Chapter 119 Twilight Nobles (please ask for rewards and monthly votes!)

Xiong Qi was grateful for the opportunity given by King Qin.

But he never forgot that the reason why he became the prime minister of Qin was because the nobles of Chu under his command had been loyal to him for many years.

He relied on the strength of these people to become the prime minister. Now that he has lost power, they have not switched to others and have always surrounded him.

Do you want to abandon them?

"In my world, there is no such thing. The handsome man is here, the pawn is here, the chariot is here, the horse is here, and the elephant is here."

"If the commander can abandon the rook, the commander will be there, the pawns, the horse, and the bishop will be there, and the rook can survive. But if the commander refuses to abandon the cart, the pawns, horses, and elephants will not necessarily die, but the commander will die first." Fusu also said seriously. .

The two looked at each other, and Xiong Qi's hand firmly held the wine baron on one side.

"According to your wishes, it will be death anyway."
-
Guanfu was waiting under the willow tree in the backyard, holding his sword in both hands, feeling impatient.

"Why doesn't the prince allow us to accompany him every time he meets Chang Pingjun?"

As Xin listened, he couldn't help but close his eyes, "I originally thought I was too reckless when I was young, but now it seems that I was very effective as a errand boy when I was young."
-
Fusu said, "The prince and the tutor are just idle. The prince is here, and the tutor is here."

Xiong Qi was silent for a long time, "Prince, please come back."

"When I return from Shu, I hope my uncle can think about this matter clearly and give Fusu an answer."

Fusu stood up and said goodbye.

Xiong Qi just closed his eyes. Fusu was really hateful, no better than his father.

"I am getting older and my physical strength is not as good as before. I will be sent away today."

"My uncle is really stubborn, but Fusu is not willing to be angry with my uncle today. I always remember what I said to my uncle when I was a child. These words were said in the palace of the Queen Mother, not in the Persimmon Forest."

Fusu smiled. He knew that for a person like Xiong Qi, being crowned king would always be the biggest temptation.

Xiong Qi was really stunned.

He actually remembers?
At first I was tossing and turning over this matter.

Fu Sufu showed a gentle smile, "I will give this chess set to my uncle. I hope my uncle can understand it well."

Fusu was about to leave, but Xiong Qi suddenly raised his voice.

"It's difficult to go and see the guests off."

The entire Changping Mansion was shocked by this, because Xiong Qi had never made it difficult to see anyone off in so many years.

"Uncle, take care."

Fusu just left.

Xiong Qize sat in front of the chessboard. He looked at the Chu River and Qin realms with excitement in his chest.

"King Chu——"

In the middle of the night, when there was no one else in Changping Jun's room, Xiong Qi looked at the bright moon in the sky and let out a long sigh!
"O King of Chu!"
-
In this era where princes and kings are everywhere, everyone wants to worship the general and become a prince.

On a deeper level, it is to realize the so-called value of life.

But if you put it bluntly.

In this era, as long as you can become a prince or general, it means that you will become the master of a land.

But what Ying Zheng did was against the interests of the nobles.

The nobles were originally the sole masters of their own fiefdoms.

But Ying Zheng wanted to break this, so he couldn't tolerate Lord Changping.

But Ying Zheng is the only one in the world who thinks so. He is the only one who has the ability and the idea to make every inch of the world belong to him, and everyone in the world depends on his existence.

Except for Ying Zheng, no one else is willing to do this.

The common people have always lived in the shadow of the nobles, and they are extremely eager to gain military glory and become the master of a party.

Not to mention those nobles who used to be superior.The status of nobles gives them not only the fields and property, but also independence and freedom.

Fusu believed that Xiong Qi would definitely agree to do this.

Because the current Qin State implements the system of prefectures and counties everywhere, and has books written by Li Si and Han Fei, nobles like Xiong Qi from the twilight of the pre-Qin era have become enemies in Ying Zheng's mind.

And if he had a chance to be the King of Chu, he would definitely choose the latter.

This was the root of Xiong Qi's original rebellion. He was unwilling to be oppressed by Ying Zheng and tried to restore his past freedom and territorial independence as a noble.
-
Three or five days later, Fusu's chess gradually spread among the nobles.

At this time, Zhao and Han were destroyed, and Chu became the most powerful country bordering Qin.In this trend, this chess game in the Chu River and Qin realms was very popular among the nobles of the Qin State.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but take action.

"Tonggu, how do you think chess compares to Go?"

Li Si has been favored by Ying Zheng in recent years, because his political views cater to Ying Zheng's wishes, and he has increasingly become Ying Zheng's confidant.

In fact, Li Si's status in Ying Zheng's mind now surpasses that of Wang Wan, Wei Zhuang, and Wang Jian, who were the biggest celebrities in front of Ying Zheng in the past.

Just because Li Si can give Ying Zheng what he wants.

Now, Ying Zheng has called Li Si by name and is very friendly to him.

"Your Majesty, I only learned chess yesterday. I think chess is no better than Go."

"Oh. I asked many people, and they all said that the new gadget created by the prince is more interesting than Go, but you don't think so." Ying Zheng had a smile on his face.

Zhao Gao looked at Ying Zheng closely as if he were watching over his wife, fearing that the king would be too fond of Li Si and his status in the king's mind would be reduced.

Hearing Li Si's unusual and unconventional answer, Zhao Gao was filled with disgust.

After all, it's just a way to please the monarch, but you pretend to be so different, making you appear to be the most unique.

"Your Majesty. If a game of chess is a battle, then a game of Go is a war. A battle will mostly result in a victory or defeat, and occasionally there will be a draw; a war will generally not destroy the country, and the territory will determine the outcome."

"Go requires a person to make long-term plans, lay out slowly, and move the whole body with one move. But chess is different. It is like an assassination. The cost of winning or losing is too low. After all, it is not interesting enough. Although Go is easy to lose the whole game , but every piece in Go may not be unmovable as long as there is still breath. This is Li Si's view."

Ying Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Tingwei, you are indeed a great talent. Reward."

Li Si has always maintained a fearful attitude in front of Ying Zheng for ten years. This is another thing that Ying Zheng likes about Li Si.

Seeing the king and Li Si chatting so happily, Zhao Gao really wanted to get in on the conversation.However, he doesn't understand Go, let alone play this new game.

He spends all his time and energy working for Ying Zheng to deal with all kinds of unsightly incidents, so how can he find the time to learn these things.

Ying Zheng and Li Si were having fun.

"Your Majesty, the prince wishes to see you."

"What's the matter with him?" In front of everyone, Ying Zheng's face changed from a visible smile to a cold expression. "Send him in."

Fusu walked in wearing yellow dark clothes. He was the only one in the entire palace who wore yellow clothes. Instead of looking old and decrepit, he looked extremely noble.

"I pay my respects to your father. I didn't know that the imperial officer was here, disturbing my father's enjoyment."

"What's the matter with you?"

"I want to come and accompany my father."

Ying Zheng didn't hold back, the Go chess in his hand was all in the wrong position, but he forced a serious expression.

Zhao Gao, on the other hand, was looking forward to the prince coming today to share Li Si's favor in front of the king.

Most people in the world are greedy for power.Even though Zhao Gao was in charge of the palace, these people were all attached to him because he had the favor of the king.

Once one day they find that someone is more favored by the king than themselves, they will approach the other person.

Zhao Gao has been in the palace for a long time and is well versed in the ways of power.
