Chapter 141 Intrigue
Looking at Changping Jun who took the initiative to step forward, Zheng Ge's eyes changed slightly, and a hint of emotion emerged in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a candidate. I wonder if I should tell you or not?"

Seeing that Changping Jun wanted to take on the task of suppressing the rebellion in Yingchuan County, and since he learned about the rebellion in Yingchuan County, he had the intention of turning Yingchuan County into a grave for Tianxuanzi, a thorn in his side. Like a loyal lackey, Zhao Gao, the Minister of the Central Chariots, who stood under Zheng Ge, spoke bravely in his hoarse duck voice that was very characteristic of a eunuch.

"Say!"

Zheng Ge cast a glance at Zhao Gao and spoke a word sparingly.

Zhao Gao said with a flattering look on his face, "Your Majesty, not long ago, you appointed Tian Xuanzi as the governor of Yingchuan County. According to Luowang's intelligence, Tian Xuanzi brought 3,000 cavalrymen with him when he rushed from Yan to Yingchuan County to take office. In addition, my Great Qin has stored tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanyang County, which is close to Yingchuan County. Changping Jun is an important official of the country. Asking him to go to Yingchuan County to quell the rebellion is like overkill!"

"Why not order the new Yingchuan County Magistrate, Tian Xuanzi, to work together with the Nanyang County Magistrate to wipe out the rebellion in Yingchuan County!"

As soon as Zhao Gao finished speaking, Zheng Ge knew what this dog was up to. Immediately, his black and bright jade eyes narrowed slightly, and a meaningful look fell on Zhao Gao.

boom!
Zhao Gao did not expect that his little trick could be hidden from Zheng Ge. Facing Zheng Ge's meaningful gaze, he was terrified and silent. His knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Yes!" Although Zheng Ge saw through Zhao Gao's little thoughts, he had no intention of stopping him. He withdrew his gaze from Zhao Gao and uttered a word.

……

Xiangfu.

After the court session, Changping Jun Xiong Qi was filled with terrifying pressure, like a volcano that was constantly accumulating magma. As a result, no one in the court who was on good terms with Changping Jun dared to approach him, fearing that they would become the punching bag of the right prime minister. The only exception was Changping Jun's brother: Changwen Jun.

The two brothers arrived at the residence of Lord Changping. The servants around them sensed the anger of the two masters and cleverly kept their distance from them.

"Dad, uncle."

The brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun walked silently towards the study to discuss business. Suddenly, a delicate and beautiful voice sounded, waking the brothers up.

"Lian'er!"

Changping Jun looked up and saw his beloved daughter, Mi Lian, standing under a plum tree not far away. The blooming wintersweets were pink and white, but they were inferior to Mi Lian's fair skin. Mi Lian, who had just reached the age of marriage, had inherited her mother's beautiful face, with an innocent look and a smile on her lips, as if she could heal everything.

When their eyes met, Changping Jun's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly at the innocent smile of his beloved daughter. He smiled kindly and called softly.

"Dad, I'll go make tea for you and uncle." Although Mi Lian was under the protection of the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, she had never been exposed to the dirt of the world. However, she was intelligent by nature, and her eyes were as gentle as water. She only needed to glance at her father and uncle to know that they had something to talk about, so she took the initiative to speak.

"Remember to soak for a while longer." Changping Jun was very pleased with his precious daughter's clever thoughts. He stroked his beard and gave the instruction.

After sending Mi Lian away, Changping Jun and Changwen Jun, who were born in the royal family of Chu and were the sons of the former king of Chu, King Kaolie, but had never lived on the land of Chu for a day, walked into the study together. After entering the study, Changwen Jun, who was usually calm and self-controlled, closed the door with force. His face, which looked like Changping Jun but younger, was full of anger from the bottom of his heart.

"Damn it! Zhao Gao, this eunuch!" Chang Wenjun cursed angrily the moment the door closed, "Our plan was ruined just because he wanted to avenge a personal grudge!" At the end of his words, a murderous intent appeared on Chang Wenjun's slightly fat face. It made people wonder if Zhao Gao would be killed by him if he were here.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Changping Jun's temperament was much calmer than his brother Changwen Jun. When Changwen Jun was incompetent and furious, Changping Jun sat calmly on a master's chair, tapping the desk with a smooth finger, and the crisp sound lingered in the study for a long time.

"Second brother," Changping Jun finally spoke after Changwen Jun finished his futile roar, "It's true that the first step of the plan failed, but we didn't lose."

Speaking of this, a strong sense of pride appeared on Changping Jun's face.

"Based on my understanding of Ying Zheng, before destroying Chu, because we have worked diligently for decades and seem to have forgotten the Chu blood in our bodies, Ying Zheng will definitely send us to Chu and use our status as princes of Chu to appease the people of Chu!"

As an old fox who had been in the Qin officialdom for decades, Changping Jun had absolute control over his study. In this private environment, he unceremoniously called Brother Zheng by his name.

"In addition, Zhao Gao, in order to avenge his personal grudge, threw the task of quelling the rebellion in Yingchuan County onto Tian Xuanzi." After the court session, on the way back to the mansion, Changping Jun frantically racked his brains, trying to save the situation. "You can also see that Tian Xuanzi was prepared by Ying Zheng for the eldest son Fusu."

When mentioning his nephew, 'Eldest Prince Fusu', a look of heartfelt kindness appeared on Changping Jun's face.

Chang Wenjun nodded slightly, agreeing with his elder brother's point of view, and said with some jealousy: "I heard that in this war against Yan, the new cavalry equipped with the horse harness jointly developed by Tianxuanzi and Gongshuchou showed great power. If nothing unexpected happens, when Wang Jian's army returns, the soldiers of Qin will be equipped with these things."

"Brother, we must get as much horse harness as possible, with..."

Changping Jun interrupted his brother and said, "Of course."

Brush and pull!

At this point, a gleam of light suddenly flashed from Changping Jun's eyes, which were filled with sparkling luster.

"Second brother," Changping Jun raised his lips slightly and said meaningfully, "Don't you think that Tianxuanzi is missing something?"

"Brother, you..." Although Chang Wenjun was not as cunning and wise as Chang Pingjun, he was undoubtedly a smart man. When he heard his elder brother's words, he was confused at first, and then a flash of enlightenment flashed across Chang Wenjun's eyes, "You mean, a wife of noble status and similar age?"

"That's right." Changping Jun nodded slightly, with a look of pain and struggle in his eyes, which finally turned into indifference as if he looked down on everything.

tread!tread!tread!
As the two brothers were talking, they could hear heavy footsteps approaching from far away. Mi Lian, who was sent by the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun to make tea and prepare cakes, had returned. Knowing that his father and uncle must be discussing important matters in the study, Mi Lian deliberately stepped heavier to remind them in this way, so as not to hear anything he shouldn't hear or didn't want to hear.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, the brothers Changping Jun and Changwen Jun both looked stern, and tacitly suppressed the sound.

"Lian'er, how about I find a husband for you?" When Mi Lian came to the study, Changping Jun looked at his precious daughter deeply, and the first words he said made Changwen Jun and Mi Lian change color.
