History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 203 Wu Guo Wu Zixu

In the royal capital of Yangyue, in the palace of Yangyue's original classics, Qu Yuan frowned.

After Feng Yun came to the land of Yangyue, Qu Yuan often kept him company to ask for advice on how to govern the country.

Today's Yangyue Land has been managed by Qu Yuan in an orderly manner according to the policies set by Feng Yun before. However, as the value of Yangyue Land is reflected, the constraints from the clans of Chu State are increasing, which is overwhelming.

Qu Yuan couldn't handle it.

It's a pity that Feng Yun only showed Qu Yuan the strategies in "The Kingdoms of Chu" in advance.

Today, Qu Yuan came again and spoke, but it was not about governing the country.

"Fengzi...have you heard about it?"

What did you hear?

Feng Yun sat behind the low table, flipping through "The Kingdoms of Chu" to make corrections.

During this period, he had been recording how the powerful people of Chu State were encroaching on the land of Yangyue, so where did he find the time to inquire about things?

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yun raised his eyes. If it was an ordinary matter, he wouldn't use Qu Yuan to say it.

Qu Yuan saluted and sighed slightly: "Young Master built on the sand and died of a serious illness."

The sandy land is on the southwest side of Yangyue. It was the last place where Feng Yun went to Yangyue as an envoy, and Ji Ran was the last place to find a mine for the king of Yangyue.

Red copper ore…

This mineral is rare and is copper that can be directly struck and shaped. It is also called purple copper because of its purple-red color. Of course, more people call it purple gold.

Its texture is soft, and although it is not suitable for use as a weapon, it is the first choice material for delicate utensils. The purple color is noble, and it is a noble thing.

With this mine, we can conquer all countries.

When King Yangyue learned about it, he was very happy and ordered a large number of Yangyue people to mine it. However, Bao Xiang's death came suddenly, King Yangyue was defeated and fled, and the mine was annexed by Chu State.

After the annexation, Qu Yuan was the person in charge of Yangyue, but he had no power to use it.

Now, the king of Chu lets Gongzi Jian mine this mine, which means that he attaches great importance to it, so that Gongzi Jian can accumulate his own wealth.

But who would think...

"Died of serious illness?"

"Gongzi Jian?"

Feng Yun had never met this man, but he had also heard that he was the eldest son of the Chu King and should be the next Chu King.

Some time ago, Fei Wuji presided over it, completed the crowning, and entered the court administration.

At this time, something like this happened in a mining area.

"How to die?"

If the crown prince dies, the state of Chu will be in turmoil.

Feng Yun looked up at the sky, taking a deep look, and found that the fate of Chu State was slightly declining, which was very different from the previous few days.

"I heard that he was killed by a slave...but there may be something fishy about it."

"oh?"

Feng Yun frowned.

This statement reminded Feng Yun of the scene in Baiyue, when Baiyue used his own death to make three children kill each other, and finally pushed Li Yue to the throne.

Feng Yun never wrote about this matter in the book because the person involved was still alive and he was afraid that writing would affect the behavior of people in this world.

At this time, he heard that the prince of Chu had also had an accident, and he couldn't help but think of more.

What kind of person was the king of Chu?

In Chu State, the eldest son inherits the system, and daughters have no inheritance rights. Logically speaking, there is no such trouble...

But what if there is more than one legitimate son?

"What's so suspicious about it?"

Feng Yun asked.

Qu Yuan replied: "On that day, Master Jian was inspecting the mines and was rioted by slaves. However, he was protected by many armored soldiers. Master Jian just rolled down the mine and suffered skin injuries. However, after he returned to the camp, he died of bleeding. Such as

The appearance of poisoning.”

Feng Yun heard this, put down his affairs, looked at Qu Yuan and said, "How did Mr. Chu handle it?"

Qu Yuan thought of Chu Jun's handling method, frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty ordered that Young Master Ju and Young Master Xin go to the sandy land together to find out the matter."

