I’m The King

After leaving the palace, Huang Xie invited Qu Zhong to his official hall together. Although the two were both important ministers of the Chu State, they rarely had such private meetings except when they were summoned by the King of Chu.

"Taiwei, what do you think about Princess Shuyu?" Huang Xie asked straightforwardly after sitting down, having tea, and greetings.

He sighed and pondered for a moment, "The king objected, but it's just because I feel sorry for the fate of Shuyu Gongyu. In fact, in my opinion, it is a good thing for public and private. As far as the country is concerned, it can be done this time. Marriage eases the relationship between the two parties. In the future, we will also have people who can talk to Han. Now Han is very powerful, not only in military affairs, but also in economic oppression. Secondly, since Princess Shuyu likes it, she also It's fulfilled her wish."

"Don't you mean that too?" Qu Zhong asked with a smile, "The king just feels sorry for Princess Shuyu, and doesn't want her to return to Jicheng, but in my opinion, as long as Princess Shuyu insists, we will continue Work hard, this is not difficult. The point is that the infantry has not yet been married, and if he has a family, then he can only give it up."

Huang Xie slapped his palms and slapped, "Okay, this is set, Zhao Ding will leave for Jicheng soon to discuss with the other party about the introduction of bridge construction technology and cement formula. By the way, do this too."

"It's so good." Qu pointedly nodded, "But the first assistant, if this matter is done, how will we confess to Qin, after all, we are still allies now, and such a major event must be notified."

"Why do you need to confess?" Huang Xie sneered. "The state of Qin nowadays is no longer what it used to be. The country is full of smoke. The two lives of Yingying and Fan Sui moved to the state policy of Han, and the country was full of smoke. Li Ru academics dominated the Qin country for dozens of times. Years. It has long been entrenched and the forces are intertwined. Now that they want to change course, is it so easy? Nowadays, the political affairs are unclear, and they will be at odds with each other. Feng seems to support Fan Che, but no one knows what he is playing in his heart. Zhou Yu's influence is almost negligible. Bai Qi presided over the recruitment and training of recruits in Xianyang, but was elbowed everywhere and inefficient, Taiwei , How long do you think Qin can last?"

Qu Zhong shook his head, "A very powerful kingdom has fallen to such a situation in just a few years. It is really amazing, but although Qin is already very unbearable, Lu Chao guards Hanguguan and Tan The front is based on Yingchuan. It is still firmly blocking the front of the Han. Their biggest problem lies in their internal affairs. Is it a bit too much for the Taiwei to say how long they can last? If the Han people do not attack, they may fight fiercely. But if Han is aggressively offensive, under external pressure, they will instead unite as one. Together with the outside world, the first assistant must not forget that whether it is Lu Chao or Tan Feng, there are beams that cannot be solved with Gao Yuan."

Huang Xie chuckled, "Taiwei misunderstood what I meant. I was not asking this, I was talking about Lu Chao."

"Lu Chao?" Qu Zhong asked in surprise, "What does Taiwei mean?"

Huang Xie went back and forth several circles in the room, and filled the teacup for Qu Zhong himself, "This matter has been haunting me for a long time, I haven't thought through it, so I can only hide it in my heart. The Taiwei returned today, and he happened to be with me for a detailed discussion."

"Shoufu, please tell me." Qu pointedly nodded.

"Why did Lu Chao succumb so easily? I mean, he gave up control of the court so easily and let Fan Sui carry out this so-called reform? With the strength of the Li school and the control of Lu Chao The army, it’s really easy for them to stop this."

"They stopped it, but they didn't succeed. Fan Sui was assassinated many times on his way into Xianyang. If it weren't for the protection of the Black Ice Platform, Tan Feng sent an army to **** him. I'm afraid that when Fan Sui returns to Xianyang, It's just a corpse." said bowedly.

"Taiwei, here is what I am puzzled about." Huang Xie shook his head and said: "The people who shot are indeed some of the core figures of the Li school, but the question is, why didn't Lu Chao, the new leader of the Li school, not shot? I believe that Fan Sui will never survive to Xianyang if this person takes action."

Huang Yi asked Quzheng seriously, and thought for a while before he said: "Or because Lu Chao has always had a good relationship with Yingying. He is loyal to Yingying and doesn't want to break his face with Yingying, so on the basis of maintaining military power, He gave way to this matter?"

Huang Xie sat down and looked at the weightlessly. Will Qu Zhong looked a little hairy, "What's wrong with the first assistant, am I wrong?"

"Does the Taiwei think it makes sense for this reason?" Huang Xie said lightly: "From the perspective of Lu Chao's ability to firmly control Hangu's skills and skills in the land of tens of thousands of troops and counties, this person He is an extremely powerful character. How can he fail to understand that once Fan Sui succeeds in his reforms, it will be his end? How can an increasingly powerful court tolerate his presence as a side of the drama? Yingying and Fan Sui's The concession is only the situation dictates and I have to do it. Once the form is reversed, I am afraid that Lu Chao will immediately be targeted at Lu Chao. Lu Chao will not fail to see this, but why does Lu Chao pretend to not know?

