Chapter 168: Wancheng
Seeing that the king of Chu was silent, Jing Li said lightly: "The king, although the feudal monarchs are expressing their dissatisfaction with the king, they are only asking in the book, and the wording in the book does not appear sharp words of verbal criticism, which shows that the feudal monarchs everywhere still have their hearts towards the king, and I believe that the king will deal with this matter fairly." (. Biqi House bi qi u in pinyin)"
Xiong Huai sighed and said: "Then let's do it, when the court goes to court tomorrow, it is the results of the handling of Xiang Chengjun's matter announced in various places, and after Xiang Chengjun's brother came to Yingdu, he was sent to the palace as soon as possible, and the widow directly announced his succession to Xiang Chengjun's position." ”
"Yui." Jing Carp responded.
Looking at the back of Jing Carp leaving, Xiong Huai shook his head.
He, the king of Chu, was threatened by the local feudal monarch, but Jing Li allowed himself to temporarily compromise with the feudal monarch.
Admittedly, this time it was the royal family who should give in.
But what about after the concessions?
How to get back the field and re-establish the authority of the King of Chu, Jing Li didn't mention a word.
There is neither a short-term plan nor a long-term plan, which means that Jing Carp has been swayed by the rules of the Chu State for hundreds of years.
It's just how to deal with these feudal monarchs who are rich and have an army, Xiong Huai himself is as big as a fight for a while.
Directly cutting the feudal domain, that is to kill yourself, using Emperor Wu's edict, this will also not work, you can't even interfere in the ordinary internal affairs in the feudal territory, not to mention this kind of major event about inheritance.
In the final analysis, these feudal lords have too much power.
Xiong Huai sighed, internal and external troubles, these feudal monarchs could not solve it in a short period of time.
This may be the reason why Jing Liti didn't mention it.
Compared with these feudal monarchs, it is easier to solve these nobles in Yingdu.
After all, the Chu State has been inherited for so many years, and there are so many nobles that on the streets of Yingdu, if you pull out a random person, maybe they are all descendants of the declining nobles.
What's more, in the past hundred years, the sphere of influence of the Chu State has retreated from the river to the Huaishui, and there are also many feudal lords who have lost their fiefs.
There are not only feudal monarchs like Xiang Chengjun who are trying to revive, but also feudal monarchs like Pan Jun who are opportunistic everywhere in Yingdu, and many feudal monarchs who are gradually declining.
Those feudal monarchs who have declined, are they really willing to decline so slowly?
If he is really willing, there will be no Chu Caiqin using this kind of statement in this era.
Before the commoners did not have the strength to defeat the nobles, only the nobles could defeat the nobles.
"The king, the assassin asks to see you."
Hearing Li Qiu's prompt, Xiong Huai gathered his thoughts and said, "Pass." ”
After Chen Zhen came in, Xiong Huai asked, "Xianqing, have you ever found out the reason for Jin Jun's matter?" ”
Pan Jun and the others committed suicide, and they have already explained the matter of Xiang Chengjun, but the reason why Jin Jun and them came to Yingdu cannot but be investigated.
Chen Zhen replied: "Back to the king, after Weichen's preliminary investigation, the reason why Jin Jun and the others deliberately rushed to Yingdu should be related to the big losses in last year's war. ”
With Chen Zhen's narration, Xiong Huai knew what was going on, and it turned out that this was also a way to weaken the feudal monarch.
If there is no one in the feudal lord's territory, then the feudal monarch will still be a feudal monarch!
It's just that last year's opportunity was too rare, and with what happened to Jin Jun and them, I'm afraid that the remaining feudal monarchs are all vigilant.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai sighed: "It's a pity. ”
But after thinking about it, if most of the people of the feudal monarch ran to the king of Chu, I am afraid that now all the feudal monarchs have come to Yingdu to force the palace.
After a pause, Xiong Huai asked: "That is to say, this time Jin Jun has suffered the greatest loss, so Jin Jun's attitude is the most resolute!" ”
Chen Zhen nodded.
Xiong Huai thought for a while and asked Chen Zhen: "The widow remembers that the reason why Jindi is called Jindi is because Jindi is rich in evil gold. ”
Chen Zhen replied: "That's exactly what King Hui is. ”
In addition to being a strategic location for the north of Chu to defend against the Three Jin Dynasty, Wancheng is also the most important iron-smelting base of Chu State.
The reason for this is not only because there is a large amount of iron ore near Wancheng, but also because Wancheng is close to the Qinling Mountains and has rich forests that can be used to burn charcoal and make iron.
Because of the abundant resources and the important strategic location, the state of Chu strengthened the defense of Wancheng many times.
For this reason, Wancheng has become a large city with a large population in the Chu State, with prosperous commerce and extremely developed handicraft industry, especially the iron smelting industry.
The fiefdoms of Ejun and Jin Jun are near Wancheng, although the two are neighbors, but the roads they take are different, Ejun takes the commercial road, and Jin Jun takes the handicraft road.
Therefore, the pillar industry of Jinjun's territory is the iron smelting industry, which requires a lot of labor.
In addition to the experienced blacksmiths, the rest of Jin Jun's subordinates are the people in charge of mining.
As the owner of the Golden Land, all the people in the Golden Land Territory are under the rule of the Golden King.
For this reason, in addition to buying slaves to use as labor, Jin Jun also frequently recruited the people in the territory, which cost no money anyway.
As a result, this time, Jin Jun dispatched soldiers from the territory to support the queen of Chu, and there was an accident.
With the situation of the cash king floating in his mind, Xiong Huai sighed secretly, iron smelting is a good thing.
Thinking of this, Xiong Huai said to Li Qiu: "Bring the Zhanlu sword that the ancestor treasured in the palace." ”
"Yui."
Not long after, Li Qiu walked over with someone holding a sword.
Xiong Huai pulled out his sword, revealing a sword that was as black as ink and black.
This is the first sword cast by Ou Yezi, a swordsmith of the Yue Kingdom, which was dug out of the divine iron in Zhanlu Mountain and cast in Zhanlu Mountain, so it was named Zhanlu Sword.
Gently stroked the sword body with his hand, and did not feel the sharpness of this sword at all, known as the sword of benevolence. In terms of appearance, it is really not good, far less than the sword Tai'a of the kings of Chu in the past dynasties.
Although the legend said that when the Zhan Lu Sword was born, how to cry ghosts and gods in the world, and Ou Yezi himself said that the Zhan Lu Sword was his lifelong pursuit.
But after Xiong Huai pulled out the Tai'a sword on his waist, this sword that Ou Yezi and the two sword-casting masters jointly created for the King of Chu, the majestic and cold Tai'a immediately took Zhan Rupee down.
Although everyone thinks that Zhan Lu, who is obscure, is better than Tai'a, the king of Chu wears Tai'a, and collects Zhan Lu, and even the later Qin Shi Huang regards Tai'a as a portable sword.
This only shows one problem, the sword is also face-looking.
Xiong Huai held a sword in one hand, and compared it again, it was still Tai'a who was more majestic.
Then, Xiong Huai swung out Zhan Lu with one hand.
With a "poof", the wooden case in front of him was cut into two pieces.
Xiong Huai nodded, although the appearance of this sword is not good, but it is also worthy of being recognized by the king of Yue, the king of Wu, and the king of Chu, it is also extremely sharp, no worse than the Tai Acha that he often uses.
With the bottom in his heart, Xiong Huai put Tai'a back on his waist, then picked up Zhan Lu, and said to Chen Zhen: "Go, go to the sword casting workshop, and in addition, send an order to Jin Jun and let him go to the sword casting workshop to see the widow." ”
