The next day.
Return to the side hall of the middle palace.
Qin Luoheng was sitting on the banquet, with incense burning on the side and some food on the table, which was steaming right now.
He was not in a hurry to use his chopsticks.
Instead, he sat quietly in his spare time, as if he was still waiting for someone.
Not long after.
The sound of rustling footsteps could be heard outside the hall.
A eunuch walked respectfully into the palace.
He leaned over and said:
"Sir, Meng Zuojian is here."
Qin Luoheng smiled and said: "Invite Meng Zuojian in."
The eunuch agreed and left the side hall.
A dozen breaths later, Meng Yi, wearing a Xie Zhi crown, appeared in the palace. When he saw Qin Luoheng, Meng Yi bowed and said, "I'm here to see you, the Tenth Young Master."
Qin Luoheng frowned slightly.
He said with a smile: "I came back from somewhere. I don't know much about court etiquette, so I may not be very considerate in receiving guests. I took the liberty of inviting Meng Zuojian here this time because I want to discuss his birthday with him."
Regarding the matter of spring, I would like to ask Meng Zuojian to take a seat first."
Meng Yi lowered his eyebrows and glanced around.
The eyebrows are slightly raised.
Because there were only two table tables in the hall, Qin Luoheng had already taken a seat on one of them, and the only table table left was facing Qin Luoheng, which made Meng Yi really not dare to offend.
See the situation.
Qin Luoheng said indifferently:
"Prisoner Meng Zuo, don't be so surprised."
"This is a private banquet, there is no more Zhuangzhou, and the face-to-face conversation shows more sincerity."
"Besides."
"I'm a little presumptuous too."
"The food cooked by the imperial chef in the palace is all my favorite food, but most of it is fried food. I don't know if Meng Zuojian uses chopsticks or chopsticks that he doesn't use. Otherwise, I will ask the eunuch to change a pair of tableware for Meng Zuojian.
"
Meng Yi cupped his hands and said:
"I'm lucky enough to be the chef of the Tenth Young Master, and my subordinates have recently learned how to use chopsticks."
"My subordinates are grateful for the kindness of the ten young masters."
Meng Yi bowed respectfully to Qin Luoheng, and then sat down under the case.
Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"Meng Yi, you don't have to be so restrained."
"Just eat normally."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng did not speak again, but picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating by himself.
Meng Yi frowned slightly.
He glanced at Qin Luoheng suspiciously.
Finally, I picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating cautiously.
After eating half full, Qin Luoheng picked up the spoon and poured himself a bowl of hot soup. While drinking, he asked: "Meng Zuojian, what do you think of this Shouchun incident?"
Hear the words.
Meng Yi immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks.
He stood up and said:
"The subordinates believe that they should go to Shouchun as soon as possible to find out the truth, and then bring the three tribes of Qu, Zhao and Jing to justice, as well as the Chu officials who committed crimes and deceived the superiors and deceived them, so as to set the record straight and serve as a warning to others.
.”
Meng Yi looked upright.
Qin Luoheng blew hot air, as if he didn't agree with this statement.
He said calmly: "Meng Zuojian, I don't know much about the Chu region, but as far as I know, there are many old and new nobles in the Chu country. Not to mention the Xiong family, in addition to Qu, Zhao, and Jing, there are also the Mi family and the Xiang family.
The Qu, Zhao and Jing clans, such as the Song clan and the Qu clan, did not return to Shouchun for a long time. Perhaps because they spent a long time in Chu, it was easy to make peace with the local officials, but..."
"With the mentality of these three tribes, they may have long been unable to convince the public."
"With Qu Yuan's great talent, it is difficult to unite the nobles of Chu. How can he control the wind and rain in Chu after the three clans have declined?"
Meng Yi frowned.
Ning Sheng said:
"Young Master, what you said is wrong."
"The three clans of Qu, Zhao and Jing have indeed declined."
"But these three clans are from the same lineage as the Xiong clan with the Mi surname. They were all from Chu Kingdom clans. In the early Zhou Dynasty, the Qu clan, the Ruo Ao clan and the Xie clan were already the three major royal surnames in Chu.
Later, if the Ao clan and the Chu clan decline, the other two clans, the Jing clan and the Zhao clan, will rise, and then these three clans will always be at the top of the Chu Kingdom. Compared with other clans, the Qu clan can be said to be enduring."
"But whether they are the Ruo'ao family, the Xian family, or the Qu family, the Jing family, or the Zhao family, they are all from the same lineage of the Dukes of Chu."
"Chu has been a country for hundreds of years, and has ruled Chu for hundreds of years. It is deeply rooted in Chu. Therefore, after the demise of Chu, these three clans will definitely be dissatisfied with Qin, and they should rebel against Qin.
Within reason.”
"They are originally from the Chu Kingdom's clan. If they were to rebel against Qin, their appeal in Chu would probably be the most powerful."
"The subordinates didn't find anything strange."
Qin Luoheng nodded and shook his head.
said:
"Having said that."
