Ying Zheng put down the information in his hand, glanced at Fusu, and then looked at Ziyou and said

"Teacher, is there a fraud in the matter of helping Su into Chu?"

Ziyou didn't answer Ying Zheng for the first time, first nodded, then shook his head, and finally said

"The minister didn't know that Li Yuan's hand was indeed unexpected. Although Xiong Xin is the king of Chu, he has no real name after all, and Li Yuan, as Ling Yi, holds the real power of Chu in his hands, but he also needs to rely on Xiong Xin to support the state of Chu, so as to ensure his real power, so it is expected that he will set Xiong Xin as the king of Chu.

But letting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enter Chu conflicts with Li Yuan's purpose of defending his power. Although Mo Ao represents the king of Chu, the size of his power depends on the ability of the person in this position. ”

"When Mo Ao was established in the state of Chu, his position was very prominent, and he was the commander-in-chief of politics and military, and had the power to lead troops and preside over the alliance. It was originally an official position specially established by the King of Chu in order to stabilize the Qu Jingzhao three families who were separated from the sect, and it has always been held by the Qu family.

But later, when the state of Chu grew stronger, and the authority of the king of Chu no longer needed to be consolidated by the three families, the king of Chu set up Ling Yi and Sima to sit above Mo Ao and divide Mo Ao's power. And the Qu clan is also very aware that the king of Chu is jealous of them, so they gradually no longer use Mo Ao's power. Only when there were several national disasters in the Chu State or when the ministers in the Chu State were ownerless, he was elected as the regent by the officials of the Chu State. ”

"In normal times, Mo Ao's name is only in name but not in reality, and even the power is still under the Sanlu doctor. Therefore, the ministers of Chu State also slowly regarded it as an auspicious official position, in order to stabilize the official positions of Qu Jingzhao's three families. But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is allowed to enter Chu, it is naturally impossible to just become a mascot, and then it will inevitably snatch Li Yuan's power, which contradicts Li Yuan's desire to maintain his power.

In the absence of sufficient information, the minister did not know what Li Yuan wanted to do. If he wanted to borrow the hand of the Qin State, it was enough to resist Xiong Qi and only need to dedicate Xiling to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ziyou said.

Even Ziyou couldn't guess that Li Yuan had already prepared for the destruction of the Chu State, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered because of this matter. After all, no one could have imagined that Li Yuan, who was the Lingyi of Chu State and was more powerful than the King of Chu, would be able to willingly give up the power in Chu and his own hands, and always prepare for the destruction of Chu.

"Father, maybe this matter only needs to be clarified by the sons and daughters who go to Chu State." Fusu spoke.

"No way!" Ying Zheng directly rejected Fusu's proposal.

Fusu is the crown prince of Qin, and he has made Yingzheng very satisfied so far, so it is impossible for him to let Fusu take this risk. The current layout of the entire Qin State has extended from him alone to Fusu's body, and even more important than him, so even if he enters Chu, it is impossible to let Fusu enter Chu.

Fusu looked at Ziyou, he knew that he couldn't persuade his father, so he could only let Ziyou come.

"It's useless for you to look at the teacher, no one will promise this." Ying Zheng said.

"How old is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?" Ziyou looked at Fusu and asked.

"I'm thirteen years old this month." Fusu said with a tense face.

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, looking at Fusu who didn't know when he had grown a lot taller, although he allowed Fusu to participate in the government and read the chapter in Wenyuan Pavilion, but he never seemed to notice that Fusu was thirteen years old this year.

In ancient times, thirteen-year-olds were already counted as a little adult, and in some ordinary people's homes, thirteen-year-old children were already regarded as the main force of labor in the family, and even began to be asked by the family to marry a wife and have children, and even have children in another year.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gone out to open a mansion, and he has also participated in the government for three years, and he is also at the age of letting him go out to travel. According to the rules of Xiao Shengxian Village, under the age of sixteen, but the teacher thinks that it is possible, he can let him temporarily travel abroad for two years. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not study in the Little Sage Village, he also studied under Confucianism and should also abide by this rule. Ziyou said.

"Father, the sons have studied in the East Palace and the Great Qin School Palace for many years, and there are some things that the sons and daughters can only learn when they are outside. What's more, this time in Chu, Erchen will take Xiao He, Meng Yi and a group of guards, and there are 80,000 troops of my Qin State in the sixteen cities of the old land of Chu, and Sima Su, Yang Duan and two generals to guard it, so it will be fine. Fusu said.

