The state of Chu has entered the rainy season, and the rain in the sky is like silk. The pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info are slippery and greasy, and they seem to have a trace of moisture on people's faces. Like clouds and fog, not to mention how comfortable it is. The only thing that is annoying is when the rain doesn't stop. There is no sun from morning to night, which makes Changping Jun, who grew up in Guanzhong, very unhappy.

He doesn't like this melancholy rain, and prefers the violent rain in Guanzhong. Raindrops the size of beans can make a pit in the arid loess, and sometimes smoke. One side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, perhaps the character of the people in Guanzhong who is as anxious as a fire is also related to the violent rain. Unlike the State of Chu, both men and women are soft. I really hate those princes of Chu who look like the bean sprouts of the Yun family, and they are all weak. Where is like the nobles of the Qin State, in addition to being tough, he is also fucking tough.

In front of him is such a prince of the Chu State, or his half-brother. Looking at his weak little body, Changpingjun didn't like this person. For his words, there was no sound to hear. In his mouth, he tasted tea that was said to have been picked by a virgin, and it was clear and slightly bitter but had an endless aftertaste. In this pesky wet country, maybe this thing is the only thing that can make a difference.

"Big brother, you are the eldest brother. Now Li Yuan is in power, harming the country's society. He only knows about blind pleasure, but he doesn't know how to reorganize his armament to deal with the Qin people who are like tigers and wolves. You once worked as a minister in the Qin State, and you know the greedy nature of the Qin people better than your younger brother. If there was no Northwest Cloud Key to contain it, I am afraid that I would have rushed out of Wuguan long ago and killed Shouchun. He was earnest, and he very much hoped that the eldest brother would help him. If you want the coup to succeed, you will definitely not be able to rely on those families raised in your own house.

Changping Jun's eyes widened all of a sudden, and his head, which had just been drowsy by the negative pulling, immediately became clear. What is this kid going to do? Rebel? Looking closely at the younger brother in front of him, he doesn't seem to be a guy with such big ambitions. "Brother Xian means that brother doesn't understand, we are brothers, and my father has passed away. What else do you and my brother have to say? Changping Jun put down the teacup and his face became solemn, he wanted to hear this younger brother say the word rebellion with his own ears. As long as he dares to speak out, Changpingjun is ready to help him. Chu people don't have much blood, and it is very rare to have such a person.

"Elder brother, now the king is our younger brother. A child who doesn't know how to govern the country at all. The state affairs are all controlled by the uncle of the country, Yin Li Yuan, and Li Yuan does not have a day of revival except for the Chu State. My brother wants to ask my brother to help me get rid of this traitor for my Chu country, Qingjun's side! After the deed was accomplished, the younger brother was willing to co-regent with the elder brother. Make sure that I am in the middle of the Chu country! After speaking, he made a killing gesture with great momentum, showing his determination.

The little hope that Changping Jun had just sprung up burst like a soap bubble in an instant. If you want to rebel, just say it clearly, what else is Qingjun's side. In this regard, even Chang Yu is not as good. It's good that fake eunuch who dares to openly shout the slogan of usurpation. As a dignified prince of the Chu State, you don't have the courage to say it, which is really contemptible. Such a person leads the Chu State, and he keeps saying that he wants to protect the prosperity of the Chu State. I'm afraid that in a few years, it will be destroyed by the Qin State.

"Do you want to clear the king's side?" Changpingjun looked at the negative road with interest.

"Exactly, I hope my brother will help you!" He stood up and respectfully gave Changping Jun a deep salute.

"Okay, I'll help you!" Changping Jun's heart suddenly turned around, and after being silent for a while, he agreed.

"Thank you, brother!" He was excited, as long as he had the support of 50,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Changping Jun. This coup d'état will easily achieve its goal. As for dividing the power of Chu State after the fact, it can be regarded as some kind of unpleasant gas. It is impossible to divide the power in the middle, but it is feasible to divide the head of Changping Jun in the middle. After all, Changpingjun is the eldest son of King Kaoli. In terms of blood qualifications, he is more qualified to inherit the throne than him. Although he has a shallow foundation in the government and opposition of the Chu State, it is better to get rid of this kind of troubles as soon as possible.

