The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 583 Everyone has a bright future!
As for King You of Chu, after considering the final outcome, he did not dare to move the capital again easily. After all, moving the capital was of great importance, and the opposition from his own people was too great.

Since we cannot move the capital, we can only establish good relations with the State of Qin.

But he was reluctant to let King You of Chu cede land to protect himself, and at the same time, he did not dare to do so.

He has not done anything to bring honor to himself since he ascended the throne, and now he wants to cede land. I'm afraid this will really force people to rebel.

In this case, we can only cater to his wishes and borrow his life!
Yan Dan, we are your family!

There are only four countries left in the world today. Given Qin's current organizational and management capabilities, Yan Dan would never dare to send his family to Qin, as that would be walking into a trap.

As for the State of Wei, it had a dense population and was easily exposed, and it was obvious to the naked eye that it would soon face the State of Qin, which was absolutely impossible.

As for the State of Qi, King Jian of Qi only followed the orders of King Zheng of Qin, and it was impossible for Qi and Yan to be mortal enemies.

After all the calculations, only my Great Chu has the possibility.

The Great Chu State was vast and sparsely populated, and the customs of the people in different places varied greatly, making it difficult to be exposed. Hiding his family in Chu was Yan Dan's only option.

Now, it is just right to use Yan Dan's family to express the goodwill of Chu and Qin to maintain friendly relations.

Yan Dan's family is most likely hiding in the mountains and valleys southeast of Da Chu, but they will not be too close to the land of Baiyue. Now the conflict between Da Chu and Baiyue is intense, and they are outsiders, who are obviously from the Central Plains, and they dare not get too close to Baiyue.

After careful consideration, King You of Chu immediately sent people to search for Yan Dan's family.

If someone is arrested by order of the king of a country, then no matter who he is, he will be arrested sooner or later.

Yan Dan's family was headed by Crown Princess Ju Rong, and he also had three concubines, two sons and two daughters.

He was surrounded by only three of the crown prince's most trusted guards, headed by Song Yi, and four personal maids.

There are not too many or too few of these people, and they are in a foreign country, so for the sake of their own safety they dare not disperse easily.

In this era, most people would never be able to leave their hometown in their entire lives. Except when they were called up to serve in the war, most people would live within a radius of dozens of miles.

These people have good looks and temperament, and you can tell at first glance that they are not ordinary people.

In addition, he had a foreign accent, a distinct northern accent. In fact, even if he hid in the mountains in southern Chu, he would still be very conspicuous.

After all, it is impossible for them to completely break away from human society, and it is impossible for them to be self-reliant in their daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

What's more, there are four children. No matter how much they want to take care of themselves, they still need to contact the outside world.

As long as you pay close attention, you can find it anyway, and as long as you find it, you can catch it.

King You of Chu was right in his thinking, but besides him, his two brothers also thought so.

Fu Chu, Lord Changping.

Let’s talk about Prince Fu Chu. When King You of Chu and Prince Fu Chu were both princes, the two had been fighting openly and secretly for the position of crown prince.

King Kaolie of Chu had just passed away and King You of Chu had not yet ascended the throne, but he killed Chunshen Jun's entire family and Fu Chu decisively slid to his knees.

King You of Chu killed people on a large scale. In order to protect his reputation which was almost gone, he spared his brother, and Fu Chu barely managed to save his life.

Although he was saved, he was still under heavy guard by King You of Chu. Although he was given the title of Lord Nanwu, he was not allowed to go to his fiefdom and could only stay in Shouchun.

In order to ease King You of Chu's vigilance, Fu Chu did nothing but eat, drink, and have fun since King You of Chu ascended the throne. He did not want power and did not care about anything else.

But even so, having such a brother, he still couldn't sleep well and could not eat or sleep well. It can be said that he lived in fear every moment.

After all, he, the elder brother, has never had a son, so these younger brothers are all potential terrible threats.

And he has always been unwilling to give up.

In addition, his brother was unpopular and was incompetent in domestic and foreign affairs, so Fu Chu naturally could not stop wanting to be king.

How could anyone be willing to give up the thousands of miles of territory of the Great Chu?
Fu Chu pretended to be addicted to alcohol and women and kept a low profile, but he never stopped his efforts in secret.

King You of Chu killed people on a large scale and controlled the court with violence and power, which made him lose the support of the people. Many people were dissatisfied with him. Although no one dared to say anything under his reign of terror, the number of people who were secretly dissatisfied with and hated him was increasing day by day.

The most terrifying thing is that King You of Chu has no son.

A king, who is almost forty years old and still has no son, is simply a disaster!
Even King You of Chu's own people had to worry about their own future.

After all, his king was really anthropomorphic, and there were definitely more people who hated him than those who liked him. However, the king had no son, so there was no one to inherit, which meant there was no stable and reliable person to turn to, which was too scary. And Fu Chu naturally wanted to compete, after all, his brother had no son, so he was the person closest to the throne. As long as his brother died, then...

There were many people who had this idea. Those who were dissatisfied with King You of Chu and those who were secretly worried naturally gathered around Fu Chu.

