Chapter 534: King of Chu, you are seeking your own death!
Chen Cheng.
At noon on that day, King Yuan of Chu, who had just finished a court discussion, learned about it.
"King, the envoy of Zhao State asked for a visit!"
"Envoy from Zhao?" King Yuan of Chu jumped slightly in his heart, and he couldn't help but say to Huang Xie in front of him: "Mr. Chunshen, do you know what the envoy from Zhao came?"
It was under Huang Xie's strong advocacy that the old enemy of Chu and Qin, who had been for hundreds of years, chose to turn war into jade and secretly concluded an alliance to fight against Zhao, which was completely comparable to that of Jin.
It was precisely because Huang Xie vigorously helped this matter that Chunshen Jun, who was already a little shaky in the position of Yin, once again gained the trust of King Yuan of Chu, and once again gained the trust of Chu State's political arena, and gained the ability to compete with the three major families of Zhao, Jingqu.
To be honest, when King Yuan of Chu heard the visit of the envoy of Zhao, he was actually a little guilty.
Although lying and conspiring were everywhere at this time, all contract spirits were basically thrown into the trash can by the monarchs, no matter what, when facing the true master of Zhao, the king, there must be a sense of guilt brought about by not keeping his promises.
Huang Xie did not seem to see the strangeness of King Yuan of Chu, or perhaps he could see it but he didn't want to say it out. In short, Chunshen Jun finally gave an answer that was not certain: "Why did the envoy Zhao come from, I really don't know. But I guess that the envoy Zhao's arrival this time should be a joint king to attack Qin, Qi and Wei."
After hearing Huang Xie's words, the expression on his face seemed to be relaxed and he spoke: "Since that's the case, then I'll send the envoy Zhao to the palace."
A moment later, Zheng Zhu, a great disciple of Zhao State, appeared in front of King Yuan of Chu.
"Foreign minister Zheng Zhu, I have met the king!"
As a professional diplomat, Zheng Zhu's every move is not rude, but also gives people a sense of grace.
King Yuan of Chu showed a smile on his face: "Please sit down, I wonder what the envoy is coming this time. Could it be that King Zhao plans to conquer Qin with me?"
Zheng Zhu laughed and said to King Yuan of Chu: "No, the foreign minister came this time because he hoped to persuade the king to return to the loss."
Although Zheng Zhu had a smile on his face when he said this, there was no smile in his eyes at all.
King Yuan of Chu suddenly jumped in his heart and said with a forced smile: "What the messenger said is, but I don't know."
"I don't know?" Zheng Zhu's smile gradually showed a bit of sarcastic expression: "My king ordered the foreign minister to tell me a sentence if the king wants others to know, unless he doesn't do it himself! Since the king can secretly become an ally with Qin, why should he pretend to be unaware of it in front of the minister?"
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, who was standing beside him, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Zheng Zhu! Are you crazy about gaining and losing your heart? He actually slandered me like Chu and destroyed the alliance between Chu and Zhao! Could it be that the command of King Zhao is all under you, such ignorant and slanderous ministers?"
Zheng Zhu's sarcastic expression on his face became even stronger: "Chunshenjun, you are still quibbling until now. Do you really think that this matter is perfect and can you hide it from me, Zhao State before the war begins?"
Huang Xie was furious and slapped the table with a "bang" and shouted: "Zheng Zhu! There is an irreconcilable hatred between our Great Chu and Qin. How could we all join forces with the Qin State? It's a joke!"
"Just." Zheng Zhu nodded vigorously and sighed: "Indeed, when my king knew this information, my king also thought it was just a joke. But Chunshenjun, how about Chunshenjun? You touched your chest and asked yourself if this was a joke!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Zhu was stern and even forced Huang Xie's voice to suppress.
King Yuan of Chu was shocked when he watched the quarrel between Zheng Zhu and Huang Xie.
It has reached this point, and King Yuan of Chu can also see that the people of Zhao have indeed fully grasped the information of the secret alliance between Qin and Chu.
But the question is how did the people of Zhao know this information?
You should know that in the Chu State, those who knew the secret of Qin and Chu alliance, including King Yuan and Huang Xie, were only a handful of people. How did this news leak out and be known to the people of Zhao State?
King Yuan of Chu was really a little confused.
But now it is obviously not the time to understand whether it is to think about it or not. After refuting Huang Xie to the point of being speechless, Zheng Zhu turned to look at King Yuan of Chu.
"The great king learned that the reason why my king ordered his ministers to come today was to make the king return to the right path of the Chu-Zhao alliance, and to attack Qin, Qi and Wei with Zhao. In this way, Zhao and Chu could stand together in the world, just like Jin and Chu that year, becoming the two tyrants of the north and south. If not..."
Zheng Zhu sneered a few times and said to King Yuan of Chu: "If not, then the Zhao army will soon lead troops to Chen Ying! Where can we go, please choose it yourself."
Zheng Zhu's words contained a very stern and straightforward threat, which made the king and ministers, Yuan of Chu and Huang Xie, look at each other in a glance, and a cold air slowly emerged in his heart.
Neither of these two people are fools. Of course they understand what Zheng Zhu said means. This does not represent Zheng Zhu's personal attitude, but represents the will of Zhao Wangdan, the young king who stood behind Zheng Zhu and led the most powerful overlord country of this era.
Disobedient? Beat you to death!
King Yuan of Chu took a deep breath and felt a sense of silence in his heart.
What should I do?
To be honest, King Yuan of Chu was not prepared to fight against Zhao State directly.
According to the prior plan, Qin should be the first to attack Hedong, and then Zhao's main army will go to rescue. At this time, Chu will find a way to unite Qi or Wei, and take advantage of the empty eastern part of Zhao to surround Handan again.
In this case, Zhao State would not be able to take care of each other from the beginning and end, and would be completely passive on the entire battlefield, which would give Qin and Chu a great chance to find a good opportunity to defeat Zhao State in one fell swoop.
However, before both Qin and Chu had begun to mobilize their troops, the envoy of Zhao had already appeared in front of King Yuan of Chu, and in such a sure to break the alliance between King Yuan of Chu and Qin, completely disrupting King Yuan of Chu.
Therefore, King Yuan of Chu was a little speechless for a moment. After twitching his cheeks for a while, he said with a smile: "Emunique, this must be a misunderstanding. Someone must have passed on false information to King Zhao. Chu and Zhao are allies that are ally with blood. How can I betray Zhao? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
Zheng Zhu laughed without being angry when he heard this, and looked at King Yuan of Chu for a while, then said, "It seems that the king will never give up the alliance with Qin? Since that's the case, then the foreign ministers will say goodbye! I hope that when Chen City is destroyed in the future, the king will not regret today's decision."
After saying this, Zheng Zhu stood up from his seat without stopping, and left without raising his head.
King Yuan of Chu looked at Zheng Zhu's departure in amazement. After a while, he looked at Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, who was also surprised, and a very strong sense of uneasiness suddenly surged in his heart.
