Age of mythical princes

Chapter 283 The Emperor Regards His Subjects as Brothers and Feet

"I heard you are leaving?"

"Correct."

"Then, are you within the range of leaving?"

"Correct."

"Then will you come back again?"

"do not know."

"I'm just a little warlock, Young Master Si has treated me with great kindness, now that Young Master needs it, I have to return."

"Then what do we do?"

"Here is a jade hairpin. If I can successfully break through and become a Taoist within five years, I will find a way to come back. If I haven't come back after five years..."

……

For many people, the Wei family is far away on the other side of the mountain. After parting at this moment, it will be difficult to see each other again.

Today's farewell is forever.

The people at the bottom are immersed in the sorrow of parting, full of sorrow, but the monks at the top don't think that Jin is far away.

As long as the Taoist priests are careful, go to big cities more, go to safe places more, and don't risk their lives, they can still go to Yancheng from Wei's territory safely.

As for Taoist priests, it is safer, even going back and forth quickly.

Therefore, the sorrow of parting is only filled among the lower levels. What the upper level thinks is that I want to go to the Wei family with the young master to show off.

Maybe this is why the joys and sorrows of human beings are not interlinked.

Prince Si is about to leave, and the 50-year history of Hanoi County may change from today.

In the past, the ruler of Hanoi County was Gongzi Si, the son of the wishing age.The governor of Hanoi County is Li Kui, a world-class politician, and the captain of Hanoi County is Pang Juan, a fairly qualified general.

Today, the ruler of Hanoi County is Gongzi Si's eldest son Gongzi Chi, and the governor of Hanoi County is Ximen Bao, a virtuous minister.It's not that Ximen Leopard is not good, but compared with Li Kui, it's not at the same level, and the county captain of Hanoi County has become Le Yang.Yueyang is actually quite qualified, but compared to Pang Juan, he is not so good.

The most important thing is that this guy is not a meritocracy, he is a crony guy, and he is a guy who likes his background.

However, at present, Young Master Ji's father, Young Master Si, is still alive, so Young Master Chi will definitely keep a low profile and not make it so obvious.Both Ximen Bao and Le Yang are assistant ministers left behind by Young Master Si, so Young Master Chi will not let himself go so quickly.

But what is certain is that the days of the remaining 700 million people in Hanoi County are definitely not as comfortable as before.Next, Hanoi County may also lose everything in the battles of Qinglian Fantasy World.The powerful Hanoi County left behind by Young Master Si will soon be reduced to second-rate goods.

Even more than 40 counties will be lost one by one.

This is all to be expected.

However, this is a matter of Hanoi County, and has nothing to do with Xiang's sonship.

Today Young Master Ji came to look for Young Master Fei, seeing Young Master Ji finally arrived, Zhang's ovary couldn't help but sigh silently.

"Young master, I came here today to say goodbye to you."

Young Master Fei nodded silently, this day has long been expected.

Unlike Li Si, behind Young Master Ji there is such a giant as the Xiang family.

The Xiang family is the lord of Chu, and one of the more powerful lords among them.

The current Patriarch of the Xiang family, Xiang Yan, is a first-generation monarch, and his strength is still very strong.

Xiang Yan's eldest son is Xiang Yu's father and the head of the next generation of the Xiang family, but his strength is not very good, and now he is only a minister, not the first monarch.

But Xiang Yan's other son, Xiang Liang, was also the first monarch.However, he is a good younger brother and has no intention of seizing the inheritance rights of the Xiang family. Therefore, Xiang Yu, the son, is still worthy of his name.

But everyone knows that if Xiang Yan goes in the future, Xiang Liang must be in charge of the Xiang family, and when Xiang Liang goes, he will be the son.

Otherwise, Xiang Liang could leave the Xiang family and open up a branch family and a small sect by himself.

With Xiang Liang's strength, no matter which country he goes to, he will be welcomed by the princes, and then it is the old routine to marry a daughter of the princes and become the prince.

Today's Xiang family has produced the first monarch for two consecutive generations. It was originally the feudal monarch of Chu, and now its territory has continued to expand to more than 100 counties.

The feudal monarchs are also divided into two states. One is that the first monarch is still alive. At that time, the territory of the feudal monarch is generally relatively large.