Ying Zheng looked at Fusu, but his thoughts returned to the original time when he walked back to Qin from Handan, there were countless assassinations and interceptions along the way, and it was precisely because of this period of life and death crisis that he learned a lot, after entering Qin, especially after ascending to the throne of King Qin, what this period of life and death taught him allowed him to successfully survive before Ziyou appeared.

"You can go, but the accompanying escort must be chosen by the widow." Ying Zheng nodded and said.

"Thank you, Father!" Fusu said excitedly.

"In that case, you go down and prepare, and be ready to leave for Chu at any time." Ying Zheng said.

"No!"

Looking at the back of Fusu leaving, Ying Zheng was silent for a moment and then said

"Isn't it too fast?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs a chance, a chance to prove himself." Ziyou was silent for a moment and then continued, "Xiao He once told me that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince studied day and night in order to be able to become the prince in everyone's hearts, and he had less than three hours of rest a day, in order to become the best candidate for the prince in everyone's hearts.

On the last trip to Yuyang County, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince witnessed the suffering of the people, which dealt him a big blow, and then Chen Ping uprooted the rebellion of Yuyang County with thunderous means, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a sense of crisis of his own lack of ability. Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know that he already has an obsession in his heart, that is, to test his ability, he wants to prove his current ability too much, and the trip to Chu is the best opportunity. ”

Ying Zheng nodded thoughtfully, he used to have such an idea as Fusu, but this idea was stifled by himself because of the environment he was in, and at that time, even living became a matter of praying every day.

"Teacher Lao asked the Confucian disciples of Chu to take more care of Fusu." Ying Zheng saluted Ziyou and said that he did not order as the king of Qin, but asked Ziyou as a father.

"It's inevitable." Ziyou said.

Ziyou bowed to Ying Zheng and left. After Ziyou left the main hall, Ying Zheng shouted outside the palace

"Zhao Gao, let the nets of Chu State, Yingchuan and Dongjun all operate, and let the Six Sword Slaves protect the prince in secret. Pass the widow's order, let Sima Su, Yang Duanhe and the whole army be on standby at any time, if there is any wind and grass in Chu, go south at any time!

Li Xin and Chen Ping of the Daijun sent an order to the country, asking Zhongfu to send someone to send the 100,000 troops of Lantian to the edge of Nanjun, and let Zhang Cang mobilize the grain and grass in Shuzhong to support the Lantian army. ”

"No!"

After Zhao Guo wrote down Yingzheng's order, he sent people to summon constantly, and Wang Qian's army did not stop, Wang Jian and Li Mu continued to go north with the Qin army to subdue Zhao's city, as for the Zhao clan's clan and magnates were all to Yingzheng to guard the tomb to atone for their sins.

Fusu, who returned to his palace, summoned Meng Yi and Xiao He.

"Everyone knows the news that Chu invited me to Chu, right?" Fusu said.

"I've heard of it." Xiao He and Meng Yi nodded.

"Do you think I should go?" Fusu looked at the two of them and asked.

Fusu's move was to ask his Donggong Xima and Zuo Shuzi's views on this matter, and what to do after arriving in the Chu State.

"I don't think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should go, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of a country, and he should focus on his own safety. The fact that Xiong Han, the king of Chu, was able to die violently in the palace is enough to show that the danger of Chu is difficult to prevent, as for the Xiling and Mo Ao's positions promised by Li Yuan, they are indeed beneficial to the Qin State, but they cannot be more important than the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Meng Yi objected.

As a slave of the Ying family, Meng Yi is a hardcore supporter of Fusu, and he has only one goal, to protect Fusu's security and support Fusu's governance. So what Meng Yi said was expected by Fusu.

"I have the opposite opinion, the state of Chu must go, the land of Xiling Baili is not important, the important thing is the position promised by Li Yuan and the court of the state of Chu to give His Royal Highness the crown prince Mo Ao. I am from Chu, and I know very well the status of Mo Ao's position in the hearts of Chu people. The court of Chu may regard this position as a false position, but in the hearts of Chu people, Mo Ao is the second king of Chu.

Half of the territory of the Chu State is inseparable from the heroes who held the position of Mo Ao in the first dynasties, and then Mo Ao was set aside, but every time the Chu State was in a state of crisis, the people who were in Mo Ao would lead the Chu people to resist, and even personally represent the King of Chu to the battlefield. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to the State of Chu to serve as Mo Ao, and you are still the grandson of King Kaolie of Chu at the beginning, as long as you do something in the State of Chu, you will have a very high position in the hearts of the Chu people, which will be of great benefit to the surrender and governance of the Chu people after the State of Qin conquers the State of Chu. Xiao He said.