"But in Qu Yuan's "Nine Chapters: Cherishing", he wrote: "I suddenly forgot my lowliness and poverty."
"I'm afraid that the Qu family had already declined during the time of Qu Yuan. Qu Gai, the patriarch of the Qu family, was captured during the subsequent battle between Qin and Chu. During the past ten years, most of the Qu family was guarded in Xianyang, and they had already left.
How can a downhill road have such appeal in Chudi?"
"In my opinion."
"Someone is planning this."
"The Qu, Zhao and Jing clans are old clans."
"They used to have a deep influence in the Chu region, but their influence has been reduced sharply in recent years, and most of them only radiate to the Shouchun area. The upstarts from Chu may have long been dissatisfied with these three major clans. After all, Shouchun is the capital of the king of Chu.
The land in Chu is the most fertile, and now the land annexation in Chu is extremely serious. The three major clans are currently holding on to the treasure without knowing it."
Hear the words.
Meng Yi's expression changed slightly.
He said solemnly:
"Young Master, do you think someone wants to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
"With the help of the imperial court, you can understand the three old clans in Chudi?"
"But after the world is unified, the remnants of the six countries can only survive and are busy with internal strife and private fights. Isn't this a loss of self-strength?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head and said:
"No."
"This is not a loss of one's own strength."
"It's about integrating forces."
"The land of Chu has been scattered and vain since ancient times, and its power is difficult to integrate. In addition to the incompetence of Chu's official family, the old and new clans of Chu are entangled with each other, so that they cannot form a joint force. At present, the situation of Da Qin is peaceful. If it continues, the remnants of the six kingdoms will
, there would be no chance of turning around, so they began to make a desperate move."
"Eradicate dissidents and then integrate forces!"
"The remnants of Chu are still very strong in their anti-Qin aspirations."
Meng Yi looked gloomy.
He opened his mouth and said, "What do you want, Master?"
Qin Luoheng's eyes closed slightly.
He put down the bowl and chopsticks and took out a chessboard from under the table.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The black and white above have already been settled.
Qin Luoheng held black and said with a smile: "I'm not good at Go, and I've been trying to make up for it in recent days. I wonder if Meng Zuojian is willing to play a game with me?"
Meng Yi reached out and took Bai Zi.
said:
"Dare you disobey your orders?"
immediately.
Meng Yi looked at the chess game carefully.
Now it is White who moves first, but now White is in trouble. Part of White's chess only has one eye, and Black Flag has a great advantage. Under hedging, it can even directly kill the white dragon.
Qin Luoheng said lightly:
"Now Qin Chu is just like a chess player."
"Although Da Qin has a lot of power, it has not yet gained stability. It may be attacked by the opponent at any time, and its whole body can be affected by a single move. As long as one of its sons misses the mark, it will easily kill the dragon, and then the whole game will be lost."
"The black chess piece in the corner is like an upstart from the Chu Kingdom who is wandering around."
"If we only focus on the black flag on the board, even if we can get the second eye, we may not be able to prevent the big dragon from being slaughtered. Therefore, we must drag the black piece in the corner into the water. Only in this way can we complete the work."
Finished.
Qin Luoheng started to make moves.
Immediately, he said bluntly:
"The reason why this incident occurred was because of Yin Tong, the censor."
"Yin Tong was the governor of Kuaiji County before Yin Tong. Kuaiji County was the hometown of Wu and Yue before Yin Tong. It was later annexed by Chu State and can be regarded as the land of Chu. I once had a friend who came from Wu County. He once told me that there are people in Kuaiji County.
The Xiang family is around, and although I don't know if Yin Tong and the Xiang family have any intersection, there is a Xiang family in the county, and Yin Tong didn't notice it. At least he is derelict in his duty."
Hear the words.
Meng Yi's heart trembled.
He took a deep look at Qin Luoheng.
I already know it in my heart.
Things in Chu Di this time may not be that simple.
If what the Tenth Young Master said is true, Yin Tong may be colluding with the Xiang family, and Yin Tong's advocate of eliminating the three major clans may be clearing obstacles for the Xiang family.
Meng Yi said: "Master, do you think Yin Tong should be investigated first?"
Qin Luoheng shook his head.
He said contemptuously: "Yin Tong is just like this Luozi now, destined to be eaten. His existence is no longer important after Luozi, because his role has been achieved."
"And what we have to do now is continue to use it."
"after all......"
"This is a white piece!"
Meng Yi was puzzled.
Doubtfully said:
"Yin Tong has colluded with the remnants of the Chu region, so how can he be considered a white man?"
Qin Luoheng smiled.
He said coldly:
"It all depends on the player's skills."
"Yin Tong may be an eye of Chu Di, but as we already know about this eye, we can do some things around this eye, so that the white piece can make some contributions to the white piece before it is captured."
Meng Yi said: "What do you want to do, Master?"
Qin Luoheng said:
"wait!"
"Wait?" Meng Yi frowned.
Qin Luoheng nodded.
