Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 192 Xiang Yu of the Xiang Clan
Meteors fall from the sky, the ancestral dragon dies and the earth is divided!
Soon, such rumors spread throughout the world as if they had wings.

In Daqin, this rumor caused an uproar, and people's hearts were filled with fear and uneasiness.

Previously, rumors about Ying Zheng's old age and frailty had been circulating for a long time.The arrival of this meteorite seems to be strong evidence to prove this rumor.

People began to worry about the future of Great Qin, worried about Ying Zheng's condition, and worried that Great Qin would fall into turmoil and division.

The people from the six countries who were still lurking in the dark, waiting for opportunities to spy, are even more ready to take action and make frequent moves.

They were already dissatisfied with Ying Zheng's tyranny, but now that something like this happened, they would not let go of this opportunity.

Maybe they don't dare to confront Da Qin head-on, but they can make some tricks in the dark.

With the help of various forces, the entire Qin Dynasty was completely in chaos.

……

The Xiang family.

Inside a mansion.

Xiang Liang of the Xiang clan, his young master Xiang Yu, and counselor Fan Zeng gathered together with sad expressions.

Even Fan Zeng, who is the think tank of the Xiang clan, has a dark expression at this moment.

Whether it was a meteorite falling from the sky or something happening in the Mo family's secret city, the Xiang clan also got the news.

Although Ying Zheng has swept across Liuhe and is extremely powerful, his Xiang family is not without any background.

His Xiang family, originally a nobleman who went abroad, has been a general of the Chu Kingdom for generations, and has a high status and influence.

After the Six Kingdoms were destroyed by Qin, the Xiang family took up the resistance of the Qin Dynasty, hoping to one day revive the Chu Kingdom.

They can sacrifice everything for the restoration of their country.

Xiang Yan frowned, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The Mo family has sent people here again and again. The Emperor Ming, who has been making waves recently, wants to see us, as if he wants to help our Xiang family fight against the Qin Dynasty. !”

"If I delay it any longer, I'm afraid I will offend Emperor Ming's face."

The Xiang clan and the Mo family are in an alliance, and such news cannot be false.

However, facing Zhu Houzhao's kindness, his heart was full of hesitation and uneasiness.

It was not that he suspected that this was a trap set by Zhu Houzhao to lure the Xiang family into the trap.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is now at its peak, and their biggest enemy is the Qin Dynasty.

Under this situation, they had no reason to unite with Great Qin at this time, and it was not like Zhu Houzhao's character to do so.

In fact, what he was really worried about was the consequences of agreeing to Zhu Houzhao's conditions.

Since the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, the Xiang clan has been displaced to several places.

Along the way, they can be said to have witnessed the hardship and cruelty of the world with their own eyes, experienced the harshness of the world, and knew that there is no free lunch in this world.

The reason why Zhu Houzhao helped them was just to use them to fight against Qin.

If Qin is destroyed, where will the Xiang family go?
As the saying goes, it is easier to ask God than to send him away.Once you agree to this condition, I am afraid that the Xiang family will be completely plunged into a situation that is beyond redemption.

From the beginning to the end, what the Xiang clan has always pursued is to revive the Chu State, and resisting Qin is just their means.

The reason why they were able to form an alliance with the Mohists was because the Mohists resisted Qin in order to promote their own school's ideas.

Basically, there is no conflict with the Xiang family, but the Ming Dynasty is different.

No matter how you look at Zhu Houzhao, he doesn't look like someone who lives in a corner. In the future, the Xiang family will inevitably become enemies with the Ming Dynasty.

While hesitating, he began to think about the consequences of various pitfalls and weigh the pros and cons.

It was precisely because of this that he looked at Fan Zeng and asked for his opinion.

Feeling the gazes of Xiang and Liang, Fan Zeng also looked melancholy and sighed: "The storm is about to come, it's coming with great force!"

Previously, they could still drag and hang Daming.

But now that this meteorite has fallen in Da Qin, it is necessary to express its attitude as soon as possible.

No one knows whether meteorites falling from the sky are good or bad.

But now it is undeniable that rumors about Ying Zheng have spread all over the world.

It can be foreseen that in the future, Great Qin will definitely be in chaos.If the Xiang family does not make a decision as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stand out in the chaos of the Qin Dynasty and hold the banner of restoring Chu.

In that case, how can they talk about reviving Da Chu?

But if you do this, you might become Zhu Houzhao's pawn, making it difficult to escape?

At this moment, the Xiang clan is in a dilemma.

Even if he, as a think tank, sees this situation thoroughly, what can he do?

In this troubled world, the most useful thing is still the fist.

Thinking of this, he also looked at Xiang Yu and said slowly: "Young Master, this matter has reached a point where I have to respond."

"It is difficult for the Xiang family to overthrow the Ming Dynasty alone, but if we cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid..."

He didn't continue talking after that.

Since Xiang Yu is the young master of the Xiang clan, the future of the Xiang clan is also in his hands.

Xiang Yu looked at the two of them and nodded, his face becoming serious.

He knew that this was a decision about the entire Xiang clan and he had to consider it carefully.

No matter what, he must make the right choice for the future of the Xiang family.

This is his unshirkable responsibility and mission as the young master of the Xiang clan.

He took a deep breath, stared at the two of them, made a difficult decision, and solemnly said: "As long as I can overthrow the violent Qin, I will accept Ming's kindness."

"As for the future, I will think about it later. Even if I, Xiang Yu, become a sinner of the Xiang family in the end, I, Xiang Yu, will bear the responsibility."

He, Xiang Yu, is such a person. He never blames the world, the world, or himself.

I never regret anything I have done, even if I fail in the end, I accept it happily.

Fan Zeng nodded when he heard this and continued: "Since the young master has decided, I will give my full support."

"I heard that Ming Dynasty will send an envoy here soon, so I think it's better to take a look first."

"If that Great Tomorrow Man is really invincible and can help my Xiang family to regain their country, it won't be too late to feel trapped!"

"What Fan Zeng said is absolutely true!"

Xiang Liang also nodded, expressing deep agreement.

After all, in order for the Xiang clan to become chess pieces, they must be qualified to play chess!
……

Great Qin.

Xianyang Palace.

Above the magnificent and majestic hall, hundreds of civil and military officials stood solemnly.

Although this was a routine court meeting, there was an indescribable depressive atmosphere permeating the hall.

Although the civil and military officials lowered their heads tightly, their eyes had long lost the fear they had towards Ying Zheng.

They had heard the rumors of meteorites falling from the sky, and they didn't care whether the rumors were true or false.

They went to court in such a hurry just to confirm the rumor that Ying Zheng was old and frail.

After all, there is one emperor and one courtier.

Once something happens to Ying Zheng as rumored, Ying Zheng's rule may be about to undergo drastic changes.This also means that a large number of people will lose power and some people will gain power.

No one wants to be the one who loses power!

Moreover, Ying Zheng has always used harsh politics to manage the Qin Dynasty. Although his majesty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it makes them tremble with fear.

They are eager to change the status quo and to have a more wise and tolerant ruler in Qin.

Therefore, this routine court appearance seemed to be ordinary, but in fact it had a vague meaning of forcing the palace.

Everyone was uneasy and secretly wondering about their next move.
