I am a ruler in troubled times

After Jin Bao put the box down, everyone saw what was written on the seal on the box.

” The crown prince and Yuanjun personally conferred, Chu Xiang. '

At the end of the note is also stamped the private seal of King Xiang

"What good stuff? It's quite formal." Luo Yong touched his chin and stared at the box with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see the contents of the box through the seal.

Others echoed Luo Yong's words one after another, and cast unabashedly curious gazes at Chongyi and Song Peiyu.

Seeing this, Song Peiyu got up quickly and pulled Chongyi's sleeve to open the box.

The two of them pinched the edge of the seal up and down, using force tacitly, so that there was a neat break in the middle of the seal like a knife cut.

"Huh!"

The people who all left their chairs and gathered around sighed unconsciously.

Bo Yang laughed and said, "As expected of a match made in heaven, there can be such a tacit understanding in such a small matter."

The others were not to be outdone, they walked outside all day, and their ears were full of auspicious words from colleagues talking about Chong Yi and Song Peiyu's marriage.

As meticulous as Wei Zhiyuan and Sheng Tairan, they even specially prepared auspicious words, and now they just opened their mouths.

For example, Ping Zhang and Luo Yong said what they thought of, and their words were more direct and enthusiastic.

Song Peiyu coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "It's almost enough, don't be too fake."

The people around were even more enthusiastic. Luo Yong pressed his hands on the table where the boxes were placed, his upper body was almost parallel to the table, and he insisted on asking the root of the problem, "Where is the fake?"

Song Peiyu opened his mouth, then closed it silently.

He was just being polite so he wouldn't seriously refute.

It was rare to see Song Peiyu speechless, and everyone was even more excited.

The people who hadn't planned to die like Luo Yong also booed and asked Song Peiyu what they said was wrong.

Song Peiyu suddenly felt a little hot.

Ever since he started to walk the six rituals, he has always faced all kinds of jokes.

But it still feels very different to joke with unfamiliar people and joke with familiar people.

At this moment, Song Peiyu can only rejoice that the most unforgiving monk Lu Ji is in Yanzhou, and he will not rush back to Xianyang until the day of his and Chong Yi's wedding is completely settled.

Song Peiyu pushed the unsealed box in front of him towards Luo Yong who was standing opposite him across the table, and said aggressively, "I don't want to see what's in the box, look!"

Luo Yong finally saw Song Peiyu's face change, how could he be willing to let Song Peiyu go so easily.Just as he was about to continue joking, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine and shivered involuntarily.

Turning his head subconsciously, he looked in the direction that made him feel creepy.

Luo Yong was looking into Shang Chong's eyes that looked like thick ink.

The rest of the people who had the same thoughts as Luo Yong were also watched by Chong Yi's 'kind' eyes, and they all made the same actions in unison.

She bowed her head obediently, to see what treasure King Xiang sent all the way.

"I don't know if it's something sent by King Xiang or Chu State." Ping Zhang muttered in a low voice, complex emotions flashed across his face.

He also liked dealing with King Xiang very much.

At the birthday banquet of Emperor Xiaodi of the Yan Kingdom, King Xiang also shot an arrow in the back for him.

pity……

Luo Yong was stretching his hand towards the box, when he heard Pingzhang's words, he said casually, "It should be something sent by King Xiang, isn't Chu State still on good terms with Chen State... Hiss!"

Seeing Luo Yong's reaction, everyone thought that there was some priceless treasure in the box.Hearing that Pingzhang specifically mentioned King Xiang and Chu State, his mind was a little distracted, and he immediately focused.

They deliberately took half a step forward, passing Luo Yong to look at the things in the box.

"Huh!"

The people who had just walked half a step backed back again and again. Luo Yong, who was at the front, retreated to the door as quickly as possible, and said incoherently, "I... yes! I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do!"

After Luo Yong finished speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Song Peiyu and Chong Yi, he broke through the door immediately.

Taking advantage of Luo Yong attracting the attention of Chong Yi and Song Peiyu, Bo Yang, who had retreated a few steps with everyone just now, quietly returned to the box that was still wide open, and boldly opened the books stacked on the leftmost side of the box.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Song Peiyu was about to turn his head, but Bai Yang backed up violently, but accidentally bumped into someone who was peeking behind him.

