Chang Wenjun was sent to Shouchun, which should also be the signal of King Qin, in order to help Fusu increase his strength, and now the crown prince Fusu is almost reaching adulthood. If we give up part of the credit for stealing the country to Chang Wenjun at this time, we will inevitably make him grateful to Lord Ling Yin. Chang Wenjun is the uncle of Prince Fusu, and having a relationship with him is equivalent to deepening the relationship with Prince Fusu. After all, Lord Ling Yin is a foreign minister, if he wants to continue to maintain his glory and wealth after the destruction of the Chu State, he must be better with the ministers of the court of the Qin State.

Mr. Ziyou has a very good saying, the icing on the cake is always not as good as sending charcoal in the snow to make people remember, we are now giving Chang Wenjun the credit, that is, sending charcoal in the snow, with the merit of stealing the country, plus supporting the prince Fusu to become the king of Chu, it can be said that it is half of the dragon's work. After returning to the Qin State, Chang Wenjun will inevitably be activated again, and the glory and wealth of Lord Yin will be even more solid. Mr. Song said.

"Sir, I can understand what you said, but we give credit to Chang Wenjun, how can Chang Wenjun help us get rid of the Chu clan and the old magnates? He only brought hundreds of guards with him to Shouchun this time. Li Yuan said.

"Juyang, don't forget that Juyang has the elite of the Qin army stationed, as long as the elite of the Qin army moves, do you think Cai Cheng's army dares to move? As long as Cai Cheng's army does not move, he secretly let Chen Wei lead the army to Shouchun, and then the Praetorian Guards and Chen Wei's army should cooperate with the outside world to eliminate those stumbling blocks that hinder things in one fell swoop. Mr. Song said.

"Okay, although I gave up part of the credit, but I made friends with Chang Wenjun, and it also increased our certainty, we can do it." Li Yuan then asked, "How should I go and talk to Cheng Wenjing about this?" ”

He can't go directly to the door to find Chang Wenjun and say that he wants to cooperate with the other party to steal the country and help Su to become the king of Chu, right? In that case, Chang Wenjun would definitely think that he was testing him.

"We don't need to do anything, we just need to let hint at the threat to us from Chang Wenjun, the Chu clan and the old magnates, Chang Wenjun will naturally understand, and tell him that we want to use the army of Juyang of the Qin State to deter Cai Cheng's army." Mr. Song said.

"Mr.'s talent really makes Li Yuan admire, with Mr.'s assistance, I am really fortunate to have three lives." Li Yuan said gratefully.

"In his position, seek his position, and treat me with courtesy, I will surely be the king before and after the saddle." Mr. Song arched his hand and said.

"Okay, I'll contact Chang Wenjun and prepare to invite him over for a while." Li Yuan said.

"The rest is up to you." Mr. Song smiled and saluted and left.

Li Yuan sent people to prepare the banquet and sent people to invite Chang Wenjun.

After Mr. Song left Li Yuan's study, he left Ling Yin's Mansion directly, and when he was sure that no one was following him, he quickly turned into a courtyard. A young man in a Confucian robe was waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Big brother, if you don't disgrace your mission, I finally persuaded Li Yuan to do it directly." Mr. Song said as he sat on a stone bench.

"It's hard second brother, this Li Yuan is not only greedy but also cautious, he actually wants to monopolize the huge credit of stealing the country, and he doesn't do it before he is completely sure, it really wastes a lot of our time." Mr. Song's eldest brother said.

"What does the family say?" Mr. Song asked.

"The family has only praise for you now, and our Song family has finally survived to the end of the day." Mr. Song's eldest brother said.

The Song family in their mouth is the Song family, a branch of Taoism. They tried many times to get the Taoists to recognize their family's teachings, but the Taoists always believed that they were all small Taoists, and neither the Human Sect nor the Heavenly Sect recognized them. And they are not like the Yin and Yang sects that can directly divide into sects and directly form a big sect by themselves, so they have been thinking of ways to make Taoists recognize themselves or accumulate strength to strengthen the family and spread their own doctrines over the years.

