When the two returned to the palace, Xiong Huai straightened his face, and then asked, "Chen Qing, I don't know how the feudal lords from all over the country reacted after going to court yesterday?" ”

Chen Zhen replied expressionlessly: "King, after going down to the court yesterday, Shang Jun and more than ten other people gathered at Quyang Jun and discussed for a long time, because the spies couldn't get close, so I don't know what they said. Later, when the news of the king's killing of Xunjun and their entire clan arrived, Lu Jun and the others left immediately, and then Qu Yangjun and Shang Jun and the six of them had a secret conversation again for a while, and then dispersed.

After that, Quyangjun held a banquet and invited all the feudal monarchs to meet. Last night, the feudal monarchs feasted and drank at Quyangjun's place until late at night, and then left.

Today, early in the morning, after the city gates were opened, most of the feudal lords returned to their fiefdoms. Only Shang Jun, Zhong Lijun, and Liujun stayed in Yingdu. ”

As he spoke, Chen Zhen paused, then looked at King Chu and said, "It is said that the three of them are drunk and have not woken up. ”

"Shang Jun and the three of them finally ended their secret conversation with Qu Yangjun, and then they were drunk again!" Xiong Huai said and chuckled, knowing that this was the interface for them to stay in Yingdu, and nine times out of ten they wanted to worship the ministers of the court in Yingdu.

In this regard, Xiong Huai also deliberately took it to heart, and said with a smile: "Chen Qing, keep an eye on the three of them, but the widow wants to see what they want to do when they stay in Yingdu." In addition, the feudal lords in various places are also keeping an eye on them. The widow wanted to know what they would do if Ling Yin was about to arrive. ”

"Yui."

Next, Shang Jun and the three stayed in Yingdu for two days again, first bowed to the prince, and then visited many important ministers in Yingdu, and then left Yingdu and returned to the fiefdom.

As all the feudal lords left Yingdu, the tense atmosphere in Yingdu gradually calmed down, at least, it became calm on the surface.

As time went by, it was September.

At the same time, the talents recommended from all over the vicinity of Yingdu began to rush to Yingdu one after another.

In the Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai couldn't help frowning when he took the third talent who arrived in Yingdu, the talent profile recommended by Luo County Yin.

"Luo Xin, Luo County people, Luo County people, highly respected..."

Xiong Huai just had a cursory look, and then fell on Luo Xindi's age, this Luo Xin is already eighty and six this year...

At such an advanced age, in this era, almost all of them can be regarded as auspicious, and it is not good if you can't think of being famous.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai couldn't help but scold in his heart: The widow asked the people to recommend talents from all over the country, but they didn't want to, they dared to recommend this kind of person to the widow. Others preach noble morals and filial piety, at least they are only thirty or forty years old, even if they don't have any talents, they have a lot of strength.

And this Luo Xin, who is eighty-six years old, has half a foot in the grave, and can't walk, what else can he do?

Do you want to let the widow provide for you?

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai faintly felt a sense of anger in his heart.

"Edict, please assassinate Shi Ling to see the widow!"

Not long after, Chen Zhen arrived, and the monarch and the minister were opposite.

Xiong Huai frowned and said: "Chen Qing, the talents recommended by Luo County arrived in Yingdu today, plus the talents recommended by the power land in the past two days, these three people were all promoted by the local people as moral people, so they were recommended to the widows."

It's just that these three people, the widows, all have doubts, whether they are really morally good as they say everywhere. ”

As soon as Chen Zhen heard the tone of the King of Chu with a sense of anger, he immediately gave up his hand and said: "The ministers have orders, Luo Di, Quandi, and that land are all close to the left of Yingdu, and it only takes one day to go back and forth, and after three days, the minister will find out the truth." ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai nodded, and then frowned again: "There is one more thing, the widow feels that this atmosphere is not right, the places near Yingdu, the recommended talents, according to their own descriptions, are all moral, and there is no mention of talent. Not to mention, there are only three people here, and there is an old man over eighty.

And the widow let the people in various places raise talents this time, in order to select talents and make up for the subordinate officials in various places, what is needed is shrewd and capable people.

If the talent is insufficient, the widow is worried that it will backfire and miss the widow's big thing. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen hesitantly and said: "Therefore, the widow is a little worried, this time the talents recommended from all over the country will be like these three places, and the people recommended are all people with excellent conduct, but they don't have many talents." Xianqing went to check all over the place to see if there were people who violated the law, cheated, and perfunctory at will! ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, his heart sank slightly.

He knew very well in his heart that the thing that the king of Chu was most concerned about now was to select talents, fill the localities, take back local power, and strengthen the centralization of power, so as to prepare for the next comprehensive change.

If all the talents recommended by various places this time are not available, then it will undoubtedly greatly delay King Chu's plan.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhen replied solemnly: "Only, the minister will go to investigate this matter!" ”

······

Three days have passed.

See you on the third day, and the talents recommended by the land of Jianghan have arrived in Yingdu one after another.

Although Xiong Huai has not yet summoned these talents, he found from the letters of recommendation sent from all over the country that it is not surprising that these people are all morally outstanding, even if a few people are not, they are also highly respected people of high age.

Seeing this, how could Xiong Huai not know that the matter of recommending talents in his edict was yellow nine times out of ten, not only yellow, but also a laughing stock of all countries.

Just when Xiong Huai was furious, a waiter reported: "King, the assassin asks to see you." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately responded: "Please stab Shi Ling in." ”

"Yui."

After a while, Chen Zhen walked in quickly.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai didn't wait for Chen Zhen to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Chen Qing, I don't know what the widow asked Xianqing to investigate three days ago, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Chen Zhen immediately nodded and said, "Back to the king, the minister has already sent people to the three places." Ding Jin, a virtuous person recommended by Quandi, is a businessman in Quancheng City, and his family has been running a guest house for generations, and he has a lot of money. Ding Jin is also a well-known person in Quancheng, operating the guest house handed down by his ancestors, and has always treated people with sincerity, never oppressing foreign guests, and is quite praised by business travelers from all over the world.

Especially not long ago, when the Qin State besieged Xiangyang, the people in the north were worried that Xiangyang would be broken, the family was plundered by the Qin army, and the clansmen were arrested and enslaved, so many people fled to the south. At this time, Ding Jin deliberately set up a porridge shop on the road outside the power to provide help to the people who fled south.

This move was praised by many people, so the county Yin of Quandi, thinking that his morality was outstanding, recommended him to the king. ”

Xiong Huai nodded when he heard this: "Treat people with sincerity, Tong Su is not bullied, this is just the duty of a businessman, and setting up a porridge shop to help the people of the country is a kind act, which can be rewarded and encouraged." ”

"What the king said is very true." Chen Zhen responded, paused, took a breath, and continued: "As for the mountains of that land, they are ordinary people who live in the outskirts of that land, and they have no surnames, their names are mountains, and they have lived by farming for generations. Thirty-five years ago, his mother died in childbirth while giving birth to her brother, and then thirty years ago, his father fell down the mountain and broke his leg when he went up the mountain to chop wood.

At that time, the thirteen-year-old mountain took up the burden of the family, farming during farming, going up to the mountain to chop firewood in his spare time, and occasionally acting as a hunter. In this way, while taking care of his injured father, while raising his younger brother, he lived in poverty for more than ten years, and when his younger brother grew up, his family ended a poor life. ”