Song Peiyu's suspicious gaze moved from the doorway where no one was there long ago to the place where the sudden cry of pain was heard.Not only Pingzhang and Sheng Tairan who fell on the ground were in a daze, but Wei Zhiyuan and Pingzhang who supported them also looked strange, looking at the sky and the earth, but they refused to look at him and Chongyi.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Song Peiyu was striding close to the box, and the four people who seemed to be still turned around and ran out the door, scolding Luo Yong who ran first for his lack of loyalty, and looking for excuses to escape.

"I have something to do too, so I'll come back another day!" This was the reason why Ping Zhang, who was the general of the Eastern Palace and commanded the ten commanders, was looking for it randomly.

"Sister! My sister is looking for me!" Sheng Tairan completely forgot that his sister Sheng Guifei was hosting a small banquet in the harem to celebrate Prince Najib.

"I'm going to greet Sheng Tairan's sister!" Bo Yang just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, so as not to be silenced, he didn't even know what he said.

Only Wei Zhiyuan, who has been fighting Wei Zhong for many years, can still retain some reason. When he turned his head and saw Chong Yi walking towards the door, he immediately said, "These good days should be left to the crown prince and Yuan Jun." Being alone is the way to go, we won’t bother you!”

Because of Wei Zhiyuan's words, Chong Yi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Song Peiyu who had already walked to the box, and let the person who suddenly became inexplicable slip away.

In the box that King Xiang sent, things were neatly arranged.

On the far left is a stack of books, and the rest are wooden boxes, large and small, tightly fitted together.

Just from the neatness of the box after it was opened, one can see King Xiang's intentions in preparing this gift.

Song Peiyu couldn't be happy about it.

His eyes were first attracted by the stack of books on the left side of the box.

'Begonia in Spring·Longyang'

There are countless imitations of the famous books of the former dynasty, but the authentic ones have never appeared.

In a little-known study room in the East Palace, on one wall of the bookshelves, there are imitations of 'Begonia in Spring'.

Song Peiyu knew what was inside without opening the book.

Song Peiyu closed her eyes fiercely, and looked at something more conspicuous than the book, which was the gift list laid flat on the wooden box on the right side of the book.

Both the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the gift list are written with the character 'Xi'.

In addition, there are many small details that are thoughtful, such as the entire gift list is pink like peach blossoms, which not only corresponds to happy events, but also does not make the handwriting on it unclear.

Song Peiyu followed the gift list and looked down from the top.

"Begonia in Spring·Longyang" authentic work, twelve volumes.

Twelve styles of peaches, imitating the palace utensils of the Ning Dynasty.

Qinhe 24 recipes, the secret recipe of Ning Dynasty.

……

Song Peiyu looked numbly at the gift list from top to bottom, and then from the bottom to the top.

Very good, the things above are all things that Chong Yi is very interested in, and asked people to secretly collect things that they haven't found for a long time.

Even people who are not good at Longyang, as long as they have enough knowledge, they will not be ignorant of these things.

Especially Ning Chao...

A dynasty that existed briefly for 50 years.

The emperors of the three generations were all fond of Longyang, and played crazy in private.

As a result, when future generations mentioned Ning Dynasty, they would only think of the romantic affairs and various strange medicines handed down from Ning Dynasty.

Chong Yi will send people to secretly search for Ning Chao's things, that is, to find the medicine on the gift list.

The effect of these medicines not only has the effect of adding to the fun, but also has a miraculous effect on maintenance, especially the place where maintenance should not be done.

No matter how many times Song Peiyu looked back and forth on the gift list, the handwriting on the gift list would not change in any way.

Thinking of the appearance of Luo Yong and others when they fled, Song Peiyu actually felt a little distressed.

When Luo Yong and others saw the gift list, they would definitely not be less shocked than him.

At least he can use these things, but Luo Yong and others...

No, he can't make it up!

Song Peiyu's numb eyes suddenly became sharp, and he reached out to grab the gift list, but Chong Yi, who had been standing quietly behind him for a long time, grabbed his arm.

Chong Yi hugged Song Peiyu from behind, carried Song Peiyu to a safe distance away from the box, and said in a muffled voice, "There is nothing wrong with these things."

