I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 487

Zhiyao had to admit that this was really unexpected.

If it had been predicted in advance, even if there was only a very small possibility, no matter what, Xiong Zhong would not appear.

After the incident happened, Zhiyao could only think helplessly: "This is very Chu country!"

No matter how the state of Chu fell, there was indeed no coward among their monarchs. Even King Huai of Chu, who was scolded for being extremely stupid, was deceived and arrested, and he still showed a strong enough side afterwards.

Then, what has happened, what happens next?
Chu Junyan stood up abruptly, wanting to say something, but moved her lips without making a sound, pointed at Xiong Zhong's body with trembling fingers, and then gestured to cover her face.

What can be said?

The situation of the world has developed to the present, and no one knows that Yuan Junyao has the ambition of annexing the princes to achieve "one world".

Things that the courts of various countries know well cannot be spread to the whole country, otherwise the development of the situation will become worse.

The reality is that the state of Chu has been crippled, even if the states of Chu, Yue, and Song are still in an alliance, they should not be able to defeat the Yuan state in a short time.

Xiong Zhong's suicide will definitely make Chu people hate Yuan Guo even more. It can't be said that it has no effect at all, but the current arm can't break the thigh.

What the monarchs and ministers of all countries want most now is to buy time. Whether they are looking forward to civil strife or other bad things in the original country, the most important thing is to gain time to develop or restore their strength. In short, they really have no confidence in defeating the original country.

Yuejun Goujian looked at Chu Junyan, thinking that Chu Junyan should be in a sad and happy state of mind now?
As long as Xiong Zhong didn't die for a day, Chu Junyan's ascension to the throne was actually not justified, and it would make Chu Junyan more and more embarrassed as time went by.

Regardless of personal matters, it is a shame for Chu State that Xiong Zhong has been in the hands of Yuan Guo, and it will inevitably be used by some people with ulterior motives in Chu State to make a fuss, which will definitely cause chaos in Chu State.

Among the several monarchs, Song Junluan was the one who was most surprised.

There is no deep hatred between Yuan State and Song State. Even if the Shuangfan entered into a state of hostility, the communication that should have had not been cut off, and even because of the needs of the situation, the exchanges between the two countries became more frequent.

According to Yuan Guo's attitude revealed to Song Guo, Yuan Guo will not detain Xiong Zhong forever, and will send it back to Chu when the time is right.

Of course Song Guo knew that Yuan Guo wanted to use Xiongzhong to take advantage of Chu State. Regardless of the personal feelings of Song Guo people or the needs of the country, they might not hope that Chu State would be so bad, but they also didn't want Chu State to have a better life.

What Song Junluan is most afraid of now is that Xiong Zhong's suicide will trigger a new battle. His eyes are scanning back and forth on Chu Junyan and Yuan Junyao, and he quickly conceives a persuasion plan in his mind.

After being quiet for about dozens of breaths, Zhiyao took the lead to break the silence of the scene, and said with a sad face: "The struggle between countries, don't harm the king, the king of Chu is wrong!"

Even if they were as cruel as the Chu State, they annexed dozens of vassal states, and they never did anything like capture any king and then kill them.

From the establishment of the original country to the present, several countries have been annexed, and the king of a country has not been physically harmed.

Today's incident certainly has an impact on the original country. It should be said that all the kings of a country must take it easy from now on. Winning or losing is not only about the state of the country, the safety of the losing king will lose its guarantee.

Zhiyao didn't give anyone a chance to speak, and said: "Let's have a banquet today."

Originally, everyone was just maintaining the style of the classical era and acting on the occasion, and would not reach any cooperation projects, nor would there be actual conflicts at the banquet.

After such a incident, the "protective shield" belonging to the monarch was shattered, and it is certain that the style of the classical era will never return.

Gou Jian, the Vietnamese army, was the first to leave.

Then came Song Junluan.

Zhiyao deliberately stayed until the end.

"Today's matter is definitely not my original intention. I also have no intention of sending back to the ancestor of Chu during the alliance." Zhiyao said.

Chu State Ling Yin has come with a group of Chu State nobles.Hearing Zhiyao's words, they had all kinds of expressions.

"If the state of Chu hates me, please tell each other. You and I will invite each other at a suitable time." Zhiyao looked at Chu Junyan with a sincere expression.

What is this for?
Do I need to say more?Chu State must hate Yuan State!
However, Chu Junyan was overwhelmed by Zhiyao.

Chu State, which has been hit repeatedly, just wants to recuperate now, and revenge can be done slowly.

Now, another war with Yuan Country immediately broke out?Not to mention whether the Chu State can win or not, the country that benefits may not be the Yuan State, and the Yue State and the Song State will definitely benefit.

