Chapter 304: The Imperial Meeting

The thoughts of those ministers of Zhao who worshiped under Mencius Ke were actually known to passers-by, that is, they wanted to use this dazzling coat to make the court have some fears, but they soon realized their mistakes, because they ushered in a merciless blow from the Arrest Factory in the officialdom and their family's industry.

Gonggong Qin was still the ruler of the Zhao State.

All the decrees came from him, not His Majesty the Emperor, nor the Empress Dowager behind the bead curtain, this kind of thing is too absurd, the world cannot tolerate it, the people of insight and justice of Zhao State set off waves of attacks again and again, but the allegiance of the generals from all over the country did not care about these attacks at all, as for the assassination carried out by those officials and merchants of Qi State, it did not have any effect, and the assassins could not even break through the defense of those eunuchs and come to the front of Gonggong He.

As for poisoning...... How could the Detective Factory allow such a ridiculous thing to happen?

The only real danger Qin Da faced came from the man in black who had returned from the Western Regions.

Shen Shenfei's choice of location for the shot was very good, not a state and county with relatively weak defenses, nor a bustling street in Kyoto, but in the Detective Factory.

He waited for seven days on the beam of the cleanest toilet with a gold-inlaid toilet in the Detective Factory, and slept thirty times because of boredom and sleepiness, and finally waited for Qin Da.

The battle was really thrilling, the investigation factory was swept by like a violent wind, full of wolves, and more than 20 eunuch masters were killed on the spot.

Shen Shenfei once again proved that he was the strongest person in the world after Mo Gong.

Qin Da's strange body, powerful combat power, and especially terrifying will displayed in this assassination once again made the officialdom of Zhao State and the giant businessmen of Qi State feel hopeless.

In the end, Qin Da was seriously injured and disappeared for more than 20 days, and there were rumors that he had been hiding in the queen mother's palace these days.

Shen Shenfei was also seriously injured, and was almost buried in the sea under the pursuit of the Detective Factory and Zhao Guo's light cavalry, and was fortunately rescued by a scholar in the Qi State Academy.

It only took three days for this news to reach the Chu State, but it took a full seventeen days for it to reach the palace from the capital to Su Qingming's ears.

It was indeed difficult for the isolated emperor to know what was going on outside the palace, and of course he didn't have anything to know.

Xu Xiang made a lot of preparations before his death, the treasury and the inner treasury are very full, as long as the officialdom is no longer turbulent, it is very simple for the government to get back on track.

After the bloodbath in the main hall, Zhou Taishou promoted himself to a university scholar - the imperial seal was handed over to him by Su Qingming - other officials also have their own important uses, and Zhang Dagongzi, who is not very useful, was specially named by Su Qingming to be the Taichang Siqing, as for whether this appointment has anything to do with the prince of Chang'an City, it is unknown.

Now that General Tan is outside, and Scholar Zhou is inside, His Majesty still doesn't care about anything, and the people of Chu are living very comfortably, as if they have returned to the time when Xu Xiang was alive, and ushered in another grand event, but those who really understand can see that Chu is about to die.

This country still looks bright on the outside, but the holes on the inside have gradually appeared, extravagance, redundant officials, corruption, lax government, and all kinds of problems will break out, who will clean up when the time comes? Sadly, the state of Chu may have been resolved before these issues were resolved.

The first to focus on the fat of Chu was naturally the Qin Emperor of Qin who took sweeping the sea and unifying the four universes as his own responsibility.

That is, on the day when the Qin State Iron Cavalry went south, Gonggong He came to the place where the Zhao State and the Chu State met.

He looked at the fertile fields on the other side of the mountains and the faintly visible western camp, and uttered the famous statement.

The western camp was personally commanded by General Tan, and even though the Qin State had already sent troops, the imperial court still did not transfer him to the north, just to guard against the Zhao State.

Qin Da is not in a hurry, no matter how powerful a person is, he will die after all, he can wait.

He judged that the state of Chu would last for five years at most, because General Tan would live for five years at most.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that General Tan is only three years younger than Xu Xiang......

……

The Qin State began to attack the Chu State, and the strange thing is that I don't know whether it was because I was afraid of the hidden strength of the Chu State, or because I was worried that the Zhao State would take advantage of the fire, the Qin State Iron Cavalry, which was known for its rage, was extremely cautious this time, and it was even common to take the initiative to collect troops in late spring, and it took four full years to advance three hundred miles to the south.

Su Qingming didn't care about the world, but if he still wanted to practice in the palace, he had to pay attention to it.

