Chapter 67: Peeling Back the Cloak of History (Plus the Third Update!)
The king of Chu Ling, recorded in history, was a violent king, poor and extravagant, fond of killing, and did not cultivate benevolence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But history is like a little girl who can't make up, and when she falls into the green building, she can only let the bustards dress up wantonly. It's obviously green and indestructible, but it just wants to make it bright and colorful.
Even if there are many discredits in the history books, it is undeniable that King Chu Ling made great achievements during his reign, destroyed the Cai State, coerced the Wu State, and opened up a good situation for the Chu State.
As for the bad thing about him killing his brother and nephew, in the history behind him, there was a famous king who did far more than him.
As Orwell said in "1984": "Whoever masters the past will master the present and the future!"
It has always been the right of the victors to embellish history.
As a nobleman of Chu State, a side branch of the royal family, theoretically the royal family is dead, and Chu He also has a chance to succeed to the throne and become the king of Chu...
Of course, this is only theoretical.
However, through the side knock and side inquiry, Chu He knew that the chin-in-law he replaced was actually familiar with Xiong Ju. Xiong Ju later changed his name to Xiong Qiji, which was the king of Chu after King Ling, King Chu Ping.
That is also a ruthless man, in the future, King Chu Ling's reputation will rot the street, and he was finally forced to hang himself to death, which is Xiong Qiji's handiwork.
"So, I still have a little bit of an advantage. Chu He thought to himself.
The current Xiong Qiji, in order to avoid being jealous of King Chu Ling, just drinks and has fun every day, and is in the company of a well-known prodigal child in the royal family like Gongzi Yin, but he does not make friends with any ministers and generals who have some real power.
No matter how the history books slander King Chu Ling, there is only one thing that is not wrong.
King Chu Ling is indeed easy to kill, and he is very suspicious.
"Spring and Autumn Warring States! Whether it is in the history of the bright face or in the secret texts handed down by the cultivation realm, it belongs to the most chaotic and brilliant period. In this era, the minds of all people have the soil to survive. At the same time, all kinds of cultivation systems that have been accumulated since ancient times have also begun to explode, and there are descendants born one after another. Behind the hundreds of princes, standing are the powerful figures of the ancient times who have already achieved extraordinary achievements. ”
"Someone, prepare a car for me! This son is going to go to Uncle Ju to drink. Under the service of the slave girl, Chu He dressed in rather complicated clothes, and then opened his mouth to shout.
Outside the house, there were already kneeling on the ground, waiting for the waiting servants to come and make arrangements.
Some of these slaves were not from humble backgrounds, but were originally nobles of the Cai State, and after the Cai State was destroyed, most of these nobles of the Cai State were captured and reduced to slaves, and were distributed to the clans and the homes of meritorious ministers by King Chu Ling.
This kind of noble-born slave, as long as he knows how to forbear and let go of his body, is very easy to please his master. Gradually, some of the owner's rights will be acquired.
Perhaps this was the root cause of the whole country's opposition to King Chu Ling later.
Gongzi's status is not high, so the carriage he rides in has no canopy, and can only be pulled by an ox.
The royal family of Chu is rich, and almost all the nobles in Shangying have extremely rich family property. However, rules are rules and cannot be crossed, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Xiongju's residence is in the southeast corner of Shangying, a little remote, but it occupies a lot of land.
After the servant reported it, Chu He was ushered into the hall.
Xiongju has already prepared a dancing girl, and the fruits, vegetables and drinks have already been prepared.
Some of the doormen who have got the fur of the Zongheng family, only know how to puff out their lips and tongue, and say some pleasing words to eat together, are also sitting in a row, and their eyebrows are dancing to flatter Xiongju.
In some later texts or film and television works, how awesome the Zonghengjia is bragged is, in fact, it is a partial generalization.
There are a lot of cattle people from the Zongheng family, what Su Qin hangs the seal of the six countries, Zhang Yi can block thousands of troops with one mouth, of course, it is powerful.
Chu He even knew that these two people not only had powerful mouths, but also the guys in their hands were even more powerful. Otherwise, the Warring States would be in chaos, and they would dare to travel around the world and lobby the heroes without any means.
