Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, then raised his head slightly, and said domineeringly: "Zhuguo! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, is it possible that the widow appoints the local feudal monarch's Ling Yin, and he still needs to obtain the consent of the feudal monarch? If it is after the appointment of the widow, who will dare to oppose it? ”

Zhao Ju was stunned for a moment when he heard this, it seems that the king of Chu plans to forcibly send Ling Yin to the feudal monarchs in various places.

Although it was somewhat radical, it also expressed the determination of the king of Chu on this matter.

Zhao Ju's mind turned around, and he suddenly found that at this moment, it was the best time to forcibly dispatch Ling Yin.

And such an opportunity is not the destiny of the king of Chu, and he can have whatever he wants, then it is the result of deliberate layout.

I think of the Yue Kingdom that collapsed in an instant.

Zhao Ju's heart suddenly felt cold, it turned out that the arrow had left the string, his opinion was no longer important at this moment, what the King of Chu wanted now was just his support, no, or no opposition.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ju didn't dare to look at King Chu, and instantly made a decision, and arched his hand: "The king is wise." ”

At this time, Jing Cui's face suddenly changed.

Originally, he thought that he was far from being the opponent of Qu Yuan, who was good at rhetoric. He also wanted Zhao Ju to refute Qu Yuan!

As a result, as soon as the king of Chu said a word, Zhao Ju was immediately instigated.

Seeing this, Jing Cui was shocked and angry in his heart, if this was the case, if he didn't come forward to dissuade the King of Chu, who could stop the King of Chu.

Once the king of Chu is strong, the state of Chu will inevitably fall into civil strife, and even if all parts of the country dare not rebel, they will be separated from Yingdu.

So, what if countries take advantage of the opportunity to attack?

Thinking about it, Jing Cui immediately said with a resolute face: "King, the minister thinks that the matter of sending Ling Yin is very inappropriate..."

Before Jing Cui finished speaking, Xiong Huai was furious and said: "Ling Yin, what's wrong with this, the feudal lords of all places can betray the widow and fornicate with the enemy country, can't the widow send Ling Yin to assist them?"

The reason why they betrayed the widow with impunity was not long because they thought that even if they were secretly treasonous, they did not know about it? This kind of thing can be endured by a widow once, but it can never be endured a second time. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai waved his hand and said coldly: "Therefore, please order Yin not to say anything more, the widow's mind has been decided, and Yin will definitely be dispatched!" ”

Jing Cui was stunned when he heard that King Chu was so tough, and then he was shocked and responded: "Only! ”

Then, after Xiong Huai saw that Jing Cui was suppressed, he spoke:

"Spread the edict, Xijun and others collaborated with the enemy and treason first, and absconded in fear of crime, their crimes are terrible! ordered Zuo Sima Gong Sun Yan to immediately lead people to arrest the five people of Xijun back to Yingdu and wait for the judgment of the widow! ”

"Yui!" Gongsun Yan immediately surrendered.

"Spread the edict, Yiling Jun and others fornicated with the enemy country, and their crimes should be punished. In the face of the disobedience of the monarch's father, the sons of Yiling Jun and others did not admonish him, and second, he did not report to the widow, so that the monarch's father made a big mistake and died to atone for his crimes. Therefore, the sons of the generations are guilty of disloyalty and filial piety, and they cannot inherit the title and fief. ”

Then, in Jingcui's fright, Xiong Huai looked at Qu Yuan and said, "Zuo disciple! ”

"The minister is here!"

Xianqing immediately united with the three Lu doctors, Tingli, and Si Defeat, convicted the feudal princes who had fornicated with the enemy country, and sent someone to arrest them back to Yingdu for trial. At the same time, let the second sons of these feudal monarchs come to Yingdu to be entitled, and if there is no son-in-law except for the son, let the eldest son come to be entitled. If there is no child, a sage will be selected from the side branch to be enshrined! ”

"Yui!"

At this time, Zhao Ju sighed silently in his heart, first kill the feudal monarch, get rid of the feudal monarch's son, and let the other descendants of the feudal monarch inherit the title and fief, so that the feudal monarch south of the Han River has no resistance and can only accept the order sent by the king of Chu.

