Zhao Sheng fled all the way, and Zhao Hou ordered to kill him, but unfortunately although the nobles who opposed him failed, Zhao Hou couldn't do it if he wanted to kill them all.

The aristocracy of Zhao was also powerful, and the first two Zhao Marquis were implementing the law change, but because of the excessive resistance, the implementation was not smooth. waited until the current Zhao Hou ascended the throne, and the intensity of the change was greater.

So those nobles decided to push Zhao Sheng to fight with Zhao Hou, and it can be said that Zhao Sheng's rebellion was jointly promoted by the aristocratic forces of Zhao and Wei Hou.

It's just that none of these people are a military master like Wu Qi, which led to the dominant Zhao Hou defeating Zhao Sheng.

"Bang, corpse vegetarians, how dare they!" Zhao Hou angrily threw the bronze wine jue to the ground.

Not long ago, he ordered the blockade of the main checkpoints in the country and pursued Zhao Sheng with all his might, but before the ink on the bamboo slips of the edict was dry, Zhao Sheng had already fled through those checkpoints with a swagger, which was clearly the handiwork of those nobles.

Although Zhao Sheng failed, as long as he continued to forcefully implement the change, these people would dare to invite Zhao Sheng back again.

These people let Zhao Sheng go, just to leave a backhand, and at the same time, Wei accepted Zhao Sheng, but also to retain an excuse to interfere in Zhao State's politics.

Because of Zhao Sheng's rebellion, Zhao was unable to fight with Wei again, so he had to temporarily agree to negotiate peace, while on the other side, Chu captured many cities and defeated Wei Wushu, and Chu's confidence was great.

The feudal monarch of Chu is very strong, and this time the reform of Chu can be implemented entirely because Chu has lost to Huai and Wei in succession. was robbed of a large area of land and almost destroyed the country, which forced the king of Chu, the Qu clan and Jing Mu to forcibly push forward the change.

Then, with the help of the defeat of Wei, the strength of the feudal monarch was weakened, and the change was forcibly promoted.

This time, Chu State defeated Wei State, and Chu State and Jing Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Defeating the Wei state showed that the change was feasible.

The king of Chu jumped up happily in the palace after learning the news of Chu's defeat of Wei Wushu, and he had been under too much pressure over the years. The strength of Huai Guo made them feel like a man, and it was after the last two battles that they had a little confidence in their hearts.

Most of the pressure in his heart dissipated, and the king of Chu immediately held a banquet and feasted the ministers. The ministers of the Chu State were also very happy after knowing the great victory of the Chu army, and the banquet was extremely warm.

Since his accession to the throne, the king of Chu has been cautious, hardworking, diligent, and this time after the big stone in his heart was put down, he also let go of the wreckage for a while, and enjoyed with the minister.

The banquet of the state of Chu was held until dawn, and then the ministers left drunk, and the king of Chu was even more drunk and unconscious.

The people of the inner servant temple carried the king of Chu back to the palace to rest, but when the sun set, the king of Chu showed no sign of waking up.

Several imperial doctors tried their best to finally wake up the King of Chu, but although they woke up the King of Chu, half of his body couldn't move.

Tian Hou asked, "What kind of illness is this king?" ”

"The king got a 'sudden'." The imperial doctor said: "The king is old, and he has been exhausted all these years, resulting in poor health, the banquet the day before yesterday, excessive drinking, and violent mood fluctuations, which led to the wind evil entering the body"

"What!" Tian Hou was shocked, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted, and the maid next to him hurriedly supported him.

"Do you have a cure?" Tian Hou looked at a few people expectantly. Several imperial doctors lowered their heads one after another.

Seeing this scene, Tian Hou completely gave up his luck mentality, and hurriedly sent people to invite Qu Qing and other important ministers of the country, and at the same time sent an envoy to the front line to inform Jing Mu.

The news of the fall of the King of Chu quickly spread among the Yingdu, and the feudal lords of the country who were originally suppressed by the King of Chu, Qu Hu, and Jing Mu also got the news.

In the past ten years, these feudal lords have not had a good time at all. The state of Chu implemented the law change, and their fiefs were among them, these feudal fiefs were recovered, private soldiers were also collected, and the inheritance of titles was no longer permanent.

In addition to these feudal monarchs, a large number of nobles and scholars in the Chu State also suffered heavy losses because of the change of law. These feudal lords and nobles had been suppressed and powerless to resist, and in a few decades, these feudal lords and nobles would be completely weakened and no longer a threat.

But at this time, the king of Chu was seriously ill, which made the feudal lords and nobles of Chu suddenly see hope.

Immediately, when the king of Chu was seriously ill, there was an undercurrent surging in the Yingdu of Chu. The feudal lords and nobles of the Chu State began to carry out various tandems in private.

At the same time, the news of the serious illness of the King of Chu was also known by the secret guards of Huai State, and the secret guards immediately passed the news back to Huai State.

After Wang Pu learned the news that the King of Chu was seriously ill, he immediately realized that this was an opportunity, and immediately called Wu Qi and several other important ministers.

"The king of Chu is seriously ill and unable to deal with the government, if he takes the opportunity to attack Chu, what do you think?" Wang Pu said directly.

"Your Majesty, this is a great time to send troops to attack Chu!" Xu Qing said directly. "The king of Chu is dead, and there will definitely be chaos in his kingdom for a period of time, so we will take the opportunity to attack, how can the Chu army stop it?"

"What does Sangkook think?" Wang Pu asked Wu Qi.

"The monarch thinks that it is not appropriate to attack the state of Chu at this time." Wu Qi thought for a while and said.

"Why is that?" Wang Pu looked at Wu Qi in some surprise.

Wu Qi said: "The death of the king of Chu will indeed cause chaos in the center of Chu for a while, but everyone in Chu knows that our Huai State is on our side, and we must be prepared." ”

"And the king of Chu has changed the law to become strong over the years, the people have benefited, and the king of Chu has a very high prestige among the people's soldiers, if he takes advantage of his death to attack Chu, the king of Chu will be sad in his heart, and he will definitely form a situation of mourning, and when the time comes, my Huai army will attack, even if it wins, it will suffer heavy losses."

"This" Wang Pu wanted to take the opportunity to attack Chu, but he was also a little hesitant for a while, unwilling to lose too much.

Wu Qi continued to look through the information sent by the secret guard, and after reading a few books, Wu Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, if you want to send troops to attack Chu, the minister suggests waiting a little longer, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

Wang Pu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Does Xiangguo have a good strategy to teach orphans?" ”

Wu Qi opened the bamboo slip and pointed to the intelligence report on it: "Your Majesty, please see, the Chu State changed the law, and the feudal monarchs and nobles suffered great losses, although the Chu State changed the law for more than ten years, these feudal monarchs and nobles still have strong strength. ”

"Now that the King of Chu is seriously ill and Jing Mu is not in the country, Qu Hu alone can't suppress these feudal nobles, according to the intelligence of the secret guard, these people are likely to oppose the change." Wu Qi keenly found clues from this information and made a bold guess.

"At that time, the state of Chu will definitely be in chaos, and the king can take this opportunity to attack Chu, and he will definitely win!"

"Good!" Wang Pu laughed: "God really help me!" ”
