Chapter 118
Seeing that he was stuttering when he spoke, Qi Hou looked frightened, and liked it even more in his heart. He pressed Wu firmly and said, "I don't care about the humble general. With the appearance of my king, it is clear that I want the humble general Love my king dearly."
Wu Jiu's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, Qihou is addicted to acting, he should go to modern times to be the film king, but it's too wasteful to be a monarch!
Qihou's black armor was cold, Wu Jiao shivered, covered his mouth and said softly: "Don't, we'll be there soon."
Qihou just smiled and said: "Shhh—speak softly, be careful that people outside hear it, don't worry, my king, I won't do it to the end, I just want to make my king comfortable."
There was a flash of white light in front of Wu Jiu's eyes, and he lost his mind for a moment. With a hum in his throat, he almost fainted, his eyes were half-closed, without any focus, and he was panting lightly.
Qihou couldn't help being teased by him like this, but the horses and chariots had slowed down, apparently entering the sacrificial palace and were about to stop.
When Wu Jiao reacted, he was almost pissed off, his body was still so weak, he hurriedly got up and tidied up his clothes, the clothes were very cumbersome, although he didn't untie them all, but it was a mess and it took a lot of effort to tidy up .
Qihou got down from the frame first, his head was lowered, his helmet was pressed down very low, no one else would pay attention to him, and it was even more unexpected that the dignified King of Qi would act as a soldier in a servile manner to accompany him.
Qihou dutifully got out of the car, then opened the curtain, and stretched out his hand to help Wu Jiu out of the car in a dignified manner. He had done this action countless times, so it was decent, not at all unfamiliar.
Wu Jiu was supported by Qi Hou to get out of the car, but because Qi Hou didn't do a good job just now, Wu Jiu was a little weak. At this time, his legs softened and he almost knelt on the ground.
Qihou hurriedly said in a low voice: "My king, be careful."
As he spoke, he threw his arms around Wu Jiu, hugged Wu Jiu who was "throwing himself into his arms", and helped him up.
Wu Jiu blushed immediately, feeling that he couldn't hold back his old face anymore, glared fiercely at Qihou who played the role of addict, coughed lightly, and straightened his robes.This is the only way to move forward.
Marquis Qi followed behind with a dutiful expression on his head, and everyone entered the sacrificial palace. Wu Jiu observed Baoshen secretly. After Baoshen entered, he really looked at the beam at first sight.
There are many beams in the main hall, which are intricate. If a beam falls, it will not affect the load bearing of the main hall. It will not collapse, but each beam must weigh at least a hundred thousand catties. They are all solid and expensive wooden cores, so if they fall, they will definitely be destroyed. Smash people into pulp.
Baoshen looked up, as if he was checking whether he was ready, his eyes just glanced down from the crossbeam, but they collided with Wu Jiu's eyes.
Wu Jiu looked at Baoshen with a smile on his face, Baoshen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly cupped his hands to Wu Jiu and said, "My king, the sacrifice is ready, please ask my king to preside over it."
Wu Jiu looked very modest, and said loudly: "Ling Yin is the pillar of our state of Chu, today I am able to return to Chu, I still rely on Lord Ling Yin, so Lord Ling Yin is my benefactor."
When Baoshen suddenly heard Wu Jiu praise himself so much, he felt a little strange at once. He looked at Wu Jiu suspiciously, and saw a shuddering smile on the corner of Wu Jiu's mouth, and said softly, "Today is the day of worship in our country of Chu. I feel that I am humble and insignificant, and I am not qualified for the arduous responsibility of hosting, so I also ask Lord Ling Yin to host it in person."
When Baoshen heard this, he was a little stunned. If Baoshen was the host, then Baoshen would stand under the broken beam. If something went wrong, what would happen if the beam really fell?
Baoshen didn't know if Wu Jiu had sensed his plot, his face broke out in cold sweat, he repeatedly raised his hand to wipe it, and stammered, "This... this... Baoshen is a mere minister, I really don't dare... Don't dare!"
