Chapter Seventy-One: Gathering Together (Subscription Requested!)
"Stand down!"
Li Yuan retreated left and right, looked at Gu Cheng, and showed murderous expression: "What is the intention of the son's false words?"
Gu Chengdao: "Uncle Guo knows Chu State better than me, and I know if this is true, in the long run, not only will the heir of the prince of Chu become worried, the country's fortunes will decline, but also the danger of destruction!"
Li Yuan said coldly: "Isn't that in line with Qin's intentions?"
Gu Cheng shook his head: "I didn't intend to destroy the Chu State here. ”
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes: "The meaning of the prince is that Qin is not reused, and he wants to vote for me Da Chu?"
Gu Cheng still shook his head: "That's stupid." ”
This straightforward contempt and fearless appearance made Li Yuan hate it in his heart.
But in the current situation, he really doesn't dare to do anything with this Qin Gongzi, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried, and even Li Huan, who has become a queen, will be finished, and those clan princes promise to hand them over as scapegoats to calm the anger of Qiang Qin.
"I will wear and tear the cultivation, let Uncle Guo temporarily open the eyes of the sky, seeing is believing!"
The atmosphere was deadlocked, Gu Cheng smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to brush it in front of Li Yuan's eyes.
Swish!
Suddenly, a noisy flame rushed to his face, and Li Yuan was shocked to see that there was really a fire god suspended on the Fire God Temple, majestic and illuminating all over the world.
Subconsciously, he wanted to bow down, but he couldn't hold back.
"Are you afraid this is a yin-yang illusion?"
Gu Cheng knew what he was suspecting: "If you feel it carefully, you will know the truth and falsehood." ”
Li Yuan seemed to be the first time to light a fire, both yearning for light and heat, but also afraid of the burning ancient people, slowly stretched out his five fingers.
Sou!
His whole body was burned, but he showed fanaticism, crossed his hands, put them on his chest, and chanted: "The sun rises in the east, and the fire sows the mountains!"
The god of fire is the most important deity in the hearts of the Chu people.
For human beings, fire is the source of confidence and strength to conquer nature, and the Chu people regard themselves as the heirs of the god of fire.
In history, when Liu Bang rebelled and tried to ascend to the pole to claim the emperor, he proclaimed himself the Red Emperor, and Xiang Yu's army used the Red Banner, which is the same reason.
Although Li Yuan is a Zhao person, he has lived in Chu for decades, and he has long been in the countryside and customs, and he is no different from the Chu people.
But when he looked up, the light in his eyes had dissipated, and the god of fire had disappeared.
Li Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly asked: "According to the intention of the prince, is it to sacrifice to the river god and the witch, so that the six gods are balanced, and the society of Chu is long?"
"How can it be so simple and can be reversed?"
Gu Cheng waved his hand: "If you do this, you may be able to ensure that the next generation of King Chu has an heir." ”
"I advise the king!"
The current prince has long been an adult, and there are many wives and concubines, but none of them have a queen, that is related to the honor of the Li family, Li Yuan solemnly got up and bowed his hand: "The son is subtle in virtue and loyal to the house, but I misunderstood, Qin and Chu have been married for hundreds of years, and they should help each other, I don't know what the prince needs?"
It's all nonsense in the front, and only the last is the key.
"I was born with a deficiency, I fell asleep at night, I had no power to protect myself, and I couldn't cure it by yin-yang techniques. ”
Gu Cheng looked directly at Li Yuan: "I have heard for a long time that the Chu people do not respect the Zhou rites, and the ceremony of sacrificing to the gods is carried out at night, if the Yin and Yang secret method is applied, there is a chance to complete my foundation, this is what I want!"
"I see!"
Although Li Yuan didn't believe it and decided to send a guest to investigate after he went back, he was already moved.
Each has what he wants, and each takes what he needs, which is the key to ensuring the covenant, not to mention the identity of Qin Gongzi, which is simply the best talisman.
Not to mention that this can solve the problem of his nephew's heirs, if he borrows the hand of Qin Gongzi and excludes Chun Shenjun, even if there are people in the Chu State who are unhappy for Chun Shenjun, they will not dare to do anything to him because of the prestige of Great Qin.
"As a son, you will be able to return to heaven and change your life!"
Li Yuan's heart was hot, his face welled up with closeness, and his attitude changed dramatically.
"Promise your good words!"
Gu Cheng smiled: "Can I go to see King Chu now?"
"Haha! please!"
Li Yuanlang smiled and waved his hand to lead the way.
Dare to delay so much before seeing the King of Chu, his power in the palace is obviously close to covering the sky with one hand.
However, proximity is not complete control.
Since entering the palace of the king of Chu, every move of the carriage has been silently watched by a pair of eyes.
Gu Cheng Li Yuan stopped to communicate, retreated left and right, and looked at the Fire God Temple, Li Yuan was condescending in front of him, all these details fell into the eyes of a eunuch, quietly retreated, and immediately left the palace.
In less than half an hour, he entered Chun Shenjun's mansion.
At this moment, Chun Shenjun is feasting guests.
Named Ling Yin, in fact, the power of Chun Shenjun is no different from the lord of the country, the main hall of the mansion is as spacious as the palace hall, which can be attended by hundreds of guests, the case in the hall is almost all carved with fine fragrant pear wood, the floor mat is paved with brocade, ancient porcelain hanging carving, everything is available.
Looking towards the courtyard in front of it, it is suddenly open, the pavilions and pavilions and the lake and mountains reflect each other, the rockery waterfall, splashing down, like a landscape painting.
