Don't steal a man from me

Coming out of the bamboo forest, the two rode their horses straight to the Yingcheng military camp.

Fan Kui personally came out to greet him. He cupped his hands and bowed to Chu Yunqi and Su Jue one after another: "I don't know that the king and the young master are here, so I have to greet you in a hurry. Please forgive me, the king."

"Hey, this polite talk is all about brothers, so it's really strange." Chu Yunqi felt uncomfortable when he heard it, so he slapped Fan Kui and said: "Now that you are a general, you can speak like an idiot." It's become so shabby!"

Fan Kui was slapped, his face flushed, Su Jue stood aside, smiling slightly.

"Lan Jun designed some siege equipment, and we came here to inform the craftsmen of the weapon battalion to build them as soon as possible so that they can be replaced by the whole army." Chu Yunqi took out the silk papers from his arms and said.

"Your Majesty, please come with me, my lord." After hearing this, Fan Kui led the two of them across the training ground to the depths of the camp.Soldiers could be seen practicing along the way, Chu Yunqi smiled with satisfaction, patted Fan Yu on the shoulder and said: "When there is a chance, let the countries in the Central Plains see our great Chu Ruishi."

Before the three of them arrived at the weapons camp, they could hear the sound of banging irons from a distance, and the sizzling sound of hot iron being put into cold water.Fan Kui wanted to tell all the craftsmen to come out and wait for Chu Yunqi's orders, but was stopped by Chu Yunqi, he said: "It's so boring to give orders, Lan Jun and I will go in and have a look."

After speaking, he lowered his head and opened the thick felt curtain and walked in.All the craftsmen were busy with their own affairs, not knowing that their king was coming.

A young swordsmith caught Su Jue's attention. He pulled Chu Yunqi's sleeve and motioned him to look at the swordsmith.Chu Yunqi followed his gaze.

The fiery red firelight hit the young swordsmith's face flickeringly, and his brows were piercing, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was a strong murderous look between his brows and eyes, those eyes were like eagles Shining cold and fierce.He took out a short blade from his pocket and melted a gash on his arm. The dark red blood dripped down his strong arm onto the sword. The young swordsmith held the hilt and poured cold water on it. On the hemolyzed sword, there was a loud "sizzling" sound, and after a burst of white mist, a Qingfeng sword with a cold light was cast.The whole movement was smooth and flowing, and when the young man fed the sword with blood, he never blinked his eyes, which shows that his concentration is extraordinary.

"Cai!" Chu Yunqi clapped his hands and applauded.

The swordsmith raised his head when he heard the sound, and saluted neatly after seeing Chu Yunqi: "See my king!"

"What's your name?" Chu Yunqi raised the swordsmith with one hand and asked.

"White up."

"Very good! From today on, you will join the army and fight with General Fan Kui." Chu Yunqi said.

"promise!"

"I, Chu Fa, you also know that only meritorious service can be awarded, and you start from a small soldier and work hard!" Chu Yunqi patted him on the shoulder and said: "Chu has no shortage of strong generals, and I am waiting for your performance !"

"promise!"

Chu Yunqi smiled, handed over the instruments designed by Su Jue to the craftsmen, and left the weapon camp after giving instructions.

"Your Majesty, I see that Bai Qijue is very human, let him be a small soldier, his sword has no eyes, if there is an emergency in the battlefield, wouldn't I have lost a general?" Fan Kui said.

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka. He must first suffer from his will, his muscles and bones, and his body. If he really dies on the battlefield, he can only be said to be an embarrassment for the position of general. Lan'er has lost his sight." Chu Yunqi said.

After Fan Kui listened, he looked at the king of Chu in black and Zhufeng Huafu. If the former Chu Yunqi was high-spirited and domineering, now he has truly grown into a king—— Wang Dao, The way to control people is to let the world's great talent get its place, use it for yourself, control people's hearts, and be a king!

Su Jue smiled and remained silent.

Since then, Bai Qi, a generation of famous generals known as the "God of War" by the world, came out.

