Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Chunshen Jun took the order immediately, and then left quickly with Li Si.

After Chunshenjun and Li Si left, King Chu's eyes once again set on Jingyang, who had been stunned, and said coldly: "Da Sima, don't you have anything to say so far?"

Jingyang woke up suddenly, and knelt down in front of him with a bang: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of not educating my people well, so that I became a scum like Jingyou.

But I swear, I really didn't know about the assassination. "

Jingyang kowtowed and bled profusely after a while.

At this moment, Jingyang also came back to his senses, knowing that this matter was too serious and not only a dispute within Chu State, but also involved Zhao State, the most powerful country in the world, and Wu Xinjun Zhao Kuo, the No. 1 general in the world. Not to mention Jingyou, even Jingyang's life must be confessed!Looking at the distressed Jingyang, several important ministers of the state of Chu were sitting in the hall, staring intently as if they had never known Jingyang.

Even Jingyang's staunch allies Zhaozhong and Qufeng didn't say a single word.

Everyone knows that Jingyang is in big trouble this time!

Chapter 208 Wu Xinjun Was Surprised

The King of Chu stared at Jingyang coldly and did not speak for a long time.

If it is from the bottom of Chu Wang's own heart, he actually wanted to kill Jingyang a long time ago.

Not only Jingyang, but the three major families Zhao, Jing, and Qu all want to get rid of, because these three families have now become a cancer that greedily sucks blood on Chu!But King Chu knew he couldn't do this.

Killing Jingyang is tantamount to a formal break with the three major families. The power of the three major families has now completely spread to every corner of Chu State. The great loss of national strength will give other vassal states the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The King of Chu took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said coldly, "Da Sima, get up."

Jingyang immediately stopped kowtowing and stood up, the blood on his forehead was left directly from the bridge of his nose, he looked quite embarrassed and a bit ferocious.

The King of Chu said indifferently: "From today onwards, you will spend a month of contemplation behind closed doors at home, you will be fined for three years, and you will be demoted to a lower rank! Do you have any opinions on these?"

Jingyang let out a long breath, and said respectfully: "I don't have any opinions at all, Your Majesty is wise!"

As long as he can escape this difficulty, it is a trivial matter for Jingyang to think about mistakes behind closed doors, fine his salary and demote him to nobility.

The King of Chu nodded and said, "Okay, I'm tired too, let's all go down! From now on, if I find out that there are still people who want to do something small to the envoys of other countries, I will definitely punish my whole family, there is no joke!"

With the effect of Jingyang's "killing chickens to scare monkeys" just now, King Chu's murderous declaration made everyone present nervous, and they all stood up and respectfully agreed.

After a while, Jingyang walked out of the hall with a depressed mood.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhao Zhong and Qu Feng rushed over one after another.

Zhaozhong comforted: "Don't worry, Da Sima, it's just a small setback."

Qu Feng said softly: "The king was so angry just now, I really can't persuade you, please forgive me, Da Sima."

Jingyang reached out and wiped the blood on his head with his sleeve, and couldn't help but sneered after hearing Zhaozhong and Qufeng's words.

Not good advice?

I'm afraid I wish I were dead at all, so Jing's changing to a new Patriarch will be at your mercy, right?

Regardless of the fact that the three major families are allies now, it is because the king of Chu and Lord Chunshen are pressing them every step of the way so that they have to hug each other for warmth. The hatred is also deep.

After all, Jingyang did not vent the anger in his heart, because he knew that it would not help the matter, and would only make the Zhao family and the Qu family farther away from the Jing family that is now in trouble.

Therefore, Jingyang could only let out a long sigh.

"I thought I could make a good calculation of Zhao Kuo, but now alas, it was calculated by Zhao Kuo instead!"

In the words, there is a strong sense of helplessness and dissatisfaction!Yangxia City, Jingyou Mansion.

Zhao Kuo sat up from the bed and stretched vigorously: "Ah, the weather is so sunny today."

Two maids from Jingyou Mansion walked in tremblingly, helping Zhao Kuo to dress and wash.

These two maids are the kind of petite maids that I feel pity for, and after Xu Li's "appraisal", they have absolutely no martial arts skills, so it can be said that they are very safe.

