I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 304 Shen Wuyu Admonishes the King of Chu Again

After receiving Li Ran's letter, Shen Wuyu didn't dare to neglect, and immediately rushed back to Qianxi without stopping.

Now that the new capital of Qianxi has been completed, the king of Chu's class teacher will naturally not travel thousands of miles back to Yingdu, but chooses to live directly in Qianxi.

And the first thing Shen Wuyu came to Qianxi was not to meet the King of Chu directly, but to come to Li Ran's official residence first.

The two got straight to the point, and there were no polite greetings.

"What proof do you have for what you said in the letter, sir?"

Shen Wuyu asked directly.

In the letter, Li Ran mentioned the possible influence that Prince Qiji would have on the state of Chu after he became Cai Gong, and also hinted that Prince Qiji might one day completely overthrow the rule of King Xiongwei of Chu.

As for Shen Wuyu, it was a coincidence that he had paid special attention to the prince's abandonment of illness before.Especially when he was building the new capital, he followed the clues all the way, and found out that the one who had been running errands for the prince was the teacher of the eldest son Jian in his family——Fei Wuji.

But he was not sure for a while whether what Li Ran said was true or not.

After all, it is obviously inappropriate to charge others with the trumped-up charge of "possibly causing chaos" just because others arranged for someone to intervene in the construction of the new capital.

"The doctor thinks, with the prudence of the fourth prince, he will leave any evidence for you and me to find out?"

"Now that the fourth prince has taken over the entire territory of the Cai Kingdom, his prestige is growing day by day. If he wants to learn from the King of Chu back then, why not? Besides, this person has such a 'fate to be the wall'!"

"How can such an outstanding person be willing to live under others for a long time?"

Li Ran tried his best to speak clearly, so that Shen Wuyu could understand how serious the consequences of this incident were.

When Shen Wuyu heard it, he was not stupid. How could he not understand the meaning of Li Ran's words?
But he still couldn't figure out one thing, that is, Li Ran had already handed in his resignation earlier and was determined to leave Chu State, why now he was so worried about Chu State's affairs?

Isn't this a contradiction?
"The king of Chu is arrogant, but the people of Chu are innocent, but I really don't want to see the people of Chu suffer from the misfortune of the monarch."

"The doctor is one of the few upright ministers in the state of Chu. You should understand Li Ran's intentions, right?"

After Li Ran finished speaking, Shen Wuyu nodded silently, but remained silent.

I just heard Li Ran continue to say:
"The matter of Chen Cai, Li Ran and the king have already had a rift, so this matter must not come out of my mouth."

"This matter is related to the great plan of the state of Chu, and I hope that the doctor can speak up and persuade the king."

So far, he has no better way.

Apart from Shen Wuyu, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could convince the King of Chu.

Wu Ju?
Although Wu Ju is a sensible person, and he has many problems with Prince Qiji.However, this person is too wise to protect himself, and the prince abandons his illness and is the new Duke Cai, which is not insignificant.

Therefore, just based on Wu Ju's character, Li Ran predicted that he would never want to come to this muddy water.

Moreover, even if Wu Ju really talked about this matter, in the view of King Chu, it is very likely that in the end it will be nothing more than a farce of "Wu Ju ate the prince's vinegar".

At this time, the king of Chu would never listen to Wu Ju's advice on this.

Then besides the Wu family, who else can speak to the king of Chu?

Obviously, only Shen Wuyu can give it a try.

Shen Wuyu saw Li Ran's words were very solemn, and immediately bowed his hands:

"Mr. has the kindness to know you, and the righteousness to help the Chu State. What you said, Wuyu must be remembered!"

……

Qianxi Terrace, a building imitating Zhanghua Terrace.

Although it is not as grand and magnificent as Zhanghua Terrace, as a temporary palace, it is considered extremely extravagant.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Wuyu has been working in Zhongli for a year.This time, he not only received a letter from Li Ran to persuade the King of Chu, but also reported his duties to the King of Chu in person.

Shen Wuyu said in his job report that under his management, Zhongli is not prosperous, but it is still orderly and there has not been any rebellion.As for the remnants of Qingfeng's party, most of them were caught by him and fled.There were only a few that were completely useless, and they all fled to the state of Wu.

The king of Chu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard such achievements.

In fact, what he was most worried about was the Zhongli area.

After all, this land borders the Central Plains in the north and Wu Chu in the south.The tranquility of this area is an important cornerstone for the king of Chu to destroy Wu in the future.

Fortunately, Shen Wuyu's ability is not bad, within a year, Zhongli was able to rule.

"Hehe, I already know that Shen Qing is extraordinary. Now that I see it, it is indeed so!"

"Come, come, Shen Qing has a drink with the widow!"

When something happy happens, it's natural to drink.

After the two cups of wine were down, the two gradually chatted.

Of course, Shen Wuyu naturally talked about Chen and Cai Erdi who had just been defeated recently.

"The majesty of the king, Chen Cai surrendered without a fight, this is the good fortune of our country of Chu!"

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you a long and boundless life. I wish that our Chu Kingdom can soon conquer the Central Plains and drink horses from the Yellow River!"

According to Shen Wuyu's temperament in the past, he would definitely not be able to say such flattering words.

Fortunately, after some "tuning" by Li Ran, Shen Wuyu has changed a lot to a certain extent when to say what to say and how to say it.

And Shen Wuyu's flattery is so rare, it makes the king of Chu feel refreshed physically and mentally. He hurriedly got up, took Shen Wuyu's hand, and said very affectionately:

"Shen Qing said it well!"

"Come, come, I will respect you!"

Afterwards, two more glasses of wine were drunk, and the King of Chu took this opportunity to ask tentatively:

"Shen Qing, the widow is planning to appoint the widow's younger brother Qiji to be the county magistrate in Cai Guo, what do you think?"

Shen Wuyu heard the words and knew that the time was ripe, so he immediately took the opportunity to respond:

"As the saying goes, no one knows better than a father how to choose his son as an heir, and no one knows better than a king when choosing a minister. So what the minister says may not be right."

"But even so, since the king asked so, I still have to say something."

Hearing this, King Chu suddenly became interested, and hurriedly raised his hand to signal him to continue talking.

Just from this sentence, it is not difficult to see that what Shen Wuyu learned from Li Ran is indeed too much.The current Shen Wuyu, even the way he speaks, is somewhat similar to Li Ran.

Shen Wuyu heard the king of Chu ask such a question, but he didn't say it bluntly, but just asked in a low voice:
"I don't know...hehe, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard the story of Zheng Zhuanggong back then?"

Hearing the sound, King Chu couldn't help but frowned again.

Because Zheng Zhuanggong can also be regarded as a fierce man in the historical impression of this era.

In the era when the Chu State had not yet risen, and the Qi State and the Jin State were still insignificant and developing, Zheng Zhuanggong was the first monarch who took the lead in "taking the emperor to order the princes".

In the era when the princes of all countries had to sell the Zhou royal family a little bit of face, Zheng Zhuanggong was the first to use the name of the Zhou royal family to conquer the surrounding areas, and he forced himself to expand the territory of his country from the cracks. .

And Zheng Zhuanggong directly pointed out a "basic game rule" limited to the Spring and Autumn Period for the later generations of Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin-respect the king and fight against barbarians.

It is not difficult to see from this that Zheng Zhuanggong's own ability is extremely good.

But what does his story have to do with the current appointment of Prince Qiji as Duke Cai?