Every once in a while, he would look at a summary of the military information presented by the court, and from that information, he came to an interesting conclusion: the march of the Qin army seemed to maintain a certain rhythm, and it was this rhythm that effectively controlled the intensity of the Qin army's attacks and ensured that the war would not get out of control.

It is obvious that the upper echelons of the Qin State want an intact Chu State, not a Chu State where pots and pans are broken, only in this way can they completely digest the national strength and military strength of the Chu State in the shortest possible time after conquering the Chu State, and gain absolute superiority in the final world war with the Zhao State.

The problem is that if you want hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen to act according to a certain rhythm, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and it requires extremely clever leadership ability, planning ability, and extremely delicate operation ability. Emperor Qin's art of war is like a god, but he is too violent and easy to kill, so he should not be able to do such a thing.

He realized that it should be Li Shu's handwriting.

How can there be any fallen princess who is imprisoned in the deep palace, and some are just the behind-the-scenes rulers of the Qin State, just like he is in the Chu State.

Determining that the entire strategy was set by Li Shu, Su Qingming became more and more sure of what Qin Guo wanted to do, but unfortunately, he had no way to change that matter.

In the winter of the fourth year of the Qin-Chu War, on an ordinary day, General Tan closed his eyes in the camp tent and followed Xu Xiang.

The news was like a fire, igniting the weeds that had been untended and growing wildly for four years in the field.

Those weeds have ambitions.

70,000 Qin iron horsemen went straight out of Cangzhou, and went south all over the mountains, regardless of the loss of the march and the invasion of the Chu army along the way, almost crazy and went straight to the capital of Chu.

What's even more crazy is that more than 100,000 Zhao State light cavalry divided their troops into three routes, completed the siege of the Western Camp in just seven days, and then began a silent attack.

The death of General Tan directly changed the situation in the world.

The Qin Iron Cavalry successively defeated several defenses of the Chu army, and soon passed Baihe County, and the capital was in sight.

The reason why the army advanced so smoothly was that in addition to the strength of the Qin army and the lack of combat strength of the Chu army, there was another important reason.

- The vanguard of the Qin army was the army of the Southern King, who knew the state of Chu too well and was full of hatred for the imperial court.

Under the silent attack of Zhao State, the Western Battalion did not last long, and the former elite of a hundred battles lost their backbone, and the speed of collapse exceeded the imagination of everyone, even He Zhan and the generals of Zhao State, when the remnants of the Chu State fled and evacuated, there was even a white flag hanging in the barracks when General Tan died.

Whether it is from Baihe County or Xidaying to the capital of Chu State, it is thousands of miles of plains, the land is fertile, but there is no danger to rely on, so far the general trend of Chu State has gone.

The battle ahead kept coming back to the capital, and an atmosphere of tension and despair filled the air.

The people stood in the streets, looking at the notices, looking numb and dazed. The eyes of the officials in the court and the ministries wandered, and they didn't know where to look. The scholars of the academy no longer had those spirits, and they looked into the distance with the scrolls in their despair, not knowing what they were thinking.

On the contrary, the business of the Qinglou has become excellent, and every night the buildings on the banks of the river and lake are brightly lit and full of people.

On the occasion of the survival of the nation, grief and despair at present, they have to sing songs every night, only seeking to get drunk and dream of death, which seems to be a very understandable thing for the Chu people.

The bluebird flew through the night sky of the capital, overlooking these bizarre images and humans, and landed in the deepest part of the palace.

There were no lights in the hall, and it was very dark, so you could clearly see the lights outside the palace falling into the night sky.

The blue bird paced to the end of the wide couch, looked into Su Qingming's eyes and said, "You don't have time." ”

Su Qingming snorted and didn't say anything.

If there were no Qin, Zhaoqi and other countries, the Chu people could live well on their own, but if there were strong enemies, then there would always be problems.

If Xu Xiang is still alive, this day may come a little later.

But he died, and now even General Tan is dead.

No one can control such things as life and death, and neither can Su Qingming.

Even in the real world outside Qingtianjian, he can only try to control his life and death as much as possible, and cannot affect others.

The Li family in Chang'an City, such as the Hu couple in the small mountain village, will also die one day.

The blue bird looked into his eyes quietly, and did not turn into a little girl.

Soon it would have to leave again to see the magnificent picture of the Qin army's southward march for the cultivators from the outside world.

Su Qingming was silent for a while, and with a flick of his fingers, the oil lamp on the pillar was lit.

A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the hall, and the little eunuch knelt on the ground, waiting for orders.

Su Qingming said: "Tell the people outside the palace that I will attend tomorrow's court meeting." ”
