My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 238 A piece of cake has not expired after ten years

Although the Chu people's plan failed, they stayed in Xianyang Posthouse.

Xiong Qi, who was dismissed as prime minister and later became a Taifu, is now at home warming wine all day long to soothe his sorrows.

He is waiting for the right opportunity.

On a sunny afternoon, Xiong Qi was resting in a private garden.

There are several small ponds in the garden, and the edges of the ponds are covered with weeds. Xiong Qi just guards this small pond.

"Master, there is a visitor outside the door."

"Guests? I haven't seen visitors for almost half a year. Invite them in." Xiong Qi didn't invite people in because he was hospitable. It was really boring to have nothing to do.

Sometimes, it's nice to have one more thing to do.

After these guests entered the door, they stayed there all afternoon.

Xiong Qi left them to eat while he sat in the back hall, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"I finally lived in peace for a few days. The prince made a promise to me, and I will definitely fulfill the promise of becoming Tang Dynasty in the future. Now it's good, the people of Chu came to me, and they want to unite with themselves to rebel. This time, Isn’t it just to besiege Prince Fusu?”

"Fusu, that bastard, led a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to garrison under the nose of Chu State, just like hanging mutton on the city wall, lest there be no one in the world who wants to take his life."

Xiong Qi stayed indoors alone. He didn't dare to tell anyone such a thing.

"Wang has always been suspicious. Once this kind of thing spreads, he will definitely hate himself even more. But if he doesn't tell..."

Xiong Qi was now unsure.

On the one hand, the prince of Qin, who was about to annex the world, promised him that he would fief the state of Chu in the future. On the other hand, the king of Chu, who was in danger of annexation, invited himself to be the prime minister of Chu.

Xiong Qi did not agree immediately.

The Xiang clan of Chu State followed Xiang Yan's instructions and saw that Xiong Qi did not immediately agree to the matter, knowing that revenge on King Qin was not the first priority in his mind.

These people were very smart. After returning to the post house that day, several important people who went to see Lord Changping secretly climbed out of the city wall at night and fled as fast as they could.

Xiong Qi was hesitant. After much thought, he realized that with the power of Chu, even if it could resist Qin, it would still be annexed after three to five years.

Now the prince has made a plan to destroy Chu within two years. Even if he attacks from behind and helps the Chu people capture Fusu, what's the use?

Besides, this kid Fusu is not as simple as Chu Ren thought.

Fusu has always known how to hide himself. He is not a pushy person.If there is any action, it must be to plan something big.

Look at the slogan of annihilating Chu within two years now. After getting along with Fusu for a long time, no matter how I look at it, it looks like a strategy.

However, by the time Xiong Qi came to his senses, he had taken too long to make a decision and things were getting out of hand.

He finally realized that because of his wavering, he was unable to refuse the matter on the spot. If he reported the matter to King Qin later, he might have other thoughts.

But after being repeatedly embarrassed, he went to Ying Zheng to confess.

Because he is no longer a prince.

As a little Tai Tu, he now only has the convenience of entering and exiting the Tai Tu's palace; even if he agreed to unite with the Chu State, he did not have the power and title to mobilize troops.

This is the state of Qin. Without the tiger talisman and the festival, he can't do anything.

And as a Taifu, if he proposed to go to other places, he would attract the attention of many people in the court.If he makes the slightest move, everyone will notice.

Although Ying Zheng is very greedy and wants to take the world for himself, he is not as far-sighted as Fusu and is willing to make himself king, but the king is much simpler than Fusu.

And the king has always been broad-minded.

Maybe this is a good opportunity to bridge the gap with the King of Qin in the past and make things easier in the future.There are more than a dozen copper furnaces in Zhangtai Hall, and the earth dragons are also burning.

Ying Zheng was wearing single clothes and handling government affairs.

The maids and servants wearing coats around them were all sweating from the heat.

Xiong Qi humbly told Ying Zheng the truth.

Ying Zheng was stunned.

"The King of Chu wants to form an alliance with Uncle Wang and attack Fusu from both front and rear."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty of the death penalty. I was so scared at the time, worried that these people would bring death to me, that I didn't keep them on the spot. Even now, I am still covered in cold sweat."

