Chapter 151 I Let You Zhao Dabao

Chang'an Palace.

"Your Highness, Lord Hanyang has already received a reply."

Cheng Yu took the letter written by his subordinate from Zhao Shuang, took a look at it, and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, what did Lord Hanyang say?"

"The words are meaningless, but the words are high-sounding."

Cheng Yu smiled and threw the letter into the brazier. In this palace, all the ministers of Lord Chang'an looked at each other, and they didn't know what the letter from Lord Hanyang wrote?

Chang'an Jun is the son of King Zhuangxiang of Qin. If Lu Buwei had not set up the position to take Zhao Ji's mother and son back to Qin as hostages in Zhao, then the current position of King Qin would be his.

Lu Buwei was a businessman from the Wei Kingdom. He had a talent for managing the world, and he had a unique talent. He teamed up with the Queen Mother of Huayang to help a humble Zhao hostage to the throne of the Qin Kingdom.

After that, Lu Buwei joined forces and successfully squeezed out the forces on Chengyu's side.

Lu Buwei became the Prime Minister of the Qin State. After taking control of the government, many people stood against him.

Among them, many people were once allies of Lu Buwei.

Behind Cheng Yu were the Empress Dowager Huayang, Chang Pingjun's Chu relatives, the Queen Mother Xia's Korean relatives, the Qin clan who were dissatisfied with Lu Buwei, and some aristocratic families who wanted to speculate.

In addition, the Chang'an lord's fiefdom is in Chang'an, across the water from Xianyang. The fields in the territory are fertile and there are many soldiers, which poses a great threat to Xianyang.

But even so, Chengyu's own military strength in his own territory alone was unable to shake the capital of Qin.

Under the feudal system, feudal lords in various places had huge power, and they had both soldiers and money. The demise of the Jin Kingdom was due to the strength of the Liu clan, which hollowed out the foundation of the Jin monarch.

But after Shang Jun's reform, the system of Qin State began to slowly transform from a feudal monarchy.

Even at this moment, the King of Qin has no pro-government, Lu Buwei is in power, and the Qin State's external military strength is strong, but internally it is quite frivolous and its foundation is unstable. However, the huge inertia of the Qin State's military merit title system still has the ability to suppress the power of the monarch.

Lu Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin, owned a food town of 100,000 households in Luoyi. But based on this alone, Chenglong is not afraid. The key is that Lu Buwei is still the prime minister of Qin.

With Chang'an Jun's own military strength, he was unable to confront Lu Buwei, so he needed to rely on the rest of the Qin State.

Whether it is an aristocratic family, the Qin clan, or an official among relatives and relatives who is dissatisfied with being squeezed out.

They have private soldiers and financial resources, and most importantly, they are dissatisfied with Lu Buwei.

Given the size of the Qin State, there may be many of these people, but there are only a few key people.

Zhao Shuang, Lord of Hanyang, quickly appeared in the eyes of everyone in Xianyang following Lu Buwei's recommendation. Before, no one noticed that corner. But once you pay attention, detailed information will continue to come.

Zhao Shuang has the attributes of a noble family and a clan, and his territory is also very close to Guanzhong.

From Yongdi, go down the Han River, enter Nanyang, then march along the Shangyu Road, and go up along the Dan River. If you go fast, you can reach Guanzhong in half a month.

This is a reinforcement that is on the fringes but can be won. Especially when the Lantian camp was captured by Fan Yuqi and the natural barrier of Wuguan was no longer an obstacle.

If Cheng Yu wanted to gather these forces, he would naturally need to gain a certain amount of mutual trust. The letters exchanged between the two parties were one of them, but Zhao Shuang's letter contained no truth at all and was not even valuable as evidence.

"Your Highness, what did Lord Hanyang say?"

Cheng Yu smiled and did not answer.

"Without that, let's move on to other things."

Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Is that so?"

Lu Buwei was sitting behind the desk, with a man in black robe standing in front of him.

"Xiangbang, after Cheng Yu received Zhao Shuang's letter, he immediately burned it. There must be a hidden secret in it."

Lu Buwei nodded and asked suddenly.

"Did Cheng Xi burn it in public after receiving the letter?"

"Yes!"

Lu Buwei smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Go down and continue to monitor."

"promise!"

After the man in black robe left, Wei Zhuang, who had never spoken, spoke.

"This news has been leaked. I have received more than one piece of information, all about this matter."

Lu Buwei didn't care, he leaned back and leaned on the back couch.

"Zhao Shuang has five thousand troops in his hands, which is a force that cannot be ignored. There may not be anyone in Guanzhong who has more private soldiers than him. The communication with him is supposed to be top secret, why should it be opened in public? Since it is opened in public Yes, why did he burn it in public?"

"What does Xiangbang mean?"

"It seems that Cheng Yu doesn't want his two thousand gold to go to waste."

Lu Buwei looked at Wei Zhuang with a smile on his face.

"I can't let my thousand gold go to waste."

Wei Zhuang felt Lu Buwei's gaze and lowered his head slightly.

"I see."

Lu Buwei nodded, seeming very satisfied with Wei Zhuang, this smart subordinate.

Wei Zhuang walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and turned into a remote dark alley. Two men in black suddenly appeared and knelt down in front of him.

"Lord Wei Zhuang!"

"You go and do one thing for me. Spread the news that Cheng Yu gave Zhao Shuang two thousand gold. It's best to make it known to everyone."

Watching the two people leave, Wei Zhuang showed a smile on his face, and the resentment accumulated in his heart seemed to dissipate.

"I'll let you Zhao Dabao!"

Zhaojiacun.

Zhao Shuang was eating melon when he heard Bai Feng's information.

"What did you say?"

"There are rumors in Guanzhong that you have a close relationship with Lord Chang'an and have close contacts."

Zhao Shuang was stunned. The melon in his hand suddenly became less sweet.

"You're trying to put a shit basin on my head!"

"Lord, what should we do?"

Zhao Shuang put down the melon in his hand and sighed.

"It seems that Lu Buwei and Cheng Xiu are not so easy to collect money from!"

When neither Lu Buwei nor Cheng Yu wanted to let Zhao Shuang watch the show from the sidelines, the two worked together and the effect was remarkable.

"Lord, what should I do?"

Zhao Shuang touched his face, lay on the railing, and smiled slightly.

"Cheng Yu wants to make me take sides, but why should Lu Buwei help him? What good will it do to him to push me to Chang'an Jun's side?"

"What do you mean, Lord?"

"Lü Buwei asked Fan Yuqi to take control of the Lantian camp, and also asked me to be king, and gave me the land north of the Han River. In fact, he integrated the power of Cheng Yu, Changping Lord and me to form a unified force. A force that is enough to threaten the royal power."

"I am just a pretext. No matter how many troops we have, we are still in a remote location. Half a month is enough to affect too many things. Lu Buwei wants to use me to deal with Lord Changping and Cheng Xi."

The setting sun is still shining, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the continuous houses and fertile fields under the high pavilion, seeming to add a layer of color to the mountains and rivers, making it peaceful and warm.

Zhao Shuang turned around and waved his sleeves, but there was a hint of murderous intent on his face.

"Get rid of his minions and cut off his support. Once Lu Buwei no longer has absolute certainty, he will not be so aggressive."

Mo Ya and Bai Feng lowered their heads, but saw Zhao Shuang smile slightly.

"Presumably both Cheng Xi and Chang Ping would be happy to see this happen."
