I’m The King Chapter 1279: : Carry on the past and open up the future (one hundred and sixty-nine) scary guesses

Leaving the palace, Huang Xie invited Qu Zhong to his official hall. Although the two were both important ministers of the Chu State, they rarely met in private except for the summoning by the King of Chu.

"Taiwei, what do you think about Princess Shuyu?" After sitting down, serving tea, and exchanging pleasantries, Huang Xie asked straight to the point.

Qu Zhong pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty objected because he felt sorry for Shuyu Gongyu's fate. In fact, in my opinion, it is a good thing for both public and private purposes. As far as the country is concerned, it can be This time the marriage has eased the relationship between the two parties. In the future, we will have people who can talk to Han. Now Han is powerful, not only in terms of military affairs, but also oppresses our country economically. Secondly, since Princess Shuyu Like it, it can be regarded as fulfilling her wish."

{Pig＋Pig＋Island}Novel www.hzua "So, the Taiwei can support it?" Huang Xie laughed.

"Don't you mean that too?" Qu Zhong asked back with a smile, "Your Majesty just loves Princess Shuyu and doesn't want her to return to Jicheng, but in my opinion, as long as Princess Shuyu insists on , let’s try harder, this matter is not difficult. The key is that the infantryman is not married yet, if he already has a family, then he can only let it go.”

Huang Xie clapped his palms together, and said with a snap, "Okay, this matter is settled like this. Zhao Ding is about to leave for Jicheng to discuss with him about the introduction of bridge construction technology and cement formula. Let him do this by the way."

"That's very good." Qu nodded emphatically, "However, Chief Assistant, if this matter is completed, how will we explain to Qin State? After all, we are still allies now, so we must report such a big event."

"Why do you need to explain?" Huang Xie sneered, "The state of Qin today is no longer what it used to be. The position has been in place for decades. It has already been deeply entrenched and the forces are intertwined. Now they want to change their ways. How can it be so easy? Now that the government is unclear and the generals are at odds, Lu Chao has a strong army at Hangu Pass and actually controls several counties. On the ground, Tan Feng seems to support Fan Zhe, but no one can tell what is wrong with him in his heart. Zhou Yu's influence is almost negligible, and Bai Qi presided over the training of recruits in Xianyang, but he was beaten everywhere, and his efficiency was low. , Taiwei, how long do you think Qin can last?"

Qu Zhong shook his head, "A kingdom that was once powerful has fallen to such a state in just a few years. It's really lamentable, but although the state of Qin is already in dire straits, Lu Chao defends Hangu Guan, Tanfeng is based in Yingchuan. They are still firmly blocking the front of the Han army. Their biggest problem lies in internal affairs. Is it too much for the Taiwei to say how long they can last? If the Han people don’t attack, they may possibly The fight was fierce. But if the Han Dynasty attacked aggressively, under external pressure, they would instead unite as one. Together with the outside world, the chief assistant should not forget that whether it is Lu Chao or Tan Feng, Gao Yuan and Gao Yuan are inseparable Liang Zi."

Huang Xie chuckled, "Taiwei misunderstood me, I didn't ask this, I said Lu Chao."

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

Huang Xie went back and forth in the room a few times, and filled Qu Zhong's teacup himself, "This matter has been lingering in my mind for a long time, I have never thought it through, so I can only hide it In my heart, the Taiwei is back today, and I just happened to take a look at it with me."

"Shoufu, please tell me." Qu nodded his head.

"Why did Lu Chao give in so easily? I mean, he gave up his control of the court so easily and let Fan Sui carry out this so-called reform? With the strength of the Li School, coupled with Lu Chao's hands It is really easy for them to stop this matter with the army under their control."

"They stopped them, but they didn't succeed. Fan Sui was assassinated many times on the way to Xianyang. If it wasn't for the desperate protection of the Black Ice Terrace, and Tan Feng sent an army to **** him, I am afraid that Fan Sui will return to Xianyang." It was a corpse in Xianyang." Qu Zhong said.

"Taiwei, this is what I'm confused about." Huang Xie shook his head and said, "Among the people who took action are indeed some core figures of the Li School, but the question is, why is Lu Chao, the new banner leader of the Li School? Didn't make a move? I believe that if this person makes a move, it is absolutely impossible for Fan Sui to make it to Xianyang alive."

Huang Yi stopped Qu Zhong and thought for a while before saying, "Maybe it's because Lu Chao and Yingying have always had a good relationship. On top of this, he gave way on this matter?"

Huang Xie sat down, stared at Qu Zhong without saying a word. Seeing Qu Zhong was a little hairy, "What's the matter, Shoufu, am I wrong?"

