Chapter 94 The overall situation of enfeoffment

Xianyang City, Harem.

Ziying and Zhang Liang knelt down in front of several tables facing each other.

Nine days ago, Xiang Yu led his army to join forces with Sima Longju, defeated the Lingcheng and Shouwei who were resisting Chu in Hebei, and went north to conquer Loufan, one of the three Hus in the land of Yanzhao.

"I have been living in Xianyang for ten days. I wonder when King Qin plans to leave me?" Zhang Liang, dressed in white, asked.

"Mr. Zifang," Ziying said with a smile, "I have been searching for traces of assassins these past few days. I am thinking about Mr. Zifang's safety."

Zhang Liang was eager to return to his country, "The King of Qin once said that he would send guardsmen who look similar to me to lure assassins, but I have never heard of King Qin's actions. What does this mean?"

"Mr. Zifang, don't be anxious. The guardsmen are mediocre in appearance, so it's really hard to find suitable candidates." Ziying declined.

Zhang Liang sighed, this Ziying just wanted to keep him, and his excuses were too good.

For the past ten days, Ziying came to Zhang Liang every day to ask for advice on how to govern the country, and gained a lot.

Ziying pointed to the chess game originally invented by Han Xin on the table, "Mr. Zifang, please take a look at my newly developed Qin chess. When I explain the rules in detail, I invite Mr. Zifang to play together."

Zhang Liang had long been impatient, but Ziying always brought something novel every day, and Zhang Liang was still interested in learning about it.

"This is an elephant. The elephant in Xiang County has the character Tian. This is the horse, and the character is day." Ziying explained with a smile.

"The king is wrong, the horse should walk in a straight line." Lu Matong stood at the door while chewing the steamed buns that Ziying had steamed.

"Who asked you to come in? Go back outside the palace and eat your steamed buns." Ziying said displeased. Lu Matong had always been disrespectful of etiquette, and Han Tan didn't even bother to care about him.

"Back to the king, Mengtu has a letter to deliver to the king." Lu Matong smiled and handed Ziying the jute paper he had made a few days ago.

"I know, Lu Aiqing, please go down."

Ziying took the letter and deliberately did not open it. Xiang Yu pacified Hebei, and then enfeoffed the eighteen princes. Han Wangcheng was also among them. If Zhang Liang knew about it, he would not be able to delay it.

"Why didn't King Qin check it?" Zhang Liang felt strange.

"The disciple is probably investigating some country's secrets. Don't be in a hurry to see." Ziying said with a smile.

Lu Matong frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, Meng Tu said that Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi have become kings and are stationed around Xianyang. It shouldn't be a secret relationship."

Zhang Lianghui opened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Xiang Yu has been crowned king? Is the King of Han also among them?"

"It's also closed," Lu Matong replied.

Ziying winked at Lu Matong desperately.

"But Mengtu said that King Han Cheng is dead!" Lu Ma Tong understood and said anxiously.

"What?" Zhang Liang stood up suddenly, "How did he die?!"

"The King of Han... died of drunkenness."

Lu Matong's eyes were wandering, and Zhang Liang had already guessed that he was lying to him.

Zhang Liang breathed a long sigh of relief and knelt down on the spot, "I have no words to thank you for your great gift from the King of Qin. Now that the King of Han has been granted the title, I should return to the country to assist the king."

Ziying glared at Lu Matong and sighed, "Han Wangcheng is greedy for pleasure, so I'm afraid he will waste his great talent."

"King Qin, there is no need to say more. Even if the assassin is in Xianyang City, I will go straight to Yangzhai." Zhang Liang said decisively.

Ziying felt reluctant to give up, and was really jealous of Han Wangcheng. Just because he was born into the royal family of Han, he had such a great talent and was so determined.

"In that case, I will send someone to pretend to be Mr. to lure the assassin." Ziying said helplessly, "Sir, please wait for the good news."

"Thank you so much, King Qin."

Ziying shook his head and sighed, then walked out of the house.

Lu Matong followed behind, holding his tongue, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault."

"Forget it, you can't hide such a big thing from him. He doesn't want to stay here and will leave sooner or later." Ziying said.

Lu Matong reminded, "Mencius said that since Mr. Zifang is a great talent and cannot be retained, he must be killed. Otherwise, he will become a big problem in the future."

When Liu Bang was beaten to a pulp by Xiang Yu, it was Zhang Liang who made a clever plan in Xiayi and united with Wang Yingbu of Jiujiang and the powerful thief Peng Yue to fight against Chu, so that Liu Bang could turn defeat into victory. This kind of genius at the time is a bit scary.

But Ziying was really reluctant to kill Zhang Liang.

"Mr. Zifang legislated for the Qin Dynasty nine days ago. He is kind to the Qin Dynasty. Don't have such thoughts again." Ziying frowned.

"The disciples of Meng have said that they can send Qin disciples to intercept and kill him on the way, pretending to be a thief, or they can induce assassins to assassinate him, and then capture the assassins to avenge Mr. Zifang." Lu Matong said.

"Needless to say!" Ziying interrupted, "Tell this disciple not to think about this in the future, otherwise I will be severely punished!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ziying opened the jute paper and looked at the enfeoffment status of various princes while walking.

Except for Yong State, which assigned Nanzheng to Zhang Han, the territories of other monarchs remained exactly the same as before.

Originally, Zhang Liang bought Xiang Bo with a hundred gold and asked Xiang Yu to give it to Liu Bang. Now that Zhang Liang didn't say anything, Xiang Yu took advantage of the situation and gave it to Zhang Han, who showed his loyalty.

Bashu is a large pit surrounded by mountains, and Nanzheng is a small pit in the north. It is the gateway to and from Bashu, and it is also one of the three major granaries of the Qin State.

"If Nanzheng is not in his hands, how can Liu Bang secretly assassinate Chencang?" Ziying murmured.

Ziying continued to look down and was suddenly shocked. Liu Bang had been ill for a long time and was ignored by Lu!

Before being granted the title of king, Lu Pheasant spent a lot of money to bribe Lu Chen, who was close to Xiang Yu, so that he could return to Nanzheng. Unfortunately, Lu Chen was not Xiang Bo, so he rejected her.

"You really underestimated her. If so, many things would have changed." Ziying took a breath.

"Who is the person the king is talking about?" Lu Matong asked.

"A poisonous woman, a poisonous woman who harms her children and brings trouble to the harem."

As Ziying spoke, the door in front of him suddenly opened.
