In order to prevent Qi and Zhao from plotting against Yan, King Yan paid a bribe to Su Dai in Qi, and then ceded two hundred miles of land in the south to Qi as an apology for Yan Guo's attack on Zhongshan before. Moreover, King Yan also sent Guo Kui to the State of Qi to pay tribute to the King of Qi.

On the side of Qi State, under the persuasion of Su Dai, King Qi agreed to King Yan's request. Now, Qi and Yan have officially made peace, and King Yan is a vassal to King Qi. ”

Xiong Huai couldn't help frowning when he heard the news.

Previously, the Chu State made great efforts to rescue the Yan State, just to let the Yan State hold on behind the Qi State and involve part of the Qi State's strength. As a result, as soon as the two countries of Qi and Zhao got married, King Yan was directly instigated, not only as a minister, but also directly sent out two hundred miles of land.

Where did King Yan do this, he knew that King Yan would do this, why did Chu State rescue Yan State, why did he want to harm Qi State for Yan State.

However, although King Yan is not authentic, the Yan Kingdom is too far away after all, and the Chu State is helpless.

And the State of Qi is the predictable threat of the State of Chu.

Now that the state of Qi has subdued the state of Yan and has become an ally with the two states of Zhao and Wei, there is also a state of Qin in the distance to help.

In this way, the pressure on the future Chu State is extremely great.

Fortunately, Chu still has an ally of Korea, and not long ago, the prince of Song was sent back to Shangqiu and expelled the Qi people Tian Buli, and the Song State will not defect to the Qi State in a short time.

If this is not the case, I am afraid that the Qi State will be entangled with all countries and the war Chu is just around the corner.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai suddenly sighed, and then sighed in his heart: The Chu State, which is still strong on the outside, has actually fallen into weakness, internal and external troubles, and the country is in difficulty.

After a pause, Chen Zhen saw that after the King of Chu digested the news, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, there is also a news from the Ejun that in order to thank the Chu army for the rescue before, the King of Yan plans to dedicate a hundred-mile-sized pasture in western Liaoning to the king as Tang Muyi. However, King Yan took into account the two countries of Qi and Zhao and did not dare to offer the land openly, so King Yan hoped to be the king of Hue as the king of Guyang, and the land of a hundred miles south of Gushan was used as a fief. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then nodded and said: "It's really difficult to be the king of Yan, the king of a country, he doesn't even dare to offer the land directly, and he has to beat around the bush like this, it can be seen that the situation in the Yan country is so difficult." In this way, what else can the widow be harsh on!

summoned to Ejun, saying that the widow promised him to be the king of Yan Guyang, and expressed his greetings to King Yan on behalf of the widow. Also, tell Ejun that everything is fine in the country, so that Ejun doesn't have to worry about the country. ”

"Yui!" Chen Zhen nodded.

······

With the passage of time, soon, the funeral of the queen and Jingcui had been held for five months, and it was time for the official burial.

On the day of the funeral of the Southern Queen, Xiong Huai did not come forward, but let the prince Heng preside over everything.

When one of the elderly couples dies, the other party does not appear at the scene on the day of the funeral.

It's not that as soon as the other party dies, the old feelings will disappear completely. In fact, I was worried that the feelings were too deep, and I saw the other party leave at the time of the funeral, thinking that this was a farewell, and I was grief-stricken, and the worst thing was that the living passed out in grief at the scene, which not only delayed the auspicious time of the deceased, but also affected my children, relatives and friends.

Xiong Huai, as the king of Chu, is an example for the Chu people, although he had the intention to send the queen, but in the end he chose not to come forward.

Although coming forward can reflect the deep love between husband and wife, the people will only praise the King of Chu for his love and righteousness, but if the people follow suit... In case those who are weak can not stand the blow, and when they are excited, they will die when they are excited, this is the fault of his King of Chu.

I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.

As the king of Chu, he naturally had to be restrained and not act rashly.

This is probably the so-called great virtue and immorality.

