Chapter 52: Bird Feather Crown
Once this kind of thing happens, then his Gongsun Yan will definitely not be able to get along in the Chu State.
This is also the reason why the people of the Mo family came to ask to see him just now, but Gongsun Yan avoided it.
You must know that the current Mo family giant is the minister of King Qin Huiwen.
Thinking of this, Gongsun Yan once again expressed doubts about the correctness of his Chu State and his party.
To be honest, a very xenophobic Chu State is not a good choice, if it weren't for Zhao Sliding recommending it to him, and he could directly meet Ling Yin Zhaoyang, Gongsun Yan would prefer to choose the open Qi State in his heart.
Now that Zhaoyang is dead, the balance in Gongsun Yan's heart is once again tilted towards the Qi State.
"Your Majesty." Gongsun Yan's doorman Zhong Wu walked in with a puzzled face, with an expression of wanting to say something.
Gongsun Yan was lost in thought and didn't notice Zhong Wu's expression.
"How's it going?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"Back to the king, according to the king's explanation, I have notified the officials of the state of Chu Dengdi. What happened on the street today was just a misunderstanding, and the king no longer intended to hold that Mo family disciple responsible. ”
"What do the officials of the Chu State say?"
"Your Majesty, the leader of Deng Di of Chu State, after learning what the monarch meant, he has already released that Mo family disciple."
"Well, it's very good, we have just arrived in Chu State, and we can't make friends with the Mo family in Chu State."
After Gongsun Yan and Zhong Wu finished speaking, seeing that Zhong Wu stayed where he was and did not leave, he said curiously: "Zhong Wu, we have been friends for many years, if you have any questions, just say it, don't talk about it." ”
Zhong Wu sneered: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are spitting down, but that a big and rare thing happened in the Chu State, and the ministers don't know how to talk to the king." ”
Gongsun Yan was stunned after hearing this, glanced at Zhong Wu curiously, and said with a smile: "Rare? How rare is it, is there anything more serious about the affairs of Chu now than the death of Yin Zhaoyang? ”
Zhong Wu nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, that's right, I just came back from outside, along the way, the people of Chu have been talking about a lot of things, there are two things, Yin Zhaoyang's death is only one of them, and the other thing is hotly discussed above Zhaoyang's death." ”
"Ao, what's the matter, could it be that the State of Qin has betrayed its word and sent troops to attack the State of Chu." When Gongsun Yan heard that this was such a heated discussion, he immediately became excited.
"Back to the monarch, Qin Chu has not yet fought, but another matter. The hot discussion among the people of Chu is that the king of Chu proposed to abolish corporal punishment at the Chu court meeting yesterday, declaring that he wanted..."
Zhong Wu will tell the news he heard on the road.
Gongsun Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked again with confirmation: "Are you saying that the King of Chu decided to abolish the flesh punishment because of Wei Meiren?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, now the people of Chu are saying that the feelings of the King of Chu for Wei Meiren exceed the feelings of King Zhou You for Bao Xi, and for thousands of years, no one's feelings have exceeded the feelings of the King of Chu for Wei Meiren."
Gongsun Yan showed a look of joy and said: "Waste meat punishment, waste is good, I have been hesitant to change the route to Qi or continue to Yingdu, but now the King of Chu has made up his mind for me." ”
Seeing Gongsun Yan's expression, Zhong Wu was surprised: "Your Majesty, have you decided to go to Yingdu?" ”
Gongsun Yan smiled: "Yes, I already plan to go to Chu State." ”
Zhong Wu said curiously: "Does the king think that the king of Chu is a benevolent monarch worthy of assistance?" ”
"It's not like that, I don't know if the King of Chu is Renjun or not, and it doesn't matter to me either, but I know that the attitude of the King of Chu towards Wei Meiren is extremely beneficial to the Chu-Wei Alliance." Gongsun Yan paused and continued: "Now that the Wei State wants to form an alliance with the Chu State, and the King of Chu abolishes the corporal punishment that has been passed down for thousands of years for the sake of the Wei Meiren, if this news reaches the Wei State, what do you think, what will the King of Wei think!" ”
Zhong Wu suddenly realized that this was the reason that Gongsun Yan was thinking.
Indeed, it doesn't matter what kind of person the king of Chu is, at least not to Gongsun Yan.
In the more than ten years since the King of Chu ascended the throne, the State of Chu has basically maintained a relatively strong posture, and is not as confused as the second monarch Wei Hui King who Gongsun Yan took refuge in.
Since Gongsun Yan can take refuge in the confused King Wei Hui, then now he has no psychological pressure to take refuge in this King of Chu, who has always been more virtuous.
Gongsun Yan only asked that the king of Chu could fight against the Qin state.
As for the matter of King Chu and Wei Meiren, what will King Wei think?
Zhong Wu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the King of Wei, the King of Chu's feelings for Wei Meiren will only convey one attitude, then the King of Chu's proximity to Wei Meiren is close to Wei State, and if he has a good impression of Wei Meiren, that is, he has a good impression of Wei State." ”
Gongsun Yan nodded: "Yes, for King Wei, it is enough to have this attitude." ”
If the state of Chu and the state of Wei are on good terms, it will be a great good thing for Gongsun Yan.
There is a great opportunity to use the power of the State of Chu to return to the State of Wei.
At this time, the rhino head was still interested in the Wei State, and only planned to help each other with the Chu State.
This is the reason why he immediately decided to continue his journey to Yingdu after hearing about the King of Chu and Wei Meiren.
With a decision in his heart, Gongsun Yan began to think about the next way out.
How should the king of Chu be persuaded to form an alliance with the Wei state, and it will not break the overall situation of the attack.
Gongsun Yan immediately remembered Wei Meiren.
Maybe that's a breakthrough.
Mohism.
Just as Ku Shu and Tsuya were discussing the visit to the distinguished guest, there was a commotion outside.
In the midst of their doubts, a doorman came to say: "Sir, Senior Brother Deng Ling is back." ”
"Xiaoguang is back!" Asked in surprise.
"Yes, sir."
Bitter and Toothy immediately got up from the ground and walked outside.
When he walked to the gate, he saw a young man with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, wearing a black power suit, and carrying a long sword, surrounded by the crowd, walked over.
"Student Deng Lingguang, meeting the two gentlemen, it is the fault of the light to worry about the two gentlemen." Deng Lingguang walked in front of the bitter tooth and bowed.
He helped Deng Lingguang up and said happily: "It's good to be able to return safely." It's just Xiaoguang, why can you come back so quickly? ”
"Back to Mr. Hui, I listened to Si Defeat's careful saying, the noble man who had the accident sent someone to explain where Si Defeat, and I will not be held responsible."
Ku Shu said thoughtfully: "Ao, it seems that although this noble man has not seen our Mo family, he is not hostile to our Mo family." ”
"Senior brother, in that case, should we continue to visit that nobleman?"
Ku Shu shook his head and said, "No need, since that noble man is unwilling to see our Mo family, he must have some hardships and need to hide his identity." ”
"Okay, since Xiaoguang is back, then let's go to Yingdu immediately to attend Ling Yin Zhaoyang's funeral."
The news of Zhaoyang's death and the abolition of the flesh punishment of the king of Chu reached the Song Kingdom.
Zhuangzi, who was far away in the Song Kingdom, was saying goodbye to a man with two bird feathers in his hat.
