A few days later, Chunshenjun's mansion.

Huang Xie was sitting in the study and was not in a good mood.

In the past year, although Huang Xie once again gained a foothold because he led the attack on Handan, he was also under pressure because of the Chu State's defeat against Qin State on the Western Front.

In general, the situation of the Chu State ruler has not improved much compared to a year ago.

As the top major family in Chu State, Zhao, Jing and Qu families have never relaxed at all about Huang Xie's hind legs. They can be said to have tried their best to pull Huang Xie off the position of the emperor.

Perhaps it is precisely because of exhaustion that Huang Xie’s head is basically white, and there are no few black hairs seen.

Huang Xie sat in the study and sighed to Director Li, who was both a confidant and a close friend in front of him: "I wish I could slaughter all the people from the Zhaojing Qu family!"

Li Yuan was startled by Huang Xie's words and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, be careful of your words."

Huang Xie sneered and said, "Now the Zhaojing Qu family wants me to die on the streets immediately. Everyone in the country knows this. Since that's the case, why should I hide it?"

Li Yuan shook his head and advised with great sincerity: "Your Majesty, the Zhaojing Qu family has been in the middle school for hundreds of years. Even if you are a talented person, you have only been appointed as the chief minister for a few years. How can you fight against him? Moreover, from the perspective of a minister, the king does not have to fight against the people of these three families at all."

Huang Xie was stunned for a moment and said, "Why?"

Li Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you forgotten that whether you can defeat the Lord is not something that the three families of Zhaojing and Qu are able to decide. The real decision-maker is our king of Chu now!"

Huang Xie snorted in a slutty voice and said, "Of course I know that the king is the most critical person, but the problem is that the king has been slandered by those three families and has long been alienated from me."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's true at a rough look, but the king actually has a chance to turn the tables, right? If the king only needs to make contributions to the State of Chu, the king will naturally reverse his impression of the king and throw the slander of the three families of Zhao, Jing, Qu, aside."

After a pause, Li Yuan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "And have you forgotten that there is still Mrs. Li in the palace who can speak well for you."

Mrs. Li, the most beloved wife of King Yuan of Chu, gave birth to Lin'er for King Yuan of Chu, and was second only to the queen in the current Chu harem.

For some reason, after Huang Xie heard Mrs. Li's name, the expression on his face suddenly became very strange.

After a long time, Huang Xie said: "Mrs. Li said good words to me in front of the king. I naturally knew about it, but that..."

Li Yuan hurriedly made a gesture of silence and said softly: "Your Majesty, you must be careful of the partition walls!"

It's strange. Huang Xie, who was not afraid of the people from Zhaojing and Qu families eavesdropping just now, closed his mouth very obediently this time, and after a while, he said: "So what strategy do you have to reverse?"

Li Yuan thought for a while, and a hesitant look appeared on his face, and he wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Huang Xie immediately urged: "Speak quickly."

Li Yuan let out a light breath, as if he had made up some determination, and said to Huang Xie softly: "Your Majesty, in fact, the reason why the ministers came here today is that they have something to report to you."

Huang Xie said: "What's the matter?"

Li Yuan lowered his voice again and said softly: "Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, there was a man named Lu Buwei, who claimed that he was the domestic history of Qin. He secretly came to visit our country as an envoy of the King of Qin."

"What?" Huang Xie widened his eyes in surprise, and suddenly looked at Li Yuan with some suspicion, saying, "Why did the Qin envoy come to you? Could it be that Ru and the Qin people colluded?"

At this moment, a murderous intent flashed through Huang Xie's eyes.

Li Yuan saw this murderous intent, and felt a sense of sternness in his heart, and immediately called out: "The Lord has misunderstood. The reason why this Qin envoy came to the minister was because he hoped to see him through the minister."

Huang Xie's face then relaxed a little, and said, "Is this Qin envoy coming, is it because he wants to form an alliance with the Great Chu?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

Huang Xie sneered: "This King of Qin is too whimsical! Is there a possibility of an alliance between Qin and Chu?"

Li Yuan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Qin envoy said that as long as the Great Chu is willing to form an alliance with the Qin State, then the Qin State is willing to return all the territory south of Wuguan to the Great Chu!"

As soon as this sentence was said, Huang Xie's face immediately moved slightly, but he immediately shook his head and said, "This Qin people have never believed in words... How could they know that it was not an excuse to deceive the Great Chu?"

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, I actually think... the words of the Qin envoy are very likely to be true."

"Oh?" Huang Xie raised his eyebrows and said, "Why is this?"

Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, why did Qin dare to deceive Da Chu in the past? It was simply that Qin was already strong enough and he was fearless even if he fought with Da Chu. But now that Qin is in decline, if he dares to deceive Da Chu, then Da Chu only needs to unite Zhao and Han attack Qin, and Qin will definitely be defeated. How dare Qin deceive Da Chu in this way?"

Huang Xie touched his beard, thought for a while, then nodded slowly: "This is the same. But you also know that if I propose to join the Qin State, the Zhaojing and Qu families will be the first to jump out and oppose me. What should I do? And even if there are no Zhaojing and Qu families, there will definitely be many people in the Great Chu who oppose the Qin and Chu alliance."

Li Yuan suppressed his temper and advised: "Your Majesty, why not think about it. Even if there is no such thing, will the Zhaojing Qusan family not oppose you? What the Lord Majesty needs to worry about now is not the opposition of the Zhaojing Qusan family, but to make some achievements as soon as possible to get the recognition of the king!"

Huang Xie was still a little hesitant: "Even if you want to make achievements, you may not have to go against Zhao State? It should be noted that Zhao State is an ally of the Great Chu State, and now Zhao State's military strength is strong, and no one in the world can take charge."

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. I dare to ask the king, if he does not attack Zhao, how can he make achievements? Han and Wei are now allies of Zhao. Qin has Wu'an Jun Bai Qi in charge, and Qi has defeated the king. For the current plan, the king can only have a glimmer of chance in Qin's attack on Zhao. Otherwise, he can only wait for the Zhaojing and Qu families to press forward step by step, and eventually kill the king!"

Li Yuan's remarks were extremely earnest and reasonable, and finally moved Huang Xie.
