Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

So Li Yuan didn't say anything, but just waved his hand lightly, and immediately the soldiers of the Imperial Guard came up, tied up Chunshen Jun, put him in a carriage, and escorted him away.

After Chunshenjun was taken away, Li Yuan glanced at the thousands of Chunshenjun's guests who had gathered together with a gloomy look, and suddenly his face changed, and he said sharply: "These guys dare to gather together openly and resist The king's order must have the intention of rebellion.

Come here, arrest all these guys and put them in prison. If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed immediately. "

Li Yuan's order was undoubtedly very unexpected to all Chun Shenjun's disciples, but at this time, Chun Shenjun had been taken away, and these disciples were completely leaderless. What this regular army brought by the park was against.

After a small conflict, Li Yuan directly led people to arrest all the thousands of Chunshen Jun's disciples. Several people wanted to resist, and Li Yuan also had them killed on the spot without any hesitation.

After all this was over, Li Yuan left a team of 500 people, and directly gathered all the people in the entire Chunshenjun mansion together for custody.

For Li Yuan, all these preparations have been completed, and the next step is to wait for the king of Chu to launch a fatal blow.

This time came very quickly, and the king of Chu immediately held a court meeting on the second day.

This court meeting, many ministers of Chu State participated.

These ministers of the Chu State have already heard the news that Mr. Chunshen was suddenly arrested yesterday.

But even Chun Shenjun's political opponents like Jingyang didn't know what happened.

This inevitably made many people present have a feeling of panic, because they don't know what will happen next.

Soon, the King of Chu appeared accompanied by Li Yuan, and everyone did not dare to neglect, they all stood up and saluted the King of Chu.

The King of Chu waved his hand very casually, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then straight to the point, he told what happened today.

"The reason why everyone was suddenly recruited today is because the arrest and investigation of Lord Chunshen's betrayal of our Chu State and collusion with the people of Zhao State.

From now on, Li Yuan, you will be responsible for telling the whole story to everyone present. "

After hearing what King Chu said, all the people present showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Chunshen Jun, as the Lingyin of the Chu State, is an existence with one person under one man and more than ten thousand people. It is undoubtedly very, very surprising that such a person actually betrayed the Chu State and secretly colluded with the Zhao State.

Li Yuan had already made preparations, and after he finished speaking, he stood up and told all the things that happened yesterday vividly.

Of course, what Li Yuan said was just a script he designed, not the truth of the matter.

After hearing what Li Yuan had said, everyone present was no longer silent.

Jingyang was the first to stand up, and said impassionedly: "I have always opposed Chun Shenjun, and everyone must know this.

But, I want to say something here today. I opposed Mr. Chunshen not because of any discord between me and him, but because I think he wants to take us in the wrong direction.

But, the problem now is that I didn't even think that Mr. Chunshen had betrayed our state of Chu and completely mixed up with the people of the state of Zhao. This is absolutely unbearable for any person with a conscience in the state of Chu matter.

So I am here to propose, Your Majesty asks Your Majesty to remove Chun Shenjun from all his official positions and titles, and put him to death immediately! "

Jingyang's words sounded quite polite, but the last sentence completely exposed Jingyang's true thoughts.

To be honest, Jingyang was completely unaware of this matter, and he only found out about Chun Shenjun's sudden arrest last night after the incident happened.

But this does not prevent Jingyang from seizing the opportunity to attack Chun Shenjun, because in Jingyang's view, as long as Chunshenjun falls, won't Yin Jingyang take the position of Yin?

So of course Jingyang will seize the opportunity to get Chunshenjun down, no matter what the truth of the matter is, it's the same.

After Jingyang opened his mouth, the other ministers of the three major families would certainly not miss this opportunity. They condemned Chunshen Jun as a traitor with one voice, and also asked Chu King to kill Chunshen Jun!

Chapter 1072

It is said that at the beginning, the King of Chu might have had a little compassion for Chunshen Jun, but when he watched this kind of overwhelming yelling and killing, this kind of thought in his heart completely disappeared.

