Bian Wushuang strode on the straight road leading to the palace, leaving behind a long straight footprint, and it has started to snow in the capital. Min Ruoying has been constantly cutting down on the cost and personnel in the palace this year. In the current Chu Palace, is there no longer enough people to clean the snow on the straight road?

But with the current situation of Chu State, what can these small methods change? It is nothing more than just passing on the outside world that an emperor is also spending his days.

The Chu State is now in chaos. The emperor was trying hard to save money, just to spend some extra money to invest in the arms. Today, in the palace, Min Ruoying's tea for entertaining himself was not the top tribute tea this year, but the downward chen tea. The best and most advanced things in the Chu State have been sold to the Ming State.

Thinking of the latest tribute tea this year that he drank when he went to see Qin Feng in Huzhu, Bian Wushuang couldn't help but shake his head.

The emperor was working hard, but his subordinates might not think so. Countless officials were trying to make more money for themselves. The foundation of Chu State was being dug wildly, and the building was now full of holes and the wind and snow were fluttering.

Shortly after he arrived in Shangjing, Changlong's big boss in Chu came to visit him. The account book he brought with him made him shocked. The finances of Chu were fading, while a considerable number of officials in Chu State's State were increasing at an astonishing rate.

Bian Wushuang naturally knew why this shopkeeper, who seemed harmless, showed him what this thing. So someone asked him to remind him to understand more about the current situation of Chu State and to understand that Chu State had no power to turn the world back.

The following reminders were many, which also made Bian Wushuang's shock reach the extreme. The Ming Dynasty's infiltration into all aspects of Chu had reached this level. Even Qin, a country that was about to perish, was probably not so exaggerated, right?

A recent reminder is about the land annexation of Chu. I don’t know how these intelligence personnel from the Ming Kingdom got these things, but Bian Wushuang did not doubt the authenticity of these things.

A large amount of land was concentrated in the hands of a very small number of people, and a considerable part of the land and population disappeared from the Chu State's account book and became hidden fields and hidden households. Of course, what followed was the loss of taxes.

This kind of desperate concentration of land can sometimes stabilize the situation. The hidden land no longer has to pay taxes to the court but only needs to pay part of the home. This reduces their burden to a certain extent and allows them to survive. But more people are doing everything they can in annex the land, which leads to the destruction of more families and no way out.

And this is the origin of a large number of rebellions.

When a person has no longer even the most basic conditions for survival, he will also be a knife to stretch his head and a knife to shrink his head. Then he will naturally have to pull out the knife to rebel.

The Ming Dynasty's infiltration into Chu State was all-round, without blind spots, and was omnipresent in politics, military and economic terms. Unfortunately, the Chu State had not really noticed this problem, or they had noticed it, but they could do nothing.

Bian Wushuang suddenly stopped and in front of the straight road, a man in a cloak stood quietly, just blocking his way out of the palace.

He looked up, stared at the blocker opposite, and sighed softly.

That was the eldest princess of Qin. She married into Chu seven years ago and is now Min Ruoying's imperial concubine.

He walked over, stood in front of the other party, clasped his fists and bowed as a courtesy: "I have seen the Imperial Concubine!"

He no longer calls the other party the eldest princess, so he naturally no longer thinks of himself as Qin minister.

"Bian Wushuang, are you worthy of my father? Are you worthy of the Qin Dynasty?" The imperial concubine's voice was a little sharp, gritted her teeth, and was also a little excited to cry.

Qin was in danger, so Bian Wushuang led 300,000 soldiers and civilians to attack Qin, stabbed Ma Yue in the back, and slashed hard on this country that was about to fall. If Qin had the last breath before, Qin would be left after Bian Wushuang left, Qin would be so angry.

If Bian Wushuang fails to leave, the Ming Dynasty must be on guard against him leading his army to aid. Bian Wushuang himself makes good use of the army, and his 50,000 soldiers under his command are even more capable of fighting. If he is willing to help, he will certainly restrain a considerable number of Ming people and continue this breath of anger that is about to be cut off for the Qin Dynasty.

But Bian Wushuang chose another way. His choice accelerated the demise of Qin. Now, only Yongdu can be held on to the Qin State.

There has never been a city in this world that cannot be broken. Even if it cannot be broken, it is enough to trap you to death.

The imperial concubine's questioning did not make Bian Wushuang feel any shame. He stood up straight and looked at the imperial concubine seriously, "The imperial concubine, Bian asked himself, I am worthy."

"Okay, it's such a good person. A person like you will eventually be despised by the world. Do you think the people of Chu will look down on someone like you who betray the Lord and seek honor?" The imperial concubine laughed in anger.

