Chapter 176 Enfeoffment(1/3)
Morning glow and red sun.
Sparkling red water.
The carriage headed south along the way and entered Chu. When it saw the capital of Ying, the first thing it saw was the majestic lacquered red city gate and the endless tall city walls.
"welcome!"
Outside the city gate, armored soldiers lined up, and the Lord of Chu personally came to greet them.
"Welcome Doctor Qu Yuan and Feng Zi to return to Chu."
Zeng's first victory was an unparalleled honor for the Chu state. It was previously known as a barren land of etiquette. Now with Feng Yun and Qu Yuan, they could use the courtesy of the two to strengthen Chu's momentum and reverse the reputation of barbarians.
This is not only a source of pride for Chu people.
It is also an incomparable honor for the powerful and the king of Chu, and it can also have some prestige among the countries.
What's more, coupled with the surprise attack on the capital of Yangyue, which was a great achievement, coupled with the victory of Zeng Guo, the position of viscount of Chu Jun may be able to...
As soon as we entered the city, the shouts of Chu people could be heard everywhere.
"Fengzi, please return to the Palace of Classics first, and then reward Fengzi after Dr. Qu Yuan is promoted to the throne."
A short old man rode out on horseback and led Feng Yun's convoy to the Palace of Classics.
Zhaoyang, who was leading the team, frowned.
"Sima Zhaoyang, this is your Majesty's wish. Fengzi is not a minister of Chu at this time and cannot enter the court."
Zhaoyang looked at Fei Wuji, who had an obedient look on his face but his mouth was full of jokes, and snorted coldly.
"I will send Fengzi back to the Palace of Classics."
Fei Wuji lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, but Sima, your injury has been healed. Recently, your Majesty intends to ask you to defend the city in the capital of Yangyue, replacing Dou Lian with Sima.
To reward Sima Dou Lian, you must prepare early."
Hearing the sound, Zhaoyang couldn't help but touch his waist.
The injury caused by the cold air has long been eliminated.
"I will ask your Majesty later."
Fei Wuji nodded, reined in the horse, and watched Feng Yun's carriage and horses leave...
"Fengzi, if Yu is transferred to the Yangyue Front, if you encounter difficulties, you can ask Xiang Yan to send a message to Yu, and Yu's words of protecting you are not false."
The carriage rolls.
"It is orthodox for Sima to act for the Chu State. Although Yun entered Chu in a state of being captured because of Sima, it was not Sima's fault, so why should he blame himself for this."
Zhao Yang shook his head.
"Fengzi, like Dr. Qu Yuan, I respect your virtues. No matter what, I hope you will be considerate. This is a blessing."
"Boom..." The carriage stopped, and the Palace of Classics had arrived.
Zhaoyang opened the car door and picked up Feng Yun from the car.
"Thank you Sima. Sima can rest assured. I already know most of the national conditions of Chu. It is not difficult to survive in Chu."
In the Palace of Classics, Feng Yun read through the messy "History of Chu", understood the origin and current situation of the Chu State, and envisioned the future of the Chu State. In the Chu State, the people and the powerful also had a clearer understanding.
.
Although the people of Chu have no hope of high places, most of them still remember the ancestors of Chu who worked together with the people to open up the mountains and fields, and they still have hope for the future.
And the powerful people of Chu divided them into two.
One is the nobles with non-Mi surnames, most of whom are like Shen Yinhua, Fei Wuji, and Sun Shuao. Although they are courtiers, they all have different situations due to personal tendencies.
The two are nobles with the surname Mi, and there are as many of them as Zhaoyang, Jingyang, and Qu Yuan. Their three tribes are the most noble Mi tribe in the Chu State except for the monarch Xiong's Mi surname. As long as the children among them have some talent, They will all be arranged to enter the court, and some will be promoted to high positions with ease.
now……
A talented person like Qu Yuan, whose reputation is known among the countries, will surely rise high in the court.
Feng Yun knew it very well.
"Come back, Sima..."
"Fengjun!" Manwa's voice came from the Palace of Classics.
I saw a big man running out of the palace gate, being chased by several people.
"Man baby." Feng Yun looked at Man baby and saw that the worried look on his face dissipated when he saw him and turned into joy. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
"Fengjun, you are back. The barbarians have been waiting for you for a long time. In this place, no one teaches the barbarians to learn Zhou Yan. The barbarians you taught before have all been forgotten..."
The barbarian baby spoke non-stop in Jiuli language, just like a child complaining to his elders.
"Fengzi, Zhaoyang is leaving."
At the door, Zhaoyang saluted and left slowly with the carriage.
Feng Yun took Manwa into the Palace of Classics...
…
"Fengjun, I heard that you have become a 'zi'?"
"What is a child?"
Facing Manwa's question, Feng Yun explained in detail.
The boy smiled naively.
"Feng...Fengzi, do more people respect you now?"
Entering the side hall, Feng Yun sat at the table.
"Whether you respect someone or not is not something that can be determined by a single 'child'."
"So what is the son, what is the king? To outsiders, he is a noble representative, but to himself, it is a constraint. If fame is greater than ability, he will undoubtedly fall into the water, have nowhere to rely on, and will struggle and drown. "
Feng Yun summoned the maid.
"Get some hot coals and tea."
"promise."
The Manba beside him was sitting with a bow.
"Then Fengzi, don't ask for fame..."
Feng Yun smiled.
"Fame is given by others and you can't refuse it."
"Okay, now I have to test how well you study Zhou Yan. When you go to Zeng State, don't forget to do everything."
Manba is nervous...
At night, Manwa left in a trance, and the feeling of having his head filled with knowledge was not pleasant to him.
Not long after Manwa left, he saw Qu Yuan coming in a hurry.
"Fengzi."
After the salute, the gloomy look remaining under Qu Yuan's eyes was truly dazzling.
"But Mr. Chu appointed you to a position you don't like?"
Hearing this, Qu Yuan nodded and said, "It is Yuan's lifelong wish to serve the Chu State. Yuan is just sad about the current situation of the Chu State and it is difficult to change it."
Feng Yun poured tea and handed it to Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan took it respectfully and drank the tea carefully.
Feng Yun asked: "I wonder if Mr. Shen Yinhua has ever been promoted?"
Qu Yuan shook his head and sighed slightly: "Mr. Shen Yinhua... I can't give you more than a hundred gold rewards."
Feng Yun nodded, Shen Yinhua's mission this time indeed did not achieve much, not to mention the words about the carriage, it was a great blessing that Zhaoyang did not speak out and let his reputation be ruined.
"What about the two princesses Mi Shu and Mi Yue?"
Qu Yuan was stunned.
"Each of them was rewarded with a hundred gold, and they were given a test in front of everyone, and they were also given some fun."
Feng Yun nodded.
Then he asked: "What about Yun?"
Qu Yuan pursed his lips, lowered his head, hesitated, and then said helplessly: "Your Majesty ordered me to grant Fengzi a fiefdom of fifty miles, and a house in the capital city of Ying, with ten cattle, thirty sheep, thirty slaves, and twenty maidservants.
Five hundred gold, silk..."
Like a person issuing an order, Qu Yuan spoke out the rewards planned for Feng Yun one by one without missing a word.
But until the end, there was no official position.
Qu Yuan's eyes dimmed.
