Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 131

Chu Palace

Chu Wang Xiong Wangao sat on the throne, his ruddy face was full of a playful look.

Below, three old men sat on the left one by one.They are already in their 60s, but they look like they are only in their 50s.However, at this moment, under the watchful eyes of the King of Chu, the faces of the three old men seemed to be dripping with water.

"What do the three clan uncles think?" King Chu said casually, playing with a piece of beautiful jade in his hand.

The three old men looked at each other, and the oldest one bowed his hands and replied: "My lord, the Sword Pool has always been controlled by our three clans. This is the order of the king. I am afraid it is not good to change the order of the ancestors... ..."

"The words of the Qu clan are wrong!" Before the king of Chu could speak, Huang Xie, the emperor of Chunshen sitting on the right, said, "Seven years ago, when Xiong An rebelled, Jianchi did nothing beforehand. Hmph, what if If you hand over the sword pool to you, I am afraid that within a few years, the sword pool will become a joke among the secret guards of the Seven Kingdoms!"

As soon as Chunshen Jun said this, the complexion of the family members of the three surnames became even uglier than before.

Seven years ago, Xiong An fled back to the state of Chu privately, and even got the support of Xiong Quan, who was in full swing in the state of Qin at that time.Based on fear of Qin and greed for power, the royal family of the three surnames secretly began planning to help Xiong An ascend the throne after receiving the benefits promised by Xiong An in private.

Originally, according to their plan, the Chu army was out, and there were only a few thousand old and weak soldiers near the capital Shouchun.It is almost a breeze to win the king city.

Unexpectedly, the king of Chu and Lord Chunshen were very wary of the royal family of the three surnames as soon as they returned from Xiong'an.Secretly, he ordered the Xiang clan fighting on the front line to withdraw their troops early.

It wasn't until the King of Chu announced in court that he accepted Wei's proposal to cede land for peace that the royal family of the three surnames realized that something was wrong.

With poor preparation, Xiong An sent troops hastily.But he was forcibly blocked outside the high city wall of Shouchun, not allowed to get close.Until Xiang You of the Xiang family rushed back to Shouchun, the rebellion was also crushed.

After the rebellion was quelled, the King of Chu, with the help of Lord Chunshen, began to wipe out those who had evil intentions in the court.In just one month, thousands of people were killed, and they were piled up into Beijing temples to serve as a warning to others.

However, although the King of Chu killed tens of thousands of people, the people behind the biggest Xiong An rebellion at the time, the royal family with three surnames who had accumulated power in Chu for hundreds of years, were still as stable as a mountain.

Until a year ago, under the call of Lord Xinling, Xiang You, the most important general of the King of Chu, led the army again and defeated Meng Ao of Qin State.The prestige of the king of Chu was greatly enhanced, and then he began to slowly weaken the power of the three royal families.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Xiong An was mostly plotted by Qin State. Although he didn't want to admit it, Qin State's Black Ice Terrace is much stronger than our Chu State's Sword Pool..." the Qu surname clan was just opening their mouths to argue.

"Hehe, since this is the case, shouldn't it be more necessary to rectify the sword pool?" A man in his 30s sitting next to Jun Shen Jun sneered coldly.

"Hmph! How dare a contemptible person speak nonsense?" Among the three clans, the clan leader of the Jing clan also retorted unceremoniously.

"You!" The man in his thirties blushed immediately, as if he would strike at the slightest disagreement.

He was born as a commoner, and he gave birth to a baby boy with the help of his younger sister. He became the queen of Chu, and he has his current status. Naturally, he is extremely disgusted by others who use his origin to mock him.

That's right, this person is Li Yuan, the elder brother of Li Yan, Queen of Chu.

"Hmph! Are you three clans so arrogant that you dare to despise the queen?" As Li Yuan's former master, Huang Xie naturally knew the thorn in Li Yuan's heart.

The previous Jing surname was about to fight back, but was pressed down by the Zhao surname next to him.Now, the three of them are weak, and it is really not appropriate to be as insolent as they used to be.

"Your Majesty, the personnel and affairs in Jianchi are complicated, and if you change hands rashly, there may be big troubles..." the Qu family said again, obviously unwilling to give up such a great power in Jianchi.

The King of Chu chuckled nonchalantly, "In that case, please ask the uncle to hand over the list of Jianchi Yiying personnel. The widow will order someone to sort it out..."