Wu Jiu smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency Ling Yin is too modest. If our Chu Kingdom is full of loyal ministers like His Excellency Ling Yin, then our Chu Kingdom will definitely be revitalized. Your Excellency Ling Yin is appointed by the king's father." Yin is also Brother Wang's master, his status is extremely noble, and he is also the elder of the widow, this sacrifice must be presided over by Lord Ling Yin, there is no other choice!"
Wu Jiu said it politely, but Baoshen's face was covered with cold sweat, dripping dripping, and he wiped it off quickly, as if he couldn't evade it. After all, if he evaded it again, it would look too fake. There must be some doubts. If there is a problem with the beam and someone is ordered to investigate, then I don't know what the consequences will be.
So Baoshen had no choice but to bite the bullet, cupped his hands and said, "This... Baoshen thanked my king for his love."
Wu Jiu smiled, and said: "Master Ling Yin, you don't need to thank me, I just hope it's not a wrong love."
Baoshen was even more frightened by what he said, and was about to bite the bullet and walk up the steps, and took the opportunity to instruct the servants around him, saying: "Don't do anything, the plan has changed, go and notify!"
The servants around them were also frightened. This was not at all the same as the plan. They had planned to hit it a little later to make a small vibration, and the beam would fall down. The ideal is when playing music , the beam will fall down, after all, the beam is only a sham, and the force is very strong, no one can touch it, it will fall down, as long as there is a vibration, it will fall down with a bang.
The servants around Baoshen rushed to inform them not to let people hit the load-bearing pillars, and to keep the music as quiet as possible.
Under Wu Jiu's smiling gaze, Baoshen bit the bullet and walked up. Wu Jiu, because Marquis of Qi had already noticed it, was already prepared. A safe distance, even if the beam suddenly falls, it will not hit yourself.
Baoshen was afraid that the sound of his footsteps could knock the beam down, so he walked up the catwalk lightly, wishing he could just walk on his toes. Everyone looked at Baoshen strangely. Even if Baoshen presided over the sacrifice in place of King Chu, he would Doesn't it mean that Deser's walking is not easy?An old man with gray hair twists and turns when he walks, and everyone who sees him laughs.
Wu Jiu also laughed, and Qi Hou stood beside him to prevent the beam from falling, so he hurriedly took Wu Jiu away.
Seeing Baoshen's "grace" walking a few steps, Qihou couldn't help but also smiled, and said, "Second brother is really insidious."
Wu Jiu just raised his eyebrows.
Baoshen walked up trembling step by step, standing a little sideways on purpose, not daring to stand right under the crossbeam, and ready to deliver a speech dripping with cold sweat. When he delivered the speech, his voice was very small, just like a cat meowing.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. I didn't know what happened to Baoshen today. At this moment, when he suddenly heard "cough cough!", Wu Jiao coughed hard several times on purpose, because the cough was so fake that everyone was watching. In the past, he thought Wu Jiu had something to say.
Baoshen, on the other hand, was pale, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the beam. No matter how loud Wu Jiu's cough was, it was not thunder, so he didn't shake the beam down. Baoshen breathed a sigh of relief, but he was too frightened to die. .
Wu Jiu was smiling at this time, and said unhurriedly: "I'm really sorry, the widow has caught some cold recently, and my throat is not feeling well, coughing twice, disturbing Lord Ling Yin, Lord Yin continues."
When Wu Jiu said that, it was as if he was finding fault for nothing, and only Baoshen knew what he meant.
Now that Baoshen was sure, Wu Jiu absolutely knew his strategy, so he did it on purpose.
Baoshen had no choice but to bite the bullet and said in a very low voice, "Zu-Zu-yue..."
Baoshen's voice was too low for the musicians to hear, but Wu Jiao said in a considerate manner: "Master Ling Yin is busy with many things, he must have caught the cold and his throat is uncomfortable, why don't you pass on a message for Master Ling Yin?"
The eunuch beside him hurriedly shouted in a sharp voice: "Zu-le-!!"
