Chapter 356 Farewell, Lord Chunshen
The King of Chu's condition became more and more serious. In recent days, he has been in a daze all day long. Chunshen Jun sat beside him and sighed helplessly.
The King of Chu seemed not very lucky in his life. If the other protons were only humiliated on the face, then the King of Chu today suffered double humiliation from his body and personality. Although King Zhaoxiang of Qin married his daughter to him, this did not erase the humiliation in his heart. He vowed to his friend Huang Xie that Qin must pay the price! He must avenge Qin!
Unfortunately, when he was about to show his strength, the State of Chu did not give him such a platform. The King of Chu suffered several consecutive defeats on the battlefield. Bai Qi was extremely fierce. The nobles in the State of Chu were all in charge and were unwilling to serve the State of Chu. This country that occupied the largest land, had the largest population, and was most well-equipped could not exert the greatest strength of the country.
The soldiers were in chaos, and they would not completely obey the commander's orders, and would make changes privately. Speaking of which, Jing Yang could bring these people to fight Bai Qi and defeat Meng Ao. This was already amazing. The Chu army was like a coalition... Jing Yang was fighting with the coalition almost every time he went to the expedition... The ambitious King of Chu also thought about changing the status quo of Chu. Unfortunately, no matter what method the King of Chu used, the nobles in Chu could resolve it.
He did not hesitate to form an alliance with the enemy to betray him, the king.
The King of Chu did not have the courage to carry out the reform in full. This was because Qin was staring at him. As long as there was a serious rebellion in Chu, Qin would not miss this good opportunity. Seeing the rotten and rusty knife in his hand, the King of Chu did not dare to melt the knife directly and forge it into a sharper knife, because a tiger was staring at him. As long as the knife disappeared, the tiger would pounce on him and eat him.
If a self-righteous king, if a king without vision, he might be able to hold his own sword and close his eyes and pretend not to see a tiger. But the King of Chu is different. He once worked as a proton in Qin. He understood the situation of Qin, so after returning to Chu, he could see more of the knife in his hand. But he had no choice but to try every means to make the knife in his hand sharper.
In such pain, the King of Chu still led the State of Chu to complete several resistances against Qin and also annexed a lot of land.
However, the knife has not become sharp for a long time.
"Stop...Stop...", the King of Chu screamed, Chunshen Jun suddenly woke up, and hurriedly looked at the King of Chu beside him, "King, I'm here, I've been there all the time." The King of Chu opened his eyes and looked at his friends around him weakly. His eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand. The two of them held their hands tightly together. The King of Chu whispered: "Stop... I can't do it anymore, I'm leaving... Let Qi come back."
"King... Is Qi looking to Chu or knowing to Qin? We don't know..."
"Oh... I can't see him anymore... I can't see him anymore... I'll stop... Govern the Chu State... Chu State..."
"King... Please don't say such things again, please don't leave me alone." Huang Xie wiped the tears on his face and said, "The State of Chu has not yet become strong, how can you leave the State of Chu... We still have a lot of things to say..." The King of Chu looked at Huang Xie in front of him, shook his head, sighed, and did not say anything again. The King of Chu still did not die, and the imperial physicians forced him to save his life.
Time passed little by little, but the condition of King Chu became more and more serious.
The King of Chu could only eat some liquid food, and even had normal urination and drowning, which made the King of Chu feel a great humiliation. He often cried and yelled why he was not dead yet. But no matter what the situation was, he was still alive... Chunshen Jun could not be with him at all times, and Chunshen Jun still had a lot of things to do. First, in the country of Chu, because of the King of Chu's illness, many nobles began to make small moves quietly.
They arranged their confidants to take important positions without paying attention to the government orders in the temple.
Chunshenjun had no choice but to call his disciples to deal with these matters. Among them, the ones he trusted were Li Yuan and Zhu Ying. These two were Huang Xie's left and right hands to help him govern the Chu State... Li Yuan sat next to Huang Xie, looking at the reports of nobles from all over the country, and said angrily: "The nobles in China are a little unable to sit still. They said that you refused to welcome the prince Qi to Chu State because... because..."