It was a rare day that Su Jue said that he wanted to go to the garden of Chu Palace, and Chu Yunqi was very happy for a while.Because on weekdays, even though he didn't go to court, he thought he would get bored with Su Jue, but in the end, Su Jue would stuff him with some letters on state governance, or military books for him to read, in short, he couldn't let him idle.

Chu Yunqi kept complaining, and finally Su Jue said that he wanted to go to the garden, Chu Yunqi immediately regained his energy, asked the servant to prepare some fish food, and clamored to take Su Jue to feed the fish.

Su Jue smiled, and just walked around the garden. The people in front of her looked like they were on a spring outing. She helplessly watched Chu Yunqi busy, so the servants brought fish food, desks, felt mats, snacks and tea. With the tea set, Haohao hurriedly followed Chu Yunqi out of the bedroom.

Su Jue wore a moon-white golden phoenix shirt, a white jade crown, and the Bian jade around her waist. Ever since Chu Yunqi stepped down, she asked a jade craftsman to recreate a seal, and the Bian jade So she made a jade ornament for Su Jue to wear with her. Su Jue refused repeatedly, but was rejected by Chu Yunqi with a gloomy face, and finally let it go.

Chu Yunqi wore a black robe with gold thread and sun patterns, a black silk balance crown, and a Bian jade pair with Su Jue hanging on his waist. He held Su Jue's hand and walked in the garden.

"Brother Yunqi!" A voice like a silver bell came, and I saw Empress Dowager Wei coming with A Sheng in red. A Sheng saw Chu Yunqi from a distance and called out loudly, and ran over.

Su Jue cupped his hands and bowed to Empress Dowager Wei. Empress Dowager Wei smiled and nodded in response, then turned to look at Chu Yunqi and said, "Why do you have time to visit this garden today?"

"Boy, take Lan Jun out for a walk." Chu Yunqi smiled and said, "Lan'er only knows to stay in the palace and read books all day long. I was afraid that he would be badly seated, so I dragged him out." Su Jue's hand was slightly cold, Su Jue turned to look at him and smiled slightly without saying a word.

"Brother Yun Qi doesn't play with me, what kind of princess do you want me to be, hmph! You know Lan Er all day, Lan Er! If you like Brother Lan so much, marry him as soon as possible." grimace.

Su Jue's ears turned red when she said it so unabashedly, he struggled a little uncomfortably, Chu Yunqi was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed loudly: "Lan'er, did you hear, Sheng'er let the widow marry you."

All the servants bowed their heads and followed behind without changing their expressions. They were used to seeing that the king of Chu was tired of Su Jue all day long. The values ​​of the servants had long been subverted, and the male queen was also very good.

Empress Dowager Wei's eyes flashed sharply, she smiled and said, "Why does Sheng'er make all kinds of jokes? Accompany the empress mother for a walk by the lake."

"Hey." Asheng agreed, and leaned against Queen Mother Wei.

Chu Yunqi frowned, put his arms around Su Jue's waist and said, "Queen, let me enjoy the flowers with you!"

Su Jue gave a "tsk", pinched the center of her brows, broke free, lowered her eyes and said softly, "It's just a joke, why do you take it seriously?"

"Who said that?" Chu Yunqi stepped forward and shook his hand and said, "I'm going to marry you, or it doesn't matter if I marry you." After speaking, he smiled slyly.

Su Jue was amused by his last sentence. He glanced at Chu Yunqi. The Queen Mother Wei was kind and amiable to herself, but she was determined not to let her son be scolded by the world. A man's love makes everyone in the world. It's nothing to ridicule, ordinary people are fine, the key is that Chu Yunqi is the king, Su Jue sighed lightly, looked up at the Queen Mother Wei who was wearing a black dress in the distance, and her eyes gradually became blurred.

Chu Yunqi frowned. Su Jue was in a good mood, but being disturbed like this made her feel somewhat unhappy.

