History of Yongwu

The night wind gradually picked up, and the several stoves in the pavilion could not keep out the cold wind. King Jin got up and took everyone back to the hall.

Chu Lan and Chu's father and Chu's mother sat aside, their faces were red, and they were smiling and whispering. Qin Yu looked around and waved to Chu Qian over there.

"Brother" he pointed to the endgame on the table, "If you have a good mood, play a game with me"

"I'm honored." Chu Qian sat down with a smile.

The two came and went, Chu Qian stopped for a moment, shook his head and said, "My lord, this is a stalemate."

"Yes." Qin Yu also put down the chess pieces, frowned and said, "I have been solving this endgame for many days, but I still have no clue."

Looking at his expression, Chu Qian always felt that there was something in King Jin's words, and asked tentatively, "Some endgames are just like this, so I don't care too much, after all, it's just a game of chess."

"That's right, it's just a game of chess, not government affairs." Qin Yu chuckled and picked up his teacup.

Chu Qian was even more skeptical in his heart, thought over and over again, and said, "The government is simple, except for the weak state of Zhao, the world has been pacified by the prince, and the prince will be at ease."

"Haha...then I have to borrow my brother's auspicious words." Qin Yu laughed a little at himself, "The world is peaceful, so how can we rest in peace, and my brother is gone? It's the past?"

"Where is the prince worried?"

"Brother, you and this king are close relatives, don't you know my king's worries?" Qin Yu asked back.

Hearing this, Chu Qian paused, looked at King Jin and said, "My lord is worried about persecution by the prime ministers and grand masters in the court?"

"Worried but not a serious problem." Qin Yu shook his head.

"Queen Mother, Marquis Wen wins over Yu Yi's generation?" Chu Qian tried again.

"The huge land of Wu, and Mingyue Ben Wang have all been wiped out. Are you afraid that Yu Yi will fail? The time for the Jianping military system is still short!"

"My humble minister is dull." Chu Qian bowed his head, showing shame.

Alas... Qin Yu looked to the side, sighed and said, "The king's worries are both in the court and in the mansion. The army went south that day and had no choice. Now we can see the disaster of that day."

Chu Qian didn't make a sound, the answer could only be decided after he discussed with his father. He raised his head and followed King Jin's gaze. Chu Lan happened to look over there and smiled at King Jin. King Jin also looked at him. She smiled and nodded.

Chu House

After the third watch, even on New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers had long since disappeared on the street, and Chu's deep house was even more silent. In Chu Song's study, two shadows were cast on the window, stretching very long.

"En." Chu Song nodded, and after hearing what Chu Qian had said, he said slowly, "Lan'er and your mother also said that the relationship between the princess and the king of Jin seems...not harmonious."

"The country is difficult, otherwise why bother?" Chu Song thought about what Chu Lan had learned, which should be the words from the heart of King Jin.

"My son speculates that the Fan clan of Jin State and other clans are all staying in Daliang, and there are only Guanzhong clan and Gyeonggi clan in the capital. Now that the Queen Mother and others are provoking the court, King Jin has to win over the two parties, and Xianghou waits for the nobles in Gyeonggi. I want to rely on this matter, and with Jin Wangfei being beside Jin Wang, take this opportunity to control Jin Wang."

Zhao Zhiping only said a few words, and Chu Qian could easily guess the faint worry of the King of Jin. After all, the King of Jin is extremely glorious now, and he is the future emperor. Xianghou can't help it.

"The king of Jin is not a generation who can be slaughtered by others, he will definitely not make Xianghou and others happy," Chu Song replied.

Chu Qian nodded, suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is!"

"What?" Chu Song looked at him.

"I once heard Zhao Zhiping talk about Qi Jinyu having a daughter who is just in her prime and seems to want to be married to the King of Jin. It seems that the King of Jin also intends to make Qi Jinyu and others fight against the Marquis Xiang."

Chu Song listened quietly without answering, his eyebrows gradually tightened, and he thought carefully.

