After Gongsun Yan led the army back to Yingdu, then Zhaoju and Jingcui also led the army back one after another.

For a time, outside the city of Yingdu, 100,000 Chu troops gathered.

At the same time, because of Ling Yin's vacancy, Zhao Ju and Jing Cui suddenly became the two eye of the storm in Yingdu.

Then, with the return of Qu Yuan, as the entire feudal monarch of northern Han was empty, the atmosphere in Yingdu became more and more depressing.

With the arrival of all the feudal lords in Yingdu, the day of the great court meeting of the Chu State is getting closer and closer.

Autumn is not only the season of harvest, but also the season of killing. The White Emperor, who is in charge of autumn, is not only the god of harvest, but also the lord of killing.

July 15, the day of the autumn festival, which is one of the most important sacrifice days of the year, the harvest and ancestor worship are held on this day. At the same time, as the autumn full of slaughter, the autumn beheading also starts from this day and lasts until the winter (except for the Qin State, which can execute criminals at any time of the year, other countries generally kill people in autumn, which is also one of the reasons why the Qin State is called a barbarian country and is incompatible with all countries in the world).

It is also this day, and it is also the day when the state of Chu holds a great court meeting.

On this day, after the ministers entered the main hall, the entire hall was immediately crowded. However, the hall full of people was silent, and the entire hall fell into a dead silence, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy, overwhelming.

When Xiong Huai walked into the main hall, he felt the atmosphere in the air, his face straightened, and then he walked quickly to the throne and sat down.

As soon as the king of Chu sat down, the ministers immediately shouted in unison: "Meet the king!" ”

"Excuse me!"

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai's sharp gaze swept over the ministers, then retracted his gaze, his face was heavy, he slowly opened his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, before my Chu State experienced a battle to the death, in this battle, my Chu State paid a heavy price for the throne, which made Yin Jingli die of grief and indignation, the general Zhao Rat was killed in battle, and Ye Gong Jinjun and others also died on the battlefield.

Not only that, but our Chu State has lost a large area of land such as Hanzhong Shangyong and Zhongxiangcheng Huaibei, and this great war is an unprecedented fiasco for our Chu State for decades, and the widow is deeply ashamed. ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately bowed and said: "The ministers have been entrusted by the king, capital crime, capital crime!" ”

Xiong Huai paused, showed a hint of a smile, and continued: "Fortunately, thanks to the service of the ministers, the soldiers and soldiers, and the concerted efforts of the monarchs and ministers of my Chu State, this can repel the Six-Nations Alliance Army and keep my Chu State safe, this is all the work of the Secretaries." ”

"The ministers are terrified." Goodbye, ministers.

"But!" Xiong Huai's face changed again, and then he said angrily: "The widow never thought that in addition to the loyal ministers like Ye Gong Jinjun who dared to fight to the death, and the loyal ministers like Yang Jun who would rather die than surrender under the threat of the whole clan, there were also traitors like Sheng Jun who took the initiative to commit treason to the enemy, and there were villains like Jiuli Jun who saw the wind and made the rudder submit to other countries.

and bring them to the temple. ”

"Yui!"

When the ministers heard the words of the King of Chu, they immediately mourned silently for Jiuli Jun.

Before Jiulijun and others were escorted in the army, no one could visit, and everyone had already noticed that something was wrong, and now Jiulijun was named by the king of Chu again, and was ranked with Sheng Jun, now, he is dead, even if the king of Chu does not kill him, but after being named, does he still have the face to continue to live?

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is how many people will die this time!

After a while, Sheng Jun, who was haggard and skinny, was the first to be pressed into the palace by the palace guards. Then, ten people, including Ying Jun, who had bloodless faces, also slowly walked into the hall under the guard of two guards.

After they knelt down, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju and asked, "Sima, what should you be guilty of defecting to the battle, resulting in a fiasco in the war, and the country losing its land and losing its division?" ”

Zhao Ju glanced at Sheng Jun and responded: "Back to the king, his crime should be exterminated, and as for Sheng Jun, who defected to the battle, he should be split as a punishment." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, then swept his gaze over the ministers, looked at the ministers, and said in a cold tone: "Sheng Jun, Yiyang Jun, and Zhaoling Jun defected to other countries, causing Danxi to be defeated, Ye Gong and others died in battle, and they should be wiped out."

I don't know if you have any objections? ”

When the ministers heard this, their hearts were cold, and they also gritted their teeth with hatred for the behavior of Sheng Jun and the others, so naturally they would not intercede for Sheng Jun and the others.

So, they all spoke:

"The king is wise."

"Sheng Jun and the others are to blame for their deaths."

"King, it is too cheap for Yiyang Jun to summon Lingjun to die, according to the minister's opinion, he should dig up the bones, whip a hundred, and then divide the corpses of five horses and storm the corpse wilderness as a punishment."

······

In the discussion of the ministers, Xiong Huai raised his hand, stopped the discussion of the ministers, and said: "Since the ministers have no objections, then..."

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Tingli Sun Hao and said: "Tingli, pass on the edict of the widow, destroy the entire clan of Sheng Jun and the three people, and execute them immediately." In addition, take Sheng Jun down and the car will crack. ”

"Yui!"

The ministers looked at Sheng Jun who was dragged away, and saw that he didn't react at all at this moment, and knew that Sheng Jun was already dead and numb.

Then, the ministers looked at Ying Jun and the other ten people in the palace, and then it was their turn.

At this time, among the ministers in the palace, there were already many worries in their hearts. Yin Jun and they have been turned into feudal kings by the king of Chu because of the loss of their fiefdoms. Now, the king of Chu has disposed of Ying Jun and them again, and from now on, there will be no more feudal kings in the northern part of the Chu State.

Moreover, this time is completely different from the last time when King Chusu was king, when King Chusu was king, although the direct territory of the royal family also skyrocketed, but that time, the strength of some big nobles was also strengthened. This time, after a year and a half of war, the strength of the nobility was greatly weakened, and although the power of the royal family was also weakened, the territory directly under the royal family was greatly expanded.

If the King of Chu plans to activate Qu Yuan's transformation again, will the nobles still have the strength to restrict the King of Chu?

Thinking about it, many people's eyes involuntarily drifted to Qu Yuan on the side.

After disposing of Sheng Jun and the three of them, Xiong Huai immediately decided to start moving on to the next topic, regardless of what the ministers were thinking at the moment.

Then, he asked Zhao Ju again: "Sima, Ying Jun and others surrendered to the enemy after being defeated and captured, how should they be dealt with according to the law?" ”

Zhao Ju replied expressionlessly: "King, Ying Jun and others followed Ye Gong to be defeated by the Qin-Han coalition army in Danxi, according to the law, the lord will kill Ye Gong, as generals in the army, they are also to blame, and they should be demoted." Subsequently, after being captured, he defected to the Qin-Han coalition army, and formed an army to besiege Xiangyang, an important town of China.

However, if they can get lost and turn back again, they can avoid the crime of extermination, and the whole clan will be reduced to a commoner. In response to the meritorious service of the three of Jun, Zhan Yangjun and Jun, he won the first rank of general of the Qin-Han coalition army. Therefore, only the title can be retained, and the fiefs and titles of the three should be fully recovered.

In addition, Jiuli Jun Jiangjun and other eight people returned because of no success, and they should be demoted to concubines and exiled. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this, and then asked Ying Jun and the others: "Ying Jun, do you have any objections to Sima Zhi's words, what do you have to say?" ”

When Ying Jun and the others heard this, their faces turned ashen, they all shook their heads, and responded: "The king is merciful, and the ministers have no objections. ”