Yes, the queen mother would never accept Su Jue no matter what, no matter how much he did for herself and for the state of Chu.

In the words of Empress Dowager Wei: "Mr. Zhaowen is a great talent in the universe. It is a blessing for my son to have it. If it is a daughter, I will personally marry them. It is a pity that there are two things in this world. ?”

Chu Yunqi sneered, falling in love is falling in love, it has nothing to do with gender, whether it is Xiaoyaozi's disciples, Zhao Wenjun, or Chu Xiang, the focus is on him, not what kind of him he is.

He is Chu Yunqi, not King Cheng of Chu. Whether the Empress Dowager Wei accepts it or not, he, Chu Yunqi, is the only one in Su Jue's life.

Thinking so, he held Su Jue's hand tightly, and remained silent without speaking.

Today, Chu Yunqi was playing chess with Su Jue.The servant came to report that General Wei Ran asked to see him.

Chu Yunqi tucked a sunspot between his slender fingers, frowned, and said: "Please wait at the side of the hall, the general, I will pass right away." The servant agreed and withdrew.

Chu Yunqi said: "Lan'er will go with me?"

Su Jue shook her head and said: "Zhu Kingdom must have something important to do here, I am no longer regent, so it's better not to come forward."

"Uncle usually goes straight to the queen mother when he enters the palace, this is the first time he bluntly said that he wants to see the widow." Chu Yunqi got up and said.

Su Jue helped him straighten his clothes, and said with a faint smile, "Go."

In the side hall.Wei Ran frowned and paced back and forth in the hall, his expression seemed to be overwhelmed with anger, and he had nowhere to vent, he was holding back in his heart.

"Uncle has been waiting for a long time, but Yun Qi came late." Chu Yun Qi Lang smiled and stepped into the side hall.

Wei Ran quickly came up to meet him, and said in a loud voice: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

Chu Yunqi held Wei Ran's hand, sat on the couch with him, and said, "Uncle, don't be angry, let's talk about it in detail, what made uncle so angry?"

Wei Ran let out a long breath, calmed down, and spoke slowly.

Just now, Wei Ran and several lieutenants went to Guanzeju, a century-old restaurant in Yancheng, for a drink.

It is common for officials in the city to drink and entertain in hotels. Wei Ran is already a regular customer of this store. The owner greeted Wei Ran and the others with a smile and arranged them in a private room.

The dancing girl added to the fun, and the Chu wine was fragrant and sweet. Wei Ran felt fluttering as if he was in the blissful place in the world. A servant in the shop stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, do you want an antique from the time when Shang became king?"

"An antique from the time when Shang became king? What is it?" Wei Ran didn't take it seriously, and asked casually.

"Xiangguo Yiyin."

After hearing this, Wei Ran was taken aback for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "You young man, how many years has Yi Yin been dead, could it be that he crawled out of that grave by himself?"

"Zhu Guo Mingcha." The servant smiled and continued: "The villain is saying that there is one person whose talent is comparable to Xiang Guo Yi Yin."

"It's those lobbyists again. They are the ones that annoy me the most in my life. The land we have worked so hard for is touched by them like this, and they give it to another country. Go away." Wei Ran listened. Impatiently waved.

"Zhu State's words are wrong. The generals take the land and consume the national power, and the people of Chu State die. It is said that one general will be successful. Now, you can get thousands of miles without spending a single soldier. Isn't this a worthwhile deal?" ?”

I saw a young man in common clothes walking in. The man looked arrogant, leisurely and suave, with a different kind of vigor in his suave manner. The man smiled and continued: "Take your country Chu Xiangzhao Wenjun as an example, the new king Ascending the throne, the nations are staring at each other, the new law is beginning to bear fruit, the undercurrents are surging in the country, Zhao Wenjun is not a general who has experienced many battles, but he supports the new king, gets rid of the old nobles inside, and plays tricks on the kings of the Central Plains outside. The country's national power has been raised to a higher level, isn't Zhaowen Jun Yu the country's great sage? The general still wants to say that he will cede the land you have worked so hard to cede to other countries?"

