Li Yanyan, the queen of Chu, was originally the sister of Li Yuan, a guest of Chu Ling Yin Chunshenjun, Li Yuan gave it to Chunshenjun in order to please Chunshenjun, and after becoming pregnant, Li Yuan proposed to encourage Chunshenjun to give it to Chu Wangwan, who had no heir.

When he was a proton in Qin, he married a woman from the Qin clan and gave birth to two people, Mi Qi and Mi Dian, but on the way back from fleeing Qin and returning to Chu to take the throne, he did not take the two with him in order to hide people's eyes, but handed them over to his sister, that is, Mrs. Huayang at that time.

On the bright side, in order to prevent being subject to the Qin State, the King of Chu did not recognize the identities of Mi Qi and Mi Dian after he ascended the throne, so the two who should have been called Xiong Qi and Xiong Dian were not named Xiong, but were called Mi Qi and Mi Dian.

It's just that King Chu didn't expect that in the next twenty years, he would not have a single heir born until Li Yanyan entered the palace.

I don't know what magic Li Yanyan has, in the second year after giving birth to the crown prince with the blood of Chunshenjun, the king of Chu pampered a palace maid and gave birth to a son.

Because his mother was only a palace maid, and the king of Chu already had an heir, he didn't like this child very much, so he named him Chengshu.

The bearer, the woodcutter who carries firewood and grass, it can be seen that the king of Chu does not like it.

Two years after the birth of the Emperor, Li Yanyan gave birth to a son for the King of Chu, named Ju, and completely stabilized the throne of the Queen of Chu.

It's just that King Chu's body is getting worse day by day.

This year, the 50-year-old King of Chu Wan had already become ill due to his hard work on state affairs, and after the defeat of the coalition army, the King of Chu was worried all night, and his condition became more and more serious, and he finally couldn't afford to get sick.

The Chu people still have a good impression of this king who once made the Chu country prosperous, and many people spontaneously prayed for the king of Chu, and even the nobles did not want the king of Chu to die of illness.

At least in the twenty-four years of the reign of King Wan of Chu, the royal family of Chu and the nobles got along quite well, and who knows if the future rulers will learn from Wu Qi to attack them like that.

Only two people were happy about it.

One of them is Chu Ling, Yin Chun, Shenjun, and Huang Xie.

As a praying mantis, Chun Shenjun knew that the crown prince was his own flesh and blood, and Li Yanyan naturally couldn't let the prince treat his biological father badly, so his Ling Yin position could continue to sit.

Not only that, the four-year-old prince is not even enlightened, and he can't read half of the big characters, how can he manage politics?

He, Ling Yin, is also his biological father, and he is definitely the one who governs on his behalf.

The power leans towards the government and the opposition, and the uncrowned king.

At that time, he will gain even greater power, no better than serving the king of Chu, who has been dissatisfied with him since the defeat of the Battle of Hezong?

As for the other, it is Li Yuan, who is a yellow finch.

Li Yuan, who has endured for several years, even if he has become a relative of Chu Wangwan, the uncle of the crown prince, and serves as the king of Chu, Yin, responsible for handling the affairs in the palace of the king of Chu, but he still keeps a low profile, and echoes Chun Shenjun in everything, as if he is still the little doorman next to Chun Shenjun.

Chun Shenjun, who has white hair, is also grateful for Li Yuan's unchanged original intention, trusts Li Yuan very much, and promises to reuse him in the future.

In this regard, Li Yuan smiled and said nothing, as if he trusted Chun Shenjun as if he trusted him.

Wang Yin's house

Li Yuan's face was gloomy, remembering the smug face when Chun Shenjun said that he would reuse him, and his heart became angry.

"You should be grateful and thanked in person, and even kneel down to him in public, so that you can better confuse him."

A cold voice came from behind Li Yuan, startling Li Yuan to hold down the long sword at his waist and almost draw his sword to kill.

But after seeing the figure dressed in the black iron armor of the Qin Army, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this is its own collaborator.

And if the other party wants to kill him, he doesn't have time to react at all.

"You're not me, you can't understand my feelings." Li Yuan seemed to remember something, and said hatefully, "But you're right, it was indeed a flaw just now, fortunately, this old thing has been immersed in joy and has forgotten itself." ”

In this regard, the sun did not comment, but asked lightly: "How is the body of King Chu?" ”

"He's dead." Li Yuan sneered, and said the news of King Chu's death in the most indifferent tone, "Before he died, he left an edict and ordered Huang Xie, the old thing, to be in charge, and I will continue to serve as Wang Yin to prevent Huang Xie from being disobedient." ”

"However, the edict was intercepted by me, and the palace of the king of Chu was also blocked."

"So, I need your cooperation."