Fu Chu had always wanted to send his brother to meet his father, and had been secretly accumulating strength. Unfortunately, even if he did things so cautiously, he could only do it slowly.

The fear of being discovered and the fear of death made him anxious all the time.

Since it is too difficult to rely on yourself, it is better to seek external help!
Qin is the strongest country in the world today. Why not borrow the help of the King of Qin to get rid of my brother?
With the help of King Qin, it is not difficult to sit on the throne!

Coincidentally, Changping Jun thought so too.

Ever since leaving the State of Qin, Lord Changping has felt that his life has become really difficult.

Although Chu was his motherland, he grew up in Qin and had no sense of belonging, mainly because he had no power of his own.

When his anthropomorphic brother succeeded to the throne, Changping Jun was completely numb. He could not understand why Chunshen Jun's entire family was killed before he succeeded to the throne.

If you do this, can you still get people to work for you? Can you still get people to work for Da Chu?

Not only that, because his brother's identity was a threat to King You of Chu, Changping Jun was dismissed from the position of Zuo Yin, which he had obtained with great difficulty, and was given an even more empty and nominal position, becoming the Da Gong Yin who was in charge of all kinds of work.

This became the same thing as what the Qin did, but the title was not as high as in the Qin. Moreover, the craftsmen of Chu did not have as much power as in the Qin, nor were they as respected! You know, the King of Qin attached great importance to the construction of craftsmen, but the Chu did not!
After all, Changping Jun was once the second prime minister of Qin. Although he was alone and weak in Chu, he was capable and it was impossible for him not to be wary of King You of Chu. King You of Chu would not give him a chance and only gave him such a hard and non-threatening position.

This made Changping Jun even more angry! For a political creature like Changping Jun, a power animal, this was more painful than killing him.

Changping Jun was in Daqin, which was so powerful, but he was still the second prime minister! For Dachu, he lost everything, but when he returned to Chu, he had such a hard job, and he was not given the opportunity to enter the core of power.

You have no power at such a young age!
How could Changping Jun not feel hatred in his heart!
However, he had no roots in the State of Chu, and relying solely on slowly building up connections over the past few years had proven to be quite ineffective. After all, with such a good brother, he did not dare to reveal his desire for power.

Although he poses less of a threat and does not need to appear to be addicted to alcohol and sex like his brother Fu Chu, he is still a very low-key person.

However, the growth of Changping Jun's power was very smooth and not difficult.

In fact, it was all thanks to the Qin Dynasty.

In recent years, the Qin Dynasty has become increasingly powerful, destroying countries one after another. Since their own king is such a wretch, many Chu nobles are eager to establish relations with the Qin Dynasty.

Qin and Chu had been intermarried for generations, and the Chu people had great influence in the Qin court. But now the Chu people in the Qin court are leaderless and have no top officials.

In addition, most people now just want to make more friends in Daqin first and keep some preparations, rather than really wanting to surrender to Daqin right away.

After all, although going to the Qin State might give you a broader horizon, wouldn't it be better to be a local emperor in the Chu State? If the day came when the Qin State attacked, it would be great if you could surrender in time.

From this perspective, spending more time with Changping Jun becomes the best option.

After all, Changping Jun was once the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, and his sister was the favorite concubine of the King of Qin. They have so much affection for each other. Given the King of Qin's loyal and righteous character, if there is really anything going on, Changping Jun will definitely be able to have a say!
Moreover, Changping Jun had no roots in the State of Chu and was weak and alone. This was the best candidate and the best opportunity to stir up trouble!

Besides, the king has no son. If something happens...

Then only these brothers have a chance. If Changping Jun has the support of Qin, then...

Due to various reasons, Changping Jun's development in the State of Chu was unexpectedly rapid and smooth.

And Changping Jun thought so too!
My brother has no son, which means I have a chance too! There are only two stumbling blocks left in front of me!
After testing each other again and again, Fu Chu and Changping Jun came together tacitly.

Changping Jun pretended to have ambitions but not much, and pretended to surrender to Fu Chu, with Prince Fu Chu as the leader.

In fact, we have made preparations for both situations.

The first is to instigate Fu Chu to be the first to take action, and while ensuring his own safety, do his best to help his brother Fu Chu kill his brother King Chu Han.

Second, even if he couldn't kill them, it would be fine if both sides suffered losses. Whether Fuchu killed Han or they both suffered losses, he could wait in the background, kill them both, contact Qin, and ask Qin to support him in ascending the throne.

Changping Jun believed that he still had some face in Qin State, and that his succession to the throne would inevitably lead to friendly relations with Qin State, which was also in the interests of Qin State, and the King of Qin would not disagree.

If it really doesn't work, ceding land and asking for support from Qin is also an option. Changping Jun is mentally prepared for this.

Even if the above plan fails, then the next best option is to kill brother Han and help brother Fu Chu succeed to the throne.

When the time comes, I will return the favor. I don't ask for any reward from my brother Fu Chu, such as promotion. I just need to give some land and cities to Qin and send myself back to Qin, and continue to shoulder the important task of maintaining friendship between Qin and Chu.
