History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 159 Illusion Spell·Big and Small Monuments (Four Thousand)
Although the king did not announce what Feng Yun wanted to say overnight, the princes and princes at the banquet in the city also came to a clear understanding...

The next day.

Feng Yun left and returned to Xunyang City, where he arranged for Manwa to pack up and leave Baiyue tomorrow.

At this time, Ou Ye received a letter - it stated that the new king of Yu Yue, Gou Jian, was young and under the control of his clan.

And he dedicated the five swords to the Wu Kingdom in order to seek stability.

Now Yu Yue has made a truce with Wu in response to his plan, and Ou Ye is also preparing to go to Fengze to find its mines and forge new swords.

"Mr. Ou Ye is lucky to be able to leave Yu Yue. However, although the war between Wu and Yue has ceased, there will definitely be new troubles."

Gou Jian...

Feng Yun remembered that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, lay down on the firewood and tasted his courage.

Without thinking too much, there was a message coming from outside the hall——

"Jun Feng, the king is seriously ill... I hope Lord Feng can stay..."

"Is the king seriously ill?"

Feng Yun stood up, frowning and looking at the eunuch who bowed in front of him and held the imperial edict.

Received the edict.

Feng Yun said: "But the king asked me to stay?"

The chamberlain shook his head and said hurriedly: "It's Yu, it's the people of Baiyue... The news that the king is seriously ill has been spread..."

Feng Yun frowned in confusion, how could this happen overnight.

Fortunately, Baiyue is now stable, has alliances with several countries, and has a strong military, so there is no need to worry about intrusion from foreign enemies.

But precisely because of this, the news that the king was seriously ill made people panic. If the king failed, who would continue to maintain the internal affairs?
What's more, Feng Yun wants to leave at this time...

When I opened the edict, I saw the letter——

When Fengjun was here, I managed to hold on to my broken body. Fortunately, Fengjun settled down in Baiyue in just half a year...

This time there is no need to force support anymore, just when Feng Jun leaves, and together they test Feng Jun’s national policy, which is Baiyue’s last difficulty.

"The last hurdle?"

Change of monarch!

The change of monarch is often the biggest impact on a country's politics. The old and the new are not unified, and the national policy will inevitably change. This is something that Feng Yun and the king are worried about, but they have never faced it and have nothing to do about it.

"Has the king arranged for the young master?"

The matter of the new king is ultimately decided by the King of Baiyue.

The waiter shook his head.

"The king didn't mention it."

"Fengjun, you can't leave Baiyue at this time!"

Hearing this, Feng Yun hesitated...

The king's order stated that the king wanted to use his serious illness to test the effectiveness of Feng Yun's national policy. Therefore, Feng Yun could not take action. He could only rely on the order of this national policy and let Baiyue develop on its own. Otherwise, he would eventually leave. Maybe he will appear every time the monarch changes to preside over it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Feng. The old woman went to the capital of Baiyue for Mr. Feng to visit the king." Outside the door, the witch held an edict, which she knew was the order of the King of Baiyue.

"The witch's injuries are healed, so how can she be tired?" Feng Yun said with a frown.

The witch smiled.

"I know about the old woman's body... I also ask Lord Feng to stay in Xunyang City temporarily and guard her."

The witch took out the Seal of the City Lord of Xunyang City and handed it to Feng Yun.

Feng Yun took it hesitantly.

"You are allowed to wait in Xunyang for a while longer, but you are not allowed to spend the summer."

The witch nodded and left with her servant, heading for Baiyue City.

But now it is midsummer, and the heavy rain season is approaching. If we stay for another summer, we can also see whether there will be disasters in Fengze Water.

Feng Yun held the order of Xunyang City, summoned the servants, and ordered: "Send another three thousand armored soldiers to guard the border of Fengze until the end of the heavy rain season... If the flood comes, we can quickly report back and arrange for the downstream The people fled."

"promise…"

Xunyang City now only has [-] armored soldiers, and [-] were mobilized. Now, [-] are also guarding the edge of the city to prevent disaster, which is enough.