Li Yuan turned to look at the sun, a red glint flashed in his eyes, "Three days later, I will announce the news of the death of the King of Chu, and send a trusted chamberlain to order Yin Mansion Xuanhuang to enter the palace to accept the edict of the King of Chu, I need you to ambush him at the gate of the Inner Palace!" ”

Chun Shenjun is not so easy to ambush, he is surrounded by seven first-class masters all the year round, forming a formation to fight against the master masters, plus those second-rate and third-rate realm guards, Li Yuan has no strength to ambush Chun Shenjun at all, otherwise he can put aside the net and do it alone.

"Yes, Luo Wang doesn't mind helping his collaborators, but don't forget your promise."

A blood-red light flashed across the body of the Sun-Covering Sword that he was holding tightly in his hand, and he reminded, "If you break the secret agreement with the Qin State, then you will be the next Chun Shen Jun. ”

Faced with the threat from the sun, Li Yuan didn't care so much.

It's not that the power of the net is underestimated, no one in the world dares to underestimate the power of the net, but if you can ensure that you won't fight with the net, then you really don't need to care about the threat of the net.

Li Yuan did not intend to break the secret agreement with the Qin State.

The Qin State helped him clear the obstacles and ascended to the position of Ling Yin to take charge of the government, but did not ask for the cities, land, and wealth of the Chu State, but asked the Chu State and the Qin State to maintain peace, non-aggression against each other, and not interfere in any actions of the Qin State in the Central Plains, and reopen the trade between the two countries, allow the flow of merchants between Qin and Chu, and cut the tariffs charged by the Chu State to the Qin merchants by at least half.

In this regard, Li Yuan is naturally willing to do it.

What the Qin State wanted was for the Zheng State to continue to recuperate and regain its national strength after the canal was opened, but why didn't Li Yuan want to maintain peace with the Qin State in order to better control the Chu State?

Compared to Chun Shenjun, Li Yuan did not have much prestige in the Chu State.

In the final analysis, he has just changed from a transparent person to a transparent person Wang Yin, with no military merits, no support from hundreds of schools, no allies, and no protégés.

Just liquidating the courtiers of Chun Shenjun's family after Chun Shenjun's death, and then winning over the nobles, it was enough for him to have a headache, if the Qin State sent troops to attack Chu at this moment, the consequences can be imagined.

Moreover, the reopening of trade between Qin and Chu was also of great benefit to the state of Chu.

The ban on trade between Chu and Qin certainly played a certain restrictive role in Qin, but only if Wei was not defeated, let alone moved from Emperor Qiu to Yewang.

Now that Qin and Qi are directly bordered, the lack of grain, grass, and various metal ores can be purchased from Qi, and there is not much restriction except for increasing transportation costs.

In addition, Zhao Wangyan was confused, attacked Qi to vent his anger, and pushed Qi to Qin, but Qi directly closed trade with Zhao, withdrew the Qi envoys stationed in Zhao, and completely broke off diplomatic relations with Zhao.

In addition, Qi also lowered tariffs on Qin, supported Qin merchants who came from Qin and Qi merchants who went to Qin to trade, encouraged trade between Qin and Qi, and even reduced the price of Qin merchants by 20% in some government-run workshops and shops.

Now, South Korea has asked Qin to follow the seal, and asked him to be a vassal to tear open another hole in this huge net woven around Qin.

In this way, the trade blockade of Qin by the countries became a joke, and there was no effect at all, except that the sharp drop in the commercial taxes of each country greatly reduced the revenue of its own treasury.

Therefore, Li Yuan can be said to be a great supporter of this kind of cooperation that can break the trade blockade without stepping up, and this may be his first political achievement after taking control of the government.

As for halving the tariffs...... It's nothing more than losing some tariffs, which is better than not getting a single coin, and how much of the tariffs accounted for in the commercial tax revenue brought by trade with Qin?

Chun Shenjun died, and died crisply.

Although when Xuanchun Shenjun, the chamberlain sent by Li Yuan, entered the palace to accept the edict of the King of Chu, his guest, Zhu Ying, who was born in armor, stopped Chun Shenjun.

"Your Majesty, you can't go on this trip!"

Although the armor gate is a martial arts school that cultivates to the rigidity, it is not only taught to the rigidity, but also the art of commanding the army is also within the scope of teaching, including the founder of Wei Wushu, who served as the master of the armor gate Yasheng Wu Qi's experience in leading soldiers and the essence of the art of war.

But in the armor gate, there are too few people who can get the essentials, and even most of them can't even practice even the hardest skills, and they don't have the leisure to understand the art of war left by Wu Qi.

But Zhu Ying did the opposite of the others, he put down the practice of hard skills, and instead specialized in the art of war left by Wu Qi, which can be regarded as a small success.