"Ju, Xin..." Feng Yun whispered: "I remember that these two young masters are both direct descendants of the mistress. Young Master Xin is slightly older than Young Master Ju."

Qu Yuan nodded.

"In addition to the two young masters, the king also ordered Fei Wuji and two other officials to go there."

"And Zhaoyang Sima also went."

Feng Yun thought.

"I'm afraid Mr. Chu has a plan in mind."

Prince Jian has died, and the matter is irreversible.

We can only quickly stabilize the situation at this time to prevent the country from being shaken.

The emperor is ruthless, and so are the kings of Chu. They often have the overall situation in mind above their personal feelings.

"I also suspect that one of the two young masters did it?"

Feng Yun spoke frankly, but did not wait for Qu Yuan to answer.

"Da da da……"

Zhaoyang and Doulian came together.

"Feng Zian." The two of them greeted each other, and Zhaoyang looked at Qu Yuan and frowned, "I have something important to do and I'm looking for the chief executive."

When Qu Yuan heard the sound, he stood up and left with Zhao Yang.

Doulian sat down and said to Feng Yun: "Fengzi must have heard about Gongzijian from Dr. Qu Yuan. Now Sima Zhaoyang is returning to catch the murderer."

murderer?

Is it so easy to find it?

Chu Jun is really...

Seeing Feng Yun's expression, Dou Lian smiled helplessly.

"If you don't hurry up, the sergeant-officials and Chu people will be in chaos."

"Alas, Gongzi Jian was already famous among the Chu people for recommending Fengzi to serve as an official. He was considered an excellent prince, but he died of poisoning. The Chu people must give an explanation for this."

"As for the central court... the scholar-bureaucrats originally respected the prince's construction, but the prince built his troops, and all their earlier surrenders were null and void. If it is not resolved now, they are afraid that people's hearts will drift."

Feng Yun also had thoughts about fighting against integrity.

"Lao Dou Lian, Yun just lamented the decision of Lord Chu."

Feng Yun shook his head.

"Is it really poisoning?"

Dou Lian hesitated, but still said truthfully: "It's poisoning. It should be the poison in the minerals that enters the body along with the wound. Not long ago, Gongzi Jian came to the sandy land and was exposed to the cold wind and water vapor in the mountains and forests, so he was poisoned."

Death."

"The doctors in Yingdu have proven it."

Frown slightly.

"That means there is no real murderer?"

Dou Lian hesitated, but still shook his head.

"Doctor Fei Wuji said that Wu She was accompanying the young master. It is dangerous for the young master to go to the mines himself. He should be warned, but he did not warn him. Instead, he did not take any precautions when he went with him and allowed the young master to come into contact with the slaves."

"Moreover, during the mining chaos, Wu She did not go to protect the Lord. The young master was injured, but he was safe and sound."

"Then Fei Wuji asked me to say that this crime should be imposed on Wu She."

Feng Yun heard this and said, "How will Mr. Chu handle it?"

Dou Lian shook his head.

"Your Majesty did not agree or refuse, but seemed to be thinking."

"However... Young Master Ju was furious because his brother was killed by Wu She because of his incompetence. He took a sword and cut off Wu She's arm in the palace."

Speaking of this, Dou Lian sighed slightly.

"Gongzi Ju was angry because of his elder brother, and his attitude was righteous, so the Lord of Chu handed over the whole matter to Gongzi Ju."

"Afterwards, the young master stayed in command and executed the Wushe clan."

"Nowadays, many of the three Wu She tribes are on the run. Among them, Wu She's eldest son, Wu Shang, has been executed, and the second son, Wu Zixu, is still on the run. So Zhaoyang Sima also ordered to come to Qu Yuan, the chief minister, and arrest him together.

Wu Zixu."

"Wu Zixu..."

A familiar name...befitting a person from the Wu Kingdom.

At this time, Wu Junliao should be in office in the State of Wu.

In the previous chapter, I have modified one thing - the time is wrong, Bao Si has not yet given birth, she is only seven months pregnant.
