I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 201 Chapter Huatai

While Li Ran was arranging everything, Zheng Bo also completed the sacrificial offering to the temple before leaving.

The so-called "Gao Temple" is the behavior of ancient emperors or princes who went to worship the ancestral temple when they went on tour or encountered major events such as military service.

After everything was ready, Li Ran officially embarked on a journey to Chu State with Zheng Bo, Zichan and his party.

This was the first time for Li Ran to go to the Chu country. Facing this country that was completely different from the countries in the Central Plains, Li Ran always had some indescribable subtle feelings in his heart.

The reason for this feeling is not only because Chu Ziwei's personal style is completely different from other monarchs, but also because of the ideology and unique customs and culture of Chu State itself. It is indeed a great contrast.

There is no need to repeat the differences between Chu State and the Central Plains states here.

And Li Ran followed the team that entered Chu, and within ten days, he had already entered the territory of Yingdu, Chu State.

What surprised Zheng Bo, Zichan and others was that after they entered the territory of Yingdu, they immediately saw the Chu people's mission coming to greet them.

And the leader of the mission is none other than Wu Ju.

"Wu Ju is ordered by the new emperor, and I am here to welcome Uncle Zheng!"

It seems that Chu State attaches great importance to Zheng State, and now they have only just arrived in the outskirts of Yingdu, and Wang Ziwei has already sent people to greet them.

However, it is normal to say that, after all, the relationship between Zheng State and Chu State has always been regarded as "not bad".Moreover, Zheng Bo, as a representative of the country surnamed Ji, came to Chu State to express his condolences, which can be regarded as giving Chu State good face.

Perhaps it was because of this that the State of Chu attached great importance to the State of Zheng.

Zheng Bo, of course, was "happy" with Chu's special care.

So, he immediately said to Wu Ju who came to greet him:
"When the new king ascends the throne, the affairs of the country must be complicated, but you have to be specially sent here to greet him. It's really hard work."

"Your Majesty, you are being polite, this is just my duty."

"That being the case, then please ask the doctor to lead the way ahead."

Even though Zheng Bo didn't have a good impression of Chu State or Wang Ziwei, it was obviously necessary to come to his territory and say a few words that he still liked to hear.

Li Ran looked at Wu Ju in the team, and couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

Others may not know it, but he knows very well in his heart that the reason why Wang Ziwei attaches so much importance to the Zheng Guo Mission is not only Zheng Bo's own special status, but also Li Ran.

After all, Wang Ziwei wanted to attract his mind, it was not a day or two.And Wang Ziwei suddenly became so reasonable now, obviously it was done on purpose.

Therefore, it is not ruled out that it is mainly to decorate some facades for Li Ran to see.

Wu Ju led the way ahead after working with the Zheng Guo Mission in the suburbs.

However, after walking for a while, he suddenly turned a corner and chose a road that was not in the direction of Yingdu!

You know, they are already in the outskirts of Yingdu now, and it stands to reason that they should rush to Yingdu to mourn their late king at this time.

But now Wu Ju was not in a hurry to take them to Yingdu, but took them to another place. Even the people of Zheng Guo couldn't help but feel a "click" in their hearts.

Zheng Bo saw that the direction was wrong, so he hurriedly went to question before delivery:

"Dare to ask Dr. Wu Ju, where is this taking me?"

Zichan immediately rode forward, caught up with Wu Ju and asked the question.

Wu Ju didn't hesitate when he heard this, he immediately turned his head, came to Zheng Bo's car and dismounted and bowed, which can be said to have given Zheng Bo full face:

"If you go back to your majesty, not far ahead is the Zhanghua Terrace built by the widowed monarch. The widowed monarch specially ordered his servants to welcome Zheng Jun and everyone to go there to rest for a few days. There is no rush to express condolences."

Zhang Huatai

One symbolizes their Chu State's desire to unite the princes and swallow the world, and the other expresses Chu Wang Xiongwei's desire to attract people from all over the world.

Of course, the current Zheng Bo and Zichan must not know what kind of Yang's place Zhang Huatai is. After hearing what Wu Ju said, they seemed a little confused.