After Wei Ran said this, most of the drunkenness disappeared immediately. He knew exactly how much Chu State’s national strength was now. Although he didn’t quite understand what the man said about playing with the kings of the Central Plains, the benefits of Lord Zhaowen to Chu State He saw it in his eyes, and immediately looked at the man and said, "Who are you?"

"My next Cai is Zhang Yi." The man cupped his hands and said.

"Cai man?" Wei Ran sneered and said, "Your country has been destroyed, what kind of national theory are you still talking about here?"

"Zhang Yi is not talented, if he ever meets Ming Jun, he will definitely take it and avenge it." Zhang Yi said seriously.

"You'd better go, I, Da Chu, don't need such a person." Wei Ran waved his hand.

Zhang Yi smiled, and said: "Zhu country is in danger, but I don't know it, alas - sad husband!" She shook her head, turned around and was about to leave.

"You come back." Wei Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "Tell me, why am I in danger?"

"The general swallowed the army's salary privately, and he should be executed according to the Chu law, but the general is still drinking and having fun here without knowing it." Zhang Yi said.

"Fuck you bastard! When did this old man embezzle the military salary?" Wei Ran scolded.

"Zhu Guo doesn't need to get angry with this subordinate. If you feel that you are spitting blood, you may as well go to the palace and ask the king." Zhang Yi smiled and cupped her hands.

"Just go, I want to see what you said about embezzlement of military pay!" Wei Ran got up, shook his sleeves, and strode towards the palace.

"General, go slowly." Zhang Yi still smiled leisurely, and he bowed to Wei Ran's back.

Wei Ran finished speaking angrily, then slapped the desk and said: "What nonsense rumors! As a general, the old man can't enjoy the glory, wealth and honor, and even used it to steal the military salary to live! Fart!"

Chu Yunqi patted Wei Ran on the back, and comforted him: "Uncle Mo Qi, this is just Zhang Yi's provocative method, where did the rumors come from?"

"What?" Wei Ran asked Chu Yunqi in surprise.

"Military salaries and materials and the allocation of military camps have always been secret. Zhang Yi is only a commoner, so how could he know the details of military salaries? He knows that uncle, you have such a bad temper, and you can't tolerate the slightest bit of slander, so you deliberately provoke you like this. So For one thing, Zhang Yi's entry into Chu saves money." Chu Yunqi said with a smile.

"This..." After saying this, Wei Ran realized that he had been fooled by that kid, and he was dumbfounded.

"Zhang Yi." Chu Yunqi chewed on the name for a long time, and said with a chuckle: "I want to see how comparable you are to Yi Yin, uncle, and I invite you to bring that Zhang Yi here. Interrogate him personally why he slandered me, General Chu!"

"No." When Wei Ran heard that Chu Yunqi was going to relieve him, he suddenly regained his spirits, saluted with fists in his hands, turned and walked out of the palace.

After about a meal, Wei Ran's firm footsteps came from outside the hall, pounding in, Wei Ran cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yi will bring you here."

"Cai man Zhang Yi pays homage to the King of Chu." Zhang Yi saluted.

"Mister's talent is comparable to Yi Yin's?" Chu Yunqi smiled and raised his hand.

"In today's troubled times, the three kingdoms of Qing, Xi, and Chu stand at the same time. Xi has the ability to look down on the world, but the monarch and his ministers are complacent about capturing small cities in neighboring countries. This kind of big country is inevitably petty, and Zhang Yi doesn't like it. Qing Guowu has a general Xi First of all, Wen Youshangqing Fengqing, and Qing and Qing joined forces to prop up the huge Qingguo, but the Qingguo is like a hollow pillar that has been hollowed out by moths, it has an empty appearance, but it is in danger. An overthrowing country is like a tall building without a foundation, which will collapse in an instant. Zhang Yi dare not wait for such a country. Forgiveness, Zhang Yi is not talented, so he recommended himself, which offended Zhu Guo, forgive me." Zhang Yi finished speaking in a relaxed manner, and finally turned around and bowed to Wei Ran.

