Chapter 167: Kingdoms Chu (four thousand four)

"Swiss, swish, swish..." The summer rain has arrived, the sky is dark, and there are continuous showers.

"Huh..." The wind passed by the rain and fell into the hall, along with the water pillars on the eaves, making a snapping sound...

The servant hurriedly closed the window.

Before Jingyang handed the portrait to Feng Yun, his appearance was rude, frivolous and unruly.

"According to the order of Sima Zhaoyang, this figure is awarded to the general."

Qu Yuan saw this and stared at him angrily.

"Admiral Jingyang, as a senior official of the Chu State, how can you treat Lord Feng with disrespect and lose his etiquette?"

"Haha..." Jingyang sneered.

"I am a senior official of the Chu State, and you, Qu Yuan, are a sergeant of the Chu State. If you contradict me at this time, why is it not rude?"

After saying that, Jingyang looked coldly and indifferently, as if Feng Yun didn't care about him, and walked away in the rain with a hum.

Qu Yuan was left feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Don't be upset, Mr. Feng. There are many people in Chu who value etiquette, but Jingyang is just one of them."

Feng Yun shook his head slightly.

"If I don't worry about other people's evil, I won't have any worries. The person who worries me is gone now, so I don't need to worry anymore."

"Senior Qu Yuan, please take a seat." After saying this, Feng Yun stretched out his hand and saluted, inviting Qu Yuan to sit across from him.

Qu Yuan was not restrained, he was young and energetic, and he was not a bitter person. As Feng Yun said, when those who dislike him leave, there is no need to talk about what he dislikes.

"Come here, bring some warm wine and melon and fruit snacks!" Qu Yuan waved his hand and ordered the servant on the side, who heard the words and hurriedly went to take care of it.

"Fengjun, this time I came to look for Fengjun, and I met Jingyang by chance..." Looking at the rolled scroll beside him, Qu Yuan hesitated.

Feng Yun didn't mind, picked it up and opened it slowly.

Above it, a cold air rose.

Qu Yuan stood up, hurriedly went to get it, and opened the scroll with Feng Yun.

"Ah, is it Prime Minister Yu Qiang?" Qu Yuan was stunned.

"How did they agree to give this phase to you?" Qu Yuan was puzzled, but felt that his words were different, so he explained to Feng Yun: "Prime Minister Yu Qiang is one of the murals in the ancestral hall of Chu State, which is the heritage of our Chu State.

, which is also the foundation. Every Chu noble can enter once before reaching the crown to view the murals."

"Those who are spiritual can observe one phase as a sign to help themselves. If they fail, they can enter again when they reach the peak. If they fail again, they can use their merit as a counterweight in the later stage to enter again...

"

Hearing this, Feng Yun couldn't help but think about Zhaoyang's move. It seemed to be beyond the scope of the rules. How could the Chu clan agree?

Qu Yuan looked at Prime Minister Yu Qiang and sighed: "Sima Zhaoyang was favored by the tortoise before he reached the crown. Later, when he reached the crown, the tortoise attached a snake and turned into an image of Xuanwu. After that, he made great achievements in battle and practiced martial arts on his own.

If he breaks through the Xiantian and becomes the Sima, if he has the blessing of Chu State's national destiny, he will not be inferior to those who are profound in the Xiantian realm."

"This is the only one, and only Sima Zhaoyang can ask for a rubbing of the painting from the ancestral hall and give it to Lord Feng."

Feng Yun nodded, there is indeed a Taoist charm flowing through this portrait.

Qu Yuan rolled up the painting and handed it to Feng Yun.

"Fengjun, this portrait is precious, but compared to the intuitive mural, its function is only a supplement."

"There is a method of visualization in the murals of the Chu State. The method of visualization can be learned in ancestral halls, but it cannot be passed on to Lord Feng."

Imagine that the murals are the heritage of the Chu State. If Qu Yuan taught Feng Yun, he would be betraying his ancestors and his own bloodline. This is a crime he would never dare to bear.

Feng Yun also knew it.

But what about the method of visualization?

Does the dream I had last night using the technique of cultivating Tao count?

"Fengjun..." Warm wine has been brought, and snacks and fruits are also placed on the table.

Qu Yuan cooked the wine and said: "Sima Zhaoyang led his troops on patrol and accidentally injured Lord Feng. I asked Sima Yu to apologize to Lord Feng for this matter."

"Inspection... It was also Yun's bad luck at this time. He happened to meet Commander Zhaoyang. He is now injured and needs to be nursed back to health."

Looking at the warm wine that Qu Yuan said, Feng Yun felt that Qu Yuan was sincere. Although he was loyal to the country, he was also loyal to affairs, knew his own desires, and sought to be courteous.