And those feudal monarchs of Jianghuai, in the case of the great injury of the feudal monarchs in the west, are unable to support themselves, and I am afraid they can only accept it helplessly.

This is indeed not a coincidence.

Zhao Ju was still sighing in his heart, and on the other side, Xiong Huai paused for a moment, and then instructed Jing Cui: "Ling Yin, pass on the edict of the widow, let the chiefs of all places recommend a talented person, and send Yingdu to participate in the assessment within three months." Whoever is appointed by a widow is counted once. If there is a great sage, it is considered a great achievement. ”

"Yui."

After ordering everything, Xiong Huai waved his hand: "Stand down!" ”

"Yui!"

After Jing Cui and the others left, Xiong Huai's face showed a determined look, this change is imperative, no one can stop it, no matter who wants to stop him, he will die.

Xiong Huai thought of the files he had consulted in the palace over the years, and for those feudal monarchs, there were two traces of fear in his eyes, three points of resentment, and five points of helplessness.

Why is he, as the king of Chu, using such insidious means to calculate his own king, this is really a last resort, because normal means are no longer feasible.

The feudal monarchs forced him to do this, this is his personal experience of being the king of Chu for more than 20 years, and it is his horror and resentment after hitting the wall one after another.

In that year, Zhaoyang defeated Qi and Wei, and after nearly a year of continuous use of troops, because of the huge cost of the war, the Chu State once had a financial crisis, and the people also went bankrupt and fled because of this war.

Then, the Yue State saw that the Chu State was tired, and took the opportunity to attack, at that time, the Nuoda Chu State, for a time, there would be a shortage of military service taxes, and in the face of the attack of the Yue State, it continued to retreat, and even the Hangou that had been controlled by the Chu State lost more than half.

At that time, the predecessor couldn't figure it out, obviously the Chu State defeated Qi and Wei, and the losses were not serious, why the Chu State that won a big victory would be worse than Qi and Wei.

The predecessor thought that the people were fleeing to avoid taxes.

For this reason, he asked Ling Yin Zhaoyang to arrest thieves while carrying out a large-scale household registration inspection operation across the country.

As a result, it took more than half a year, very few thieves were arrested, and the results of the household registration check were also fruitless, and there were so many people.

In this regard, the predecessor was unbelievable, how could there be only such a small number of people in the Nuoda Chu State? Even conscription is insufficient?

Subsequently, in a fit of rage, the predecessor dismissed several county Yin Hou, and then, in the following year, again asked Yin Zhaoyang to check the national household registration. The result this time, like last time, there are fewer and fewer people in the Chu State.

After the former Ren got the result from Zhaoyang, he was immediately incredulous.

He never thought that there would be so few people in the Nuoda Chu State.

Faced with the war again, he couldn't help but be much more cautious and did not dare to easily carry out a large-scale foreign war.

The consequence is that the Qin State, whose land population is inferior to that of Chu, can use troops abroad for many years, and it still seems to have spare strength. However, the state of Chu needs to be constantly carefully considered, lest the people flee again, and among the countries, it seems extremely weak.

This is not without reason.

Including Xiong Huai himself, he is also extremely cautious. In order to prevent the people from fleeing, or to prevent the people from going bankrupt, they had to be tax-exempt on a large scale after the war.

Subsequently, if it were not for the large use of stone grinding, and the vigorous promotion of wheat and rice, and the use of wheat and rice to increase the wealth of the people, so as to prevent the people from going bankrupt and fleeing, I am afraid that the Chu State would not have been able to use troops abroad in succession over the years.

Even so, Xiong Huai did not dare to recruit troops from one place in a row, but took turns to recruit troops from all over the country so that the people could cultivate.

In order to attack the Yue Kingdom, it took nearly ten years of preparation to launch a national war.

As long as the current feudal system of the Chu State is not changed, and the status quo of private land is not taxed, then the Chu State will not be able to change the weak reality.

In order to change this status quo, in addition to forcibly promoting it at the central level, there must also be a place with strong executive power.

Otherwise, no matter how good the central government is, if all localities disobey the good or simply do not implement it, it will be a disaster.

Not only for the people, but also for him, the king of Chu!

To change the law, we have to start with the rule of officials.
