History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 202 Chu people Shang Hong·Sacrifice for fire

Suiren's fire turned into the morning glow in the east.

The cold wind in winter cannot blow away the warmth in the hearts of Chu people.

Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Chu people shed tears silently and sobbed.

Feng Yun looked around, and all the Chu people in Yingdu City had already rushed here to hear what he said about Chu.

Feng Yun accepted the Chu lantern and said softly: "The Zhurong of Fire is noble and respectful. He will not refuse every human who asks for fire from him. As a result, generations have changed and people think that fire is a common thing.

... But in pursuit of essence, people cannot do without fire."

Feng Yun squinted his eyes and looked to the east of Chu State. The dark red cloth and satin were shining brightly in the morning sun.

"Chu Hong, a very beautiful color."

"Red means fire."

"The foundation of etiquette is the five virtues."

"The fire of Chu sets the prairie fire, burning its old grass, waiting for the spring breeze to rise again, to grow new shoots, and to create the heaven and earth of Chu."

Feng Yun paused.

Fire is fierce, from the stars to the prairie fire. One time is enough. If there are many, it is not a good thing.

Then he added.

"The change of fire is also the change of thunder."

"Lei Ze gave birth to a child, nourished the people of Chu, and waited for the changes of the years to win the hearts of the people and build a country that will never stop."

Feng Yun explained the method of starting momentum and the way of perseverance.

He said to the king of Chu: "Fire is the gift of Chu... It has always been in the hearts of Chu people. As long as the red of Chu is not extinguished, the people of Chu will be like new shoots in the spring breeze. But the fire is big and uncontrollable. It may be virtuous and serve the people."

To be able to continue without resting and not eating back at oneself.”

This is an admonition to Lord Chu.

"Chu Lord, I will stay for another month or two to observe the state of Chu outside the capital of Ying. After writing "States of Chu", I will leave Chu. As for Chu Lord's farewell, there is no need."

Feng Yun said this, and did not want to say more.

This trip to the Chu Kingdom has already gone through a lot. Whether it is "The Kingdoms of Chu" or the question of Sui Renzu, Feng Yun is about to end.

"Fengzi, please leave the "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Chu" in Chu State. I want the history of Chu to spread to the hearts of the people." The Lord of Chu bowed to Feng Yun.

Zhaoyang, on the other hand, went to a distant place to bring the carriage over.

The Chu people around him did not retreat, but looked at him respectfully.

Following Zhaoyang's order, armored soldiers soon arrived to protect the surrounding areas.

It can be seen that these armored soldiers looked at Feng Yun with respect.

"I will keep it. Books are meant to be read by others."

Feng Yun nodded and left.

Lord Chu watched Feng Yun leave and took Mi Yue and Mi Shu back to the palace.

In addition to "The Kingdoms of Chu", Feng Yun used the murals of Chu and Chu lanterns as a guide, and integrated them into the destiny, which can enhance the power of the Prime Minister of Chu and also make the King of Chu want to explore.

The Chu lantern cannot be obtained, but it is enough to use the murals of Chu to consume the Chu lantern's destiny and reduce the fetters between Feng Yun and Chu's destiny.

Chu Jun thought about it and prepared to go to the clan to discuss it.

After all, the clan is in charge of the murals, which is closely related to the foundation of the Mi surname. Even as a monarch, this is not something he can decide alone.

…

What Feng Yun did in Chu country spread to all sides within a few days, and the surrounding countries all heard about the so-called despise of Chu people's ancestors. The virtues of Chu people's ancestors can be found.

He was laughing secretly and in a daze, as if he was laughing, which was his disapproval of Suiren's virtue.

What is the difference between a civilization of fire and barbarians?

This sentence gradually spread, and the legend of Suiren was constantly mentioned.

The virtue of Sui people is something that cannot be erased. Fire is also the beginning of civilization.

Wu Hui, the ancestor of the Chu people, the god of fire protection, cannot be explained by just looking at it.

Looking at what the barbarians said, it seems that those who laugh at it are unethical.

Many people lamented that Fengzi was the Chu State, and its reputation could be rectified with virtue. Because of this, some countries began to re-examine how to treat the Chu State's diplomacy.