After taking the drink, Feng Yun was now eighteen years old and had left home early. Before being presented to Baiyue Prime Minister, he gave himself a crown. He was considered an adult in Zhou Shi and could naturally drink.

A glass of wine enters the throat and flows down, warming and warming the heart.

"Why don't you see Zhaoyang Sima today?" Feng Yun asked.

Qu Yuan also drank and shook his head in praise, but when he heard Feng Yun's question, he was slightly startled.

He glanced at Feng Yun and said cautiously: "I heard that Sima Zhaoyang was also injured when he accidentally fought with Feng Jun. At this time, Yangyue and Hubei were fighting. In order to avoid Chu's suffering, he went to invite Dou, who had already resigned.

Mr. Lian, I hope Mr. Dou Lian can take up the post again and temporarily take over the post of Sima."

This caution is not because Feng Yun is not a member of the Chu State, but because it is difficult to explain clearly that Feng Yun fought with Zhao Yang and both of them were injured...

Qu Yuan believed that this matter would bring disgrace to the two of them, so he was cautious.

"Mr. Doulian?" Feng Yun didn't know much about the affairs of the Chu State.

Qu Yuan on the side hurriedly explained Mr. Doulian's story.

It turns out that Doulian was the last Sima of Chu and had great military exploits. He fought in all directions for the Chu lord, which made the Chu country so powerful at this time that it faced Yangyue, a small country separated by a small country.

However, due to a recurrence of an old injury, he abdicated and gave way to Zhaoyang, a rising star.

"That's how it is... Dou, I don't know what clan he is in Chu?"

After Feng Yun asked, Qu Yuan looked closely.

"Why?" Feng Yun was puzzled.

But Qu Yuan burst out laughing: "Does Mr. Feng want to go to Hu as an envoy to Chu?"

Otherwise, I wouldn’t ask carefully.

Qu Yuan was delighted. He highly recognized Feng Yun's talents and admired Feng Yun's strategy for governing Baiyue and developing a country. Of course, he also had his own ideas.

Just like the way of ritual and music, which was not yet apparent in Baiyue, he believed that he was competent in this way and regarded it as the inheritance of Chu State.

Feng Yun was speechless.

He smiled deeply and shook his head: "No, Yun Fei wanted to be an official, but he wanted to write "The Kingdoms". If the stories of famous people of Chu and the policies of mountains and rivers could be recorded in it, it would also allow future generations to have a look at the history of Chu.

To encourage yourself."

"This is also the way I view the world, and it is mysterious."

"Xuan?" Qu Yuan's face was slightly red, but he thought wrong, but he was also disappointed.

He thought to himself: What a wonderful thing it would be if Mr. Feng could serve in the Chu Kingdom... Maybe I can sincerely impress him.

While thinking, Qu Yuan explained the preface to Feng Yun.

"Mr. Dou Lian is the current head of the Dou clan. The Dou clan is a second-class noble in the Chu Kingdom. There are eighteen numbers, and the Dou clan is one of them. There are also first-class nobles, three numbers, including Qu, Jing,

Zhao San clan."

"The three first-class clans all have the surname Mi, and they are the outstanding descendants of the royal family who established small clans. The second-class eighteen clans, in addition to the Mi surname, also have foreign surnames."

"I won't say much about the other third-level ones. Lord Feng can also deduce them."

"Beyond all the clans, there is also a large sect, that is, the king of Chu State, Mi's surname is Xiong."

According to the "Book of Rites of Zhou", the eldest son will inherit, the second son will be enfeoffed if he is up to the throne, and if he is poor, he will be able to support himself... This is to maintain the lineage and pass it down without dispersion.

Nowadays, the direct descendants are just the monarch and the monarch's direct relatives. In comparison, the developed small sects have many people.

"The road is blue and blue to open up the mountains and forests. The development of the Xiong family has not come easily. At this time, there are many talents and it is also the expectation of our ancestors." Qu Yuan was respectful and bowed to the sky, which shows his heart.

Feng Yun sighed.

"Those who are capable work harder, and those who work harder should also receive more. This cannot be stopped."

Hearing this, Qu Yuan agreed and smiled.

Feng Yun also smiled, but the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and he was full of deep thoughts.

What is known from Qu Yuan's mouth is only known by Qu Yuan, not by the people, not by the king, and not by Feng Yun.

If you want to see a country, you should see it both inside and outside.

Within it, from the people to the king, and from the king to the people, they understand everything.

Outside of that, look at neighboring countries, read national history, understand the general trend, and think about what will happen in future generations.

Only in this way can the book "Nations" be written...

"Fengjun, please tell me about your mysteries with Yu. I heard that Feng Yun established a mystical gate in Baiyue. I am very curious about this mysteries. I hope you can tell me something about it..."

At this time, any knowledge is part of the Tao, let alone a personal Tao.
