Chapter 573 Cooperation

Xianyang.

Changping Junfu.

"Lian'er, Lord Hanyang is here."

The girl who was dressing up suddenly became happy when she heard the words coming from outside. These days, the entire mansion has been plunged into a lively atmosphere of weddings.

Everyone in the house was discussing her marriage, but Mi Lian was the only one who didn't feel confident.

Because, her husband, the most powerful person in Mi Lian's eyes, had never said a few words to her at all.

Mi Lian really wanted to go see Zhao Shuang, but as a woman, she was restrained from taking action immediately.

Unlike Mi Lian, the situation in the living room was very embarrassing.

Since Zhao Shuang arrived at Lord Changping's residence, he has not said a word to Lord Changping.

Changping Jun looked at Zhao Shuang, wondering in his heart, could Zhao Shuang have sensed something with his tepid look?

After a long time, Zhao Shuang seemed to have finally drank enough tea in the cup in front of him and put down the cup.

"When the Queen Mother Huayang was still alive, she had intended to hold this marriage, but Lord Changping delayed it. Now that Lord Changping is so enthusiastic, there must be something behind it, right?"

When Zhao Shuang said this, Mr. Changping's heart tightened and his expression became a little stiff.

"Master Hanyang is worrying too much."

Zhao Shuang turned to Lord Changping.

"Mr. Changping has been living in seclusion since he was dismissed as prime minister, but now he is all the limelight in the court. Is there no hidden secret in this?"

"How can you have any selfish motives when you serve me, Great Qin?"

Zhao Shuang laughed.

"Don't speak secretly in front of Mingren. Lord Changping wants to assist Young Master Fusu?"

After listening to Zhao Shuang's words, Changping Jun reacted quickly after being briefly stunned.

"Mr. Hanyang should also know that foreign ministers should not interfere with the royal family's affairs, so please be careful with your words."

"Now in the Qin State, the power of the Chu people is declining. This is something that everyone can see clearly. But since Lord Changping wants to join forces with me, you should tell the truth!"

Changping Jun looked at Zhao Shuang.

In a sense, both of them are winners who survived the order of the previous generation of Qin. But now, the Chu clan represented behind Lord Changping is declining day by day, and because Zhao Shuang relies on that trade route, the clan's power has gone through nirvana and reached strength.

But Lord Changping understands that the two major forces, the Chu family and the Shi family, have weaknesses in the power order of this generation.

The most criticized thing about Zhao Shuang is his fiefdom. In the south there are Nanzheng land and Yong land, and in the west, there is no end as far as the eye can see. Who doesn't know, or in other words, how much land Zhao Shuang has in the west?

Because going west, except for a small piece of land in Longxi that belongs to Zhao Shuang, the west is theoretically the territory of the Yuezhi. Back then, Zhao Shuang helped Queen Yuezhi regain her kingdom and made a lot of profits, but no one knew the depth of this, and it was a confusing account.

Merchants who went west to Jincheng to do business could only see the huge city standing on the bank of the river after leaving the Great Wall. This city is huge in scale, second only to the royal capital of a country, and is home to more than 100,000 people.

This city has bustling streets, rows of houses and the most elite soldiers guarding it.

Going further west, people will find that there are a large number of herdsmen on both sides of the road leading to the Yuezhi Royal City. They will say that they are Yuezhi people and are slaves of the master of that magnificent city.

These herdsmen helped the owner of the city tame a large number of horses. No one can tell how many of these people there are?

This confusing account was a bit intolerable to many officials in the Qin State who were all from Legalism. They advocate restraining the monarch and promoting counties. But right under their noses, there was such a big illegal object.

Although Zhao Shuang's series of actions did not violate Qin law, his own existence, or in other words, possessing such a large fiefdom, was enough to make these officials jealous.

Lord Changping figured this out and smiled.

"Han Yangjun and I have known each other for more than ten years. Naturally, we should know that if you and I want to continue to take root in Qin, we must join forces to support the future prince of Qin in order to compete with those foreign forces."

Chang Pingjun's words were a bit excessive, but he believed that Zhao Shuang would not have any objection.

"Mr. Changping is so quick to talk, so I won't mince words. Back then, you and I worked together to drive away Lu Buwei. The Qin State today is different from that of the past. What we have to face is already more serious than before. It’s complicated. Since Mr. Changping wants to make peace with us based on this marriage, then of course he can. In the Qin State, you and I have been allies for a long time, so in the future, we can naturally do the same."

"Hahahaha!" Mr. Changping laughed, "Okay, it's a deal!"

…

After Zhao Shuang left, Chang Pingjun and Chang Wenjun returned to the backyard garden together.

In the pavilion, Chang Wenjun, who had been silent just now, couldn't help laughing.

"Zhao Shuang actually wants to join forces with us?"

Chang Pingjun smiled slightly.

"His life is not easy either. This kid is as slippery as a fox, so he naturally knows the risks around him. Today's Qin State is no longer the past. When our Chu clan, the aristocrats, and foreigners stood side by side, the king's power was prosperous, and the military generals Many scholars in the court were disciples of Legalism. A large number of scholars from the six kingdoms of Shandong entered the Qin Dynasty, hoping to get an official position. Among them, there were many people from hundreds of schools of thought.

Many people in the family are based on military merit, and many of them have fiefdoms, but they rose to power because of Qin's military merit. But if the world is certain and the war is over, what will they do? At this time, it might be a good choice to plan early and join forces with us. "

Chang Wenjun nodded.

"So, this guy Zhao Shuang is really cunning!"

"If he hadn't been like this, how could he have manipulated this world's heroes into applause? But that's fine. Even if he could survive that marriage, the more deeply he got involved with us, the more he would say once it happened. I don’t know. When the time comes, the monarch and his ministers will become suspicious, and the internal affairs of Qin will definitely become more complicated, which will be beneficial to us."

When Mr. Changping said this, the smile on his face became even bigger.

"Now Li Xin and Meng Tian have led Qin's elite out of Wuguan, and will arrive at the front line soon. They are leading brave men in the Qin army. The Chu army may not be able to gain the upper hand in a battle with them. Just follow this The original plan was to actually play a few games.”

"But in this case, will the casualties on the Chu army's side be too great?"

"Although Li Xin is young, he is very experienced in using troops. If he does not throw out enough bait, Li Xin will not take the bait. I will ask for orders to go to the front line, while you are in Nanyang. Once the plan starts, you will immediately lead the troops to occupy Wancheng and destroy it. We arrived at Qin State's Smelting City, picked up Lian'er and Xin'er, and then passed eastward through Ji and Ye to meet up with the Tenglong Army."

"promise!"

After Changwenjun left, Changpingjun smiled leisurely.

"Zhao Shuang, although your suggestion is good, unfortunately, I no longer intend to play with you in this game of chess."
