Chapter 42: Yu Messenger Chu (3)
Yu Xin, under the leadership of the diplomats of the Chu State, quickly entered the Chen City.
As Yu Xin sighed when he was outside the city, the scale of this Chen City, not to mention that compared with a first-class city like Handan in the Warring States Period, even the second-rate may not be ranked a little bit.
The size of the city is not large, and there are not too many people coming and going in the city, and it seems that there are only tens of thousands of people living in it.
Yu Xin sat in the carriage and walked around the tour, while sighing secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the Chu State, which had the potential to annex the world a few decades ago, had become what it is now just because of two generations of faint monarchs.
In this world ruled by man, the damage to the country is really too great for a mediocre monarch.
In the midst of Yu Xin's sigh, the convoy drove past Guocheng in Chencheng and began to enter the palace city through the north gate.
After entering the palace city, what appeared in front of Yu Xin was a yellow palace complex.
Since the ancestors of the Chu people can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor, it is natural for the Chu people to regard themselves as the heirs of the Yellow Emperor. From the perspective of the five elements, the Yellow Emperor belongs to Tude, and the color of Tude is yellow, so yellow naturally became the main color in the palace of Chu.
It wasn't until he entered the palace city that Yu Xin felt for the first time the heritage of Chu as one of the seven heroes of the Warring States as one of the seven heroes of the Warring States in these palace complexes full of thickness and majesty.
After a while, Yu Xin's carriage stopped in front of a most magnificent palace.
The diplomat of the State of Chu appeared again: "Lord Yu, this is the Feng Palace, my king and the ministers are already waiting in the palace, please." ”
Yu Xin nodded, got out of the carriage, and walked up the steps in front of him towards the Phoenix Palace.
A moment later, Yu Xin entered the main hall of the Phoenix Palace. Sure enough, as the diplomat of the Chu State said, hundreds of monarchs and ministers of the Chu State gathered together and waited for his arrival.
Yu Xin subconsciously put his eyes on the top of the main hall, where sat a man wearing a crown, dressed in a gorgeous costume, standing just thirty years old, with a national character face, looking quite square, this is the current monarch of Chu State, Chu Wang Yuan (Chu Kaoli Wang).
Yu Xin didn't dare to slack off, and saluted to Chu Wang Yuan: "Zhao Chen Yu Xin, I have seen the king." ”
Chu Wangyuan nodded calmly, and he couldn't hear anything in his voice: "No need to be polite, please get up." ”
Yu Xin got up and sat down in the place that had been prepared for him on the side.
As soon as Yu Xin sat down, a minister of Chu State spoke: "I don't know what happened to Yu Qing here?" ”
If the other two envoys of Zhao State, Su Dai and Zhao Sheng, were here, they would definitely think: "I have seen this scene......"
Well, for hundreds of years, the Warring States period has been a fixed diplomatic routine.
Yu Qing coughed lightly, knowing that it was time for her to speak.
"I believe that this time is really a matter of Zhao Chu uniting and resisting Qin."
"Fu Qin, gluttonous people, first get Guanzhong, then according to Bashu, and then seize the land west of the Wei River, and even use Zhang Yixiao's small people to deceive the Chu State, coveting the hearts of the countries is almost endless, and it is hateful!"
"Today, my Zhao State and the Qin people are fighting in the land of Changping, and it is urgent to fight each other, if we get the help of the Chu State, the Qin people will be defeated. In this way, Zhao can get the party, Chu can also return to Yingdu, and both sides can benefit. I wonder what the king thinks? ”
Yu Xinyang's words were sprinkled, although what he said was quite ordinary, but he basically explained what he wanted to say.
Then Yu Xin set his eyes on the head of Chu Wang Yuan, waiting for the answer of this Chu king.
But before Chu Wangyuan could make any reaction, a voice immediately sounded.
"Yu Qing's words are fallacious!"
Yu Xin turned his head and found that the person who spoke was a minister of Chu who was at least fifty years old with a square face and a large forehead, a beard under his chin, and white temples.
It is worth mentioning that the seat of this minister of Chu is the closest to Chu Wang Yuan, and he is also at the head of the ministers of Chu State.