Say less about the barbarians of Chu.

This made some people unhappy, especially Emperor Zhou, but the people's voice was overwhelming, not to mention——

"Wang, we agreed to go on a trip..."

Baosi's belly is swollen high, and her smile shows the tenderness of a woman.

Seeing that the beauty was pregnant with a child, the emperor immediately put aside Chu's troubles.

"Yes, yes, they all belong to the beauty."

Hearing this, Bao Si smiled tenderly and leaned into the emperor's arms.

The emperor hugged Baosi quickly.

"Your Majesty, the destruction of Yangyue by Chu State can be regarded as opening up territory for the king. Why don't you agree to the promotion?"

The beauty is in his arms, but the emperor is not just accommodating, he still says: "Humph, Chu State..."

"The reward for E is to reward the state of Chu. The state of Chu is just opportunistic and let King Yang Yue go. This does not count as revenge for the beauty."

Touching Baosi's little face, the emperor said: "When I take charge of the troops and horses, and then order the Sixth Division to go out to fight at that time, seize the land of Yangyue and Jingchu for the beauty, and then kill the king of Yangyue, then that will be

Revenge for the beauty...and open up territory for the widow."

When Bao Si heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

But when he lowered his head, his beautiful eyes were gloomy. It was obvious that this was just a pretense of catering.

Feng Yun...Feng Jun...Feng Zi...have you become such a sage?

…

The spring breeze blows.

The strong luck of Chu State helped Chu people survive the cold winter.

"The coldness after the beginning of spring was dispelled by the God of Fire..."

At this time, Zhaoyang came to report: "Fengzi, the king of Chu ordered you to draw a copy in front of the murals of Chu to add to the content of "States of Chu"."

Chu murals?

Looking at Zhaoyang, he nodded.

"Then thank you Chu Jun for your generosity."

Of course Feng Yun knew the reaction of Lord Chu when he saw that Prime Minister Chu's luck could enhance the power of Chu State.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhaoyang said: "Fengzi, Zhaoyang can't accompany Fengzi this time."

"The king of Chu has ordered that I need to go to the land of Yangyue to help Qu Yuan to govern Yangyue."

"Then who will follow me?"

It is impossible for Lord Chu to let Feng Yun stay alone in Chu State.

"Lao Dou Lian will accompany you."

Dou Lian.

Feng Yun nodded, indicating that he knew.

He thought again, Yang Yue...

"After I paint the murals of Chu State, I will go to the land of Yangyue."

Zhaoyang has no objection to this.

"Wherever Fengzi wants to go, he can naturally go."

Zhaoyangli.

Feng Yun packed up her things and prepared to go out.

Doulian drove his car and arrived in front of the Palace of Classics.

"Fengzi, I'm late, please forgive me."

"The elders of the country are polite."

The two of them greeted each other.

"How can we let Mr. Guo drive?"

Dou Lian laughed.

"Sima Zhaoyang can drive for Fengzi, why can't Doulian do it?"

"Fengzi, Dou Lian will take Fengzi into the forbidden area of ​​Chu State this time. Once he has a look at the murals, of course, Yu Wuling can only wait outside."

Dou Lian personally helped Feng Yun get into the car.

have no choice.

"The country is old and tired, but Feng Yun cannot bear it."

"Stop talking, Fengzi."

"Walk…"

The carriage moved through the streets.

When people passing by saw Feng Yun's bicycle frame, they all looked at it and respected it.

"Haha, it's because I'm driving Fengzi's chariot that I pay so much attention to him. When I go out on weekdays, I'm mostly afraid of the eyes."

Dou Lian sighed with emotion, and soon drove to the forbidden area of ​​Chu State.

Qu Xia was already waiting at this time.

"Feng Zi'an."

Qu Xia saluted Feng Yun, and many people with the surname Mi behind him also saluted.

At this time, things were completely different from the past.

Dou Lian on the side sighed inwardly: How could someone with the surname Mi from Chu State have ever been so respectful to someone with a foreign surname?

Looking at Feng Yun, Dou Lian couldn't help but respect him even more.

Feng Yun, Qu Xia and others met.

