Chapter 912: The Beginnings
Yingdu.?
At this time, Xiong Huai looked at the information sent by Chen Zhen, looked at the unfamiliar name on the information, and frowned: "Chen Qing, who is this Qi State Wuyuan Doctor Zhou, why is the widow very unfamiliar with this person." ”
Chen Zhen had already prepared, and as soon as the King of Chu's voice fell, he immediately responded: "Back to the king, this week is the prince of Zhou, after the dissolution of the alliance between my Chu State and the Five Kingdoms a few years ago, Zhou Zhou was worried that he would be retaliated against by other countries because of sending troops to help Chu, so he sent Zhou to serve the King of Qi in order to seek the protection of Qi State.
Subsequently, Zhou Shi entered Qi and has been serving by the side of King Qi Xuan, and he is very loved by King Qi Xuan, and Zhou has a very good relationship with King Qi, so when King Qi appointed Dr. Wuyuan this time, he directly appointed Zhou Shi. ”
Xiong Huai listened to Chen Zhen's statement and bowed slightly, so it seems that this week is the most close minister of Qi Wangdi.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai looked at the second half of the intelligence again.
After the appointment of Zhou by the king of Qi, there was great turmoil in Linzi immediately.
Originally, Xiong Huai just bribed some gentlemen and students from the Jixia School Palace, and asked them to spread the news that King Qi was dissatisfied with the Jixia School Palace.
No, this rumor was just stirred up, but it suddenly broke out in the direction of King Qi and the Qi clan, which Xiong Huai did not expect.
Judging from the news coming from the Qi State now, the news that the King of Qi and the Tian clan were not in harmony, and the rumors that he planned to suppress the clan spread in the Qi country at a very fast speed, so fast that everyone was caught off guard, so fast that even the people of the Qi country did not react, and the people of the entire Qi country knew about it.
Seeing this, Xiong Huai asked curiously, "Does Chen Qing know who is spreading these rumors in Qi State?" ”
Chen Zhen was stunned, and then shook his head: "King, the minister doesn't know about this matter. However, according to the rumors of Qi State, it was either Qi Xiang Tian Wen or General Tian Jia who leaked the news that King Qi was dissatisfied with Zou Zi and caused Zou Zi to flee. And the next rumor that King Qi was dissatisfied with the Tian clan was said to be the person of Qi Xiang Jizi. ”
Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at Chen Zhen with a smile and asked, "Chen Qing, do you believe it yourself?" ”
Chen Zhen responded with a smile: "King, it doesn't matter whether the ministers believe it or not, the important thing is whether the King of Qi believes it or not." ”
Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this: "Yes, the important thing is whether Qi Wangdi believes it or not." ”
As he spoke, the smile on Xiong Huai's face disappeared, and then he said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter to the widow whether the King of Qi believes it or not, what the widow cares about is whether the King of Qi is really dissatisfied with the Tian clan!" ”
Chen Zhen's face was shocked, and then he hesitated: "The king is talking about the Tian family."
"Yes, there must be a source. The rumor that the King of Qi was dissatisfied with the Tian clan could spread so quickly throughout the entire Qi country, and there must be a huge force pushing it, and this force could not be outside the Qi country, even if it was my Chu country, it could not cause such a big movement in such a short period of time.
Besides, the rumors stop at the wise, especially when the Qi Wangdi won a major victory over the Yan State at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. At this time, even if there are some people in the Tian clan who are dissatisfied with King Qi, they will not make such a fuss.
Therefore, the widow doubted that there was really a problem between the King of Qi and the Tian family on the side of the Qi State. ”
Chen Zhen nodded with a heavy face: "Please rest assured, the minister will let the spies on the Qi side investigate." ”
"Okay, there's Lao Xianqing."
Then, Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then arched his hand: "King, this time King Qi used Zhou Shi as a doctor in Wuyuan, and the minister is worried that King Qi is plotting against South Korea." As we all know, Fortnight has always been in South Korea's sphere of influence, and Fortnight is also attached to South Korea.
Now that Qi has appointed the prince of Zhou as an important minister, he is obviously supporting Zhou Zhou. If Wei comes forward to win over Wei for two weeks, it is very likely that two weeks will fall to Wei, so that Korea will be weakened, and the minister is worried"
After thinking about it, Xiong Huai said with a smile: "It's okay, the widow believes in the uncle, just by virtue of the relationship between the uncle and the Chu State, as long as the uncle is still serving as the minister of South Korea, then South Korea will not betray the widow."