"In this way," Chu Qian also said thoughtfully, "The king of Jin hesitated to speak, and he should be wandering between Qi Jinyu and me, Chu, so he hesitated to say more."

"If the marriage can really make all the Guanzhong clans loyal and make Qi Jinyu and others resist Xianghou, how can King Jin be stingy with a marriage contract?"

"What does father mean?" Chu Qian replied.

"Jin Wang Xiong sees the world, how can he be tied down by his son and daughter's personal relationship, even if he loves Lan'er, he doesn't have to favor my Chu family, unless..." Chu Song paused for a while.

"what?"

"Qian'er, have you forgotten that the Empress Dowager is sending her message to Guanzhong, and there are rumors that were raging all those years ago?"

Chu Qian suddenly realized that "the king of Jin was afraid that Qi Jinyu would turn to the queen mother"

Although the Jianping military system cannot threaten the King of Jin now, if Qi Jinyu turns against him and calls on the children of Guanzhong, even if Yu Yi cannot defeat the King of Jin, it will be enough to stop the King of Jin and spy on Jiuding

If at this time, the Jingji gentry took advantage of the situation to threaten the King of Jin in order to help him ascend the throne in exchange for court power, wouldn't it be worse for the King of Jin.

"Maybe" Chu Song's gray eyebrows moved, and there was a trace of strangeness in his tone of voice, "Jin Wang just knows that Qi Jinyu has such thoughts, so he is so urgent."

Both Qi Jinyu and Marquis Xiang wanted to take this opportunity to coerce the King of Jin in exchange for the power. With the heart of the King of Jin, how could he compromise? After thinking about this, Chu Qian's expression changed slightly. Both of them lowered their heads and remained silent. After a while, Chu Qian spoke .

"Father, this is Chu's chance"

"I'm afraid..."

"Father" Chu Qian looked at him, "The King of Jin needs a helper. If the Chu family takes action, it will be like sending charcoal in the snow. No, it's the prince, from the Chu family."

After all, the land of Wu is only a corner. After the world is settled, the capital is the center, and only those who win a place there can be the real famous families.Mrs. Chu is standing outside the door, as long as she takes a step, she can get that piece of world, even the biggest piece.

Chu Song stared at him for a long time, his beard trembling slightly, and his palms were clenched tightly.

"Time waits for no one, God sends Chu's great prosperity"

Chu Qian laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder. Chu Song turned his head and looked, Chaoyang just showed his head, like the Chu family who was about to be in the sky.

It was high in the sun, Chu Qian and his parents finished their breakfast, and just wanted to take a car to the Taiping Palace to meet King Jin.

"Qianer" Chu Song stopped him, and said solemnly, "If the King of Jin agrees, I, Chu, will withdraw from this matter. If the King of Jin does not say yes or no, then this matter can be done."

"Then how to be sure?"

"Zhao Zhiping is the confidant of the King of Jin. If the King of Jin summons Zhao Zhiping into the palace to discuss after you, it can be seen that the King of Jin is really worried."

Chu Qian nodded, saluted and said, "Son understands."

Taiping Palace

Qin Yu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and was thinking about something with sullen brows, when suddenly footsteps came from behind him.

"My lord, Chu Qian begs to see me"

The corners of his lips raised, his eyebrows opened, and he turned around and said, "Please come in."

Chu Qian tidied up his sleeves and quickly entered the hall, "See the prince"

"Senior brother, no courtesy." Qin Yu asked with a smile, "Senior brother, what's the matter here today?"

"Leaving last night, I can't sleep at night. The prince is worried about the world, but the ministers are here safely. The merits of no size are really ashamed of the prince's kindness." Chu Qian saluted deeply, with shame on his face.

"The current stability of Wudi is thanks to Shixiong and your Chu family, which relieved the king from many worries. Shixiong underestimated himself," Qin Yu said with a smile.

