Chapter 175 Chu Hong(1/3)
Qu Yuan discussed etiquette, the virtues of speech, the etiquette of speaking, and eloquent conversation.
Under the influence of Xuan Dao, Qu Yuan's etiquette rose to a higher level, and his far-sighted gaze was unmatched by the distinguished guests from other countries who were discussing with him at this time.
The scholar-bureaucrats who were still laughing at Chu State for taking advantage of Feng Yun all stared at him.
Looking at the aura of etiquette rising around him, he couldn't help but talk about it - this man's explanation of etiquette is no longer inferior to others, and he has already broken through the innate potential.
Noon and sun turn around, evening has arrived.
Qu Yuan was still standing on the stage, looking at Feng Yun with a bright look on his face.
"Boom" Feng Yun knocked, and Qu Yuan was defeated again.
At the same time, dusk falls and the ceremony ends.
"Qu Yuan...the son of the Qu family of Chu is very polite."
Marquis Zeng sighed.
Then I thought about the tens of thousands of catties of copper sent by Chu State, and that Feng Yun represented the countries south of the Yangtze River...
"In this discussion of etiquette, Chu is the leader. You can comment on the rest of the wonderful remarks."
Marquis Zeng gave him the music score, and Qu Yuan accepted it with courtesy. Then he straightened his back and walked slowly back to the table.
"Qu Yuan of Chu was a man who sacrificed his life for the sake of others." Zhuang Zhou said in a low voice beside Feng Yun.
Feng Yun handed out the drum in his hand and returned it to the chamberlain.
"Everyone..."
During the next banquet, it was all about etiquette.
However, when talking about etiquette, it is about drinking and eating, having conversations, and gathering around to talk.
For a time, the entire banquet was divided into many circles, and the Chu Kingdom was isolated.
Shen Yinhua seemed accustomed to such scenes.
Qu Yuan clenched his wrists.
As for the Marquis of Zeng, he was already highly praised by the scholar-bureaucrats of many big countries, so he had no time to take care of them.
"Since you don't want to follow the trend, don't worry about it. Let's go after eating."
Feng Yun coordinated the final arrangements, and neither Shen Yinhua nor Qu Yuan refuted. At this time, neither of them had the intention to cling to Zeng Guo.
…
After the banquet, Feng Yun and Zhuang Zhou took a carriage and returned to Yi Chuan.
"Fengzi, Chu is obviously the country that won this ceremony, so why can't it change other countries' views on Chu and why they don't want to make friends with Chu?"
Zhuang Zhou asked.
In fact, when it comes to the way the state of Chu is viewed, most of the states in the Zhou Dynasty... call it Chu in person, Jingchu in ordinary times, and derogatory terms like barbarians.
Zhuang Zhou was also able to explore the situation of Chu State, so he asked this question.
Feng Yun thought about it and answered: "The flames follow the trend, the flames are like fire, and the momentum is like wind and waves. It can be compared with the victory of Chu State at this time. For those big countries, it is not as good as the words of Marquis Zeng, and for those small countries, it is also
Nothing beats a nod from a big country."
"How can a small country dare to approach Chu because the big country doesn't agree? How can a big country come close to Chu without Zeng Guo's words?"
"What's more, Chu State is south of the Yangtze River."
Zhuang Zhou suddenly realized.
He also heard Feng Yun say: "The great rivers and swamps seem to be deep and wide, containing hundreds of rivers but with far-reaching sources. However, the tides ebb and flow, and those who are stranded are often the creatures who follow the waves and cannot tell the direction."
"Dong dong dong..."
"Fengzi, Yi Chuan has arrived."
The carriage stopped, and outside the carriage door, Zhaoyang interrupted Feng Yun's conversation with Zhuang Zhou.
Feng Yun nodded.
"Let's go."
After getting off the car, Feng Yun looked at Zhaoyang and asked doubtfully: "Sima is also the guest of honor, why didn't I see Sima just now?"
Zhaoyang's expression paused slightly and he didn't answer with a cold face.
