Chu Du Shouchun.

The spring is just right, and the flowers are charming.

On the high platform pavilion, the king of Chu is holding two slender waist beauties, sitting on the stage to enjoy the flowers and laugh, overlooking the scenery.

From time to time, kiss to the left, arch a mouth on the right, soft in the hand, fragrant wind around the nose, beautiful and happy.

This is the day of the nobles of the Chu State.

This is the good life that he should enjoy as a king of Chu.

But there were always people who didn't open their eyes to disturb the king's happy days, and as a sound of footsteps approached, the attendants came to report that Songyang Jun Jingzhao wanted to see him.

The king of Chu's face turned dark.

Songyang Jun Jingzhao, the pillar of the Chu State.

For this minister, the king of Chu has no bad feelings, and even believes in it very much.

It was not because Jing Zhao belonged to his party, on the contrary, this person was a neutral faction, and he was quite famous in Chu and was known as a benevolent elder.

In the past, the king of Chu was responsible for killing the king and usurping the throne, and was accused by countless nobles and feudal monarchs, and some people even openly raised the flag to rebel, looking like they were going to fight a civil war.

At this time, Songyang Jun Jingzhao openly supported the rebellion on the grounds that the country relied on Changjun and was not suitable for turmoil and was taken advantage of by the Qin people.

The king of Chu was quite moved, and after his position was stabilized, he trusted Jing Zhao very much and thought that he was a good courtier.

But as the battle of Qin and Chu ended, he became more and more disgusted with Jing Zhao.

No wonder the others, this person and Xiang Yan walked too close.

And the choice Xiang Yan made during the battle of Qin and Chu made Cheng Wei angry and deeply frightened.

"Go and call Jin Xia."

The king of Chu whispered to his attendants, he didn't want to be entangled with Jing Zhao alone.

The attendant took the order and left, and the king of Chu continued to play with the two beauties for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, and then asked Jing Zhao to come in.

After a while, Jing Zhao came to the high platform under the leadership of the waiter and bowed to him.

"I don't know what happened when Songyang-kun came to see Bugu?"

The king of Chu opened his mouth and waved his hand to let the two beauties go down.

After a slight hesitation, Jing Zhao spoke, "The minister's place is for the Shangzhu Kingdom."

"Oh? The matter of the Pillar Country? Is there anything going on in the Upper Pillar Kingdom?"

The king of Chu knew that he was an advisor, but he pretended not to understand on his face, but in fact he sneered in his heart.

Jing Zhao gritted his teeth, thinking that the rumor had now spread all over the Chu capital, and the king must have heard it. Now that Shangzhu Kingdom has not returned, if he Jingzhao does not come to explain, I am afraid that the king will be suspicious of Shangzhu Kingdom.

"My lord, the minister heard the recent rumors that when the Shangzhu Kingdom was at war with the Qin people, it had the intention of supporting Gongzi Qi, so he did not return to the army Shouchun. The minister dared to say that this matter was definitely made up, and Shangzhu Guo had no such intention."

"At that time, Shangzhuguo and Gongzi Qi had no intersection, and they didn't know what kind of person the other party was, how could they have the intention of supporting each other?"

"Moreover, at the time of the Great War of Qin and Chu, the situation was very dangerous, and the sages of the above pillar country only thought of resisting Qin wholeheartedly, and wanted to unite the whole country of Chu, and there was absolutely no other intention."

"The reason why Shangzhu Guo did not return to the army at that time and chose to go north to Xiangcheng was actually because he saw through the tricks of the Qin general Zhao Tuo, and did not want to be lured south by him, giving up the opportunity to break the Mengwu. It is because of this that our Chu army was able to have a great victory that has not been seen in decades and completely drive the Qin people out of the Chu State."

The king of Chu nodded with a smile, but in fact, he was already angry in his heart.

Jing Zhao's explanation is really good.

Xiang Yan did not support Xiong Qi's heart because he didn't know Xiong Qi, and because the Qin-Chu War needed to unite people's hearts at that time.

Does that mean that when he Xiang Yan and Xiong Qi understand each other and feel that this person is suitable, and then the Qin and Chu war is over, he can have the idea of abolishing the establishment?

Then he Xiang Yan can support Xiong Qi on the throne?

Jing Zhao continued to explain: "And things are indeed as Shangzhu Guo expected, the soldiers are only a partial division in my Shouchun, so Shangzhu Guo's decision to send only 10,000 soldiers and horses back with 10,000 soldiers and horses is correct, if he withdraws all the troops, then Mengwu ......

"Hehe, Songyang-kun said this

Poor."

A sneer came, Jing Zhao turned around, and saw the right Yin Jin Xia striding over, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.

This Jin Xia is not a good courtier.

Jin Xia ignored Jing Zhao's sinking face, but said to himself, "What Songyang Jun said about the Shangzhu State sending Zhaoping to lead 10,000 people back is correct, so where is Zhaoping now?"

