Chapter 71 Chu Zi, my head is here, do you dare to take it?

Yang Youji, Wei Xiang's "future" enemy who killed his father.

Although the name of the future sounds a bit strange, it does not at all prevent Wei Xiang from wanting to kill Yang Youji now.

Although Yang Youji noticed Wei Xiang's gaze, the general of Chu was obviously not the kind of person who dared to openly be arrogant in front of the King of Chu, so he just glared at Wei Xiang and then retreated to his position.

The ceremony of handing over a letter of war.

In name, the Zhou emperor in the entire China was undoubtedly the most noble person.

But in reality, the Marquis of Jin and the King of Chu are the two most powerful people in the north and south of the Yellow River in China.

Considering that Zhao Dun led the Jin clan to suppress the Du tribe for twenty years, and the King of Chu had just led the Chu royal clan to destroy the most powerful Du tribe Dou clan of Chu a few years ago, the King of Chu was undoubtedly the most powerful king.

Facing this king, even Wei Jiang, the leader of the Wei clan, who is known for his bravery, still inevitably spoke with a bit of humility: "I have met the king. The foreign minister was short of the Grand Jin Shangqing, but he was short of the name of Zheng Hou, and he came to submit the letter of war."

The letter of war was presented to the King of Chu.

In fact, this kind of war book is full of nonsense, which is basically a time and place, and then everyone leads troops to fight, which is more of a sense of ritual.

The King of Chu accepted the letter of war and suddenly smiled at Wei Jiang and said, "Are you the son of Wei Shouyu?"

Wei Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The King of Chu touched his beard and smiled, "Your father also met me several times back then. He was a cunning person. I don't think you look quite honest now, which really surprised me."

Wei Jiang's face changed slightly, and she smiled reluctantly: "The king is joking."

The King of Chu smiled and said, "Actually, it is not a good thing to be scheming like your father. Although cunning foxes are easy to survive, if they are targeted by tigers and leopards, they will end up dead. Since you have the legacy of your great father, then being a foolish person is the way to end up with a good ending."

After the King of Chu finished speaking, a burst of unconcealed laughter from the ministers and officials of Chu State suddenly rang out from the tent.

As the saying goes, two countries will not kill the envoys. However, this sentence must be viewed from the other hand. If you cannot kill you, you can humiliate you. Let you, the envoy of the enemy country lose face, and it is also a simple means to increase morale.

Although Wei Jiang was humble, she couldn't help but get angry when she said these words and planned to refute.

But it was at this moment that Wei Xiang's voice sounded in advance: "Chu Zi's words are wrong. As the saying goes, the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves, and the new people in the floating world change the old people. If according to Chu Zi's words, the ancestors are beautiful in everything, then Chu Zi should not be here now, but should go to Luoyi to guard Liao for the emperor."

After Wei Xiang finished speaking, all the Chu kings and ministers in the big tent changed drastically at the same time, including the King of Chu.

As we all know, only the Zhou emperor was qualified to be king in the Zhou Dynasty system. So where did the Chu king come from? The answer is - he claimed to be himself.

More than two hundred years ago, Xiong Qu, the ancestor of Chu State, shouted in a very coquettish manner, "I am a barbarian, and I will not be named as China." From then on, the king of Chu State began to claim his own king.

The kingship of Chu State was actually a betrayal and denial of the Zhou Dynasty system, so the princes of the Zhou Dynasty system did not recognize the title of "King of Chu".

At the earliest times, the Zhou princes called the King of Chu "Zi Chu", because the Chu State was a viscount when it was enfeoffed by the Zhou emperor.

What is the concept of viscount? According to the fifth grade of Duke, Marquis, Bozinan, etc., the people of Jin, Qi, and Qin were two levels higher than "Chuzi"!

Therefore, the Kings of Chu of all dynasties were certainly unwilling to recognize the title of "Chu Zi" and regard this title as contempt for the State of Chu.

But today, Wei Prime Minister openly spoke the despicable title of "Chu Zi" to the King of Chu in front of many officials from Chu.

This is simply slapping the Chu people in the face!

No matter how deep the King of Chu was, his face couldn't help but feel extremely cold at this moment.

An angry shout erupted from the tent: "Who is so arrogant in front of the king!"

Wei Xiang looked at the middle-aged uncle who stood up and glared at him, his face did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Who is you? I, Wei Xiang, don't talk nonsense to the unknown."

After the name Wei Xiang was reported, there was no fluctuation in the big tent.

The middle-aged uncle sneered: "Wei Xiang? I have never heard of this name, but just a mere entourage. I am Wu Shen, can you know my name?"

Wei Xiang said oh, and bowed, "It turned out to be Wu Shen, the lucky minister of Chu Zi. I heard that you are good at patting horses and welcomed him. I was happy to go against the emperor, Lu Ao, and I won the favor of Chu Zi. When I saw him today, I was indeed well-known."

When Wei Xiang said this, Wu Shen's face changed suddenly.

The political struggle between Wu Shen and Lu Ao is indeed well-known in the Chu political arena, but it has reached the point where everyone in Jin is well-known?

Wu Shen stared at Wei Xiang and said, "I can't tell you have a little understanding of me. It's a pity that you insulted my king and are destined to be unable to live here today."

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "I am the concubine's son of Zhao. During his lifetime, Zhao Xuanzi appointed me as the minister of Zhao Meng. Lin's father led a thousand soldiers to kill me but failed. Xu Ke's order was taken down by a sword from the main hall. With the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, I can even let me travel around, and I am afraid that I can't do anything to me in the Chu camp!"

When Wei Xiang said this, he was full of energy and echoed in everyone's ears, causing many Chu Guoqing, who had originally looked at Wei Xiang with a contemptuous look, changed their expressions.

Even Wu Shen was stunned for a moment and looked at Wei Xiang in surprise.

The great changes caused by Zhao Dun's death in Jin State were naturally clear about the monarchs of Chu State, but they were more concerned about the Six Lords, who were the focus of the Scholars, and they were not concerned about Wei Xiang, a "nameless man", who was active, and even the spies did not mention Wei Xiang's name at all in the information they wrote back to Chu State.

The King of Chu stared at Wei Xiang, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly laughed: "You want to use the power of Zhao to make yourself live? It's too naive. Even if I don't even take Jin State seriously, how can I worry about a mere Zhao family who is already out of here?"

Wei Xiang also smiled and said, "If Chu Zi was really not afraid of the Great Jin and Zhao family, how could he go north impatiently while Xuan Zi had just passed away? It's a pity that Chu Zi was just in vain! The Great Jin has dominated the Central Plains for decades since defeating Chu in the Battle of Chengpu. After a few days of the Battle of Liu Fen, I think that the Great Jin and the Central Plains will be safe for another 30 years."

The King of Chu sneered slightly and said, "No matter whether Jin State has thirty years of stable and hegemony, you, Wei Xiang, may not be able to get out of this camp."
