At that time, during the ceremony to worship the gods, the King of Chu wanted to make him the God of Punishment.
Xiang Yan was very happy afterwards.
Because once he becomes the God of Punishment, the King of Chu will never tolerate him.
At that time, either the Xiang family will be wiped out, or the Xiang family will rebel.
There will be no third way.
No matter which choice he made, it would be a heavy blow that Da Chu could not bear.
Fortunately, Xiang Yan did not accept the God of Punishment and was still a mortal. If the King of Chu wanted to use him, he still maintained a reluctant relationship between king and minister.
But now, Shao Yu has become the God of Punishment?
"How can he be in harmony with God when he is still a child?"
Facing Xiang Yan's roar, Xiang Bo was excited and said sarcastically: "I originally wanted to take up the position of God of Punishment and help my father make up his mind, but I didn't expect..."
Liu Ji didn't know how to get the recognition of the Six Gods of God, and the power of the Great Chu Canglong Qisu, in order to make Xiang Bo and the God of Punishment coincide.
Unexpectedly, the power of the God of Punishment did not recognize Xiang Bo at all, but instead poured into the body of the three-year-old Xiang Yu.
But the result is the same.
With the God of Punishment, the Xiang clan could no longer be tolerated by the King of Chu.
"You're a treacherous bastard!"
Xiang Yan was so angry that she stabbed with her sword. Xiang Bo avoided it in shock, but he saw that his father's temples were turning gray. He looked like he had aged more than ten years. He raised his head and screamed: "Ahhhhhh!"
Xiang Bo bowed his head in shame, and Liu Ji waited calmly.
Sure enough, after Xiang Yan vented his anger, he waved his guards to disperse and looked at Liu Ji coldly: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"This time the Chu army attacks Handan, it will definitely be defeated. When the King of Chu escapes, Daliang will be the burial place of this foolish king!"
Zhang Liang walked out, followed by the nobles of Wei and Qi.
Under Xiang Yan's bloody suppression, the nobles of the Three Kingdoms suffered heavy casualties, but the dignitaries headed by the Korean family Zhang stayed dormant and their strength was intact.
Now they have joined forces with Wei Qi to defeat him.
Xiang Yan asked in a deep voice: "After the assassination of the king, who will be the king of Chu, and what about Qin?"
Zhang Liangdao: "I have made contact with the Chu forces in Qin, and Bao Changpingjun will return to the country and succeed him as King of Chu!"
"Changpingjun is the king of Chu?"
Xiang Yan was startled, with thoughts in his eyes.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed feasible.
Changping Jun is the eldest son of the current King of Chu. However, he has been growing up in Qin since his birth and has never returned to Chu. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would not be his turn for the King of Chu.
However, it was revealed that the prince was the son of Lord Changping and had been deposed. The remaining princes were either cowardly and incompetent or too young. From this look, if Lord Changping returned to Chu, he would be able to succeed to the throne.
Lord Changping was also the brother-in-law of the King of Qin. After the Chu army was defeated by Qin, he professed vassalage to Qin and was demoted to a vassal state. As long as he could survive this disaster, he would have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
However, this is the most ideal situation. Whether King Qin will allow Chu to take a breather and whether Lord Changping is willing to join Chu are all big questions.
"General Xiang, don't worry. I have convinced Lord Changping that he also has a way to stop the Qin army's attack."
Zhang Liang saw what Xiang Yan was worried about, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Whether the Xiang family will be buried with the King of Chu, or whether they will be put to death and survive, you can decide with your word!"
"The Zhang family has a queen!"
A game of chess that was originally a dead game actually came alive in Zhang Liang's hands. Xiang Yan took a deep breath and said, "For the sake of Dachu, let's start an uprising!"
…
…
"Brother! Ahem! I can't accompany you back to Chu!"
"Stop talking! Take good care of your health! As long as you return to Dachu, I will definitely find a way to use the Ming Si to prolong your life!"
In Xianyang Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Changping held Lord Changwen's hand, tears filling his eyes.
Chang Wenjun was really born with a defect and had been frail and sick since he was a child. At this time, when he was just over 30 years old, he was already exhausted, and all the medical experts were useless.
The only one who can save Chang Wenjun may be Si Ming, one of the six gods in charge of life and death.