Those historical records that angered the monarch of a country, but there was no, and the sons who calmly retreated. It's not that people don't want to kill, but they can't kill at all.
To put it simply, there are some cultivators who are highly cultivated and idle part-time thinkers and politicians who go to sell their theories to the kings of various countries.
When the deal is negotiated, they naturally rejoice and take what they need. If you can't negotiate the deal and flip the table, it depends on whose fist is harder. Among the various schools of thought, some people are among the best, not only in cultural classes, but also in practical classes and physical education. And some of them can only be scumbags, and after learning a little trivial, they wander around and eat together, which is better than ordinary uneducated civilians and slaves.
"Yin'er is actually idle today, and it is rare to take the initiative to find your uncle and me, which is really rare. Drink this pot, everybody. Chu He just sat down, and Xiong Ju picked up the wine cup on the table and said.
This excuse for drinking is really terrible.
At this time, the wine cup is not small, and there may be four or five taels of wine in one glass.
However, there was no distilled liquor in ancient times, and if it wasn't for the special liquor brewed by cultivators with Linghua Exotic Fruit, the degree would generally not be too high.
Chu He picked up the wine cup on the table, drank it directly, and then squirted out of his mouth and spilled it all over the ground.
Xiong Ju's face was unhappy, but he still said in a harmonious voice: "Why is this Jin'er? Could it be that the clan uncle is not treating him well?"
Chu He shook his head and said: "Uncle Clan may not know, my nephew recently got a new kind of good wine, this wine is fragrant, it will not disperse in March, it seems to be melted by ice and snow in the mouth at first, and when it goes deep into the abdomen, it turns into a fire, and the whole person seems to be burning." Since drinking this wine, the other drinks have made it difficult for my nephew to get into his throat. ”
When Xiong Ju heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although it was to pretend to be a grandson, lest King Chu Ling not think about it and call him to the palace to slash with a knife. But after pretending to be a wine-colored waste material for a long time, some hobbies will naturally develop.
So Xiongju is not only lustful, but also good at wine.
Among them, the good wine is still on top of the lust.
"There is such a good wine in the chin, why don't you hurry up and bring it to the clan uncle to taste. Xiong Ju was so impatient that he disregarded etiquette, walked down from the main seat, and rushed directly to Chu He's side.
Chu He had already prepared, untied a wine gourd from his waist, and then poured the ice blue wine with a little red directly into the wine cup that Xiongju had vacated.
Before the wine was poured out, the smell of wine had already overflowed the entire hall, and the doormen shrugged their throats one by one, and their saliva was about to drip out.
"Good wine! Good wine! Sure enough, the aroma is overflowing, better than the spring flowers. The wine was so clean, as if the sky and the sun were reflected in this little glass of wine. Xiong Ju's eyes showed excitement, and he raised his head and drank all the wine in the wine cup.
This is a high-grade liquor distilled by the Chu River, and it choked on Xiongju as soon as it was swallowed.
But Xiongju actually held back, didn't squirt out the wine, let the snot and tears flow, and still swallowed the wine with difficulty.
Half of the wine surged up, turning into a blush on his face, and then he slowly spit out a word: "Good!"
Then he said: "We will not be blessed with such good wine, and only the king is qualified to enjoy it." If you still have this wine, please come with me into the palace and offer it to the king. ”
Chu He couldn't help but sigh, no wonder this Xiong Ju was able to usurp the throne successfully in the future, looking at this political consciousness, it was really leveraged.
Of course, this is also the purpose of Chu River.
Zhang Huatai is a copy, and there are two very clear main characters.
One of them is the Nine Phoenix Girl, there is no doubt that the current Nine Phoenix Girl is also the senior sister Xiong Mao. It's just that I don't know where Senior Sister Xiong Mao is nesting in now, and I can't find it for the time being.
The second is Xiong Qian, the king of Chu Ling.
Now that he has the convenience of his identity, Chu He naturally has to find a way to get close to King Chu Ling.
As long as he can get on the line with King Chu Ling, Chu He naturally has a way to make King Chu Ling have a preliminary identification with him.
