The King of Chu has been a little annoyed recently.

Because he found that his wife Zhao always wiped tears alone in the middle of the night, but she refused to say why.

In fact, if you don’t talk about it, you can guess it. Isn’t it because of the sudden inappropriate thing at the dinner before?

At the beginning, the King of Chu was actually very angry, but in the next few days, the King of Chu stopped taking it seriously.

Didn’t King Zhuang of Chu, the ancestor of Chu State, also experienced similar things? King Zhuang of Chu did not pursue it, and it eventually became a beautiful story.

So, after thinking about it, the King of Chu simply stopped spending the night with Mrs. Zhao.

However, what the King of Chu never expected was that Mrs. Zhao did not have an attack, and the other two wives complained endlessly.

"King, look at Mrs. Zhao's appearance, I can't even think about what would happen if Jing Cui and Xiong Zilan were so rude to me one day."

"Master, I am the only one. If other men's dirty hands touch the parts of my body, I might as well die."

Now, the King of Chu was really overwhelmed.

But you can't lose your temper, after all, what the wife said is right.

Gradually, the King of Chu heard these words a lot and began to have opinions about Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui.

You are your important minister, and I don’t treat you badly. What’s going on when I come to touch my wife?

Look at Zhaoqi, he ran to the palace every day to accompany me to drink and have fun. He was very disciplined and never looked at what he shouldn't have looked at.

The King of Chu began to neglect Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui intentionally or unintentionally.

Although I don’t know which guy offended Mrs. Zhao, the King of Chu was also a happy person and blocked these two people in his heart.

After Qu Yuan's death, Qu's influence plummeted. Many officials and land that had just been swallowed under Qu Yuan's leadership were forced to vomit slowly.

In this big division of the forces of the Qu family, the King of Chu originally had a neutral attitude, but when this happened, the King of Chu began to clearly support Zhaoqi, which eventually made Zhaoqi and Zhaoqi the biggest profiteers.

After a few months, people who knew about the Chu political arena discovered a fact that the Zhao family, the largest family in Chu, was back.

At the same time, various rumors began to spread slowly in Shouchun City.

What is Xiong Zilan intending to rebel and plotting for the throne, what is Jing Cui's rebellion and unfaithful accumulation of strength in the fiefdom, or what is the King of Chu who is secretly ill and about to return to heaven, etc.

Rumors are always more and more outrageous. In the end, it has become the King of Chu's order. In the next two days, Xiong Zilan has joined forces with Jing Cui to prepare for the throne. After Xiong Zilan ascended the throne, Jing Cui will be the new Chu State Order.

The rumors were so surging that they naturally soon spread to the King of Chu.

When the King of Chu heard this, his nose was pissed. After thinking about it, someone asked Zhao Qi to ask Zhao Qi about his opinion on this matter.

Zhao Qi was very straightforward and gave the King of Chu a very simple idea.

"Since the king suspected that these two ministers wanted to rebel, why didn't he summon them to the palace? If they refused to enter the palace, it would mean that they were guilty. If they entered the palace, the king still did not trust them. Then he could detain them first and then continue to investigate and collect evidence slowly."

The King of Chu pondered for a while and found that he could not find a better solution, so he nodded and approved Zhao Qi's suggestion, and handed over the tiger talisman that could summon the troops of the Chu State Imperial Guards to Zhao Qi, and at the same time sent someone to the mansions of Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui to summon the two.

This action actually shows that the King of Chu had some doubts about Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui.

You should know that moving the capital to Shouchun was the strong advocate of Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui, and the fiefs of these two happened to be near Shouchun.

After Zhao Qi got the tiger talisman, he didn't have much trouble. He directly summoned the Imperial Guards and publicly informed everyone under his command: "Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui are likely to cause trouble. We immediately block the city gates. Once they find out the fact that they are causing trouble, they will be encircled and suppressed immediately!"

Afterwards, Zhaoqi directly killed more than 20 imperial guard generals who were related to Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui on the spot, and sent troops to directly blockade the four gates of Shouchun City.

Of course, this big noise was hidden from the fact that Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui, who were in Shouchun City, were troubled by the sudden rumors. They also made self-dispute many times, but they did not receive a reply from the King of Chu. In addition, Zhao Qi directly killed in the Imperial Guard today, Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui understood that the King of Chu was going to do something to himself!

In the face of the same pressure, Xiong Zilan and Jing Cui chose two different paths.

Jing Cui raised an army directly, and led hundreds of servants and dead soldiers in the mansion to fight for a bloody way out of Shouchun City, escape back to his fiefdom before making a decision.

However, Jing Cui and his Jing family's team had just left the mansion, and they encountered the main force of the Imperial Guard led by Zhao Qi.

The number of the entire five thousand imperial guards was several times that of the Jing family. In addition, the combat effectiveness gap between the army and ordinary warriors, the Jing family's team was killed in less than a quarter of an hour, and Jing Cui himself was cut off his head by Zhao Qi's sword.

On the other hand, Ling Yin Xiong Zilan dispersed all her family and went to the palace alone to apologize. However, just as he knelt in front of the palace gate and begged for mercy loudly, a cold arrow shot from afar directly ended the life of the Chu Kingdom Ling Yin.

An hour later, Zhao Qi brought a large amount of evidence found from Jing Cui and Xiong Zilan's mansions into the palace and presented it to the King of Chu. Several of the secret letters with the jade seal of King Zhao completely convinced the King of Chu that the two intended to rebel.

The furious King of Chu directly appointed Zhao Qi as the new Chu State's imperial magistrate, implicated Xiong Zilan's family, and ordered the removal of all the forces of Xiong Zilan and the Jing clan in Chu State.

Zhao Qi held military power and directly turned Shouchun City into the sky. Thousands of people were massacred and killed in this political purge.

But the matter did not end there. Unlike Xiong Zilan who was favored just because of her origins, the Jing clan has been rooted in the Chu State for hundreds of years and has its power spread all over the Chu State. At the same time, there are many fiefs of the Jing clan near Shouchun, which can be said to be powerful.

Jing Cui's younger brother Jing Yang happened to return to the Jing family's fiefdom at the time of the incident. After hearing that Jing Cui was dead, the Jing clan members in Shouchun City were slaughtered and immediately chose to raise an army in the name of killing the treacherous minister Zhao Qi. In a short time, a army of tens of thousands of people was gathered and headed towards Shouchun directly.
