Chapter 398 Retribution
It was late at night, and the young master Fuchu and his confidant guest sat in the inner room, closed the doors and windows, lit candles, and began to plot how to kill Li Yuan. The young master Fuchu was an impatient person, so after he decided to kill Li Yuan, he did not hesitate anymore. On the same day, he summoned his confidants to formulate a way to get rid of Li Yuan. Sitting in the room, the servants were racking their brains to find a way.
Li Yuan covered the sky with his hands in Chu State, and it was not easy to get rid of him.
"Li Yuan is the prime minister of Chu. If you want to kill him, you have to announce his crime. In this way, the righteousness of eliminating thieves is in your hands. You can use the righteousness to summon everyone to help, or you can avoid other people robbing the results after killing Li Yuan." The guest said, thinking for a moment, and said, "Li Yuan pleases Qin like a dog treats his owner. You can execute him in the name of eliminating spies in Qin!"
"No!", someone immediately expressed his opposition, and the objector said: "Our enemy is not only Li Yuan, but also the current King of Chu, and the young master... If the young master killed Li Yuan in the name of eliminating spies, and after the nobles helped and killed Li Yuan, the power would still be returned to the King of Chu... It would be better to take action in the name of Li Yuan's name of bewitching the King of Chu, ceding the land, and neglecting government affairs. In this way,... the mediocre and incompetent King of Chu should naturally give way!"
Neither of the two agreed with each other's statement. Before the matter was done, the two started arguing first. The young master Fuchu looked at them angrily, and he said, "I heard that Ma Fuzi said: Working together can accomplish great things. Now that the matter has not yet been done, the two and the three sons are quarreling about this small thing! What can this happen?!" Fuchu spoke, and the guests did not dare to argue anymore, and they all lowered their heads.
Fu Chu said, "Crime? Do you still need to find this crime? Do you still remember what Li Yuan and others said to kill Chunshenjun?"
The guest suddenly realized and asked, "What do you mean is to kill Chunshenjun in the name of revenge?"
Fu Chu was reluctant to punch him, and he said angrily: "Of course not! The nobles in China hate Chunshenjun so much. If I say that I have revenge for Chunshenjun, will they still support me?" He paused and said with a grim smile: "When Li Yuan presented his sister to Huang Xie, Huang Xie gave her to my father after she was pregnant. This is why the evil seed of the King of Chu today, and that You, he is also Huang Xie's evil son!"
"Li Yuan supported his sister's evil son to serve as the King of Chu and controlled the State of Chu. In fact, he, his sister, and the current King of Chu, You, all deserve to be executed!"
The guests suddenly fell silent, and one of them whispered: "But... the young master is not the Queen Mother's biological son..."
"Ha, I said he is him!"
"But you want to attack Li Yuan on this charge... Are you disrespectful to King Kaoli?"
Fu Chu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Li Yuan cruelly killed Chunshenjun. Don't worry, my father knew what I think now, and he would not object..." After formulating the righteousness, the next thing was how to do it. Some disciples proposed to escape from Shouchun, and then gathered nobles to attack Li Yuan. Fu Chu directly rejected his proposal. Fu Chu said: "Li Yuan arranged several of his brothers to serve as generals and command the most elite royal army in Chu..."
"The nobles who had joined forces to attack Li Yuan before, wanted to let the King of Chu rule have grass on their graves. How should we attack them?"
"Yes, Li Yuan controls the army, and we only have a few hundred people. How can we deal with the nearly 100,000 royal army?"
"Li Yuan and his brothers can't always bring a hundred thousand troops with you, right? These stupid guys don't know how to make friends with the heroes of the army... I have found a helper. He has hated Li Yuan for a long time. As long as we can kill Li Yuan's family, he can take the royal army to serve me!" Fu Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "But it is not easy to kill Li Yuan and his gangsters together."
"Young Master, I heard that Li Yuan has a house outside the city. Every once in a while, his brothers would come to the house to pay homage to him, and they would play and have fun together. This is the best time for us to do it." When Fu Chu heard the suggestion of the guest, he stood up and said, "Very good, let's do it in his house..." He looked at one of his most agile guests on weekdays and ordered, "Please go and inquire about the situation there... report to me as soon as possible."