"I don't care whether they can respect me or not." Bian Wushuang said coldly: "The Good Pope Concubine learned that it was not that I gave up on the emperor, but that the emperor gave up on me. After the Hulao Incident, if he did not kill Deng Hong, there would be a turning point, but he brazenly killed Deng Hong's whole family, and forced the Qingzhou army to rebel. When the army was assembled, I sent him another 50,000 troops. If he was willing to recruit me back to Beijing and defend the country as the commander. Although he dared not say that he would repel the Ming army, he would not be defeated so simply. I was waiting for the emperor's call in Qinghe County, but the one who came was the imperial commander in person and then defeated in a mess."

He looked at the pale face of the woman opposite him with a sarcastic grief: "If the emperor wants to perish himself, who can help him? Deng's family has been destroyed. Will I, Bian, still tied to them and then extinction the whole family? Instead of waiting for me here to ask me, the imperial concubine might as well return to her palace and raise her children well. After all, that is also the bloodline of Ma."

Leaving this sentence, Bian Wushuang bypassed the imperial concubine and left with great strides. Behind her, the woman's uncontrollable crying sound came. Bian Wushuang's words undoubtedly explained to her that Yong Du must not be defended and that the Ma family will inevitably perish. She is in the deep palace and the news is not working. Today, she is just the last confirmation to Bian Wushuang.

Not to mention that she is just a reliable imperial concubine of Chu State, what can she do even if she is the empress? She can only watch the Qin State eventually perish. If the ancestral temple does not exist, her roots will naturally disappear.

The heavy palace gate was open in front of Bian Wushuang, and a strong wind mixed with snowflakes came to him from the cave in the city gate. He walked out with a gloomy face and strode out. Outside, the guards who followed him were preparing a carriage and waiting for his arrival.

After sitting in the warm carriage, Bian Wushuang's tightly clenched fist slowly loosened, and a trace of blood oozed out of his palm, which was pinched out by his fingernails.

If it is impossible, who would have been willing to get to this point? I just chose to preserve the family before my family and the country, and died with the country. I might leave a good reputation in history, but the Bian family, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years, will never exist. Then what will I have to see my ancestors after my death?

The existence of the Bian clan is much longer than that of the Qin state. When the Cao clan usurped the rebellion, the Bian clan joined forces to establish himself in the west. It can be said that without the Bian clan, there would be no Qin state of the Ma clan. As for the Deng clan, it was just a rising star built later in order to suppress the Bian clan's power.

The Ma family was prospered because of the Bian family, and the Bian family was destroyed. The world was circulating, and all of them were like this.

When Bian entered Chu, after entering Shangjing City, Min Ruoying kept greetings from Beijing, and even gave him a luxurious mansion on Yinhu Street, which is rich and wealthy in the capital. This mansion covering an area of ​​thousands of acres is one of the best mansions even on Yinhu Street. The exquisite layout and ingenious design are much more exquisite than the mansion he had in Yongdu.

The Qin people are simple and elegant, while the Chu people are exquisite and delicate, which is the biggest difference between these two houses.

"Father, is this trip not going well?" Looking at Bian Wushuang with a gloomy face, Bian Wenzhong asked with some anxiety.

Bian Wushuang shook his head: "When he left the palace, the eldest princess blocked the road and asked questions!"

Bian Wenzhong's face changed slightly. If there is anyone else they are the one they least want to meet in Chu State, then it is His Highness the eldest princess. Bian Wenzhong and the eldest princess are about the same age as each other, and they are also playmates who have been together since childhood and are extremely familiar with each other. However, the eldest princess later married away from Chu State and then broke off contact.

"We need to blame the situation of Qin State. What can we do if we do this?" Bian Wenzhong whispered. "Maybe all we can do is to try our best to save her life in the future."

"Okay, you don't have to take such a thing to heart." Bian Wushuang waved his hand, "My suggestions have been adopted by the emperor. I will be appointed as the deputy commander of the eastern border army of Chu, and will preside over the counterattack of the six eastern counties. I will set off for Jinghu soon. And you will be appointed as the ambassador to quell the rebellion, lead 20,000 soldiers, and destroy the rebellion that is now flooding in Chu."

Bian Wenzhong took a deep breath: "Father, what level do I need to do?"

Bian Wushuang reached out and pulled over a map, and pinched several nail marks deep on the map, "The rebels naturally wanted to quell the destruction. These people only destroyed and did not produce them. They were all pests there, destroying the mobs in it, and forcing their elites to these county governments bit by bit."

Bian Wenzhong looked at the areas pointed out by his father, and they all grabbed the important roads outside the capital. He was already surprised in his heart, "Have these so-called elites been penetrated by Mingren?"
