King Kaolie of Chu is offering sacrifices to his ancestors.
Although it is not the time for sacrifice now, it does not prevent him from coming here from time to time.
Tai'a had already been lost once, so there was no reason for the Chu State Phoenix Statue to be lost again.
After all, it was because the domestic unrest was too great that King Kaolie of Chu felt a little bored.
The bitter feud between Chunshen Jun Huang Xie and Li Yuan was a long-standing issue from a few years ago. However, during this meeting in Anyi, Chunshen Jun was oppressed by the Qin prince, now King Ying Zheng, and was now so old that he could no longer bear it.
Li Yuan, who had already had some ideas in mind, naturally would not miss this opportunity and severely suppressed Chunshen Jun's faction.
Chunshen Jun was already old, and after returning to the Chu capital Chencheng, he spent most of his time sleeping. He certainly couldn't take care of the things happening here.
When everyone thought that the wealthy family of Chu State was about to be replaced, Chunshen Jun woke up and threatened to kill Li Yuan at the court meeting yesterday.
He had made great contributions and was very old, so no one in the court dared to speak to Li Yuan, even King Kaolie of Chu was frightened.
I was lucky yesterday as I found an excuse to get away with it. I'm afraid that Chunshen Jun Huang Xie would have died in the court yesterday, and Li Yuan would have had to be taken down with him.
If it weren't for the excuse of ancestor worship today, there would probably be more trouble.
You can only hide for a while, how can you hide forever?
Ultimately, King Kaolie of Chu underestimated Chunshen Jun's ruthlessness and overestimated Li Yuan's methods.
If Li Yuan's sister Li Yan had not been his favorite concubine and had not given birth to the Crown Prince of Chu, Xiong Han (Dao), Li Yuan would have given up.
In the final analysis, it is just a tool. If it is not convenient to use or it conflicts with your interests, just give it up.
Now that the ancestral worship ceremony has passed, King Kaolie of Chu is the only one left in the huge ancestral hall.
Today, for some reason, King Kaolie of Chu drove out all the witches and guards here, leaving him alone sitting here.
I was probably tired yesterday, otherwise there would have been someone serving me.
“Clang clang——”
An unknown sound came and gave King Kaolie of Chu a start.
The sound is similar to that of a flute and also like the singing of birds. It is extremely peculiar and not unpleasant at all. It is even pleasant to the ears and makes people feel comfortable.
King Kaolie of Chu looked around and remembered that the sacrificial hall was closed. Apart from the light from the candles, there was no trace of the outside world.
The clear and melodious bird song appeared in this room, as if it was singing in the ear of King Kaolie of Chu.
“Clang clang——”
There was another burst of chirping, and this time King Kaolie of Chu heard it clearly.
The phoenix statue in front of him seemed to come alive, flapping its wings and looking at King Kaolie of Chu.
King Kaolie of Chu was sweating profusely on his forehead. The phoenix in front of him had already arrived in front of him, with its sharp beak right in front of his nose.
"Gudong." King Kaolie of Chu swallowed his saliva, but did not shout out in the end. He just looked at the phoenix statue in front of him.
"Are you scared?" The voice was a male's, but it sounded particularly gentle, like the singing of hundreds of birds, humming a song in King Kaolie of Chu's ear.
"I wonder who you are?" The back of King Kaolie of Chu was wet. He didn't dare to make any other movements now. He just moved back quietly under the pretext of asking questions.
The phoenix statue seemed to have noticed King Kaolie's movements, so it took a step forward and continued to speak while still sticking close to King Kaolie's face:
"It's just a bird, a statue, a totem. Why are you so scared?"
"How could I be afraid? It's just that it's a little cold in this hall and I've broken out in a cold sweat." King Kaolie of Chu would never admit that he was afraid. If he admitted it, who knows what would happen.
"If you're not afraid, why did you take a few steps back?" Feng Luan said jokingly, but then changed the subject and said something serious:
"You, King of Chu, have truly brought shame upon our ancestors. I couldn't stand it any more, so I came to rebuke you. So, you don't need to be afraid."
"How have I lost face?!" King Kaolie of Chu didn't mean anything, but the statue actually dared to say that he had lost face, so he naturally didn't like it.
Although the State of Chu gradually declined after King Huai of Chu, it still remained one of the top countries. If it were not for Qin's Ying Zheng, why would the State of Chu bow to Qin?
"You're not even the Crown Prince of Chu, much less his royal bloodline. Is this considered shameful?"
King Kaolie of Chu's face changed slightly, but he didn't show it in the end. He suppressed his anger and scolded, "Don't think that just because you are the totem of our Chu State, you can be so presumptuous!"
This was a slap in his face. He had never had many children and finally had a son, but now this beast who came out of nowhere said that the son was not his.
How could I believe this, how could I listen to this? I would just keep it in mind and check it out later.
"What do you want? Don't you want to recognize me? Do you want to change your ancestor? Or do you not want to recognize Taiyi?!"
This was a heart-breaking act, and also a wake-up call for King Kaolie of Chu.
This is the sacrificial hall, where the Chu royal family holds ancestral worship. It is protected by the True God Taiyi and accompanied by the gods Zhurong who have transformed into phoenixes. It is the most honorable place on this land.
The significance here is far more important than him as the King of Chu. This phoenix statue is the manifestation of Zhurong, the manifestation of the true god who accompanied Taiyi when he was born.
"Later generations do not know that they are often arrogant. I hope our ancestors will bear with us." No matter what, King Kaolie of Chu could only submit and bow his head.
He has no descendants, and there are many people in the royal family who are eyeing this position. If he really offends this place and his ancestors, the first thing he will lose is his throne, not this totem.
