History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 220 Atonement·Praise to the Country

Outside Jingmen, Feng Yun bid farewell to Mr. Chu.

Afterwards, Zhaoyang and Ziyu followed respectfully.

Finally, there are private guards...

This time, Feng Yun wanted to go on a mission to other countries to resolve the war in Chu.

"Fengzi, the atonement edict you asked me to prepare has been prepared. After you set off, Qu Yuan will also prepare the atonement as soon as possible."

Killing to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is a matter of course.

The death of praise.

It seems complicated, but how to appease it is also simple - atonement.

In atonement, the debt has a head and the grievance has its owner. The crime of killing Bao Xiang must be repaid naturally by being close to Bao Xiang, so that morality and justice are not lost.

Nowadays, the emperor and the princes attack Chu with the death of Bao Xiang. He talks about morality, but inside, he is mostly for profit.

The best solution to the situation is for the Chu State to kill Bao Xiang and atone for Bao Xiang's relatives and reconcile the two parties.

This is obviously a very simple truth.

In this way, as long as Bao Xiang's crime is repaid, there will be a layer of morality between the princes and the emperor to send troops. After repaying the Chu people, even if they cannot forget the crime, they can still ease their guilt and helplessness.

.

Let Chu people understand——

Sins should be atonement, rather than consuming one's own heart. These so-called Sixth Division of the Emperor are not their creditors. They should really atone for their sins to Bao Xiang's relatives - Bao Guo.

If the state of praise states what is needed for atonement, the state of Chu will do its best to make up for the fault.

If Bao Guo had to kill all the Chu people to repay Bao Xiang's death, would Bao Guo be moral?

Could it be that you want to use this excuse to plot something against you?

If you make a mistake, correct it, take it seriously and don't dare to make a mistake.

But it is by no means a death that wipes out the whole country to eliminate this praise.

…

Feng Yun wrote down everything he wanted to say on silk books.

Bao Xiang's death did not offend the people of Chu, but the king.

Deliver it to Lord Chu.

"We must send envoys to explain to Baoguo and Baoguo's monarch that Chu wants to atone for its sins and use what it has to make up for the crime of killing Baoxiang."

"After the words of Chu's desire to atone for their sins spread throughout the other countries, they then used carriages to haul tens of thousands of gold coins and headed towards the Bao Kingdom on the highway."

…

Feng Yun explained clearly.

This action is fair and upright, and upholds the principle of justice. Chu's atonement is the will of all Chu people. It is hoped that Bao's country can discuss compensation matters. As long as it is ethical and there is peace between countries, Chu people will do their best to make amends.

.

This war, victory or defeat, is the suffering of the people.

"Don't worry, Fengzi, I will definitely follow this plan to make up for Bao's country... Even if we support Bao's people for a hundred years as an atonement, I, Chu, will go all out."

Raising a benefactor for a hundred years?

Although the Bao Kingdom is small, it still has two to three hundred thousand people, and its annual ration must be at least two hundred thousand dan to be able to support it.

Two hundred thousand stones and one hundred thousand gold can be purchased.

When Feng Yun implemented agricultural policies in the Baiyue Kingdom, he only harvested 300,000 shi of grain in the spring of his first year.

Nowadays, Lord Chu can speak words of praise that have lasted for hundreds of years. It can be seen that Lord Chu is willing to pay a high price as long as he can restore the people's moral integrity.

Feng Yun raised his eyes and looked deeply at Chu Jun, nodding slightly.

"Chu Jun is willing to make amends, so this strategy can work."

After that, with the help of Mr. Chu, he got on the carriage beside him.

"Send Fengzi, and hope that Fengzi will return with success."

Feng Yun wanted to send an envoy to the southwest and south for the Chu people to conquer the two great kingdoms of Bayong.

As long as Bayong's two divisions retreat, Chu will be able to block the emperor's remaining four divisions with the Han River.

"Rumble..."

The barbarian boy used a giant bear to pull the carriage and roared away.

He is going to Yelang in the southwestern barbarians and the Kingdom of Shu.

The Chu State did not know much about Yelang. They only knew that Yelang was now a country with the surname Zhu and a common tribe.

The Shu Kingdom was a powerful country that was independent and did not submit to Zhou culture.

The country is rich but rarely communicates with the outside world.