Since the entire mansion is now under the control of Chi Youjun, Zhao Kuo even had a pretty good breakfast.

Xu Li appeared in front of Zhao Kuo: "I have seen the king!"

Zhao Kuo nodded and said with a smile: "This meat soup is not bad, Uncle Xu, would you like some?

By the way, have all the meals for Chi Youjun been arranged? "

Xu Li said: "The minister and Chi Youjun have already eaten, thank you for your concern."

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "What's happening outside?"

Xu Li said: "The Chu army outside didn't seem to dare to attack aggressively, but they sent a few people to sneak in.

Junhou said before that you can't kill people at will, so I stripped them naked and threw them out. "

Zhao Kuo blinked and laughed: "It will be better to remember to hang it on the flagpole next time."

Xu Li said seriously: "Your Majesty, I always feel that it is not safe to go on like this, or we will cover you and kill you."

Don't look at the 3000 people outside, but when Xu Li said this, he was full of confidence.

Because he led the Chi You Army!Zhao Kuo laughed: "No, we can't go."

If he leaves, the mission of this trip will directly fail.

Xu Li was a little anxious: "My lord, both Li Si and Han Fei have left for two days and haven't come back. It shows that the Chu people have bad intentions. Don't you see it?"

Zhao Kuo rubbed his chin and said, "If I'm not wrong, the King of Chu didn't actually want to make things difficult for us. The only ones who want to make things against us are the three major families headed by the Jing family."

Xu Li couldn't help being dubious when he heard the words, and it was obvious from his expression that he was mostly doubtful.

Zhao Kuo poured the last spoonful of meat soup into his mouth as he spoke, and said with a smile, "If Ben Hou guessed correctly, the matter should be resolved sooner or later in the afternoon or evening."

As soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, an officer of the Chi You Army came quickly: "Your Honor, all the Chu troops outside have retreated, and a man who claimed to be Yin Chunshen, Lord of Chu, and Huang Xie came, and wanted to see you. waiting."

Under the background of Xu Li's surprised expression, Zhao Kuo stood up with a smile: "I didn't expect the Chu people to come faster than Benhou expected. Let's go, Uncle Xu, let's welcome this Chunshen." Jun."

After a while, Zhao Kuo saw Chun Shenjun at the gate of the mansion.

Chunshen Jun rushed over with a few entourages, and held Zhao Kuo's hand very kindly: "Wu Xin Jun was frightened. I, Huang Xie, have nothing to do under my rule. I also ask Wu Xin Jun to come down!"

As soon as Zhao Kuo heard this, he knew that Lord Chunshen was an old politician, and he skillfully took the blame that belonged to the King of Chu to himself first. No wonder he has won the trust of the King of Chu for so many years.

Zhao Kuo naturally reciprocated Chunshenjun's kindness, and said with a smile, "What did Chunshenjun say? This Marquis already knew that it was a small accident. You see, apart from the assassin, not everyone else is there. Didn't die."

Chunshen Jun let out a sigh of relief when he heard the words. The reason why the Chu State Lingyin came so quickly was because he was afraid that the defenders of Yangxia City would not be able to hold back and wanted to use force to rescue Jing You and others, causing casualties. I was also worried that Zhao Kuo would kill here because he was angry because of the assassination. Now that these two worries have not happened, it is naturally a good thing for Chun Shenjun.

Chunshenjun smiled and said, "Mr. Wuxin's eyes are as bright as torches. I admire you, I admire you."

While talking, the two walked into the lobby and took their seats.

After a while, Yangxia Lingjingyou and several Yangxia city officials were brought into the hall by Chi Youjun.

When Jing You saw Mr. Chunshen, he shouted excitedly: "Mr. Hou, you are finally here. Please explain to Mr. Wu Xin quickly. These are all misunderstandings, misunderstandings!"

Don't look at Chunshenjun and Zhao Kuo's happy face when they were chatting, but when he saw Jing Youzhi, his face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Jing You, you are incapable of doing things, and you make me feel embarrassed. Your honored guest Wu Xinjun was so frightened here, he is so stupid! Your Majesty has ordered that you should be left as a dead body for the sake of your hard work for the country, and you should kill yourself!"