Yu Xin took a deep breath and stared at the minister of the Chu State: "I don't know what kind of opinion Chun Shenjun has?" ”
That's right, this one who jumped out to refute Yu Xin is now the number one minister of Chu State, Chunshenjun Huang Xie among the "Four Gentlemen of the Warring States".
Huang Xie is now the Ling Yin of the Chu State, and the Chu State does not have a Xiang State, and the position of Ling Yin is equivalent to the power of the Xiang State of other countries, so this Chun Shen Jun Huang Xie can also be regarded as the Chu Xiang.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the position of Yin Zhi of Chu State has been monopolized by the three major clans of Zhao, Jing and Qu, and Huang Xie was able to break this monopoly, mainly because he made great efforts in the ascension of Chu Wangyuan and had the merit of supporting it, so he also won the trust of Chu Wangyuan and could be called Chu Wangyuan's right-hand man.
I saw that Huang Xie was not in a hurry, first saluted to the head of Chu Wang Yuan, and then said: "In the opinion of the ministers, the Qin State is now in full swing, the Qin Wangji is authoritative, and there are millions of soldiers, and it is difficult for all the countries in the world to be in charge." ”
"On the other hand, I am Dachu, the country is withering today, it is the time to recuperate and recuperate in order to make a comeback, at this time, you must not use the sword and soldiers, and the Qin State should also be friendly and friendly, how can you help Zhao attack Qin? If you help Zhao, then the white generation will lead the Qin army to come again, so what can you do? ”
Obviously, Huang Xie, who has been in the Qin State for a while, feels that there is no chance of winning the war with the Qin State at all, don't attract Bai Qi, the killing god, when the time comes, let's rest and recuperate honestly, don't get involved in the of Changping, and talk about it when we recover our strength.
As the Ling Yin of the Chu State, Huang Xie naturally has no shortage of echo worms, so as soon as his voice fell, many ministers of the Chu State opened their mouths in agreement, and even Chu Wangyuan, who was sitting at the top, nodded slightly, with great approval.
Yu Xin frowned, and was about to refute and save the situation, but someone on the side preemptively spoke: "Ling Yin's words are a big mistake!" ”
This voice was high and urgent, and instantly suppressed all the voices of Huang Xie's faction.
Everyone turned their heads one after another, and found that the person who spoke turned out to be a general, this general was about forty years old, with a long face and an eagle nose, and extremely sharp eyes, this is the famous general of Chu State, and now Sima Jingyang, the great master of Chu State.
The position of Da Sima was equivalent to the deputy commander of the army in later generations, and his position in the army of Chu was only below Ling Yin Huangxie, so Jingyang was also one of the important ministers of Chu.
I saw this Jingyang glaring at Huang Xie and shouted: "Lord Ling Yin, there is no seed!" When have I ever been afraid of other countries? Now that Qin Guolao and Zhao Ren are fighting in Shangdang, it is an opportunity to recover the lost territory from the hands of the Qin people, how can they miss it? King, don't listen to Ling Yin's words! ”
After all, this Jingyang is from a military background, and his personality is straightforward, and his speech is the same.
As soon as Jingyang's words came out, he was naturally refuted by Huang Xie's faction.
But Jingyang is not the only one, there are three families of Qu, Jing and Zhao behind him, and Jingyang is the core figure of the Jing family. These three families were originally very dissatisfied with Huang Xie, an "outsider" who robbed Ling Yin's position, so at this moment, they also took advantage of the topic, and the three ministers rushed up and attacked Huang Xie and his faction.
Huang Xie's side naturally did not show weakness,-for-tat, and the two sides suddenly had a war of words.
Although Huang Xie's power is now in full swing, after all, the three major families have been rooted in the Chu State for hundreds of years, and their strength is also not to be underestimated.
This quarrel lasted for several hours, because the split of opinions within the Chu State was too serious, and there was no result in the quarrel when the sun was about to set, even if Chu Wangyuan slapped the table a few times, it was useless.
Seeing that the sun was about to set outside the hall, Yu Xin, the envoy of Zhao State sitting in the hall, was hungry and irritable in his heart, and when he didn't know how to solve the situation, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the main hall, attracting Yu Xin's attention.
Who dared to enter the temple at such an important juncture?
Yu Xin subconsciously glanced at this person, and then let out a startled sound.
Why did Mao Sui come?
