Zhu Xiang's smile faded a little: "But I originally planned to wait for the Qin State to come one day to pick up the proton and return to China, and then return to the Qin State with Zheng'er." In my expectation, I would stay in Zhao for at least ten years, and then enter Qin as an unknown person with a very calm mood. ”

Huang Xie was silent for a long time and said, "But the situation is pressing. ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Yes, the times are compelling, and the world makes people." ”

Huang Xie sighed: "It seems that I am indeed more than one step late." ”

Zhu Xiang put his hand to his mouth and said in a low voice: "Actually, without Zichu and Zheng'er, I'm afraid I can only enter Qin." At that time, the ancestor was in Changping, and when he let me go back to Handan, he knew that I would be jealous of King Zhao, so he let me go with the front foot, and sent Wu Anjun to Handan to pick me up from the back foot. ”

The corners of Huang Xie's mouth twitched: "No wonder the Qin army came so quickly." is worthy of King Qin Zhao. ”

Zhu Xiang couldn't help nodding. That's right, he is worthy of being the famous Great Demon King of the Warring States. When Bai Gong told him about this, Zhu Xiang was so frightened by the old King Qin that his hairs stood on end.

Huang Xie looked at the easy-going smile on Zhu Xiang's face, rubbed his fingers on the teacup, and said, "I heard Lin Qing say that King Qin was jealous of you, so he detained you in Xianyang Palace?" ”

Seeing that Huang Xie was straight to the point, Zhu Xiang knew that he was suspicious of Lin Zhen's words.

Zhu Xiang smiled: "It was he who misunderstood." In fact, I voluntarily entered the palace to take care of the monarch and Zheng'er. ”

Huang Xie asked: "It sounds like this, the friendship between Changping Jun and the Qin King is very deep. But why didn't Chang Pingjun serve in the court? ”

Zhu Xiang said solemnly: "Because the court needs to get up too early, it will affect the rest." ”

Huang Xie: "...... do you think I believe it?"

Zhu Xiang smiled: "I know you don't believe it, but it's true that I don't want to go to the court." There are countless talents in the court, and I am the only one who can farm in the field, and of course I will stay where I am needed most. After the period of filial piety, I will also leave Xianyang and continue to farm as before. ”

Zhu Xiang tapped his fingers on the teacup, looked at the ripples on the tea and said, "How useful my farming is, Chun Shenjun should have experienced it himself." ”

Chapter 110: Lin Yi Dog Gnaws Mud

After Zhu Xiang said this, the smile on Chun Shenjun's face faded.

He looked straight into Zhu Xiang's eyes, trying to see through the heart of this world-famous sage.

Anyone who hears Zhu Xiang's reputation will be curious whether Zhu Xiang is really a true gentleman who is as glorious as the rumors, or is he overly famous in the world.

The scholars of the Six Kingdoms all hoped that Zhu Xiang's reputation was excessive, otherwise how could they explain Zhu Xiang's full support for the most tyrannical King of Qin? Isn't that aiding and abetting?

After Huang Xie listened to Lin Zhen's words that Zhu Xiang was snubbed by King Qin, he was really deceived at that time. But when he returned to his lodgings and thought about it, he found that there were many loopholes.

In the years after Zhu Xiang entered Qin, King Zhaoxiang of Qin acted in a completely different style from before.

Although the previous King Qin Zhaoxiang gave the Six Kingdoms a headache, he was only a male lord who could be predicted.

Huang Xie once accompanied the King of Chu who was a proton in the Qin State to live in the Qin State for ten years, and he thought that he knew the Qin State and the Qin King very well.

The state of Qin and the king of Qin were indeed powerful, but they did not break away from the other six kingdoms too much. When the other six kingdoms were strong, the male lord was about the same as the king of Qin.

But after Zhu Xiang entered Qin, the irascible Qin State suddenly became quiet, which made Huang Xie feel afraid.

Quietness does not mean that the Qin State has lost its dangerousness, but it is more dangerous. Everyone knows that the beast is gathering strength when it is quiet.

Qin State is abnormal, there must be a reason behind it.

Except for Zhu Xiang, who entered Qin, what other reasons could there be? It must have been Zhu Xiang who influenced King Qin's decision-making.

Judging from this result, Zhu Xiang was by no means unfavored in the Qin State. Although he is not in the court, he can also participate in the national affairs of Qin.

When the news of Qin's increase in production came, Huang Xie began to persuade the king of Chu to take advantage of Qin's quietness and unite other countries to jointly crusade against Qin.

I heard that Zhu Xiang was able to double the yield of the common people's fields when he was in Zhao State, how stupid was King Zhao to turn a blind eye?

If the output of the country's common people's fields has doubled, how much more taxes can the state collect? How much more population to feed? How many more soldiers are cultivated, and how much grain and grass are saved?

