Chapter 8 Chaotic Stratagem (4)

"Value value! One thousand values, ten thousand values!" Mi Fuchu breathed a sigh of relief and asked in surprise: "Dare you ask Lord Zhou, is he really not the flesh and blood of the previous king?"

Zhou Chong nodded and said, "This matter is absolutely true!"

Mi Fuchu hoped that King You of Chu was not the flesh and blood of King Kaoli. At first glance, he was still unbelievable and asked, "Where did you start with this?"

Zhou Chong sat down and said, "Your Majesty, sit down first and let the foreign ministers talk to you slowly."

Mi Fuchu sat down as he spoke and said anxiously: "Master Zhou, speak quickly."

Zhou Chong coughed and started telling a story, saying, "This is a long sentence, and it has to start with Chunshen Jun Huang Xie."

Chunshen Jun Huang Xie was one of the four princes of the Warring States Period, the most useless among the four princes. He served as the prime minister of Chu for more than 20 years. When the five countries joined forces to attack Qin, he served as the chief of the Zong, but he was so scared that he ran away before facing the attack of the Qin army, causing the scattering of the five countries' alliances to join forces.

After this battle, he was afraid that the prime minister would not be guaranteed, so he gave King Kaoli's advice to King Kaoli, who might as well move the capital to Shouchun far east, so that he could stay away from Qin and no longer suffer from the attacks of Qin. King Kaoli's useless people believed his words and moved the capital to Shouchun.

During the Warring States Period, the trend of cultivating scholars was prevalent. The most famous one was the fourth prince of the Warring States Period. Huang Xie had thousands of diners, one of which was Li Yuan. Li Yuan relied on his ingenuity and exquisiteness and was deeply appreciated by Huang Xie and regarded him as his confidant.

Not only is Li Yuan a scheming person, but also ambitions. In his eyes, Huang Xie was just a pawn to use. King Kaoli had no son, and after his death, no one inherited his throne. Li Yuan thought of a plan by Li Dai Taozun and decided to push his relatives to the throne.

To do this, he had to create a legitimate relative. He thought of his sister Li Yan. Li Yan was beautiful and had a good singing and dancing skills. He was determined to give his sister to Huang Xie, but he could not give it to him directly. In that case, Huang Xie would look down on her and might be ruined.

He thought of a solution and asked Huang Xie for five days off to go home to visit his relatives, but he didn't go back on the tenth day. Huang Xie blamed him, saying that he was receiving the envoy of Qi and was delayed. Huang Xie was very surprised. What did the envoy of Qi come to his house to do? He replied that it was sent by the King of Qi to propose marriage because his sister was very beautiful.

Chunshenjun was not only politically incompetent, courageless and unconscious, but also a drunkard. He heard this and asked Li Yuan to send Li Yan to take a look. This was what Li Yuan was waiting for. He went home to do a brief understanding of Li Yan's ideological work and sent it to Chunshenjun's mansion. Chunshenjun fell in love with him as soon as he saw him, so he took Li Yan as his concubine.

Three months later, Li Yan became pregnant. Li Yuan asked Li Yan if she was willing to be the queen or be the concubine of Chunshenjun for the rest of her life. Li Yan was also an ambitious woman. If she wanted to be the queen, Li Yuan taught her to speak. Li Yan successfully convinced Huang Xie with her ears. There were two reasons: one was that King Kaoli had no queen, and if he died, Huang Xie's prime minister would be difficult to protect. The other was to let her enter the palace. If she gave birth to a son and King Kaoli was made the crown prince, then Huang Xie's prime minister would be more stable in the future as King Chu.

Huang Xie thought this was the case and agreed. The design sent Li Yan to the palace. Li Yan was so beautiful that King Kaoli, the king of wine and sex, naturally liked it, and was very favored. Li Yan gave birth to twins at once, and the eldest was the crown prince, which was King You of Chu, the current king of Chu.