"Where is Zhao Tuo, the Qin general who came to my Shouchun City, now?"

Jing Zhao's cheeks twitched, knowing that he had said the wrong thing in order to explain Xiang Yan's failure to return to help.

Where is Zhaoping?

Naturally, it is dead.

Where is Zhao Tuo?

It is estimated that he returned to Qin to receive great merit.

Jing Zhao said weakly: "No one thought that that Qin general Zhao Tuo was so powerful that he could defeat Zhaoping's 10,000 army, and Shangzhu Guo didn't expect this."

Jin Xia sneered, "Yes, Shangzhu didn't expect it, but the king expected it!"

"The Great King is martial and wise, and he has long known that this Zhao Tuo is a famous general of the Qin State, and he is definitely not an enemy that ordinary people can oppose."

"That's why I ordered Shangzhu to lead a large army back and exterminate Zhao Tuo, a strange army of Qin. Who would have expected that Shangzhu State would disobey his orders, and only sent Zhaoping to bring 10,000 people, and as a result, Zhao *** was defeated by that Zhao Tuo, and the 10,000 army was broken by the 5,000 Qin army, which is really a great shame!"

"If Shangzhu Guo comes back after listening to the king's edict and leads 30,000 troops back to encircle and suppress, then Zhao Tuo'an can escape! King An can have the shame of Surabaya!"

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

Let's talk about it.

The king of Chu took a deep breath.

Although he was angry in his heart before, he was afraid of Xiang Yan's prestige that he had just won against the Qin army, so it was difficult to start.

Now, as the "rumors" spread everywhere, he knew that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise it would be too late.

But he must not be able to openly clean up Xiang Yan, or even show his malicious intent, otherwise that will be the reason for Xiang Yan and Xiong to start a usurpation rebellion.

"Jin Qing's words are too much, the Shangzhu Kingdom defeated the Qin army and created a great victory that has not been seen in decades, what is wrong with such a merit?"

The king of Chu spoke calmly, and the words he said made Jin Xia stunned, but Jing Zhao showed a smile.

It seems that this king is still wise.

The king of Chu smiled and said, "Bugu naturally won't believe the rumors, and in order to commend the merits of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and also to let the people of Chu know that Bugu will not be suspicious of the Shangzhu Kingdom because of the rumors. Therefore, Bugu is going to appoint Shangzhu Guo as my Chu State Lingyin, let him return to Shouchun, and help Bugu preside over state affairs!"

Hearing this, Jin Xia's eyes lit up.

Mingsheng ordered Yin to secretly seize military power.

The king's move, high, really high!

Jing Zhao was stunned, thinking in his heart, but he saw that the King of Chu was calm, and his words were full of affirmation and praise for Xiang Yan, and he didn't seem to be affected by the rumors.

Ling Yin, the most *** title in the Chu State.

Hold the authority of a country, be in a high position, lead the people, and take over the military and political power.

Of course, with the changes of the times, the military power of the Chu State is now mainly concentrated in the hands of the Shangzhu State and Sima.

Ling Yin's responsibilities are mainly to manage national affairs, which is equivalent to the position of the minister of other countries.

Let Xiang Yan be appointed to Ling Yin, which is indeed a high promotion and reward.

Jing Zhao thought that the Qin-Chu War had ended, even if the Qin State had the intention of attacking Chu again, I am afraid that it would be a long time before the Shangzhu State stepped down from his military post and returned to Chu to serve as Ling Yin, which was also a good thing, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Although the king is a little timid, he still understands reason.

Jing Zhao arched his hand and said, "The king is wise."

On the high platform, looking at Jing Zhao's departing figure.

Jin Xiayin said compassionately: "It is indeed a good move for the king to promote Xiang Yan to Ling Yin, which not only makes people have nothing to say, but also takes away his military power, prevents him from causing trouble outside, and facilitates the nearby surveillance, so that he does not dare to move. It's just that the boy ...... enlightened."

"Hmph, Xiong Qi...... Isn't he called the hero of my Chu country?"

"Bugu naturally wants him to continue to be a hero, and now that the Qin State has withdrawn from the army, there is no other place for Huaibei. But Wuyue, Jiangdong, has recently been attacked by Yue people, so it is just right for us, the prince of Chu, to go and serve the country."

The king of Chu had a smile on his face, and Wu Yue in Jiangdong was a lot of barbarians, so he threw Xiong Qi there and separated him from Xiang Yan to see what else they could make a name for.

Hearing this, Jin Xia praised it, turned his eyes, and said, "King, I think this Songyang Jun is probably Xiang Yan's party, but when Xiang Yan returns to Shouchun, they collude with each other, so it is better to send Songyang Jun to envoy Qi State. In this way, we can also take advantage of the power of our Chu State to defeat the Qin people, and bring the Qi State over, and even if the Qin people start another expedition in the future, we will also have the Qi State as a support."

"Jin Qing is worried about the country, and he is really a good minister."

The king of Chu nodded with a smile.

"This matter, great good."