One is that the first monarch passed away, and without the first monarch, he would not be able to maintain such a large territory, and would silently hand over part of the territory to the monarch, and the monarch would provide shelter for the lord.Such a feudal monarch often only has ten or twenty counties or even fewer fiefs.

But in any case, the lord cannot be allowed to lose all his fiefdoms. This is also an unspoken rule.

Today's Xiang family has produced two first-generation monarchs in succession. Now even if the territory has expanded to more than 200 counties, Chu Hou will only pretend not to see it.It's just that Xiang Yan felt that that would be too exaggerated and hated by others. If one day in the future, the Xiang family lost its first monarch, they would be counterattacked by the surrounding nobles and die miserably.

As the future head of the Xiang family, it is impossible for Gong Ziji to go to Korea with Gong Zifei.

"Now the State of Wu is about to attack the State of Chu. Although the State of Wu is a bit overconfident, we cannot underestimate the State of Wu."

"Grandpa wrote in a letter saying that the atmosphere of pride is everywhere in the state of Chu, and he doesn't like this atmosphere very much."

"My uncle wrote in a letter saying that the war is about to start, and he wants me to go back and accumulate some meritorious deeds and make some fame. My uncle said that although I was famous in the past, it was all false. Now I need to establish some real meritorious deeds to prove myself .”

"And I also feel that it is necessary for me to participate in this battle."

"So, coming here today is to bid farewell to you, Young Master."

There is no never-ending feast

The son is leaving too.

Young Master Fei smiled slightly: "Okay, when are you leaving? Treating you to a drink will be considered a formal farewell."

Young Master Ji laughed: "I want good wine! I want good wine!"

"Okay, how about drinking Yancheng's special offering, the top monkey wine?"

"Is the one you bought this time real or fake? Don't buy fakes? Most of the things circulating in the black market are fakes!"

"Okay, this time I'll go to the special store to buy, add money!"

"Well, the ones in the special store are indeed genuine. There are marks on each bottle, but the price is too expensive. But, before we leave, we have to kill you, right?"

Speaking of this, the son's family has not left yet, and he seems to find it difficult to say something.

Zhang's ovary immediately said: "We have been friends for so many years, so if you have anything to say, just talk about it."

"Well, you also know that over the years, grandpa and uncle have sent many people to our Hexi County to learn various techniques and Taoism. Now, grandpa and uncle want to withdraw some of them, and then send some newcomers to continue learning... ..."

"No problem, any more?"

"Ah? Oh! No, no, that's all."

"Then get ready for a drink!"

"Okay, drink, this time if you don't get drunk, you won't return!"

……

The envoys of Chu State in Yancheng were neither fools nor deaf, especially after Fu Chai openly asked other countries for money to attack Chu, the envoys were aware of Fu Chai's hateful intentions: there are not a few countries in the world who hate Chu State, but they dare to directly complain to Chu There are not many countries where Chu sent troops.

This Fucha just made up his mind to pay back the money with the blood of the Wu people.

Those princes really hated Chu State in their hearts, and they did not dare to send troops to Chu State alone in the past, but they still had the courage to ask merchants to spend money to buy Wu State bonds in private.

Moreover, what Fu Chai said this time is also very clear: Wu State does not expect to be able to destroy Chu State by itself. Every time it captures a place, it quickly transfers population, minerals, and materials. It is clear that it wants to fight Chu State forever.

At this time, the big guys support the husband with a little money, just to spend money to buy a thug.

Many vassal states do not have much military strength, but their ancestors have saved a lot of money.A large amount of gold, natural materials and earth treasures, and spiritual roots can be repaid. In Yancheng today, as long as you have goods, as long as your goods are of good quality, there will be no shortage of buyers.

As a result, the trading market in Yancheng once again flourished.

In ordinary places, if large-scale shipments are made, the price of the goods will be lowered quickly, but Yancheng is different. There is a bond exchange here, and wealth from many places in the world is gathered here, and some are money.

There are the largest number of Taoists in the whole world here, and the more Taoists there are, the more exquisite their skills in alchemy and weapon refining will be.

In many industries, it is true that a genius is worth a hundred or a thousand ordinary people.But even a genius needs to stand on the foundation laid by the predecessors to be effective.

Today's Yancheng, such as alchemy, refining and other industries, gathers more and more qi practitioners. After communicating with each other, the treasures at the two levels of magic tools and magic weapons have been able to achieve the best in the world.