Although the art of war is different from politics, he always feels that Li Yuan is a scheming person, and he has a bit of a posture of showing the enemy to lure the enemy deep after being weak.

But Chun Shenjun doesn't think so.

"Li Yuan was originally a declining nobleman of the Zhao State, and it was only by taking refuge in Benjun that he could have today's status. Benjun treats him so well, he has absolutely no reason to betray Benjun. ”

"What's more, Li Yuan is gentle and humble, even if he has become a relative of the king, the uncle of the crown prince, he has never been disrespectful to me, but has become more and more respectful, how can such a sincere gentleman betray me?"

No matter how Zhu Ying persuaded him, Chun Shenjun never believed it, and decided to go to the inner room to bathe and change his clothes before entering the palace with the inner attendant.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying shook his head and sighed and left Ling Yin's mansion, preparing to flee Chu overnight and return to Wei's hometown.

I have to say that Chun Shenjun died very simply.

Although Chun Shenjun does have some unrevealed hole cards, such as in addition to the seven first-class masters who are comparable to the grandmaster in battle, there is also a grandmaster master guard, and even shot a Mingdi arrow into the sky when the two sides were fighting, summoning a palace gate guard in the palace of Chu who had already been bought by Chunshenjun.

Fortunately, the palace of Chu was tightly sealed and everyone was forbidden to enter and exit, and the secrecy of the plan was in place enough, otherwise Li Yuan's plan to ambush and kill Chun Shenjun would have been known by Chun Shenjun in advance, and then he would make a plan for it.

But the gap between the power of the net and Chun Shenjun who only brought these people into the palace is too great, and the disparity is so great that no matter what kind of hole cards Chun Shenjun has, he can't change his fate of being ambushed.

The seven first-class masters were stopped by Ba Linglong, and they used the black and white Xuanjian as the main attack, covering the sun and assisting, and killed the grandmaster guard strongly.

Before the arrival of the palace gate guard who was loyal to Chun Shenjun, Chun Shenjun's head was cut off by the black and white Xuanjian, and all the guards who accompanied him into the palace were also killed.

And Li Yuan, the king of Yin, was not slow to react, and immediately mobilized the palace forbidden army to protect him, declaring that Chun Shenjun wanted to rebel and establish himself as the king of Chu, and cooperated with the guard general Li Yingwai to kill the prince and queen.

Li Yuan's loyal and humble personality came in handy at this time, and several forbidden army captains in the palace believed his words.

As a captain of the forbidden army, he is naturally a trustworthy person of the king of Chu.

They naturally knew that King Wan of Chu had expressed his jealousy of Chun Shenjun in private many times, not to mention colluding with a palace gate guard in the palace of King Chu, what was this going to do?

If it wasn't ill-intentioned, why would you want to collude with the palace guards?

What's more, the palace gate guard was indeed in a posture of wanting to join forces with Chun Shen Jun, who entered the palace, to enter the inner palace, so the rebellion led by the palace gate guard was quickly quelled.

As for the living mouth, the crossbow arrows shot by the several killer-level net killers who followed Li Yuan would not give that person a chance to speak in front of the captains of the Wangcheng Forbidden Army, whether he knew anything or not.

And when the news of Chun Shenjun's beheading reached the ears of these royal city forbidden army guards, they believed even more in Chun Shenjun's statement that he wanted to rebel and stand on his own.

If it weren't for the intention of rebellion, how could you bring a Grandmaster into the palace in addition to the seven guards who were comparable to the Grandmaster Master in the formation and battle?

Then, Li Yuan dug up a lot of layouts that Chun Shenjun planned with him on weekdays to control the government and made them public.

When there is a lie in the middle of many truths, it is often difficult to detect that lie. Because those who tell the truth are confirmed, so that people will not doubt the truth of the lie.

With the end of Chun Shenjun, Li Yuan, as a relative of the King of Chu who was supposed to assist the crown prince in ruling the government with Chun Shenjun in the edict, naturally became the only person to be appointed after Chun Shenjun's death.

Li Yuandang, who had rightfully taken over the power of the court, fulfilled his secret agreement with Qin, signed a three-year non-aggression pact with Qin, and announced that Qin and Chu would resume trade and the two countries would resend envoys.

However, Li Yuan has added another article to these regulations that have been agreed on for a long time.

That is to hope to unite with the Qin State to take advantage of the situation to destroy Wei and carve up the Wei State.

And when Zhang Ji, who was far away in Xianyang, was called to Zhangtai Palace by Yingzheng to discuss matters, Zhang Ji, who saw these treaties, couldn't help but be a little confused.

Yes, confused.

A non-aggression pact between two great powers, a trade treaty that divides a third country between the two countries, and ......

This is to have no waves, ah no, no stomach (Wei)?