"Then who is at fault?" Song Peiyu raised his head and looked at Chong Yi, his eyes were full of threats. It seemed that Chong Yi couldn't understand this question, not to mention the things in the box, and Chong Yi would also suffer.

There was a hesitation in Chong Yi's eyes, which caused Song Peiyu to snort in dissatisfaction before saying, "It's Luo Yong's fault, and I'll punish them tomorrow."

After all, King Xiang collected these things and sent them all the way.

No matter how cruel Chong Yi was, he didn't have the heart to blame King Xiang.

Song Peiyu was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with Chong Yi's answer.

In fact, he couldn't think about it at all right now.

If he knew these things were in the box, he would never let Luo Yong and the others get close to the box.

When she buried her face in Chongyi's chest expressionlessly, the same thought as before flashed through Song Peiyu's mind again, "Fortunately, Lu Jihe is still in Yanzhou. '

Song Peiyu was depressed for a long time, but she still couldn't ease her mood.

No matter what they do, the backs of Luo Yong and others who were shocked and fled are always in their minds.

Annoyed, Song Peiyu angrily dragged Chong Yi to study the book of "Begonia Flowers".

I hope these things can be worthy of the people he lost.

After finally recovering from this, and being able to face up to the embarrassment of that day, Song Peiyu suddenly received a gift from Sheng Tairan.

Sheng Tairan didn't come to the East Palace in person, he went into the palace to visit Concubine Sheng, and when he was about to leave the palace, he asked people to bring things to the East Palace.

Song Peiyu looked at the small box as big as a palm in front of her with heavy eyes.

Judging from Sheng Tairan's reaction that day, and the appearance of avoiding the East Palace since that day.

It's hard for Song Peiyu not to suspect that Sheng Tairan was too stimulated and wanted to break up with him and Chong Yi.

what's in the box...

Could it be something he or Chongyi gave to Sheng Tairan in the past?

Song Peiyu shook her head and immediately denied this guess.

Even if they really wanted to break up their friendship, it wouldn't be so bad.

It was useless to think too much, Song Peiyu took a deep breath and opened the box violently.

'Snapped! '

The box was tightly buckled.

Song Peiyu rubbed her stiff face and opened the box again.

Very good, there is no difference from before, it is still a piece of light and fluffy silk.

The words embroidered with special silk threads on the silk are also secret recipes handed down from the Ning Dynasty.

When Song Peiyu looked at Sijuan in a daze with complicated emotions, Yinbao knocked on the door suddenly.

Bo Yang also gave Song Peiyu a small box.

It was also at the gate of the East Palace, and left after handing over the things to Laifu.

Song Peiyu's eyes moved from the small wooden box that Yin Bao had just put down to the closed small wooden box, and suddenly had a strange premonition.

He felt that the contents of the wooden box sent by Bo Yang were probably similar to the contents of the wooden box sent by Sheng Tairan.

...Suddenly there was the feeling of being whipped repeatedly.

Song Peiyu took a deep breath and opened the small wooden box that Bo Yang sent.

Inside is a slender porcelain bottle, and a piece of hard paper with the fragrance of ink.

Song Peiyu deliberately ignored the slender porcelain bottle, and directly picked up the ink-scented paper to read.

His guess was indeed correct, this was the medicinal dew made by Bo Yang after completing Ning Chao's remnants.

These people seemed to have made an appointment. When Chong Yi returned from the ten-rate camp in the suburbs of Beijing, the small wooden boxes Song Peiyu received had changed from two to five.

Luo Yong, Ping Zhang and Wei Zhiyuan all had a wooden box sent to them.

Song Peiyu felt that these people wanted him to die.

With the big box sent by King Xiang, his night life became more and more abundant.

And even if meng lang slept all night, as long as he got enough sleep, he would be refreshed when he opened his eyes, and he never had a sore back and legs and couldn't get out of bed.

But... the premise is that he gets enough sleep.

Chong Yi never gave him a chance to sleep!

Chong Yi sat beside Song Peiyu who had a weird face, and reached for the wooden box on the table.

When seeing the silk silk of Ning Chao Fangzi recorded in the small wooden box sent by Sheng Tairan, Chong Yi just raised his eyebrows, closed the small wooden box, and put it aside.

Opening the small wooden box that Bo Yang sent, seeing the note written by Bo Yang himself inside, Chong Yi's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and his eyes turned around on the table.

