Chapter 40: The Succession of the Throne of the State of Chu

Heaven is a good reincarnation, and he was killed by his son one day, but fortunately, he is not as stupid as his old father Chu Chengwang! Even if Shang Chen's body becomes as fragile as a porcelain piece, he will not be so confused that he can't see the situation clearly. Gongzi buys off ministers in the court and actively shows his talents on major occasions; In the past few years, he has recruited troops and horses behind his back, cultivated his own army, and today he saw great changes in the palace, and his life was short, and the bear couple still sat firmly on the throne of the prince, and the prince was ready to move, and the troops were deployed outside the palace walls, and these merchants and ministers knew it. When Gongzi re-entered the palace, Gongzizhong's soldiers were all annihilated by the ambushed Chu army. Hey, if it weren't for the fact that Shangchen had experienced the murder of his father back then, and he didn't believe that the so-called flesh and blood were dissolved in blood, how could he have seen everything and saved his own life.

If it is said that killing the father is for the merchant himself, then killing the son is for the hegemony of Xiong Lu and the Chu State. Although he has a deep grudge with his old father King Chu Cheng, it is undeniable that King Chu Cheng has a good vision, among many sons, King Chu Cheng loves bear couples the most, it is not unreasonable, bear couples are smart, benevolent, strong, brave, and they are indeed the best candidates for the throne of Chu. Although Shang Chen disdained Xiong Lu's kindness and kindness, he still had expectations for him in his heart, looking forward to this son being better than the blue, and how to govern the Chu State with a benevolent heart. As for the disguise of the bear couple, the merchant can see it clearly, and he does not debunk it on the surface, but he knows it all in his heart. Xiong Lu studied in the secret room and underground palace at night, pretended to be stupid during the day, secretly practiced martial arts, pretended to be unruly and deceived those political enemies, so as to make the other party relax his vigilance, and he even acted better than Shang Chen, which is enough to prove the depth of his city and forbearance, if he is allowed to inherit the throne, Shang Chen can rest assured.

Shang Chen put away his thoughtful gaze, and turned his eyes to look at Juan Renyou, which was a sharper gaze than threatening Gongzizhong, and everywhere he looked, it seemed that he would be dissolved, and Juan Renyou intuitively felt that he was dying. Could it be that all these years of trickling people have been dormant, secretly communicating with the Dou family, and the merchants and ministers know it?

The answer is: the merchant is clear.

"You, you know why I spoil you so much, not just because you are good-looking, but because of your betrayal." Although Shang Chen was physically weak, he understood that he had to deal with everything today, because he had no tomorrow.

His trembling hand lifted Juan Renyou's smooth chin as usual: "What a beautiful man, why did you betray me......" Shang Chen's hoarse voice trembled with his body: "Taishi, reward him for the funeral." The merchant burst out with a terrible devilish laugh.

"No, my lord." Pan Chong replied calmly.

"Nope! No! No! King, I have not betrayed, you allow slaves to explain! ”

Explain, what is there to explain, Shang Chen was able to become the king of Chu, not only because of his ruthlessness, but also because of his excellent political foresight and insight, no one can escape his eyes, he can keep Juan Renyou to live for a while, just because he wants to leave more wrong information to the Dou family.

"Nope! No! Juan Renyou struggled to be put into a black burlap bag, and in order to prevent him from breaking free, he was killed alive. At this point, his white and flawless, flesh-and-blood body was put into the solemn and cold tomb along with the coffin of the merchant minister, and buried it layer by layer with sand.

On this day, the king of Chu and the merchant died. Perhaps he was so brutal and ruthless that many people were terrified; Perhaps many lost their lives at his hands; Maybe he's not a good father...... But during his reign, there were almost no wrong decisions, he reigned for twelve years, destroyed three kingdoms and descended five kingdoms, even the murder of his father did not affect his reputation. It was he who laid the hegemony of the Chu State and allowed the Chu State to stand side by side with the Central Plains powers. As far as the state of Chu is concerned, he is righteous and righteous, affectionate and good-looking, and is called Mu, so his nickname is King Chu Mu.

Xiong didn't think that his father saw him so thoroughly, and he never seemed to understand his father. Originally, I thought that my father might not pass on the throne to me, but I didn't expect my father to specially summon him before leaving, leaving the last trace of strength to say: "Son, Chu Guojiao, handover, handed over to you, if you are ...... If you don't let the Chu State dominate, don't enter the temple if you die! ”

"Father! Father! The bear couple burst into tears, holding back the tears and not falling: "Son, remember! We will live up to your expectations! Father! Father......

Xiong Lu looked at Shang Chen, looking at his bulging eyes as he spoke hard. At this moment, the firmness of the merchant minister, his expectations, his persistence, and his seriousness...... Forever frozen in this moment, he did not blink, as if he was reluctant to restrain him and release him from the power at the same time, and at this moment, his mission ended here.

"Your Majesty, the first king never thought of abolishing you, in his heart, you are the next King of Chu." Taishi said earnestly.

"I believe it." Xiong Lu nodded and replied, when he and his father trusted each other, his father left, and his heart ached, and he had to wait until Yin and Yang were separated before they could really be a father and son.

"Persuade Jun Mo to go up, there are five thunder gods in the upper realm, Lei Gongshan will sit in the clouds, and the soul will tremble at the sight. Persuade Jun Mo to go down, there are ten Yan Jun of the underworld, the bull head and horse face are black and mournful, and the living people are fried in oil when they see it. Persuade the king not to go to the east, there is a Yaksha spirit ...... in the east, "The wizard is dressed in crimson robes, wears a lotus crown, and sings with a magic tool to summon the soul of King Chumu and the merchants, and warns the soul of King Chumu of the dangers of the unknown world, it is better for the soul to return to his hometown: "The soul returns!" How far is it? The Soul Returns! Anti-home! ”

The funeral is over, the bear couple inherits the throne, and the play he is going to play has just begun. The camp above the court, he has a general understanding: the Ruo Ao family is divided into the Dou clan and the Cheng clan. Among them, the Dou family is the most arrogant, Sima Douyuejiao, Lian Yin Doucheng, and the right Taifu Douke...... They hold military power, as well as other important powers, which are deeply entrenched in the power network; If the other branch of the Ao clan is not easy to provoke, Yin Cheng's heart will die, his younger brother Cheng Jia will become the new Ling Yin, plus their father Cheng Dechen, the family has a father and son three as Ling Yin, although it is to restrain the Dou clan to support the Cheng family and the Pan family, but over time, it has also become a hidden danger; The Cheng clan is better controlled than the Cheng clan of the Dou clan, because of the defeat of the battle of Chengpu, Cheng Dechen committed suicide, and Ling Yin was succeeded by the Cheng Lu Chen, but he was strongly opposed by the Ruo Ao family and died after less than a year in office, leaving behind a smart son, Gongzheng Zhan Jia...... In addition to these family forces, there are also the Bo clan, the Qu clan, the Lao clan, the Xiong clan (the royal clan), the Yang clan, the Shen Shu clan, the Shen clan, the He clan, the Shen clan, and the Guan clan...... The official positions of these families have not changed like when King Chu Mu was there, and King Chu Mu could still suppress them when he was there, but as soon as he died, the bear couple might not be able to use them, if you want Chu to have earth-shattering changes, you must first have your own powerful courtiers.