The beauty of the scenery is more beautiful, a graceful figure, the beauty of the sara covering the face from the landscape, stepping on the dance steps, to the seat in front of the knee Yingying, let the gentleman pick (xié).
In this atmosphere of singing and music, the eunuch came to an old man and whispered a message.
"Oh?"
The old man listened carefully, and quickly raised his eyebrows, revealing a solemn expression.
Among the four princes of the Warring States Period, Chun Shenjun has the largest number of customers, but most of them are strong and aggressive, extravagant and flashy, not to mention Meng Weijun and Xinling Jun, and even Pingyuan Jun can't compare to them.
But even so, there are many people, and there are always good people.
Zhu Ying is a far-sighted person, cultivating eyeliner spies, grasping the trends of all parties, following Chun Shenjun for decades, and winning deep trust.
"Your Majesty, there's news in the palace!"
At this time, he listened to the eunuch's report, got up and came to the Chunshenjun banquet, and called in a low voice.
"Huh?!"
Chun Shenjun was squinting his eyes, listening to the two singers playing the piano and singing, and when he heard the words of a spirit, his eyes widened slightly drowsy.
The three of them came to the back hall, and the eunuch repeated it again, Chun Shenjun was calm at first, but when he heard the method of prolonging life, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Go down and get your reward!"
After he finished speaking, Zhu Ying said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Li Yuan is ambitious, and he has the potential to unite with Prince Qin, so we have to guard against it!"
"They have just met, and it would be unreasonable to talk about union. ”
Chun Shenjun waved his hand, but his focus was on another place: "I heard that the Yin and Yang family is good at alchemy, do you think the secret method of prolonging life is feasible?"
Zhu Ying's face stiffened, but he also knew that Chun Shenjun had passed his prime, and his physical condition was not as good as day by day, for this Ling Yin, who had been in power for half his life, there was nothing more important than continuing to live, only to say: "Your Majesty, I have invited Mu Xuzi, the elder of the Taoist family, to come to Shouyang as a guest, and then you can ask for advice on the method of longevity!"
"What's the use of just an elder?"
Chun Shenjun was displeased: "The Taoist sect is divided into the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect, and the Heavenly Sect rarely asks about the world, but it's okay, is the head of the Human Sect so proud?"
Zhu Ying was silent.
"Taoism is unreliable. ”
Chun Shenjun flicked his sleeves: "The Yin and Yang family is separated from Taoism, and there has been a tendency to suppress it for hundreds of years, so if Qin Gongzi really has a way to prolong his life, no matter what he wants, he will be allowed!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Ying was helpless, so she had no choice but to respond, and said: "Your Excellency, Li Yuan is ruthless, and he has to guard against ......."
"After all, he is the uncle of the country, so I will give him three points!"
Chun Shenjun thought of his bloodline and became the crown prince of Chu State, his heart became hot, and he smiled: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, it is not too late to get rid of him." ”
"I'm afraid it'll be too late!"
Zhu Ying is still working hard: "Once Li Yuan gets the help of the Qin State and pulls the tiger skin to make a big banner, its momentum will be even more unstoppable, and it will be chaotic if it is constantly broken!"
Chun Shenjun was a little annoyed, and his face sank: "So what? My five sons are all princes and auxiliary ministers, and my family even controls half of the power of Great Chu, just Li Yuan, wave your hand to destroy it!"
One of the main reasons why the culture of the Chu people is so colorful is that the Chu people have annexed dozens of surrounding countries and tribes, and have integrated various cultures together.
South volume Yuan, Hunan, north around Ying, Si, west Baoba, Shu, east wrapped Tan, Huai, Ying, Ru thought to be Xun, Jiang, Han thought to be the pool, Tan to Zheng Lin, Mianzhi to Fangcheng.
This is no lie.
Some of these small states and tribes were directly destroyed, while others became vassal states of Chu and were subject to worship, just like the eight hundred princes of the Zhou Dynasty.
It stands to reason that in order to govern so many vassal states, it is necessary to have a strong central power, but the Chu people have no monarch since mourning the king and the king of Xuan, and the central government has lost the power of checks and balances, and local forces have risen from time to time.
Now these vassal states have become a burden politically, large and bloated.
Why did the state of Chu cower when it was in the vertical and horizontal together, it was precisely because many times, even the king of Chu didn't even say it, and the local forces kept dragging their feet, so the state of Chu resisted Qin for a while, and attached to Qin for a while, wavering, missing the opportunity, and it was really self-inflicted.
And Chun Shenjun had an outstanding vision, and arranged his five sons to serve as auxiliary ministers in the five most powerful vassal states early, and the whole family was even more flourishing, controlling most of the power of the Chu State, so as to ensure that his position as Ling Yin was as stable as Mount Tai.
In comparison, Li Yuan is just an upstart.
Why be afraid?
Having said this, Zhu Ying could only retreat helplessly.
When he returned to the courtyard, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became, Li Yuan was in the prime of life, and he would never be killed, so he would definitely strike first.
At that time, not to mention that Chun Shenjun's life is not guaranteed, the whole mansion is in danger of overturning.
"You are old and faint, and you are stubborn and self-serving, why should I die with him?
Just when Zhu Ying was about to retreat, the next person suddenly told him that someone was visiting.
"I have never been in contact with the farmer, and if I come to visit for no reason, I will have a plan!"
Zhu Ying's eyes flickered, and he raised his hand and said, "Please let them in!"
Not long after, a quiet and elegant girl walked into the hall with a burly and sturdy man and a prodigal man: "Peasant man Kui Tianyan, with the Kui Kui Hall Master Chen Sheng, the Siyue Hall Master Liu Ji, I have seen Zhu Lao!"