"What a Mao Sui recommended himself, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, do you know my talent and learning, Mr. Zhao Wen?" Chu Yunqi Lang said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of the axe?"

"Zhao Wenjun is a great talent in the world, and Zhang Yi can't compare with him, so he compares himself with Yi Yin, the business minister. I have heard the name of Zhao Wenjun. If he can use his tongue under the eyes of Zhao Wenjun today, Zhang Yi will not be in vain. Chu Yiwen." Zhang Yi paused and smiled.

Chu Yunqi smiled, but did not answer. He carefully rolled up the unfolded bamboo slips, tied them with a thin rope, got up and stretched his muscles, and then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Go back first, The widow is a little tired."

"Your Majesty thinks that if the reform of Chu is complete, the national power will flourish?" Zhang Yi blushed immediately after being left out in the cold. He had come here with enthusiasm and knowledge, and he thought that the King of Chu would worship him after his words. Weiqing, I didn't expect to be shut down now.

Chu Yunqi snorted coldly, and he took a few steps closer to Zhang Yi, staring closely at his eyes, Chu Yunqi squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "Does Zhang Zi know that I have 10,000+ households in Chuyan City? How many cultivators are there? How many gardeners are there? How is the agricultural production improving? How many people have food for a people?"

Chu Yunqi's voice was not loud, but after asking these few questions, Zhang Yi's unruly and confident mood had been reduced by half, and faint sweat began to appear on his forehead. He had never considered these questions at all, and he didn't know why the young King of Chu Will ask these irrelevant questions?

Chu Yunqi had a panoramic view of his expression, and he continued: "Does Zhang Zi know how many deployments my Chu smelting iron mining is divided into? How much salt does my Chu cook every year? What farm tools do the cultivators need? How many silk fabrics are produced each year?" What kinds?"

Zhang Yi seemed to have been poured cold water on his head. His ambition to enter Chu at that time had disappeared without a trace. He lowered his head, blushed in embarrassment, and said nothing.

Chu Yunqi sighed almost inaudibly, his eyes passed Zhang Yi, and fell outside the window, and a low and magnetic voice came: "Before Mr. Zhao Wen visited every place in Chu State, the light He wrote a whole basket of bamboo slips in "Chudi People's Research", which described in detail the folk customs and the approximate population of each place. He personally went to the fields to cultivate with the people, looking for fine farming methods, and he wrote books on Chu's agriculture, handicrafts, water conservancy, etc. After finishing these, he began to carry out reforms in Chu."

Zhang Yi listened quietly, Chu Yunqi turned his head to look at him, and said earnestly: "Zhang Zi, the Prime Minister of a country doesn't just sit in the Prime Minister's mansion all day, waiting for the ministers to present the memorial, and then only responsible for annotating it with cinnabar. It means that Xiangguo has read it. Xiangguo is also called Xiangbang. What is Xiangbang? The king of Zuoguo means governing the country. The duties of Xiangguo are not limited to planning for the king. Strategies are more useful. The reason Zhao Wenjun became the number one prime minister of 'there is no one before and no one to come' is that he observes the people's sentiments, knows the people's opinions, and understands the hearts of the people."

After these words, Zhang Yi had already lost the self-satisfied attitude he had when he first came to Chu, he solemnly bowed his hands to Chu Yunqi and said, "Your Majesty will be the emperor of all ages, and Zhang Yi has been taught!"

Chu Yunqi supported his arm and smiled and said: "Sir, there is no need to do such a big gift. I respect you as a guest. It's just that you don't have the qualifications to enter Chu. I want to see what you bring as a meeting gift."

"Zhang Yi will live up to the king's order!" Zhang Yi said loudly, with tears in her eyes, kneeling down and bowing to Chu Yunqi.

"Sir, please get up." Chu Yunqi hurriedly supported him.

Since then, Zhang Yi, a famous prime minister, came out.