Qu Xia said: "With the order of the King of Chu, you can enter the forbidden area, paint and record the murals, and add to the book "Nations"."

After hearing this, Feng Yun nodded.

"Yunzi will tell you everything he has to say, and will not fall into the trust of the State of Chu."

Under the leadership of Qu Xia, Feng Yun stepped into the forbidden areas of Chu State.

The spring breeze is still cold, and the cave is full of cold air.

But the flames were blazing, and on the stone wall, a pair of murals exuded strange power.

"A map of mountains and seas?"

Looking around, I feel that these pictures are of the same origin, much like those recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

"It's a map of mountains and seas, but this is the original."

"The inheritance of the Chu State, the guardian of the Mi surname."

The Taoist rhyme overflows from the murals, which is not found in ordinary rubbings.

"Fengzi can describe it as he pleases, I am waiting for you at the entrance of the cave..."

Qu Xia pointed to the side, that was the fine silk that had been prepared, something that could be painted.

"Thank you." Feng Yun thanked him.

Qu Xia nodded and left slowly.

…

time flies.

The spring breeze blows again.

Because of Feng Yun's reputation, many Chu people hoped that Feng Yun would serve as an official in Chu State.

And in Andi, because it was Feng Yun's fiefdom, but it was barren and there were few people, so many Chu people wanted to live there and help Fengzi build Andi.

The relocation of Chu people is a major event and should not be done without authorization.

The King of Chu was helpless, but if he did not move the people to Andi, he would be afraid of hurting the people's feelings and spreading his harsh words towards Fengzi.

Next to him, Fei Wuji suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't we move some slaves? Anyway, there are mostly slaves in Andi."

After hearing this, the king of Chu was dissatisfied. There were too many people in Guangdong and it was difficult to control them.

Thinking back to what Feng Yun once said about how to calm the people.

He said: "Back then Fengzi had a plan to turn the people of Guangdong into Chu people, so let's take An Di as a test and implement this plan!"

With a wave of his hand, the King of Chu mobilized tens of thousands of Chu people to go to An to serve the people, established a Chu people's residence, and ordered the slaves' newborn sons to be raised in An. When they reached adulthood, they moved to various places to serve as people.

When the King of Chu's order came out, the people of Chu were happy, but also shocked.

There were endless discussions and questions, and the powerful and powerful people were also thinking about their strategies.

The King of Chu later added: This is Fengzi's strategy, which will benefit the country's morality.

This time, the people of Chu no longer had any doubts.

And the powerful can only silence them.

Whether this strategy is good or bad still needs to be tested with Andi.

At this time, they are not harmed, and we will wait and see what happens.

February·Spring Breeze——

Feng Yun recorded the murals of the Chu Kingdom and included them in "Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Chu". When the book was written, the heaven and earth were in different phases.

The dignitaries of Chu State were eagerly looking forward to it.

Following the huge Chu prime ministers who bear the sky, they fly up and merge into the national destiny of Chu State.

Every Chu person felt empowered, and all the diseases left behind by the cold wind were eliminated.

The dignitaries of the Chu State, who practiced the methods of Chu Xiang, also felt that the Chu Xiang they practiced had been enhanced.

The road is prosperous.

It can be said that everyone in Chu State is very happy!

When Feng Yun handed over "Chronicles of the Kingdoms to Chu" to the King of Chu.

"The Chronicle of the Kingdoms of Chu is about the origin of Chu. I hope that the Lord of Chu can understand the people of Chu. As for the strategy, the Lord of Chu will make his own decisions."

Feng Yun also casually said that he also kept the original. If someone wanted to see it, he would not be stingy. Chu Jun wanted to hide it, but he couldn't.

"Fengzi's virtues are known to all." After taking the book, Chu Jun felt the rich profound energy on it.

"When will Fengzi plan to leave Chu?"

Chu Jun asked, his tone was a little strange.

Unfortunately, Feng Yun's reputation in Chu State was too high at this time, and there were countless voices asking Feng Yun to become an official.

His heart was complicated and difficult to describe.

He was extremely fearful. He knew that Feng Yun's heart was not in Chu, but he was worried about how Chu people would view him, Xiong Shang.

Feng Yun thought: "I am going to Yangyue for a visit."

