Zhao Ju was cautious when he heard this, and he also knew the inside story of what Qu Yuan said.

But the position of county Yin is not held by members of the royal family, or by the big nobles in the country, and their energy is also very great. What's more, this time Qu Yuan not only wants to take back the rights of the county Yin, but also wants to fight for power from the hands of the feudal monarch.

This is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you will never recover.

But!

Zhao Ju looked at the King of Chu and Qu Yuan again, if the king really decided to change the law in the country, then he spoke out against it, which would also dislike the king of Chu, and he stood on the opposite side of the king of Chu and the change.

This is also dangerous.

Zhao Ju remembered the change in the Qin State decades ago, when the aristocratic forces in the country were already extremely weak, they were still met with extremely fierce opposition.

For this reason, Shang Ying slaughtered on a large scale, and Weishui was red twice. First said that a group of people who were not good at changing the law were killed, and later said that a group of people who were good at changing the law were also killed, and the entire Qin State was stunned.

Thinking of the situation in the past two days, the blood-stained Yingdu!

Now, the state of Chu has not officially begun to change the law, and a large number of county Yin Fengjun have shed blood for it.

However, Zhao Ju knew very well in his heart that this was only the beginning, and in the near future, whether it was three years, or five years, or ten years, there would still be bloodshed, and it might not be just bloodshed once.

Which side will win the final victory in the future, Zhao Ju has no bottom in his heart.

Once he stands on the wrong team, everything he has now will be in vain, and he will lose his life.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that Zhao Ju had not responded for a long time, and saw the sweat on Zhao Ju's head, as if he was thinking fiercely in his heart.

After waiting for a while, he said with a smile: "Zhuguo, today's Xianqing is very different from the past!" In the past, Xianqing was quick in thinking and answered the stream, why is he so entangled today and has not been able to make a decision? ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he immediately knew that the king of Chu was already impatient, and he had to express his position.

We must unswervingly stand with the king of Chu, or take a clear stand against this matter.

With his current position, as well as his relationship with the king of Chu, he simply cannot remain neutral.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju immediately responded: "King, this matter is the great change in my Chu country in the past hundred years, and it is related to the national fortune of my Chu country in the next few hundred years, and the minister does not dare to answer easily, so as not to mislead the country and himself." ”

As soon as Xiong Huai heard the words of misleading the country and himself, he knew that Zhao Ju's sense of smell was indeed extraordinary, and he had already smelled the breath of great changes from the events of the past two days.

Regarding Zhao Ju's temptation, Xiong Huai directly gave a positive answer.

So, he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this matter really needs to be carefully considered!" ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai stopped urging.

When Zhao Ju heard this, he had a bottom in his heart and nodded slowly.

Over the years, the King of Chu's mind has become deeper and more elusive.

Previously, in order to destroy the Yue Kingdom, he endured for more than ten years, and he also prepared for more than ten years, and then he was sure to hit with one blow, and the Yue Kingdom died in a battle.

Obviously, this time the King of Chu really decided to change the law again, and he must have been preparing for a long time, and now, he is already on the string, or the arrow has left the string, and it is extremely unwise to rashly stand opposite the King of Chu.

Of course, this time the king of Chu targeted the locality and did not have much to do with them, the ministers in the court.

Moreover, strengthening the imperial court's control over the localities will only benefit them, not harm.

However, if you stand on the side of the King of Chu, then the rest is how the King of Chu is prepared.

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju immediately asked: "Great King, if you set up county Yin subordinates in various places, then you will inevitably need a large number of personnel, I don't know where these people come from?" ”

Xiong Huai glanced at Zhao Ju, this is indeed a problem.

Although there are many nobles in the Chu State, the number of officials who have increased several times at once is still insufficient.

However, he has already had a solution to this problem. So, he slowly spoke: "Regarding the issue of officials, this is very easy to do, you can select some talents in the court to serve abroad, and in addition, you can also ask the county Yin and county guards to recommend talents." The widow will issue an edict and order all localities to recommend one person to Yingdu this year, and then the widow will personally assess these people and use them according to their merits. ”

"And!" Xiong Huai paused, and said: "If the officials are still insufficient, then the widow will evaluate all the students in Taixue." Whether it is a talent recommended by various places or a student of Taixue, as long as he passes the assessment, if he is talented, he will never be stingy with his official position, even if he is the head of a county, it is not impossible. ”

After everyone heard what King Chu said, they all nodded, and they were not surprised.

Recommendation or recommendation is very popular in various countries and even in Chu State, and in Qi State, as early as the time of Guan Zhong, the recommendation and assessment system has already begun. The Chun Yu and Zou Ji of the Qi State are famous for their virtuous talents.

Now Gan Mao of Qin State was recommended by Zhang Yi, and Chen Zhen of Chu State was also recommended to the King of Chu by Zhaoyang.

Although this is normal, this kind of thing that the governor of each place must recommend one person has never happened in any country.

At this time, only Jing Cui's face was a little abnormal.

After all, it is Ling Yin's duty to promote virtue and use energy, but now he wants the king of Chu to edict that all local governors are virtuous for the country, and in a way, this is also his dereliction of duty as Ling Yin. However, Ling Yin is the great sage of the country, and Jing Cui doesn't have so many people in this place, and he can't pull down this kind of face.

I can't say to so-and-so, this order Yin sees that you are good, and decides to recommend you to be a subordinate official of Yin in a certain county.

This is not only humiliating others, but also humiliating Jingcui herself.

At this time, Zhao Ju saw that Jing Cui did not speak, and immediately responded: "The king is wise, if you rely on this method, you can indeed quickly solve the problem of insufficient officials." ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju asked cautiously: "The king, I don't know where the feudal kings are in various places, and how the king is going to deal with it." ”

Xiong Huai looked heavy when he heard this.

Fengjun is not as good as county Yin, even if county Yin is not guilty, as the king of Chu, he can directly transfer county Yin away.

But the feudal monarch can't do it, just like this time, even if the feudal monarch commits a capital crime, the king of Chu can execute him, and it is difficult to meddle in the affairs of the feudal monarch's fiefdom.

At this time, Qu Yuan saw that the King of Chu did not speak, and he had already communicated with the King of Chu, so he immediately spoke: "Great King, this time there are a large number of feudal kings who have fornicated with pseudo-kings, all because of the estrangement between the feudal monarch and the king. Therefore, the minister thought that in order to strengthen the relationship between the king and the feudal lords in various places, it was reasonable to send the great sages to serve as the commander Yin, so as to assist the feudal monarchs in various places, so that the people everywhere could also bathe in the favor of the king. ”

"Ling Yin!" Zhao Ju muttered, and at the same time his heart was relieved, but also his heart was tight.

Fortunately, the king of Chu still retained his sanity, and did not carry out drastic reforms on the fiefs like the counties, otherwise, it would inevitably arouse fierce resistance from the feudal lords in various places.

However, Ling Yin's position can not only handle government affairs, but also have the power to command the army when necessary, which can be said to be the most important official position.

Originally, Zhao Ju thought that the King of Chu would arrange a position like Taifu, but he didn't want to be Ling Yin.

What if the feudal lords don't want to?

Thinking about it, Zhao Ju asked, "King, does this matter need to be discussed with the feudal monarchs?" ”
