The ninth chapter of the son to Chu
"Tell me what to do when it comes to dealing with it."
Late at night, the Zhangtai Palace was still brightly lit, reflecting the palace like daytime. Emperor Shi Huang was always diligent and often reviewed memorials all night long. The palace maids and guards had already been accustomed to it, but they responded quickly and quickly arranged everything.
Hearing the King's question, there was a needle falling on the glorious hall, and the Jokhang elites were still digesting the news that shocked them. Moreover, the few people in front of them had not spoken yet, so the backwards who were not as famous as talented and talented naturally did not dare to speak first.
Ying Zheng was not a patient king. After waiting for a while, he saw no one answering, so he started to name him: "Guowei, you have the most experience, so you can talk first."
The old lieutenant's face became increasingly wrinkled. Hearing this, his brows moved a little, and he didn't know whether his eyes were opened, he slowly said: "The old minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to send the news to Bai Qi."
"Yes, Bai Qi is now alone and deeply in the hinterland of Zhao. If the road to return is cut off at this time, there will be no hope of life." A young general agreed. Fusu looked at it and it turned out to be Sima Xin.
"In addition, we must determine whether there is a covenant in advance of sending troops to several countries." Li Si said, "If there is a covenant beforehand, we can only give up the opportunity to destroy Zhao this time, withdraw our troops and return to our country before making plans; if there is no covenant, we can divide and govern it."
"In detail." Ying Zheng pointed at Li Si, obviously agreeing.
Li Si bowed and stood up and said, "This battle in our country is a sudden attack that has been brewing for three years. There is no time for the three countries to have a covenant. It is very likely that each of them will send troops. As long as the envoys arrive at the two countries, they will know this matter, without any need to explain in detail."
Seeing Ying Zheng nodding, Li Si continued: "Since the Wei State was stolen from Hexi, the national power has been deteriorating. Now our army is facing a high point, and the troops are pointed directly at the heart. We will not dare to risk the devastation of the country's destruction to start a full war with us. Therefore, we only need one person to take the king to the scepter and go to Kaifeng to talk to the King of Wei, and that our country intends to return the land to Hexi.
The King of Wei was greedy and feared me like a tiger, not to mention that he was always worried that he would be seized by the prince Wuji, who is now leading a large army. As long as there is a person who can speak out and talk about his prosper and harm, he will be able to make him moved. The Wei State will be defeated without any attack."
Ying Zheng nodded and praised: "Prime Minister, where is the other way?"
Li Si first thanked King Zhao for his praise, and then shook his sleeves and waved his face. Everyone was swaying. "The Chu State's military service under the old capital, it seemed to be eyeing Shu. However, since the Kuomintang's magistrate broke the capital of Ying, the Chu State has no power to go north to compete for hegemony. Now the major families in the country have already been in chaos. The King of Chu has no time to suppress the domestic forces, and now it is just to take back Ying.
The King of Chu was indecisive, fond of small profits but neglected righteousness. As long as there was someone who could make the King of Chu trust him, he would bribe him with a lot of money and told him that as long as he was willing to withdraw his troops, he could return the entire 600 miles of Hanzhong. In this way, the Lord of Chunshen, Huang Xie, could also break through the way."
After Li Si finished speaking, everyone in the palace was convinced and stood up to cheer: "Prime Minister and great talent!" Although Fusu knew that he had been ambushed by Li Si, he couldn't help but admire him and cheered. Two thousand chariot countries were stationed on the border, and the Zhao State, which had not yet completely lie down, was surrounded by the enemy on three sides, and the situation seemed to be as dangerous as the country's talent. However, Li Si was able to formulate such a exquisite feasible strategy in such a short time, and he was indeed worthy of being a talented country.
After the strategy was settled, Ying Zheng relaxed a little and began to ask: "Western officials must be on duty. Who can share the worries of the will of the people?"
Before he finished speaking, a man came out from the crowd: "Mao, I hope to go to the state of Wei, I will be able to persuade the King of Wei and make the king worry-free." He was the foreign minister Gan Mao. This man was originally the prime minister when he was the former king and also had great talents. However, after Li Si grew up, he abdicated and gave way to the wise. He devoted himself to diplomacy and inherited and carried forward Zhang Yi's strategy of "militating far and near to attack". He was indeed foolproof when he was sent to the state of Wei.