"In addition to their ambitions, all countries also have strategies, and their strategies must also be recorded."

When Chu Jun heard this, he nodded. It was good to be able to leave the capital of Ying temporarily, so he ordered Dou Lian to protect him.

"Fengzi can go to Chu Di at will."

After receiving the advice from the Chu Lord, Feng Yun set out soon and prepared to go to Yangyue.

The king of Chu ordered his people to engrave many books before the Qingming Dynasty and go to various places to study for the people of Chu.

At the same time, the Chu Shen Ancestral Temple was prepared to provide his books, so that Chu people could perform more sacrifices and remember the journey of honoring their ancestors.

When the state of Chu was prosperous, perhaps due to the long-term suppression of Zhou rites, there was a virtue of respecting ancestors at this time, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction among the Chu people.

…

At this time, Feng Yunfang left the capital of Ying and headed for the land of Yangyue.

In the capital city of Ying, a young man was saluting in front of Lord Chu.

Looking at it, he should be in his prime years.

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask Fengzi to serve as an official?"

In the palace, in addition to Lord Chu and this young man, there were also Qu Xia, Fei Wuji, Wu She and other important officials in the court.

Everyone wanted to talk about the establishment of the Chu Shen Ancestral Temple, but this young man stepped forward and asked him to ask Feng Yun to serve as an official.

Chu Jun's eyes narrowed slightly.

During this period, there were many voices among the people asking Fengzi to become an official, but no one in the court said anything about it.

At this time, Chu Jun did not expect that someone would say it.

And it’s still this guy.

"Wu She, is this what you teach?"

Chu Jun did not look at the young man who was saluting, but looked at Wu She.

Wu She was shocked.

"Your Majesty, this... Young Master Jian is young, and he is also thinking about the Kingdom of Chu at this time."

Wu She looked at the young man and sighed secretly, feeling extremely helpless.

But when he secretly looked at the courtiers, he saw Fei Wuji smiling secretly in the corner.

He was shocked again.

But Lord Chu glanced at the young man and Wu She and gave the order.

"If you don't know the affairs of the country, how can you know where Fengzi will be?"

"Order, Prince Jian, Wu She, and five thousand slaves to go to the sandy land of Chu to mine red copper, carry out the government of Chu State, become rich, and know the affairs of the state!"

The whole court was shocked as soon as this statement came out.

Red copper is more beneficial to the country than bronze.

When they occupied Yangyue Kingdom, it happened that Yangyue discovered a land of red copper.

Chu State naturally occupied it.

Nowadays, people from all ethnic groups are looking at this place, wanting to have a piece of it.

But at this time, the king of Chu actually punished Gong Zijian by sending him to mine...

Everyone in the court was very active. This was because the King of Chu was determined to reuse Gong Jian and pave the way for him.

Wu She lowered her head, joy flashing in her eyes.

Fei Wuji, who was in the corner, was annoyed and looked at Wu She fiercely.

Wu She frowned at this.

"Take Young Master Jian away, I don't want to see him now!"

"Nuo..." Wu She felt a little uneasy, but still pulled Young Master Jian away.

And this incident also spread out, and for a time, Gong Zijian's reputation also spread...

After Wu She returned to her residence, she packed her luggage.

Next to him, the eldest son Wu Shang has already retired from official service and became a sergeant.

And the second son, Wu Zixu, is also preparing to become an official...

Everyone congratulates Wu She for receiving this transfer order.

But Wu She was still worried.

It stands to reason that Fei Wuji was the master of Gongzi Jian and Guan Gongzi. Gongzi Jian gained power, which also had advantages.

But today...

"What's so gratifying? If you have no achievements in the sand, then this opportunity will become a serious crime."

Hesitating... Wu She looked at his two sons, thinking in a low voice: "Follow me into the secret room..."

In the secret room, Wu She informed the two of them about Bao Xiang's death.

The two were shocked.

"Both of you are serving as officials, and it's hard to protect my father when he's not here. I'll treat this secret with care. Telling you two is also to let you two understand the nature of Lord Chu, so as not to make the wrong step."

Wu Shang and Wu Zixu looked at each other, hiding their shock, and nodded solemnly.
