Chapter 318 Neighbor
Xianyang.
In front of Lord Changping was a pile of official affairs that urgently needed to be dealt with by the Prime Minister. However, he was confused, but he did not bow down to the papers.
Great changes occurred in Chu State. When the King of Chu died of illness, Li Yuan launched a coup at the Thorny Gate of the palace, assassinated Chu State's emissary Yin Chunshenjun Huang Xie, established Prince Xiong Han as the new King of Chu, and joined forces with his sister Queen Mother Li Huan to take control of the Chu State's government.
Lord Changping was the eldest son of King Chu, the son Xiong Wan had when he was a hostage in Qin. At that time, Lord Chunshen entered Qin and rescued Xiong Wan from the hands of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, while Lord Changping stayed.
According to the distinction between direct concubines and concubines, Lord Changping was the first candidate to succeed the King of Chu. However, it was impossible for the King of Chu to take the eldest son, who had stayed in Qin since childhood and held a high position, back to Chu as the crown prince.
To some extent, Lord Changping was in a rather embarrassing situation. Fortunately, the Queen Mother Huayang was his most reliable supporter and supported him all the way to his current position.
Chu's coup was not all bad for Changping Lord. On the contrary, both the Chu Queen Mother Li Huan and Li Yuan, who has now stolen Ling Yin, will vigorously please him, the prime minister who holds real power in Qin. Thus easing the relationship between Qin and Chu.
"Brother, people from the Chu Kingdom have arrived, bringing many precious gifts and a letter from the King of Chu."
Chang Wenjun placed the letter on the desk, next to a pile of official bamboo scrolls. Mr. Changping banged his hand on the table, furious.
"Shuzi!"
Changwenjun was silent. For a moment, he didn't know who Changpingjun was scolding?
Lord Changping temporarily calmed down the anger in his heart, looked at the letter from King Chu on the table, and smiled softly, with a bit of contempt.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not!”
Chang Wenjun had a smile on his face. For this new King of Chu, Chang Wenjun had some respect in his heart, but it was not because of this person, but because of the meaning of that position.
"It seems that brother is not satisfied with this new King of Chu!"
Lord Changping shook his head.
"It's not that I underestimate this brother. He is not even a little bit worse than our King of Qin. The decline of Chu's power is inevitable."
Since Bai Qi attacked Yingdu more than 40 years ago, the state of Chu has plummeted, losing the land of Yunmeng where it started, millions of fields and a large number of people in the Jianghan Plain.
King Xiong Wan of Chu was not an outstanding monarch, but with the help of Lord Chun Shen, he stopped the decline of the Chu state. Over the years, the Chu State's national power has rebounded, and it has gradually become more competitive with the Qin State.
But all this will stop now.
"What do you mean, brother?"
"Li Yuan is a stubborn man who is addicted to power. What ability does he have to govern the country? What's more, the reason why he was able to become the commander-in-chief was just because of Xiong Han's reputation as an orthodox person."
The leader of the Chu State was weak and his ministers were strong, and the lords in various places had more power than the Qin State. The strongest among them was the Xiang family. Li Yuan does not have the ability and prestige of Chun Shenjun to unify the power between the government and the public. For a long time in the future, the authority of the Chu royal family is likely to decline significantly.
Lord Changping smiled and looked at Lord Changwen.
"Don't forget, my brother is not just a cud bearer. However, the chaos in Chu State is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Farmers can take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop their power. Ours ——”
At this point, Lord Changping suddenly frowned and stopped talking. Chang Wenjun saw this and asked.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Things I can think of, what about Zhao Shuang?"
At this moment, there was a sound outside the house. Lord Changping's expression changed and he asked.
"who?"
"Your Majesty, it's me."
"come on in!"
Tian Guang jumped in from outside and greeted him. Since the Lao'ai Rebellion, Tian Guang has been hiding in Guanzhong, waiting for orders from Lord Changping.
"What's the matter?"
"News from Nanjun, there is something strange happening in the Mo family. A large number of Mo Xia from Yunmeng have entered the Chu land eastward, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"The farmers have just entered Nanyang, and the Mo family has already penetrated deep into Chu. Zhao Shuang's movements are so fast!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Lord Changping clenched his hands and his eyes flashed.
"Now that they have gone, let's give it a try. How is the quality of the Mohist leader? Tian Guang, go back immediately and organize the Sixth Hall of the Nongjia to deal with the Mohist family. This battle will prevent the Mohist forces from going deep into Chu territory and connecting with Baiyue. "
"promise!"
Sakura garden in the mountains.
Xuanjian and Jingyu stood in front of Zhao Shuang, holding long swords in their hands.
Zhao Shuang held the spider mask belonging to the Luowei in his hand and looked at it with interest.
"Zhao Gao reorganized Luo Wang in a short period of time. However, Lu Buwei's existence makes Luo Wang's situation still very embarrassing."
Xuanjian's words did not surprise Zhao Shuang. As a killer organization that has existed for a long time, Luo Wang knew very well how to choose to continue to survive.
"With the help of Qin's power, Luo Wang has already decided to grow stronger. But now, it's time for Luo Wang to choose a new organization."
Zhao Shuang smiled. The two people in front of them were both Luo Wen's first-class killers, and their knowledge of Luo Wen was far better than anyone else's.
"Whether it is Luowang or the Yin Yang family, they are all just boarding the giant ship before the tide of the times."
On the eve of the changing times, many people have already seen the clues.
"Then are you one of them?"
Jing salamander looked at Zhao Shuang with a hint of caution in his eyes. By now, she had realized that even though she helped Zhao Shuang get rid of Lao Ai, she still couldn't leave.
Because it gradually became clear to Jing Sala that she had now become a weakness of Zhao Shuang and a breakthrough for the outside world to break through the defense of Zhao Shuang, an upstart.
However, this choice may not be a bad choice for Jingyu and her daughter. However, Zhao Shuang is a dangerous person after all, and Jingyu is still a little worried.
Bai Feng's figure crossed the high wall of the courtyard and fell into the courtyard.
"My lord, the farmer's side has already taken action."
In the battle with the peasants, Zhao Shuang's disadvantage became apparent, that is, the "Mo family commander" lacked top experts.
Zhao Shuang glanced at the two people in front of him. Although Xuanjian and Jing salamander were both top experts, they could not directly intervene in the dispute between the Mo family and the farmer's family.
Putting the mask in his hand on the corridor, Zhao Shuang stood up and looked at Jing Salamander.
"From now on, you will no longer be a trap. Just throw away this soft armor and this mask. As for this Frightening Salamander Sword..."
There was a bit of surprise in the big round eyes of Jing Salamander, and he seemed a little surprised by Zhao Shuang's words.
"You can keep it! Now that Yan'er has arrived in Nanzheng, you can go south now and live next to each other with Xuan Jian!"
"But my lord, where is the farm?"
Xuanjian was a little worried. Zhao Shuang's power at the moment was not enough to deal with the farmers.
"It doesn't matter!"
Zhao Shuang waved his hand and seemed not worried.