Now the situation of the Chu State just gives them a chance, the Taoists don't want to recognize them, so they want to climb the Qin State, as long as they climb the Qin State, the Taoists will not recognize them at that time, they can also use the power of the Qin State to really open the door and establish a faction, instead of claiming to be a family.

"The next thing is for me to contact Chang Wenjun, as long as Chang Wenjun knows the efforts of our Song family behind the scenes, and when the crown prince Fusu becomes the king of Chu and merges the Chu State into the Qin State, it will be the day when my Song family will come out." Mr. Song said.

"Okay, I will continue to send people from my family to keep an eye on the Chu State Clan, as long as they make any moves, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Mr. Song got up and left the courtyard, and began to think about what kind of way to meet Chang Wenjun, so as to tell the other party all the efforts of the Song family behind the scenes.

On the other side, Chang Wenjun, after learning that Li Yuan invited him, after hesitating repeatedly, decided to go to Li Yuan's mansion for a banquet, and at the same time secretly prepared a lot of back-ups, as long as he had any mistakes, everyone in their mission would immediately leave Shouchun and ask for help from the Qin army in Dangyang City.

After Chang Wenjun came to Li Yuan's house, Li Yuan repeatedly persuaded Chang Wenjun to drink, and then vomited bitterness.

"Chang Wenjun doesn't know, my situation in the Chu State is not as good as your situation in the Qin State!" Li Yuan said.

"Lord Ling Yin laughed, who doesn't know that you are in a high position in the Chu State, and now you are in the Chu State just like Yi Yin was to Taijia at the beginning!" Chang Wenjun said with a smile.

Hearing Chang Wenjun use himself to compare Yi Yin, even if Li Yuan was thick-skinned, he would inevitably be a little ashamed, and his face was a little hot. Chang Wenjun didn't notice Li Yuan's changes, but felt that the flush on Li Yuan's face was caused by drunkenness.

"You're really kidding, how can I compare to Yi Yin? If I had one-ten-thousandth of Yi Yin's talent, I wouldn't be in the predicament I am in today. Li Yuan waved his hand and said.

Seeing Li Yuan repeatedly talk about his predicament, this made Chang Wenjun also feel curious, Li Yuan's status and power in the Chu State are really like the original Yi Yin, who can canonize the king and expel his own king at will, but Yi Yin is to teach Taijia, and Li Yuan is purely for his own power.

"You may not know that the king's health has no chance of getting better." Li Yuan said.

Nonsense, Xiong Huai's corpse is starting to stink, how can it still get better? Chang Wenjun said in his heart.

"Now, there are some rumors in Shouchun City, saying that the king has already died of illness, and I, Li Yuan, have controlled the palace of the king of Chu for my own power, and I have not allowed everyone to leak the news of the king, and have seized the body of the king, so as to maintain my power." Li Yuan's voice recorded helplessness and anger, and even a trace of grievance.

Chang Wenjun naturally wouldn't be confused by Li Yuan's acting skills, after all, he was the one who knew that the King of Chu was dead, but Li Yuan was now mentioning this matter to him, which made Chang Wenjun cautious in his heart.

"Lord Ling Yin turned the tide and saved the Chu State when the Chu State was in trouble many times, how could he murder his own king? These gossips must have been deliberately spread by others to slander you. Chang Wenjun said along with Li Yuan's words.

Li Yuan directly smashed the wine jue in his hand on the table and said angrily

"That's right, these words were deliberately spread by the clan and the old magnates, they thought that the king's body was no longer good, so they had other ideas about the position of the king of Chu, so they wanted to ruin my reputation, so that I had no one to help, so as to seize my position, and then establish a king they wanted!"

Chang Wenjun looked at Li Yuan in surprise, but Li Yuan didn't care about Chang Wenjun's surprise and continued

"Thinking that Yin of my country was forced into a Jedi by these people, it really hurts my heart, I feel sorry that I have no military power in my hands!"

Looking at Li Yuan, who was crying bitterly, Chang Wenjun's brain was running wildly, and combined with what Li Yuan had done before, a bold idea rose in Chang Wenjun's heart.

"Lord Lingyi, you are laughing, who doesn't know that the elite army of the Chu State is all under your control, how can the clan and the old magnates have military power?" Chang Wenjun's words also began to be explicit, wanting to use this to test Li Yuan.

