Chapter 416 Identity
Changping Junfu.
The courtyard was quiet, and Lord Changping, who was reading in the pavilion, suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Even if Lord Changping didn't look back, he knew that no one except Lord Changwen would dare to be so rude in his house.
"You went to the old lady's place?"
Chang Ping Jun glanced at Chang Wen Jun, who was sitting in front of him, obviously holding anger in his heart.
"Zhao Shuang is too domineering!"
The trade routes were smooth, and rare goods from the West entered Xianyang through the hands of merchants. There were only a few cars, but Xianyang dignitaries rushed to buy them, and they were all sold out in an instant.
When many people saw this, they saw the huge profits and wanted a piece of the pie. Chang Wenjun also sent people to the Chamber of Commerce to negotiate, but the result was not ideal.
"Brother, you don't know how arrogant Zhao Shuang's people are. The people I sent were kicked out without even seeing each other. Later I went to the old lady and wanted to vent my bitterness. But the old lady didn't answer. I've been sitting in Huayang Palace for half an hour, not to mention how uncomfortable I am."
Chang Pingjun smiled.
"You have brought disgrace upon yourself. Zhao Shuang has made it clear that he wants to use this trade route to gather his minions and eliminate dissidents. You don't even look at the people involved. They are all descendants of the Qin family. We Chu people, can Can you get in?"
"These Qin aristocratic families!"
Chang Wenjun snorted softly, his teeth itching.
The Chu dynasty took root in the Qin State. With Lu Buwei being expelled and Lord Changping becoming prime minister, it became even more deeply rooted. From the harem to the court and then to the army, the power of the Chu clan penetrated into every corner of the Qin Kingdom.
However, in the eyes of the Qin clan, the Chu people were after all outsiders and they needed to be guarded against. When Lu Buwei, the once biggest enemy, has been expelled from Guanzhong, then the Chu clan will follow.
But unlike Lu Buwei, where the status of the Queen Mother of Huayang is placed, the Chu family is as immovable as a mountain. Even if the Qin family does not like Chang Pingjun and others, there is nothing they can do about it.
In addition, the Qin family is already divided within itself, and it is powerless to deal with the Chu family that is now at its peak.
"Although the profits of that trade route are huge, the risks are too great. It is only a small profit after all. Beyond the Great Wall, in the wilderness, there may be big changes at some point. By then, Zhao Shuang's capital may be broken. Get in."
Unlike Changwenjun, Changpingjun doesn't care too much.
"Great profits are in the Central Plains."
Hearing this, Chang Wenjun's expression changed. The matters involved were very important after all, and even related to the future of the Chu family's influence.
There is a chessboard on the table between Changpingjun and Changwenjun. Lord Changping took the white pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
"In the land of the Six Kingdoms, the powers of hundreds of schools of thought are complex. Farmers have developed rapidly in the Chu region in recent years, and their power has taken root in Dongjun and is developing rapidly towards the Central Plains."
Lord Changping spoke slowly while playing the chess pieces.
"Confucianism is in Qi, and it would be unfavorable to have a head-on confrontation with it; famous scholars are in the old land of Zhao, and they have gradually moved towards Qin over the years, so there is no need to worry; Taoism is hidden in the mountains and forests, and does not care about worldly affairs; the Yin and Yang family has always served Qin respectfully, and has nothing to do with us. Conflict. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, the one that has the greatest conflict with the peasant family is the Mohist family."
"What do you mean, brother?"
"The Mohist family's power reaches up to the court and down to the rivers and lakes. Although it is large, it actually does not have much conflict with the peasant family. However, since the rise of the Mohist leader, his power has expanded rapidly, and we have reached the point where we have to face it."
Changping Jun said something leisurely and began to place black stones on the chessboard.
"The Agency Nest in Sanchuan, the Moxia Residence in Yunmeng, and the Mohist Workshop in Yongdi, these three large strongholds are the most important bargaining chips for the Mohist leader."
"But we can't let the farmers directly attack these strongholds. What's more, we don't fully know where these strongholds are."
"indeed!"
Mr. Changping took a look at the situation on the chessboard. Now it was crisscrossed with black and white, making it look very complicated.
"It's just that the important thing is not the leader of the Mohist family, or even the Mohist family, but Zhao Shuang, who is behind all this. The power of the world, all over the world, he is fighting with us. And the key point is here."
With that said, Lord Changping picked up a white stone and played it on Tianyuan.
As soon as the child fell, Chang Pingjun's momentum changed, his momentum was calm, but murderous intent overflowed.
"Handi!"
"Did Princess Honglian go to Han Fei's place?"
Zhao Shuang glanced at Wei Zhuang, only to see him nodding his head with a deep expression on his face.
"This time, Bai Yifei was not able to stop Ji Wuye, and the two were very unhappy. Ji Wuye insisted on letting Ji Yihu marry Princess Honglian and be promoted to a Korean noble family. This seemed to be a competition for fame. It is beneficial, but in fact, it shows that Ji Wuye intends to side with Han Yu."
The information from Han reached Guanzhong and was soon known to Zhao Shuang.
Winter is over, but the cherry blossoms are not yet in full bloom in the courtyard. With Qin's capture of Ye, the war was temporarily suspended, and all countries in the world seemed very quiet.
There are no disputes among the countries, but there are still turmoils within each country and even in the world.
"It seems that this crisis is not as simple as I thought."
Zhao Shuang smiled softly. If Bai Yifei fails to stop Ji Wuye, it means that the situation in South Korea is already quite serious.
At this moment, Wei Zhuang's eyes glanced upward. There was a soft sound from the roof, and pieces of black feathers fell down. Mo Ya flipped over from the roof and landed in the courtyard, half-kneeling on the ground.
"My lord!"
"What's the matter?"
"Today at the Xianyang court meeting, the courtiers of the Chu faction advocated marching troops to Han."
Zhao Shuang's expression changed.
"For what reason? Who should be sent as the chief general?"
"Han Lu sent an envoy to conspire with Lu Buwei. He was afraid of a catastrophe and should raise troops to fear it. However, a group of Chu courtiers urged Yang Duanhe to be the general and the Lord to be the supervisor of the army."
Zhao Shuang looked back at Wei Zhuang with a bit of a smile.
"Chang Ping-kun's move is really powerful!"
Han Fei Mansion.
"Brother, why are you so frowning?"
Han Fei returned to his room and saw Honglian bringing soup.
"The Qin army is about to attack Han."
Honglian was startled and put down the lacquer plate he was holding.
"Why did Qin attack Han?"
Honglian was puzzled, but saw Han Fei say.
"South Korea sent envoys to Henan repeatedly to see Lu Buwei. All the courtiers of the Qin State were worried that this was going to collude with Lu Buwei and have some conspiracy."
When Honglian heard this, she inserted her waist and felt a little angry.
"That's too much! It's not just South Korea that sent envoys to Henan. Which of the other countries didn't send envoys? Why did they send troops to attack South Korea alone?"
Han Fei gave a wry smile, glanced at Honglian, and felt a little sad in his words.
"Yes, why attack Korea alone?"
Han Fei shook his head. Even though he was the Qin State's top minister, he was also the respected son of Han. But there were some things that he still couldn't control after all.
Han Fei lowered his head and took a sip of soup. But the trouble is, I am afraid that in the end, he will only be able to choose one of Qin's Shangqing and Han Gongzi.