"With all my modest efforts, it's not enough to remember, and now the hidden worries in Beijing are still there..." Chu Qian said, throwing up his robe and knelt down, "If the prince wants the Chu family to be loyal, I will be determined to repay the prince's kindness."

"Hidden worries..." Qin Yu looked at him and muttered without saying a word.

Chu Qian knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his heart gradually became a little nervous, he finally understood his father's last instruction, King Jin's reputation for being suspicious was indeed well-deserved.

"Brother, get up." Qin Yu finally helped him up, patted his hand and said, "You and this king are a family, and I have written it down faithfully. Brother, go to the back to see the princess, and greet the two elders for this king."

"Yes, I will resign"

Qin Yu watched him leave, and said to Li Han next to him, "Go and call Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Zhiping arrived in a short while, just entered the hall, the two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, but did not speak.

"Sir, please stay with me for a while." Qin Yu poured two cups of tea and motioned him to sit down. "I have to let Chu Qian watch my husband leave the palace for a while."

"My lord is still thoughtful." Zhao Zhiping sat beside him.

"Father Chu and his son are as shrewd as two foxes, otherwise I wouldn't be able to play such a big show with Mr." Qin Yu shook his head.

"Indeed." Zhao Zhiping also nodded with a smile and said, "Now not only the Chu family, but even the nobles of Wudi believe in the prince's plight, so it should be foolproof."

"One person should be able to guess right," Qin Yu said suddenly.

"who?"

"His Royal Highness!"

Sima Shaojun... Zhao Zhiping was stunned for a moment, feeling that the King of Jin thought too highly of this person.

"So, don't let His Highness the Crown Prince say anything that will spoil the king's affairs." Qin Yu looked at Zhao Zhiping.

"The humble minister takes orders"

In the harem, just after seeing his sister, Chu Qian followed the guards leading the way and walked slowly outside the palace. Just as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a carriage leaving not far away.

"Who just left?" Chu Qian asked the guard at the palace gate.

"It's Mr. Zhao's carriage," the guard replied.

really!Chu Qian suppressed the joy in his eyes, got into the carriage immediately, and returned to Chu's house.

Everything came to fruition, and Chu Qian was ordered to enter the palace again. Qin Yu took advantage of the situation and said that he hoped that the Chu family could follow him into Beijing to help him.

On the Yanglan River, just after the first month of the lunar year, the bustling cruise ships and painting boats came out. The landscape in the south of the Yangtze River, once the New Year passed, the spring breeze seemed to blow very fast.

On the pier, an extremely tall building boat was docked on the bank, with its back to the side of the river bank, and two people stood on the second-floor deck.

A person in a lotus-colored gown, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, raised his hand and slowly raised the black gauze curtain, "Mr. Xie" His voice was melodious, but his voice was extremely low.

When the person opposite saw his appearance, his eyes flashed with astonishment, and then he calmed down and said, "Mr. Feiyan"

Lin Wanfeng nodded, put down the black gauze curtain and did not speak. Seeing this, Mr. Xie continued, "Mr. Chu invited the King of Jin for a cruise today. It is not difficult to attract the King of Jin with your appearance. I hope you will do your best. I, Mrs. Xie, will naturally try my best to help." , the glory and wealth are here in one fell swoop."

"Thank you, son" saluted in the evening wind, with a dignified expression under the bamboo hat.

Mr. Xie left, Lin Wanfeng stood alone on the deck, looking at the mountains on both sides, for some reason, he remembered the surname Bai, that old bastard really disappeared as soon as he said he was gone.

If I die here today, I don't have to bear any grudges against you.

After a while, about half an hour, a group of soldiers came up from the pier, with tight guards on both sides, and the nearby people were driven back to their houses.

A moment later, King Jin's chauffeur came slowly, and Lin Wanfeng listened carefully to the sound of worship from the people on the bank, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he couldn't stop thinking about today's plan.

"stop!!"

Whoosh... The arrow feathers flew out continuously, there was a commotion from the pier, Lin Wanfeng's eyes widened slightly, and he ran out regardless of Mr. Xie's advice before.