Ying Zheng and Li Si nodded in front of each other, approved Gan Mao's self-recommendation and gave him a scepter in court. After taking the scepter, Gan Mao did not delay for a second. After saying goodbye to the king, he held the scepter and stood up and left.
The famous officials today do have the style of famous scholars from the country. They do not hesitate to do anything for national affairs, and they all dare to act and have a strong spirit.
After deciding the commander of the whole journey, the First Emperor asked again: "Who can use the matter of Chu State?"
In fact, there was a very suitable candidate by his side, but the man did not stand up, and everyone in the palace didn't know what the king was thinking, and none of them dared to recommend it. Li Si, who proposed this strategy, sat silently, with a look that was not related to himself.
Fusu probably didn't know that Ying Zheng had already thought of the candidate. He knew that he could not escape even if he knew how he could. He could only curse Li Si's old fox in his heart, "A man who trusted the king of Chu"? Now, isn't the only one who can be related to King Xiong Huai of Dazhao? He can't let Mrs. Huayang take an envoy, that's not the only one who has the qualification.
Fusu glanced at Li Si who was alive and sneered, "I'm willing to go."
Ying Zheng naturally agreed and gave him a scepter. Fusu took the scepter presented by Meng Yi himself but did not leave immediately. Instead, he said: "Although he has some blood connection with the King of Chu, he has never seen him before, and he is not as good as being a scheming person. He is probably not enough to impress the King of Chu by relying on a large amount of money alone."
Ying Zheng thought for a while and felt that something was reasonable and he was not sure, so he asked him: "What else should I do?"
"Son wants to borrow someone from his father."
"Who?"
Zhao Gao, who had been standing beside him, woke up in his heart, but before he could speak out to stop him, Fusu said, "Hu Hai."
Ying Zheng understood what Fusu meant after just a moment of thinking. He was giving the King of Chu a proton, and it was accurate without hesitation. After all, Hu Hai now has no status in his heart, "But."
Zhao Gao could not stop him, so he could only look at Fusu with a smile. After thanking the king, he also turned around and left the palace. He also wanted to chase Gan Mao for advice. As for Hu Hai, he would just send someone to arrest him.
To be honest, Fusu is no longer treating Hu Hai as a root. As long as his thoughts do not fall into decline, a mere son of Hu is really not worth taking it to heart. Taking him out as a proton is just the last insurance measure. Now that there is a front-line opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince, he will not be able to rank him after reaching 10th place.
After all, Gan Mao was old and didn't walk fast. Before he could reach the palace gate, he was chased by Fusu.
"Stay to stay!" Gan Mao turned around and saw Fusu rushing to catch up with him. He smiled with pleasure, "Since the young master has caught up with the old minister, I might as well have a walk together."
Fusu naturally agreed happily.
"Gan Xiangsi was expected."
Gan Mao smiled kindly: "Who else is more suitable to use Chu than the young master?"
"Gan Xiang knows I'm not talking about this."
Gan Mao smiled even more happily: "If the young master hesitated about the mission, or if he was not quick to come to the old minister after taking over his life, he would never hear the following words."
Fusu knew that the old guys who could stand tall in the Chaozhou court had already become elites one by one. This old man who had been the Prime Minister of the Chaozhou court was no exception. He did not dare to be negligent when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and asked, "I will teach me."
Gan Mao helped Fusu up and signaled that the people around him would scatter from afar. He then said as he walked: "Actually, Chu seems to be coming along fiercely, but Xiong Huai's courage, even if Zhao Ji instigated him, he would not dare to take it seriously. At most, Huang Xie could not hold back and hindered the borders of the two countries, and would not be a big deal."
Fusu nodded first, then asked in confusion: "Why do you still have to do an envoy?"