Five small wooden boxes, just right.

"Yes, the apology is very sincere." Chong Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Song Peiyu squinted at Chong Yi, amazed at Chong Yi's face.

Ever since people from the East Palace Elementary School saw the gift from King Xiang, the embarrassment that had always remained in my heart dissipated unknowingly.

After that day, everyone tacitly exposed this embarrassing incident completely.

After Najib is Nazheng, commonly known as Dapin.

Ever since the imperial decree of bestowing marriage was announced to the world, Song Peiyu's elder brothers didn't care much about whether he stayed in the East Palace or took him back to Tianhuju.

Emperor Yonghe and the Song family began to discuss the period of accepting the levy, and Song Peiyu was called home by the old lady next to Mrs. Song.

Before Na Zheng, he and Chong Yi could only meet in the court hall, and private contact was forbidden.

Song Peiyu not only did not show the frustration that could not be concealed like before, but she was all smiles, and promised happily that she would go home in the next court and come to Songhe Hall to accompany Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liu for dinner.

His reaction like this made Mrs. Song, who had made up her mind to hold him before accepting the levy, hesitate.

Song Jinyu received the gaze from Mrs. Song, coughed lightly, and sang blushing under the hint of the old mother, "After all, the raccoon slave has to take care of the important affairs in the court. His Royal Highness also needs the raccoon slave's assistance when handling government affairs. We must not delay Business."

Mrs. Song suddenly realized the sound of 'hmm', "It is true that the raccoon slave's business cannot be delayed, so let the raccoon slave leave the palace before the key is laid in the East Palace."

Seeing Song Jinyu nodding, Mrs. Song turned to look at Song Peiyu, and said in a coaxing tone, "It's only a few days anyway, just bear with it."

Song Peiyu's ears turned red all of a sudden.

He knew that what Mrs. Song told him about Renren was the lovesickness of Renren.

But lately... it's really hard for him not to think too much.

"Ahem" Song Peiyu forcibly calmed down, and said to Mrs. Song in a serious manner, "There is nothing important in the court recently, and the East Palace doesn't need me. There is only one time to accept Zheng, and it's only a few days anyway. It's better to be careful."

Mrs. Song looked at Song Peiyu suspiciously, "Is it really because of conflicts with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Song Peiyu raised her eyelids and looked at Mrs. Song, her clear eyes were full of smiles, "Of course not, we are fine."

It would be even better if you could relax your waist.

Before getting the formula of Ningchao's secret medicine, Song Peiyu never thought that traditional Chinese medicine could be so miraculous that it can automatically lock semen in the case of insufficient semen.

Chong Yi is too long, the actual number of times is not many, but there is no such trouble.

However, due to too many times, Song Peiyu really couldn't bear the feeling that she was having so much fun but had nothing.

It was even scarier than the feeling of dying from exhaustion.

Mrs. Song saw that Song Peiyu's face was shy behind her ears, and her face was very ruddy. She really didn't look sullen, so she was completely relieved.

After she was relieved, Mrs. Song immediately remembered that Song Peiyu said just now that she would go back to the Song Mansion after court every day, and wanted to come to Songhe Hall to accompany her to pass the time.

Mrs. Song thought about this matter again, but refused to say it outright, so she tried every means to hint to Song Peiyu, hoping that Song Peiyu would remember it by herself.

Not only Song Peiyu understood Mrs. Song's hint, but everyone present also understood Mrs. Song's hint.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Ye immediately stood by Mrs. Song's side, insisting that Song Peiyu repeat what she just said.

Song Peiyu didn't dare to argue with the three of them. Naturally, he responded to what the mothers and sister-in-law said.

After the second day of court, Song Peiyu was invited by the Minister of the Household Department to discuss matters, and Chong Yi was impatient to listen to the accounts settled by the Household Department, so he waited in the yard.

Chong Yi was looking at the solitary peach blossom tree in the corner of the yard, deep in thought.

When he and Song Peiyu stayed in Wei County, Song Peiyu often lingered in the garden, where there were a few peach blossom trees with luxuriant branches and leaves.

Later, when Song Peiyu moved between Yizhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou, the places Song Peiyu chose to stay temporarily also had particularly prosperous peach blossom trees.