This was a shocking conspiracy. After Zhou Chong said it, Mi Fuchu opened her mouth and opened her mouth again and again in surprise, but she couldn't speak. After a long time, she said, "Mr. Zhou, do you think this is serious?"

"The beauty brings her son into the palace, and the robbers of the country are not tolerated. Tianqi Chunshen has no misfortune, so how can Zhu Ying be ordered to the doctor?" Zhou Chong silently recited the poem written by descendants who lamented this matter in his heart, and said in an unshakable tone: "It's true and true."

This fact is too great, so big that Mi Fuchu couldn't accept it, and asked, "Isn't it fake?"

"As such a big deal, Zhou Chong dared not talk nonsense even if he had the courage to do so." Zhou Chong affirmed again.

Mi Fuchu thought for a while and said, "Why does Lord Zhou know about such a big thing but there is no news about Chu?"

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Because that matter was done very closely, not many people knew about it. Huang Xieman thought that his son wanted to be the king, so his position would be stable and he had no precautions at all. Li Yuan killed him when King Kaolie was in the sky."

Mi Fuchu heard about Li Yuan killing Chunshen Jun and asked, "Why did Li Yuan kill Huang Xie?"

This also asked, and he wanted to be the king, and he was also a foolish monarch when he became a man. Zhou Chong disdained him and replied, "Li Yuan wanted to take over power. You must know, can his uncle kiss his father again? If Huang Xie does not die, Li Yuan would be better than Huang Xie. Can a person like him, who is extremely powerful, not kill Huang Xie? Only by killing Huang Xie can he realize his ambition to take over power."

Mi Fuchu suddenly realized and said, "It's reasonable, Huang Xie should be killed! No wonder Li Yuan is so arrogant all these years and doesn't take anyone seriously." The glitter in his eyes proved that if he was Li Yuan, he would kill Huang Xie.

Zhou Chong tempted, "Although they did this matter very closely, there was no airtight wall. In addition to Huang Xie and the others, two others knew, one was the King of Qin and the other was Zhu Ying. The reason why the King knew was that an insider fled to Qin and told the King about this matter. The King asked Zhou Chong to Chu to find someone to trust to tell him."

Although the news itself is very big, the person that the King of Qin is looking for is even more important. Mi Fuchu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, King of Qin! King of Qin, the foreign ministers are polite here." He saluted the West from afar.

Zhou Chong's words were half true and half false. The King of Qin knew that something was made up by him. Zhu Ying knew that it was true. Zhou Chong said, "Zhu Ying is Huang Xie's disciple, a capable man, very capable. He noticed Li Yuan's conspiracy to kill Huang Xie and told Huang Xie, but Huang Xie didn't need it, so he would be killed."

"Master Zhou, where is Zhu Ying now?" Mi Fuchu asked expectantly.

Zhou Chong said vaguely again: "I don't know much, maybe I'm among the five lakes. If you want to find him, you can go there to find him." Zhu Ying actually lives in seclusion among the five lakes.

"Sir, Xie." Mi Fuchu ran out, his voice came from afar, and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Zhou, I will give you two million taels of silver."

He wanted to rebel, but there was no excuse. Now, it was a legitimate thing for Youzi to do. He still had the principle of not making the Chu State upside down. He was so excited that he fainted on the spot that he had already burned Gao Xiang.

"There are such thieves from the country in the world!" Mao Jiao and Chunyu Jue came in, sighing endlessly, and their surprise was all over their faces.

Zhou Chong smiled and said, "Let's go and visit a friend."

Mao Jiao was very surprised and said, "Brother Zhou has any friends in Shouchun? Brother Zhou is not ordinary, so his friends must be masters, so they will talk together."

Chunyu Jue thought so too and nodded.

Zhou Chong's answer surprised them, and Zhou Chong said, "Thank you for your praise. My friend is nothing but Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan?" Mao Jiao and Chunyu Jue screamed in surprise and said, "Go to his place, he will roast us and eat."
