Chapter 2 Congratulations from the Manchu Dynasty
What is the most famous thing about King Chu Huai, even a history novice knows that there are two things he is most famous for.
One is to alienate Qu Yuan, and the other is to listen to Zhang Yi's lie about cutting the land.
As soon as I thought of Zhang Yi, the memories of my predecessor immediately came flooding back.
Xiong Huai was stunned.
Because it was during the daytime today, the predecessor met with Zhang Yi, the envoy from the Qin State.
Zhang Yi is here to give gifts.
The land of business is six hundred miles.
Only the state of Chu and the state of Qi are required to break off diplomatic relations.
And the predecessor had already happily agreed, deciding to announce his great victory tomorrow at the court meeting.
"This..."
Even if he is only an amateur expert in history, Xiong Huai knows this thing.
This incident has made two people, one of whom is Zhang Yi, who is simply ingenious, deceiving the dead and not paying for his life, and the reputation of the Zongheng family has been famous for centuries.
The other is King Chu Huai, whose IQ is simply not online, and has become synonymous with stupidity, leaving a name for eternity.
The only thing Xiong Huai is fortunate about is that his predecessor has not officially sent an envoy to break off diplomatic relations with Qi State.
Once the state of Chu and the state of Qi break off their relations, then the state of Chu will inevitably embark on the wheel of history.
If this is the case, then the predecessor, no, himself, will inevitably become a stupid hat that has been stinking for thousands of years, just like King Chu Huai in history.
It's just unbearable.
At this moment, Xiong Huai made up his mind that tomorrow he would not agree to break off relations with Qi State.
As for the great poet Qu Yuan.
As soon as Xiong Huai thought of him, his predecessor's memory immediately popped up in "Lisao".
This poem, which compares King Chu Huai to a beauty, and then empathizes with other loves, is full of basic feelings.
When Xiong Huai first learned "Lisao", his heart was full of speculation about the improper relationship between Qu Yuan and King Chu Huai.
Now that he has become the king of Chu Huai, of course he knows that this is just nonsense, and his predecessor and Qu Yuan are innocent.
The relationship between Qu Yuan and his predecessor is not important now, the important thing is another thing, that is, "Lisao" has been written.
โยทยทยทโ Xiong Huai was speechless.
Xiong Huai admits that "Lisao" is very well written.
But what made Xiong Huai collapse was that this treasure-level poem, while making Qu Yuan's patriotic poet, also firmly nailed King Chu Huai to the pillar of shame in history, becoming ironclad evidence that King Chu Huai listened to slander, knew people unknowingly, and could not use people.
The predecessor also realized this problem, so he demoted Qu Yuan from the position of a leftist disciple to a doctor in Sanlu.
However, the problem is that it is useless to just belittle Qu Yuan.
"Lisao" is such an excellent epic masterpiece that has been spread all over the country and all over the country.
This reminded Xiong Huai of his own era, a very popular song in the future, the song where the boss ran away with his sister-in-law.
Now Xiong Huai feels that he has become the bastard in the song, and he is estimated to sing it until the end of the universe.
What to do?
Xiong Huai was dazed.
Before Qu Yuan wrote it, Xiong Huai still had a way to remedy it, but now that Qu Yuan has written the poem, how to take back "Lisao"?
Do you want to burn "Lisao" to pit Qu Yuan?
Xiong Huai pondered for a long time, but there was nothing he could do.
Maybe because he was too tired, while Xiong Huai was thinking, he fell asleep unconsciously.
"King, Yin Zhaoyang and the ministers have been waiting for a long time, may I ask if the king is going to discuss the matter today."
Xiong Huai opened his eyes, was woken up in a daze, and saw Zheng Sleeve, who was innumerably amorous last night, and got the memory of his predecessor, and suddenly felt that Zheng Sleeve had become a real person.
The scenes of the past came to mind, and I was stunned.
Sensing Xiong Huai's strange appearance, Zheng Sleeve smiled charmingly, there are countless beauties in the harem of Queen Chu, but she is the only one who is really favored.
Now that the king of Chu is widowed and sick, she naturally wants to satisfy the king of Chu, thinking of this, Zheng Sleeve opened his mouth and said to the eunuchs outside: "The king is sick, he will not go to court today, and he will discuss it tomorrow." โ
This kind of thing is not the first time Zheng Sleeve has encountered it, and it is extremely easy to say.
"Slow." Xiong Huai suddenly spoke, at this time he had already remembered the topic he was about to discuss today, that is, the issue of breaking off diplomatic relations with the Qi State and forming an alliance with the Qin State, this matter was the top priority of the Chu State, and it was also a major matter related to his fame through the ages, Xiong Huai did not want to delay for a moment.
