Chapter 533 It’s all my money! Let's kill them all when we have nothing to do!
Seeing Xiong Qi riding forward alone, Cui Rui tightly grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and subconsciously followed Xiong Qi forward.
Nearly half a year has passed since the King of Chu was captured and returned to Qin!
And during this one hundred and sixty-nine days, Chu State still had no king!
Is it because no one wants to be the King of Chu?
No kidding!
Even though the King of Chu is subject to restrictions and has less power, the iteration speed this year is like fast moving consumer goods.
But the king is the king after all!
I don’t know how many people are staring at that position with green eyes, wanting to climb to the highest position even at the cost of death!
Based on Xiang Rong's death and his ability to lead the army back to Kuaiji County safely, Xiang Yan used his interests to lobby the major clans and suppressed all the royal family members who were eager to try.
If such a person comes with thousands of troops, aren't you afraid that he will rise up and kill people?
Under Cui Rui’s nervous gaze, Xiang Yan stepped towards Xiong Qi.
Finally, the reins of the war horse under Xiong Qi’s crotch were held!
Looking up to Xiong Qi, Xiang Yan said respectfully: "This time the king returns to Chu, I sincerely ask you to lead the king's horse!"
Leading the horse and kicking the horse are all done by a loyal servant. .
Xiang Yan once again demonstrated his attitude through his actual actions.
Xiong Qi suppressed the corner of his mouth and warned in a gentle voice: "I have not yet ascended to the throne, how can I call you the king?"
"Shangzhu Kingdom's move is an overstep!"
Xiang Yan bowed slightly and said in a firm voice: "Your Majesty is destined to be king by destiny, and it is what the people of Chu hope for!"
"The throne is supreme, and only your Majesty can get it!"
"So I think that I am not overstepping my bounds, but just forgetting some red tape."
Xiong Qi tried his best to lower the corners of his mouth, which made them twitch, but he still showed a smile: "Although It’s red tape, but it’s also the place of etiquette.”
“It can’t be avoided!”
“Thinking of the fact that Shangzhu is in the army, I will not offend Shangzhu.”
“Just, don’t do it again!”
Does Xiong Qi really not want Xiang Yan to do it again?
If he really didn’t want Xiang Yan to do it again, how could he call himself a widower!
Xiang Yan also understood what Xiong Qi was thinking, so he bowed his hands and said, "I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty!"
"Helv Palace has made all preparations for the enthronement ceremony."
< br>“As long as the king gives an order, the ceremony of ascending to the throne can be performed at any time.”
"From now on, everyone in the world can follow the etiquette and call the king!"
Xiong Qi pressed once, then again, and three times.
But I can no longer suppress the upturned corners of my mouth!
Xiong Qi laughed happily with satisfaction: "Good!"
"Very good!"
"The Shangzhu Kingdom is really the pillar of the country and the heart of the people!"
"The Shangzhu Kingdom should not do this thing of leading the horse, and quickly mount the horse and go back to Chu with the few people!"
Sensible!
You are sensible!
So sensible!
Unlike Cui Rui who followed the widow.
I have clearly left the Qin territory, but I still treat Ying Zheng like a king and myself like a young master!
What a shame!
Xiang Yan bowed his hands and saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Let go of the reins of Xiong Qi's horse, turned over on his own horse, and said in a deep voice: "This place is far away from Hehe. Lucheng is far away, and if you travel by horse and cart, it will inevitably be bumpy.”
"The high-rise boat crossing the river has docked at the shore."
"Your Majesty, please move to our warship first!"
Xiong Qi nodded happily: "Shangzhu State is interested."
The thousand knights who followed Xiang Yan slowly retreated and stood in the road.
When Xiong Qi rode his horse forward, the knights on the left and right suddenly shouted:
"Greetings to your Majesty!"
Xiong Qi's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and he returned the salute: "I'd like to thank you, soldiers, for coming from afar."
When Xiong Qi passed by two knights again, those two The knight also raised his hand and shouted:
"Meet the king!"