Li Yuan cherishes his life very much. He probably knows that he offended too many people, so many warriors accompany him when he travels. Even in his house, there are many warriors protecting him. The recent assassination incidents made him even more nervous and did not dare to meet outsiders. He was even very vigilant when summoning beauty to serve him, which brought great difficulties to Fu Chu's assassination work.
It seems that tricks such as poisoning, charming, offering maps, and watching goldfish are no longer useful.
Fu Chu could only choose to take people to kill him forcibly. On the one hand, Fu Chu sent people to make friends with the nobles who were dissatisfied with Li Yuan outside the royal city and agreed to kill Li Yuan. At the same time, he prepared a large number of crossbows and secretly tempered the poison... His small actions were not hidden from many people, but because the people who had persuaded Li Yuan to beware of Fu Chu's people being ignored by Li Yuan, no one came to remind Li Yuan again.
Just like Huang Xie, who ignored his advice at the time.
Perhaps if you sit in the upper seat for a long time, you will be contemptuous of others and think you are arrogant.
At the end of the third year of the King of Chu, the cold winter came. Although the cold winter in Chu was not as terrifying as the Central Plains, ordinary people still dared not go out. Great nobles like Li Yuan were not so worried. After all, they had fires to warm themselves at any time and beauties to warm their hearts... Li Yuan met his brothers in his luxurious house. They gathered here frequently, not because their relationship was so friendly, but because Li Yuan wanted to convey his orders to them.
Li Yuan did not care about domestic government affairs, but he was firmly watching the movements of the nobles who wanted to resist him, and asked these confidants to report their situation to him... Li Yuan talked to everyone for a long time, and talked about how to appease the nobles in the country and how to eliminate the ministers of the ruling faction. They talked until late at night, and everyone lived in Li Yuan's huge house and prepared to leave the next day.
When the night was at its deepest, a group of uninvited guests appeared around the house. For some reason, the soldiers of Chu State had better vision at night than in the Central Plains countries... If they were in Zhao State and Wei State, they were afraid that these people would not be able to see anything. Taking advantage of the night, these people kept approaching, and it was Gongzi Fuchu who took the lead. When they arrived at the courtyard wall, they took out the prepared rope...
Li Yuan was awakened by the howls, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed. The beauty serving him was so scared that he cried. Li Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the inner room. In the courtyard, the thieves lit torches and lit everywhere, while the warriors in Li Yuan were fighting with them... Li Yuan was frightened by this scene. Under the protection of several confidant warriors, he fled in panic towards the backyard... As soon as he arrived at the door of the backyard, he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and the warriors around him fell to the ground.
Li Yuan was trembling all over and collapsed on the ground. He raised his head in horror and saw the tall young master Fu Chu carrying a long sword and walking towards him with a grim smile. Li Yuan widened his eyes. In fear, he saw that Fu Chu in front of him gradually turned into Huang Xie's appearance. Li Yuan pointed to the enemy in front of him and said tremblingly: "Huang, Huang Xie!!", "Puchi~", Fu Chu held the long sword and slashed at Li Yuan.
It was not until Li Yuan stopped moving that Fu Chu cut off his head and held it high.
Just like Huang Xie at the time, Li Yuan also died under an ambush and was also beheaded.
The guests shouted that Li Yuan was dead, and Li Yuan's warriors quickly chose to surrender. This was Fu Chu's strategy. In fact, his people were much less than Li Yuan's warriors. However, he expected that Li Yuan could not judge the number of enemies under the night, so he would definitely choose to escape, so he lies in ambush at the back door, waiting for Li Yuan... Sure enough, Li Yuan chose to escape here in fear, and happened to meet the young master Fu Chu who was ambushing here.
Once Li Yuan died, his warriors did not dare to resist anymore.
After killing Li Yuan, Fu Chu killed all the confidants living in Li Yuan's mansion, including men, women, young and old, and even chickens and dogs in the courtyard. He even brought people to kill Li Yuan's female relatives. After venting his anger, the young master Fu Chu hurried to control the army in the royal city. Fu Chu carried Li Yuan's head, which could play a great role in various parts of the Chu State.
When he heard that Ling Yin was killed, the soldiers were just frightened and had no idea of revenge. Fu Chu then accused Li Yuan of the crime and the origin of the King of Chu. The prince Fu Chu was brave and famous. The generals liked him very much. With the support of several generals, Fu Chu successfully instigated many troops. Finally, he found the general Xiang Yan, who was Huang Xie's confidant, so after Li Yuan came to power, he removed him from his position and wanted to kill him several times.