Said: "There are two ways to move on the current chessboard. One is to charge straight, but once it is blocked, it will not be of any help to the follow-up ward. Instead, it will enrich black's ward. This way of playing is harmful to black.
It is advantageous for the chess piece, but it is absolutely unacceptable for the white chess piece."
"So we can only do it first and test black's skills."
Meng Yi looked at the chess board.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Young Master, do you think we should not rush things too hastily?"
"As a test."
"And if you want to test it, you should release some news."
Speaking of which.
Meng Yi understood immediately.
Qin Luoheng didn't want to go to Shouchun so early.
Instead, they are waiting for Yin Tong to pass the news to the Xiang family to test the Xiang family's actions. If the Xiang family chooses to sit back and completely abandon the Qu, Zhao, and Jing clans, and wait until the Qu, Zhao, and Jing clans know that the imperial court intends to
When these three tribes take action, they will definitely make many radical moves and even directly provoke civil strife in the Chu region. At that time, the Qin Dynasty may even win without a fight.
When placed on the chess board, Xiang cannot block it, otherwise the local black flag will be dead.
If the Xiang clan and other clans get involved, it will directly lead to a killing situation.
But in this case, there are many more variables.
Meng Yi said in a condensed voice:
"Young master, do you want to catch all the nobles of Chu region?"
Qin Luoheng smiled.
said:
"This is the unfinished war between Qin and Chu."
"Qin was victorious when it destroyed Chu, but the land of Chu was not completely surrendered. Otherwise, Duke Nan of Chu would not have openly said when he was captured, 'Although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will surely die.' The nobles of Chu have always
It’s because they are unwilling to do so, they always want to make a comeback, or even turn defeat into victory.”
"Which battle did not defeat the Chu people?"
"You have been in court for a long time, and you should have heard a lot of things. The Chu region has always had the most obscene customs, the worst public security, and the most common robbers. If you want the Chu region to be fully integrated into the Qin Dynasty, you must not only start from
The subjects must be conquered militarily, but also defeated psychologically, so that they will deeply realize that Chu has never been the opponent of Qin from the beginning to the end."
"It didn't work in the past, and it can't work now even more!"
"This is a war."
"A war without smoke."
"In this battle, Da Qin can only win, not lose."
"Just like the white pieces on the chessboard, Da Qin is not stable at the moment. It is like a big dragon. If it is attacked and forced, a little carelessness may cause the dragon to be slaughtered, and then the whole game will be lost."
"Now I want to use Chu land as a chessboard."
"The ego holds the white piece, and the Chu family noble has the black piece. Let's play a game of chess."
"I also want to see if my three-legged cat's chess skills can win a game."
"Then..."
"Let Chu Di become a lamb to be slaughtered!"
Qin Luoheng gave birth to another son.
Meng Yi frowned. He looked at the chess board, then at Qin Luoheng, and said: "Young master is indeed very courageous, but the nobles of Chu are not the black pieces on the chessboard after all. If they hear the news and flee directly, we will
If you hesitate, wouldn’t it be a waste of time, and wouldn’t you be letting the tiger go back to the mountain?”
Finished.
Meng Yi lost a son.
Qin Luoheng glanced at it and said contemptuously: "Life is like chess, you have no regrets when you make a move."
"They lost the game first. Since they lost the game, they have to finish the game. If they don't play, they will admit defeat."
"They won't admit defeat."
"and......"
"They may also want to compete."
"Test the extent of Da Qin's control over the world, and then prepare for subsequent rebellions."
Meng Yi shook his head.
He said in a deep voice:
"I already know the master's thoughts."
"It's just that, since the young master already knows that Chu and Da Qin are at odds with each other, once this news comes out, it will definitely attract their attention. When the time comes, local officials and Chu nobles will collude with each other and protect each other. Aren't we going to be unable to do anything about them?"
Qin Luoheng said coldly:
"Do you think there is a way now?"
"Since these people dared to throw out the three tribes of Qu, Zhao and Jing, they may have already thought of a way to escape. Now that we have gone over, we can only find the three tribes of Qu, Zhao and Jing, as well as some abandoned officials.
Don’t expect to find out anything else.”
"Since they dare to plot against the imperial court and let the imperial court be the wielder of the sword, I will sharpen the blade of the sword. I want to see if these people can hold the hilt of the sword!"
"This sharp blade of Da Qin can only be held in one's own hands, and will never become a blade in the hands of others!"
Qin Luoheng's eyes were extremely cold.
Cold voice said:
"The imperial court will investigate Chu Di's affairs and let the outside world spread them."
"In the past, Great Qin tried to appease the world. This time, I will be a person who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos. I also want to see if the people in Chu have the guts to touch the sharp blade of Great Qin in full view of the public.
I also want to see how many people in Chudi dare to seek death!"
Finished.
Qin Luoheng walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
And when I was moving, I didn’t know when another piece fell on the chess piece.
Seeing this, Meng Yi's expression changed again and again, and finally he looked at Qin Luoheng with a complicated expression.
