Chapter 128: Out of the East (7)

The palace of the king of Chu

Xiong Wangao, the king of Chu, sat on the throne, and his ruddy face was full of a playful look. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At the bottom, three old men sit on the left side in turn. They were already in their sixties, but they looked like they were only in their fifties. It's just that at this time, under the gaze of King Chu, the faces of the three old men seemed to be dripping.

"What do the three clan uncles think?" The king of Chu played with a piece of beautiful jade in his hand and said casually.

The three old men glanced at each other, and the eldest of them replied, "My lord, the sword pool has always been in the hands of my three clans, and this has always been the order of the king. Tampering with the orders of the ancestors is probably not good......"

"The Qu clan is just saying this!" Without waiting for the King of Chu to speak, Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, who was sitting on the right side, said: "Seven years ago, Xiong An rebelled, and Jian Chi actually did nothing in advance, hum, if Jian Chi is handed over to you and others again, I'm afraid that in a few years, Jian Chi will become a joke among the secret guards of the Seven Kingdoms!" ”

As soon as Chun Shenjun said this, the faces of the three surnamed clan Zheng became even more ugly than before.

Seven years ago, Xiong An fled back to Chu without permission, and was supported by Xiong Quan, who was in the Qin State at that time. The three royal families were afraid of the Qin State and greedy for power, and after receiving the benefits promised by Xiong An in private, they secretly began to plot to help Xiong An ascend to the throne.

Originally, according to their plan, the army of Chu was outside, and there were only a few thousand old and weak soldiers near the national capital Shouchun. Taking the royal city is almost a breeze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the King of Chu and Chun Shenjun returned from Xiong'an, they were full of vigilance against the three royal families. Secretly, he ordered the Xiang clan who were fighting on the front line to withdraw their troops in advance.

It wasn't until the king of Chu suddenly announced his acceptance of Wei's opinion of ceding land and suing for peace in the court, that the three royal families realized that something was wrong.

Poorly prepared, Xiong An hurriedly sent troops. But it was forcibly blocked outside the high city wall of Shouchun, and it was not possible to get close. Until Xiang You, the Xiang clan, rushed back to Shouchun, and the rebellion was destroyed.

After quelling the rebellion, the king of Chu, with the help of Chun Shenjun, began to purge the court of those with bad intentions. Raiding the family and exterminating the clan, in just one month, killed 10,000 people and piled up into a Jingguan to set an example.

However, although the king of Chu killed 10,000 people, the people behind the biggest Xiong'an rebellion at the beginning, the three royal families who had accumulated power in the Chu State for hundreds of years, were still as stable as a mountain.

Until a year ago, Xiang You, the most important general of the King of Chu, led his troops again under the call of Xinling Jun and defeated the Qin State. The prestige of the King of Chu's power was greatly enhanced, and only then did he slowly begin to weaken the power of the three surnamed royal families.

"Great King, Xiong'an's affairs are most likely planned by the Qin State. Although I don't want to admit it, the Black Ice Platform of the Qin State is much stronger than the Sword Pool of my Chu State......" The Qu clan was opening his mouth to argue.

"Hehe, in that case, isn't it even more important to rectify the sword pool?" A man in his thirties sitting next to Chun Shenjun sneered coldly.

"Humph! Contemptible people dare to make a big statement? Among the three clans, the clan of the Jing clan also fought back unceremoniously.

"You!" The man in his thirties suddenly blushed, and he had the posture of moving his hands without saying a word.

He was born as a commoner, and after giving birth to a baby boy by his sister and becoming the king of Chu, he had his current status, so he naturally resented others ridiculing him with his background.

That's right, this person is the brother of Li Yan, the current queen of Chu, Li Yuan.

"Humph! Have you three tribes been arrogant enough to dare to defy the queen? As Li Yuan's former master, Huang Xie naturally knew the thorn in Li Yuan's heart.

The previous Jing clan was about to fight back, but was pressed by the Zhao clan next to him. Now, the three of them are weak, and it is really not appropriate to be as arrogant as before.

"King, in the sword pool, the personnel and things are complicated, and I am afraid that something big will happen if it changes hands rashly......," the Qu clan said again, obviously unwilling to give up such a big authority as the sword pool.

King Chu smiled indifferently, "Since that's the case, let's ask the clan uncle to hand over the list of Jianchi's personnel." The ...... that the widow will order someone to sort out"

"King! Never! The faces of the three clansmen changed drastically, and they all exclaimed.