He looked at the weight, and then asked: "Really, as you said, Lu Chao is very loyal to Yingying? But if he is loyal, what Lu Chao is doing at Hangu Pass now does not see how loyal he is. Huh? In fact, Lu super quickly managed the surrounding area of ​​Hangu Pass into his small kingdom."

"Shoufu's words go around and I'm confused. What exactly do you mean?" He was impatient and asked.

"The price of Lu Chao's retreat was to throw out the current core figures of the Li school. On the surface, Fan Sui has indeed controlled the power of the central court, but Taiwei, have you thought about it, except These core figures, the Li school still holds great strength in the Qin Ting. It is impossible for Fan Sui to clear these people out, at least not in a short time. Therefore, Fan Sui's approach is to win over and disintegrate them. Policy, trying to make these people work for themselves."

"This strategy is not bad!" Qu Zhong said, "Only in this way can the government move forward smoothly. If you thoroughly wash the ground, I am afraid that Qin Ting will collapse. After all, the Li school controls Qin Guoshu. Ten years, with luxuriant branches and leaves, even if you are a schoolboy, at the beginning of the enlightenment, you can read a book compiled by the Li school of thought!"

Huang Xie took a deep breath, "I mean, if all this is the beginning of a big conspiracy? Lu Chao's retreat was purposeful, and the characters in the Li school were dragged over by Fan Sui one by one. , Also premeditated, what do you think?"

He stood up abruptly, the chair was driven by his huge body, and there was a clattering sound. If he hadn't grabbed it quickly, it would fall to the ground.

The heavy voice trembled, "Shousuke, you guess that all of this is controlled by Lu Chao in the dark? If this is the case, what does Lu Chao want to do?",

"Pretending to retreat, but firmly controlling the military power. The real power figures in the Li school watch the dispersal, dismissal, and surrender. But at the grassroots level, the Li school’s control of the real power has not changed in the slightest. Chao’s retreat forced King Qin and Fan Sui to retaliate. It basically acquiesced to the fact that Lu Chao now cuts off the side of the drama. Over time, I am afraid that this will become the norm. If Fan Sui’s reform fails, Popular grievances are boiling, and the flames are everywhere. What will happen then?"

"Lu Chao will rebel?" His voice trembled a little, "Isn't it possible? Lu Chao was originally from Yan, but he brought Qin generals and Qin soldiers."

"Qin's generals and soldiers?" Huang Xie sneered, "If these people are really loyal, how can Lu Chaozhi be obedient? Only his orders are obeyed, Ghost Yinger's spy at Hangu Pass There are a few words in the information sent back that make me think deeply. The Qin army there only knows that there is a general, but I don’t know that there is a king. Taiwei, if, I mean, if it is true that Fan Sui's reform fails, Xianyang will come out again. If something major happens, is it easy for Lu Chao to do something?"

"Shoufu, Xianyang still has a black ice platform, 30,000 mysterious clothing guards, and a new army trained by Bai Qi. As long as these are not chaotic, how can Lu Chao make chaos? He can't give up Hangu Pass. Let the army go straight to Xianyang. If this is the case, the Han army still has no reason to drive straight forward, and Lu Chao will not get anything by then, and he will have to bear the name of a traitor Shijun."

"Yeah, this is also something I can't figure out. Lu Chao must have a helper in Xianyang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and this person's status is not low, and he has the trust of King Qin. Only in this way can it make sense. But who is this person?" Huang Yi thought hard.

Seeing Huang Xie's appearance, Qu Zhong couldn't help but said, "It's not white, right? This person has served under Lu Chao, and Lu Chao takes him seriously and promotes him again and again."

"It will definitely not be this person. If it were this person, Lu Chao would not have to bear patience and step by step so steadily, or it was because of this person's turnout that it disrupted Lu Chao's layout." Huang Xie shook his head. "I really can't think of who this person will be, but one thing I'm sure of is that Fan Sui's reforms will definitely fail, because more than 90% of local officials are from the Li school. As long as Lu Chao does not die, these people will have a spiritual support, or they have quietly gathered under Lu Chao's banner. For these people, it does not matter who is in power. What is important is that their school can last for thousands of years. Occupying a dominant position for thousands of years." Huang Xie said flatly.

"Shoufu, your inference is too scary!" Qu Zhong couldn't believe it.

"Is it scary? I'm a little scared myself!" Huang Xie took a deep breath: "I would rather believe it if you have it than you can't believe it, Taiwei, above the military, we should also have some corresponding arrangements. Now. I always feel that the Han country is advancing this matter if it is so far-reaching." (To be continued...)