The King of Qin had conquered so much territory in the Six Kingdoms before, but no one thought that the King of Qin would be able to unify the Six Kingdoms. It's like the state of Chu destroyed more than a hundred small countries, and the Central Plains and the state of Qin did not take the state of Chu seriously.

The land that King Qin swallowed now would immediately spit out as soon as the situation was turbulent. This has been the case for hundreds of years.

But Cai Ze cooperated to guard the Shangdang Heights and repelled the Wei State and the small battles that were not famous in the harassment of Korea, which made Huang Xie see something different.

Hearing that Cai Ze was defending the city, the common people of Shangdang Heights, who had only recently belonged to the Qin State, spontaneously helped the Qin soldiers. Even if such help is not recorded as military merit, it is reasonable to say that it is only dangerous and not beneficial to the common people.

When the Qin State attacked the Shangdang, the people of the Shangdang fled to the Zhao State with their families. It's only been a few years?

Even when the cities in the hinterland of the country were attacked, whoever won the common people would pay taxes, and Huang Xie had never seen ordinary people in any country die for the country.

In addition to soldiers, there are only soldiers of noble character who die for the country. The common people are like domestic animals, and the domestic animals do not care which owner they belong to.

This incomprehensible thing made Huang Xie fearful, and it was like a seed buried in Huang Xie's heart.

After Li Mu occupied Nanchu, this seed began to take root and sprout.

Huang Xie was the most radical aristocrat of the Chu State. The state of Qin occupied Southern Chu, and even though the king of Chu and the great nobles did not move, Huang Xie also sent people within his own power.

Even if he couldn't recapture Southern Chu in one fell swoop, he would have to create trouble for the Qin State to occupy Southern Chu.

Huang Xie thought it would be easy.

The state of Chu occupied the land of Southern Chu for so many years, but it was not able to subdue the remnants of the old country. As long as there is a slight provocation, the remnants of the old country and the barbarian natives in the land of Southern Chu will definitely rebel. The Chu people who stayed in the land of Southern Chu must want to return to the Chu State.

But it backfired, and all of Huang Xie's provocative methods sank into the sea, and the ripples were not as big as the original waves of the sea.

The people he sent reported that the reason for the failure was that Zhu Xianggong came.

Zhu Xianggong first sent people to verify the fields of the locals, and then based on the fields already occupied by the common people, he evenly distributed the uncultivated fields and the fields confiscated from the nobles to the local people.

After having the land, neither the Chu people, the remnants, nor the migrating Qin people were willing to cause chaos, and they also reported to the Qin soldiers to receive rewards, causing them heavy losses.

Huang Xie asked angrily: "The Qin people are cunning, how can they believe that the Qin people really gave them the land?!" ”

The subordinate replied: "Because it was Zhu Xianggong who divided the land for them." ”

Huang Xie was at a loss.

No matter how loud Zhu Xianggong's name is, it won't spread to Nanchu, right? On this day, how could the people of Southern Chu know about Zhu Xianggong? How could you trust Zhu Xianggong?

The subordinates also couldn't say why. He only knew that the people of Southern Chu were full of praise when they mentioned Zhu Xianggong, as if they knew Zhu Xianggong very well, as if they had seen Zhu Xianggong.

Huang Xie was even more dazed. As one of the four sons of the Chu State, he is only famous among scholars. If you ask who the commoner Chun Shenjun who is not his fief is, most of the commoners will be at a loss.

Not to mention Chun Shenjun, those ignorant commoners may not even know who the king of Chu is. They only know that this is the state of Chu, and it is the king of Chu who rules them.

Naturally, he didn't know that the common people of Southern Chu didn't know who Zhu Xiang was, but when Zhu Xiang cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and walked the fields to personally guide them in farming, the reputation of "Zhu Xianggong" spread.

Many peasants in Southern Chu did see Zhu Xiang with their own eyes, and even talked to Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang's words now made the tree of fear in Huang Xie's heart, which grew stronger and stronger because it was incomprehensible, even taller. The anxiety burned Huang Xie's heart, making him a little breathless.

He looked straight at Zhu Xiang as if he were looking at a monster in human skin.

Daxian or not, if it's too out of the ordinary, it's also a monster.

"Zhu Xianggong, your farming skills are indeed very useful." Because of fear, Huang Xie's voice became sharp, and his tone seemed to be questioning, "But I always thought that your ability was to make the treasury more abundant." ”

Zhu Xiang looked at Huang Xie's expression and put away the smile on his face.

Li Mu once caught the spies sent by Chun Shenjun to disturb Southern Qin. Judging from the seized letters, the spies attributed the failure of their mission to "Zhu Xianggong".