As for two weeks? If Wei really competed with Korea for two weeks and fought hard, then the widow would only be more happy, and Han and Wei would consume each other, which would be beneficial and harmless to our Chu State.
Moreover, as long as the three Jin are not closely united, but fight separately, then the three Jin who contain each other will not have much of a threat. ”
Chen Zhen nodded when he heard this.
Half a month later.
Chen Zhen said with a heavy face: "Great King, the news from the Qi State, our spies already know why the Qi State made such a big disturbance before, so that rumors are everywhere and it is difficult to control. ”
Xiong Huai's face was straight: "What is the reason?" ”
"King, the spies have come to report, not long ago, King Qi was not just a doctor of Zhou Zhiwuyuan. More importantly, the Qi State obtained more than a dozen counties in the land of 350 li from Yan and Zhao, and none of the county doctors were from the Tian family.
The doctors from all over the place, most of them are people from the Xuegong faction headed by Ji Zi, and the remaining half are close people from the Qi Wangdi. ”
Xiong Huai was shocked, and hurriedly reconfirmed: "Really? Is this true? Are there any errors or omissions? ”
Chen Zhen nodded seriously: "The minister has confirmed it several times, and there is no falsehood." It was the promotion of Qi Xiang Jizi's group, coupled with the fact that Qi Wangdi forcibly decided this matter despite Tian Wen's opposition, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Tian family. Therefore, as soon as that kind of rumor appeared in Qi Guo before, people from the Tian family from all over the country added fuel to the fire, so that there would be such a big storm in a short period of time.
Later, the king of Qi saw that the turmoil was too big, so he had to ask Kuang Zhang Tianwen to come forward to appease the Tian family and comfort him with kind words, which made the turmoil in Qi stop a little. ”
"Stop for a while, that is, the rumors have not completely subsided!" Xiong Huai's face became a little heavy and said: "What does King Qi mean by this, if you say that Zhou Zhiwuyuan was appointed before, the widow already feels that there is something wrong with King Qi, but now those county doctors do not have people from the Tian family, which is extremely abnormal."
The Tian clan was founded in the Qi State for less than a hundred years, and successive Qi kings pursued the strategy of reusing the Tian clan to stabilize the Qi state.
Now that the King of Qi is doing this, does he feel that the Tian clan's rule in the Qi country has been stabilized, and now the Tian clan's strength is a bit big, so the king of Qi wants to weaken the Tian clan? ”
King Qi suppressed the Tian clan, which did not start from the land of King Qi.
This kind of repression has existed since the founding of the Tian family.
King Qi Wei suppressed Tian Ji Tian Pan, King Qi Xuan suppressed Tian Ying, and the previous two Qi kings also did this. However, while suppressing it, King Qi Wei also reused Tian Ying, and King Qi Xuan not only reused Kuang Zhang Tian Pan, but also took Tian Ji, who fled to Chu State, back to show that he was close to the clan.
And Qi Wangdi's attitude is a little unusual.
Although he reused Tian Wen, there was also a Prime Minister Zuo on the side to contain him. Although Kuang Zhang is still the head of the generals of Qi State, the main general who led the army to attack Yan State before is indeed Shengzi, and although Kuang Zhang took in Qinghe, he also let Chu State win a small victory in Jimo for a while, so that his reputation was somewhat damaged.
Coupled with the matter in the north this time, Qi Wangdi did not show any intention of being close to the Tian clan.
In this way, there must be a problem between King Qi and the Tian clan.
If it continues like this for a long time, the Tian clan will have no successor, and when Kuang Zhang dies of old age and Tian Wen steps down, then the Tian clan's influence on the Qi dynasty will be minimal.
At this moment, Xiong Huai seems to have seen that in the near future, there will be a great turmoil in the Qi country.
This is the same situation that the state of Chu is facing now, a serious civil strife.
However, Xiong Huai has been preparing for more than ten years, has been in power for nearly thirty years, and has the great martial arts of cutting down Qin and destroying Qi and destroying Yue, so he can barely control the situation.
And can he control the situation in Qi Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai smiled, if Qi was like this, he would not give Qi Wangdi such a chance.
Thinking about it, Xiong Huai said with a heavy face: "Chen Qing, the spies who know Beiya will begin to pay full attention to the Qi State, in addition to the movements of the King of Qi, they must also pay attention to the movements of important ministers of Kuang Zhang, Tian Wen, Tian Jia and other clans, and even other Tian clan relatives.
The widow must know what attitude Qi Wangdi has towards the Tian clan. ”
"Please rest assured, the minister will arrange it!"