Following the eunuch's shrill voice, Baoshen almost knelt on the ground, his eyes kept looking up, and everyone in the audience was looking at Baoshen from the bottom up, and looking at Baoshen now, Baoshen seemed to be rolling his eyes , very funny, everyone is very strange, some people are secretly laughing below.
The musicians got the order this time and immediately started playing music. The music during the sacrifice is very important. However, the musicians just got the order not to play too loudly, but to play in a very low voice.
The music started, but the sound was too low, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, for some reason, could it be that the musician didn't want Wu Jiu to sacrifice smoothly, that's why he played so softly?
Everyone was very suspicious, only Baoshen breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the servant had conveyed the words.
Wu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Baoshen, how could he make Baoshen feel at ease?He smiled and said: "The sound of this music is so low. I'm new here, and I don't know the specific rules of Chu. Lord Ling Yin, is the sacrificial music always so soft? How can this show the national prestige of our Chu country? People who don't know , I thought the kitten was meowing, Master Ling Yin, is this the musician who looks down on me?"
Wu Jiu’s voice was so loud that all the musicians heard it. They all had pale faces. They just obeyed the order and did not expect to be blamed. Look at me and look at you. You don’t need Baoshen’s order, and they will play the music immediately. The voice raised several degrees.
As soon as the music played, Baoshen's face turned blue, and he didn't dare to stay on the rostrum. He was so frightened that he finished his two sentences and ran down the steps. He also stepped on the corner of the cumbersome robe, and even if he didn't care, he gnawed on the ground and dropped a piece of porcelain.
Baoshen fell down, and the audience was accompanied by laughter, almost applauding. Baoshen didn't have time to care about those laughing people, but he got up from the ground quickly and ran far away, out of the range of the crossbeam. Only then was he relieved.
The sacrificial ceremony ended very quickly, and it ended very smoothly, because no one bumped into the bearing pillars, so the beams did not fall. When Wu Jiu came out of the hall, he turned his head and smiled at Baoshen, saying: "Lord Ling Yin, my widow I wonder if the main hall for worshiping ancestors has been in disrepair for a long time, and the beams on the top of the head are probably not good enough, so Mr. Yin has time to find craftsmen to repair it."
When Baoshen heard this, he was even more sure that Wu Jiu must have known about it, so he deliberately punished himself, his face turned blue in anger, just now he turned pale from fright, and now he turned blue again, his whole complexion was very ugly.
But Baoshen couldn't tell, so he could only suffer a secret loss. Gritting his teeth, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my king, don't worry."
Wu Jiu said with a smile: "Leave anything to Mr. Ling Yin, I am the most at ease."
After Wu Jiu finished speaking, he waved his hand and got on the carriage first.
Qihou followed behind, also wanting to step on the chariot and horses, but at this time a few people came behind, they seemed to be some high-ranking guards, and they were directing people to move things. When they saw Qihou, they saw that he was wearing a guard's black armor , and said to him, "Are you new here?"
Qi Hou was stopped by someone, that person didn't seem to know him, he was just a small leader, how could he know the king of Qi.
The man said, "Come here and move this thing away with these people."
It is a musical instrument used for sacrificial offerings, and it is very large. It is ready to be loaded onto the chariot behind and brought back to the palace.
Qi Hou couldn't say no to it, so he could only walk over with a few soldiers and work together to lift the huge musical instrument.
Qihou was carrying the musical instrument, when he suddenly saw several soldiers winking at each other, at this moment, "Boom!" There was a loud noise, and Qihou felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he was instantly covered by darkness. It swept over, "Boom!" and fell to the ground with a sound.
The little leader who commanded the soldiers just now said quickly: "My lord! You have succeeded! It's still my lord who knows things like a god, how did my lord know that Marquis Qi would pretend to be a soldier?"
As he said that, he saw a young man in official uniform stepping down from the black car. It turned out to be Pan Chong who had come to surrender before!
Pan Chong squinted his eyes and smiled, staring contemptuously at Qihou who was lying on the ground, but said nothing, the little head said: "Today, Master Ling Yin was punished by them. If he didn't know that Marquis Qi was so cunning and pretended to be a soldier, the humble general would really not be able to catch Marquis Qi."
