343 Yun Mengze
As soon as he asked this, the court meeting was quiet for a moment.
Old Zhaoju?
If it weren't for that, the ministers would almost have forgotten about that person!
That's what politics is like β fierce and brutal. Any trace of the loser will be quickly erased, fading out of everyone's sight at breakneck speed.
After King Chu Huai awarded Xiong Wu Liangping the Southern Sword, the open and secret battle between Zhaoju and Quyang Hou had obviously been defeated...... The ministers had long been accustomed to such changes, and had tacitly not mentioned Zhaoju's name for several months.
Just as after Qu Yuan fell out of favor and stepped down, the original Qu Yuan's party quickly fell apart - Zhao Ju's name was quickly abandoned by these ministers of Chu in just a few months.
"Lao Ling Yin is sick in bed, and he hasn't had a meeting for several months!" A minister reported.
"It's also - there are young and promising talents like the Marquis of Quyang, and old ministers like Lao Zhaoju should also stay in the mansion to retire!"
"I'm Da Chu, it's enough to have Quyang Hou!"
"Compared with Quyang Hou, Zhaoju is like a firefly compared to Haoyue! The sunset is compared to the morning glow! β
β¦β¦
Another rainbow fart, which made Xiong Wuliang's scalp tingle.
Looking at these old faces smiling like chrysanthemums in front of them, it was hard to imagine that just a few months ago, these people were still standing with Zhao Ju and slandering Xiong Wuliang to the fullest.
Xiong Wuliang sighed, feeling a little regretful for a while.
Old Zhaoju, why are you cowardly?
In fact, he quite hopes that Zhao Ju will continue to dance!
It just so happened that after Xiong Wuliang held the Pingnan Sword in his hand, he hadn't tried the power of this sword yet...... I don't know what the consequences will be if I use this sword to slaughter that old man of Zhaoju?
Pity...... Pity......
This old Zhaoju was lying dormant in the mansion and couldn't get out, and he didn't give Xiong Wuliang a chance to find fault at all, even if he wanted to try his sword with Zhaoju, he couldn't do it...... You can't rush to someone's mansion and slaughter that guy without saying anything, right?
The impact is too bad!
Xiong Wuliang is a good boy who grew up under the red flag of the new era, and he will never do that kind of thing to ruin his reputation......
The court meeting ended in a warm atmosphere, and King Chu Huai had already left the hall happily, but the ministers were reluctant to disperse for a long time, and gathered around Xiong Wuliang to desperately show their loyalty......
β¦β¦
Yun Mengze.
This place is extremely vast, with a circumference of 450 kilometers, and has always been the favorite hunting ground of the nobles of Chu State, and the world-famous rivers and lakes.
Thousands of years later, due to the sediment deposition of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the scope of Yunmengze gradually decreased, until the Tang and Song dynasties, when it completely disintegrated into many small lakes dotted with stars...... But at this moment, Yunmengze is still a giant like the vast sea.
King Chu Huai invited the monarchs of all countries to come to the alliance, and the location was set on the north bank of Yunmengze!
Xiong Wuliang put his hand on the pergola, looked at it from afar, and couldn't help but praise: "What a Yunmengze!" If the sun and the moon are out of it, the stars are brilliant if they are out of it......"
The accompanying ministers praised together: "Good poetry! Good sentence! β
"Quyang Hou is talented!"
"Not only is martial arts world-famous, but there is such a superb literary talent!"
ββ¦β¦β
Xiong Wuliang was full of black lines, and decided to shut up and not give these sycophants a chance to pick up the stubble.
It is said that this is the first time Xiong Wuliang has seen Yun Mengze, and he can't help but be deeply shocked by this piece of Daze...... As far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight. The clouds are shrouded in mist and the waves are roaring...... The east is still raining, and the west is actually summer......
It's really a wonder of the world!
Xiong Wuliang was ordered to preside over the ceremony of the Alliance, so he naturally had to come to the location of the Alliance to survey the terrain first...... There is a 'Cloud Palace' here, which is a palace built here by a certain ancestor of the Chu State.
There were two or three thousand people in this trip - in addition to Xiong Wuliang's eight hundred pro-military camps, there were also many ministers and ministers of the Chu State, and they also brought their own guards and even family members, and accompanied them in a mighty way.
The cars in front and behind are lined up in a long line, the flags are unfurled into clouds, and the young son and the handsome lady of the clan chant poems against each other, which is simply a lively social event.
In this way, the speed of progress is naturally not fast - Xiong Wuliang is also helpless. It was obviously a simple survey, but I didn't think that the news would leak out, which attracted the Manchu ministers to accompany him...... It seems that if anyone doesn't come, they will be hated by Xiong Wuliang......
Speechless!
Xiong Wuliang also found it difficult to use military orders to ask for such a huge summer camp tour team full of nobles and ministers, so he could only be patient and take it slowly - the short distance from Yingdu to Yunmengze of more than 100 miles actually took two or three days.
"Ahead is the Cloud Palace." The scout rider galloped over and reported to Xiong Wuliang's bronze chariot.
Xiong Wuliang nodded and ordered, "Enter the Cloud Palace." β
It is said that the monarchs of the five countries are about to gather in Yunmengze, so naturally they can't let these noble VIPs sleep in the open.
This cloud palace is the best camp.
From a distance, the palace is not resplendent - most of the materials are made of ordinary stone and wood, and although the workmanship is quite detailed, the specifications are not high.
On both sides of the Cloud Palace, there was a dense forest, this forest was obviously very old, the tallest branches were already taller than the palace, and the leaves rustled in the wind.
Xiong Wuliang led everyone aroundβthe highest palace was divided into three floors, and there were many small houses around it, forming a posture of arch guards.
These small houses were supposed to be places for the next to live.
Xiong Wuliang pondered for a moment, and asked people to take the map, and sketched some lines on the map in three strokes: "Recruit people nearby and expand the Cloud Palace." β
"All the houses on the periphery of the main palace were torn down and replaced with houses of the same size."
"A circle of camp walls should be built on the periphery to protect the safety of the Cloud Palace."
"Finally, outside the camp wall, a large enough camp should also be left - the monarchs of the five countries gathered in Yunmengze, and there must be a lot of entourage, so we must leave enough space for them to camp."
"The fire prevention work must be done well, and all the useless woods on the periphery must be cleared - it will obstruct the view of the sentinels." Xiong Wuliang said.
Yun Mengze is not far from Ying, there shouldn't be any thieves who don't have long eyes who dare to make trouble here...... But the six-nation alliance is of great significance, and it is really not to be sloppy.
Xiong Wuliang decided - he would rather be noisy and the grass and trees than make the slightest mistake.
The accompanying craftsmen immediately dispersed and began to explore the terrain and prepare to build and expand the Cloud Palace.
It is estimated that there are still more than twenty days to go, and the monarchs of the five countries will arrive in Yunmengze.
Time is tight, the task is heavy!
Fortunately, the amount of work assigned by the Marquis of Quyang is not too large - if it is according to the original intention of the King of Chu, it is to build a large area of new palaces around Yunmengze...... That's not necessarily the end of it.
Thanks to the persuasion of the Marquis of Quyang, he dispelled the idea of the King of Chu to work hard and lose money-
