When the general Huan Chang was assassinated, the entire Shangqiu City was shaken, and the Duke of Song was even more furious, and sent a large number of soldiers to investigate the person who instructed the assassins. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not only that, but there were also many heavily armed armor soldiers walking through the streets, each with a solemn look on their faces.

Huan Mansion, Huan Chang looked carefully at the letter in his hand, and suddenly let out a deep sigh.

There were two letters in front of him, one of which was signed by Fang Li, and the other was written by Han Shaoyun.

Ever since Huan Chang decided to become an official in the Song Kingdom, he remembered the talented Ji Bo, Fang Li, and Han Shaoyun.

These three people entered Qin one after another, and because they were too far apart, Huan Chang did not get any news from the three of them.

With the mentality of trying, Huan Chang still wrote a few letters and sent them to Qin through official channels, hoping to get in touch with the three of them.

Huan Chang still had a small expectation in his heart, that is, if the three of them were not valued in the Qin State, he would invite them to come to the Song State as officials.

In the past, Huan Chang couldn't promise the three of them, but with Huan Chang's current power and status in Song Gong's mind, he could give the three of them a very bright future.

Huan Chang is confident enough, as long as the three of them are willing to come to the Song Kingdom together to help him change the law, and have the full support of the Song Dynasty, then the Song Kingdom will be able to restore the strength of the Xianggong period sooner or later.

After waiting for a few months, Huan Chang finally got a reply, but the content of the letter made him feel mixed feelings.

After Ji Bo and Fang Li entered Qin, with their own talents, they soon got the weight of the Qin king.

The King of Qin is a man of great talent, broad-minded, good at employing people, and eager to strengthen the Qin State, after meeting the two, he talked with the two for five days and five nights, and then began to promote the two exceptionally.

Just a year and a half ago, the King of Qin had already agreed with the two of them on the matter of changing the law, and he tried his best to appoint Ji Bo as the chief of the left house, take charge of internal affairs, and preside over the reform of the law of the Qin State.

Fang Li was also valued by the King of Qin, and was named Shangqing, responsible for giving advice and presiding over Qin's diplomacy.

During this period, wars broke out between the Qin State and the Western Regions countries repeatedly, and Han Shaoyun joined the army after entering the Qin, and soon rose to prominence, became an important general in the army.

The king of Qin, with Han Shaoyun as his general, defeated the countries of the Western Regions several times with fewer victories.

Not only that, Fang Li even took gold, silver, and beautiful women, and used his three-inch tongue to wander between the countries of the Western Regions, provoking contradictions between the countries of the Western Regions.

Just when the countries of the Western Regions were at odds with each other, Fang Li persuaded the King of Qin to cede territory to the two neighboring countries, and then sign a non-aggression pact.

The Qin people were strong, and even if there were endless wars in the past, they would still not cede a city or a pool.

After hearing Fang Li's suggestion, the secretaries of the Qin State were all furious and wrote to impeach Fang Li.

However, Fang Li argued on the basis of reason, and said that the king of Qin said: The reason why the countries of the Western Regions are fighting endlessly with my Qin State is because they are afraid of the courage of our Qin people, so they want to destroy our Qin State.

As long as the Qin State pretends to submit to the countries of the Western Regions, the other party will definitely think that the backbone of the Qin people has been bent, and they have lost the blood and energy in their bones, and they will no longer be troubled, and the contradictions between the countries of the Western Regions are becoming more and more intense, and we only need to symbolically cede some territory to sign a peace treaty with the countries of the Western Regions.

Without the worries of the Qin people, and with my incorruptible tongue, I will definitely be able to provoke a war between the countries of the Western Regions, so that the countries of the Western Regions will no longer have time to look eastward.

What the Qin State lacks now is a stable development space and time, as long as the new law can be thoroughly promoted, ten years later, no one in the Qin State will be able to underestimate it!

Fang Li's words moved Uncle Ji and King Qin, and this is why the Qin State ceded land and sued for peace.

Sure enough, as expected, the countries of the Western Regions, which were originally very jealous of the Qin people, saw that the Qin people took the initiative to cede land and sue for peace, and put on a groveling posture, they immediately happily signed a non-aggression pact with the Qin state.

Of course, the fact that the treaty was signed so quickly was inseparable from Han Shaoyun's repeated defeats of the Western Regions countries, as well as Fang Li's incorruptible tongue to sow discord among the Western Regions countries.

In any case, the Qin State temporarily lowered its head and obtained enough time for development, and from then on he could change the law with peace of mind.

After that, Fang Li once again wandered among the countries of the Western Regions, and began to fan the flames and sow discord, and a war finally broke out between the countries of the Western Regions that signed a peace treaty with the Qin State.

In the short term, the countries of the Western Regions could no longer afford to advance eastward.

"The King of Qin has Brother Ji to preside over the law change, Brother Fang to give advice and be responsible for diplomacy, and Brother Han to lead the army to conquer the Quartet, supplemented by the fierce and fearless personality of the Qin people, how can the Qin State not be strong in time?"

At this time, Huan Chang suddenly regretted a little, not knowing whether it was good or bad for him to support Fang Li and Han Shaoyun to enter Qin.

"Now that the three brothers have a good home and are able to use their talents quietly, I should be happy for them. ”

Restraining his emotions, Huan Chang remembered the news sent by the shadow again, and knew that Qi State, Zhao State, South Korea, Chu State, and Wei State were all changing the law, and immediately felt a strong sense of urgency.

"This is a world of great contention, if the Song Kingdom cannot move forward bravely, sooner or later it will be eliminated by the times. ”

Thinking of this, a murderous aura flashed in Huan Chang's eyes, and then shouted loudly outside the door: "Invite the four of Shadow, Liu Sandao, Mo Dao, and Wu Jing, I have something important to discuss!"

It didn't take long for the four of them to come to Huan Chang's study one after another, looking at the serious face of their lord, they already had some guesses in their hearts.

"Ever since I was assassinated, there has been tremendous resistance to the implementation of the new law. ”

"Shadow, have the nobles and half-hearted generals who led the opposition to the new law ever found out?"

Shadow immediately stepped forward and replied, "There are many nobles who oppose the new law, and there are five of them with the greatest weight, and their subordinates have already investigated it. ”

"As for the two-hearted generals, although their subordinates can't come up with conclusive evidence, they can already determine who they are who sent someone to assassinate the lord in the first place. ”

Some people often stab people on the street, and their purpose is self-evident.

Even if the assassination was unsuccessful, these people sent a clear signal to Huan Chang and the officials and people of Shangqiu that some people were determined to obstruct the implementation of the new law.

After this incident, the nobles and Haoqiang, who had maintained a wait-and-see attitude, immediately did not hesitate anymore and began to work together to resist the implementation of the new law.

Huan Chang has endured it for more than two months, and if there is no action again, this change will definitely be stillborn.

"Now that we have been able to determine which generals have bad intentions, it doesn't hurt even if there is no hard evidence. ”

"Pass my orders and invite those generals to the feast today. ”

A cold light flashed in Huan Chang's eyes, and he had already decided to get rid of these generals resolutely, otherwise if he continued to delay like this, it was very likely to provoke a mutiny.

If the Song army started to fight, it would definitely be a nightmare for the already weak Song State.
