Chu State Yingdu

The state of Chu is adjacent to the royal family Yunguo, is a very strong among the princes, before the Yunwu Emperor Ye Qingyu, there have been several lords of the Holy Ming, expanding the territory, training a team known as the world's first foot soldier Chu spearmen, there is a momentum of hegemony. In the campaign against Emperor Yunwu, the state of Chu sent 20,000 troops, and was the leader of the alliance of the princes. I don't think that Emperor Wu was brave, led the royal forbidden army to defeat the coalition army under the Xiongguan, and the Chu State ceded the land and relatives, paid tribute every year, and the strength was damaged, but after all, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Chu State still retained a strong force.

The contemporary lord of the Chu State, Jiang Yan stood in front of the first palace of the Yingdu Kingdom, staring deeply at the civil and military officials standing at the bottom of the stairs.

It has been 20 years since the state of Chu turned from prosperity to decline, the previous generation of the lord Jiang Chengye was like his ancestors, shrewd and capable, and decisive, he wanted to take advantage of the power of the princes to carve up the royal land, but he met Ye Qingyu, a famous male general who was rare in a hundred generations, and the heroic attempt to dominate the industry was ruined, and he ended up with hatred in the next few years, this hatred was like a scar deeply imprinted in the heart of the Chu Jiang clan, until now, Jiang Yan still remembered his father's gloomy eyes and face sitting in front of this seat from time to time, The unwilling eyes seemed to be staring at Jiang Yan through the long river of time.

"Honglu Temple, Zheng Wu" Jiang Zhenxiong's voice resounded in the main hall, like a thunderclap, and the ministers couldn't help lowering their heads again.

"The minister is here." A middle-aged man with a long beard and a white face flashed out of the audience.

"Accept 30,000 taels of gold from the Ye clan of Yunguo, and hand over my country's border defense map to the enemy. Immediately sent to the execution ground and beheaded. Jiang Yan gave an order expressionlessly, and guards on both sides immediately stepped forward to pull the middle-aged man away, but the middle-aged man didn't say a word, only his face was like ashes.

"General Huaihua, Dai Zhongqi, surrender without a fight, be willing to do the fine work of Yunguo, and immediately cut it in half."

"General Guide, Xu Qihui ......"

"Huangmen Squire, Xie Yu"

"Imperial History, Chengsu"

……

In just a quarter of an hour, four people have been cut in half, six have been imprisoned, and more than a dozen have been dismissed.

"Everyone under the ranks, some of these people are civil officials of the second and third grades, and some are Wuzhu countries with tens of millions of troops, but they are incorruptible and shameless, they don't know that twenty years ago, my Chu State Xuanwei Hehe, only know that today's royal family is like a dark cloud overhead, shrouded in the head of Chu State, they don't understand why the first king died of depression, they don't know why the lonely king is diligent in government, I don't know why every household in my Chu country is not afraid of fighting to the death, confused!" Jiang Yan's voice turned from low to high, then sad and angry, and finally his face was gloomy, as if he was overwhelmed with sadness.

"You are all the people of my Great Chu, you all grew up in the land of Great Chu, and you all hold my Great Chu's Yulu, but you are not all loyal to your homeland, you touch your conscience and think about it, my enemy of Great Chu is not outside the temple, but inside the temple, not the Ye clan of Yunguo, but the hearts of everyone present today!" Jiang Yan seemed to have regained his spirits, his eyes were shining, and his eyes seemed to pass through the layers of buildings in Yingdu, spreading to every inch of Dachu's territory.

"Today's punishment of the ministers who collaborated with the enemy and treason, just because my Chu State has been suppressed by the Yun State for 20 years, and in the past 20 years, one-third of the taxes of my Chu State have flowed into the Ye clan of the Yun State every year, these people actually go to get close to my enemies of Great Chu, even if they are spared, the subjects of Great Chu will never spare them, from today onwards, my Great Chu will wash away the shame of the past, and the royal family will either exempt me from the taxes of Great Chu, or bear the anger of Great Chu for 20 years." After that, Jiang Yan turned his head and brushed his sleeves away, leaving the ministers trembling and looking at each other, except for a few people in the know, no one would have thought that there would be such a thunderous court meeting today, and they would tear their faces with Yun Guo so quickly.

It was obviously midsummer outside the palace of Yingdu, but it was clearly a little cool.

Cloud Country, Ping'an City, East Palace

"In the past few months, has there been any change in the Jade Palace?" Ye Yunlan held the book and asked as he paced.

"In the past few months, Young Master Ye has been feeding carrier pigeons, but his subordinates led people to check the carrier pigeons, monitored day and night, and did not find any news coming out." The man dressed in black disappeared in the shadows, cautiously replying.

"There's no need to check, he keeps pigeons just for you to check, he must have other channels to pass on the news. What a cunning man, keep a close eye on your surroundings and leave the pigeons alone. Ye Yunlan put down the scroll and looked in the direction of the Jade Palace.

Shuyu Palace, Ye Nan's bedroom

A man slowly crawled out from under the bed, holding only a letter sealed with fire paint.

"The young master's guess is correct, our carrier pigeons are being watched day and night, but they should not have imagined for a moment that we have dug a tunnel leading to the distance. The shadow of the state of Chu has sent a letter. The butler-like man smiled and handed over the envelope. The shadow is the spy agency of the Southern Tang Dynasty, like the night owl of the Cloud Kingdom, it is not subordinate to any department and is only responsible to the lord of the country, and he had taken over this agency before Ye Nan left Wanzhou.

"Ye Yunlan is a person like a fox, if you want to think about his mind, just think about what I will do, it seems that similar people are easy to know and difficult to get along with after all. Don't keep carrier pigeons in another half a month, it is estimated that he should also notice that carrier pigeons are hiding people's ears," Ye Nan took the letter, and after opening the seal, his smile gradually froze.

There was only one line in the letter:

"The State of Chu will move" in which the verbs are blurred and illegible, and they were obviously written in a hurry. In fact, the person who wrote the letter is probably no longer alive, just to pass on the news as soon as possible.

"It's finally begun." Ye Nan muttered in a low voice.