As a Chu person, Xiao He understands too well what the Chu people think in their hearts, the Qin State has captured the Chu State, and the Chu people will not be completely convinced by the Qin State in their hearts, otherwise the Chu State would have perished long ago when it was destroyed by the Wu State. The tenacity and wildness in the bones of the Chu people are incomprehensible to other countries, Xiao He knows this, if he wants the Chu people to obey the Qin State, he can only use a person who is convinced in the hearts of the Chu people to govern them, and let them gradually become Qin people in their hearts.

And Fusu is the best candidate for this, with the blood of the Chu royal family, or Mo Ao, who was willingly pushed out by the court of Chu, as for reputation, as long as Qin and Confucianism make a casual move, Fusu will have all kinds of reputations, even if it is not Fusu's doing, they can also get it in the name of Fusu.

"Then what do you think we should do after we enter Chu?" Fusu looked at Xiao He and asked earnestly.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wait a moment."

After Xiao He finished speaking, he left the main hall, leaving Fusu and Meng Yi behind.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you insist on going to the Chu State, please be sure to bring the army." Meng Yi said to Fusu.

"Don't worry, my father will be ready for these things." Fusu said to Meng Yi with a smile.

Hearing Fusu's words, Meng Yi also understood in his heart that the matter of going to Chu State had been decided, and Fusu asked this to ask them what they thought of Chu State and what they should do after entering Chu State.

When Xiao He came back, Xiao He had an extra piece of music in his hand, but this letter was not a paper letter, but a bamboo slip, which should have existed for some years.

"This is what the minister saw and heard in his hometown at the beginning, and after entering Qin through the imperial examination, he analyzed the problems existing in the Chu State and put forward some rough opinions, which may be useful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao He said.

Fusu took the bamboo slip and opened it, and as his eyes moved, Fusu's was completely caught in this governance note. Xiao He's letter was not from the officials, nor was it aimed at the problems of the Chu court, but at the problems of the people of Chu.

Among them, being listed as one of the three evils by Xiao He made Fusu even more pleasantly surprised, first of all, the theory of ghosts and gods prevailed, and wizards and magnates colluded to oppress the people. The second is that the Chu people are more arrogant and ruthless. Third, the southern part of Chu is mostly wild, the people are sparse, and there is a lack of development.

There are also some backward customs and the like that exist in the Chu people, and finally Xiao He proposed some methods.

Fusu put the song down, rubbed his head and said

"At the beginning, the young master recommended you to wash the horse for my East Palace, I was a little skeptical of your talent at first, but now it seems that you are just as the young master said, you have the ability to govern the country and secure the country."

"It's the Tai Lieutenant's appreciation, these are just some of the minister's humble insights, and they can't be compared with the Tai Lieutenant's talent at all." Xiao He said flatteredly.

"No, what the young master said is right, you do have the ability to govern the country and secure the country." Fusu said seriously.

Meng Yi on the side also looked at Xiao He in surprise, having worked with Xiao He for so long, he knew that Xiao He was quite talented, and even crushed him, but he didn't expect Xiao He to get such high praise from Ziyou.

"As long as these things are useful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is not in vain that the ministers went to great lengths to collect these things." Xiao He said with a smile.

"Not only useful, if you succeed in entering Chu this time, you will be the first merit." Fusu said excitedly.

Xiao He did not refuse, but began to explain to Fusu what was in the sparse play.

Yingdu, Changping Jun Xiong Qi naturally also knew the news that Li Yuan wanted to let Fusu enter Chu, even if he was unfathomable in the city, he almost broke his defense when he knew the news.

"Li Yuan is not so useless!" Changping Jun Xiong Qi said.

Fan Zeng glanced at Xiong Qi, the murder of Xiong Han was designed by him and Changping Jun together, and now when their plan was about to succeed, he didn't expect Li Yuan to break the situation in such a way.

"Perhaps, we can do it again?" Fan Zeng proposed.

Changping Jun glanced at Fan Zeng coldly and said

"Believe it or not, if there is a slight accident in Fusu, the Qin State can give up the Zhao land, which is not stable now, directly attack the Chu State, and slaughter the Chu State cleanly."
