Chapter 43: Zhaoyang and Mud

Even Chen Zhen himself has been in Chu for some years, but he is still just a guest secretary and has never been reused.

Once the nobles make a fuss, he Chen Zhen is not Qu Yuan, even in the face of the siege of most people, he still lives a very nourishing life, if this happens to him, Chen Zhen thinks about it, there should be no other way but to run away.

The ministers had their own thoughts, and the scene was cold for a while, which made Xiong Huai a little embarrassed.

Isn't the problem I'm talking about difficult to solve?

His gaze first moved to Zhaoyang, and when he saw Zhaoyang's divine wandering objects, he could only shake his head and look at Chen Zhen, who had been in the Qin State for a long time.

Chen Zhen saw the King of Chu looking over, shook his head slightly, and then immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at the King of Chu for a long time, at this time, he had not yet decided whether to be completely tied to the chariot of the King of Chu, and immediately started a war with the nobles of the Chu State.

I'm not afraid that the King of Chu won't support him, but it's just that this is not the time, and more importantly, Chen Zhen is worried that the King of Chu's soft ears will suddenly commit it again, and he will be killed at that time.

Xiong Huai's eyes were stunned, and he immediately hesitated, what did Chen Zhen mean by shaking his head, did he not understand what I meant, or did he understand what I meant but thought that he should not do this?

Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju suspiciously, he was the first to reply, maybe there would be a way.

Seeing that the King of Chu came over, Zhao Ju also thought of the possibility of the Qin State, but he hesitated for a while before he shook his head slightly, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.

Unlike Chen Zhen, who thinks more about himself, Zhao Ju thinks more about the state of Chu, such as the unpredictable situation today, for the state of Chu, it is better to be still than to move, so as not to make a fuss between the king of Chu and the ministers, causing the state of Chu to fall into chaos again.

Zhao Ju also shook his head in disapproval, and Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan again, this is a determined changer.

But to Xiong Huai's disappointment, Qu Yuan also shook his head, and it was more fierce than Chen Zhen and Zhao Ju's silent opposition, as soon as he saw the king of Chu looking over, he immediately made a look at the king of Chu and expressed his strong opposition.

Since Qu Yuan was alienated by the King of Chu, he has either been reflecting on himself and looking for his past mistakes in the past year, or he has been carefully studying the experience and lessons of Li Kui, Wu Qi, and Shang Ying.

Therefore, for the idea of the king of Chu, he naturally understood it very early.

But the move of the king of Chu is too dangerous, Chu is different from Qin, Qin is a weak noble, but the nobles of Chu are a group of people who want money, money, food and grain, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of Qin.

As Qu Yuan said to the King of Chu ten days ago, it is better to change the law slowly than in a hurry.

Xiong Huai saw that the three ministers he had given hope to all opposed, and he was immediately stunned, could this really be a bad idea.

At this time, many people in the group had already reacted, after all, the Shang Ying reform of the Qin State was not far away from now, and the Shang Ying was still killed by the current King of Qin, and many people in the Chu State still cheered for the King of Qin at that time.

The minister, who understood this, immediately lowered his head and responded silently to the king of Chu, and had a silent confrontation.

The other ministers, who hadn't figured it out yet, soon sensed that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, and had a feeling that the mountain rain was coming, so they consciously lowered their heads and acted as ostriches.

Seeing that the ministers were silent about the question of the King of Chu, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, Zhaoyang coughed lightly and said to the King of Chu: "The king is benevolent, the three emperors of Derby, and the ministers are deeply admired." ”

After Zhaoyang attracted all the attention of the ministers, he continued: "But in the world, there are nine times out of ten that those who are not satisfied, it is difficult to think about everything. Moreover, as Gong Yin said, once the law is too lenient, the people of the country will grin and laugh, which will achieve the goal of prevention. ”

"However, the king's love for the people of Chu can not be abandoned, in order to let everyone in Chu can feel the king's mercy, the minister thinks that the first person who violates the law can be punished lightly, and for those who refuse to change their ways, they can be punished severely, please check it carefully."

Jing Li, Zhaoju and other important ministers, after Zhaoyang finished speaking, saluted the king of Chu together and said: "King, let Yin Yanzhi be reasonable, and the ministers seconded it." ”

Xiong Huai saw that Chen Zhen Zhaoju and Qu Yuan also agreed with Zhaoyang's opinion, and immediately felt shocked.

Some people took the lead of the ministers, and others also said to the king of Chu: "The ministers seconded the proposal, and I hope the king will investigate it in detail." ”

Xiong Huai sighed secretly, since the ministers all thought so, he couldn't go against everyone's will and forcibly implement his own ideas.

You can only press the idea of military merit to keep the results that are still obtained.

"What Ling Yin said is reasonable, since this is the case, then it has been decided, I don't know who can preside over the modification of corporal punishment."

Hearing this, Zhaoyang said: "King, since the method of replacing corporal punishment was proposed by Keqing Chen Zhen, this matter can be handed over to Keqing to preside. ”

Zhao Ju followed: "The king, Weichen seconded the proposal, and it can be presided over by the guest secretary." ”

In order to avoid suspicion, Qu Yuan was silent and did not come out in favor, so as not to cause twists and turns.

Because of Zhaoyang's strong support, the ministers also wanted to prevent the king of Chu from having other ideas, so they agreed to Zhaoyang's suggestion to settle the matter of corporal punishment and let Chen Zhen preside over it.

Xiong Huai saw that he had achieved his original goal, so he agreed: "Okay, since Ling Yin recommended it, take Keqing Chen Zhen as the leader, and modify the corporal punishment." ”

After a pause, after no other incident, Xiong Huai announced the dissolution of the dynasty.

After the king of Chu left, the people around Chen Zhen began to congratulate Chen Zhen.

"Keqing is gratifying, once he changes the vicious punishment that has been passed down for thousands of years, it will inevitably be famous all over the world and will be left behind."

"Yes, there is a saying in "Zuo Biography": There is virtue in the Tai, followed by meritorious service, followed by speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is immortal. Keqing was ordered to revise the corporal punishment and turn the evil punishment into a good punishment, which is an act of virtue and goodness, which is enough to leave a name in history and be immortal through the ages. ”

Chen Zhen humbly walked towards Zhaoyang: "Where is it, it's just the benevolence of the king, and the love of Yin." ”

Soon, Chen Zhen crossed the ministers, came to the edge of Zhaoyang, and saluted Zhaoyang: "Ling Yin." ”

Zhaoyang saw Chen Zhen coming to his side, although his face was bloodless, but he barely showed a smile, and said with a relieved smile: "Good, very good, very good." ”

Chen Zhen heard Zhaoyang's voice and wanted to communicate with Zhaoyang, but he didn't want a wisp of blood to flow from the corner of Zhaoyang's mouth, and he fell to the ground and passed out.

"Ling Yin?"

"Zhaoyang!"

"Patriarch..."

After the king of Chu left, Zhaoyang was the center of the ministers, and before Zhaoyang had no other actions, the other ministers all stayed in place, communicating with the people around them about today's situation, and did not leave.

Seeing Zhaoyang fainting at this moment, he immediately stepped forward nervously to check what was going on.

"Imperial Doctor, go and call Imperial Doctor, make Yin faint..."

Xiong Huai was not far from the main hall at this time, and when he heard a big movement coming from the main hall, he glanced at the main hall curiously.

Could it be that the ministers are at odds?