……

A few days later, the public worries caused by the news of Wang Bing were greatly weakened because Feng Yun was stationed in Xunyang. Feng Yun, who did not want to affect the national situation because of himself, had nothing to do about it.

An Feng was mending clothes on the side, which showed that they were the clothes worn by Zhou rites in winter.

"Clan Chief Anfeng, there is no need to mend Yu."

An Feng has been beside Feng Yun these days, mending clothes and asking about national policy.

"Fengjun is leaving Baiyue. An Feng just wants to exchange clothes for Fengjun's knowledge. Otherwise, Fengjun will be annoyed if he asks again and again."

An Feng's eyes darkened...

Among the ten techniques of the witch doctor Zhu You, she still has not learned the last one - prohibiting the evil path.

Only by mastering these ten Zhuyou techniques and combining them into the witch doctor method can she and Feng Yun obtain the next stage of Nuwa's inheritance - the witchcraft.

The witchcraft is also called the ugly ten witches, among which the witch doctor is only one of the ten witches.

As for Feng Yun, he has now compiled the book "Zhu You" and has naturally mastered the witch doctor's method. However, this matter is not urgent. It is not that he will never be here. On the contrary, An Feng has mastered the witch doctor and he will learn it again. Then yes.

"You and I both have something to gain from discussing Taoism, so why bother?"

Feng Yun dismissed An Feng's request for advice as a discussion, which made An Feng lower his head and smile, shaking his head secretly.

Without waiting for a reply, a waiter came from outside.

"Jun Feng, something happened in Baiyue City..."

"What's the matter?" Feng Yun stared at the waiter closely.

The waiter was panicked and hurriedly told the situation.

It was not the King of Baiyue who was in trouble, but the Grand Duke Tu of the Ten Tribes, who was in charge of the people. It was discovered that when he was counting the people, he had secretly forged the number of people in his own clan, and because of a mistake, he had omitted to record the number of the people of Guai. .

As a result, there was a lot of greed for food when the grain was distributed, and it also made the ancient Ailai people have less food to distribute.

Feng Yun's eyes were slightly angry.

"I had anticipated this for a long time, but I didn't want it to be so blatant at the founding of the country."

Feng Yun took out the animal skin and wrote a secret order.

"Send it to Ai City and hand it over to Commander Donan. He will handle the matter."

"promise!"

After the waiter left, An Feng asked Feng Yun what method he had written to resolve the matter.

Feng Yun said indifferently: "This matter is engraved on the Grand Duke's stele for the public to see."

"Food is the most important thing. The people of Guai are new to Baiyue and this happened. What do you think?"

"The people are more important. This Duke cannot distinguish between priorities. His behavior is the foundation of destroying the country!"

"In this case, let the people of Baiyue spit on you first, and then assassinate him."

"After the Grand Duke dies, let them have someone from the direct line of Grand Duke Tu who knows the priorities."

Jiuli and Ten Tribes...Although the princes and princes can promote the positions in the ministry at will, the princes and princes can also be replaced by members of the clan. However, if the clan dies or there is no suitable person to take office, they can only be replaced by someone from another clan. Human beings are big and small.

The grand duke is responsible for the supervision, whether he is present or not, Feng Yun is not worried that something big will happen if one of them dies.

The big and small public monuments are the tools to test whether one can hold office, and they are also the objects of destiny.

An Feng on the side was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"But I don't know that Mr. Feng is now... decisive."

An Feng didn't know how to describe it in words.

Feng Yun only said: "Compassion cannot control the army, and gentleness cannot supervise the country."

……

Following Feng Yun's order, starting from the capital of Baiyue, the evil deeds of the Grand Duke Tu were inscribed on the grand duke's stele, and the people were informed through the chamberlain that his denunciation of the Grand Duke Tu became more and more fierce.