"The virtuous brother is also for the sake of the Jiangshan Society of Great Chu, and the days of his brother's return from the Qin State are still short. I don't know the root of many things, and in the future, the state affairs of Chu State will have to worry about the virtuous brothers. As for the matter of regency, Brother Xian still don't mention it again. Changping Jun sneered in his heart, but there was an expression of a humble gentleman on his face. Speaking of honey-bellied swords, I have seen a lot of them in the Qin Kingdom, but it is the first time I have seen such a hypocrisy as Gongzi. Since you want to play, then Lao Tzu will give you a big ticket to play. Isn't it just fooling each other? Well, just play with you!

Flickered away, Changping Jun sat behind the desk and meditated. It seems that the fate of the Chu State still has to be controlled by itself. This matter still needs to be notified to the second brother and aunt, if he controls the Chu State. In the future, Chang Wenjun and Empress Xiao's uprising in Bashu echoed, and there was a threat of cloud keys in the north of Great Qin. In the east, there is a newly occupied territory in the east that has not yet stabilized, and it is difficult to have a huge Chu state. Coupled with the granary Bashu rebellion, even if you have the heart to unify China, I am afraid you are powerless. has been in the Qin State for many years, and has been the prime minister of the Qin State, and it is still clear how many families Changping Jun has in the Qin State.

Three days later, there was the 60-day sacrifice after the death of King Chu You, which was the most solemn memorial ceremony before the 100-day sacrifice. The Chu people believed that sixty days after a person's death was a cycle. Only when the soul is sixty days old will it truly leave the body and go to another world, under the jurisdiction of immortals such as Hades. As the king of Great Chu, the king of Chu not only had warriors to be buried at the Sixty Days Festival. To protect the safety of the way to the underworld, there will be no less than 100 boys and girls and beautiful palace maids to be buried. What you enjoy when you are alive, you will naturally enjoy it when you go to another world after death.

The 60-day festival is the day when the promise is made. For the key object of care, how could Li Yuan relax his surveillance. Although it was extremely secret to go to Xiang Yanfu and Changping Jun. But Li Yuan had already planted eyeliner beside the negative, and he knew the actions of the negative soldier well.

However, Li Yuan was not worried about this guy, first, Xiang Yan did not move, and he did not summon any generals in the army after seeing him. did not send a message to any generals in the army, in fact, Xiang Yan did not go out for three days, and honestly kept a good courtier of filial piety at home.

Second, Changpingjun did not move. As a city warden, he was still loyal to his duty. For the forbidden army, which does not belong to his sphere of influence, he is not bothered to meddle at all. His army was only responsible for maintaining order in Shouchun City, and had no intention of taking further action at all.

Third, Li Yuan controls a strong army of the Chu army, that is, the elite forbidden army among the elite of the Chu army. This forbidden army of 5,000 people was selected from among the hundreds of thousands of Chu troops. Although it was a bit miserable to lose in front of Cloud Key back then, it was also something that could not be helped. Even Qin Jun, who is known as a tiger wolf, didn't he get a favor with Yun Key?

The most important thing is that Li Yuan has confidence in this guy who has low eyes. He has placed more than a dozen eyeliners beside him, and he has not noticed it for so many years. There were two of them, and they were still the advisors he relied on very much. He often consulted with them on important matters. There are such two humanoid bugs, are you still afraid that this negative will make flowers in private?

The sacrificial ceremony was held as scheduled, and the forbidden army was dressed in armor bought at a high price from the Yun family. or standing on the palace wall with a halberd, or standing on both sides of the royal road like nails. In short, the main roads leading to the palace were heavily guarded by the forbidden army. If there is no Li Yuan, not a single mouse will want to go in. In other words, without Li Yuan's words. Don't even want to run out of the palace with a mouse, Li Yuan has lost patience with this guy. Today, he's going to be in public. Kill the minus, the name is very simple. Xiong Han, the king of Chu You in another world, hopes to be protected by his brother, or the king of Chu You gives his uncle a dream. He misses his brother very much, and hopes that this brother will go down there to accompany him.

As for why Tuomeng didn't let his uncle protect him, this was not within the scope of Li Yuan's calculations. The guy who dared to ask such a question, Li Yuan didn't mind that King Chu You also missed him. This matter must be done in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the royal family, and see who dares to oppose them in the future. Childe is like a baby!

