I Became the Crown Prince of a Ruined Country

109 – Chunshingun Hwanghuol

Highly praised.

It was the utmost praise Chunshin could give.

“I was dubious, but this is certain. Pyeongwon-gun did a really big job at the end.”

Yes. Pyeongwon-gun played a big role.

The goal I am currently pursuing. Unification of the Qin Dynasty. It is now built on many reasons, not just one cause.

Among them, the biggest one was for Jung, as I said in the conversation I had with Jung under the eclipse.

I will not let the affection I gained, the girl who wanted to be happy become Qin Shi Huang. After burning her revenge and ambition along the chain of her hatred, she is determined to prevent herself from falling into a link in the chain.

However, what was at the bottom, at the root, was definitely the promise with Pyeongwon-gun.

Without him, I wouldn’t have even started thinking about this.

“From now on, I will treat the crown prince as a young junior student and try to induce it without hesitation. I just want to hear the prince’s opinion. Would you like to tell this hwangmo? Do you keep it?”

Chunshin-kun’s tone changed.

Chunshin-kun, who will acknowledge me as an object equal to himself, and who will openly discuss the matter. Judging from the word dubious, I guess it could be said that he did a test to determine the truth of the words he heard about me from people around him.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t offended at all, but it was understandable.

Chunshin-kun had never met me in person. It is not something you can see through media outlets such as radio or TV like in modern times, and since you have to rely only on the testimony of others, it is difficult to blindly believe in it without any verification.

Even if the guarantor was Lord Xinling, as the ruler who supported the country of Chu, Lord Chunxin would have constantly doubted and doubted.

Mosu, who led the joint army by receiving reinforcements from the unprecedented assault of threatening King Chu, said that Chunshin-gun was too thoughtful and slow to make decisions.

However, he is so knowledgeable and eloquent that he has enough ability to cover up his shortcomings, so he just doesn’t stand out.

Mosu’s character review was a little bit, but it was much more accurate than me who knows the history.

Isn’t there a saying that it’s harder to hide than to reveal? Like the feeling that in order to get a score of zero on an exam, you must have the ability to score a score of 100.

As a person who hid his true identity, Mosu’s character review was harsh but never wrong.

This is the critique, and I answered Chunshin-kun’s question.

“In the Han Dynasty, there is no hero comparable to Chunshingun and Shinlinggun, so wouldn’t it be more appropriate to have the highest Han king as the musketeer in name?”

“Nominally…”

Even if the king of Han is appointed as the representative, he does not directly lead the joint army.

If the king is with you, the morale of the army will pierce the sky, but the risk is too great. A battlefield is a place where no one can predict when, where, or what will happen, except for those who are killed or captured in war.

It is not uncommon for people to die from endemic diseases, and there may be cases where they die of a heart attack while crossing a river.

Therefore, even if the king of Han is appointed as the musketeer, it is only a nominal one, and the actual role of the musketeer will be taken by someone below him.

“I heard that Sangsang Han-hee led the army last time. If the King of Han is put forward as the representative of the joint army, there is a high probability that he will serve as the deputy.”

“Seungsang Han-hee might have a chance, but isn’t there someone higher than him?”

“You’re Jangpyeong from the top.”

Changping is the upper chamber of the Han Dynasty, and was the second generation to inherit the position of the upper chamber of the Han Dynasty, succeeding his father, Chiang Kai-shek. However, it was a sad family if loyalty to the Han Dynasty was the second most important factor to be called a god of authority.

Since the size of the Han Dynasty has shrunk so much, it is largely because the number of talented aristocratic families has shrunk as well. And since the original Changgaeji and Jangpyeong clans originated from collaterals of the Han dynasty, the royal family does not hold them in check.

The reason I know about these people in such detail is not that they are particularly great people, nor is it because they have always had a deep interest in the Han Dynasty.

It was only recently that I learned about the history of the Jang family.

Former Han Dynasty Chiang Kai-shek and current Han Dynasty Chang Ping were well-known names, but there was a different reason why I became interested in them.

Without having to go far, I was able to recognize them right away because of Jangpyeong’s children.

‘I didn’t know that Zhang Liang was already born.’

Zhang Liang. He is a sleeping child, and his title is Yuhura.

His seat is the seat of Hansam-geol, who helped Yu Bang to establish the Han Dynasty, and even today, after thousands of years, the name Jang Ja-bang is considered synonymous with Jinang.

The anecdote that Jojo called Soon-wook my eldest son’s room is very famous, and in Korea, it is said that Yi Seong-gye had Jeong Do-jeon and was like the eldest son’s room.

