Chapter 348
Changping Palace.

Since returning from Huayang Palace that day, Mr. Changping has never understood the meaning of what the Empress Dowager Huayang said.It's just that what happened very quickly gave Mr. Changping a sense of enlightenment.

Empress Dowager Zhao, who had been imprisoned for a long time, was taken back from Yongcheng and entered the harem again.And those aristocratic families, after Lu Buwei left Xianyang, not only pointed the finger at those guest officials, but also attacked the Chu faction headed by Lord Changping to a certain extent.

Obviously, after Lu Buwei left, Lord Changping became the object of fear of these aristocratic families.

"Brother!"

Chang Wenjun walked into the study with a smile on his face.

"Brother, I have already found out that that kid Wu Xiang is hiding in the Mohist Guild Hall."

Mr. Changping waved his hand.

"A pawn, don't worry about him for now."

Lord Changwen does not have the sense of crisis that Lord Changping has now, but is pleased with the expansion of their power after the downfall of Lu Buwei.

However, looking at Mr. Changping now, he is frowning.

"Brother, what are you worried about?"

"The current situation in Qin State is not good for us."

"This……"

Lord Changwen was puzzled, but he heard Lord Changping explain.

"The aristocratic family, foreign relatives, and Keqing formed the power map of the Qin State before the King of Qin was in power; but as the King of Qin was in power, Lu Buwei was exiled, and the power of the most powerful Keqing became the weakest. And we and those aristocratic families, in the Competing for the power vacancy left by Lu Buwei."

When Chang Wenjun heard this, he seemed to understand what Changping Jun meant.

"Brother, do you mean that we have become the target of public criticism?"

Mr. Changping nodded.

"The Qin people have always been jealous of us Chu people. Especially me, as the son of the Chu country, became the prime minister of the Qin country. After Lu Buwei left, I was even regarded as an enemy by those aristocratic families."

"But they're not doing anything right now."

"That's the problem."

Mr. Changping's face was serious, and his face looked stern.

"We are foreign relatives. After Lu Buwei left, we could form an alliance with those guest officials to deal with those noble families, but the situation didn't develop that way. Why?"

Changwen-jun was taken aback for a moment, but Changping-jun gave the answer directly.

"The most direct reason is that the pack of hungry wolves has been restrained."

Chang Wenjun looked a little surprised on his face, and blurted out.

"Zhao Shuang?"

Mr. Changping nodded, and unfolded the map on the table.

"Look, this is the business route map that Zhao Shuang reported to the Shaofu and Dianke."

Shaofu was in charge of the royal family's property, and Dianke was in charge of foreign affairs. If you want to do business with the Da Yuezhi, you can't get around these two departments.

Chang Wenjun glanced at the map, and the facilities along the route drawn on it are very complete, including small roads, post stations, stables, and border crossings... From Xianyang to Didao, everything has been built, and I am afraid it will affect tens of thousands of people. even more.

However, Chang Wenjun still had some doubts in his heart.

"It's bitterly cold in the northwest, are those descendants of the aristocratic clan willing to put in the effort?"

After all, Xianyang is prosperous, and Guanzhong is rich and prosperous. Who would not want to stay here, but go to the bitter cold place on the border of Longxi where the barbarians and barbarians are mixed and prisoners are exiled.

"Whoever has a way out will naturally refuse to go, but those bastards who can't get official positions in the court will naturally try."

The eldest son inheritance system means that most of the descendants of the aristocratic clan, when they leave home, at most get a share of the property, or get an official position that the family has sought for them.Those who are more miserable can only find their own way, and those who are ambitious will naturally go for it.

Mr. Changping shook his head.

"No matter what, quite a few descendants of the aristocratic clan are now under Zhao Shuang's control. The rest want to make trouble, but they have lost their original momentum. The important thing is that people like Li Si and Han Fei have faintly become the leaders of the new guest ministers. Their strength is still weak, and they are not willing to interfere with our struggle with the clan, so they have been restraining themselves."

"Then what should we do?"

Mr. Changping has sharp eyesight and is very accurate in judging the situation.

"The Qin family has begun to split. Although Zhao Shuang is young, he is the head of the family and has great influence in the army and the court. Especially after the Lai Ai Rebellion, his old tribe and the children of the clan Many people were promoted in the army. However, during this year, Zhao Shuang did not take the lead against Keqing and us as those old-school families wished, and was rejected by many people. Zhao Shuang took over the property left by Lu Buwei in Guanzhong , but did not share their share of the pie, even more so.”

"But those old things may not help us?"

Changwen Jun said, but saw Changping Jun smiled.

"That's natural. The more stable Zhao Shuang's foundation is, the more difficult it will be to deal with him. Once the business route with the Da Yue Clan is established, his power will become stronger."

Mr. Changping rubbed his hands on the map, feeling the texture of the delicate lines on the map.

"But we can't stop it."

"Not inside, but not necessarily outside."

Lord Changwen frowned, he had a lot of doubts about it, but he heard Lord Changping explain.

"We haven't broken our skin with Zhao Shuang yet, so naturally we can't confront him head-on. But of course someone will do this kind of thing."

"Brother is talking about traps."

The smile on Mr. Changping's face was even bigger, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

"Zhao Shuang has killed so many people in Luo Wang. As Luo Wang recovers, he will definitely find a way to deal with this great enemy. Instigating the barbarians on the border to make trouble and destroy them is Luo Wang's forte."

Mr. Changping put away the map on the desk case, the smile on his face remained undiminished.

"As for what we can do, we are still above the rivers and lakes. Zhao Shuang's greatest weakness lies in the Mohist school."

"The Mo family?"

Mr. Changping's words seemed to give Mr. Changwen a new way of thinking, but Mr. Changwen still didn't understand.

"But the farmer's family has already had a battle with the Mohist family before, and if it happens again, it may not be able to gain the upper hand, but it will affect our layout in the Central Plains."

"To deal with the Mohist, it doesn't have to be outside. The Mohist has also split internally, and Qin Mo and Yan Mo are clearly separated. Qin Mo is headed by the Mohist leader, while Yanmo's leader is even more mysterious."

"There are many speculations in Jianghu, but Yan Mo's leader does not seem to exist at all. There is no leader in the Mo family who can stand up to this power."

Faced with Chang Wenjun's doubts, Changping Jun restrained his smile and turned serious.

"The reason why I can't find it is because this leader is not in the rivers and lakes, but in the temple. He is the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom, Yan Dan!"

"what!"

This shocking information made Chang Wenjun's expression freeze.He didn't doubt the reliability of his brother's words, but he was still shocked by it.

"The leader of the Mo family is on the side of Zhao Shuang, which means that he and Yan Dan are mortal enemies, and it is destined to be impossible to reconcile. In this way, we can make Tian Guang secretly make friends with Yan Dan, help him expand his power, thereby split the Mo family, and find Zhao Shuang. Evidence to death."

Mr. Changping spoke slowly, clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes became farther and farther away.
