Wei Wuhou

Chapter 780 Xiong Jun's Butcher Knife
The war in the north has just stopped, and the changes in Qi and Zheng have caused the north, which had just calmed down, to fall into turmoil again.

And the deeds of Weihou threatening the Zhou family shocked all the princes and countries. It turns out that Wei State has become so powerful!

When Wei Zhaohou was in power, the state of Wei was suppressed by the princes in the north, but now the state of Qin has been defeated, and the small states of the princes have been directly destroyed.

Even Wei Wuji directly came to Zhou's room, showing off his martial arts and prestige to the whole world!
The north is full of splendor, but the south has also been at war in recent years, and the battle between Chu and Wu is no less exciting than the north.

Chu State is stronger than Wu State, but because Qin State is behind them, they can't attack Wu State with all their strength, and they have to guard against their own backs at all times.

But when the war broke out between Qin State and Wei State, Chu State found that it could throw off its arms and fight, so the scale of the war between the two countries suddenly increased.

The final direction of the war was not unexpected. While Wei Wuji in the north attacked Qin, Chu also defeated Wu and occupied a large area of ​​Wu.

…………

The capital of the Chu Kingdom is Ying, and a fight is taking place in a palace in the capital of Ying.

"Brothers, kill..."

Qiyun Palace is the palace of Mrs. Cheng, Duke Chu's concubine. It is heavily guarded on weekdays, and no one would dare to do anything wrong here.

But at this moment, Qiyun Palace is full of swords, lights and swords, and Mrs. Cheng, who is deeply loved by Duke Chu, is hugging her eight-year-old son, hiding in the deep corner of the palace and shivering.

She also didn't understand why such a sudden change happened. Could it be that someone wanted to rebel?

Not to mention, Mrs. Cheng guessed it right. There are indeed people who are going to rebel at this time.

"Brothers, go in, kill Cheng Ji's mother and son, and reward you with a thousand gold!" At this time, a captain shouted loudly, just to boost morale and end the battle as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

After a few minutes, the shouts of killing from Qiyun Palace gradually subsided, and Cheng Ji's mother and son were brought before the school captain just now.

"Who are you guys?" Cheng Ji asked sharply, she had a certain aura after being in the top position for a long time,
But these words did not have the slightest deterrent effect in front of this group of soldiers who just killed someone, because these people were ordered to kill her.

Just now the school lieutenant took two steps forward, pulled out his sword and came in front of Cheng Ji and said, "Madam, the crown prince asked me to bring you a message... Today next year will be the memorial day for you and the seventh son!"

"Presumptuous, Xiong Jun, is he going to rebel?" Cheng Ji yelled angrily, and the enemy was the crown prince Xiong Jun whom she regarded as a thorn in the side.

The school lieutenant smiled, and then said: "The prince is about to succeed to the throne, how can it be called a rebellion? Ma'am, you can go at ease!"

Then the captain made a killing gesture, and several soldiers picked up their weapons and walked towards Cheng Ji's mother and son, scaring the seventh son into tears.

"How dare you... Your Majesty will not spare you! He will kill you everywhere!" Cheng Ji continued to curse.

Only the captain sighed and said: "Madam and son, you can talk to me about these things after I die!"

Then the butcher knife fell, splashing a pool of blood!
……

Outside the palace of Duke Chu's dormitory, there is also a tense look at this time. Hundreds of soldiers have surrounded this place, isolating it from the outside world.

Xiong Jun stood at the gate of the palace, behind him were the nobles of Yingdu, and these people have now become his supporters.

Xiong Jun was wearing armor at this time, standing on the ground with a deep expression, making people wonder what he was thinking.

Behind him, someone reported to him: "Prince, there is news from Qiyun Palace that Cheng Ji's mother and son are dead!"

Knowing this time, Xiong Jun raised his head. After hearing this, the nobles behind him also had more smiles on their faces.

Just when others were about to congratulate Xiong Jun, Xiong Jun stepped into the palace gate, so that others could only stand and watch.

When Xiong Jun got closer to his father's dormitory, his heart became heavier. His behavior of rebelling against his father was not tolerated in this era.

But he has no choice, he will be the one who is unlucky if he doesn't do anything!
So under the instigation of those nobles, Xiong Jun launched this rebellion and killed his seventh brother.

Regardless of his young age, his seventh brother is his father's favorite son, and he has won the support of some big families in Yingdu, so Xiong Jun insisted on his death.

When Xiong Jun came to the entrance of the main hall, he was stunned when he was about to push the door open. He didn't know how to face it, or how to deal with his father.