Pan Chong just smiled and said: "General, let's take Marquis Qi away as soon as possible, I'm afraid...if it's too late, please tell Lord Ling Yin that everything will go according to plan, and the enthronement ceremony will be his funeral for Lu Jiao. "
The man immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Wu Jiu got into the car, but Ziqing didn't see Qihou coming, and thought that Qihou followed the team.
Sitting in the car, Wu Jiu felt that his body was still a little unnatural. When he remembered those things, his face suddenly became hot, and he cursed Qi Hou in his heart.
Wu Jiu squinted in the car for a while, and soon arrived at the palace, Ziqing and Tang Wu helped Wu Jiu get out of the car.Ziqing looked around, but there was still no sign of Marquis Qi, and he didn't know where Marquis Qi had gone.
Wu Jiu advanced into the bedroom palace on the road, looked at the documents, the enthronement ceremony will be in a few days, because the invitations were sent out in a hurry, so the envoys and monarchs from all over the world also came in a hurry. Arriving at the capital city of Ying, Wu Jiu had no rest after returning, and was immediately busy with welcoming the envoys from various countries.
Wu Jiu was so busy, from noon to night, he didn't eat dinner, and went directly to the banquet to welcome the envoys from various countries. Among the monarchs who came to the capital city of Ying ahead of time was Cao Ke.
Cao Ke specially brought rare treasures to congratulate Wu Jiu on his ascension to the throne. He also came with envoys from Qi State, and Qi State sent Shan Zizheng as an envoy.
Shanzi happened to meet Cao Ke at the gate of Yingdu City, which was really embarrassing, but it was even more embarrassing that the two lived in the post house next door.
But the embarrassment was only Shan Zizheng, and Cao Ke didn't feel that embarrassing at all.
When going to the banquet in the evening, Wu Jiao saw Cao Ke and Shan Zizheng, and had a rare conversation. Cao Ke said, "Why don't you see Your Majesty?"
Since Qihou escaped from Linzi City and became a "hands-off monarch", he clings to Wu Jiao like a follower, and circles around Wu Jiao all the time.
After coming back from the sacrificial ceremony, I didn't see Marquis Qi. It's been an afternoon, and now it's dinner time. Everyone hasn't seen Marquis Qi for most of the day.
Wu Jiu said, "I'm afraid something has delayed me."
Because of the entertainment, many envoys gathered around to congratulate, Wu Jiu had no time to get away, so he had to deal with them one by one first.
He drank a lot of wine and had a severe headache. Tang Wu had prepared a very strong hangover soup for him a long time ago. After drinking a bowl, it was sour, bitter, and still smelly. Yes, I just feel that my brain is very clear.
Wu Jiu dragged his exhausted body back to the small dormitory. After entering, there was no one else in the small dormitory, only some eunuchs and court ladies.
It happened that there was a maid laying out the bed in the small bedroom, so Wu Jiu said, "Have you seen Duke Qi?"
Because Wu Jiu stepped down several times in a row, the palace servants were very afraid of Wu Jiu, and said respectfully, "Go back to the king, I have never seen the king of Qi, and I haven't seen him today."
Wu Jiu asked several eunuchs again, and they all said that they only saw each other in the morning, but they hadn't seen each other since then.
At the end of the banquet, Zhaohu Dongguoya was going to leave the palace, but before he had time, an eunuch hurriedly came to tell them that it was Wu Jiao who recruited them urgently.It's not just Zhaohu Dongguo Ya, when the two of them arrive, they also see Fong Quan and Qu Wan coming, and the four of them are all in a hurry.
When everyone gathered together, they heard Wu Jiu say that Marquis Qi had disappeared.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one had seen Marquis Qi, and they hadn't seen him since the sacrifice.
Wu Jiao frowned, his face was very gloomy, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Look, even if we overturn the state of Chu, we still have to find Jun Shang."
Everyone hurriedly bowed their hands and went to look for it separately. This matter should not be made public. After all, Qi Hou is the king of Qi State. If the king of Qi State disappears in Chu State, it may affect the diplomacy.