Li Yuan also caught this, and then said with tears in his eyes

"You may not know that my Chu State has been divided for many years, and Xiong Qi, a rebellious minister and thief, not only betrayed the Qin State, but also split my Chu State, and even sent troops to attack many times, wanting to kill my king. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin State saw that our Chu State was a country of allies and brothers, and the two countries were even more in-laws for many years, so that Yang Duan and the general were stationed in Zeng Xi's two places, as a barrier for our Chu State, blocking the attack of Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan, the two rebels, otherwise my Chu State would have been made miserable by these two traitors.

But the country of Chu is so big, especially the two cities can be protected, in order to ensure the safety of the people of my Chu country, I sent all the elite troops to Xiling to block the attack of the rebels. Now that the Qin State is finally going to conquer Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan, the two rebels, I handed over the army of Xiling to Mo Ao of the Chu State and Fusu, the crown prince of the Qin State. Fusu Gongzi asked Yang Duanhe to lead a large army to conquer the two rebels, and I also agreed with both hands, wanting to destroy Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan, so as to reunify my Chu State.

However, my fist heart was actually used by the clan and the old magnates, and while the army in my hands was out to fight, I used my army in Caicheng and Quyang to launch a coup d'état, kill the king, kill me, and establish a king of Chu they wanted. ”

Listening to Li Yuan's words, Chang Wenjun already understood a little in his heart, and he was thinking about whether to conspire with Li Yuan. Li Yuan looked at Chang Wenjun, who was deep in thought, and did not ask any more questions, but cried in a low voice and waited for Chang Wenjun's reply.

After thinking about it again, Chang Wenjun had already made a decision in his heart.

"How can this be reasonable, they are so to Lord Ling Yin, and to the Chu State! As an ally of the Chu State, I, the Qin State, absolutely cannot see such unscrupulous people acting perversely in the Chu State! Chang Wenjun slapped the table and said, but then said helplessly

"It's just that I don't have more than 100 guards around me now, and I'm not a master, so the plane crash helped Lord Ling Yin."

"No, Chang Wenjun's words are wrong, it is not that Chang Wenjun needs to be personally involved, as long as Chang Wenjun helps me drag Cai Cheng's army, Chen Wei of Quyang is already used by me. As long as the defenders of Juyang of Qin State make a move southward, Caicheng's army will definitely not dare to move, and I will be able to clean up Chu's internal affairs at that time. If the king is really unfortunate at that time, I will have time to support a new king. Li Yuan said.

"Okay, the country of Chu is in trouble, and my Qin State must not be able to ignore it, so I will repair a letter and let the king know the heart of Lord Ling Yin, and I believe that the king will definitely fulfill Lord Yin." Chang Wenjun said.

"Then thank you Chang Wenjun." Li Yuan said happily.

"It's all for the people of the world!" Chang Wenjun said with a smile.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile

"It's all for the people of the world!"

Chang Wenjun refused Li Yuan's invitation to stay overnight after getting drunk, and returned to the Qin embassy after his escort arrived.

After entering the embassy, Chang Wenjun, who was originally drunk, sobered up instantly, and then after determining the situation in Chu, he repaired two letters again and sent them to Xiling and Xianyang.

The next day, Shouchun was still as calm as usual, but he didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging under the calm surface.

After receiving two letters from Chang Wenjun in a row, Fusu brought Meng Yi and Xiao He to discuss countermeasures. After reading the information sent by Chang Wenjun, the two also began to sort out their thoughts.

From this point of view, Li Yuan's position is very clear, and the reason why he made many inconsistent moves is to confuse the Chu clan and the old magnates. What Chang Wenjun said is reasonable, but there is only one place that still worries me a little. Xiao He took the lead in saying.

"Where?" Fusu asked.

"That is Chen Wei of Quyang, as far as I know, this Chen Weinai's family is one of the old magnates of the Chu State. The Chen clan was originally the wang clan of Pengcheng, and I also heard of their reputation when I was in Pei County, and after Pengcheng was occupied by our Qin State, the Chen clan moved to Quyang. With such a family loyal to the Chu State, how could Chen Wei take refuge in Li Yuan and thus be used by Li Yuan. Xiao He said.