Since Song Peiyu likes peach blossom trees so much, why not replace all the evergreen trees in the East Palace Garden with peach blossom trees before getting married.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and Chong Yi came back to his senses.

It was Song Jinyu wearing a blue robe.

"Big brother" Chong Yi took the initiative to say hello.

Song Jinyu nodded with a smile, but stopped in front of Chong Yi instead of entering through the space Chong Yi left.

Chong Yi keenly sensed something was wrong.

Although Song Jinyu's attitude towards him was much more kind after the announcement of his marriage with Song Peiyu was made public, but he had never been so kind as to be so close to loving.

Song Peiyu made it clear to the Minister of the Household Department that he was going to go home directly without giving Chongyi any chance to react.

It's a pity that I saw Chong Yi's back as soon as I went out.

Song Peiyu shook her head in frustration, but she didn't know how soft and stretched the smile on her mouth was.

Walk forward with big strides, and soon you will see Song Jinyu standing opposite Chong Yi.Song Peiyu's pace suddenly doubled, "Brother!"

Chong Yi and Song Jinyu immediately turned their heads to look at Song Peiyu who was walking this way.

Song Jinyu's eyes swept away the smile on Song Peiyu's face, and then turned back to Chong Yi, "I am here to take the raccoon slave home by my mother's order."

Chong Yi quickly thought about whether he had offended Song Jinyu recently, and the answer was no.

Turning his head to meet Song Peiyu's smiling eyes, Chong Yi immediately understood that it wasn't Song Jinyu who offended him, but Song Peiyu.

Thinking about the reason why he offended Song Peiyu, Chong Yi's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Chong Yi tried to intercede with Song Jinyu, who had softened his attitude a lot, but the result was undoubtedly a failure.

Not only could he just watch Song Peiyu leave the palace with Song Jinyu without any memory, but he also heard that until Nazheng, Song Peiyu would not stay overnight in the East Palace, nor could he stay overnight in Song Peiyu's Tianhu residence.

When the figure in his eyes was completely gone, Chong Yi immediately turned around and went straight to the apse of Qinzheng Hall.

He wants to accept the levy today, apply for a deadline tomorrow, and welcome him the day after tomorrow.

King Xiang still doesn't know about the series of follow-ups caused by the box of wedding gifts he gave to Chongyi and Song Peiyu.

Even if he knew about these things, King Xiang wouldn't care too much, he simply didn't have the extra energy to care about what happened in Xianyang.

After the emperor of Chu suddenly went to court, he left an order for King Xiang to go to court for him.

He also asked the courtiers to tell King Xiang everything they wanted to say to him, and then King Xiang would tell him.

During the period, the crown prince wanted to stop Emperor Chu, but not only did he not change his mind, but was extremely embarrassed by Emperor Chu's calm and straightforward tone.

The prince and the courtiers who supported the prince took it for granted that King Xiang was a thorn in his side.

The courtiers who did not deal with the prince welcomed King Xiang back to the court very much. On the first day of King Xiang's court, they pretended to have a long talk with King Xiang, and told King Xiang a lot of sufferings from the prince.

Poor King Xiang listened but didn't want to listen, hid but didn't dare to hide, not only couldn't let the courtiers find out his true thoughts, but also had to write down what the courtiers said.

He didn't intend to tell the Emperor Chu about these things, but if the Emperor Chu took the initiative to ask, he would not hide it for the prince.

King Xiang did not expect that the Emperor Chu, who showed no interest in government affairs and delegated power to any prince, would ask him on the first day he returned to the court. What did he say

It's all about the prince's fault.

King Xiang tried his best to choose, and it was not a serious fault for the prince, so he told the emperor of Chu first.

During this period, King Xiang was always paying attention to the changes in Chu Huang's mood, and whenever Chu Huang showed signs of anger, he would stop immediately.

This is not cowardly.

This is for the good of the Emperor Chu, and also for the officials who impeached the prince.

However, Emperor Chu's state of mind was as peaceful as ever, and he even followed the words of King Xiang and complained to the crown prince.

In the end, he always smiled embarrassedly, "Maybe the prince will pay attention next time. I can't always reprimand the prince with trivial matters. The prince is already so old, and he still has to be reprimanded by his old father in a well-known situation. Where do you put your face?"

While King Xiang was speechless, he was also completely relieved.

