History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 219 Forming a Contract with Chu State

"Fengzi, why did you come here?"

In the camp, Chu Jun originally wanted to discuss the military situation with Zhaoyang.

Protected by armor, he was ready to fight. On the other side, stood a young man whom Feng Yun didn't recognize. From the looks of it, he must also be a Chu general.

"The purpose of the emperor's attack on Chu is to enhance the emperor's power."

Feng Yun got straight to the point and said bluntly: "In the past few years, disasters have occurred frequently in the capital of the Zhou royal family. Even if there is help from outsiders, they can only be cured."

"This is the time when manpower cannot defeat the power of nature."

"As a result, the intimidation of the Zhou royal family was greatly reduced in the hands of this generation of emperors, and many surrounding people were dissatisfied."

Feng Yun could only make a rough guess.

However, due to the emperor's repeated orders to attack Chu this time, he wanted to destroy Chu at all costs. To this end, he gave up most of his interests and the behavior of the princes.

It is not difficult to see that Emperor Zhou intended to attack Chu to show the majesty of the Zhou family.

In order to secure the four seas and five lakes, the country of Zhouli will be established.

"Promote the power of the emperor..." Chu Jun heard the voice and his eyes were filled with anger.

"Using the death of my Chu people to exalt his majesty, what about my Chu people?"

"Chu does not respect Zhou Ye!"

From the ancestor Mi Xiong to the present, the state of Chu has been like this, being squeezed out by the state of Zhou Li.

Even now that he is powerful, he is not treated equally.

Lord Chu was angry.

but.

"The death of Bao Xiang is not an illusion. Please remember, Mr. Chu. If you want to impose a crime, there is no need to worry about it. If you are an innocent person, there is no need to worry about excuses."

Chu's crime is real, so Chu Jun's anger at this time can only be angered and lamented.

"Alas..." Chu Jun sighed heavily.

Zhaoyang on the side had a cold face, but his eyes were full of confusion.

Why does Fengzi want?

See here.

Feng Yun did not explain to these two people anymore.

He said bluntly: "Chu is facing four difficulties. The plague has been resolved, and the floods have been managed by Mr. Sun Shuao."

"Today, there is still the decadence of the war and the sadness of the people."

"Yun now has two strategies to solve this problem... However, Yun is not from Chu, nor is he a minister of Chu. To implement this strategy, he needs the personal order of the Lord of Chu."

Hearing this, Lord Chu suppressed his surprise and bowed down: "Please invite Fengzi to serve as an official in the Kingdom of Chu. I would like to take the position of Prime Minister..."

Prime Minister.

Now that Sun Shuao is the Prime Minister of Chu, this Chu king is very decisive.

but.

Feng Yun shook his head.

"Yun does not want to serve in the Chu Kingdom. He just wants Chu Jun to sign a contract with Yun."

Make a contract?

Chu Jun was stunned.

Zhaoyang and the strong man on the side looked at each other, both waiting for Feng Yun to say more.

"What book?"

Lord Chu asked respectfully without any pretense of being a monarch.

"If Mr. Chu can agree..." Feng Yun looked into Mr. Chu's eyes and said word by word: "Slaves join the army and kill enemies and perform meritorious service to serve the people. Slaves work as farmers and work hard to serve the people. Slaves work as workers to build and benefit the country. It can serve the people.”

Slaves, three ways to serve the people.

Chu Jun frowned, but still nodded in approval.

Among them, slaves joined the army, killed the enemy and performed meritorious service, which could also ease the war, and he would not hesitate to allow it.

But Feng Yun's next sentence shocked Jun Chu, Zhaoyang and the strong man.

"The king of Chu still needs to abolish the state of Chu, and 'non-powerful people are not allowed to serve in official positions', so that the king and the people can once again fight against each other and share the joys and sorrows."

"No, how can it be!"

Before Chu Jun and Zhao Yang could say anything, the strong man on the side shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, how can those common people work with me in the same court!"

This is basically destroying the foundation of Chu's powerful people.

In such a matter, even Zhaoyang did not dare to speak for Feng Yun and could only sternly say to the strong man: "Ziyu, be silent!"

Cheng Dechen was born in the Cheng family of Chu State, with the courtesy name Ziyu.