The second reason is that Wu Jiu is about to ascend the throne. At this juncture, no accidents must be allowed, and he must not mess himself up.
Although everyone went to look for it, they didn't dare to say anything. Wu Jiu went to Cao Ke and Shan Zizheng. When they heard that Qihou had disappeared, they were very surprised. Cao Ke immediately said, "Don't worry, King Chu. The soldiers of our country of Zhu also split up to look for it."
However, after searching for a few days, Qi Hou seemed to have evaporated from the world, he could not be found anywhere, and there was no sign of him anywhere.
The capital city of Ying has been turned upside down, and everyone has tried their best, but nothing has been gained. It seems that the day of enthronement ceremony is coming, and there is still no news from Marquis Qi.
The city of Yingdu became more and more lively, and it was many times more lively than it was during the war. Because Wu Jiu was about to ascend the throne and amnesty the world, and with the gathering of diplomatic missions from various countries, the city of Yingdu naturally became lively.
It's just that although the city of Yingdu is lively, everyone can feel it, but Wu Jiu's air pressure is getting lower and lower day by day.
Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. Everything in the palace is well prepared. The missions and monarchs from all over the world have already stayed in the post house, and they are waiting to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to watch the enthronement ceremony of the new King of Chu.
On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, the palace people were even more busy, preparing for the main hall and banquet tomorrow, Wu Jiu sat in the small bedroom, looking at the darkening sky, his face was very ugly.
Zhao Hu walked in from the outside, Wu Jiu looked up at him and said, "Did you find it?"
Zhao Hu didn't even need to speak, he just shook his head with a very ugly expression on his face, the meaning was obviously very obvious.
Seeing that Wu Jiu's face was so cold that it was about to fall apart, Zhao Hu comforted him and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty must be delayed because of something..."
When he said this, he himself felt that it was not convincing. After all, if Marquis Qi was delayed by something, he would definitely not stop talking to Wu Jiao. Besides, none of the ministers around Marquis Qi heard anything. , Qi Hou doesn't seem to have any important things to do suddenly.
Wu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Keep looking, increase manpower, and we must find someone before tomorrow's grand ceremony."
Zhao Hu nodded, now what they are most afraid of is not that Qihou will suddenly go away, but what they are most afraid of is that someone is plotting to do something wrong, in that case...
They were talking, when Ziqing came in and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Mr. Yin to see you."
Wu Jiao frowned, glanced at Zhao Hu, and said, "Go first."
Zhaohu nodded, and quickly turned around to leave. When Ziqing led Baoshen in, he happened to see Zhaohu walking out. Baoshen was in a particularly good mood for some reason, and smiled at Zhaohu.
Baoshen walked in, saluted Wu Jiu in a proper manner, and said with a smile: "The old man pays homage to my king."
Wu Jiu said, "I don't know what business Mr. Ling Yin is looking for the widow?"
Baoshen was smiling, as if he had come out of the fear of the priest a few days ago, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not a big deal, but tomorrow is my king's enthronement ceremony, so I come to see it. I see The people around my king are very busy, and they were afraid that they would be overwhelmed, so they asked my king if there was anything he hadn't prepared, and my king just told the old man to do it."
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it. The enthronement ceremony has Ling Yin in charge. I am very relieved."
Baoshen nodded with a smile, and said, "My king has worked so hard preparing for the grand ceremony these days. I will rest early today, and I will ascend the throne early tomorrow morning. Then the old man will not bother my king."
Wu Jiu nodded and said: "I have something to do, so I won't send Master Ling Yin."
Baoshen cupped his hands and said, "I, Wang Zhesha, am old man, so I will leave..."
As he spoke, he backed away slowly, and just as he was about to exit the small bedroom, he smiled and said suddenly: "Oh, yes, my king... I haven't seen Duke Qi for a long time, I wonder if Duke Qi is safe? "
Hearing what he said, Wu Jiu raised his head to look at Baoshen, Baoshen stood with a smile on his face, making a gesture of cupping his hands, as if he was very humble and respectful, but with a very smug smile on his face.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes, and said, "Master Ling Yin suddenly asked Duke Qi, what is the meaning of this?"