Everything is ready, just waiting for the negative to drill in. When the sky was dark, the clan and courtiers rushed into the palace of the king of Chu. Among them are Xiang Yan, Gongzi Cheng, and Changping Jun! Li Yuan, who was standing at the gate of the palace, saw the fish in these nets coming in one by one, and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Although for various reasons, he couldn't kill Changping Jun and Xiang Yan. But today, Childe must die.

Because it was the sacrificial gift of King Xiong of Chuyou, the courtiers and clans all had solemn expressions. There is no such thing as a bustling vegetable market before the Korean meeting in the past. The purple ribbons on the ministers' hats were replaced with white, and the scene was even more white shadows fluttering with white curtains.

Xiang Yan walked in front of the mouth of the military generals in plain clothes, and not far behind him was Changping Jun. Walking in the ranks of the clan, he has no official position, but his status is still ranked extremely high.

The high priest on the altar writhed and jumped wildly, and beside him were nine men, nine women, and eighteen boys and girls. None of these boys and girls were more than six years old, and they were all born in pink and jade, and they wore festive red shirts, and they were so pitiful to look at them that they wanted to go up and pinch their little faces.

The high priest danced for an hour as if he were in a convulsion, perhaps tired from jumping. His hands suddenly opened, and he opened his mouth and yelled at God like a cow. Facing the rising sun, a human tragedy began.

I saw a group of priests in tall hats pouring out, and they held down the children who were crying "wow" and "wow". Shove a funnel into their little mouths, despite the struggles of the little ones. A bucket of mercury reflecting the demonic red in the sunlight poured into it.

The courtiers and clans below were not surprised, it was not uncommon for people to die in the Chu State. Xiong is the king, albeit young. But they can also enjoy the treatment of the king, nine virgins and nine virgins. It is the ritual that the king should enjoy, not only Xiong Han, but also his Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's Lao Tzu is like this.

The scene on the altar was so terrible that mercury had to be poured into it while one was still alive. Otherwise, after death, it will not be able to follow the flow of blood to all corners of the human body. Only when mercury is transmitted to all corners will the corpses of these children not decay for thousands of years. They were all to be put in the coffin, and how could they serve the king when they were rotten into a pile of bones.

The little hands struggled, but then they were held down by the priests. The sound of "whimpering" came one after another with the chaotic faintness. Eventually, the little hands stopped swinging. A pair of small feet stopped struggling. The children did not move, and the priests took advantage of the fact that their bodies were still weak. Position them in a kneeling position and hold them in place with steel needles.

Li Yuan quietly watched the sacrifices perform, and after a while, the son would follow in their footsteps. Become an offering outside the coffin! Usually the prince is martyred, and in any case, a queen-level A-shaped tomb must be given. But Li Yuan doesn't plan to give his son a burden, and people who look like babies don't need face.

As the oldest surviving royal family, King Kaolie's younger brother Xiong Huan began to recite the memorial text. The sacrificial text is very long, telling the life of King Chu You. In fact, he really didn't have anything to say in his life, he became a king a few days after he turned one year old, and he hung up before he became an adult. According to the algorithm of later generations, it belongs to the guy who has not graduated from elementary school. Whatever you say, it's an untimely death!

But it's such a thing, which makes the scholars and doctors of Chu State praise it as a flower. After Yao Shun, this King of Chu You can be regarded as a real Ming Jun. If you want to say that cultural people don't have a face, ghosts and gods will tremble! A sycophant article is after singing praises and saying hello to heaven and earth. Finish the shooting! It's just a ritual, and no one really takes it seriously!

"Ministers!" As soon as Xiong Huan stepped off the altar, Li Yuan walked up. Looking at the stunned scholars below, the royal family said.

"Yesterday evening, the king dreamed of it. said that he missed his son very much, and said that when he was a child, it was his son who led him to play. In Hades, the king has no one to protect him. He remembered that his brother could protect him from the bullying of those mountain spirits and ghosts.

After discussing with the Queen Mother, although the king has servants and soldiers underground. But without the protection of an elder brother, as a Chu person, the king must not be humiliated. So, under and the Queen Mother decided. Give the son a burden and bury the first king! to solve ......"

Before Li Yuan's words fell, his head immediately crashed. As for what Li Yuan said later, he didn't hear it at all. I just saw Li Yuan's mouth open and closed, so poisonous Li Yuan! If you hadn't prepared for it today, I'm afraid I'd have been poisoned by you.

"Li Yuan thief!" I couldn't bear it anymore, and the "poof" came out at once. (To be continued.) )