Xiong Qi did not answer again, just smiled and nodded, and cast an encouraging look.
Xiang Yan has given the emotional value to the extreme.
Xiong Qiye smiled like a chrysanthemum and enjoyed this road to becoming a king!
After five hundred psychological hints of ‘meeting the king’, and crossing the welcoming road composed of a thousand knights, the former prime minister of Qin was left on the border of Qin and Chu.
In his place is the king of Da Chu!
My heart calmed down, and a detached mentality emerged spontaneously.
The smile on Xiong Qi's face slowly dissipated, replaced by a calm question: "What is the current situation in the country?"
Seeing Xiong Qi calm down his emotions so quickly, Xiang Yanyan always secretly observed Xiong Qi. With a smile.
The reason why he suppressed the eager sons and grandsons in the country and cooperated with Xiong Qi to seize the throne of Chu King was not because Xiong Qi gave Xiang Yan any benefits, nor was it because Xiong Qi gave Xiang Yan any promises .
The main reason is that Xiong Qi has been the Prime Minister of Qin for many years. He is a man who has been in high positions for a long time and has rich work experience. He can be used immediately without spending time training.
And Xiong Qi is very familiar with the Qin State and has a special attack effect in the war against Qin.
Xiong Yan can understand Xiong Qicai's ecstasy, it's only human nature!
Xiong Qi calmed down his emotions so quickly, which made Xiang Yan quite satisfied with his choice.
Facing Xiong Qi's question, Xiang Yan did not hide it, but said frankly: "It's as dangerous as an egg!"
"Last year, Qin attacked my country, Chu, and we were defeated. Da Chu lost half of its territory, and that half of the territory was the sacred land of Da Chu!"
"Not only that, Qin Chang'an Lord and Qin General Yang Duanhe also sent troops and horses out in all directions, and many soldiers and horses were sent out. The head of Guizhou was plundered and returned to Qin. Even if Qin Changan went north to attack Zhao, the Qin army retreated, leaving only a hundred miles of uninhabited land. "
"When Lord Chang'an of Qin attacked Zhao, I raised troops to fight again, but I only used the navy to recapture a few cities south of the Yangtze River. Although I further consolidated the Yangtze River defense line, it did not benefit the country." "Today. Our population in Da Chuding is only 35% of what it was a year ago, and our grain output is only 30% of what it was a year ago."
"Fortunately, we still have 70% of the copper and iron deposits. In Da Chu’s hands, I, Da Chu, can still exchange the minerals for money and food.”
Listening to Xiang Yan’s words, Xiong Qi frowned slightly: “It’s so difficult!”
A few months ago, when Xiong Qi listened to Ying Chengyu's military report as Qin Prime Minister, he was surprised and delighted.
However, Xiong Qi had some headaches when dealing with the territory conquered by Ying Chengyu.
Because the new territories were too large, Xiong Qi even regarded many of them as useless, feeling that they were tasteless and a pity to abandon.
However, now, when Xiong Qi heard the results of this battle as the King of Chu, he felt his heart was in pain and it was difficult to breathe.
The territory of the few! Subjects! Money and food!
That’s all my money!
They are all for the poor!
But Ying Chengyu pulled them all back to the territory of Qin!
Xiang Yan sighed softly: "That's not all."
"After this battle, all the princes and grandsons have changed, especially Yang Wenjun and Min'an Jun!"
“Although the three clans of Chen Bing, Qu, Jing, and Zhao all support the king, there are also many smaller clans cheering for these sons and grandsons.”
Yang Wenjun is not famous in history.
But as the son of King Huai of Chu and the younger brother of King Qingxiang of Chu, Yang Wenjun had great influence in Chu State, and he was always eyeing the throne of King Chu.
When King Chu Qingxiang was seriously ill, Yang Wenjun tried his best to help his son Min'an Jun ascend to the throne of Chu King.