Baoshen said with a smile: "It doesn't mean much. I just haven't seen Duke Qi for many days, and I suddenly miss him very much. I don't know whether Duke Qi lives comfortably in our Chu country. As a citizen of Chu country, I should care about him." Caring, if there is something wrong, it can be corrected.”
Wu Jiu said calmly, "The delegation of Qi State is here. Duke Qi and the delegation of Qi State will naturally stay in the post house. It's not surprising that we haven't seen each other for many days."
Baoshen smiled and said, "Is that so? Then the old man is at ease, my king, Baoshen will resign."
He said, without stopping, turned and walked out of the small bedroom.
As soon as Baoshen walked out, Ziqing and Tang Wu behind him could hear that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty..."
Before he could finish his words, the veins on Wu Jiu's face twitched, he squinted his eyes, and flipped the case in front of him to the ground with his hands, making a loud bang, which scared the eunuch beside him. He and the palace maid were trembling, not knowing what happened, the king was still chatting and laughing with Lord Ling Yin when Lord Ling Yin was there just now, for some reason Ling Yin turned around and left, the king was going to be so angry.
In the eyes of the court ladies and eunuchs, Wu Jiu is actually not a mean person, they just heard that the new king is very ruthless, once he entered the palace, he raised his hand and slaughtered Zuo Sima, who was usually domineering He even took out his head and threw it in front of everyone. The maids and eunuchs didn't see it with their own eyes, so they didn't have that perception, they just knew in their hearts that they couldn't afford to offend.
But after getting along these days, they found that Wu Jiu was not mean, and he didn't like to lose his temper. The king suddenly became so angry that he trembled for a moment, as if he was a real person.
When Baoshen left the small dormitory, he still laughed heartily, as if he was very proud, because he believed that Wu Jiu was a smart man and had already understood what he meant.
What does Baoshen mean by mentioning Marquis Qi could not be more obvious. Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony is just around the corner. When Baoshen mentions Marquis Qi at this time, he is obviously threatening Wu Jiu. How could Wu Jiu not hear it?
That night, Wu Jiu brought back all the people who had been sent out to search for Marquis Qi. When they heard about Baoshen, they all looked very unhappy and stayed in the small bedroom all night.
Zhao Hu anxiously said: "What to do, what to do now?"
Dong Guo Ya was also rarely silent, while Ping Quan frowned and said: "Bao Shen speaks out at this time, it is clear that he is threatening the king."
Qu Wan said: "Tomorrow is the grand enthronement ceremony. If Baoshen threatens the king with his comfort, then..."
Everyone was worried about this matter in their hearts, and when they heard Qu Wan mentioning it, they were even more worried, and their tangled brows were all wrinkled together.
Everyone was silent, looking at the sky outside the window frequently, seeing that it would be dawn outside, and the palace people had already started to get up early to clean the palace, preparing for the enthronement ceremony.
Zhao Hu couldn't hold back and asked repeatedly, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Everyone looked at Wu Jiu, Wu Jiu didn't have any expression on his face, he was indifferent, but he became more and more calm, and suddenly said lightly: "Take a bath and change clothes."
When Wu Jiu said this, everyone was a little confused, Ziqing and Tang Wu hurried to ask the eunuch to make hot soup.
When the eunuchs and maids heard that the king had got up, they hurriedly brought hot soup. One by one, the eunuchs and maids came in continuously, holding the robes, crowns, and various accessories needed for today's ceremony.
All the people withdrew from the small bedroom and went back separately to prepare for the ceremony for a while.
Today is the enthronement ceremony of the new King of Chu. The officials of Chu State entered the palace early, and soon gathered at the gate of the Lu Palace. Monarchs also entered the palace one after another, preparing to observe a rare grand event for a while.