The eccentricity is so clear and speechless that it is the old man he is familiar with.

Seeing that Emperor Chu not only accepted the courtiers' dissatisfaction with the prince well, but also adjusted his emotions, King Xiang could rest assured to tell Emperor Chu about the next few major events.

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's more serious than a trivial matter.

Compared to the old prince, King Jia's time as prince was still too short.

Moreover, after King Xiang was canonized as the prince, most of his mind was put on the alliance with Chen Guo and Yuzhou Chu City, and the political affairs of Jingzhou were handed over to the bosses in the court and his confidantes instead.

The prince is at that age, and in the early years, he was completely unable to compete with the old prince, and he had never cultivated his own power at all. Even after becoming a prince, suddenly many people were willing to defect to him, and he preferred to use the easy way people.

Most of the power in the hands of the prince is given to people who have been working for him many years ago.

Most of these people are related to the prince's mother's or wife's family.

The elders in the court have at least been up and down in the court for decades, have served the emperor of Chu and the old prince one after another, and have the full support of a family with deep background behind them.

In just a few years after King Jia was canonized as the crown prince, most of the political affairs of the court fell into the hands of the elders, and the crown prince's confidantes could only touch some corners at most.

It wasn't until the prince's daughter, Princess Jiayi, and Chen Guoxuantai's happy event was approaching, and the situation in Yuzhou would become more and more stable, that the prince turned more energy back to Jingzhou.

This is also the direct reason why the conflict between Chuchen and the prince broke out suddenly.

The prince was dissatisfied with the ignorance of the veterans, so he didn't immediately hand over the power in his hands to his confidantes, and personally gathered the power.

The veterans felt that the prince's confidants were not worthy.

Even the prince has something to learn, not to mention those cronies of the prince who are not on the stage.

After the prince was canonized as the crown prince, Hao Erlang, who had not yet become an official in their family, went to join him, but the prince abandoned him.They thought that the prince's confidant was a genius and all-rounder who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhao Guo and Song Peiyu, but it turned out...hehe.

They also don't ask the prince's confidants to really be able to do what Zhao Guo Song Peiyu did, Wen can benefit the country and the people, and martial arts can attack the city and expand the land. After so many years, he has been running around with Prince Zhao and managed the city that Prince Zhao has laid down. Well organized and never had a mistake.

After all, although there are "perfect people" in the world, they are a minority. When they were alive, it was a rare blessing to see Zhao Guo and Song Peiyu.

The prince's confidants made the elders feel that it was not worth their effort to cultivate them.

So far, most of the political affairs of Chu State are still in the hands of the elders.

The prince has no power in his hands, and he has no chance to make a 'big mistake'.

Sure enough, the Emperor Chu was not angry because the veterans were dissatisfied with the prince.

He was neither angry with the veterans nor the prince, nor did he want to make decisions for anyone.

When the old ministers tested King Xiang, what was the emperor's attitude?

King Xiang told the courtiers with a heavy face that the Emperor of Chu was depressed because of this, and he missed a meal.

When the veterans heard the words, they didn't dare to continue to ask questions, and they specially told King Xiang to pay attention to the mood of the emperor when he was talking with the emperor of Chu, and stop immediately when he found that the emperor was agitated.

Now they all hope that Emperor Chu can live a few more years.

After all, they have reasons not to delegate power to the prince, but they have no reason not to delegate power to the emperor.

As long as the tiger talisman is still in the hands of Emperor Chu, they will not be afraid of the prince.

King Xiang gradually got used to the days when he dozed off at court every day, and was caught and complained by veterans at next court, and he could still complain to Emperor Chu about which adult spoke to him, and his words were particularly biased.

He felt that the days didn't seem to have changed, it was still two points and one line between the palace and the palace.

But the prince felt that since King Xiang started to go to court again, his life was very sad.

Not only those old things in the hall still did not give an inch, guarding him like they were guarding against thieves.

Even the Chu army stationed in Chucheng, Yuzhou, did not make it easy for him!

The marriage of Chu and Chen is imminent, and the Chu army can actually watch Zhao Guo break through the city of Chen Guo, close the gate and slaughter the old Li family!

Upon receiving the news from Jingzhou, the prince immediately smashed all the decorations in the study.

Did these people take his orders to heart?