Among the three surnamed royal families, most of the geniuses are in the sword pool, and the king of Chu already wants to take those children of the three surnamed royal families.

"Why not!" King Chu's expression changed, and his previous lazy appearance disappeared. A majestic momentum suddenly burst out, and it was like two people before.

The three surnamed clans were looking at each other helplessly again, they had lived for so long and they all understood that at this moment, the king of Chu was afraid that he was really going to fight with the three surnamed royal clans.

"Since the king has the potential to revive the sword pool, the ministers should support ......" Finally, the three royal families still did not have the determination to fight hard with the king of Chu, and relented.

"Hahaha! Well, Uncle Clan can think like this, and the widow is very relieved! The king of Chu laughed and said, "Come on, set up a banquet for the widow, and the widow will not get drunk with the three clan uncles!" ”

"......"

With the order of the King of Chu, dozens of palace maids, and after a while, all kinds of rich wine and food were put on the table.

In the face of exquisite wine and food, the three surnames are the same as chewing wax. I didn't sit for long, and then I left with the strength of the wine.

"Congratulations to the King! Congratulations to the King! As soon as the three surnamed clans left, Huang Xie arched his hand at the King of Chu and said.

"Hahaha!" The king of Chu laughed and drank the wine in his hand.

"King, in this way, my army will have no worries when it goes out!" Li Yuan arched his hand and said.

Speaking of the army, the king of Chu also put away the smile on his face, looked at the bottom, the middle-aged man who had been unknown and had never said a word asked: "General Xiang, can you be sure that the army will go out this time?" ”

"Don't worry, the king is willing to guarantee with his life, even if he doesn't win this battle, he won't lose the prestige of my Chu country!" Xiang You said very solemnly.

"That's it!" King Chu nodded, then looked at Chunshenjun Huang Xie again and asked, "Have the envoys of various countries been sent?" ”

"Don't worry, the king's documents of the five kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Yan, Han, and Wei have all been sent out one day ago!" Huang Xie nodded and said with a smile.

"Good! Good! Good! The King of Chu shouted three times, obviously extremely excited. It seems that the top pomp and circumstance of the Chu State dominating the world in the past has resurfaced in front of him.

The other side

The three surnamed clans who left with gray ash were sitting in the same carriage, and their faces were not good-looking.

"Is it really like this to give Jian Chi Bai to the king?" Finally, in the carriage, the Jing clan, who was a little impatient, was speaking.

"Could it be that you want to fight the king?" The Zhao family, who was also in a bad mood, said.

"......" The Jing clan was silent, obviously, he didn't want to fight with the king of Chu when he was at his peak.

"Li Yuan, what do you think?" The Qu clan, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

"Aren't you just a commoner?" The Jing clan said with some disdain.

"Brother means that this person will be the person sent by the Great King to replace my sword pool?" The Zhao clan moved in his heart and asked.

The Qu family nodded and said, "On the main hall today, in addition to the people with the three surnames such as us, there are only three people with the surname Chun Shenjun, Xiang You, and Li Yuan. ”

"Xiang You has almost mastered the military power of Chu now, and no matter how much the king trusts him, he will not hand over the sword pool to him. Huang Xie has taken power, and the situation is similar to Xiang You, and the king should not give him the sword pool. ”

"In this way, Li Yuan is left alone......"

"Li Yuan is sinister and cunning, if he is in charge of the sword pool, I'm afraid my third surname is really going to face a big disaster!" The Zhao clan said worriedly.

"Hehe, not necessarily." Qu Zheng smiled and said.

"Oh? What does my brother mean? The Jing and Zhao clans asked excitedly at the same time.

"Li Yuan is very ambitious. The prince's affairs are not clear to others, aren't you and I still unclear? Qu clan is rubbing his beard and said.

The eyes of the other two clans lit up at the same time, "What does the elder mean, to threaten Li Yuan?" ”

"No......" Qu Zheng shook his head, "In this way, we will only become the target of Li Yuan's removal, which is not in line with our interests." ”

"Li Yuan wants to completely control the sword pool, it is impossible without the support of my three surnames. Moreover, what do you think will happen to Li Yuan who gets the Sword Pond? Will an ambitious person, after gaining power, be willing to be another pawn? ”

"Brother means that Li Yuan will do something to Huang Xie?" The Jing clan exclaimed.

"Hehe, wait and see. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, how will Li Yuan, the dignified uncle, deal with Chunshenjun......"