Chapter 209 Talking About Ginseng

After such a big incident happened, especially after learning that Zhao Kuo was assassinated, Chu State had to give Zhao Kuo and Zhao State an explanation.

As the city guard of an important border town, the main person responsible for this matter, Jing You's death is undoubtedly an excellent confession.

This news fell in Jing You's ears like thunder, and Jing You was stunned for an instant, his face turned pale.

Jing You immediately came back to his senses, and immediately screamed and begged for mercy: "Chun Shenjun, I really didn't intend to murder Wu Xinjun, it was really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Chun Shenjun didn't pay attention to Jing You's begging for mercy, but said coldly, "Where is Li Yuan?"

The moment Zhao Kuo heard the name, his smile faltered suddenly.

Li Yuan?

Could it be that just after Chunshen Jun's words fell, a young man in his twenties or thirties suddenly stood up, drew his sword and stabbed fiercely at Jingyou.

Jing Ji was pampered and pampered, and at the moment he was so frightened that he couldn't react in time, so he was directly stabbed in the chest by Li Yuan's sword, and died instantly.

Seeing Jing You's body on the ground, Jun Shen also heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hands to signal his subordinates to drag the body away, then cupped his hands at Zhao Kuo and said, "You made Wu Xin laugh.

By the way, where is that Sima?

Bring people in! "

A moment later, a Chu general was escorted in by Chun Shenjun's followers, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang.

Chun Shenjun stared at this Sima, and said coldly: "Huang Zheng, how stupid you are, you dare to lead troops to surround the mansion and Wu Xinjun! As a member of this Marquis, you are so stupid. Jingyou, let's go to the underworld!"

Huang Zheng's face was earthy, and he repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, while Chunshen Jun was furious, yelling at Huang Zheng.

Zhao Kuo squinted his eyes at this scene, and finally sighed after a long while, and said slowly, "Since he is the younger brother of Lord Chunshen, and he didn't cause any harm to the Marquis, this matter is fine." Alright."

Zhao Kuo is not stupid, just now when Mr. Chunshen came up with Jingyou, he killed Jingyou with a single sentence, but now Huang Zheng scolded him for a long time but did not pronounce a sentence. The meaning is not obvious?

If Zhao Kuo insisted, of course he could kill Huang Zheng, but as Zhao Kuo said just now, no battles and casualties broke out, and letting Huang Zheng go would also make Chun Shenjun owe Zhao Kuo a favor. For Zhao Kuo On the contrary, it is a more favorable result for this mission.

Sure enough, after Zhao Kuo opened his mouth, Chunshenjun immediately interjected: "Master Wu Xinjun has a lot of high moral character, which really makes me admire, admire."

After praising Zhao Kuo, Jun Shen turned his gaze to Sima Huang Zheng, and said coldly: "Huang Zheng, did you hear that too?

For the sake of rescuing Yang Xia Ling Jingyou, I will remove you from the position of Sima this time, and if there is a severe punishment next time!Hurry up and kowtow to Wu Xinjun to thank you! "

Huang Zheng kowtowed to Zhao Kuo several times before being led away by Jun Shenjun's guards.

In addition, there were several Chu officials who were present that day and were detained by Zhao Kuo in the mansion. Although Chunshen Jun did not execute them, he also directly deprived these officials of their positions without mercy. , and announced the new sun summer order and new officials on the spot.

Zhao Kuo watched coldly from the sidelines, thinking that Lord Chunshen really deserves to be a figure who can stand up to the three major families of Chu with the support of King Chu and even gain the upper hand. His proficiency in handling political affairs alone is quite convincing. , It can be said that he is a real old politician.

After dealing with these matters, Jun Shen turned his gaze to Zhao Kuo again, and said with a smile, "Jun Wu Xin was shocked.

Come, let's change places, I want to treat Wu Xinjun well! "

To Zhao Kuo's surprise, Lord Chunshen also had a mansion in Yangxia City.

It turned out that this Yangxia city was actually one of Chunshenjun's fiefs back then, so there was this mansion.