Even for the three major palaces of Luoyang, Qufu, and Donghai, simply comparing treasures at the level of magic tools and magic weapons, the quality of the same price is not as good as that of Yancheng, and the price of the same quality must be more expensive than Yancheng.

Suddenly, large-scale treasures of heaven and earth, corpses of fierce beasts, and corpses of demon kings appeared on the market. The other party also specified that they only wanted money, and they only wanted unregistered money tickets. This clearly meant that they wanted to buy Wu's war bonds.

The envoy of the state of Chu roughly counted the shipments of heaven and earth treasures, corpses of fierce beasts and corpses of demon kings in the market in the past ten days. own discovery.

This envoy was from the Qu family, and was also a senior minister. He could be regarded as a serious upper-class figure in the Chu state.

In the state of Chu, whether you can be an official, whether you can be a high-ranking official, depends first on your origin.

If you were born in the Qu family, as long as you have enough talent, there are basically no unspoken rules to restrict you, and there is no ceiling blocking your head, preventing you from making further progress.

The Qu family, the Jing family, and the Zhao family, these three major families were all sons of the king of Chu a long time ago, and after generations of development, they were just separated families.The relationship between the three major families and the Xiong family is that of the branch family and the main family, which are regarded as the public family.

Qu's, Jing's, Zhao's and Xiong's are closely related, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are a family.Therefore, as long as people from these three major families are talented, it is easy to become an official or a high-ranking official.

The envoy's name was Boyong, and he was also a nobleman who loved Chu very much.

Therefore, this second time, in addition to sending a letter to his superiors, he also used his personal relationship to explain the situation to his uncle who is the head of the family.

Qu Boyong was not clear about it, but in fact, the senior officials of Chu State knew about it as early as after he sent the letter for the first time.For this reason, the contemporary Chuhou was furious.It's a long story.

Chuhou's father, that is, the previous generation of Chuhou's posthumous title was Ping, so he should be called Pinghou.

This Marquis Ping is a misfit, a demon in his eyes. He has taken a fancy to his son's wife, a fiancée from the state of Qin.Therefore, Tang Minghuang was not the first in this regard.

After seeing it, he grabbed it directly.However, this son is not a casual son, he is the original prince of Chu State, he is the future heir, he has a team, and he has his own team.

The crown prince's grand tutor is Wu Zixu's own father.

Pinghou acted first, cut off the prince's wings in advance, and arrested Wu Zixu's father. He also asked the envoy to arrest Wu Zixu and Wu Zixu's elder brother. He also asked the envoy to tell these two sons: If you don't come, you will Kill your own father.

After the envoy left, Wu Zixu said it was a trap. If he went there, he would die together, which was useless.

But the eldest brother said that if neither of them went, it would not be suitable.Then the eldest brother decided to go by himself, and told Wu Zixu to take revenge before leaving.

In the end, the eldest brother and father died, Wu Zixu escaped from the state of Chu with the help of the nobles, and helped the prince to do things together, revenge, but failed, the prince also died, finally Wu Zixu had no choice but to go to Helu.

And the current Marquis Chu is the son of Marquis Ping and that girl from Qin Guogui.It may be that the bloodlines of the two families are both extraordinary, so the Chuhou came to the fore when he was young, and later became the first monarch, he became the heir, and then became the current Chuhou.

This matter involved Pinghou robbing his son's wife and having a baby with his daughter-in-law, and this baby inherited the position of Chuhou. Still have to be personal.

Frankly speaking, it is not uncommon for the nobles to do worse things in private, but everyone is experienced and can clean up their hands. As long as the news does not spread, I will still be that upright and sunny nobleman.

Because of Wu Zixu's escape, and because some lords in the country can't understand Chuhou, this matter has spread wildly throughout the Chu country in the past few days, and there is even a saying: The reason for today's battle against Chu , all because of the fatuous Pinghou who coveted his daughter-in-law and killed Wu Zixu's family. Now they are here for revenge.

As soon as this incident happened, Chuhou's reputation instantly became rotten, unbearable!
Chuhou was also very speechless about this matter.But what can he say?

No!

His position is inherited, how can a son say that his father is not right or that is not good?

Doing so will shake the foundation of governance!

Therefore, for the gossip among the people, Chu Hou could only scold those damn nobles in private, dare to spread any news!