For Chu Wang, the reason is actually very simple, because if Chun Shenjun, the king of Chu, is really doing well, then someone must stand up and speak to him at this time, so as not to say At this point, no one is willing to intercede for him.

But what is very ironic is that just after this thought was in King Chu's mind, a voice rang out.

"Report to Your Majesty, the old minister feels that there may still be something strange about this matter, why don't we investigate further before we can come to a conclusion."

The King of Chu looked intently and found that the person who said this was actually not someone else, but King Chu's uncle Chu.

At this moment, King Chu suddenly had a headache. This feeling was like a person who thought that the matter was safe, but a flaw suddenly appeared, which caused this matter to be carried out, but now it cannot be carried out.

The King of Chu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Since Uncle Wang has said so, it is certainly impossible for the widow to wrong Mr. Chunshen.

How about this, Li Yuan, you and Da Sima are responsible for the specific investigation of this case, and I limit you to come up with a result within three days, otherwise I will take the two of you as questions. "

After hearing the order from King Chu, Li Yuan and Jingyang were also a little disappointed.

From the point of view of these two people, Chun Shenjun should be killed on the spot. This is the best result. Now because of this Chu who stood up and spoke out, the things that were originally guaranteed have changed a lot, and they are definitely not two people. want to see.

At that time, the king of Chu had already spoken, and of course it was impossible for these two people to refuse the order of the king of Chu, they could only agree directly.

Since this matter can't come to a result all at once, then this court meeting will come to an end here.

Li Yuan had just left the main hall and was about to go to Li Si to discuss the situation, but was immediately stopped by Jingyang.

Jingyang smiled and said to Li Yuan: "I don't know if Mr. Li has time, let's discuss it carefully and how to investigate this case."

In Jingyang's heart, he actually underestimated. From this year's point of view, this Li Yuan should be from Chunshenjun's side, but for some reason, he fell out with Chunshenjun for some reason.

Even now the King of Chu seems to trust Li Yuan quite a lot, but from the standpoint of long-term hostility in the past, Jingyang actually doesn't trust Li Yuan that much, so he wants to take this opportunity to have a good look at Li Yuan Let's see what Li Yuan thinks.

Li Yuan is not a fool either. After hearing Jingyang's words, he immediately understood what Jingyang meant.

So Li Yuan immediately showed a smile on his face, and said to Jingyang with certainty: "Does it need to be said, Da Sima?

Naturally, Da Sima is the main person in charge of this matter. I just need to help Da Sima complete this matter. After all, this is also a task entrusted to me by the king, isn't it? "

After Jingyang heard this sentence, he immediately felt relieved.

Because the information that can be revealed from this sentence is that Li Yuan does not seem to want to compete with Jingyang for the leading right to investigate Chun Shenjun's case this time. Convicted, then how can this be used to convict Chun Shenjun.

Jingyang also laughed, and said to Li Yuan: "Actually, the old man is also worried that the understanding between the two of us is not unified, and if we can't do this well, the king will get angry.

But looking at it now, the old man should be worrying too much. I also hope that in the next few days, the two of us can cooperate sincerely. After all, there are still many opportunities for everyone to cooperate in the political arena of Chu State in the future. "

The reason why Jingyang said that was actually because of his own considerations.

When he came to Jingyanggang, after Chun Shenjun was eliminated, the position of Ling Yin was of course Jingyang.

Once that time comes, there will definitely be conflicts between Jingyang and the other two big families, because the common enemy of both parties, Lord Chunshen, has disappeared.

Under such circumstances, Li Yuan, as the uncle of the state of Chu, has gained the trust of the king of Chu, and will definitely become a new force in the political arena of the state of Chu in the future, so Jingyang chose to say hello to Li Yuan in advance , there is also a reason for wanting to win over an ally in the future.

Li Yuan also nodded with a smile. The two sides seemed to be in harmony, as if they were two old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

After sending Jingyang away, Li Yuan also returned to his mansion immediately, and quietly came to Li Si's side, and met Li Si again.

