Zhao Wen held a banquet to entertain his imperial brother, and invited all the upper echelons of Shouchun to accompany him.
At the same time, it was also the first time that Zhao Wen, the ruler of Jiujiang, appeared publicly in front of all the upper-class people in Shouchun. No one was willing to miss this opportunity.
Although Zhao Wen's schedule was very tight, when the time came, all the upper-class people in Shouchun gathered in a palace to enjoy what was definitely the most top-notch song and dance in the entire Chu Kingdom.
The best wine, the most luxurious banquet, the most top-notch singing and dancing, the twenty emperor brothers, the master of the Chu palace, were still chatting and laughing with them, but for some reason, looking at the face in front of him that was exactly the same as the one in the capital of Qin, Hu Hai
But it felt extremely strange.
I came to Shouchun to fight the autumn wind. Everyone here knew it, including this twenty-emperor brother who was granted a title to the Great Imperial City.
But since he came in, the emperor's brother in front of him, who had always been obedient when he was in the capital of Qin, has been toasting to him without saying a word to help him.
As for the original Chu nobles in the palace, they all looked at me like a savage beast and did not even give me a chance to speak.
Not to mention anything else, I just saw that the gifts brought by these Chu nobles to the banquet were probably worth at least ten thousand gold in total.
These gifts alone, if exchanged for the tax revenue from one's fiefdom, would probably be enough to cover one's own income for dozens or hundreds of years.
The prince who is also his father was far inferior to me before. He just boldly said a few words in the court meeting, and was valued by his father. He was granted a title in the great royal city and lived the life he had dreamed of.
And even if he comes to ask for help, he still pretends not to know.
Looking up at the smiling Zhao Wen, thinking of his impoverished fiefdom, he now knew that he had brought too many people to the fiefdom this time.
Because of the anger in his heart, he brought everyone in his house to the fiefdom, but a small town did not have the resources to feed so many people.
But now that the person has been brought, there is no way to let him go back, and he can't let go of this face.
If there is no harvest from the twenty emperor brothers this time, I am afraid that some people in the fief will be hungry after he returns.
Thinking of this, Hu Hai suppressed his dissatisfaction, put a smile on his face, and walked towards a rich man from Chu.
He is the eighteenth prince of the Great Qin Empire, and his twenty-eighth younger brother can deny him face, but he really doesn't believe that these rich people in the Chu region dare to deny him face.
Sitting above, watching Hu Hai keep walking towards the guests he invited, his face became increasingly ugly, and the smile on Zhao Wen's face became brighter and brighter.
After all, Hu Hai was too young. The people he invited were now only wealthy households in the Chu land, but they could have been nobles in the Chu country.
The nobles of Chu State also had fiefdoms, but they lost their status as nobles after the unification of the Qin Dynasty.
With such a status, if he were a prince with a fiefdom of one county, he would still lower his stature. But this time, the First Emperor conferred dozens of princes at one time, each of them from a small border town.
It was said that it was sealed off, but in the eyes of these former nobles, it meant that it was far away from the center of power.
In the view of a group of Chu nobles with rich experience in fighting, since they were out of the battle for the throne, they no longer had any chance.
In the entire Great Qin, only Fusu and the twenty princes have the possibility of ascending to the throne.
But Fusu, as the eldest son, has not had any advantages that others can see for so many years except his status as the eldest son.
Now that a prince like Zhao Wen has grown up, he has a chance, but Fusu's chance is already very slim.
Facing Zhao Wen, these former nobles of the Chu State already regarded Zhao Wen as the next generation heir to the throne of Qin.
Hu Hai looked ambitious when he arrived, and it was obvious that he still had ambitions for the throne. Under such circumstances, if he helped Hu Hai, he would be standing opposite to himself.
Living in Shouchun City, but wanting to support another prince, I am afraid that a group of Chu nobles originally from Shouchun City will be able to deal with such an idiot without having to speak up.
The banquet was still going on. Except for Hu Hai's dissatisfaction, it could be said that the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
After the banquet, Zhao Wen even sent the ugly-looking Hu Hai to the gate of the Chu Palace, where a group of former Chu nobles from Shouchun City praised Zhao Wen for his brotherhood.
Ignoring the irrepressible anger on Hu Hai's face, Zhao Wen returned to the Chu Palace with a smile on his face.
In the battle for the throne, there has never been any talk of retreat.
Hu Hai was banished to the border area by the First Emperor. If he had stayed in the border area honestly, he might still be able to survive.
But as he is now, expressing his emotions openly and openly, obviously still having ambitions for the throne, and actually coming to him for help, Zhao Wen can only say that Hu Hai is too naive now.
In a courtyard in the capital of Qin, a middle-aged man looked at the eunuch who had followed him since childhood and asked with disbelief: "Have you really found out clearly that the three surnames of Chu State are marrying off their own daughters?"
To the twenty princes?"
"Master, I have inquired very clearly. Many people in the upper echelons of the Qin Dynasty have already spread the word about this matter. Many Qin nobles even publicly said that the twenty princes' wives must be chosen from among the Qin nobles!"
The middle-aged man had a pensive expression on his face and turned to look around. This was a very special place in the entire Great Qin, and the security level could definitely be compared to that of the Imperial Palace of Great Qin.
The people living here were all the kings of the Six Kingdoms or very high-status royal families. Generally, even if they went out, very few people would be willing to contact them, so it was extremely difficult to get the news they wanted.
He had already analyzed that the next generation of Great Qin's emperor would most likely be this twentieth prince, but before he could take any action, news came that three surnames from the Chu Kingdom would marry their daughters to this twenty prince.
.
Thinking that in the future the emperor of Great Qin would have the blood of the Chu Kingdom, the middle-aged man looked unwilling. After all, his Zhao Kingdom was destroyed after a bloody battle with Great Qin.
But as for the Chu State, with the foundation of the Chu State, even if hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated, they could still mobilize hundreds of thousands more, but to surrender unexpectedly was simply a shame for the royal families of the six kings.
But now, this shame that he looked down upon actually came to him, how could he accept it?
"Send a letter to the King of Qin and say that I am willing to marry my daughter to the twenty-first prince of his family!"
Looking towards the direction of the Great Qin Palace, the middle-aged man had a sneer on his face. He could naturally see that King Qin was still hesitant about the choice of the prince. In this case, he would help the twenty princes!
Marrying his daughter would stabilize the hearts of the people of Zhao. He didn't believe that King Qin would not be moved!
