After Xiong Huai finished on the throne, he quickly read Yan Lingjun's letter, then looked at the ministers and asked, "Zhuqing was arguing about this matter just now. ”

The crown prince was a prisoner of the country, and when he heard the inquiry of the king of Chu, he immediately responded: "Back to the father, it is exactly like this." Because Yan Lingjun and others wrote to inquire, and Le Jun and they had no news yet, they discussed with the ministers and planned to wait a few days to reply. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he shook his head with a smile: "Feng Jun wrote to ask Le Jun about their affairs, this is not a big deal, just reply directly, why wait a few more days." ”

Jing Shao knew that it was difficult for Le Jun and the others to reply, and he was about to open his mouth to persuade the king of Chu to be the minister who had already replied, so as to force the king of Chu, but he didn't want to, but the king of Chu took the initiative to reply immediately.

Seeing this, Jing Shao showed a hint of joy and praised him: "The king is wise." ”

Then, although many ministers didn't know why the king of Chu agreed to reply so easily, when they heard Jing Shao's words, they all praised him: "The king is wise." ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be polite. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai sat on the throne and did not speak.

After a while, after Zhao saw that the king of Chu agreed to reply, he sat on the throne and did not move, hesitated in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask the king, I don't know how the king plans to reply to Yan Lingjun and them." ”

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that the ministers all looked at Zhao Chang after he spoke, and smiled: "Zhuqing, don't be impatient, wait for the widow to deal with Lejun and their affairs, and then it's not too late to reply." ”

"Dealt with Lejun and their affairs?" Zhao Chang was shocked in his heart, his eyes quickly glanced at the King of Chu, and quickly moved away.

Could it be that Qu Zhi has already found Lejun and them?

This is impossible, Qu Wei has obviously gone to Guangling, it is impossible for him to meet Le Jun and them. Besides, even if Qu Zhi meets Le Jun and them, with the identity of Qu Zhi, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade Le Jun and them to return.

At this moment, Zhao Chang couldn't help but be shocked after listening to the words of King Chu, and the other ministers also secretly wondered in their hearts.

Just when the ministers hesitated, a waiter walked into the hall quickly: "King, Lejun and they have already arrived outside the palace, and they are about to see the king, and they want to ask the king to ask for guilt in person." ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations.

"Lejun, are they outside the palace?"

"It can't be"

In an instant, the hall was filled with the buzz of the courtiers' exclamations.

"Ahem"

Xiong Huai coughed lightly twice, and after interrupting the exclamations of the ministers, he ignored the suspicious gazes of the ministers, and said with a straight face: "Let Lejun and them come in." ”

"Yui."

Soon, when the ministers saw Le Jun and other fifteen people, one by one, one by one, no less, all of them showed shocked expressions.

It was so unexpected.

One second ago, the entire Chu State was still in turmoil because of the flight of Le Jun and others, and the next second, Le Jun and the others took the initiative to surrender.

It's just terrible.

Especially Zhao Chang, looking at Le Jun and them at this time, it was as if he had seen a ghost, and his face was bloodless.

At this time, Le Jun and the others ignored the shocked gaze of the ministers, and even looked at the ministers in the palace, walked into the hall by themselves, and then bowed with a disgraced face: "The king, the ministers are guilty, please give the king." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his face was calm, his tone was full of anger, and he said angrily: "It's only now that you come to ask for sin, don't you think it's a little late?" ”

When Le Jun and the others heard this, although they already knew the punishment that the King of Chu had punished them, they still couldn't help but tremble a little when they heard the words of the King of Chu at this moment, and they bowed half in cooperation and half in fear: "The ministers are guilty, please ask the king to surrender." ”

"Hmph." When Xiong Huai heard this, he snorted coldly.

At this time, the ministers looked at Le Jun and the others who knelt down in the hall to plead guilty, and then secretly looked at the King of Chu, and suddenly hesitated.

This script doesn't seem right!

After Le Jun and others fled, they now woke up again and took the initiative to come back and surrender.

At this moment, shouldn't the King of Chu be appeased?

is so cold and harsh, isn't the king of Chu afraid that Le Jun and them will be angry and run away again

Until this time, there were still many ministers who thought that Lejun had come back on their own initiative.