In terms of recognition alone, Zhuge Liang in later generations may be a bit more famous, but in terms of ability and performance, he was an unparalleled staff member.

‘Just as it is national rule to hire Zhuge Liang if you were born in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, if you were born in this era, of course you should get the eldest son’s room.’

If I had to argue, I’m about a generation older than Zhang Liang, and unlike what I know, Zhang Ping only has a daughter, not a son, but they have the same name, so they’re probably the same person.

‘Even though I’m still a kid, I should get used to my face from an early age.’

Chunshin-kun, who had no idea what I was thinking, shook his head, saying that Jangpyeong wasn’t bad either.

“With the King of Han as the representative, the joint army is raised, and Jangpyeong is the actual musketeer. It’s a very good story. Even if they do, there will be no one who claims to be unfair.”

Chunshin-kun exclaims in admiration for his clarity.

But I could see that his reaction was made up. Exactly, he let out exclamations out of habit and seemed to be lost in other thoughts on the inside.

Because I was so good at hiding it, I almost accidentally overlooked it, but I had a habit like that, so I was able to notice it with difficulty.

“How about it? Wouldn’t that be enough for Chunshin-kun’s plan?”

“…What do you mean, my plan?”

“Isn’t that a bluff. Joint forces.”

Chunshin-gun speaks of Hapjong-gun, but he has no intention of actually going to war.

That was my conclusion after talking with Chunshin-gun.

“Did it come out?”

As if he had nothing to hide anymore, Chunshin-kun didn’t deny it and said with a grin.

“Dimly.”

“This, I’m all too old now. I once fooled King Soyang with these three tongues in the Qin Dynasty.”

“Is it to show you how you found me?”

“That’s right too.”

“Was it true that it caused a coalition?”

“Yes. A joint army will arise. But there will be no war.”

The purpose of Chunshin-gun was not to wage a war through the combined army, but a kind of bluffing to frighten the opponent by intentionally revealing the hand of the combined army.

“My goal is to bring Qi to the conference room.”

A battlefield where you fight with your tongue, not your blade.

His words were full of confidence that if he could lead his opponent there, he would surely win.

I suddenly remembered that he had invited Emperor Sun, who was the emperor’s adviser and the ruler of the Imperial Court, to the country of Chu.

With the sensation of the gears clicking in my head, I saw through the entirety of Chunshin-kun’s plan.

“You’re a scary person, Mr. Chunshin. Was it part of your plan to receive Emperor Sun as a guest and send him to the throne of Nanling?”

“Shunhwang. He is more knowledgeable than I am, and he taught many people at the Imperial Palace under the directive and built up an eloquent speech. My long experience is that it is better to reduce variables as much as possible.”

Take out Sunhwang, the only person in Qi who can fight with himself.

He raises a joint army and induces Qi to come forward when he is scared and negotiates first.

Then, through his eloquence at the conference room created, he extorts interests from the Qi state and cuts off his ties with the Qin state.

This was Chunshin-kun’s plan.

“I didn’t even think that the cause of the Hana Joint Army must be protected. With the crown prince’s insight, this Hwangmo learned a new thing. This is true.”

Then, I guess the praise you just gave was because you showed an unexpected point of view.

The board woven by Chunshin-gun, who seems to know or not know what is inside, boasts a tight weave that does not reveal his somewhat indecisive personality. The downside of hesitating in front of a major decision is not so important if you follow the plan that you have made in advance.

When I thought that I had added one stroke that I lacked in such a picture of Chunshin-gun, I could guess the surprise that Chunshin-gun felt.

“You did well to come in person. And next time I’ll have to find the crown prince faster than now.”

Refer to the next time. It was said that Chunshingun also had a joint army in mind to stop the Qin Dynasty.

I stand up following him as he rises from his seat with words implying farewell.

“Do you want to go?”

“Because there is no need to give Qin time to prepare countermeasures. As the crown prince advised, if we are to visit the Han we will not hurry.”

If Yan and Chu came forward and raised a joint army as originally planned by Chunshingun, then he could return to Chu.

But as I insisted on making Han Na-ra the face madam, there was a change in his line of movement. I will have to work harder to meet the schedule.

“I will tell Jangpyeong well about the affair with the crown prince.”

“Oops, I was caught too.”

“Huh. Even if you look at it like this, it’s a body with only 3,000 diners.”

As if it was really time to leave, Chun-sin immediately said goodbye with a gongsoo-rye.

I also put my hands together and said in response to him.

“Please take a look.”

“The crown prince too. Be careful until the day you see him again.”

This was a short meeting with Chunshin-kun, who vanished after being blown away like a passing gale.
