Chapter 17 Three Surnames in Chu

"Do you know this jade pendant?" Zhao Wen said with surprise in his tone. He really didn't have any suitable items except this jade pendant when he was out.

Moreover, Lu Pheasant was definitely worthy of giving such a treasure, so he gave it away without hesitation.

Zhao Wen even thought that after Lu Pheasant became his woman, after explaining to her the preciousness of this treasure, Lu Pheasant would be moved to be devoted to him, but he did not expect that the woman in front of him would actually know him.

But now that the other party knows each other, it’s even better. He gently held Lu Pheasant’s hands, and Zhao Wen said with a smile: “From the moment I saw you, I knew that you are the woman who will spend my life with me, so I will

I give you this priceless treasure to let you know how much I care about you!"

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, and then at Zhao Wen in front of him, Lu Pheasant felt that his mind was already boiling.

The prince of the Great Qin Empire was still the most promising prince to ascend to the throne, but he was willing to give himself a national treasure that represented his identity as a betrothal gift. Which woman in the world could resist such a temptation.

At this moment, she only felt that she was willing to do anything for the man in front of her.

Looking at the firmness in Lu Zhi's eyes when he looked at him, Zhao Wen was completely sure that this woman would be his from now on.

He immediately stepped forward, picked up Lu Zhi and walked towards the bed.

Early on the next morning, Zhao Wen, who felt refreshed, took Lv Zhi out of the room. Liu Bang, Xiao He, Fan Kuai, Zhou Bo and Hei Yi were already waiting at the door.

These people came here last night. Fan Kuai brought Zhou Bo, while Lu Pheasant recommended Xiao He. The two scholars took sides.

"Set off!"

There is a time limit for taking office after receiving the imperial edict. Qin's law is extremely strict. If the time limit is exceeded, not only others but a group of brothers will not let it go.

Taking a detour to Pei County on his own would have wasted time, and he had to take Lu Pheasant with him on the way. Time was already extremely tight, so Zhao Wen naturally had to hurry up.

Qindu Zhongshu Lingfu!

"Teacher, save me!" As soon as he entered the door, Hu Hai threw himself forward with a sad face, knelt down in front of Zhao Gao and cried loudly.

Ever since Zhao Wen proposed enfeoffment and the merging of counties and counties, and the enfeoffment of remote and wild lands, a group of jobless nobles and idle royals have been continuously being expelled.

But today, the teacher sent word that he was sealed in the Chu land, which shocked Hu Hai.

As a prince, how could he not want to sit on the throne?

No matter what you want to do, you have to stay in the capital of Qin to have a chance. Now, if you go to Chu to seal it, it means that you have nothing to do with the throne.

After all, Zhao Wen's fiefdom is a county, and he is only a city. The gap between the two sides is simply a world of difference.

From this alone, we can know the status of the two of them in the heart of their father.

How could Hu Hai not be shocked when he heard such news?

Zhao Gao's eyes flashed with coldness, he bent down to help Hu Hai, who was hugging his legs, and said coldly: "Who in the world dares to disobey His Majesty's will!"

"You can feel free to go ahead and seal it. As long as I, the teacher, don't die, I will definitely let you come back!"

Looking at Hu Hai, Zhao Gao's face was full of kindness. This was the disciple he had cultivated with great difficulty.

Coming out of Zhao Gao's mansion with a disappointed look on his face, Hu Hai's face was full of disappointment. He never expected that the twenty princes who were originally inconspicuous would suddenly become so outstanding.

All along, he thought that his biggest rival for the throne was his eldest brother Fusu, but now, it was this younger brother who suddenly appeared.

Thinking that except for the eldest brother, all the princes were sealed in the wilderness, even himself, the prince whom his father always loved the most, was no exception, Hu Hai's heart was filled with murderous intent and anger.

A group of nobles and royal families were banished to the border areas, and each family took a large number of people with them when they left, making the originally prosperous Qin capital look a little desolate.

Thinking of what his master said, Hu Hai glanced in the direction of the palace from a distance and strode towards his mansion.

He swore that he would definitely come back!

At the gate of Shouchun City, the avenue where people used to come and go has been sealed tightly. The nobles who are rarely seen in the city all stand ten miles outside the city gate with solemn expressions, watching quietly.

Towards the front.

"coming!"

Seeing a flag in the distance, the leader whispered to himself, and everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

"The Governor of Jiujiang Qu ordered to pay homage to His Royal Highness the 20th Prince!"

Amidst the shouts of greetings, the carriage slowly stopped. Zhao Wen walked out of the carriage lightly, walked forward quickly with a smile on his face, and helped up the prefect Qu Ling who was standing in the front.

He has not yet taken over Jiujiang, he is just a prince, and a prince must never accept the courtesy of a minister, how could he not know this.

"Prefect Qu is too polite!"

Zhao Wen looked at the middle-aged man in his fifties in front of him, with a bit of flattery on his face, but also a bit of fear. Thinking of the other person's last name, his smile couldn't help but become brighter.

The three most powerful families in Chu are Qu, Jing, and Zhao!

Although there are three surnames in Chu, these are the three surnames that Chu will talk about when Qin is destroyed. In the greetings just now, the ones I heard the most were also these three surnames.

From this alone, we can know that the entire Chu land has probably been completely covered by these three surnames.

He secretly lamented that Yingzheng was too soft-hearted and did not massacre the original nobles and officials after the unification. If these people were still in high positions, they would definitely be his own trouble in the future.

But now, there are only five people that I can trust. If I want to take over Jiujiang, I have to rely on these three surnames.

"Your Highness, please come this way!" Qu Yi bent down to lead the way for Zhao Wen with great attentiveness.

Now is the time for a group of princes and nobles to seal a city. All the nobles and princes only seal a city, and there are even a few who seal a city. Many of them directly refer to a piece of land for their own construction.

But the prince's fiefdom in front of him is a county, or a large county like Jiujiang. The significance of this makes Qu Ling, a surrender, careless about it.

Not to mention that he has heard that officials will not be able to serve locally in the future. Now that the 20th prince has taken over Jiujiang, he may be assigned to another place soon.

God knows when we will see you next. If you don't fawn over now, you won't have the chance to fawn over in the future.

All the way to the palace of Chu State, I looked at the huge palace complex in front of me. Even the current Qin Palace was far inferior to it.

As for Shouchun City, in terms of size and population, it is by no means inferior to the capital of Qin.

Thinking that such a place has now become his own fiefdom, Zhao Wen also looked relaxed.

Lu Pheasant, on the other hand, held Zhao Wen's arm tightly to hide his nervousness.

"How many sergeants are there in the city now?"

After taking a look at the neat sergeants standing in front of the palace gate, Zhao Wen suddenly turned around and asked.

"There are now ten thousand soldiers in the city!" A strong man stepped forward and said in salute.