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!" The faces of the three clansmen Zhengju changed drastically, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

Among the royal families with three surnames, most of the geniuses are in the sword pond. The king of Chu already intends to take the children of the royal families with three surnames into surgery.

"Why not!" King Chu's expression changed, and the previous lazy look disappeared.A wave of majesty suddenly burst out, and it was a completely different person from before.

The three surnames were looking at each other helplessly again. After living for so long, they all understood that at this moment, the king of Chu was really going to fight the three surnames.

"Since Your Majesty has the potential to revive the Sword Pool, the ministers should support it..." Finally, the royal family of the three surnames still did not have the determination to confront the King of Chu head-on, and gave in.

"Hahaha! Well, I am very relieved that the clan uncle can think so!" The king of Chu laughed and said, "Come here, set up a banquet for the widow, and the widow will not return home without getting drunk with the three clan uncles!"

"Well..."

Following the order of the King of Chu, dozens of court ladies put all kinds of delicious wine and dishes on the table in a short while.

In the face of exquisite food and wine, the three surnames Zhengzheng is indifferent.After sitting for a long time, he left with the help of alcohol.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" As soon as the three surnames left, Huang Xie cupped his hands at the King of Chu and said.

"Hahaha!" King Chu laughed and drank the wine in his hand.

"Your Majesty, in this way, our army will have nothing to worry about!" Li Yuan arched his hands and said.

Speaking of the army going out, the king of Chu also put away the smile on his face, looked down, and the middle-aged man who had been unknown and had never said a word asked: "General Xiang, are you sure about the army going out this time?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xiang You is willing to guarantee with his life that even if we lose this battle, we will not lose the prestige of Chu!" Xiang You said very solemnly.

"That's good!" King Chu nodded, then looked at Chunshenjun Huang Xie again and asked, "Have envoys from various countries been sent out?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the documents from Zhao, Yan, Han, and Wei have all been issued a day ago!" Huang Xie nodded and said with a smile.

"Good! Good! Good!" King Chu shouted three times, obviously very excited.It seemed that once again, the grand occasion of the Chu State dominating the world appeared again.

the other side

The family members of the three surnames who had left in a hurry were sitting in the same carriage, their expressions were not good-looking.

"Is this really the way to give Jianchibai to the king?" Finally, in the carriage, the Jing surname clan with a slightly more irritable personality was speaking.

"Could it be that you want to fight hard with the king?" said Zhao family who was also in a bad mood.

"..." The Jing family was silent. Obviously, he didn't want to confront the King of Chu head-on when the King of Chu was at its most powerful.

"What do you think of Li Yuan?" the Qu family who had been silent all this time suddenly asked.

"Isn't he just a commoner?" The Jing family said with some disdain.

"Brother, what do you mean, this person will be the person sent by the king to replace my Jianchi?" Zheng Zheng, a member of the family with the surname Zhao, asked as his heart moved.

The people of the Qu surname were nodding their heads, and said: "In the main hall today, besides us and others of the three surnames, there are only Jun Shen, Xiang You, and Li Yuan."

"Xiang You has almost controlled the military power of Chu State now. No matter how much the King trusts him, he will not give Jianchi to him. Huang Xie has control of the power. The situation is similar to that of Xiang You. The King should not give him Jianchi. .”

"So, only Li Yuan is left..."

"Li Yuan is insidious and cunning. If he is in charge of Jianchi, I'm afraid my three surnames will really face disaster!" Zhao surname clan said worriedly.

"Hehe, not necessarily." The Qu family said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you mean, brother?" The Jing and Zhao clansmen asked excitedly at the same time.

"Li Yuan has always been ambitious since he was a young man. Others don't know about the prince. Don't you and I know about it?" Qu said, stroking his beard.

The eyes of the other two tribes brightened at the same time, "Brother, do you mean to threaten Li Yuan with this?"

"No..." The Qu family shook their heads, "In this way, we will only become the targets of Li Yuan, which is not in line with our interests."

"Li Yuan wants to completely control Jianchi, without the support of my three surnames, it is impossible. Besides, what do you think will happen to Li Yuan who gets Jianchi? An ambitious person will be willing to do something else after gaining power. chess piece?"

"Brother, what do you mean that Li Yuan will attack Huang Xie?" The Jing family exclaimed.

"Hehe, just wait and see. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, how will Li Yuan, the dignified uncle, deal with Mr. Chunshen..."