Li Yuan did not continue to say it. Of course, Chunshenjun understood what Li Yuan meant.
Li Yuan's identity is not just Huang Xie's disciple, but more importantly, he is also the elder brother of the Queen of Chu. He presented his sister to Huang Xie, and Huang Xie gave her to the King of Chu, just like Lu Buwei gave Zhao Ji to Yiren. Because Huang Xie offended too many people in Chu, these people accused Li Yuan's sister of giving birth to Huang Xie's son, not the King of Chu's child, and they insisted on welcoming Qi.
Why welcome the start?
Because if the fierceness born to Li Yuan's sister inherited the throne, Huang Xie's position would become more stable. If Qi came to Chu State, he would have no power and would not be likely to deal with the nobles in the country. Chunshenjun shook his head and said with a smile: "No obstacle...", "They say whatever they want. This will not affect anything at all. I hope they can say more, so that they will deal with their crimes."
Chunshenjun has not given up on the idea of dealing with these aristocratic forces in the country.
Li Yuan said: "Please allow me to collect their crimes and wait until the time comes before dealing with them all!"
Chunshenjun agreed to him, and Li Yuan left. As soon as Li Yuan left, Zhu Ying, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but speak. He said, "Head of the family, you will have to experience a great blessing and another great disaster next."
"Oh?" Chunshi-kun looked at him and asked curiously: "What kind of blessing is it?"
"You have served as the Chief of Chu State for more than 20 years. Although you are the Chief of Chu State nominal, even the King cannot object to your order. Now the King is seriously ill and dies every moment. You will assist the young King, so you will take charge of the national affairs on his behalf, just like Yi Yin and Duke Zhou, like Lu Buwei, who is now, when the King grows up, then hand over the power to him. During this period, isn't you the king to the south to govern the State of Chu State? This is what I call blessing!"
Chunshenjun shook his head and said helplessly: "What kind of disaster will you go through?"
"Li Yuan is very ambitious. He has always been planning your position. If he is in charge of national affairs, he will be your enemy. He has been keeping his disciples and assassins privately for a long time. If the king dies, he will definitely enter the palace to seize power first and kill you to silence him. Now he is going out, he must be making friends with the nobles and wanting to murder you together. This is what I call disaster."
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, Zhu Ying continued, "Please arrange for me to be a doctor and let me be responsible for the safety of the palace. If the king dies, Li Yuan will definitely rush to enter the palace. At that time, I will kill Li Yuan for you. In this way, you can continue to govern the State of Chu!" Chunshenjun frowned and said seriously: "You have to give up this plan. Li Yuan is a weak person, and I treat him very well."
"He, like me, hopes that Han can inherit the position of the king. How could he collude with nobles to murder me? Things won't go to this level!"
Zhu Ying was stunned, then nodded and said with a smile: "Please be careful."
The next day, Chunshenjun was surprised to find that Zhu Ying ran away. Yes, his most trusted disciple actually betrayed him. He left all the rewards from Chunshenjun, and then took his family to leave the royal city. The soldiers could not find him, which made Chunshenjun very angry. He said to his left and right: "I don't allow Zhu Ying to take important positions, so he left me. Such a person is also a good thing to leave!"
Soon, Zhu Ying and his warnings were thrown out by Chunshenjun, while the King of Chu was still struggling in pain. The doctor would drink the smelly medicine every day. He was covered in wounds and could not turn over by himself. He was moaning for countless days and nights. Looking at this situation, even Huang Xie felt that he should have passed away early. Then, Huang Xie was shocked by his thoughts. This is his best friend. How could he hope that he would die?
However, sometimes, living like this is indeed too painful.
Qin sent troops again, leading a young man, called Yang Duanhe, but no one dared to underestimate him. It is said that Yang Duanhe was a disciple of Wu Chengjun. Wu Chengjun's disciple was very important no matter where he was. The young man brought a few troops to attack Wei. The King of Wei hurriedly sent Long Yangjun to resist. Unfortunately, Long Yangjun was not very outstanding in commanding the army to fight, and he was defeated.
Qin took away two cities, Yuan and Pu.