Seeing this, Feng Yun called Zhuang Zhou and entered the post to pass on the news.
At this time, the roads were brightly lit, all prepared for them, the scholar-bureaucrats, to drive back to Yichuan, and they did not want to delay here.
Driving slowly all the way, it can be seen that Qu Yuan and Shen Yinhua are both tired today and have said goodbye one after another.
Mi Yue and Mi Shu were silent during the banquet, only feeling depressed, and her attendance did not recover at this time.
Mi Yue seemed to have something to say, but Mi Shu pulled him away.
"Xiang Yan, go and arrange a place for this Mr. Song from elementary school. Fengzi and I have something to say." Zhaoyang spoke up, but Xiang Yan did not dare to disobey.
Enter the room.
Zhaoyang avoided the surroundings.
The two of them knelt and sat beside the low table.
"Fengzi, Chu State came to report that E State's Baoxiang died at the hands of Yang Yue. This matter was reported back to Zhoudu and Bao State..."
"Sister Bao Si was married to the King of Zhou for only half a month. The King of Zhou was very happy with Bao Si. At this time, he asked the country of E and the surrounding countries to jointly drive Guangdong..."
"One day ago, the State of Hubei, under the pressure of the King of Zhou, fought against Yang and Yue, and the two kings came out together..."
"We, the Chu State, heard the news and marched forward to the frontier. With General Dou Lian as our commander, we made a surprise attack on the Royal City of Yangyue. We have captured the guards of the Royal City and many small barbarian countries behind it have also been devoured..."
Zhaoyang told the current situation of Chu State one by one without missing a word.
Of course, this is the situation on the surface. Even if Zhaoyang doesn't say it, the news will soon be known to people in various countries.
This move by Chu State was an act of righteousness to respect the Zhou royal family!
"I wonder how the Zhou royal family can reward Chu?" Feng Yun took a deep breath.
He also expected that Chu would find an opportunity to make a surprise attack, but he didn't expect that the Zhou royal family would order this.
Concubine……
The fate remains the same, and everything is heading towards the war-torn era.
Zhaoyang's words stopped for a moment, then he stood up and saluted: "Fengzi, this time you and Qu Yuan are planning to seize the great ceremony and music for Chu in Zeng State, and also win the war with surprise attack."
"I will ask Fengzi for instructions so that Fengzi can be free."
Free body?
Feng Yun no longer has the seal of Yu Qiang, so why should Chu come to regain his freedom?
It just has a beginning and an end. I want to remember "The Kingdoms of Chu", so I still stay in Chu.
"Fengzi needs to agree to a condition."
condition.
Feng Yun was curious: "Let's talk about it?"
Zhaoyang did not dare to look at Feng Yun, but followed the order of Lord Chu and replied coldly: "Fengzi swears not to tell the story of Bao Xiang's death."
"Haha..." Feng Yun was happy.
"Otherwise, could it be that Mr. Chu wants to kill me?"
"I don't dare." Zhaoyang bowed.
"Whether Fengzi agrees or not, Zhaoyang will continue to guard Fengzi until the Chu Kingdom captures Yangyue."
"When the time comes, Yu Bi will personally bow down as a horse and carry Fengzi away from the Chu Kingdom."
After Zhaoyang finished speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and retreated, opened the door, and stood guard outside.
"This Zhaoyang..."
Feng Yun looked at Zhaoyang, who was embarrassed but did not dare to disobey the Chu State, and thought of Qu Yuan.
His eyes were calm.
This Chu Lord's threat was much more immature than the previous one, and Feng Yun was not in much trouble.
If you are claiming to be virtuous, but you cannot guarantee your sincerity, you should be wary of people who are falsely benevolent and righteous.
Expose evil, and if you cannot restrain your behavior, be wary of replicating despicable people.
The death of Baoxiang...perhaps we have to wait until the belated justice comes to warn future generations that those who do this will suffer consequences. This is the cruelty of annexation between countries, and it is also a necessary process for reunification.
"Dong..."
The sound of the harp music... turns from sadness to peace...
The next day.
To be continued...