Of course, it was also because we were in a basin, and the roads capable of traveling by carriage and horse were blocked by Ba, Yong, Xi and other Zhou li kingdoms.

"Fengzi, which country do you want to go to first?"

Outside the car, Manwa buzzed and asked.

Feng Yun looked at the green mountains and fields on the road and said slowly: "Yelang."

Yelang?

Manwa is puzzled.

Feng Yun smiled and explained: "Yelang has a bad relationship with Yongguo. Yongguo is separated between Ba and Chu. As long as Yongguo retreats, Ba will also be affected."

"The best strategy is to go to Yelang first, with Qu Yong's army, and then to Shu, with Qu Ba's army."

"Then how does Fengzi get both Yelang and Shu to help Chu?"

"Well... this matter is not urgent. After Yelang observes its national conditions, he will naturally find the answer."

…

When Feng Yun left the Chu Kingdom, dark clouds gathered over the Chu Kingdom again, and it looked like heavy rain had returned.

Such rapid changes in the situation caused Chu people to panic.

After leaving the house.

Just listen to soldiers reporting everywhere.

"Fengzi admonished the king, and the king wanted to ask for an imperial edict for his sins!"

Someone asked, and after hearing the words of atonement, they couldn't help but shed tears.

"Just atone for your sins, why kill all the Chu people..."

"Ugh... the people of Chu are willing to atone for their sins for Chu!"

The sound of atonement continues.

At this time, the rain was pouring down, and the noise was endless.

"boom!"

Heavy rain fell on Chu Di again.

The sound of atonement, along with the rain, gathered into streams and flowed in all directions.

Water vapor rises and breaks into various princely states.

"Atonement?"

Some people sneered, but others frowned and thought about the changes brought about by Chu State's move.

"Report!"

"Jingmen was defeated, and Chu State took back Jingmen!"

"What!"

The alliance of princes, who had just been thinking about the changes brought about by the voice of atonement, were now shocked.

The Jingmen that was finally captured was taken away now?

At this time, the emperor's envoy arrived.

"The emperor has ordered that the armies of all countries stationed in Andi will surely retake Jingmen!"

Following the emperor's order, the west side of Andi has been occupied by the princes' divisions.

As for the east side of Andi.

Because of Fengzi's name, no one dared to disturb him.

But in fact, Youfeng allowed this to be arranged in advance, and now the people of Andi have moved all the important things of Andi to Danshan Mountain to stay temporarily to avoid disaster.

And with the changes in the war between the Sixth Division of the Emperor and the State of Chu.

May passed quietly, and June has arrived - Slight Heat——

Praising the country.

The current monarch is the same Youbaogu whom Feng Yun met two years ago.

But the chivalrous spirit of the young man at the beginning has been exhausted by the state affairs of the country, and he has become old.

A look of helplessness could be seen on this young man.

"What, Chu State wants to atone for its sins?" Hearing the voice of Chu State envoys in the palace, Baogu laughed, with pain in his expression.

"Bang!"

"Chu State!"

There was Bao Gu, who slapped the desk angrily and looked at him fiercely.

"I will be buried with you as my father-in-law!"

"I just wish I could taste the flesh and blood of Chu people, cough cough... cough cough!"

There is madness in his expression, but...

"Wu Chu, I would like to offer ten thousand gold, one hundred chariots and armor, and thousands of farming tools as a gift of apology." The Chu envoy bowed down with a sincere expression.

"The death of Lord Bao Bao was a crime committed by the Lord of Chu, not the people of Chu."

"We Chu people are not worthy of death, and we should not be slaves."

As soon as the Chu envoy's etiquette came out.

Many of the praising scholar-bureaucrats in the palace stared blankly.

Ten thousand gold?

Hundreds of chariots and armor?

Thousands of farm tools?

This... such a generous gift is really tempting.

Only then did we know that the bells made of tens of thousands of gold in the Zeng Kingdom shocked the princes. How heavy the word "ten thousand gold" was among the princes.

Many scholar-bureaucrats clenched their palms and looked towards the valley of praise.

Chu Shi looked slightly sideways.

This country of praise seemed to be under the control of this monarch. Every scholar and official he saw would look at his face and listen to his orders.

After only two years, this young monarch actually has such means?
