emperor of a dynasty

On the sixth day of February, the Qin army went south to fight against the Shu Kingdom to quell the chaos. The Duke of Lu was indeed a greedy and lustful monarch. Zhang Sui, the prime minister of Chu State, just sighed a long time when he learned about it, shook his head and said, "Lu State is dead".At night, Zhang Sui went to the palace to face the king. The new king of Chu was the fifth son of the previous king. He was originally a dandy, but he could speak eloquently. Increasingly addicted to sensuality, indulging in dogs and horses, and worrying about the country, Zhang Sui's remonstrance time and time again has already annoyed the king of Chu. If it weren't because Zhang Sui was an old minister, he might have been deposed according to the temperament of the king of Chu. he.

"My subject Zhang Ju, I have met the king..." Zhang Sui saluted.

"Oh, it's the Prime Minister..." The king of Chu, who was awakened from the gentleness, was obviously a little unhappy, but after all, the other party was the prime minister, and he entered the palace at night, so he might have something urgent, so he said patiently, "Prime Minister Visiting late at night, what's the matter?"

"I'm here for the Qin army to go south."

"Qin country going south?"

"Does my king know that the Qin army has gone south into Shu today?"

"I know." The King of Chu said indifferently, "The Qin army went south to pacify the chaos in Shu. Qin and Shu have in-laws, so it's still their family affairs. Why? Your Excellency, do you have something to say?"

"Your Majesty, do you really think that this is just Qin's family affairs?!" Zhang Sui was a little annoyed, "Your Majesty, at this moment, at that moment, the present Qin State is no longer the former Qin State! We must guard against it! !"

"What is it that the former Qin State and the present Qin State are all reckless after all?" I am not afraid that the King of Chu will look down on Qin State. Qin State has been known for its combativeness for a hundred years.

"Aiqing, I have a big Chu, is it possible that the whole country will defend itself just because the Qin State went south to handle some housework? Don't you make a big deal out of it? If it spreads out, won't the nations laugh at the fact that we are all soldiers?!"

"Your Majesty, do you know who the prime minister of Qin is now?"

"I know, isn't it just Yan Wuwei?" The King of Chu looked at the half-century-old prime minister standing under the stage with some doubts, "What does Ai Qing want to say? Could it be possible to let the widow be on guard against a woman?"

"Speaking of Qin's Yan Xiang, the king must know very little, and the minister is not talented, but he knows a thing or two."

"Oh? Aiqing might as well talk about it."

"The world laughs at the birth of a female king in Qin, and then a female prime minister. There is no successor when there is a female king, but when there is a female prime minister, the world laughs at the lack of talent in the men of Qin, and the stupidity of the world. I don't know if this female Prime Minister has a great background, if she is not a great talent, how can she convince the people?" Zhang Sui's elderly voice echoed in the empty hall, and he paused every word, "It is said that the old man who has been a great talent in the world has lived a lifetime. He once accepted three disciples, one said: Lang; the other said: Wu; A crumbling small country has been supported by one of the 'Three Hegemons', does your majesty know?"

"I know." The King of Chu collected his expression, nodded solemnly and said, "Mr. Lang's name is as loud as thunder in the ears of all countries."

"In this way, the king must be more careful about Yan Wuwei."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because the 'Wu' of one of Shizi's three major disciples is most likely the Qin Xiangyan Wuwei."

The King of Chu was startled, and then laughed heartily: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Aiqing, Aiqing is probably unreasonable to worry about, isn't it? Regardless of whether the corpse is alive, he should be hundreds of years old tonight, just because of the identity of Yan Wuwei's woman, the corpse How could the son accept her as a disciple?!"

"Your Majesty—" Zhang Sui made a big salute, and said in a deep voice, "How can the great talent of the corpse be restricted by the gender identity of his disciples?! The state of Qin now looks the same as it used to on the surface, but in terms of ordinary In the chaos of Shu, 20 troops were sent out, my lord! Don’t you think it’s scary?! Last year, Qin was still in a state of chaos where the king died in battle and no one succeeded him. It’s only been half a year now, and he’s recovered so quickly ——Your Majesty! Don’t you feel your back getting cold?!”

Zhang Sui's words suddenly reminded the King of Chu, he paused, "It's exactly as Ai Qing said." The King of Chu stood up from the throne and paced back and forth. Although he is a dude, he is also a descendant of the Chu royal family. It's definitely not a fool as the world says.

"Aiqing, if this is the case, Qin will have to guard against it!"

"I, Wang Shengming!"

"What's your opinion, Ai Qing?"

"Yi Chen thinks, now that the Qin army is entering Shu, the land of Shu is dangerous, even though there are many Qin troops, it is useless - it is inevitable that the army will not be trapped in the land of Shu."

The King of Chu nodded, "In this way, Qin's domestic defenses will be relaxed. Is Aiqing wanting my Chu State to attack Qin?" Qin and Shu have relatives by marriage, no one can take this matter as an argument, Qin and Chu are far apart, and the two countries have peaceful relations, if they attack Qin rashly, Chu may lose its population."

"My lord, the state of Chu is far away, but the state of Lai is very close." Zhang Sui said, "The Qin army sent 20 troops, and Lu borrowed his way from Qin. ——Your Majesty, what would happen if you were there?"

King Chu's eyes turned cold, "Destroy the State of Lu!"