When Lin Zhen went to the Chu State, he deliberately collected information about the nobles of the Chu State about his views. Chunshenjun Huang Xie paid special attention to "Zhu Xianggong", and mentioned to the king of Chu, "Zhu Xianggong has the ability to confuse the people, and the fact that the Shangdang and the people of Southern Chu spontaneously helped the Qin soldiers is related to Zhu Xianggong."

In addition, the Chu State is heavy on ghosts and gods, and he has cut down mountains and broken temples, and rumors have appeared among the Chu people that they are "ghosts and gods".

However, generally they do not say that they are ghosts, but "monsters".

When Zhu Xiang heard Lin Zhen say this, he was stunned for a long time.

Then, he smiled at Lin Zhen and said, "Chu people are not wrong, I am indeed a monster. ”

Lin Zhen thought he was joking. Zhu Xiang was actually not joking.

The abnormality of things is a demon. Isn't a demon a monster? He is a monster in this day and age.

After listening to Lin Zhen's plan and seeing Huang Xie's temptation of him, Zhu Xiang thought of this matter.

Perhaps he could take advantage of this.

"Farming produces more food, and food not only fills the treasury, but also fills people's stomachs." Zhu Xiang said, "I know what you sent people to the land of Nanchu to do. You must be wondering why the Chu people don't help you. What's so confusing about this? They believe that I can keep him from starving, so they are willing to be Qin. ”

Huang Xie's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

He didn't expect Zhu Xiang to say his heart so directly, he had never encountered this situation after many years of confrontation with nobles.

Even when they confronted the most powerful strategists, they were also side-by-side and roundabout polemics, but Zhu Xiang was like a rude person, asking and answering questions and answers directly, without caring about his face.

Is it because Zhu Xiang was originally a rough person and a commoner?

"Chunshen-kun, I know what you're thinking. The aristocracy will not express their hearts directly. You think, I don't look like a nobleman, I deserve to be a commoner. Zhu Xiang smiled, "But Chun Shenjun, isn't this my advantage?" Who farms for the country? Who is in service for the state? Who fights for the nation? It's just the common people. ”

Huang Xie asked, "Zhu Xianggong, why are you saying this to me?" ”

He couldn't understand why Zhu Xiang said these words at all.

The fear of the unknown in his heart was even greater.

"You can think of it as showing off." Zhu Xiang filled himself and Huang Xie with tea, "I'm showing off my talents, and I'm also showing off the honor I got in the Qin State. ”

Huang Xie was even more incomprehensible in his heart: "Why do you want to show off to me? Is Zhu Xianggong a vain person? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Although I am indeed a vain person, this show off is not for this reason. ”

He smiled and said, "I know that Chun Shenjun wants to use the discord to force me to kill, but maybe forcing a virtuous person will make Chun Shenjun hesitate, and I will dispel the hesitation for Chun Shenjun." ”

Huang Xie's heart became more and more frightened: "Why is this? ”

Zhu Xiang said with a smile: "If you want to be weak, you will be strong; If you want to abolish it, you will fix it. I want to see how much power the Chu State can use in the Qin State to uproot it in one fell swoop. ”

Huang Xie said: "You want to use yourself as bait? But you've told me about it, how can I still do it? ”

Zhu Xiang pushed Huang Xie's teacup in front of Huang Xie and chuckled, "So I show you how useful I am to the Qin State." Chun Shenjun, after the Qin State has me, as long as it can lay down as much land, it can get as much land as it wants. Not only that, the fourth prince just let the people of the world vote, and I can let the people of the world vote. ”

He took a sip of tea, held the teacup in both hands and said, "They will become farmers who cultivate for the Qin State and become soldiers who fight for the Qin State." Prince Zichu is my best friend, and Gongzi Zheng is my nephew. I don't admire power, I don't enter the court, I don't recruit guests, I don't hand over courtiers, they will never be afraid of me. ”

"Shang Jun can punish the prince's teacher, Gongzi Qian. If you can concoct a conconvicted crime, the crown prince Chu and Gongzi Zheng will not be able to protect me. Zhu Xiang smiled, "The time for you to kill me is running out." After returning to Chendu, let's talk about this matter with the King of Chu. ”

Huang Xie took a deep breath, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Zhu Xiang was first like an immortal in the world, and then like a hearty man, and now he is trying to see a dagger. The personality change is so fast that it is so weird that it makes Huang Xie creepy.

Huang Xie was able to achieve the position of the fourth prince of the Warring States period as an ordinary scholar, and he was able to send the prince of Chu, who had been imprisoned by the Qin State for ten years, back to the Chu State, and he stayed behind to die for the prince of Chu before he died, and successfully persuaded Fan Ju to persuade the King of Qin to send him back to the Chu State. He was, of course, a very talented man.

But Zhu Xiang was so weird, so weird that he didn't know how to deal with it.