Li Yuan had just met Li Si, and then Li Si smiled and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Li Yuan for being entrusted with an important task by the King of Chu. It seems that he will soon be able to overthrow Lord Chunshen."

After hearing Li Si's words, my heart skipped a beat. You must know that King Chu's decision was just announced in the court meeting.

As soon as Li Yuan left the court meeting, he immediately came to see Li Si non-stop, so how did Li Si know about this in such a short period of time?

Li Yuan knew very well that Li Si would definitely not tell Li Yuan the reason for being so quick.

But this actually doesn't need to be elaborated, it can directly show that Zhao Guo does have very deep connections in Chu State.

And this kind of personal relationship can also be used by Li Si, which is why the current result appears.

Li Yuan took a breath, and the pride he had in his heart disappeared instantly, because Li Si's strength seemed to be stronger than Li Yuan imagined.

If Li Sidu is already so powerful, then how strong can Zhao Kuo, the Wu Xinjun behind the history, be?

Li Yuan decided not to continue thinking about this issue, because if he continued to think about it, Li Yuan might be afraid of Wu Xinjun, and even began to consider whether to join Zhao Guo.

At least for now, Li Yuan just wants to be a Chu State Lingyin.

Li Yuan withdrew his mind and said to Li Si: "Although the king has indeed appointed me and Jingyang to be the commanders of an investigation team, the problem is that the results of this investigation may not necessarily be able to win the battle." Down Chunshen Jun."

After hearing this sentence, Li Si couldn't help laughing until Li Yuan was already a little embarrassed, and then Li Si opened his mouth to explain.

"Brother Li Yuan, you can actually think about it carefully. Although it may be difficult for you to find some flaws about Chun Shenjun, haven't I already given you all his flaws before? As long as that With 20 carriages around, it is absolutely impossible for Chun Shenjun to stand up.

And don't forget that the person by your side is Chunshenjun's mortal enemy, Jingyang. This guy would like to let Chunshenjun die on the spot. He will more or less have some evidence in his hands. The sum of these evidences is enough to crush Chun Shenjun to death. "

After hearing Li Si's explanation, Li Yuan's nervousness immediately relaxed, and he smiled again.

"That's what I said, but after moving to Chunshenjun, this guy Jingyang will definitely compete for Ling Yin's position. Do you think I can really win Jingyang?"

Li Si laughed out loud after hearing this, and said to Li Yuan in a very affirmative tone: "Brother Li Yuan, I can use my head as a guarantee, as long as Mr. Chunshen honors this position Come down, then it is absolutely impossible for anyone else to sit in this position except you."

For Li Si's words, Li Yuan was of course dubious, but things had reached this point, and Li Yuan also knew that he had no other better way than to believe Li Si's words.

On the second day, Li Yuan got up early to collect materials with Jingyang and began to investigate.

First of all, of course, investigate the 20 carriages and the manor. If you don't investigate, you don't know. Li Yuan was shocked by the investigation.

The reason is also very simple, because Li Yuan discovered that Chun Shenjun not only hid 20 carriages in the manor, but also hid a secret wealth that no one else knew.

In other words, Chun Shenjun seems to have donated all his property to the King of Chu on the surface, but in fact he still keeps this sum, and this sum does not include Zhao Kuo's gift to Chun Shenjun. 20 carriages.

Not only that, but with the information that Jingyang got from somewhere, they even found a ledger.

According to the records in this account book, in the past few years, the industries under Chunshen Jun have been quietly doing business with Zhao Kuo's industries. Even when there was a war between Zhao and Chu, this kind of Business has not been interrupted.

From the moment he saw this ledger, Li Yuan also let out a sigh of relief, because he knew that with this ledger, Chunshen Jun was completely finished.

Things happened exactly as Li Yuan had expected. When Li Yuan and Jingyang presented the account book to the King of Chu, the King of Chu couldn't believe it at first, and finally became enraged and overturned the table.

