The situation was urgent, and this time the king of Chu did not travel with as much fanfare as before, using the army to open the way and disperse the crowd.

Because the Chu Palace was close to Ling Yin Zhaoyang's mansion, Xiong Huai got into the car and set off with only a team of guards.

When he came to Zhaoyang's house, Xiong Huai got out of the car and saw the old Zhaoyu waiting for him next to him.

Without waiting for Zhaoyu to salute, Xiong Huai spoke: "The elder of the country doesn't need to be polite, what is the situation of Ling Yin now." ”

When Zhao Yu heard this, his face sank, and while leading the way, he sighed and said: "King, according to the imperial doctor, if Ling Yin recuperates with peace of mind, he may be able to support it for a day or two, but after Ling Yin woke up, he knew that his time was short, and it was very likely that he would never wake up after falling asleep, so he refused to drink medicine to recuperate, and insisted on seeing the king..."

Xiong Huai's heart darkened, and Yin Zhaoyang was about to explain the future.

When Zhaoyu brought Xiong Huai to Zhaoyang's bedroom, Zhaoyang's youngest son, Zhaoling, was waiting outside the room and immediately saluted when he saw the arrival of the king of Chu.

"Meet the King."

"Excuse me, how about Ling Yin?"

Zhao Ling said with serious tears: "King, my father is waiting for the king to come. ”

"Ugh." Seeing this, Xiong Huai sighed and walked in.

"King!" Zhaoyang, who was lying on the bed, heard the movement outside, and his eyes, which were originally discrete, immediately regained their dazzling brilliance.

Stretched out two hands, wanting to sit up by himself, but at this time, Zhaoyang's hands were no longer able to support him.

wanted to summon others to help him up, but because the others heard the arrival of the king of Chu, they had already fallen to the ground and didn't notice him, so they could only lie on the bed helplessly.

Xiong Huai crossed the screen in the room, heard Zhaoyang gasping for breath, walked quickly to the bed, and saw Zhaoyang, whose face was pale and exuded a gray and dead color.

However, at this time, Zhaoyang's eyes still exuded brilliance.

Xiong Huai knew that this was probably Zhaoyang's last return to light, and couldn't help but grieve in his heart: "Ling Yin, the widow is here." ”

"King, the old minister is no longer good, but when a person is about to die, his words are also good. Before leaving, the old minister had three things in his heart that he had been relieved of, and he wanted to advise the king. Zhaoyang gasped hard.

"Ling Yin, please say." Xiong Huai's originally red eyes felt a tingling pain again, as if tears were flowing out at any time.

"Great King, the first thing is the choice of the heir of the Chu State Order Yin after the old minister."

Xiong Huai's heart moved, could it be that there are other candidates besides Jing Carp?

"Ling Yin, after Aiqing, who can continue."

"King, in a short period of time, Sima Jingli can, what Weichen wants to say is after Jingli."

"After Jing Li?"

"Yes, although there are many young talents in my Chu Kingdom, there are only three people who can have Ling Yin Zhicai, namely Zhao Ju, Zhao Hua, and Qu Yuan."

"These three people, in terms of talent, headed by Zhao Ju, are the best choice for internal affairs and military diplomacy, and they are the best candidates for Ling Yin. But Zhaoju currently has a flaw, that is, he is close to Qin and Zhang Yi, and intends to unite Qin and Chu to dominate the world, which is what the old minister is worried about, and it is also the reason for suppressing Zhaoju in the past few years. ”

And Zhao Slip and Qu Yuan, one is proficient in diplomacy and military affairs, and the other is good at domestic and foreign affairs, both of which can be candidates for Ling Yin. But people are always complicated, and the clan will change, so after Jing Li, Ling Yin's candidate can choose one of these three according to the needs of the king."

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan had already been in direct contact, and they were both talented. As for Zhaoyang's statement that Zhaoju was close to the Qin State, there were also some impressions in the memories of his predecessor.

"King, the danger of my Chu State is not in the Three Jin and Qi States, but only in the Qin State, and the Qin State must be guarded against, this is the second thing that the old minister said."

"After the death of the old minister, please be careful to guard against the Qin State, Zhang Yi is very likely to break his word and wait for the opportunity to attack the Chu State."

"Ling Yin, why is this?"

Xiong Huai felt strange, Zhaoyang had great confidence in the Qin State cutting off the Ba State, how could he change his opinion before he died.

"Did the king ever remember that the old minister once recommended Zhang Yi to the former king?"

"Recommend Zhang Yi ???"

Xiong Huai was slightly stunned, and it took a while to recall from the depths of his predecessor's memory.

That's right, once a long time ago, Zhaoyang once recommended Zhang Yi to his predecessor's father, King Chu Wei, but was rejected by King Chu Wei. The reason is Zhang Yi's moral turpitude.

As for the reason for Zhang Yi's moral corruption, it is also related to Zhaoyang.

In the past, when Zhaoyang had followed the king of Chu Wei to attack the king of Qi Wei, he made great achievements, and afterwards, in order to reward Zhaoyang's military exploits, the treasures and clans of Chu were given to Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang feasted guests for this and invited relatives and friends to come to watch.

What I never expected was that He Shibi was stolen during the banquet.

At that time, only Zhang Yi was a foreigner and had no official position, so the guests accused Zhang Yi of stealing He's bi, and beat him for this.

For Zhaoyang's theft, Zhaoyang didn't believe it, otherwise, with just one suspicion from everyone, Zhang Yi, who was still a white body at the time, could be concocted hundreds of times by those nobles of Chu State, let alone be released immediately and returned home.

Although the action of everyone beating Zhang Yi was quickly stopped by Zhaoyang, Zhang Yi's reputation for moral loss was still spread by other heat in the banquet.

Soon, the news of Zhang Yi's theft reached the ears of King Chu Wei and was learned by King Chu Wei.

Subsequently, Zhaoyang recommended Zhang Yi to the king of Chu several times, but Zhang Yi was not appointed by the king of Chu.

After a period of time, the news of Su Qin's visit to the prime minister in Zhao came to him, and soon Zhang Yi was invited by Su Qin to assist King Zhao together.

Zhang Yi was supported by Su Qin and was soon reused in the Qin State, and Zhang Yi's consistent strategy in the Qin State was to be pro-Wei and Shanchu, if the pro-Wei family and Zhang Yi himself were related to the Wei people, then Shanchu, on the one hand, was because of the strength of the Chu State itself, and on the other hand, it was related to Zhaoyang, who was the first person to appreciate Zhang Yi.

"The king, because the old minister has some friendship with Zhang Yi, he has known each other for decades, and he knows Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi may have deceived other countries for the sake of Qin, but as far as he is concerned, he still knows how to repay his kindness."

"Whether it is the old minister, or Su Qin, who was kind to him in the past, he has kept his promise, Su Qin is in Zhao, Zhang Yi has never instigated Qin to attack Zhao, Lao Chen is in Chu, Zhang Yi has not instigated Qin to attack Chu."

"If the news of the death of the old minister reaches the Qin State, then Zhang Yi's attitude is likely to change greatly, so the king must be careful with the Qin State and Zhang Yi."

"Also, the matter of the great general Qu Kuo entering Ba requires the king to stop immediately, and the Qin State does not send troops to attack the Qi State, so our Chu State must not attack the Ba State first, lest after the division of troops, the Qin army suddenly attack Hanzhong of our Chu State."

"Okay, let Yin rest assured, the widow has written it down." Xiong Huai nodded, even if Zhaoyang didn't say it, he knew that in the end, it was the Qin State that ruled the world, and the Qin State was always a thorn in his heart.