Just as he was thinking about this, an old voice came from the hall and said, "Since you are here, come in!"

This voice was very familiar to Xiong Jun. He never thought that his father was not defeated and could still talk to him normally.

At this time, Xiong Jun did not show any timidity, he opened the door and walked in, but saw his father sitting on the throne in the main hall, looking straight at him.

"Greetings to father!" Xiong Jun said calmly, he should have called Duke Chu his lord.

This was a great disrespect, but Chu Gong Xiong Fu didn't care about it, he just listened to him and said: "What a hero Wei Hongyi is, he is not as good as him in conquering the kingdoms and widows, but there is one thing he can't compare to me..."

At this time, Xiong Jun didn't talk much, but pretended to be listening, so Xiong Fu continued: "Wei Hongyi is only fifty-two years old, but the widow is over sixty years old!"

Xiong Fu is 61 years old, so he is now a real old man with gray temples, and he is not convinced that he was young and strong, which is one of the reasons why Xiong Jun dared to rebel.

Hearing this, Xiong Jun didn't understand what his father meant, so he kept silent.

Then I heard Xiong Fu continue: "But at this time, the widow is not as good as him, at least he died of illness back then, but the widow died at the hands of his son!"

Xiong Jun still didn't speak. What his father said was the truth. From the time of his rebellion, he had to cut off all the thorns in his path. Duke Chu was also one of the thorns.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, after a long time Xiong Juncai said: "Son, there is no other way!"

Xiong Fu saw these things clearly. He knew that in Xiong Jun's situation, there was no way out except to fight back.

At this time, Xiong Fu asked again: "How is Lao Qi's mother and son?"

Xiong Jun said: "They have already gone downstairs to wait for father!"

Xiong Fu couldn't help but startled, and then tears rolled down his face, making him look even older.

But then he laughed loudly and said: "Okay... good kill, if you are a king, you will die, and you will use whatever means to achieve your goal, good..."

Seeing his father's crazy appearance, Xiong Jun couldn't bear it at this time, but then suppressed this thought.

At the same time, Xiong Jun said again: "The heart of a king is as hard as a stone. My son learned this from his father. The son is a crown prince. If the father says he will abolish it, he will want to abolish it!"

Xiong Fu couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then he heard him say: "The Yingdu family pushed you forward, do you think it's a good thing? Can you control it?"

This is actually a point of view from the side, the reason why Xiong Fu wanted to abolish Xiong Jun as the crown prince, because Xiong Jun and the Yingdu family got too close.

In fact, since Wei Zhaohou presided over the reform of the Wei State, all countries have seen the negative impact on the entire country after the power of the aristocratic clan became stronger.

Duke Chu naturally saw all this, so when he found out that the prince was getting mixed up with the family, he had the idea of ​​abolishing the prince.

The more Xiong Jun was supported by the aristocratic family, the more Xiong Fu was thinking about abolishing the crown prince.

Facing his father's questioning, Xiong Jun said: "The son knows what his father is worried about. Now that the state of Wu has been defeated by our great Chu, my son will lead the state of Chu to destroy Wu. With this power, the family will be deterred!"

Xiong Fu said at this time: "As long as you know that the family needs to be on guard, you don't have to worry too much as a father!"

But at this time, Xiong Fu replied: "Now that Marquis Wei has defeated Qin, and has destroyed several countries in a row, and his troops are powerful in Shangluo... he is even more difficult to deal with than his father Wei Hongyi. Your burden in the future will only become heavier." Heavy!"

When he heard the word Weihou, he won the Xiong Jun of the entire Chu country, and he felt heavy in his heart.

When he propped up Chu's back, he and Wei Wuji became destined opponents, which made him feel flustered.

Even though he had military merits in the battle against Wu, when Xiong Jun compared his record with Wei Wuji, he always felt like a clown.

It took nearly six years for Chu State to defeat Wu State, thanks to the final battle between Qin State and Wei State, which allowed Chu State to fight freely.

But it took Wei Wuji less than three months to defeat Qin...

Xiong Jun didn't dare to think about how big the gap was, because it would only hurt people more.

"Father teaches, son remembers!" Xiong Jun bowed deeply.

After saying this, Xiong Jun took off his sword and placed it in the center of the hall, and then he went out.

When he stepped out of the hall step by step, he heard a voice behind him saying: "Remember, in the face of Wei Guo, the main thing is to be defensive, so that our Great Chu will be invincible!"

Xiong Jun didn't turn around and didn't speak, he already had a plan on what to do next, and he didn't need others to teach him.

And starting tomorrow, Chu State will enter a new era!