"The state of Qin certainly thinks the same way. So, when Shu and Lu merged into Qin, we are only separated from us by the state of Lai and the state of Song." Zhang Sui said calmly, "Lai is a small country and cannot resist Qin. If the land of Shu is merged into the land of Qin, won't Lai, which is adjacent to Shu, feel panic?"

"Does Aiqing want Chu to support Lai to fight against Qin?" The King of Chu pondered for a while, "If you can rely on Lai's national strength, it won't last long."

"With Lai Guo against Qin, we can free up time to form an alliance."

The King of Chu paused for a moment, then nodded, "I understand, I'll leave Aiqing to worry about this matter."

"Hi."

Uncle Qin's Mansion

"Bam—"

A teacup was slammed to the ground with a crisp sound, and the servants knelt on the ground in fear and dared not speak.

It took a long time before Gongshuji's gloomy voice sounded: "Where is your son?"

The servants looked at each other without saying a word.

Uncle Ji's face became even colder, "Are you in the brothel again? - Come on!"

"exist!"

"Go and find the young master!"

"Hi--"

When Gong Shucheng was found, he was still sleeping on the bed of the courtesan in the brothel. When he heard that his father was looking for him, his face turned pale with fright, and he ran back to the mansion. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father, Gong Shuji, with a gloomy face. Sitting on the main seat of the main hall, the surrounding servants had already gone to receive the punishment. Uncle Cheng trembled, walked forward tremblingly, and asked for peace:

"I have seen my father..."

"You still know how to come back?" Uncle Gong sneered, "How good are the women in the brothel? They let you stay in the brothel every day regardless of your newly married daughter-in-law. Uncle Gong, you are really a good son of this old man. "

Hearing this, Uncle Gong knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in panic, "Father, father..." At the same time, he hated his daughter-in-law who had just passed the door.

Uncle Cheng’s daughter-in-law who just passed through the door is the aunt’s daughter-in-law. With a broken leg, who ever thought that his son would not live up to expectations, his mind was full of women in the brothel, and he didn't pay attention to the daughter of the Shangshu family. Of course, Gong Shuji was annoyed at his son's failure to live up to expectations, but he had a son in his later years, just this one Son, no matter how annoyed he was, there was nothing he could do, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Cheng'er, you are already twenty-five years old this year, so you should take care of yourself. The one at home should be the one you should care about. The one outside is just for fun. Do you understand?" Thinking of something, his voice lowered a bit, "Master Shangshu's daughter-in-law is good in character, talent and appearance, and it is not impossible to be your queen in the future, so don't worry about it. All my hard work is in vain!"

Uncle Gong lowered his head and said reassuringly, "My child understands."

Uncle Gong nodded quickly, and said again, "The current situation is already serious. The king has avoided Uncle Gong's house several times, Cheng'er—do you know why?"

"Could it be that... the king, the king has already suspected us?"

"Doubt?" Uncle Gong sneered, "Is she still spending time doubting? I'm afraid she is already determined to get rid of us!"

"Father—" the uncle said in awe, "That, that..."

The uncle pondered for a while, and said, "Now you will take your new daughter-in-law to your father-in-law's house. The new year is just over, so it's time to go back home to visit relatives."

"The child understands."

"Wait." The uncle quickly stopped his son who was going out, and told him, "Don't make any trouble, and treat your wife well."

"My child understands."

After seeing his father in the front hall, Gong Shucheng went to his own room in the backyard. The servant Zhao Si who had always followed him hurried forward, "Young master, young master..."

Uncle Gong turned around, saw that it was Zhao Si, and the gloomy expression on his face became a little more serious, "Idiot! Father returned home early today and you didn't come to call me?!"

As he said he was about to kick the opponent, Zhao Si hurriedly dodged: "My lord, my lord, how dare the villain not call you, it's really that the master came back so suddenly today, and he called the servants as soon as he came back." When we got there, we had a big fuss together...the villain, the villain is also wronged."

Uncle Gong sincerely knew his father's temper. After hearing Zhao Si's words, his anger subsided a little, but his expression was still gloomy: "Really?"

"Yes, son..."

"That's enough, that's enough." Uncle Gong said a little annoyed, "Now my father wants me to take my young lady back home to visit relatives, you go and get ready."

"Hi--"

The news of Uncle Cheng’s return quickly spread to the south wing. The south wing was occupied by none other than Uncle Cheng’s new wife, Xue Xiaojie, who had just been married for less than half a year. Xue Xiaojie’s father was the head of the three provinces. Lei, who was originally in charge of government affairs, at the beginning Uncle Ji tried his best to find this marriage for his son because he took a fancy to the power in the hands of his father Xue Lei. Xue Lei, who is not very useful, is now just hanging up a idle job. Naturally, the situation of the daughter who was originally married to the uncle's house is not very good.Except for Gongshucheng asking a few questions at the beginning of the marriage, and then throwing her into the south wing and ignoring her, Xue Xiaojie is stubborn and doesn't know how to please her husband. When Shucheng went to bed, he was so angry that Gongshucheng slapped her across the face on the spot, flung his sleeves and left, and never entered her room since then. When her reliable husband wanted to take her home to visit relatives, she was more worried than happy.

No, she doesn't like it at all.

Because she didn't want to go back and see her father's greedy face and her mother's red eyes from crying.