Ying Zheng looked at Xiong Qi's fearful look and was filled with doubts.

In the past, when Xiong Qi was the prime minister, he was always calm and calm when facing others. Although he often acted out the drama of superiority and inferiority in front of ministers, he never reached this level.

Did he really repent, or was he planning something big again?

Thinking that he was not even a king now, Ying Zheng knew that even if he had great ability, he would not be able to make a splash, so he naturally said that he would not care anymore.

Looking at this uncle who was kind to him in the past, Ying Zheng felt very emotional.

"The prince went on an expedition, and Uncle Wang stayed alone in Xianyang City. I wonder what he is doing in the mansion now?"

"Play chess. Your Majesty knows that I don't like things like Yi messing with my descendants."

Xiong Qi left, and the next day he received a jade-engraved chess set given to him by Ying Zheng.

Looking at the chessboard, Xiong Qi also thought about it for a long time.

His hand slowly stroked the chessboard carved out of jade, touching the raised border of the Chu River and Qin boundary, and his hand stopped on the commander-in-chief of Chu State.

"When I become the emperor in the future, I will make my uncle King of Chu!"

When Fusu said these words, Xiong Qi's fate changed.

Xiong Qi did not hand over the token given to him by the King of Chu. He held the sword and said to himself, "I want to be the King of Chu, so being a mere prime minister is nothing. Although the land of Chu is vast, its numbers and strength are not as good as the three counties of the Qin State combined. "

This matter quickly spread to both the government and the public.

Naturally, the people of Qin angrily accused the King of Chu of carrying the cud and coming up with such a bad move.

Ying Zheng was very happy, "The King of Chu is so impatient that he came up with this method of colluding with our Qin ministers. It can be seen that the prince's strategy really threatens them."

Originally, Ying Zheng did not have much confidence in Fusu, but now Ying Zheng feels that the advantage lies entirely on Fusu's side.

"The King of Chu's actions have betrayed their situation. They are now at their wits' end. They are afraid that the soldiers and horses of the few will trample their capital."

The ministers naturally complimented Fusu's plan.

At the mention of Fusu, Ying Zheng's face lit up and he was very happy, "By the way, what has the prince accomplished so far since he arrived in Xinzheng?"
-
in real history.

In the tenth year of King Chu You's reign, King Chu You died and King Chu Ai came to the throne.King Chu Ai reigned for more than two months. Fu Chu's party members attacked and killed King Chu Ai, and made Fu Chu the king. In history, he was known as Chu King Fu Chu.

In the second year of Chu's reign, the Qin army attacked Chu, defeated the Chu army and occupied more than ten cities.He proposed to Qin that he offer the land west of Qingyang (now Changsha, Hunan) to seek peace.Qin still sent Li Xin to lead an army of 20 to attack Chu's Pingyu (now north of Pingyu, Henan), Di (now Linquan, Anhui), and Chenying (now Huaiyang, Henan).The Chu army took advantage of the Qin army's unpreparedness, launched a counterattack, defeated the Qin army, killed seven captains of the Qin army, and recovered the lost territory.

In the fourth year of Chu's reign (224 BC), because he was unwilling to offer the land west of Qingyang, he sent Chu troops to attack Qin Zhinan County (now west of Wuhan, Hubei and east of Wushan, Sichuan) where the original capital of Chu Ying was located. In present-day Yingcheng, northeast of Jiangling, Hubei Province, and later moved to Jiangling).

In the same year, King Qin Yingzheng sent Wang Jian with 60 troops to attack Chu.He dispatched the main force to resist Qin; General Xiang Yan committed suicide after being defeated by the Qin army.

In the fifth year of King Fu Chu of Chu (223 BC), the Qin generals Wang Jian and Meng Wu led their troops to attack Shouchun, the capital of Chu (today's Shouxian County, Anhui Province), and captured King Fu Chu of Chu. The Qin State established the Chu region as Changsha County. .His brother Changping Jun continued to resist in the land of Wuyue and was defeated the next year.
