Chapter 288: The Twilight of Chu (Fifth Update)
On May 27, the 352nd year of Great Chu Zhonghe, that is, on May 27th of the first year of the new emperor of Great Yan.
A major event occurred within the Yan Kingdom, the new emperor Yan Xun, who had been on the throne for less than a year, abdicated to make way for Xian, and abolished the crown prince Yan to ascend the throne.
According to the official news, the crown prince Yan was able to ascend the throne because he proved his heart on the holy monarch's platform and won the approval of the Yan kings of the past dynasties.
But according to the news from the grapevine, before Prince Yan proved his heart on the Holy Monarch Stage, he had already united with Luan Feng, the god of war of Yan State, to lead the 50,000 Luan Feng army originally stationed on the periphery of Emperor Yan's capital to surround Emperor Yan and forcibly force Yan Xun to abdicate.
And it is said that Yan Sheng was in the Yan Emperor Capital at that time, and in the face of the forced palace of Prince Yan and the god of war Luan Feng, Yan Sheng's final choice turned out to be a bystander.
It was precisely because of Yan Sheng's bystanders that Yan Xun completely lost the opportunity to resist, so he was forced to abdicate and make way for Xian.
Obviously, for the vast number of people who eat melons, they are more inclined to the second gossip.
Throughout the ages, who would have willingly surrendered his rights? This is the king of a country, and his words can determine the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, and who is willing to give up such a great right?
The so-called Yan Xun's willingness to abdicate and make way for Xian is just a veil put up by the official to cover up the scandal of the Yan royal family.
In addition to the change of throne in the Yan State, there were also some discordant voices at the state banquet held by the Chu State.
During the state banquet, the envoys of Qin and Qi sneered at the royal family of Chu and despised the theft of their ancestors' tombs, but they still had the heart to have fun here and do this superficial work.
As the envoys of the two countries said these words at the state banquet, the news that the overlord of Chu had died and the tomb was stolen by the magical bookstore also spread throughout the Canglong Continent in an instant, and the magical bookstore became completely famous.
In the eyes of some well-intentioned people, the attitude of the envoys of Qin and Qi at the state banquet this time also made everyone can't help but speculate in their hearts.
Now the state of Chu is not as good as a year, the state of Qin is stronger than a year, and Qin Shi Huang is even more ambitious, wanting to unify the Canglong continent.
Qi is also Qin's 10,000-year-old younger brother, and in this case, the attitude of the envoys of Qin and Qi is not necessarily a bad signal.
The most surprising thing for everyone was that King Chu Heng didn't say anything about this, and didn't seem to mind that his ancestor's tomb was dug up at all.
No matter what kind of thoughts King Chu Heng had, his indifferent attitude was a fact.
In this case, the prestige of the royal family of the Chu State instantly fell to a low point.
......
"Troubled times are coming. In the office of the dean of Zhenguan Academy, Chu Sheng looked up at the sky and sighed softly.
"Teacher, why do you say that troubled times are coming?" Behind Chu Sheng, Yang Chengzhi stood there and asked suspiciously.
I haven't seen him for more than half a year, Yang Chengzhi has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the whole person has changed from the original salted fish appearance to become handsome and chic, handsome and extraordinary, especially the self-confidence exuded from his body, which added a bit of charm to him.
Today's Yang Chengzhi has become a figure of the year in Zhenguan Academy, not to mention cultivating to reach the ninth stage of Lingzong, but also being favored by Cangmang Academy, and when Cangmang Academy recruits new students after a while, he will go to Cangmang Academy to study.
The future is limitless.
Hearing Yang Chengzhi's inquiry, Chu Sheng was silent for a while and said, "Chengzhi, if your cultivation is successful when the Chu State is in danger, will you use your cultivation to help the Chu State?"
Yang Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't quite understand why Chu Sheng asked such a question, after thinking for a while, Yang Chengzhi replied: "The student is a native of Chu and is deeply cultivated by the country. ”
Chu Sheng nodded, a relieved smile appeared on his face, but then the smile disappeared again, sighed lightly, and said, "If only all the Chu State monks could think like you." ”
When Yang Chengzhi heard this, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
"Say whatever you want, it's okay. Chu Sheng didn't need to look back to know what Yang Chengzhi was doing, and said softly at the moment.
Yang Chengzhi nodded and said: "In fact, born as a native of Chu, whether it is an ordinary person or a cultivator, he has a patriotic heart in his heart. The students read a book half a year ago, it is called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", although it is about the affairs of the rivers and lakes similar to the chivalrous affairs between our cultivators, but there are also righteous ...... who stand up when the country is in danger."
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes, a book in the magical bookstore?" Chu Sheng asked with a frown.
Yang Chengzhi nodded.
You continue. Chu Sheng said gently.
In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the protagonist and many chivalrous men stood up to defend against foreign enemies when the country was in danger, but in the end they still could not prevent the collapse of the country. ”
"What do you want to express?" Chu Sheng asked with a frown.
Yang Chengzhi clasped his fists and saluted, and replied without humility or arrogance: "The country has decayed, and it is not our ability to turn the tide." ”
After Yang Chengzhi's words were finished, Chu Sheng's whole person seemed to have withered by three points, and he quietly turned his back to Yang Chengzhi and was silent.
After a long time, Chu Sheng sighed, waved his hand and said, "You go back, cultivate hard, and strive to get a good ranking in the Vast Academy Freshman Competition." ”
Yang Chengzhi nodded, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Teacher, the student is leaving." ”
Chu Sheng waved his hand, Yang Chengzhi withdrew as he said, and Chu Sheng was the only one left in the room, looking at the starry sky outside the window, his eyes full of vicissitudes revealed a little sadness.
He has lived for 3,500 years, and in this long time, he has witnessed the rise of the Chu State to its heyday, and then to its current period of decline.
That feeling is something that words can not describe.
Especially after becoming the Sage of Chu, protecting the people of a country, the deeper the sense of identity of the Sage of Chu will be; the prosperity of the Chu State, he is happy, the decline of the Chu State, he is sad; he and the State of Chu have become one.
"The country is rotten, the country is rotten!" Chu Sheng looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
"How can I save Da Chu?" Chu Sheng looked at the majestic palace, which was so solemn in the night.
Obviously, Chu Sheng did not intend to give up the Chu State just like that, he also wanted to save the twilight Chu State through his own ability.
"Alas, Qin Shi Huang is eloquent and strategic, Prince Yan loves the people like a son, King Qi Wen governs the country well, and King Zhao Kang works hard; ”
In the entire royal family, no one can afford to save the Chu State.
Thinking of this, Chu Sheng's heart instantly turned to ashes.
"No!" Suddenly, a fine light flashed in Chu Sheng's vicissitudes of life.
"There's one person, and she's sure she can!"