"Being a god is a lie. The Chu Kingdom Zuo has come to an end. Don't join Chu!"
Chang Wenjun looked pale, but shook his head slowly.
"But what can I do if I continue to stay in Daqin?"
Mr. Changping was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly.
If he had a choice, why would he return to Chu?
Not because the King of Qin reused Li Si and others, the power of the Chu family in the court plummeted, and his position as prime minister was about to be lost.
I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. It sounds nice, but there is deep helplessness behind it!
Historically, after the defeat of Chu State, Lord Changwen died, and Lord Changping rebelled against Qin and joined Chu. Xiang Yan regarded him as the King of Chu and called on all regions to raise troops to fight against Qin.
However, the Chu state had already lost its power at that time, and after surviving for a while, it was still destroyed by Wang Jian.
Logically speaking, Lord Changping is very aware of the power gap between the two countries, so why did he make this choice?
Patriotism towards Chu?
It’s really difficult for someone like him who grew up in the Qin State to be patriotic. The fundamental reason is that his status in the Qin State has been marginalized.
Perhaps in the eyes of Lord Changping, how could Yingzheng be willing to cross the river and destroy the bridge, use their brothers to capture Lao Ai and Lu Buwei, and then sweep them aside?
The same is true now.
"Don't go into Chu!"
But Chang Wenjun gasped and held Chang Ping Jun's arm tightly, but he persuaded: "As long as the son from my sister succeeds to the throne, our Chu family can regain power!"
"Fusu?"
Lord Changping shook his head: "The king is in his prime, how long will it take for him to succeed to the throne?"
"No! It's Hu Hai!"
Chang Wenjun was on his deathbed and had no worries anymore: "I have been tracking down that mysterious organization Tianshu these years. Its leader is not Zhao Ji as we suspected, but probably Hu Hai!"
Chang Pingjun's pupils shrank and he stood up suddenly: "Impossible!"
Chang Wenjun's breathing became rapid, and he said intermittently: "Don't go to the Chu Kingdom... to protect Hu Hai's ascendancy... I, the Chu family... still have a chance... agree..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
The hand dropped.
Lord Changping was in great mourning and closed his eyes for Lord Changwen, but he did not listen to his brother's last words: "It is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. If it is really Hu Hai, I will return to Chu State to seize the opportunity!"
…
…
"Mr. Changping has returned to Chu."
Tian Yan checked the message on the Suzaku machine and said calmly.
"He comes from a noble family and has been in a high position for a long time. He doesn't understand the overall situation. Is he so unwise?"
Even though he had expected it, Da Siming was still surprised when he actually heard the news.
"Those who are in authority are confused, but onlookers are clear!"
Gu Cheng was reading Qing Shizi's novels without raising his head: "Changping Jun has great ambitions but few talents. Zhang Liang saw this clearly and promoted him to the position of King of Chu as a puppet."
"Zhang Liang has a brilliant plan. With his plan, Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang charge into the battle, and then unite with the Xiang family, Liu Ji's momentum is achieved."
What Tian Yan was puzzled about was this aspect: "Master, why should you allow him to become more powerful and increase the number of variables?"
Although Liu Ji's uprising will tear the Chu state into pieces, Chu's national destiny and military strength are rapidly declining, and Qin has already gained an absolute advantage.
Wang Jian commanded an army of 300,000 people, and Li Mu commanded a cavalry of 150,000 people. The two generals joined forces. Not to mention the mediocre King of Chu, even if Xiang Yan came in person, there was no chance that he could conquer the Central Plains in one battle.
Under this situation, Liu Ji's rise became a variable. In Tian Yan's view, there was really no reason to keep him alive, and he should clear out his holes and catch them all.
Gu Cheng smiled, put down the book and said, "If there is a difficult problem in front of you, you are in a dilemma, and no matter what choice you choose, it is not the right choice, what would you do?"
Tian Yan's eyes showed he was thinking, and he spoke slowly: "There is a dilemma, and you need to be able to compromise. In the past..."
As soon as she started, Da Siming said without hesitation: "Who dares to pose such a problem to the young master? Just take it!"
The corners of Gu Cheng's lips raised: "Just what I want!"