I wondered if the newly succeeded king of Chu was confused. How could such an important matter of mourning the dead king be postponed without reason?
However, they changed their minds and thought again, these Chu people have always played their cards against common sense.Therefore, it is reasonable for them not to act according to Zhou etiquette.

So the two just looked at each other and didn't say much about it.

Li Ran, who was following behind, heard what Wu Ju said about Zhang Huatai, and immediately felt a sense of emotion in his heart:
Wang Ziwei has always embarked on this road. His ambitions are in this Zhanghuatai. How long can he keep it?

Speaking of the person who is called "Chu Ling King" in later generations, among the monarchs Li Ran has seen with his own eyes, he is definitely the most ambitious one.And what he possesses is a physique and ambition that ordinary people cannot match.

He can compare himself to Duke Huan of Qi, and he wants to control the world.

Judging from his performance before he succeeded to the throne, it is enough to confirm this point.

However, the desire for pleasure seems to be a hurdle that every king can hardly jump over, especially in this troubled world with constant disputes.If the king is fortunate enough to take this sip, it will undoubtedly become a behavior that will suffer from it from the king to the subjects.

Just as Li Ran was thinking, Wu Ju in front of him suddenly stopped, and when everyone looked up, the magnificent Zhang Huatai came into everyone's eyes.

Li Ran's first reaction when he saw Zhanghua Terrace was to think of another famous building in history - Tongque Terrace.

Whoa!These two can be said to have similar approaches but equally satisfactory results!
I saw Zhanghua Terrace here, which is nearly ten feet high and fifteen feet wide, with carved railings and jade bricks, gorgeous colors, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, corridors and waists, and intrigues.

The prince surrounded and built Zhanghuatai, which showed his attitude of seeking talents, and tried his best to whitewash the prosperity of their Chu state.

Isn't this surprisingly similar to the original intention of Cao Cao to build Tongque Terrace?

The behavior of taking this self-whitening to the extreme seems to be a consistent method that all these heroes will use.

It seems that Cao Cao of the later generations must be a fan of King Ling of Chu!

However, Li Ran couldn't help but be speechless when he saw this majestic and magnificent palace group.After all, with the architectural capabilities of the current era, it would be unimaginable to use the power of the people to build such a magnificent building complex.

From this, we can also see the appeal and executive power of the Prince Wai in Chu State.

There is no doubt that if you want to build a world wonder like this, it is impossible for a king without a certain degree of action.

"Your Majesty is already waiting in the hall, please ask Zheng Jun to be in danger."

When he came to the gate of Zhanghua Palace, Wu Ju got off his horse and went in to report, leaving Zheng Bo and other people waiting outside the palace.

Looking at the towering Zhang Huatai, Zheng Bo couldn't help being a little jealous for a while.After all, he is also the king of a country, let alone build some gorgeous palaces, even if he enjoys a little bit in the palace, he will be watched by the officials.

Although it can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing, in fact, the life in the office is far from being as beautiful as people imagined.

And this Wang Ziwei hadn't become the king of Chu before!It's just that Ling Yin of the Chu State mobilized the power of the whole country to build such a magnificent and magnificent tower.

Doesn't this make them, who are also kings, feel ashamed now?
And Zichan, who had been standing by the side all the time, seemed to have seen the king's mind, so he immediately bowed to persuade him:
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, a king who has been greedy for pleasure has never been able to achieve anything. Those who have great ambitions do not depend on where they live or what they eat. Those with high aspirations are those who cannot flatten the wilderness, bury the swamp, or bury the tiger. Roaring through the mountains and forests, Pengfei flies through the vast universe."

The meaning of what he said was nothing more than telling Zheng Bo not to care where others lived or what kind of life others enjoyed.

A truly ambitious person, even if he lives poorly in the mountains, should have a heart for the world.

Of course, these words can also be applied at any time thousands of years later.Most of those who really have ambitions do not live in gorgeous villas, and most of those who can really achieve something start from flat tiles and make their fortunes among ordinary people.

Extravagance and pleasure are just a means of self-promotion.A truly ambitious person should not be fooled by such hypocritical distractions.

Li Ran also heard clearly from the side, and immediately nodded in agreement, and secretly said that Zi Chanzhen is a real gentleman.
