Great Zhou Tianzi

261 The Empress of Chu Kingdom Has an Invitation

With the sponsorship of a rich man like Ji Jie, Ji Lin's enthronement ceremony naturally has a luxurious lineup.

I saw Ji Lin wearing a dragon robe sitting on the throne, and the officials below shouted "Long Live", and then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

Not to mention, a girl wearing a dragon robe is really charming. Ji Jie couldn't help thinking that in modern society, sister Bingbing often wore such clothes to show her face abroad!

In order to solve the big problem of Yan State not collecting taxes for three years, Qin Qing personally took charge of restoring the commercial activities in Yan State. With her help, I believe this place will soon become prosperous.

After settling these matters, Ji Jie originally wanted to bring some soldiers to help Rou Yue who was far away in the desert, but at this moment, the envoy of Chu State arrived.

"A messenger from Chu State?" Ji Jie said to Sima Xueran who came to report the letter in person: "I don't seem to have any friendship with people from Chu State. Why do they want me?"

Sima Xueran said: "Based on the information from various sources, the person who sent the envoy should be the Empress Yan of the Chu State. I guess it's because of your ability to handle state affairs! Don't forget, you concocted the envoy in a month's time. It was you who killed King Qin and King Yan, as well as the former King Han!"

Ji Jie shrugged his shoulders, thinking that this is indeed the case. Thanks to my brother's efforts, the kings of the three countries have all changed from old to new. Wow, haha, my brother's ability is really powerful!

Empress Yan, that is, Li Yan, the Queen Mother of Chu, and the younger sister of Li Yuan of Xiangguo, this girl is as beautiful as a flower. She married the King of Chu a year ago and was very pleased with the King of Chu. At that time, the original queen was abolished and she was made a new queen.

Li Yan's luck is not so good. Less than a year after marrying the king of Chu, he gave birth to a little prince, who was directly named the prince. Burp.

As a result, the child under the full moon became the king of Chu, the queen became the queen mother, and the uncle Li Yuan assisted the government.

"This is too ridiculous!" After hearing Sima Xueran's narration, Ji Jie pouted and said, "Why is this happening all over the street? The old man died, and the son who didn't know what to do took over. My old lady Take control of the government, and your mother's family will follow!"

"No way, who will let the eight kingdoms of China coexist!" Sima Xueran said to the point: "Except for the Great Zhou, there will be seven kings in the seven countries, and the probability of such a thing happening will follow. Not surprisingly!"

Ji Jie nodded, spread his hands immediately, and said, "Why did Empress Yan ask me for help? The power of Chu State is already in the hands of her and Li Yuan!"

"That's not the case!" Sima Xueran said, "The military power of Chu State is in the hands of Chunshen Lord Huang Xie. Li Yuan only controls [-] soldiers guarding the capital, which is less than one-tenth of Huang Xie's force. Xie wants to establish himself as king, Yanhou and Li Yuan have nothing to do!"

"She wants me to help her deal with Chun Shenjun Huang Xie?" Ji Jie frowned, Huang Xie is not an ordinary person.

"If my guess is right, it should be like this!" Sima Xueran went on to say, "Huang Xie has three thousand followers, ranking first among the four princes, and there is no shortage of real talents and scholars under his disciples, top-notch counselors and capable recruiters." There are more than 300 skilled fighters, and it is with the assistance of these people that he can gradually control the military power of Chu State. The old Chu king was afraid of him when he was alive, let alone Yan Hou and Li Yuan!"

In the beginning, Li Yuan was just a small official of Chu State, and he also received the love from his ancestors. In order to curry favor with Chun Shenjun, he planned to dedicate his beautiful sister Li Yan to Huang Xie, but Huang Xie dismissed it.

It's not that Huang Xie doesn't like beautiful women, it's because he feels that there are so many talented people under him, and he looks down on Li Yuan who only knows how to exploit, so he refuses.

Li Yuan held a grudge in his heart, and if his plan failed, wouldn't it be more straightforward for him to make another plan and send his sister to the king of Chu!

Sure enough, the old king of Chu was fascinated by Li Yan. In the second month after Li Yan was named queen, Li Yuan also completed his triple jump in the officialdom. Xiangguo, the speed of promotion is faster than a rocket!

Huang Xie looked down on Li Yuan even more, thinking that he was a guy who used nepotism to climb up, and he was against the production everywhere, so Li Yuan ran into obstacles everywhere in the first few months of taking office. Was kicked out.

"Brother Jie, if you don't want to go, I'll go and refuse Chu's envoy right now!" Sima Xueran said, "Anyway, you have no friendship with Yanhou and Li Yuan, so it's only natural if you don't help them!"

"Don't!" Ji Jie stopped Sima Xueran, who was about to leave here, and said with a smile: "I really want to meet this Empress Yan, and at the same time enjoy the scenery of Chu State! Hehe, of course, these are not the most important things. For a while, didn’t you say that the development of our intelligence agency in Chu State has been hindered, and you just took this opportunity to recruit more people!”

"That's right!" Sima Xueran patted his chest and said, "To help them solve their problems openly, but to develop their own power secretly, this is a good opportunity to gain access to the upper echelons of Chu State. Brother Jie, I will arrange it right away!"

"Smart!" Ji Jie scratched Sima Xueran's upturned nose, and said, "However, you can't agree to the envoy of Chu State so quickly, it's too easy and worthless!"

In a word, Ji Jie was exhausted from running errands.

The envoys of the state of Chu traveled back and forth between the state of Chu and the Great Zhou, who made him unable to be the master of major events.

In the end, Ji Jie agreed to help. In exchange, Chu State had to buy 30 taels of gold new equipment from Dazhou. The so-called new equipment was basically old-fashioned for the current Zhou army.

In this way, Ji Jie embarked on a journey to Chu State. As for the route, he took South Korea and went straight to Yingdu from the Han-Chu border.

Undoubtedly, this route is safe. When entering South Korea, the King of Han will send troops to protect him along the way. When he arrives in Chu State, Li Yuan will personally lead the escort.

In fact, Ji Jie wasn't worried about safety on the road. The phrase "the one who can kill me hasn't been born yet" was always on his lips, mainly because the girls were worried, and the route was also researched by them.

In order to avoid the "Chen Yao and Mei Duo incident", the girls have been voting that someone must follow Ji Jie in this mission, lest he bring his sisters back.

Ji Jie looked like a bitter melon, but no matter what method he used to "struggle with reason", he couldn't win over the girls.

In the end, the girls unanimously decided that Chen Yao and Sima Xueran would accompany them. In addition to "monitoring" Ji Jie, Chen Yao could help integrate Qin's business company in Chu State, and Sima Xueran could contribute to the establishment of the love agency. to a crucial role.

Ji Jie had no choice but to agree, and he asked the three brothers of the Xiong family to select [-] strong soldiers to protect them along the way, and everyone began to prepare their luggage and set off in three days.