At this time, Xiong Huai sat sadly in his bedroom, listening to the mournful music from the front hall, remembering his past with Nanhou, and his heart was full of sadness.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying outside, and soon, the crying gradually became quieter.

Xiong Huai knew that it was not that the cry was getting smaller, but that the cry was going away.

"Is the queen gone?"

"Back to the king, it's the auspicious time for the funeral."

"It's time!" Xiong Huai replied softly.

Then, after a while, the mourning in my ears gradually became smaller.

At this time, Xiong Huai panicked, if he died, he couldn't help but walk out of the dormitory, and then walked through the front hall, came to the palace wall, and watched the funeral procession go away.

The team drifted away and soon disappeared into the distance, but Xiong Huai stood at the head of the wall and did not move for a long time.

"King, please also mourn, the situation in the Chu State has changed greatly, and the war is about to break out, at this moment, the Chu State can never do without the king, and please take care of the king."

The voice came suddenly, and it was somewhat familiar, which made Xiong Huai slightly startled.

Who would dare to disturb him when he was thinking of the queen?

Then, Xiong Huai turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, but saw a man dressed as a palace guard not far away.

When he straightened up, it was slippery.

"General Zhao, why didn't Xianqing go to see off the queen." Xiong Huai suppressed the anger in his heart and asked strangely.

As a member of the Zhao family, Zhao should be in the team to see him off.

"Back to the king, now the minister is no longer a general, but the chief of the palace, and there is no title, according to the regulations, the minister is not qualified to see off the queen."

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was assassinated not long ago, and Zhao Hua was affected, not only was he removed from his position as a general, but even his title was deprived.

Without a knighthood, his status is naturally low, and he will naturally not be able to see off the queen for such a major event.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai nodded first, and the anger in his heart also dissipated at this moment, paused, and looked at Zhao Hua strangely and said, "How could the general be in the palace." ”

When Zhao Slip heard this, he showed a hint of shame: "Slip should have obeyed the king's order and meditated on his own mistakes at home. However, slippery every time he thought that because of his own sake, he would be involved with the king, and slippery would be unable to escape the blame for his death, so he decided to guard the palace gate and protect the king for the king in the future to atone for his sins. So he asked Zuo Yin and did what he did. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and then he found that he had spoken to Zhao Hua, and as soon as his attention was diverted, the worry in his heart was slightly relieved.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai sighed: "General, the widow is upset at the moment, the general and the widow should go." ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai was in front and Zhao was behind, and he walked on the palace wall.

"The general just said that the situation in Chu has changed dramatically, and it is about to erupt, can the widow ask why?"

"Back to the king, the previous minister heard that the Yan State ceded land to the Qi State and surrendered to the Qi State. The surrender of the Yan State, this is the beginning of the crisis of my Chu State.

For example, if all countries rise up today, among them, our Chu country is the strongest, especially after the king destroyed Yue, this situation is even more obvious. The Qi-Wei Alliance, the Qi-Qin marriage, the Qi-Zhao marriage, and so on, are all aimed at restricting our Chu State.

Now that the new king of Qi has ascended the throne, he has broken the main force of the Yan army, and has obtained 200 miles of Yan land and 150 miles of Zhao land, which has greatly increased the national strength and prestige.

And the land cession of Yan and Zhao all shows that Qi has been relieved of its worries. At this point, the countries adjacent to the Qi State, the Yan State submitted, the Zhao and Wei states allied with the Qi State, the Lu State and other countries were vassal states of the Qi State, and the Song State remained neutral.

Once the king of Qi stabilized the state and planned to use troops abroad, then the direction of Qi's troops was only two countries, one was the powerful Chu state, and the other was the neutral Song state.

If the king of Qi is not confused, then the king of Qi will definitely bring the power of the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Zhao to force the king of Song, and then unite the countries to attack the state of Chu in order to gain the supremacy.

Therefore, the minister saw that the king was very sad, so he opened his mouth to persuade him. At this time of crisis, please also take care of your health, and do not make a sad transition. ”