After ordering Zhaoyang, he calmed down his excitement.

At this time, in the camp, all eyes came to Chu Jun.

choose...

Feng Yun is not in a hurry.

It is Mr. Chu who is anxious.

"Is it necessary?" Chu Jun asked in a low voice.

He didn't think Feng Yun would speak without reason.

This contract should be related to Feng Yun's two strategies. at this time……

Without waiting for Feng Yun to answer, Lord Chu clenched his palms tightly, opened his eyes sideways, and said loudly: "As long as Fengzi can retreat the six divisions and calm the people's hearts, I swear by the fate of the country of Chu, I will make a contract with Fengzi!"

After speaking, Chu Jun tore his robe, cut his palms, and wrote down what he just said with blood.

For a time, the silk section was covered with small blood-red characters.

Lord Chu took out the seal from his waist and printed it with blood!

"Fengzi, please watch!"

Chu Jun handed over the silk book, then tore off the strips of cloth and bandaged the wound on his palm.

Feng Yun read it and found no mistakes.

The silk book is full of the fate of Chu and the aura of Chu Jun. Now as long as he agrees, it can become a shackle standing in the world of Chu, binding Chu Jun so that he does not dare to break his oath.

"Since Mr. Chu has thought about it, Na Yun won't hesitate."

The green hairpin turns into green branches.

Feng Yun held it in hand and looked upward.

"boom!"

The tent was instantly destroyed by a strong air current, revealing a cloudy and rainy sky.

The wind blew his clothes and robes, and the soldiers surrounding him heard strange noises and gathered around.

But Chu Jun raised his hand to indicate that nothing happened.

Then he saw Feng Yun pointing at the silk book, with mysterious energy rising all over his body, and he rolled up the silk book and came up.

The art of Enochian heaven and earth!

A picture flew out of the mysterious energy - Nuwa Fuxi holding a diagram of rules.

The picture turned into two towering giants made of mysterious energy.

It seems to be watching and proving.

Chu's fortune also flew out at this time and turned into the Prime Minister of Wu Hui.

Wu returned and saluted the two giants from a distance.

The silk book also flew away from the giant's hand and fell into Wu Hui's hand.

At this time, everyone in Chu State can see it.

Wu Hui turned into a ball of flame and carried the silk book into a chain, connecting to Lord Chu!

The deal is done!

Take Chu's luck as the driving force and Wu Hui's return as evidence.

Chu Jun felt his heart skip a beat and understood that this was a restriction on him and he could not break his oath.

"Mr. Chu, give the order."

"call!"

Between the dark clouds, a ray of sunshine fell from the sky, shining on the place where Chu Jun and Feng Yunshuo stood.

And with the summer wind, the continuous rain for several days also stopped briefly, and the sky showed its bright light.

Chu Jun felt the warmth on his face and chuckled.

"promise."

Following Chu Jun's order, the dark clouds over Chu Land... slowly receded.

And when the three paths of slaves becoming people, and the possibility that common people could also become scholars appeared in the ears of the Chu people -

"Did I hear wrongly?"

The people of Chu were confused and asked the person who read the order to say it again.

"..."

Hearing that the sound was indeed true, the Chu people were happy, but not much. On the contrary, the slaves were constantly surprised after hearing the sound.

As for the dignitaries of Chu State, they were all furious when they heard about it.

"The Lord of Chu is also a powerful person, how can he accept such conditions? No matter how capable Fengzi is, he is not worthy of what the Chu State is doing!"

None of the Chu nobles who had fled to Yangyue recognized this order.

But no matter what, the person who calls the shots in Chu State now is Chu Jun, who can represent the general trend of Chu State.

The general trend.

Feng Yun also started to follow the trend.

As for Zhaoyang later asking Feng Yun why he made this agreement.

Feng Yun only said——

It was originally a policy to turn slaves into people and stimulate their labor.

But Lord Chu was hesitant, and now, with this agreement, he will push forward the matter so that the class of slaves will disappear without leaving any trace.

As for why we should let common people become officials.

As high as the sky is, so high as the human heart is; as wide as the sky is, so wide is the human heart.

If people have not been promoted for generations, then the human race has also been without promotion for generations, which is not good for the human race.
