When the prince heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see." ”

Nanhou was overjoyed when he heard this: "The doctor is worthy of being a great sage, and he gave the doctor a hundred gold." ”

Doctor Shangguan said happily: "Thank you, Queen." ”

“······” Xiong Huai heard this: "It turns out that the widow's static character has such a profound meaning, and with the explanation of the Shangguan doctor, the widow is also a lot more relieved." ”

It's just that the friendship between the harem and the ministers made Xiong Huai vigilant.

Nanhou befriended Dr. Shangguan, and before that, Zheng Sleeve and Jin Shang befriended, and the two sides helped each other, which made Xiong Huai very unhappy.

Although there is no such thing as a harem interfering in politics yet, this situation cannot but be prevented.

But if the queen and the crown prince are punished, this will cause a backlash from the ministers.

However, belittleing Shangguan Dafu for no reason will not only make Nanhou and the prince suspicious, but also his own rewards and punishments are unknown, and it will also damage the reputation of the king of Chu.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai instructed Li Qiu: "Send an order to Ling Yin, going to Qi and Song to seek talent is a major event of my Chu State, and the crown prince is the foundation of a country, so you must be cautious." Therefore, my Chu State needs to send an important minister to show the sincerity of my Chu State, Shangguan Doctor has both virtue and ability, according to the opinion of the widow, then Shangguan Doctor. ”

It is a very honorable thing to select talents for the country, and it is still to hire a teacher for the prince, which is not only the trust of the king but also a show of favor to the prince, and can also sell favors to the prince's teacher.

In addition, the two candidates confirmed by the king of Chu are both great sages who move the world, especially Zhuangzi, this is a great sage who was ready to entrust the state affairs to King Wei first, so Doctor Shangguan agreed with joy and anxiety.

After taking care of the prince's affairs, Xiong Huai summoned Qu Yuan.

After Qu Yuan arrived, Xiong Huai solemnly put a gold seal in his hand directly into Qu Yuan's hand, and then stared at Qu Yuan's eyes and said: "Xianqing, this golden seal is the Xiangyang City Guard Seal specially customized by the widow, with this token, all the internal affairs in Xiangyang City, Qing can decide for himself, unless the widow personally orders, otherwise, even if Ling Yin orders, Qing does not need to listen to the order." ”

"The strong men of Xiangyang City who built the city, the widows have been prepared for the Qing, a total of 50,000 strong men, 30,000 people, and 20,000 people. In addition, the widow has already prepared 300,000 stone of grain in Beijinshu, and Qing can call it directly. The next thing, the widow is all entrusted to Xianqing, I wonder if Xianqing is ready? ”

Qu Yuan took the golden seal and bowed: "The minister will never give up!" ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said: "Qu Yuan has made a meritorious contribution to the flour, and the widow is very happy, and Qu Yuan is specially promoted to be the guard of Xiangyang, and he is fully responsible for the construction of the city in Xiangyang." ”

"The minister commands." Qu Yuan bowed three times, and then took the golden seal and went straight out of the palace.

Qu Yuan went to Xiangyang, building a city is only a secondary purpose, the main purpose is two, one is to abolish the difference between the country and the field in disguise, the other is to open up the country, divide the land, recognize the private ownership of the land, the ultimate goal is to tax the private land of the feudal nobles, and attract those who have fled to integrate into the big family of the Chu State.

If you don't do this, you will always let the private land of those nobles and feudal lords of Chu State wander outside the power of the King of Chu, occupying a large amount of manpower, the overall strength of Chu State, ten pavilions can only play seven pavilions, or maybe only five pavilions, Xiong Huai doesn't know how many private subordinates those nobles have.

There is an even more troublesome thing, that is, the land of Chu is too big, God knows how many people hid in the mountains and valleys, and since then they have lived a hermit life, hermits are not terrible, what is terrible is that they will not pay taxes and serve servitude.

For these two situations, it is simply unbearable.

Xiong Huai sighed, the strength of the nobles of the Chu State is still too strong, otherwise it is so troublesome to belittle Qu Yuan first and then be promoted.

However, if you don't do this, you will directly let Qu Yuan change to Xiangyang Shou as a doctor in Sanlu, and with the strength of the ministers of Chu State, not to mention changing the law, I am afraid that even Xiangyang City will not be able to be built.

The promotion of Qu Yuan by the king of Chu to Xiangyang guard soon spread throughout Yingdu.

That night.

On the state marquis' mansion.

The Marquis of the State took the bun in his hand and said to Pan Jun An Lingjun: "Pan Jun, An Lingjun, I don't know how the buns in the Marquis's Mansion are compared to the buns in the Great Palace." ”

The state marquis was an important minister when King Xuan of Chu, a feudal marquis, without a fief, and had always lived in Yingdu.

Pan Jun took a sip and said with a smile: "The chef in the Zhou Hou Mansion is not inferior to the cook in the Great Palace, this bun is not inferior to yesterday's palace." ”

Pan Jun, like Xiang Chengjun, had a fief on his ancestors, but later the Chu forces retreated south, and the fief was captured by the Three Jin Dynasty, and he also lived in Yingdu.

An Lingjun nodded and said, "What Pan Jun said is exact. ”

An Lingjun is also a feudal monarch during the period of King Xuan of Chu, but because the first An Lingjun was a first-class beautiful man, serving King Xuan in Israel, he only had a title and no fief.

Hearing this, the governor let out a long sigh.

An Lingjun asked suspiciously: "Why is the state marquis sighing, is there anything not satisfied with eating such a delicacy?" ”

Pan Jun also looked at the state marquis.

Zhou Hou said: "Ben Hou eats rare delicacies in the world, and embraces rare beauties in the world, what is not satisfied." It's just that, as the saying goes: people have no long-term worries, and the reason why Ben Hou sighed was because he was worried that my son would not only not be able to eat steamed buns in the future, but I was afraid that he would not even be able to eat barbecue. ”

"This..." An Lingjun and Pan Jun looked at each other, happy, why did they suddenly talk about such a heavy topic.

The state marquis said to himself: "Today, the king reappointed Qu Yuan as the Xiangyang guard, you all know about it. ”

Thinking of Qu Yuan, An Lingjun and Pan Jun nodded with heavy faces.

Qu Yuan's second and absolute success made many nobles very passive and excited.

The Marquis of Zhou and An Lingjun are now the second generation, and the fief of Pan Junzu's ancestor Shangpushui has been occupied by the Wei State for almost a hundred years, and the capital of Yingdu is almost the fifth.

Zhou Hou said: "Since the last time the ministers expelled Qu Yuan because of the flour matter, to today, in less than two months, Qu Yuan has been reinstated, it can be seen that the king loves Qu Yuan very much!" ”

An Lingjun sighed: "The marquis of the state is worried that the king is still not giving up, and he is still thinking about changing the law, and wants to refuse to give us a fortune!" ”

Pan Jun hesitated: "Now that the king has no tendency to change the law, is the state marquis too worried!" ”

The Marquis shook his head and said: "Qu Yuan, who presided over the change, has always been favored by the king, Tang Yu, who supports the change, has always held the military power of Guangling, and Ling Yin Jingli, who opposes the change, has been coldly treated by the king, and the king has promoted Chen Zhengong Sun Yan and Ji Ya three people in the past year. ”

"These three people have no foundation in the state of Chu, and can only be loyal to the king. And today Ling Yin proposed to establish wings for the crown prince, but the king wanted to hire the great sage from abroad, and the arrival of every outsider will increase the strength of the king and weaken our strength. ”

"What's more, now the king is very short of money."