"Does the Taiwei think it makes sense for this reason?" Huang Xie said indifferently: "From the perspective of Lu Chao's ability to firmly control Hangu's tens of thousands of troops and several counties , this person is an extremely powerful person, how could he fail to understand that once Fan Sui's political reform succeeds, it will be his end? How can an increasingly powerful imperial court tolerate his existence as a tyrant who is equal to cutting dramas? Yingying and Fan Sui's retreat is just due to the current situation and he has to do it, once the situation is reversed, he may immediately point the finger at Lu Chao, Lu Chao will not fail to see this, but why does Lu Chao pretend not to know?"

He looked at Qu Zhong, and then asked: "Is it true that Lu Chao is loyal to Ying Ying as you said? How loyal are you? In fact, Lu Chaokuai managed the area around Hangu Pass into his small kingdom."

"Shoufu's words go around and around, and I'm confused. What do you mean?" Qu Zhong asked impatiently.

"The price paid by Lu Chao's retreat is 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 ever thought about it? No, apart from these few core figures, the Li School still holds great strength in Qin Ting. It is impossible for Fan Sui to clear all these people out, at least not in a short period of time, so what Fan Sui adopted was to win over them. , a strategy of disintegration, 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 in a stable manner. If it is thoroughly cleaned up, the Qin court may collapse. The Qin State has been in existence for decades, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant. Even if you are an elementary school boy, at the beginning of your enlightenment, you must read the textbooks compiled by the Li School!"

Huang Xie took a deep breath, "I want to say, what if all of this is the beginning of a big conspiracy? Lu Chao's retreat has a purpose. It was premeditated to pull it over, what do you think?"

Qu Zhong stood up abruptly, the chair was driven by his huge body, and there was a rattling sound, if he hadn't grabbed it quickly with his hands, it would have fallen to the ground.

Qu Zhong's voice trembled a little, "Shoufu, do you guess that Lu Chao was secretly manipulating all of this? If this is the case, what does Lu Chao want to do?",

"Pretentiously retreating, but firmly controlling the military power, the real power figures in the Li School seem to be scattered, dismissed from their posts, and surrendered. Change, Lu Chao's concession, forced King Qin and Fan Sui to reciprocate, and basically acquiesced in the fact that Lu Chao is currently cutting dramas. Over time, I am afraid that this will become the norm, and Fan Sui's reform What will happen if you fail, the public will see resentment, and wars will break out?"

"Lu Chao will rebel?" Qu Zhong's voice was a little trembling, "This is unlikely, Lu Chao was originally from Yan, and his subordinates are all Qin generals and soldiers."

"The generals and soldiers of the Qin State?" Huang Xie sneered, "If these people are really loyal, how can Lu Chao be subdued? Only his order is to obey, Gui Yinger is in Hangu There are a few words in the intelligence sent back by the spies of Guan, which made me think deeply. The Qin army there only knew that there was a general, but not a king. Taiwei, if, I mean, if it really came to Fan Sui’s reform failure, If something serious happened in Xianyang, what would Lu Chao do, wouldn't it be easy?"

"Shoufu, Xianyang also has the Black Ice Terrace, there are 30,000 Xuanyi Guards, and the new army trained by Bai Qi, as long as these are not in chaos, how can Lu Chao cause chaos? He can't abandon Hangu Pass No, let's go straight to Xianyang, if this is the case, the Han army still has a reason not to go straight in, then Lu Chao will get nothing, and he will have to bear the infamy of a traitor to the country."

"Yeah, this is what I can't figure out. Lu Chao must have a helper in Xianyang~IndoMTL.com~ and this person's status is not low, and he is quite trusted by King Qin. Only in this way can it make sense , but who is this person?" Huang Yi thought hard.

Looking at Huang Xie's appearance, Qu Zhong couldn't help but said: "Isn't it for nothing? This person has served under Lu Chao. Lu Chao values ​​him very much and promotes him repeatedly."

"It's definitely not this person. If it was this person, Lu Chao would have been so steady and steady step by step without patience, or it was because of this person's sudden birth that disrupted Lu Chao's life. Layout." Huang Xie shook his head. "I really can't think of who this person would be, but one thing I'm sure of is that Fan Sui's reform will definitely fail, because more than 90% of the local officials are members of the Li School, As long as Lu Chao survives, these people will have a spiritual support, or they have quietly gathered under Lu Chao's banner. For these people, it doesn't matter who is in power. Wannian occupies a dominant position." Huang Xie said decisively.

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

"Scary? I frightened myself a little too!" Huang Xie took a deep breath: "It's better to believe it than to believe it. Taiwei, above the military, we should also have some Corresponding arrangements have been made. I always feel that Han Gaoyuan is vaguely promoting this matter." (To be continued...)