Zhao Gu took a step forward in time and said, "Don't use the original country to send the envoys to mourn. Tomorrow, today..., you and I will meet on the battlefield."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Gu stepped forward and tugged Chu Junyan's sleeve, indicating that he could leave.

Zhiyao stood on the spot watching Chu's monarch and ministers leave, glanced at the blood on the floor, and said to the ministers: "Dayuan's established goal remains unchanged."

Just now, Zhao Gu didn't even count his harshness and internal softness, at best he was trying to save his respect.

war?On the contrary, Chu State was extremely afraid of Yuan State's army going south, otherwise the wording would be extremely fierce, how could it be so innocuous.

As for Zhao Gu's refusal of Yuan Guo to send a condolence mission, it can only be said that it should have been intended.

As a matter of fact, the envoys sent by the original country to express condolences must have something happen when they arrive at the Chu country, and there is a high probability that a war between the two countries will be inevitable.

That's why Zhao Gu first rejected Yuan Guo's sending of condolence envoys, and then invited him to hunt in this order of speech.

Sima Rangju said with a serious face: "What can't be tolerated? Dayuan needs to destroy Chu State within ten years!"

Sure enough, someone asked why.

Sima Rangju said: "Because there are lessons learned from the past."

Regardless of the far story, the near Goujian endured with great perseverance and successfully re-emerged the Yue Kingdom, which was on the verge of extinction.

As a high-level executive in a country, irritability is the biggest shortcoming. Being able to endure can only be said to be qualified, and being able to judge the situation and make the best use of the situation is excellent.

Afterwards, no one in Yuan Country or Chu Country intentionally publicized the news that Xiong Zhong committed suicide at the banquet, but there were quite a few people in Yue Country and Song Country who talked about it, especially Yue Country was the most noisy.

As the parties directly involved, Yuan State and Chu State exercised restraint. The irrelevant Yue State wished that the events at the banquet would be known to the whole world. That's all.

"Judging from previous cases, Gou Jian doesn't look like a fool. He is following in Fu Chai's footsteps. Is it because women play too much and their brains are burned by alcohol?" As a fig leaf that pierced through the remains of the Spring and Autumn Period, the scale of some actions by various countries will be even greater.

To put it bluntly, what to do is no longer so reserved, and what is useful is used to death.

Both the Yuan State and the Chu State could spy on the Yue State's intentions in doing so. Even if the high-level leaders would not have too much emotional fluctuations due to public opinion, the grassroots would definitely be affected.

Let's put it this way, once the public opinion is too turbulent, no matter how reluctant the top leaders of the Chu State have to do something.This is the role of public opinion.

However, it is actually good for Yue to do that, at least let Chu know what Yue is thinking, and force Chu's high-level officials to become more calm.

"Fan Qing, can you go to Chu more often?" Zhiyao said to Fan Li, who served as a guest minister in the original country.

Fan Li was very clear about what he needed to do, and explained the current situation in the world to the monarchs and ministers of Chu State with the advantage of his tongue, so that the monarchs and ministers of Chu State understood that Yue State had bad intentions.

I believe that the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom should think about how much strength the Yue Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, as allies, can contribute to the current war with the Yuan Kingdom.

In addition, don't forget that Yuejun Goujian's reputation is extremely bad, especially in terms of credibility.

Without too much effort on the part of the Yuan State, the Chu State's monarchs and ministers will make various interpretations from Yue Jun Goujian's behavior. One of the guesses must be that the Yue State hopes that the Chu State will break out with the Yuan State and take advantage of the opportunity.

The Yue State played almost no role in the joint confrontation with the Antigen State last year, and this alone would make Chu State and Song State doubt the sincerity of the Yue State's alliance.

It is true that the original country is the strongest at present. Based on this, all countries need to form an alliance to fight against the original country.

They can also seek to annex each other, become stronger and then confront the original country.

Some choices, who doesn't want to become stronger?

Allies have always been vain, and it is only when you are strong that you are the most real!

What happened next seemed strange.

Yuan State and Chu State seemed to have forgotten a lot of unhappiness, and the exchanges between the high-level officials suddenly increased, which made the grassroots of both sides confused.

After discovering the change in the situation, the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty thought for a while and immediately reacted.

Zigong, who served as an official in Song State, began to act as a lubricant, trying to normalize the relationship between Chu State and Yue State.

In the final analysis, the current situation is that Yuan State is the only powerful country. No matter how disgusted Chu State is with Yue State, it is impossible to forget such a powerful enemy as Yuan State. The relationship between Chu State and Yue State seems to have eased through Zigong's efforts.