In the same year, Qin State encountered a cold disaster, which was not an ordinary cold disaster. Within four or five days, strong winds and snowfalls, and more than 300 people were frozen to death. The King of Qin was furious and immediately ordered the arrest of dereliction of duty and sent Li Si to the rescue of the affected areas. It was also because of this cold disaster that both Wei and Zhao State had saved a war. All countries breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu State was different.
The King of Chu suffered for a year, and after twenty-five years at the King of Chu, he finally couldn't hold on.
At night, when the King of Chu shouted Chunshenjun's name and his voice came to an abrupt end, the eunuchs in the palace understood and they cried loudly, but soon, the warriors in the palace took out their crossbows and controlled the eunuchs in the palace and did not allow them to go out. Such changes scared everyone in the palace. They cried and begged for mercy to these warriors. After controlling the situation in the palace, the warriors quickly sent people to leave the palace.
When Li Yuan came to the palace, he looked very painful. Li Yuan was tall and handsome, and was also considered a handsome man. He walked into the palace crying. He first went to see the body of the King of Chu, and then went to see his sister and the prince. In the end, he summoned the samurai in the palace. Looking at these samurai, Li Yuan wiped his tears and said angrily: "I heard that the death of the king has a hidden truth!"
The warriors had a solemn expression, just looking at Li Yuan in front of them. They were bribed by Li Yuan very early, and those who were not bribed were dead. What Li Yuan told them was to control the people in the palace after the death of the King of Chu and not allow them to go out... Li Yuan looked at them and said angrily: "The Imperial Doctor Ling Sun, I have just admitted to me that during these days, Huang Xie has been forcing him to poison the king, and it was him who plotted to murder the king!"
"We cannot repay the kindness of the king to us. Huang Xie is planning to kill the king and he must be executed. I have summoned the wise men from the country. They will soon come here to kill all Huang Xie's clan!" Li Yuan said loudly, and the warriors became more and more solemn. Li Yuan promised to give them many benefits. In order to complete the matter properly, Li Yuan summoned all his disciples and warriors to the palace.
Everyone was ambushed outside the Jimen, and Li Yuan then sent someone to tell Chunshenjun the news of the death of the King of Chu.
Chunshenjun, who was busy dealing with government affairs in various places, saw the eunuch running in crying, he understood that the pen in his hand fell on the ground. Chunshenjun was stunned for a long time, and the two young men in his mind were still talking about each other's ideals and driving a carriage to travel around. At that moment, Chunshenjun felt that his heart was empty and he was bored. He listened to his heavy breathing.
The eunuch cried and told him the news of King Chu's death.
Huang Xie was a little dazed, as if he had heard it, or perhaps he hadn't heard it.
Huang Xie walked out of the courtyard in a daze. The guests hurriedly followed him. Surrounded by everyone, Huang Xie got on the carriage and rushed towards the palace. There was a strange silence in the palace, and there was no crying at all. This was not in line with common sense. Huang Xie was not paying attention at all. He seemed to have lost himself. The gate of the palace was slowly opened. Huang Xie got off the carriage and walked towards the back hall.
Just as I arrived at Jimen, the shouts of killing around me woke Huang Xie up.
At some point, many assassins rushed out from both sides. They held crossbows, spears and short swords and started charging. Huang Xie only brought seven or eight disciples. These people did not last long. They only heard someone shouting, dragging Huang Xie forward continuously and killing the enemy in front of him. Huang Xie also drew out his weapons. At this moment, he remembered what Zhu Ying said, and he watched his disciples fall to the ground one by one.
Surrounded by the two bravest warriors, Huang Xie rushed into the back hall. The warriors were still shooting arrows, but in the night, the probability of hitting was not high. Huang Xie had no more disciples around him, and they all fell down. Huang Xie staggered, but he still saw the King of Chu. The King of Chu lay casually on the ground, closing his eyes tightly. Huang Xie wanted to say something to his friends...
Immediately, he saw the world turn blood red and the whole world is spinning. He opened his eyes and saw his headless corpse falling on the ground, spraying blood.
"Master...I'm here."
Huang Xie slowly closed his eyes.
A young friend once held the other person's hand and said his vow that although he could not be born in the same year, he was willing to die together.
Chapter completed!