Throughout the life of King Chu Huai, except for the mistrust of Zhang Yi and the expulsion of Qu Yuan, there are no other problems.
As long as he doesn't die, he will be sent to the door for Qin State to kidnap, and he will basically be rich and noble for a lifetime.
As a latecomer, Xiong Huai is a person with pursuits, even if he can't be Chu Shi Huang, don't leave a stench for 10,000 years.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai shouted to the people outside:
"Please order Yin and the ministers to wait, and the widow will come later."
"Yui." The eunuch outside the door should arrive, and then there was a sound of footsteps, from near to far, some big to small, and disappeared into the distance.
Zheng Sleeve saw that the King of Chu was slapped in the face on the spot, and he did not refute or coquettishly, but immediately got up and called out: "Come on, quickly wait for the king to change his clothes." โ
This is Zheng Sleeve's means of competing for favor, that is, he will never go against the will of the king of Chu, even if the king of Chu abandons her and empathizes with another woman, she never disobeys the king of Chu in the open.
In the past, Wei gave the King of Chu a peerless beauty, the King of Chu liked it very much, and his favor for Wei Nu exceeded that of Zheng Sleeve, but Zheng Sleeve was not angry or competing for favor on the surface, and took care of Wei Nu in all aspects, treating her better than himself, and successfully established an image in the King of Chu and Wei Nu.
As a result, when the King of Chu and Wei Nu let down their guard, she took advantage of the trust of the King of Chu and Wei Nu, and with just one sentence, she not only succeeded in regaining the favor of the King of Chu, but also cut off Wei Nu's nose.
Under the service of Zheng Sleeve, Xiong Huai got dressed and came to the main hall of the meeting under the guidance of several eunuchs, and the important ministers of the Chu State headed by Ling Yin Zhaoyang had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.
The main hall is magnificent and atmospheric, Xiong Huai walked to the top of the main hall according to his memory, and knelt down.
"Meet the King." The people saluted.
"No courtesy."
"King Xie."
When all the ministers knelt and sat down, Xiong Huai directly threw out today's main topic, "All Aiqing, yesterday Zhang Yi, the envoy of the Qin State, came to visit, and he was willing to trade six hundred miles of land in exchange for the severance of diplomatic relations between our Chu State and the Qi State, what do you Aiqing think." โ
Although Xiong Huai did not agree to 10,000 in his heart, this matter, as the most important event in the current Chu State, still had to be taken out and discussed with the ministers, and he could not decide by himself.
In addition, even if he has the memory of his predecessor, Xiong Huai wants to throw this question out to see what the ministers of Chu State think, and test the level of the ministers of Chu State, how many people have a long-term vision.
Hearing King Chu's question, the ministers led by Zhaoyang glanced at each other, and they all saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
In fact, before Zhang Yi met the king of Chu, he had already dredged up a lot of important ministers of Chu State, prescribed the right medicine, and persuaded them. At the same time, yesterday, Zhang Yi gave 600 miles of land and the price of giving the beauties of Qin to the king of Chu as concubines, in exchange for the news of the dragon face of the king of Chu, which also spread throughout Yingdu after Zhang Yi left the Chu palace.
Since the king of Chu has intentions, and everyone has no objection, so be it.
Then, the ministers in the palace straightened up neatly, bowed to the king of Chu, and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the soldiers who surrendered without a fight, without losing a penny, and obtained six hundred miles of land in business." Congratulations for the king, congratulations for the state of Chu. โ
Xiong Huai was taken aback by everyone's neat and consistent movements and voices, and when he saw that everyone had agreed to break off relations with Qi and throw themselves into the arms of Qin State, his heart was immediately full of frustration.
Since the Qin State Shang Ying changed the law, it has become stronger and stronger, and has become a superpower among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.
In order to restrain the increasingly powerful Qin State, five years ago, under the maneuver of Gongsun Yan, the six countries joined forces and attacked the Qin State together, in an attempt to weaken the Qin State.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces that time was none other than his predecessor, and the Chu State lost face in front of all countries.
And another awesome King Zhao Wuling in history, also after the First World War, learned from the pain, thinking that the gap between Zhao and Qin was too big, and the name of King Zhao was not worthy of the name, and it would only attract laughter, so he took his name of King Zhao and returned to the position of Zhao Jun.
In the past, the six countries failed to attack Qin, even if there was a reason for the disunity of the six countries, but the strength of the Qin State can also be seen, and it is far from being something that one country can confront it.
Xiong Huai mourned in his heart, none of his courtiers had a little vision, no wonder the predecessor in history and a Chu State of Nuoda would be deceived by a Zhang Yi.