There was some confusion on the pier, those nobles in brocade robes were full of fear and shock, and not far away, a group of black armored soldiers surrounded one person, and they were walking quickly to the carriage.

"Jin Wang!!" Lin Wanfeng knew that the crowd must be Jin Wang.

"Master Feiyan" Mr. Xie suddenly appeared by his side, blocking his way and said, "Now is not the right time, King Jin has been assassinated, you may be suspected of being an assassin if you step forward now."

In the distance, King Jin had already been escorted back to the carriage, Lin Wanfeng only saw one sleeve, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered.

Frowning, he looked back at Mr. Xie, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xie, this matter is very important to me and Mr. Xie. I beg you to think of a way."

"Naturally." Mr. Xie smiled, but there was a hint of joy.Mrs. Chu invited the King of Jin for a cruise, but met an assassin. Such a good thing, but instead helped Mrs. Xie.

One assassin was killed and one was injured, and the injured one escaped. The whole city of Jianye City was sealed off to search for the assassin.The Chu family led by Chu Qian personally, and the Chu family was busy looking for assassins to prove their innocence.

two days later

"Chu Qian hasn't caught the assassin yet?"

"Having no clue." Zhao Zhiping shook his head, frowning, "Why don't you let General Li and Lu Cong go together, we will surely catch the assassin?"

"Sir, don't you know who sent the assassin?" Qin Yu looked at him and said with an unchanged expression, "It's nothing but Jingli, since you know, why arrest him?"

"My lord wants to scare Mrs. Chu"

"That's right, we can't make them too proud, or they will forget their identity"

Jingli... Zhao Zhiping muttered something in his heart, just about to remind King Jin to be careful again, but Li Han came in from outside the palace.

"My lord, son of the Marquis of Xie Guo..." Li Han hesitated for a while, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yu looked at him.

"He brought a person with him, and he said that he sang very well. His lord has been harassed by assassins recently, so he dedicated it to his lord..." The more Li Han said, the more weird his face became. He hadn't had such a thing around King Jin for a long time, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. .

Xie Shi...Shocked!Qin Yu muttered, suddenly smiled, looked at Zhao Zhiping and said, "Sir, I have a better idea."

Before Mr. Zhao could react, King Jin got up and strode out, "Take me to the side hall over there, and wait for me."

"Yes"

In the back garden, King Jin sat on a bench, looked at the imperial physician standing beside him, and ordered, "This king heard that the side concubine was frightened, go and have a look."

The imperial physician was puzzled, two days had passed since the assassination, and it was too late to think of checking today.

"The side concubine is young, don't talk to her after the diagnosis, come and report to the king," King Jin instructed again.

There must be something wrong with this matter, the imperial physician has already confirmed it, and immediately took orders to do it.

After the death of King Jin, Zhao Zhiping frowned slightly thinking about the matter, stepped forward for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed."

"Sir, I want to get rid of a group of old clans in Wu land for you first, so that we can implement state affairs more smoothly after we return to Beijing." Qin Yu looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Zhiping thought for a moment and suddenly realized, Shi Li said, "The prince's intelligence is far inferior to that of the humble minister."

"Mr.'s talent lies in the world, in state affairs, and in benefiting the people. My king's talent lies in ensuring that Mr.'s ambition will never fail."

King Jin smiled casually, Zhao Zhiping's heart warmed up, and he saluted King Jin solemnly.

Since ancient times, there are many people who can't know their ministers and trust their ministers. The world says that King Jin is suspicious, but King Jin is the only one in this world who is as thick as the earth and as towering as a mountain. With an extremely determined mind, he blocks all obstacles and insists on state affairs. , Let him and Shen Xuewen and others realize their ambitions.

"It is the greatest blessing in my life for my humble servant to see the prince"

"Haha...it's not Mr.'s doing to be in power." Qin Yu smiled and helped him up.
