Chapter 588: Fear
After saying a series of truths, Xiong Huai said to the ministers with great expectation: "Princes, private morality and justice, which is more important, must not be ignored. Zhuangzi once said that saints do not die, and thieves do not stop, and this is not without reason. What the widow hopes for is that in the Chu State, there are many people and behaviors like Zilu who are virtuous and immoral, but there is no such virtuous behavior as Zigong.
May the princes and the widows encourage each other. ”
As soon as the words fell, the ministers were stunned, and immediately bowed: "I wish to listen to the king's teachings." ”
At this time, Qiao Jun was immediately anxious when he heard that the king of Chu not only did not accept his donation, but also said that his act of donating his family property was an act of being virtuous and immoral.
The king of Chu did not accept his bribe, so in the near future, will he still agree to his request?
Thinking of the current situation of the fiefdom, Qiao Jun couldn't help but feel cold.
As a feudal monarch, not only enjoys the jurisdiction under his rule, but also shoulders the responsibility of defending the territory for the Chu State, and now the countries have joined forces in Luoyi, and the coalition army is about to attack, and the plan of the Chu State is clearly to abandon Huaibei and retreat to Huaishui.
In this way, the Qiao land where he is will inevitably fall. And his family in the fief is small, if he is lucky, he will die on the spot, and if he is unlucky, he will become a slave, and Qiao Jun can't accept this kind of fate in his heart. What makes Qiao Jun even more unacceptable is that if all his people die in Huaibei, then what's the point of him desperately resisting all countries!
However, before the coalition forces of various countries went south, they abandoned the land and fled, according to the law of the Chu State, the feudal monarch fled without a fight, which is heavier than the crime of annihilating the whole army, and it is a great crime to seize the lord and destroy the clan.
But if you don't run and lead the crowd to defend Qicheng, how many children in the clan can run out?
What's more, Qiao Di soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their strength was greatly reduced, even if the king of Chu saw that he was loyal to his duty, kept Qiao Jun's title, and returned Qiao Di to Qiao Jun in the future.
Qiao Jun was also worried that the children of his own line would not be able to hold Qiao Land, causing Qiao Land to be encroached upon by other nobles.
This kind of fiefdom being embezzled by other nobles is not uncommon in the Chu State, and it happens from time to time, especially those public nobles who hold great power in the court, and they have always had a soft spot for those feudal monarchs whose power is weakened or who have made mistakes. will definitely find ways to oppress, and then take all the fiefs of these feudal lords for themselves.
Not to mention the old age, let's just say that when the Wuqi Rebellion and the new king of Chu Su ascended the throne, the Chu State was wiped out more than 70 nobles at once. Could it be that Wu Qi's pounce, there were really more than 70 frenzied nobles, and the arrows in their hands not only shot through Wu Qi, but also shot the body of King Chu Mourning?
Apparently not, it's just an excuse.
In the civil strife of the Chu State, in addition to the biggest beneficiary and the biggest victim of King Chu Su, there were many ministers who profited from it, took the opportunity to make a lot of money, and took many fiefdoms of the feudal monarchs as their own.
Even, what's more, the ministers of the court and the central government will directly attack other feudal monarchs without going through the king of Chu and embezzle the fiefdom...
Qiao Jun shuddered when he remembered that every time there was turmoil in the Chu State, when the King of Chu could not control the government, the bloody killing among the nobles of the Chu State.
The king of Chu still has to find a reason to stand at the highest point of morality, and those ministers in the court are ruthless and shameless.
Thinking of this, Qiao Jun immediately thought about how to keep Qiao Di from being swallowed by other nobles after his death, under the great reduction in the strength of Qiao Jun's lineage!
After thinking about it, Qiao Jun still felt that among the people in the Chu State who had the ability to keep Qiao Di for Qiao Jun and did not covet Qiao Di, there was probably only one King of Chu.
It's just that when the King of Chu doesn't accept bribes, how can the King of Chu personally come forward to protect Qiao Jun's lineage?
Qiao Jun suddenly remembered that Qiu Jun had made a huge mistake, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Thinking about it, Qiao Jun showed excitement in his heart, and then bowed again: "King, the minister is guilty." ”
Xiong Huai's face sank, and he immediately asked, "Why did Xianqing say this?" ”
Qiao Jun responded: "The king, the minister can't understand the king's mind, so that he makes such a foolish remark, which is almost a disaster to the justice of the country, which is the minister's great sin." ”
Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "Xianqing misunderstood the widow. Fang Cai Xianqing's words of donation are out of loyalty, even if they are ill-thought, they are also out of good intentions, how can the widow blame Xianqing! ”
Qiao Jun bowed again: "The king, even if the king does not blame the minister, but the minister is also very self-reproachful in his heart, and what makes the minister's heart even more uneasy, the minister is stupid, I am afraid that he will not be able to understand the deep meaning of the king, and he will not be able to tell the people of Qiao Di the king's teachings." The old minister had a reluctant feeling, and asked the king to agree. ”
Xiong Huai looked at Qiao Jun who had been worshipping on the ground for a long time, and asked Chi Chi: "I don't know what Qing wants?" ”
When Qiao Jun heard this, he immediately responded: "The king, the minister is stupid, and he is not as good as the king, so please follow the example of Qiu Jun and ask the king to arrange a Ling Yin and Sima for the minister to assist the minister in governing the people of Qiaodi." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace suddenly changed color. Although he knew that Qiao Jun was seeking to save himself, he never expected that Qiao Jun would shirk the responsibility of defending the land and put the responsibility for the defeat on the King of Chu.
Xiong Huai also looked at Qiao Jun in shock.
As soon as his mind turned, he knew that this Qiao Jun handed over the power in the fief was false, and it was true to shirk the responsibility, so as to prevent Qiao County from being punished according to the law and deprived of the title after Qiao Di was lost.
After understanding Qiao Jun's purpose, a wave of anger instantly surged into his mind from his heart.
Although it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Qiao Jun's behavior has broken through the bottom line of the feudal monarch.
There are benefits, the feudal monarchs and nobles are trying every possible way to get on it, and they can't wait to take all the benefits on their heads, and Xiong Huai will endure it, after all, the feudal monarchs of Chu have been doing it for hundreds of years.
Once an unfavorable situation arises, the feudal lords do everything possible to circumvent it, or transfer the blame to others, or transfer the loss to the state. I also put up with this Xionghuai, after all, they are also used to it.
But what Xiong Huai couldn't bear was that when the national disaster was at hand, there was such an act of Qiao Jun who did not want to be loyal to the country, but planned to hand over power to avoid war and shirk responsibility.
In the matter of peace in the world, Qiao Jun firmly holds all the power of Qiaodi, and he, the king of Chu, cannot interfere in the affairs of Qiaodi. Now that the countries are coming, Qiao Di can't hold it, Qiao Jun doesn't want to repay the country with death to thank Jun for his kindness, but exchanges Qiao Di's power to the King of Chu. Once Qiao Di is lost, the blame can be shifted to Ling Yin and Sima sent by the King of Chu. Then he, Qiao Jun, stayed in Yingdu and continued to live under Qiao Jun's title.
If the state of Chu is invincible and undefeated after the war, the countries retreat, and Qiaodi is recaptured, even if Qiaodi makes Yin Sima all the people of the king of Chu at that time, it will not be a big deal for Qiao Jun.