If all the members of the old Li family in Chu City were killed, Chu City could be completely controlled, would he wait until now?

Sure enough, the Chu army was indifferent to Zhao Jun's breach of Chen Guocheng, and closed their doors to slaughter the old Li family in Chu city, which made Yuzhou, which had barely maintained a false peace, become tense again.

The first city that suffered a change was the city where the old Li family was slaughtered while the Zhao army attacked Chencheng.

The Chu army in the city thought that without the old Li family, they would be at ease, but they did not expect that after the disappearance of the old Li family in the city, the people would suddenly lose control.

It wasn't until they had to withdraw from the inner city and stick to the outer city wall that the Chu army realized that they had never been recognized by the people of Yuzhou after they had entered the city of Yuzhou for so long.

If it weren't for Chen Cheng's lack of troops, and he was wholeheartedly guarding against Zhao Jun who had already entered Yuzhou, they might have been...

Today, the Chu army in these cities can only count on the support from the rear.

But they didn't know that since the news of the massacre of the old Li family in Chu City in the north gradually spread to the south, all the Chu people in Chu City in Yuzhou began to be overwhelmed with self-care.

The old Li family, who was afraid that they would be silently wiped out, directly broke with the Chu army.

These old Li aristocratic families not only have food storage and private soldiers, but also the trust of the people in the city.

The Chu army had to withdraw from the inner city and defend the outer city wall.

They are also waiting for support from Jingzhou.

After the news of Yuzhou was sent back to Chu State, the old ministers and the prince had another fierce quarrel.

The old ministers thought that they should take advantage of this opportunity to transfer troops from Jingzhou to Yuzhou to thoroughly clean up the old Li family and suppress the people of Yuzhou.

The prince still refused to give up the alliance with Chen Guo.

Up to now, he still stubbornly believes that the alliance between Chu State and Chen State can continue, and even wants to take the initiative to apologize to Chen State and ask Chen State to help calm the restlessness in Chu City, Yuzhou.

The two sides broke up again.

The elders told the prince categorically.

Or send troops to Yuzhou, integrate the forces, and take as many Yuzhou cities as possible. Whether the remaining cities are taken by Zhao State or Chen State has nothing to do with Chu State.

Or withdraw all the Chu troops in Yuzhou, and use the vacant city to sell it to Zhao Guo.

There is no third choice anymore.

If the prince insists on going his own way, he insists on continuing to form an alliance with Chen Guo, and wants to take the initiative to apologize to Chen Guo.

They can't give anything except a dowry to Princess Jiayi, so the crown prince is asked to figure out a way for himself.

The old ministers were not in the mood to stop King Xiang from complaining, but King Xiang was not used to it.

After going to court, he hesitated for a while, but finally went to the East Palace.

Although he didn't deal with the prince, he still hoped that the prince would be well.

If the prince is changed again, it will be an endless chaos for Chu State, which will only intensify the consumption of Jingzhou.

King Xiang entered the East Palace calmly, and before it was time for a stick of incense, he rushed out of the gate of the East Palace with a face full of anger, and went straight to the gate of the palace.

He had to calm down before going to see the old man.

In the East Palace, the Prince's mood was even worse than King Xiang's. He smashed everything in the study to pieces. This was the fifth time in three months.

The prince kicked over the multi-treasure stand with a ferocious expression, and he was not relieved when he saw the things on the multi-treasure stand fell to the ground one after another. He suddenly took off the decorative sword on the wall, and slashed at the multi-treasure stand crazily, as if he regarded the multi-treasure stand as a King Xiang.

Seeing the prince's crazy appearance, the palace people dared not approach them, for fear that the prince would suddenly feel that chopping up the multi-treasure frame was not enjoyable enough, so he rushed towards them and scrambled out of the study.

It wasn't until he was completely exhausted that the prince threw away the pitted sword.

The sword fell to the ground and hit the shattered jade on the ground, making a loud sound.

The prince was exhausted and walked towards the only space left in the study, leaning against the wall with all his strength, and slowly closed his eyes.

It seemed that those uncontrollable emotions left with the exhausted physical strength.

The prince was thinking about what King Xiang had said to him.

King Xiang persuaded him to rein in the precipice, and unceremoniously pointed out that he cooperated with Chen Guo to compete for the crown prince.