"What do you mean is that this Chen Wei was deliberately released by the old magnate to confuse Li Yuan, in order to lower Li Yuan's vigilance, so as to give Li Yuan a fatal blow at a critical time!" Fusu said with a slight surprise.

"Chen is not sure, but according to the background of the Chen family, it is very likely that they will do so. Li Yuan controlled the forbidden army of the Chu Palace, although the number of people was not as large as that of the clan and the old magnates, but the strength and equipment were not comparable to them. Xiao He continued.

"If Chen Wei of Quyang is really deliberately asked by the Chu State Clan to defect to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan does something against the Chu State Clan and the old magnates, then Li Yuan will definitely die." Meng Yi said: "But we are not impossible. In addition to the garrison in Juyang, we also have 5,000 soldiers in Feiling that can be mobilized. ”

"How did Lone forget Feiling!" Fusu patted his forehead and said.

When the water bandits were exterminated in Feiling, Fusu killed the Feiling county lieutenant who had colluded with the water bandits, thus controlling the Feiling garrison.

Feiling is closer to Shouchun, and it will definitely be faster than Chen Wei in Quyang at that time, if Chen Wei is not a member of the clan, it is the best, if Chen Wei really deliberately defected to Li Yuan, then Feiling's army can attack Chen Wei's army from the rear at a critical time.

"There are still 20,000 elites of our Qin army in Xiling, if they are allowed to wear the clothes of the Chu army and let them go to Feiling, so that they can go north together to support their uncle, even if Chen Wei brings out all the defenders, it will be enough for them to have no return!" Fusu then said.

"No." Meng Yi hurriedly said, "Chang Wenjun repeatedly emphasized in his letter that the situation in Shouchun is unclear, you can't go to Shouchun, and at the same time, we must also strengthen protection, so as to prevent villains from making trouble, if the 20,000 elites of Xiling City are transferred to Shouchun, Your Royal Highness the Prince, your safety will be in question." ”

"Once the war starts, my uncle's safety is also very dangerous, and Gu will not transfer the entire army, only half of it. Let these 10,000 people set off in batches, and no one else will find out. Fusu shook his head and said.

Meng Yi wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Xiao He with his eyes.

"Xiling City is already under control, and it is not impossible to mobilize 10,000 people to go north in batches. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also needs to repair another letter to convey to Chang Wenjun, so that Chang Wenjun can remind Li Yuan that Chen Wei may have changed. Xiao He said.

"Lone knows."

Xiao He and Meng Yi retreated, and after the two left the courtyard, Meng Yi asked

"Why did Brother Xiao stop me just now? The safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most important thing. ”

"Of course I know, but the danger of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not only in the Chu State, but also in the future. If Chang Wenjun is unfortunate in this incident, it will be a real danger to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Chang Wenjun is the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a relative, even if he is not reused now, he is always the most loyal supporter and backing of His Royal Highness the Prince. If he has an accident, the Chu family will fall apart after a short time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will also have some indelible scars in his heart. Xiao He said.

Hearing this, Meng Yi stopped talking, yes, now Fusu is indeed in the limelight, the king loves and trusts, the courtiers support, and the people support it, but this is only now, no one can guarantee that in the days to come, Fusu will still be like this. Once anything happens, it is still two to say whether the ministers gathered around Fusu will still support Fusu, but only the relatives will not change. Chang Wenjun is Fusu's uncle, no matter what Fusu does, he will definitely support Fusu.

"It's me who didn't think it through." Meng Yi said.

"It's not that Brother Meng is not thoughtful, but Brother Meng doesn't know what is going on, Brother Meng was born in the Meng family, and the Meng family's loyalty to the Qin State naturally doesn't need to say anything, so you will fall into the misunderstanding, thinking that everyone is loyal to the Qin State as well, loyal to the king, and loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao He said.

Meng Yi just nodded and didn't speak.

After Fusu finished writing the letter, he asked people to quickly send it to Shouchun, and at the same time, he also sent people to communicate with the county lieutenant of Feiling, and the elite of the Qin army in Xiling City also began to be secretly mobilized.
