Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 53 Talking to Oneself
Shouchun, the capital of Chu State.

Two months ago, the spring grass was full and the flowers were harmonious. There were many business travelers and people in Shouchun City.

Unfortunately, a few months ago, Li Yuan ambushed the assassins at the Thorny Gate. After Chun Shenjun entered the Thorny Gate, the assassins swarmed in and stabbed Huang Xie to death.

This famous official known as one of the four sons of the Warring States Period ended in Shouchun.

The people of the country just received a shocking news after the funeral for King Chu Kaolie, Chunshen Jun was assassinated to death by an assassin.

Li Yuan used the excuse that Chun Shenjun was plotted by people from the Six Kingdoms, and was assassinated by an assassin.

After the people heard that the well-known Lord Chunshen had been stabbed to death, they rushed to mourn for Huang Xie.

When Xiao Zhinu came to Chu State from thousands of miles away, he found that the people in the city were wearing white linen clothes and mourning for Huang Xie.

Before entering the city, I heard the people in the city wailing loudly, as if my own father had died, wailing non-stop.

If you don't ask and cross-examine carefully, you may even think that you are mourning the dead king Chu Kaolie.

Poor King Chu You, a majestic king of a country, but none of his ministers have great influence. If this spreads out, where will the country's face be?What is the majesty of the king of Chu?
It's a pity that the people of the country didn't understand, and they all felt sorry for Chunshen Jun. They kept calling Huang Xie's name, and some people even kowtowed to death, wanting to die with Huang Xie.

King Chuyou was dressed in white and stood in front of Huang Xie's mausoleum, personally mourning Lord Chunshen, but how could he know that his father was not King Chu Kaolie but Huang Xiena at such a young age?
King Chu Kaolie is old and weak, and he is about to fade away, but King Chu Kaolie has no heirs. According to the rules of establishing a heir, the brothers of King Chu Kaolie should inherit the throne.

But Huang Xie has been in power for several years, he has done things regardless of the consequences many times, and offended King Chu Kaolie's brothers several times.

If the brothers of King Chu Kaolie succeed to the throne, Huang Xie will be attacked first. Huang Xie's official career will not be guaranteed, and even innocent people will be harmed.

Therefore, when Huang Xie learned that his concubine Li Yan (Li Yuan's sister) had a child, he dedicated him to King Chu Kaolie and gave birth to King Chu You.

Unexpectedly, King Chu Kaolie naively thought that King Chu You was his own flesh and blood, so he appointed King Chu You as the prince and the heir apparent.

Only Li Yuan and Huang Xie knew about this news, so Li Yuan had to stab Huang Xie to death for his own career.

Chun Shenjun Huang Xie is famous among the princes, but a wise man is always worried, and he will make a mistake. He refused to listen to Zhu Ying's advice, but died at the hands of a villain, and suffered an innocent disaster.

I really don't know how King Chuyou would feel after learning the truth?Is it crying?Or accept it silently?Or keep silent?
Unknowingly, King Chu You thought that Huang Xie was a loyal minister of the Chu State who devoted himself to death and died. He personally guarded Huang Xie's tomb. Wouldn't the world laugh at him?

After witnessing the unprecedented grand occasion of the national mourning, the little Zhinu was almost executed by the guards of the city, but fortunately, the little Zhinu walked like flying and slipped away.

The capital city of Chu State is tightly guarded, and any disturbance in the wind will alarm the defenders, but the little childish slave, as a frog, can wander around the city swaggeringly.

After all, who would go after a frog?

Xiao Zhinu did not stay in the Shouchun market, but resolutely came to the mansion of Ling Yin (equivalent to the prime minister) of Chu State.

There are also many servants guarding Lingyin's mansion, and the security is tight. If a kitten or dog breaks in, they will be executed immediately.

Therefore, after Xiao Zhinu saw a cat executed by the guards of Ling Yin's mansion, he did not dare to act rashly.

Instead, he chose to sneak into Xiangguo's mansion quietly under the cover of night.

With light steps, Xiao Zhinu carefully walked along the wall, trying to sneak into the mansion through the back door.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on a branch and was expelled by the guards.

At this moment.

A four-wheel-drive carriage appeared outside Xiangguo's mansion. There was a middle-aged man in a black uniform and a Chu crown on his head. He had a straight nose, slightly sunken eye sockets, and light brown pupils. He was Chu Guoling. Yin Liyuan.

Li Yuan used to be only Huang Xie's attendant. He was Huang Xie's horse and horse, but a few days ago, he replaced Huang Xie as the new Lingyin. Control the government.

The guards who were sleeping soundly outside the mansion also stood up one after another, bent over and cupped their hands, and opened the mansion door for Ling Yin, not forgetting to say: "Welcome Lord Ling Yin."

Li Yuan used to be just one of them, humbly opening the door to Huang Xie, but now he turned his back on the guest and became the Prime Minister of a country.

After Li Yuan served as Lingyin, he first cleaned up the court of Chu State, pulled down the high-ranking and capable ministers, and even made them the guards of his own house.

Seeing the person who stepped on him in the past become a servant, Li Yuan felt extremely refreshed, his eyes fixed, and he said fiercely: "I didn't expect you to have today!"

But the smile was fleeting. There were rumors in the palace that Li Yuan secretly killed Huang Xie. The news spread to the market, and the people even wanted to confront Ling Yin.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan sighed helplessly. He didn't expect that although Jun Shenjun died, his followers were still willing to serve him, and they turned against him one after another, wanting to confront Li Yuan.

However, Li Yuan is naturally not a soft-hearted person, and he will soon carry out a second wave of cleansing of the Chu court.

Seeing the guards in the mansion clapping their hands and saluting one after another, the little childish slave seized the opportunity, hid under the carriage, and sneaked into the mansion quietly.

The guards also noticed something was wrong, but when they saw it was a frog, they didn't report it.

After all, just because a frog spoiled Mr. Ling Yin's elegance, he couldn't be scolded, but he would also be beaten with a stick.

A frog cannot be a spy from another country!

No matter how strange it is, it's just a beast, and it can't make any big waves.

The little child slave followed the carriage and sneaked into the mansion. This time, he witnessed the grand scene of Ling Yin's mansion with his own eyes.

The four walls of the mansion are made of granite, and the garden in the mansion is as big as half a football field. The wooden door is engraved with patterns of clouds, dragons and animals, and the open door is full of jewels and jade ornaments.

Compared with Xiangguo's Mansion in Qin State, Lingyin's Mansion in Chu State can be compared with palaces.

If the officials of Qin State saw it, how many people would be dumbfounded?

No wonder the ministers of the DPRK and China worked so hard to become Ling Yin, not only for power, but Ling Yin's mansion alone was enough to attract many powerful officials.

Looking at the huge Lingyin Mansion, Xiao Zhinu almost dropped his jaw in shock. The courtyard is too big, so he doesn't know where to go?

But Xiao Zhinu didn't come here to play. In order to relieve King Qin's worries, he came all the way to Chu State, was expelled by soldiers of Chu State, and faced death, just to sneak into Ling Yin's mansion.

According to the law of guards and patrols in the mansion, Xiao Zhinu can only move around in Lingyin's mansion.

at last.

Xiao Zhinu came to the window of Ling Yin's study, taking advantage of the absence of guards, Xiao Zhi Nu quietly stepped on the window, and heard Ling Yin talking to himself
