The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 32 Five Emperors [Please collect and recommend]

"I need to verify something!" After leaving Yangling, Yan Yan set up his chariot and went straight to Cheng Fu.

He snatched the chariot from Yangling Jun's Mansion, and the road from Yangling to Chengfu could support the chariot running wildly.

The wind whistled past his ears, and Shao Siming, with a pale face, held on to the pillars of the canopy on the chariot.

"What did Confucianism teach him?" Dongjun, Yueshen and Da Siming looked at the chariots whizzing past and running away in confusion.

Is there anything else this guy can't do?

Is this a chariot thing that ordinary people can learn?
Finally, before dawn, Yan Yan and Shao Siming arrived at Chengfu City. Shao Siming turned around and disappeared on the chariot.

Yan Yan abandoned the chariot, blended into the crowd, lined up to enter the city, and did not appear next to the chariot outside the city again until night.

"I want to go to Xinmai!" Yan Yan continued as he looked at Shao Siming who was guarding the chariot.

There was a bit of fear in Shao Siming's eyes, but he still stepped onto the chariot.

"Don't force it!" Yan Yan said hesitantly.

A chariot is not something that ordinary people can control, and even just riding in a chariot is not something that ordinary people can sustain.

Shao Siming did not speak, but expressed his attitude by holding the canopy pillars of the chariot.

Yan Yan didn't say anything more, and drove his horse towards Xinmaicheng again.

Only then did Shao Siming notice that even if the war horse was running at top speed, the sound of the bells on the horse's neck and the bells on the chariot were in harmony, and the chariot could perfectly avoid all potholes and walk smoothly. Flatland is generally galloping.

It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to drive a chariot, let alone such a superb skill.

"Charioting is also one of the six arts of a gentleman, which is called the Five Chariots. The Five Chariots refer to the five skills of driving a chariot, which are divided into:

Ming and Luan: It means that the sound of the Luan corresponds to the sound of the car when driving.
Chasing water car: galloping along the curved bank without falling into the water
Passing the emperor's watch: it is etiquette to pass the emperor's watch
Dancing Intersection: Driving freely through the aisle

Chasing birds to the left: Chasing animals and shooting from the left side when hunting
I'm still a little behind. I can only sing Heluan, Zhushuiche and Wujiaoqu, but I haven't tried the other two! "

Yan Yan explained to Shao Siming humbly.

Shao Siming remained silent, even closing his eyes and not daring to watch the scenery whizzing by around him.

The chariot once again arrived at Xinmaicheng before dawn, and Yan Yan abandoned the chariot again and sneaked into the city, only to reappear at night.

Only this time, Yan Yan looked extremely heavy.

"I still need to verify some things, please help me keep these things!" Yan Yan left the book box and Long Yuan to Shao Siming, and did not invite her to get in the car again. Instead, he drove the chariot alone and headed towards Return the way you came.

"Buzz~" Long Yuan trembled in the scabbard, as if something was reviving.

Shao Siming looked at the long sword in the scabbard, stretched out his hand to hold the hilt, and then calmed Long Yuan down.

Seeing Yan Yan's back speeding away in his chariot, after hesitating for a moment, Shao Siming picked up the book box and headed straight for Juyang with Long Yuan in hand.

She could guess where Yan Yan went, so although she couldn't keep up with the speed of the chariot, she knew the destination and could get there as soon as possible.

In two days, the news of Lord Yangling's murder finally spread to Juyang and reached the ears of King Chu.

The King of Chu was extremely angry, and the entire Chu court was shocked!

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period, there were very few regicides, and all were major events that shocked the world.No matter what, Lord Yangling is still the feudal lord of Chu State, the king!They are the top nobles, not ordinary nobles!
Even if he is guilty, he should not die in an assassination, but should be judged by the King of Chu.

Therefore, the King of Chu immediately sent a special envoy to Yangling to learn the truth and track down the murderer.

It's just that the King of Chu's special envoy returned without success this time. It wasn't that he didn't know who the murderer was, or that he couldn't find out who it was, but that the people in Yangling helped conceal Yan Yan's whereabouts so that they couldn't find him out at all. A hint of Yan Yan’s whereabouts.

"This matter cannot be made public!" Huang Xie went to the palace overnight to meet with the King of Chu.

They were very clear about what Yangling Lord had done, and they even said that the blame was not only on Lord Yangling!

"What do you want to tell me?" King Chu looked at Huang Xie coldly.

One of the reasons for his anger was that Lord Yangling actually dared to deceive his superiors and deceive his subordinates, and corruptly lost the pensions paid to the soldiers who died in battle!

"The national treasury actually only paid less than [-]% of the pensions for these fallen soldiers!" Huang Xie said with a sigh.

After years of wars, the Chu State's treasury had already been emptied, and there was simply not enough money to pay out full death benefits.

The reason why they attacked and destroyed Lu and also attacked Qi was to use Lu's treasury and Qi's compensation to replenish the treasury.

However, money is never enough!

Many death pensions have also been delayed again and again. Until now, many pensions have not actually been paid.

"What!" King Chu looked at Huang Xie in disbelief.

Huang Xie helplessly spread his hands and explained the reason. Some of them could no longer find their families. Because of the wars in the past years, the capital of Chu was moved again and again, and the people followed suit.

Because there was no money, Chu State also deliberately did not re-register and reissue the death pension. It deliberately ignored it and let time bury everything.

Chu State is also the only feudal country today, so it follows the war routine of the Zhou Dynasty. The big nobles bully the small nobles, and the small nobles bully the people, exploiting them at all levels. The royal family is the largest noble in Chu State.

It wasn't that Lord Yangling really wanted to embezzle the pensions for those killed in battle, but that the Chu State didn't pay out much pensions at all, and Lord Yangling had to pay most of the money himself.

So Lord Yangling followed suit and asked the vassal nobles below to distribute the money. In the end, it turned out to be what Yan Yan saw.

"Therefore, this matter cannot be a big deal and must be concluded immediately, starting with Lord Yangling and ending with Lord Yangling!" Huang Xie said.

King Chu was silent for a long time, and finally agreed with Huang Xie, "Let Yin have full authority to handle it!"

"Also, Gongyang Zimo must die! He knows too much, and Confucianism cannot control what he says, so he must be killed before he spreads it out!" Huang Xie continued.

"Then the Gongyang family will be offended!" King Chu looked at Huang Xie and said.

"When the rams are together, they can afford to offend!" Huang Xie sighed. He didn't want to offend the Confucians easily, but he couldn't do it anymore.

"Then go ahead and do it, keep your hands and feet clean!" In the end, King Chu didn't say anything else, and it was up to him to negotiate with Confucianism.

"Your Majesty, please retire!" Huang Xie bowed and retreated, leaving the Chu Palace.

"Find a few people with clean hands and feet and kill him!" Returning to Chunshenjun's Mansion, Huang Xie immediately asked the retainers to take action.

It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. It's time for the disciples who have been raising troops for so long to play their role.