In addition to representing the state of Lu in Wu Jiu's enthronement ceremony today, Duke Lu has another identity, that is, the special envoy of the emperor. Hu Qi, the emperor, entrusted Duke Lu to attend the ceremony together on behalf of the emperor.
Lu Gong came from a distance, Baoshen saw Lu Gong immediately, walked over and cupped his hands and said: "Lu Gong is here, I am not far away to welcome you!"
Lu Gong smiled and cupped his hands, and said: "What is Ling Yin saying? Ling Yin is about to become a veteran of the three generations of Chu, and he is also a junior. Why do you let Ling Yin welcome you?"
Baoshen laughed, and said in a low voice: "It's not certain, maybe the old man can only be a veteran of the two dynasties, Baoshen and Duke Lu both know in their hearts, it is still unknown whether that young milk baby will be able to ascend the throne. "
Duke Lu also laughed loudly and said, "Exactly, what Lord Ling Yin said is true."
The two walked into Lu's bedroom while they were dating. Soon, a group of ministers gathered in the main hall of Lu's bedroom, talking and laughing, waiting for the new king to come out of the inner hall.
After a while, I saw the eunuch come out of the inner hall first, and then said loudly: "Welcome to my king——"
Following the eunuch's sharp voice, everyone fell silent immediately, and all quietly waited for Wu Jiu's arrival.
Hearing the footsteps of "Tap...Tap...Tap...", they were not in a hurry, they seemed to be very stable, and everyone saw a young man in black coming from outside the hall, because Wu Jiao was The new king ascended the throne, so he could not enter from the inner hall, but from the gate of the Lu Palace, and then there was a ceremony of ascension to the throne of the king of Chu.
Wu Jiu was dressed in a black court robe, extremely gorgeous, with high hair and a crown on his head. All his hair was pulled back, exposing his smooth forehead. Logically speaking, Wu Jiu, who is 30 years old, is no longer young. However, for a new king For him, he was too young, and Wu Jiu was not an "orthodox" Chu native, so naturally many people were not convinced by Wu Jiu, thinking that his qualifications were not deep enough.
Wu Jiu, who was dressed in black, seemed to have lost his gentle and gentle expression, revealing a kind of aloofness and arrogance. His clear and gentle face seemed to have some sharp edges and corners. He squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and slowly Walk slowly into the bedroom.
Everyone held their breath for a moment, as if they were overwhelmed by Wu Jiu's calm and steady aura, their eyes followed Wu Jiu's figure closely as they watched closely at the same time.
Because Baoshen is Ling Yin, that is, the highest authority of the state of Chu, today's enthronement ceremony was presided over by Baoshen. When Baoshen saw Wu Jiu approaching, he went up to him, and whispered in a voice that only Wu Jiu could hear. He said with a smile: "My king, why haven't you seen Duke Qi? The missions of Qi State are already in the palace now, shouldn't Duke Qi be with the missions of Qi State?"
Wu Jiu was very calm, as if there were no waves in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Baoshen, the black robe gave Wu Jiu a cold illusion of superiority, and said softly: "Lord Ling Yin, if you know what you are asking, there is no point in asking. "
Baoshen smiled and said, "This old man doesn't understand."
Wu Jiu said: "Lord Ling Yin has worked so hard for today, if there is any other way, just use it, let me open my eyes."
Baoshen laughed lowly and said, "Mo, Wang, underestimated Baoshen. I really have other means, but I'm afraid that the king is too tender to withstand the blow."
As he was speaking, he heard someone outside the hall yelling, "Who is it!?"
Immediately there was a sound of "Hula——" and the sound of chaotic footsteps came one after another. The sound of "tattling, treading, treading" was like a square army marching.
There were not only the doctor Chu Guoqing in the hall, but also the monarchs and envoys of various countries. Suddenly seeing a group of black armored warriors with long swords coming in, they were all startled.
"what happened?!"
"what happened?"
"Why did the guard come in?"
The black-armored warriors were tall and tall, holding long swords, all of which were drawn out of their sheaths, expecting to drink blood at any time, with fierce and cold faces, and after rushing in, they all surrounded the crowd in the hall with a "crash!"