However, Xiang Yan was so famous in the country that all the ministers persuaded Li Yuan, but Li Yuan had no choice but to give up the idea of killing him.
Xiang Yan was very resentful to Li Yuan in his heart. When Fu Chu was holding his head to visit Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan was very happy. He laughed and pointed at Li Yuan's head and cursed: "You evil dog from Qin State deserves such retribution!" Xiang Yan's joining made his son Fu Chu completely recover the army. Xiang Yan's reputation in the Chu State army was very high. Fu Chu asked him to command the army. After mastering the army, he rushed into the palace with great swagger under the crowd of his disciples.
The King of Chu, who had just ascended the throne for three years, was not as fierce as his father blessed. He was very thin, weak and sickly... But both the King of Chu and Huang Xie liked him very much. When Fu Chu walked into the back hall with blood, the King of Chu, who knew nothing about the situation outside the palace, was brought to see Fu Chu by an eunuch. The King of Chu looked at Fu Chu with blood and was shocked. He coughed anxiously and asked, "Brother? What's wrong with you?"
"Are you okay?"
Fu Chu sneered, "Of course I'm fine... I've helped you a lot..." As Fu Chu said, he threw the stinky head in front of the King of Chu. When the King of Chu looked carefully, he was so scared that he was shaking, trembling all over and unable to speak. Fu Chu walked to the King of Chu step by step, lowered his head, looked at him, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Is this...is Lingyin?"
"Yes, this is Li Yuan's head. He didn't listen to me, so I killed him."
The King of Chu was even more scared. He looked at the brother in front of him and said tremblingly: "I'm afraid."
"Of course you will be afraid... because you are not the son of your father at all, you are just Huang Xie's evil seed. You don't have the courage that the King of Chu should have, and you don't deserve to be the King of Chu!!" Fu Chu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he approached step by step, forcing the King of Chu to retreat continuously. The King of Chu widened his eyes and did not react at all. He shouted, "What are you talking about..."
"Haha, come here, arrest this evil species and put it in jail!"
Fu Chu waved his hand, and a disciple rushed up, pressed the King of Chu to the ground, punched and kicked. How could the thin King of Chu bear it? He fainted on the ground. The eunuchs looked at Fu Chu in fear and did not dare to speak. Fu Chu laughed loudly and ordered: "Let's find a prisoner to kill him... and You, and send someone to kill him..." The disciples grabbed the King of Chu and walked out. Fu Chu looked at the huge palace and slowly sat on the upper position, looked down, and laughed again.
At the end of the third year of the Chu King, Fu Chu killed Li Yuan, the commander of Chu State, and his entire clan, and killed King Han of Chu, killing his younger brother You, and eliminated two brothers with inheritance as quickly as possible. He then became the king of Chu. The nobles of Chu State were naturally very angry when they heard about Fu Chu's behavior, not because he killed Li Yuan, but because he killed the lord, but Fu Chu also had his own reasons.
King Han of Chu is Huang Xie's son, not the son of King of Chu, and he must die.
The land was already in its forefront, and with the general Xiang Yan supported him, the local nobles could only pinch their noses and recognize this matter. In the original history, Fu Chu waited until the tenth year of the King of Chu. The King of Chu died of illness. He expected that he would become the King of Chu, but his younger brother You ascended the throne. Fu Chu was furious and summoned his disciples to kill Li Yuan and then kill King of Chu, thus ascending the throne as king. However, after the changes in history, Fu Chu did not continue to wait.
The rebellion of Fu Chu turned the Qin State into nothingness in Chu State, and the relationship between Qin State and Chu State was officially broken.
Fu Chu's attitude towards Qin was very clear. He wanted to avenge the ancestors of Chu and would never bow to Qin. He immediately began to summon soldiers and ask Xiang Yan to make arrangements for Qin. This series of changes shocked the world. When Lu Buwei heard this, he sighed helplessly, missing Li Yuan, the good friend of the Qin people, and then prepared to send people to protect Housheng and the King of Qi, so as not to have someone in Qi imitate Yan Dan and Xiong Fu Chu's behavior.
The most headache is King Ying Zheng of Qin.
Because his queen Mi Ming is a royal family member of the Chu State.
