Chu He smiled faintly, the wind was light, and with a wave of his hand, the remaining dozen or so boxes were opened at the same time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A small opening in the roof of the White Deer Hall shone sunlight, shining on the crystal glass beads, refracting a rainbow of light.

Beautiful jade, pearls, glass, all kinds of gorgeous utensils, piled together, even if everyone knows that it is fake, it is inevitable that there will be some fluctuations in their hearts, not to mention Ji Gui, the poor king.

Xue Qijiang also looked at Chu He in surprise, he didn't expect that Chu He would be so willing to take out so many treasures to bribe Zhou Wang Jigui.

These dozen boxes of jewelry and jade are not much, the Chu State has always been rich, and any small family with a little climate can make up such a dozen boxes. But that's just a full load, and in terms of quality, it's nowhere near it.

Ji Gui was like a hyena going back and forth between several large boxes, wanting to reach out and touch it, but he was afraid that it was an illusion, and if he touched it, he would be disillusioned.

Syllable!

Chu He closed the box.

Immediately afterwards, many Chu soldiers also closed the remaining boxes.

The green light in Ji Gui's eyes began to redden, staring at Chu He, waiting for Chu He's next step.

I'm afraid that if Chu He says 'don't give it' now, Ji Gui dares to go directly to the knife, and he doesn't care about any decency.

"This son is here, and there are two things that I ask the king to agree. Chu He said.

"But please, everyone agrees!" Ji Gui hurriedly said. As if I was afraid that it would be too late, the babies who were seductive in front of me would all grow wings and fly.

Chu He said with a smile on his face: "First, I beg the king to give me an edict to succeed to the throne as the king of Chu. ”

"Edict?" Ji Gui was stunned.

To be reasonable, the succession of the monarchs of the vassal states really needs to be recognized by the suzerainty of the king of Zhou, but with the decline of the Zhou royal family, this right has gradually become a superficial effort.

Generally, the newly succeeded monarch of the vassal states sent someone to inform the king of Zhou, and the matter was completed. There is no need for an edict at all.

On the contrary, the king of Zhou often took the initiative to send edicts, in order to give some tribute in return as soon as the newly ascended princes and kings were happy.

"The current King of Chu is not... Wait, you're going to... Ji Gui came to his senses instantly.

The territory of Chu is vast, bordering most of the vassal states in the world, among which the Zhou State, which is located in the center and has an extremely small land area, is naturally the same.

It's easy to issue an edict, but if he angers the current King of Chu, Xiongju, and the other party waves his troops, how can he resist?

Ji Gui was a little cowardly, although the treasure was tempting, he hadn't lived enough.

At this moment, Gongzi Chao stood up again and said: "Why doesn't my father give this edict according to his words? Father Wang is the king of Zhou, the lord of the world. If the king of Chu is wise, he should know that he should not embarrass his father. ”

Ji Gui was about to scold, when did this originally caring little son become so ignorant.

The next moment, I understood the meaning of Childe's words.

Although Xiongju, the king of Chu, has a huge power, he Ji Gui is still the king of Zhou, theoretically he is the king, and the other party is a minister. And if the king of Chu invades Zhou, it will fall into the hands of the people of the world, and all the princes of the world can use this name to attack Chu.

Although there are some risks in this matter, the risks are not as big as imagined, and there is room for maneuver.

It was just a chain reaction caused by the first condition of Chu He, and Ji Gui asked cautiously, "I don't know what the second request of the prince is?"

He was afraid of Chu He and then asked him to help come forward and gather the princes to help him attack Chu and seize the throne.

Chu He smiled and said, "I'm waiting for a few people, I want to borrow the books of the Zhou Kingdom to have a look." I don't know if it's possible?"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go as long as you go! But if there are all the books in my palace, the prince will borrow them and read them. It's just... Many of them are unique books, and when I ask my son to watch them, I will cherish them a lot. As soon as these words came out, they surprised Chu He's heart.

He didn't expect that there were still some lone books in the palace this week, shouldn't this kind of thing have been plundered a long time ago?

In fact, this is Chu He's thinking into a misunderstanding.

Although the hundreds of schools of thought have intercepted part of the inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty, it is more accurate to say that they are laying eggs through the backdoor. Those powerful people only need to sneak into the palace of King Zhou and read the books, and they don't need to take them away at all.

And those 'robbers' who plundered Luoyi were actually soldiers sent by various countries, and most of them were rough people who were illiterate at all. I only know to take away valuable treasures, and those bamboo slips, tortoiseshell inscriptions, bone documents, stone tablets, and inscriptions on the walls of the palace will naturally not be taken away. Almost half of it has been preserved intact.

Only a few inscriptions carved on metal objects were looted and taken away along with metal ritual objects.

Of course, the most important tripod inscription has been preserved. Without sufficient status, it is impossible to lift the weight of gathering luck.

"So, did the king agree to my son's two requests?" asked Chu He.

"Promise! Promise!" Ji Gui's hand had already touched the box.

Chu He pretended not to see it, and did not let the soldiers let go of the box, but continued: "Then please ask the king to issue an edict!"

Ji Gui was forced to be helpless, so he had to summon the chamberlain to find the earthy yellow brocade silk, and write an edict on the brocade silk with a brush and ink.

Finally, the jade that was handed down from Houji was stamped on the brocade silk.

Although it is invisible to the naked eye, Chu He can feel that this originally ordinary brocade silk has a little more weight. Although the Zhou Dynasty is in decline, its reputation is still there, and the luck in the world can be contaminated with a few points.

Putting away the edict, Chu He then signaled the soldiers of Chu to loosen the box.

Seeing Ji Gui's family smirking with boxes of jewelry, they even forgot about the banquet guests. Chu He and the others also had no intention of eating the so-called 'delicacies' with clear soup and little water at the banquet, so they summoned the chamberlain and asked them to lead them to see the books.

Just now, Chu He suddenly remembered that the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, but Houji, the son of the Emperor of Heaven, was the official in charge of agriculture during the Yaoshun period, and the gods of agriculture were jointly named by heaven and man.

It is also one of the great witches of ancient times.

In other words, the ancestor of the farmer's family, among them is Houji.

If there is still a legacy left by Houji in the palace of King Zhou, it can be said that a great treasure has been excavated.

It's just that not long after everyone left the White Deer Palace, they saw a maidservant girl leading the way, followed by three little girls who were between the ages of twelve or thirteen and fifteen or sixteen, dressed quite exquisitely, but very cumbersome to serve, obviously deliberately dressed up, and walked to Chu He's side one after another.

The attendant who led the way turned around and whispered to Chu Daodao: "These are the three princesses of the king, and the king specially ordered them to take their sons to read the book and add ink and light candles." ”

Chu He looked at the three little princesses who were still childish on their faces, although they looked very cute, but as long as they touched them, they were definitely in the ranks of breaking the law, and their hearts were simply beepping.

"Ji Gui of the dog day! If you want to sell your daughter, won't you find a few older ones? This twelve or thirteen-year-old, how can I do it?"