"This damned Mr. Chunshen, thanks to the widow's trust in him all this time, he never imagined that he had already been secretly colluding with the people of Zhao Guoren behind his back.

If this goes on like this, I'm afraid one day our entire Chu country will be sold by him! "

After he sent a thunderbolt, the King of Chu finally didn't have any hesitation, and gave the order on the spot.

"Come here, pass on the will of the widow immediately, remove Chunshen Lord Huang Xie from all positions, and wait for one month to be executed! Then exile his family in the South China Sea, and execute it immediately!"

When King Chu said this, his entire expression was almost distorted.

For the King of Chu, Chunshen Jun has always been considered by him as a good teacher and helpful friend, but at this moment, the good teacher and helpful friend in the King of Chu's heart has been proved to have already secretly colluded with Zhao Guo, which undoubtedly makes King Chu's The world view has a sense of collapse.

It is no exaggeration to say that from this moment on, the King of Chu is real, and no one trusts him anymore.

In order to retaliate against Chunshenjun's betrayal, the King of Chu even exiled Chunshenjun's family members in advance, so that no one could collect Chunshenjun's body.

This can also prove how much the king of Chu hated Chunshenjun's betrayal in his heart.

Jingyang and Li Yuan were also overjoyed after hearing the order from the King of Chu, and they all praised the King of Chu for being wise.

For the two of them, getting rid of Chun Shenjun is definitely a very, very happy thing.

After the king of Chu breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately issued another order and held a new court meeting.

After all, meeting Chunshenjun for the first time is a big event, and after killing Chunshenjun, a new candidate will definitely be appointed, and this will also be announced through the court meeting.

After Jingyang heard the news, he seemed complacent and smug. From Jingyang's point of view, after the death of Lord Chunshen this time, Ling Yin's position naturally belonged to Jingyang.

An hour later, at the court meeting, the king of Chu announced the news of the execution of Lord Chunshen again, which also caused a commotion among the ministers of Chu State present.

Not only Mr. Chunshen, but also some of Mr. Chunshen's usual allies and subordinates were also arrested at this court meeting. Naturally, there is no need to say more about their fate.

This is definitely a shock like a big earthquake for Chu, but until this time, the shock has not yet reached its peak.

Everyone is concerned about one question, that is, after Chun Shenjun, who is the new Chu State Lingyin?

Regarding this issue, the King of Chu has not expressed his position first, but the political arena of Chu State has already turned the sky upside down.

As the leader of the three major families for many years, Jing Jing took it for granted that this position should be held by him, but the problem was that Zhao Zhong, the head of another family, did not agree.

In Zhaozhong's view, the Zhao family and the Jing family have always been equally powerful, and as the Shangzhu state, Zhaozhong's status is actually higher than that of Jingyang, so why should Jingyang inherit it this time?

Therefore, the ministers of the Zhao family and the ministers of the Jing family also had a very fierce quarrel.

In this quarrel, the Qu family, one of the remaining three major families, wisely remained neutral and did not support any of them.

Just as the quarrel between the two sides became more and more intense, the king of Chu finally became impatient, and stopped the two sides from continuing to quarrel with a slap on the table.

"Needless to mention the current situation, you all know that if the widow appoints either of you, the other person will definitely disagree.

So the widow has already decided that Li Yuan will be the Ling Yin from today on! "

Chapter 1073 Li Si Advises Li Yuan

After seeing King Chu's decision, both Jingyang and Zhaozhong were stunned.

In their opinion, the King of Chu should not appoint other candidates, so the two of them competed so hard for this position, but now they never expected that the King of Chu would hand over the position of Ling Yin to Ling Yin like this. In the hands of Li Yuan.

After a brief silence, Jingyang suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty's decision is very good, and the old minister has no objections at all."

As far as Jingyang is concerned, he has actually figured it out now. If this continues, the competition with Zhao Zhong will definitely not come to fruition.