If King Chu Kaolie hadn't escaped quickly and if Lord Chun Shen hadn't been tough, then the person sitting on the throne of King Chu would probably be Lord Min'an!
Xiong Qi's eyes showed a bit of coldness: "My father is benevolent and never punished Yang Wenjun severely."
"My brother is kind enough to spare this old thief's life!"
"Now that Chu is in turmoil, he actually plans to rebel?!"
Xiang Yan has no comment on this, and is unwilling to comment on Chu. The king's family turned to those scandalous things and asked: "May I ask your Majesty, has there been any change in Qin recently?" , and the ministers agreed. "
"Qin State is not rich in food and grass, and it will take at least five years of hard work to accumulate food for the war."
"Within five years, I, the Chu State, will not have to worry about Qin's army approaching the border, but small-scale border provocations will not stop."
"Five years later..."
Xiong Qi's words were not finished yet. .
But Xiang Yan understood that in five years, what awaits the Chu State will be a strong Qin with abundant food and soldiers!
Xiang Yan said coldly: "Qin is strong but greedy and has difficulty controlling the local area. Chaos will inevitably occur in the long run."
"Our great Chu seems to be suffering from internal and external troubles at the moment, but the great king Shenwu will definitely be able to stabilize the world!"
"When my great Chu's troops and horses are strong, I will have nothing else to ask for." Xiang Yan looked at him sincerely. Xiong Qi: "In the battle to conquer Qin, the general will ask himself to take command and kill Lord Chang'an of Qin with his own hands!"
As the head of the Xiang clan, Xiang Yan needs to be responsible for the interests of the Xiang clan.
As a father, Xiang Yan must avenge the murder of his son!
Xiong Qi looked at Xiang Yan gently but firmly: "Shangzhu is our great general of Chu!"
"Even if Shangzhu country doesn't invite you, I will definitely appoint Shangzhu country as a general in the future!"
"I promise to love you."
"I will give Shangzhu country a strong army and help." Shangzhu State kills the enemy!"
Xiang Yan suddenly handed over his hands: "If you don't disappoint me, then I will disappoint you."
"I will die for the king!"
Xiong Qi smiled happily: "I can get help from Zhuguo, so I don't have any worries!"
"With the current strength of Chu State, if you want to defeat the Qin army and kill Qin Chang'an Lord, especially Difficult!"
"Does Shangzhu have any good advice?"
Xiang Yan said without hesitation: "I think that after the king ascends the throne, he can order an attack on Qi!"
Xiong Qi thought thoughtfully: "Fight Qi?"
"First, seize the territory of Dingkou, and regain the lost land and old people."
"Second, show the power of the few, and win the praise of the internal and external scenery."
"Three, clamor for a righteous battle, avenge the king's brother Hateful? "
"The Qin State is unwilling to fight, and even if it wants to help Qi, it is unable to raise an army. This is a good opportunity to defeat Qi."
"This advice from Shangzhu is a great success!"
Although King Chu of Chu was captured by the Qin army, Qi also sent more troops to support him.
Xiong Qi couldn’t defeat Qin, so how could he defeat Qi?
Xiang Yan smiled and nodded: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!"
We marched and discussed all the way.
Xiong Qi and Xiang Yan get along with each other and become more and more speculative.
Until the rushing Yangtze River appeared in front of the two of them and the group boarded the Chu warship, Xiang Yan was still quite unfinished.
But the river flowing beneath his feet made Xiong Qi feel in a trance.
Interrupting Xiang Yan's advice, Xiong Qi asked in a complicated voice: "Is there a fishing rod on the boat?"
Xiang Yan was slightly startled.
What the hell?
This is a warship! Not a boat! Not even a fishing boat!
You want a fishing rod on the warship?
But in the face of Xiong Qi's request, Xiang Yan could not refuse, and could only bow his hand and say: "I will go find it now."
Xiong Qi's eyes were still looking at the river, and his voice could not be refused: "Looking for a stronger fishing rod."
"A few people want to catch a big fish!"