However, if the Grand Duke is not guilty, he will not be punished. This is a clear provision in the Jiuli and Shibu.Therefore, the people could not help but wonder whether Feng Yun's original national policy was to protect these unscrupulous princes.

But the Duke and the Duke were grateful for Feng Yun's national policy.

The Grand Duke of Tu family is still riding a carriage, leisurely and at ease.

But just when his denunciation was about to die out, Grand Duke Tu was assassinated, and his body was hung on the city gate after his death.

For a time, in Baiyue, the people shouted loudly that the fate of the country will not protect the big thieves!

However, he listened to the order and rated the Grand Duke Tu as a subordinate, so he was buried with scant ceremony.

He also asked the direct descendants of the Grand Duke of the Tu family to take office quickly. If no one takes office, his position as Grand Duke will be chosen from another clan.

The Tu family, who originally wanted to find the murderer, immediately silenced themselves, hastily restrained the Grand Duke of the Tu family, and promoted the Tu family's direct descendants to continue the Grand Duke's family.

The rest of the young and old were all shocked.

They finally saw the evil behind Feng Yun's involvement in the Great and Small Monuments!

But now they are deeply involved. If they resign from this position, their family will lose the preferential treatment of the country. Who will give up?
In confusion, hesitation, and fear.

Another news came - witch pawn!

When the witch died, Feng Yun sent An Feng to bring back the witch's body and bury it with public honors. Feng Yun will personally preside over the funeral.

The king also ordered that the witch's lifetime achievements and great virtues be recorded on the Grand Duke's stele. He also sent a large number of treasures to be buried with her, and was later named the Chief of Baiyue Witches.

Such great treatment is completely different from that of the Grand Duke Tu.

The rest of the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke finally understood why the Grand Duke and the Grand Duke's monuments were divided into Lower Gong and Shang Gong.

After the witch, his witch department was taken over by An Feng.

……

On top of the ceremony, An Feng once again wore a silver dragon crown and a large gown, showing his arrogance and perseverance on the An family altar.

"Mr. Feng, let's talk with An Feng."

Li Bi.

An Feng invited Feng Yun to come to the intersection of the Yangtze River and Fengze, above Shuizhou.

The strong wind blows, and the clothes flutter.

Feng Yun was silent, looking at the silver ring on An Feng's earlobe. An Feng smiled slightly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"The witch said that there is a Yao ring, and Mr. Feng also has one. He just doesn't know about it, but he still wears it."

Feng Yun nodded.

An Feng smiled and took out an animal skin from his arms.

"Before the witch leaves, she wants to give this thing to Lord Feng."

This is a last word.

The witch had already prepared it, but it also stated that if Feng Yun had left Baiyue before the witch died, there would be no need to leave these last words.

Most of his last words were An Feng.

The witch knew early on that An Feng was a descendant of the Nuwa family.

However, the grievances between the Nuwa family and Baiyue forced the witch to hide this secret.

While reading this book, the surrounding space suddenly changes.

This is witchcraft, the power of witches.

Feng Yun seemed to have gone back to the first time he met the witch. They were sitting on a bamboo mat in the attic of a wooden house on the side of the Lushan Mountains, drinking tea and talking about the conditions of Baiyue.

But this time, what the witch told was the past events between Nuwa and Baiyue, and Feng Yun couldn't help but feel in a trance——

"Nuwa cannot be king!"

The striking words brought Feng Yun back to his senses and looked at the witch.

When the witch saw Feng Yun looking at her, she smiled in agreement and continued: "The Nuwa family is the most respected of Baiyue, and can determine the throne, and each clan alternately becomes the king. She is not the king, but she is better than the king."

The witch smiled.

"This is the reason why Baiyue respects the Nuwa clan and takes the Nuwa clan as the first, while the rest of the Yue respects the Baiyue Kingdom and puts the Baiyue Kingdom as the leader... But."

The witch lost her smile.

"For some reason, the power of the Nuwa clan has become weaker and weaker and cannot protect the entire Yue region. Therefore, the other tribes and countries in the Yue region no longer respect Baiyue and believe that the Nuwa clan is extinct..."