Later, because Yangxia City would always be attacked by Qi and Wei, Chunshen asked the King of Chu to move all the fiefdoms to the old places of Wu and Yue, namely Gusu and Kuaiji, in order to preserve his strength a few years ago. generation.

Although the fief has been moved, Lord Chunshen naturally has some privileges as the Lingyin of the Chu State, so it is not a problem to keep a mansion.

This mansion is even more luxurious than the mansion of Yangxia Lingjingyou. There are not only rockery and lakes, but also a small garden and horse farm, which made Zhao Kuo, a guest from the north, intuitively feel the state of Chu for the first time. Ling Yin's power.

Many delicacies were delivered non-stop, coupled with the fragrance of fine wines from Chudi, the atmosphere of Zhao Kuo's mission this time finally returned to normal.

During the banquet, Zhao Kuo pretended not to point at a person in the banquet and smiled at Chunshen Jun: "My lord, I just saw this young strong man named Li Yuan and I always feel that there is something familiar about it. Could it be that I was there before?" Have you seen the place?"

Chunshen Jun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, this Li Yuan is the old man's steward, and his sister is my king's Mrs. Li.

By the way, he is still from Handan in your country of Zhao. Perhaps it is possible that Junhou really met him sometime. "

Looking at Li Yuan, who stood up and respectfully bowed to him, Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile, and finally confirmed his previous guess that this Li Yuan was really the one recorded in the history books.

What did Li Yuan do in history?

Huang Xie, Chunshen Lord in the "Four Princes of the Warring States Period" who is having a good time with Zhao Kuo now, will be killed by Li Yuan himself in the future!Now Li Yuan turned out to be Chunshenjun's housekeeper, which was the same as Xu Li's position in the Zhao residence. Doesn't this mean that Li Yuan is now Chunshenjun's number one confidant?

Zhao Kuo's thoughts flashed, and he thought that maybe Nightingale, an intelligence organization under his command, could start from this aspect and make a good article in Chu State!Just when Zhao Kuo's thoughts were turning, Chun Shenjun suddenly raised his wine glass, and asked Zhao Kuo a question with a smile: "Mr. Wu Xin, I heard that there is a kind of magic medicine in your country, ginseng, which is famous among princes, and I have used it several times. This time, the effect is indeed quite miraculous."

Zhao Kuo paused for a moment, then smiled as if he understood something: "It turns out that Lord Chunshen is also interested in ginseng?

To be honest with Chunshenjun, Benhou still brought some ginseng this time, and he will send two carts to Chunshenjun later. "

Chun Shenjun laughed, waved his hands and said, "No, Wu Xinjun misunderstood.

That's right, Ben Hou visited Qi State some time ago, and heard from Qi Xiang Hou Sheng that Jun Hou is now in charge of Zhao Guo's ginseng affairs, and even gave Hou Sheng a general agent of Qi State? "

Only then did Zhao Kuo come back to his senses, and looked at Jun Shen in a little surprise.

Originally, Zhao Kuo was a little worried that the ginseng business was a "merchant business", so he planned to find an opportunity to test whether this Chunshen Jun was interested, but he didn't expect this one to be straightforward and took the initiative to talk about this matter.

That's great too!

Chapter 210 Finalization and Infiltration

Zhao Kuo looked at Mr. Chunshen in front of him, and instantly made a comment.

Good man!He rushed over to rescue Ben Hou and apologize, and now he still wants to do business with Ben Hou and make Ben Hou rich. What do you mean if he is not a good person?

Zhao Kuo's eyes flickered slightly, looked around at everyone present, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my lord is actually quite interested in developing ginseng sales channels in the state of Chu, but" Mr. Chunshen understood. , waved his hand towards the crowd in front of him: "Wait, let's have a banquet here, and Wu Xinjun and I will go for a walk!"

A moment later, Chunshen Jun and Zhao Kuo walked side by side in the garden of the mansion.

It was a night with a bright moon and few stars. The bright moonlight fell from the sky, covering everything on the earth with a faint silver glow. The air was filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, and crickets and frogs were chirping one after another.