On the other side, Xiong Huai snorted coldly and then paused, and said sharply: "You should lose the fiefdom and deliberately leave Juyang to return to Yingdu to ask the widow for guilt, this is nothing." The loss of the fiefdom is a crime of great power and non-war. It is not a sin to leave Juyang and return to Yingdu, because the countries have temporarily withdrawn their troops and returned to China, and you will also leave your army in Juyang.

However, after you left Juyang, you should have returned to Yingdu quickly, but what did you do? ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai saw that Le Jun and the others were all lying on the ground, and couldn't help but scold: "But after you left Juyang, you walked slowly all the way, is this your attitude of returning to Yingdu to ask the widow for his guilt?" ”

"A capital offense."

"Capital offense? Slowing down on the road is only one of your culpables. Xiong Huai said coldly: "After the rumors spread in Yingdu, you should have returned to Yingdu quickly to eliminate the rumors, but when you learned the news, you took the opportunity to use the rumors to put pressure on the widow, intending to use the power of rumors to alleviate your own guilt, which is the second of your guilt." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said angrily: "This is the crime of deceiving the king. ”

The ministers in the palace were all stunned, and then immediately looked at Le Jun and them.

The crime of bullying the king, this is a serious crime, how could Lejun confess his guilt.

"A capital offense."

Le Jun and others bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.

The ministers were shocked, and they even confessed to the crime of bullying the king.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Le Jun with a pair of angry eyes, and said angrily: "Le Jun, after the verification of the widow, the Qing system Sima is a spy of the Qi State, killing other feudal monarchs and important ministers first, and dividing the relationship between the monarchs and ministers of our Chu State later, and even spreading rumors, causing chaos in Yingdu and causing some disasters, you can admit this crime." ”

"The ministers are willing to be punished by the king."

Ministers: ""

"Good. Since you have confessed your sins, you must accept the punishment of the widow. Xiong Huai's face softened slightly, nodded, and said loudly: "Despising the king, deceiving the widow, accepting spies, disturbing the country, and deserving punishment according to the law, however, you all have fiefdoms in your body, and according to the law, you should use the fief to atone for the crime, because your fief has been lost, then you should use the title to atone for the crime."

However, before you, I fought bloody battles with various countries in Chencheng, and I had a meritorious service with the country, and the fief was also lost because of the unfavorable war. Therefore, the widow decided to still use the fief to atone for the crime and retain the title. However, Le Jun did not know anyone, and took the spy of Qi as his confidant, which caused turmoil in Yingdu, and he should be punished by one degree and deprived of his title.

Moreover, although you are contemptuous of the widow, you can still restrain yourself from the precipice and come to Yingdu to ask for sin. Therefore, the widow has decided to give you the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. At present, all countries are still eyeing our Chu country, and there is still a war between our Chu country and other countries.

As long as you can fight bravely and make meritorious contributions to the country, when the Chu army recovers the lost territory, the widows can still return your lost fiefdoms to you.

However, if you don't fight well in the future, then don't blame the widow for being polite, even if our Chu army recovers the lost territory in the future, the fiefdom of Qing and others will not be owned by Qing and others.

Can the secretary admit punishment, but can he object? ”

As soon as the King of Chu's voice fell, the ministers immediately looked at the feudal monarchs.

But I saw that the ministers said in unison: "The ministers confessed, and King Xie gave the ministers the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”

When the ministers heard this, many people's hearts sank, and Lejun didn't bargain at all.

Xiong Huai looked at Le Jun and said: "Similarly, this matter is also valid for Le Qing, as long as Le Qing can make meritorious contributions, the widow can not only re-give the title, but also return the happy land to Qing, but only half of the original happy land, Qing can have objections." ”

"The king is long, the minister is grateful, and he wishes to use his body to serve the king to the death."

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded: "Okay, since Qing and the others have all pleaded guilty and been punished, then this matter will be like this." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai turned his head to look at Qu Yuan, who was standing on the side: "Zuo disciple, there is Lao Qing to restore the results of this matter to Yan Lingjun and them, and inform the elders of the country. ”

Qu Yuan immediately replied: "Only." ”

At the same time, Su Dai and the others were all stunned when they got the news that Le Jun and the others suddenly appeared at the gate of the Chu Palace and planned to ask the King of Chu for their guilt.
