ Buwei is qualified to become such a figure." ”

Liu Yuan said: "According to the following, if Hou Ye wants to catch up with and surpass Lu Buwei, he still needs to start from the basics. ”

Chang Yu looked at Liu Yuan and said quite sincerely: "Tell me your opinion." ”

Liu Yuan arched his hand and said: "Master Hou, today's LΓΌ Buwei is indeed in full swing, and his toughness is not only in his official position and power, but in the collection of wise men, and the control of the situation in various countries, coupled with the military power in hand, so Yingzheng also has to be afraid." ”

"What do you mean, Ben Hou starts from these aspects?" Chang Yu asked.

"Exactly." Liu Yuan said.

Chang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "This trick is okay, but this Yongcheng is not as good as Xianyang." ”

Yongcheng, whether it is status or location, is not comparable to Xianyang in any aspect.

"Lord Hou doesn't need to recruit talented people, he only needs to recruit loyal people, and then send them out, and install them in Xianyang's Wenluo Residence, Xiangfu, and other places, and even the nations have also placed people in it, and then buy some wise men with a lot of money, and you can also get more reliable information." Liu Yuan said calmly.

"Hehe, good plan." A smile appeared on Chang Yu's face and said, "It seems that Mr. has already made up his mind. ”

"As for the army." Liu Yuan continued, "When the Queen Mother moved the palace, she brought some people, and the Hou Ye could also use this as an excuse to recruit more soldiers. I believe that as long as you give up your money, the number of troops should not be a problem. ”

Chang Yu's smile bloomed even more, and said: "Ben Hou really didn't see the wrong person, and Mr. is really resourceful." With money, it is naturally easy to do things, and this accumulation of wealth is what Ben Hou is best at. ”

Seeing Chang Yu smiling, several doormen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Yu turned around, walked to a bookshelf, picked up a box, and walked back to the wine table.

"Come and see, what it is." Chang Yu opened the lid of the box.

Several doormen approached and froze when they saw the contents of the box.

"Well, this is ......," one of the voices said in a somewhat knotted voice.

Chang Yu said calmly: "This is the royal seal of King Qin. ”

Liu Yuan asked with some confusion: "Lord Hou, I heard that the Queen Mother returned the seal to King Qin when she moved the palace, why is it in the hands of Lord Hou." ”

Chang Yu smiled and said: "Of course this is not the one in Yingzheng's hands, this is a fake that Ben Hou imitated with the Wang Xi in the hands of the Queen Mother, but it is enough to confuse the real with the fake." ”

Wang Xi has actually imitated it, which can only prove that Chang Yu has long decided to rebel and recklessly recklessly.

Several doormen looked at each other, but they didn't say anything.

"Even the Queen Mother doesn't know about this matter, and you can't publicize it." Chang Yu still seemed quite peaceful, "Since everyone has decided to conspire with each other, we must rely on each other in life and death, share honor and disgrace, from today on, you will move to the dormitory and bring your family members together." ”

Several people chuckled at the same time.

Before sharing honor and disgrace, the family first became hostages.