"At this point, the Nuwa family is unable to support the state affairs, and even the sacrifices of the Baiyue Kingdom have fallen into the hands of our Yao."

"And the Baiyue Kingdom was completely forcibly controlled by the brave and brave Qi clan."

"The Qi family suppressed all other clans and became the sole king. This is how it came about... This also caused disaster."

The witch lamented... Their Yao was just a witch dance girl beside the Nuwa clan. They had never betrayed the Nuwa clan. But Yao was also a citizen of Baiyue. Between the lost power of the Nuwa clan and the future of the Baiyue Kingdom, Yao I chose Baiyue...

The witch lowered her head and continued: "In a subsequent sacrifice, in order to restore the prestige of Baiyue, the Yao family united with my Yao in the year of drought..."

The witch stretched out her hand, and on her old fingers, a little spiritual light turned into a flame. The flame became hotter and stronger.

Feng Yun was among them, as if he saw the sun burning the earth, hanging high in the sky.

On a cliff, Nuwa, dressed in Tsing Yi, worshiped the ground and prayed. The cliff was also full of hungry people...

"Heavy rain, let it fall..."

Pray for rain!

But with the sound of the drums, the sun became more and more scorching, and there was no sign of clouds or water vapor gathering together.

As the hot wind blew, Feng Yun's vision came to the back of the cliff, and he saw a group of shamans dancing and praying to the sky. A force gathered on their bodies and rushed into the sky.

It turns out that they are the ones actually offering sacrifices, not Nuwa...

Nuwa had already lost her strength. He was burned by the scorching sun and died on the cliff.

Feng Yun thought of Nv Chou. Nv Chou was the first Nuwa clan. Didn’t she also die in Tenri Dangkong?

Nuwa's fate is so similar.

But the heavy rain did not come, and the entire scene disappeared.

The witch sighed again in front of Feng Yun.

"In this sacrifice, the Ge family forced the Nuwa family to step onto the cliff, so that the Nuwa family really died..."

"This caused Gu Ai, who was closest to Baiyue, to use this as a reason to seize Baiyue's rights to respect the Nuwa clan."

"The two countries were at war, and Yu Yue invaded more and more, and he also wanted to respect the Nuwa family... But later, the descendants of the Nuwa family disappeared, Baiyue and Gu Ai were defeated, and they were conquered by Yu Yue..."

"Later, when Baiyue became independent, the Yi family filled the vacancy of the Nuwa family with the God of Fengze..."

"After that, you will know everything."

After the witch finished speaking, her figure became blurry.

But she smiled and told other things——

"The old woman didn't believe in the voice of Fengze. She entered Fengze and wanted to destroy the god of Fengze and rebuild the statue of Nuwa... But after entering Fengze, the old woman understood that Fengze does have a god."

"The old woman's trip is to provoke God. When Feng Lord entered Feng Ze, the old woman was also surprised, but she had no choice but to do so."

"The evil winds in the wind and rivers can cause thunder and lightning, create floods, and destroy life."

"The old woman thought she would die in Fengze, so she prayed to the goddess Nuwa with a witch dance for the last time..."

"While dancing, I was struck by lightning and fell into the water, but I didn't want to be lifted up by a divine turtle and escaped from Fengze, haha."

"Later, during a blessing ceremony, I received a curse, and I knew that it was Nuwa who protected me."

In the laughter, the illusion around me disappeared...

When Feng Yun looked at the animal skin in his hand, he could only see a twisted pattern, which was also the phantom spell left by the witch to Feng Yun.

"Mr. Feng, I wonder if the witch mentioned An Feng?"

An Feng's words followed the cool breeze of the water and blew to Feng Yun's ears.

It was a hot summer day, but after the wind passed by, there was a surge of scorching heat. Feng Yun looked at An Feng. It happened that An Feng was wearing a thin blue shirt at this time, as if the image of the ugly woman was right in front of him.
