It has been six months since the enthronement ceremony, Jing Ran knows his identity, and it can be seen from the hasty ceremony that his existence is just a tiger skin used by Jingyu.

"At the enthronement ceremony, I didn't even go to the ancestral temple of the first king."

Of course, he will not go to worship the ancestral temple, the current Da Chu is Jingyu's final say, and he has no relationship with the ancestors of Da Chu.

It's also strange to say that since the end of the ceremony, Jing Yu has never seen him in the palace again.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The one who spoke was a little eunuch sent by Zhongxingyue, named Baoyu, who was about the same age as Jing Ran, and he could come to Jingran's side not because of how loyal he was to Zhongxingyue, but because he had no backstage and couldn't go to a place with a lot of oil and water, a place like Chai Tansi, which was full of oil and water, had long been controlled by Zhongxingyue's godsons, and he was a little eunuch who had just entered the palace, and he went out to do miscellaneous labor, and he came here.

The new king of the Great Chu State was unwilling to come even for ordinary eunuchs.

"yes, got it."

Jing Ran looked at this round-faced and honest little eunuch, and also knew some rumors in the palace, he was like the Chai Tan Division here.

"What's the news out there lately?" Jing Ran asked.

"Back to the king, the slave is just a little eunuch and doesn't know anything."

Baoyu replied, "I just heard from them that the rebels in the south and Qin, Qi, and Zhao discussed coming to fight, saying that they were under the banner of saving the king. ”

"Got it, thanks." Jing Ran knew that the surrounding big countries were unwilling to watch the civil strife, so it would be good not to cause trouble, where could they still come to help, but General Jing Hao in the south should have some reaction.

Great Chu State, Southern Capital.

Since the death of Emperor Mingguang, the state of Chu was in turmoil, Jingyu in the north occupied the royal capital, and robbed the eldest son and grandson of Emperor Mingguang, that is, Jingran father and son. The Zunwang faction led by Jing Hao fought against it, and after the defeat, they retreated to the southern capital, also known as the Chu State, and the Great Chu State was officially divided.

"General, news has come from the ruined city that the first king has been killed."

Although the ending was already known, Jing Hao and many officials left behind in Nandu did not expect that Jing Yu's movements would be so fast.

"What about the eldest grandson?"

Jing Hao asked anxiously, "Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson?"

"The eldest grandson has ascended the throne, and the Jingyu thief still doesn't dare to do anything to the eldest grandson, he is from a low background, his name is not right, and he is not self-reliant."

Hearing the spy say this, Jing Hao's heart relaxed a little.

"General, the envoy of Northern Zhao has arrived, do you want to see it?"

"Okay, please."

The envoys of Northern Zhao had already arrived in the southern capital three months ago, and he knew that sooner or later there would be a war between the north and the south of Great Chu, and the military strength of Northern Zhao was second only to Great Chu among the major powers, so the north and south would definitely have something for themselves, and they chose Southern Chu after weighing the pros and cons.

"Northern Zhao came to envoy Zhao Meng to meet the general,"

As he spoke, an eight-foot-tall general dressed in a military uniform had already entered the door.

"Ah, it turned out to be General Zhao Meng, please hurry up."

Jing Hao said happily, "A few years ago, I met General Zhao Meng in the Palace of the Son of Heaven, and I hit it off at first sight, but I didn't expect to meet in the southern capital today, hahaha." ”

"Brother Jing Hao, don't come unharmed, I heard that there is some chaos in your country, and my King Zhao specially sent me to discuss with the general to help the general."

"The ugly thing of the family, annoying your country, really...

The two chatted and chatted, and the ministers all knew that Bei Zhao had agreed to help them, but there was no free lunch in the world, and their conditions should not be too low.

"Our country wants to control the land of the Son of Heaven."

Zhao Meng narrowed his eyes, stared at Jing Hao, and suddenly said, "The king of my family said that he has long wanted to support the Son of Heaven and go through the way of the ministers. ”

"What!"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, the Son of Heaven in Zhongzhou was originally the co-lord of the world, and then the princes rose up, and the Son of Heaven became a puppet, although it did not help his country economically and militarily, but if any country had the Son of Heaven, it occupied the political commanding heights in this world of great contention, the reason why Emperor Mingguang, the first king of Great Chu, could command the world, was called "Emperor", out of the million heroes of the Great Chu State, it was he who mastered the big toy of the Son of Heaven with strong military strength.

When Emperor Mingguang was alive, he launched wars against neighboring countries in the name of "respecting the Son of Heaven" many times, and even the Qin State, known as the "Western Hegemony", was defeated by the armies of the three eastern countries led by Emperor Mingguang many times because of this name. At this time, Bei Zhao suddenly asked to give up the Son of Heaven to them, and the intention was obvious.

"The general is cautious," the ministers said.