"I may not be clear about what Li Si thought, I just talk about the king's thoughts," I want to hear this. Fusu supported Gan Mao, who was a little breathless, and only heard him wave his hand to indicate that he was fine, and said: "After all, the young master has the blood of the Chu people, which is connected to the royal family of the Chu king. This is a mark that the young master cannot erase, and it is also a small thorn in the king's heart. The Chu people's chaos, and the truth is not far away, how can the king not remember it?"
"What Gan Xiang is talking about Rang Hou?"
"Yes. The bloodline of the Chu people has its own special features, which is so mysterious that the old minister can't explain it clearly. Today, I will only talk about the king's thoughts. The young master sent Chu this time and told the King of Chu to stop the army. The most important thing is to express his feelings to the king and prove that he has never regarded himself as the Chu people." Gan Mao's little eyes stared at Fusu, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.
Fusu sucked Gan Mao's words, and was a little confused, and he was a little confused: "Fusu understands what Gan Xiang said. But how should we prove it?"
"It depends on the young master, and the old minister doesn't know." Fusu complained again about his cunning in his heart, and then Gan Mao said again: "There is another person, the young master must be careful."
"What Gan Xiang said is, Zhao Ji?"
"Yes, this person is the daughter of the King of Zhao, and is quite favored by the King of Chu. He is even more incompatible with Mrs. Huayang. The young master must pay more attention."
Fusu nodded naturally.
At this time, there was still a long way to go from the palace gate. Gan Mao was old and weak and could not walk anymore, so Fusu had to accompany him to stop on a step to rest. Originally, Gan Mao's seniority was qualified to ride in a sedan chair in the palace, but the old man had always been stubborn and kept walking up and down by himself.
Gan Mao beat his legs and said to himself: "I'm old after all, I have to rest for a few miles, which is a delay in the young master."
Fusu supported the old man and leaned against the railing, laughed and said, "Listen to Gan Xiang's words is at least better than ten years of hard study. How could it be delayed?"
After hearing Fusu's flattery, although Gan Mao had already been an old minister of the three dynasties, he couldn't help feeling a little fluttering. That's naturally, how many people can hear the flattery of the crown prince of a country?
The two of them rested for a while and continued to walk towards the palace gate. Gan Mao asked again: "Does your son know the current court in Chu?"
Fusu sorted out the information he knew, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Fusu only knew that the new party was now in power in Chu State, among which the leaders were Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, who was valued by the King of Chu and was ranked as the commander of the emperor. "
Speaking of this, Fusu felt a little confused about time. In the history of the Qin Dynasty, since "Zhang Yi deceived Chu", King Huai of Chu attacked Qin many times, but suffered many defeats, and was defeated more than 60 cities in a row, and was seized by Qin for 600 miles, setting up Hanzhong County.
In the 18th year of King Huai of Chu, Qin captured Zhaoling, and Chu was unable to fight back. King Huai of Chu was later deceived to Qin and eventually died in a foreign land. The power of Chu declined and was out of control. King Zhaoxiang of Qin captured Yingdu and burned Yiling where the Chu ancestral temple was located, causing Qu Yuan to commit suicide by jumping into the river.
In the current history of Dazhao, Chunshen Jun was not killed by Li Yuan, Qu Yuan did not jump into the river, and even encouraged Xiong Huai to work hard and survive. Gan Mao in front of him did not jump into Qi, and during his active period, he also went straight from the middle of the Warring States Period to the late Warring States Period.
"What the young master said is not bad, but Chu is different from the Central Plains countries. It is not that he can control the court if he gains the upper hand in the court. On that day, Wu Qi's reform was deeply supported by the King of Chu, but he was also defeated in the middle. After his death, the fruit of the reform was like the fallen leaves in the autumn wind and disappeared. The reason is that the territory of Chu was too large."
"I hope to hear the details."
"People from all countries in the Central Plains mentioned Chu, only know that their habits and customs were not as good as the Central Plains, and they were quite unique. People who despise often called their people the Southern Barbarians. Well, don't mention this to your mother." After Fusu smiled and promised, Gan Mao said again, "I don't know that the territory of Chu is so vast that the other five countries are probably not as good as that of them."
Fusu couldn't help but change his color when he heard this: "It's so big!"