Just behind those black-armored warriors, a middle-aged man came in from the outside. Wu Jiao didn't know the man, but among the high officials of the state of Chu, some of them gasped suddenly, and seemed to know him. middle-aged man.
The man came in and commanded the warriors. Everyone looked at it intently, and the sound of gasping became more and more. The man laughed and said, "It's so lively today. The new king of Chu is enthroned? Let me join in the fun."
Wu Jiao didn't know who that person was, but after hearing everyone's chatter, he immediately understood it. It turned out that this person was the son of King Chu Li, who was the elder brother of King Wu of Chu, and Wu Jiao was the son of King Chu Wu. King Wu's young prince, logically speaking, this middle-aged man should be Wu Jiu's elder brother.
It's just that when King Li of Chu died, he originally made his son King of Chu. However, King Wu of Chu rebelled and made himself king. As a result, King Wu of Chu beheaded King Li's son and ascended the throne.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that after so many years, King Wu of Chu had passed away for so long, even his son King Xiongbi of Chu had passed away, and the son of King Li not only survived, but came back again.
That middle-aged man was either someone else, or the son of King Li.
Someone shouted loudly: "Bold! This is the new king's enthronement, how dare you, a rebel, show up?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's right, today is the celebration of the new king's enthronement, but the new king is not him, but me!"
As soon as his words came out, everyone looked sideways. It seemed that many people were unconvinced. The son of King Li had fled for so many years. He suddenly came up with the ability to kill a carbine and brought the army in the palace of Chu with him.
The middle-aged man was very proud to see that others dared to be angry and dare not speak out. After all, the main hall has been surrounded by him now. The Chu warriors inside and outside are all his people. If anyone is disobedient, he will cut off his head directly yes.
The middle-aged man looked at Wu Jiao, but Wu Jiao didn't say anything, but had a very calm expression on his face, as if he wasn't afraid at all. This attitude made the middle-aged man very angry, thinking that Wu Jiao was contemptuous of him.
The middle-aged man said: "Today is the grand ceremony for the enthronement of our new king of Chu. I don't want to see blood. If you know your face, you should bow down to me now and call yourself the new king, otherwise..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and said "Boom!!!" and split the sacrificial table in half with his sword. The timid one has already shouted out.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, the doctor Chu Guoqing looked at each other in blank dismay, but the envoys and monarchs who were not from the Chu country didn't want to meddle in this business, and just waited and watched the changes to avoid getting burned.
Doctors, look at me and look at you. No one dares to kneel down like this. After all, Wu Jiu's attitude is a little flat and strange. Everyone has experienced Wu Jiu's methods these days, and they all feel a little apprehensive. If they just kneel like this, If there is any accident in a while, it is really too much to walk around.
Everyone was silent, and the hall became quiet for a while. Baoshen was the first to stand up at this time and said: "The son of King Li is the orthodox of our Chu Kingdom. When King Li was in power, he appointed the prince Prince, the prince has both ability and political integrity, so he should obey the will of heaven and succeed him as king, Baoshen is willing to kneel down and worship the new king."
As he said he was the first to kneel down, everyone was startled, and someone shouted: "Baoshen! You rebellious son! Have you forgotten the great kindness that King Wu has shown you? If there was no King Wu, you would still be in Shen Kingdom!" Beggars! How can you have the high position of Ling Yin today!? Now you say that the son of King Li is the orthodox Chu State?!"
Baoshen ignored the scolding, and when Baoshen knelt, many people were undecided, and simply knelt down. There was no expression on Jiu's face, he just stood up and straightened his black sleeves lightly, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, while his eyes lightly swept over the kneeling people one by one.
Duke Lu also said at this time: "King Li is the orthodox of the Chu State, and the son of King Li is also the orthodox of the Chu State. It just so happens that today the monarchs and envoys of various countries are here to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the King of Chu. The capable people in your Chu State will live here. We can't control it."
When he said this, he made it clear that watching the excitement was not a big deal.
Prince Li Wang suddenly laughed and said, "Duke Lu is right, I was
