Qu Yuan groaned slightly, and then spoke: "Chen Xiang's name has already been heard of by the minister. More than ten years ago, the great Confucian Chen Liang died of illness, Chen Xiang took his brother Chen Xin to Xu Xing, and then followed Xu Xing to Tengguo. After arriving in Teng, it was Chen Xiang who went to persuade Teng Jun, and then Teng Jun adopted a large number of peasant statecraft on the basis of Confucianism.

Teng became rich and powerful, and Chen Xiang's reputation was widely spread. With Chen Xiang's reputation, even if he didn't participate in this assessment, it was enough to serve as the guardian of a county, not to mention standing out in this assessment. ”

It's just...

Having said that, Qu Yuan still hesitated in his heart, not questioning Chen Xiang's ability, but questioning the farmer's doctrine.

The peasants had a strong desire to control the merchants, advocating restricting and even cracking down on the merchants, controlling the market and manipulating prices. If it is a total of everything, it is a curb on business.

The state of Chu has always respected commerce, and the status of big merchants in the state of Chu is extremely high, and Xiangyang, especially Deng County, is an important ferry port of the Han River.

Extremism and extremism are not all bad, and in the process of Shang Ying's reform of the law in the past, it was extremely extreme. However, the situation of the Chu State and the Qin State was completely different, even if the strength of the feudal lords in various places had been severely weakened before, their strength was still not to be underestimated at this moment.

If he pushed those big businessmen to the opposite side, Qu Yuan was worried that in the near future, he would devote some of his energy to deal with the continuous attacks from the court.

However, since the king intended to let Chen Xiang serve as the county guard, he could only silently write down this matter in his heart, remind the other party when Chen Xiang went to work, and be ready for attacks from the ministers at any time.

This is his responsibility in the DPRK, not only to coordinate in the middle, but also to withstand pressure from all sides.

He was ready.

Then, Xiong Huai spoke again: "Since the candidate for the county guard has been decided, then the next candidate is the candidate for the county Yin County Cheng." ”

After a pause, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Two virtuous people, the list of qualified personnel in this assessment has been given to you, and the widow is giving you two days to pick out suitable candidates from them to enrich the three counties of northern Hanbei." In addition to the Ling Yin Sima of the feudal monarchs, the widow is also useful, and the others are chosen by the two virtuous kings, and the widow will fully support it. ”

Qu Yuan and Jiezi glanced at each other, and then saluted together: "King Xie." ”

Three days later.

Xiong Huai and his ministers officially began to divide the power of the counties.

In order to firmly control the counties of northern Han, Xiong Huai had to give up many other county Yin Xiancheng.

The final result is naturally that everyone is happy, and the monarchs and ministers have their own gains.

On the other side, as the dust of this assessment settled, and with the official announcement of the appointment results by the State of Chu, the entire Ying was boiling.

As a result of this assessment, there was a county guard all of a sudden, seven counties Yin in northern Hanbei, five counties Yin in Hannan, thirteen counties in Huainan and Wuyue in the original Yue Kingdom, and this county guarded twenty-five county Yin, which immediately aroused great enthusiasm among everyone.

This is equivalent to one qing, twenty-five doctors, just participating in one assessment, and gaining a respectable status, which is not enviable.

And after the news spread, those who waited and watched, or those who disdained to participate in the assessment, sighed one after another.

Don't talk about the county guard, that Chen Xiang is already famous, which they can't compare.

But the twenty-five county Yin, but all of them are ordinary people, many of them are conceited, and their talents are not only the same as these twenty-five people, but also slightly better.

It's a pity that he was just reserved, and as a result, the position of the county Yin was gone.

That's the county Yin!

Is there such a good opportunity in the future?

For a while, many people couldn't help but secretly regret it while their hearts were hot.

I can't wait to go back in time and give myself a chance to regret it.

And, with the spread of this news, this assessment of Chu State shook the hearts of the people of the world. When all countries learned of this, they also looked sideways, and this time the Chu State seemed to be very unusual.

Of course, with the announcement of official positions in various places, there must be a group of people in Yingdu who are very unhappy with other happy people.

Because just today, the king of Chu officially announced the candidates for the feudal lord Ling Yin in various places.

That's right, it was announced, and without consulting the ministers at all, Ling Yin's candidate was directly announced.

Not only that, but at the same time as it was announced, the king of Chu also ordered that the feudal monarchs should return to the fiefdom with their own Lingyin within three days.

When Feng Jun learned about this, whether it was Jianghan's or Jianghuai's, it was all like eating flies!

Disgusting!

Especially the more than 20 feudal monarchs of Jianghuai, after learning that their Ling Yin was their own Ling Yin recommended by Yiling Jun and others before, they were even more disgusted, not only eating flies, but also carrying fresh Xiang on the fly...

Xiong Huai didn't care what those feudal lords thought, anyway, it was a foregone conclusion, no matter what they thought, they couldn't resist their will.

After sending Chen Xiang and the others away, just when Xiong Huai was waiting for the county Yin to come and ask for his subordinates, an unexpected thing immediately attracted all Xiong Huai's attention.

"King, Shu is in an emergency, and Shu Hou Hui is reversed."

Xiong Huai was shocked, looked at Chen Zhen who was panting and was stunned, and then frowned and confirmed: "Chen Qing, has the news been confirmed, is this really the case?" ”

Chen Zhen nodded: "King, after repeated inspections by the ministers, the matter is confirmed.

Ten days ago, Shu Hou Hui united with Shu Xiang, killed the subordinates who originally belonged to Sima Cuo in Shu, controlled the army and conscripted the people into the army, and then ordered to block the road from Nanzheng to Shu, and officially raised troops and became king. ”

Xiong Huai was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said with emotion: "Back then, the Qin State secretly attacked the widow, and the widow sent people to lobby Shuhou Tong, the son of the King of Shu, in an attempt to make the Marquis of Shu rebel against the Qin State, but the Marquis of Shu refused. Then, the Qin State found out about this, gave the Marquis of Shu to death, and appointed his son Gongzi Hui as the Marquis of Shu to stabilize the land of Shu.

When the widow learned of this, he always regretted that he had lost an important chess piece to contain Bashu. I don't want to, ten years later, the widow has already given up the attention of fighting Bashu, and as a result, at this time, the Marquis of Shu turned back! ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai smiled: "Qin Wangdang and Shu Hou Hui were originally brothers, how long has Qin Wangsi been dead, and Empress Hui is still alive, in this case, Shu Hou turned the other around." ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai thought of the situation in the Chu State and the nobles who had been extremely estranged, and strengthened his determination to take power.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, family affection is so fragile in the face of interests, even one's own brother can't be relied on, let alone other people?"

When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes, and had no expression, as if he hadn't heard it.

At this time, Xiong Huai glanced at Chen Zhen, and then ordered: "Spread the edict, please invite the ministers to come to discuss the matter." ”