"Back then, you were the prince who could become the crown prince half a step ahead, so you urgently needed the support of Chen Guo and the credit of Yuzhou. Now that you are the prince of Chu, why should you cling to Chen Guo?"

Yes!

He grabbed Chen Guo and did not let him go.

King Xiang actually had the face to laugh at him.

Could it be that King Xiang has a lot of face for holding on to Zhao Guo?

Hate flashed in the prince's eyes.

Since you like Zhao Guo so much, why do you want to come back?

How good it is to stay in Xianyang.

Neither the old ministers of Chu Jing nor the crown prince could persuade anyone, and they were unwilling to bow their heads first, but the Chu army in Yuzhou Chu City suffered a lot.

When the prince sent troops to Yuzhou, the emperor of Chu had newly cast Yuzhou Chu Army Tiger Talisman for the prince.

As long as the prince does not speak, no one can mobilize the Chu army in Yuzhou.

Except for the Chu army in the north of Yuzhou, after slaughtering the old Li family in the city, they thought they were safe and secure, but suddenly encountered a riot from the people and fled to the outer city wall in a hurry.

In other Chu cities in Yuzhou, the Chu army was already extremely vigilant against the old Li family, and had already moved their luggage to a hidden location near the outer city wall, and they could still hold on for a while.

After the Northern Chu Army in Yuzhou had no supplies at all, they did not hesitate to attack the people of Yuzhou in the city.

They were forced to the outer city wall by the people in the inner city, not because they were afraid of the people in the inner city, but because they always remembered the words engraved in their bones from the first day of their service.

'The city slaughterer, the nine clans'

With the madness of the people in the inner city, once they make a move, it is by no means that they can stop it if they want to.

That's why the Chu army in the north of Yuzhou retreated to the outer city wall.

But they will never starve to death on the outer city wall because of this sentence.

The leader of the Chu army knew very well that even if he did not order people to go to the inner city to grab food, the soldiers would still go to the city to grab food when they were too hungry.

As long as there is a Chu army who kills the people in the inner city, or a Chu army dies at the hands of the people in the inner city.

He could no longer control the situation.

By that time, the massacre will inevitably happen.

In the process of robbing food, Chu Jun saw what they wanted to see.

After losing the guidance of the old Li family, the people in the city only erupted for a short time. After being chilled by the Chu army for a few days, they no longer had the previous resentment.

When the Chu army entered the city to rob food, the common people ran away upon hearing the news, and they never saw the posture of desperately fighting the Chu army a few days ago.

The leader of the Chu army breathed a sigh of relief, and found that the Chu army's luggage in the city was reduced by nearly one-third, and he didn't care about the people in the city, so he immediately ordered the Chu army to withdraw to the outer city wall again.

Just when the leader of the Chu army thought that the crisis was about to pass, and when the people in the city calmed down completely, and the city would still belong to the Chu state, he received a secret letter from Prince Chu.

The content of the letter made the Chu army leader's eyes tear open.

The Crown Prince of Chu ordered that Chu City, which slaughtered the old Li family, be vacated and handed over to Chen Guo.

The Chu army who left the city obeyed Chen Guo's order and helped Chen Guo take back the city of Yuzhou that had been captured by Zhao Guo.

In this way, he redeemed the crime of slaughtering the old Li family for no reason, and calmed the anger of the people in Yuzhou.

Not long after the leader of the garrison in Chu City received the letter, he heard that the scouts had come to report that Chen Jun was only two days away from them.

After the leader of the Chen army found out about the scouts of Chu, he asked the scouts of Chu to give a message to the leader of the Chu city garrison.

He hoped that when he arrived at the city, he could enter the city immediately, and asked the leader of the garrison of Chu City to order troops as soon as possible without delay.

The leader of the garrison in Chu City was so angry that he immediately tore up Prince Chu's secret letter to pieces.

Who doesn't know the relationship between the old Li family and Chen Guo?

It was enough for the prince to give up the city to the state of Chen, but he even asked the Chu army in the city to follow the orders of the state of Chen to attack the city of Yuzhou, which was occupied by the state of Zhao.

Isn't this letting them die?

Pooh!

The leaders of the Chu army in several cities in the north of Yuzhou reached a unified opinion in the shortest possible time.