Knowing that Zigong's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, Zhiyao thought, "The fame has been picked up for nothing."

It can't be said that it was picked up in vain. At best, Zigong took on an easy task at the right time.

The Huimeng Platform was built eight days after the start of construction. If other princes were to build it, the construction period would not be less than half a month.

The original country notified the participating princes of the time for the official meeting.

This time the alliance is different from the previous ones, not only the meeting of the "Prince Xiang" is held, the biggest difference is that there is no process of giving the flesh to the ministers sent by the emperor.

Are you going to formally launch the alliance?All parties still need to send people to contact, such as the number of people from all parties who appeared near the meeting platform that day, what kind of people should go there, the form of entry of the participating princes, and when the time comes, will they be on the stage together or who will be on the stage first , and so on a series of issues that need to be discussed.

The person who conducts the deliberations is the ruler of each country.

Yuan Guo dispatched Han Geng who had just taken over the ruling position.

Zhaogu from the state of Chu also just became Ling Yin not long ago.

Wenzhong was the ruler of Yue State a long time ago, and later took on the task of going to Wu State to serve Fu Chai. It is also a matter of recent years that he became the ruler of Yue State again.

It was Zihan, the right teacher, who came forward in Song Dynasty.

The four countries agreed to dispatch [-] armed personnel each on the same day, and at the same time, the monarchs will gather at the steps of the alliance platform and stand side by side on the stage.

In the process of praying to the gods and ancestors, the gods and spirits of the four directions, Yuan Junyao, who called for the alliance, presided over the process of praying.

Praying to God is an activity that Ji Zhou attaches great importance to, and not everyone is qualified to communicate with God.

In Ji Zhou's setting, praying to God means reporting and pleading to the Emperor of Heaven.

The emperor Ji Zhou worshiped was not the Jade Emperor, he had a name called Haotian God.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Emperor worshiped by the Chu Kingdom is the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Later, Ji Zhou lost his country, and Qin Empire II died, because Liu Bang, who won the country, regarded himself as a Chu, and the two Hans worshiped the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

As for the Jade Emperor?It took until Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty called the Jade Emperor to dream, and the Taoist fused Confucian Haotian God was honored as the Jade Emperor, and the land of Zhuxia began to worship this Jade Emperor.

Of course, those who are called "emperors of heaven" are not limited to those above, such as Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Di Ku, and Tang Yao, all of whom are revered as emperors of heaven in the pre-Qin historical records.

Zhiyao originally didn't want to play the Zhou royal family anymore, but people really need a belief.

"If there is a chance, we must restore the original worship, worship our ancestors, and then confer gods on those who have made meritorious service to the country..." Zhi Yao had just finished reciting the prayer.

There is nothing complicated, just a prayer that the princes of the alliance can accept. The general idea is that the Zhou royal family is gone, and the people in each region need a king to continue to lead them. How is the current situation in the world? Several countries meet together Pray together, what will happen after becoming king, and so on.

While walking up the steps, Zhiyao continued to think about the question just now, thinking: "In fact, monotheism is the most suitable for external expansion, but Zhuxia has its own national conditions, and it is absolutely impossible to abandon the tradition of worshiping ancestors."

In fact, it is not so absolute. There are also many people who convert to a certain religion and stop worshiping their ancestors in the future.

During the climbing period, thinking about problems is thinking about problems, and Zhiyao did not forget to beware of Goujian.

Others may not be able to do the assassination on this occasion, but the truth is that Goujian may not be sure.

Zhiyao is definitely not the only one who is wary of Goujian.

Didn't you see that Song Junluan, who was arranged next to Goujian, subconsciously shifted his position, making the distance between the two of them a bit wide?

From the people below, Yuan Junyao, Chu Junyan, and Song Junluan were relatively close to each other, but Yue Jun Gou Jian was alone, making it look like Yuan, Chu, and Song were allies, united against Yue. have to.

Yuejun Goujian may not have reacted at first, waiting for the reaction, his cheeks twitched and moved closer to Song Junluan, which made Song Junluan secretly cry.

Fortunately, they climbed to the top soon, which relieved Song Junluan's embarrassment and anxiety.

They each had their own seats, and there was an attendant waiting above them. After they sat down respectively, the attendant poured a glass of wine for them.

Zhiyao took the lead in raising the wine bar, and the other three people who had just become kings gathered one after another.

"King Chu, King Yue, and King Song, please have a drink together!"

The other three great kings also gave out their respective titles, and Zhiyao is of course the original king.

In such an extremely serious situation, Zhiyao shouldn't have thought too much, but she still thought: "First I am the original person, and now I am the original king. Others will not find it strange, I am different..."