"By the way, according to the report from my country's spies, Western Qin has already begun to contact in the north." Zhao Meng saw that the officials in Nanchu had a lot of opinions, and they didn't seem to want to hand over the Son of Heaven, so they had to drop a bombshell.

"Western Qin has gathered forces and marched towards the Qin-Chu border."

Jing Hao was suddenly shocked in his heart, the army of the Western Qin State has always been strong, if the Northern Chu and the Western Qin are really united, the Great Chu State will be the real disaster. And Northern Zhao also borders Great Chu and Western Qin, and is close to Northern Chu, only those who are found to join can balance their strength, and completely let go of their hands and feet to compete with Jingyu rebels. In this way, this day is not so important.

Jing Hao was pacing and thinking in the main hall, when a sudden sound came from outside the main hall, "Report!" The Western Qin army has been stationed in the ruined city! ”

Zhao Meng didn't speak, and looked at the ministers in this hall lightly, what a hero Emperor Mingguang was, and the country he left behind actually became like this.

"Good! I promise you, after the matter is completed, the land of the Son of Heaven in Gyeonggi will be ceded to Dazhao! ”

"Hey"

The ministers of the full hall also sighed, they knew that the hegemony of the Great Chu State was officially over from today.

"Okay, I can repair the book in the country, and my army of the Great Zhao State will garrison the Zhao-Qin border to help you!"

"That's right, thank you."

At the same time, Jing Yu in the Imperial City of Northern Chu took Jing Ran to negotiate with Western Qin.

In fact, Jing Ran knew, and the envoy of Western Qin also knew that it didn't matter who the king of Chu was in the seat, because what he said didn't count at all, and the person who really said it was Wang Jingyu, the general of Northern Chu.

The envoys of Western Qin had a calm face, and this time they finally came to beg us.

"To make a long story short, the king of my family originally wanted the Son of Heaven."

After hearing this, Jing Yu's face suddenly showed a trace of murderous aura, but it was soon gone, this time he had asked Qin Guo, and all the conditions were not open with them.

The envoy of Western Qin looked at Jing Yu, whose face changed, and felt funny in his heart, this yin owl guy also has a time when he is deflated.

The king of Western Qin is not a fool, he knows that he is a branch of Xirong and does not belong to the main branch of Zhongzhou, even if he wants this son of heaven, it is useless, but he will cause a commotion, so he simply broke off this idea, and still wants something practical.

"The king of my family originally wanted the Son of Heaven, but after thinking about it, this Son of Heaven is of no use to my Daqin, but instead eats and drinks and wastes food, so I don't think about it."

"And what does your king want?" Jing Yu said in a gloomy voice, today was his most embarrassing day, and he was actually ridiculed by a small messenger in disguise.

"Six hundred miles west of the Great Chu Country!"

"What!" At this time, Jing Yu lowered his head and thought about it, but Jing Ran, who had no real power, suddenly called out.

"Xiqin has a really big appetite, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is six hundred miles west of the river, and the envoy knows that six hundred miles west of the river is the land of my great Chu, and the grain produced can feed you the entire Xiqin!" Jingyu was also shocked, and replied,

"Six hundred miles west of Hexi, there is my Great Chu Jinyang County, Shangdang County, just the population can make me more than 100,000 people with armor in Great Chu, and it is not a problem to destroy your Western Qin!"

Jing Ran angrily reprimanded the envoy of Western Qin, but this time Jing Yu actually did not speak, that is, their opinions were the same on this matter.

"The messenger should go back."

The envoy of Western Qin looked at the two of them leisurely, and knew that they did not agree, and they were not hopeful. The only way to do this is to fight for more benefits.

"The general Wang Ke has thought clearly, if you don't give it to me, others can give it to me!" Yes, he is talking about Jing Hao, and he is talking about Nan Chu.

"Huh?" Jing Yu frowned, he knew that Xi Qin would not joke, but he also knew that Nan Chu would not agree to this condition.

"Then you can try it."

"I, Daqin, want to go to the party county! This is the bottom line, if the Great General King does not agree, forgive me for the fact that Great Qin and your Chu State will have a bad relationship in the future. ”

"No way!" Jing Ran called.

"Come on, send the king back to the palace!"

As he spoke, Zhongxing pushed the door in and made a gesture of please, "King, please." ”

"It's done!"

The messenger smiled inwardly.

And at this time, Jing Ran had also been sent back to the dormitory.

Jing Yu looked at the envoy of Xiqin coldly, and really wanted to cut this person with a knife, and the envoy was also furious in his heart, he really moved to kill.

"Okay, send the messenger out of the palace." After Jing Yu finished speaking, he took the lead out of the palace gate, he really wanted to kill people.

"Hehe, I'll go back and arrange it immediately."

The envoy did not dare to stop, and strode out of the imperial city.

The land of Zhongzhou has once again ushered in war after Emperor Mingguang suppressed it by force for thirty years.
