Chapter 164: Central Place

The greasy in it is too obvious, and it is completely trying to cover up.

Clear-eyed people don't believe it, let alone other people who have a heart.

With this limited information alone, Xiong Huai could also think with his feet that Xiang Chengjun must have died unexpectedly in the prince's mansion, and the prince must be responsible.

Maybe the pressure he put on the prince was too great, or maybe the pressure on the prince was too great, causing the prince to want to shirk his responsibilities, his head was hot, and he was impulsive, which made it difficult to clean up the matter.

"King, now that the matter has come to this, we still need to think about how to deal with the aftermath." Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu was silent for a long time, and reminded with a heavy face.

Xiong Huai sighed.

What the prince did undoubtedly had an extremely bad impact.

This matter alone makes Yin Jingli unable to deal with the aftermath, and he must come forward in person.

Thinking of the prince causing such a big trouble, Xiong Huai was big for a while.

If it's just accidental, or if you kill Xiang Chengjun, it's also a trivial matter, and it's a big deal to change Xiang Chengjun, and then seal it to see the world's leisurely mouth.

It's just that the matter of the prince destroying the prince and becoming a monarch is undoubtedly a great destruction of the rules, beating people to death, it is just a problem with personal style, but destroying the door is a big problem of trampling on principles.

The most important thing for the feudal monarch is undoubtedly his own inheritance, the prince kills people and exterminates the clan, such a brutal act will inevitably cause dissatisfaction and fear among the feudal monarchs everywhere.

The prince even said that Xiang Chengjun, who had just made a great contribution, would be extinguished, and the next time it might be so-and-so.

Xiong Huai is even more worried that Fengjun is likely to take the prince's attitude as his own.

If the feudal monarchs from all over the country unite to abolish the crown prince, there will be big trouble.

It was not easy for him to defeat the two countries of Qin and Qi, and to destroy the prestige that he had established by the monarch of the Ling, and he would definitely be ruined again.

And the crown prince can't fall now, those nobles of Chu State, the hope that they finally found, if they are killed by the feudal monarchs so easily, it is estimated that those nobles will collapse.

Let those nobles put their hopes on the crown prince, and then reduce the resistance to their own changes, which they finally came up with, and successfully diverted the attention of many people.

If the crown prince is deposed, where can he find another prince who is almost an adult, and buy time for himself to change the law?

The second son, Zilan, is about to go to Korea, and the youngest son is only five years old, and it is hard to imagine that those nobles will pin their hopes on the younger son.

So the prince has to be saved this time.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai said to Chen Zhen: "Xianqing, although the prince is not filial, but after all, he is the son of the widow and the queen, and now the prince Zilan is about to go to South Korea. ”

"How do I keep the crown prince?"

Chen Zhen has actually been thinking about this issue since he got the news.

As for the destruction of Xiangchengjun's family, what is the reason for it, and whether the prince is justified or not, it doesn't matter now.

The important thing is that the feudal monarchs in various places have a great possibility to take advantage of the prince's affairs to move back to the matter of which Lingjun was destroyed.

It is necessary not only to maintain the authority of the king of Chu, but also to satisfy the feudal kings everywhere.

Now we have to add the preservation of the crown prince.

If it is strong, the king of Chu does not need to ask.

Chen Zhen was silent for a long time, and then said: "King, Weichen is stupid. But Ling Yin Lao Cheng sought the country and sent the people and horses, I am afraid that they have already protected Xiang Chengjun's brother. As long as Xiang Chengjun still has heirs, then there is still room for negotiation in the matter of the prince. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, Jing Li and Chen Zhen meant to continue Xiangchengjun's title and fief again, as long as Xiangchengjun's fief is still there, then the prince's behavior of stepping on the line and crossing the line will become a personal contradiction between the prince and Xiangchengjun, and it is no longer a contradiction between the royal family and the feudal monarchs represented by the prince.

In this way, the feudal lords will be divided in half.

Chen Zhen paused, and then said: "King, it is also true that Xiangchengjun Sima took people to the prince's mansion to assassinate the prince, so it is reasonable for Tingli to send someone to Xiangchengjun's mansion to inquire, but after Tingli's people arrived at Xiangchengjun's mansion, they destroyed Xiangchengjun, which is Tingli's fault." ”

This is to alleviate the crown prince's guilt.

Xiong Huai hesitated slightly, not because he was unwilling to sacrifice Tingli, but because Tingli was not weighty enough when compared with the prince.

Maybe some more people have to be added!

Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, so he continued: "What Weichen means is to ask the king to return to Yingdu immediately, and then handle it impartially and severely punish the prince's mistakes." ”

Xiong Huai was taken aback, and then reacted, this is also a strategy of differentiation, separating himself from the prince and winning some people's hearts. And now the people who want to keep the crown prince the most, except for himself and the Southern Queen, the rest should be those nobles, especially those marginal nobles who are wandering in Yingdu.

Their energy is also not to be underestimated.

And now, in addition to the feudal monarchs between Jiang and Han who have already received news, the feudal monarchs of Jiangnan and Jianghuai may not have received news yet.

In other words, you have to start quickly this time, otherwise when the feudal lords from all over the country gather in Yingdu again, there will be some play.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai nodded and said, "The army will rush back to Yingdu early tomorrow morning, day and night." ”

Just when Xiong Huai rushed back to Yingdu day and night.

Jin Jun, Zhan Yangjun, and Yin Jun rushed to the Yiling Jun's mansion together.

"Rare guest, rare guest, how can Jin Jun and Zhan Yangjun have time to come to Benjun, do you three also want to learn the way of health preservation from the old man!" Yi Lingjun stood by the pond in the middle of the house, looking at the fish in the pond and spilling some food casually.

Jin Jun saw Yilingjun's leisurely appearance, and suddenly felt a little upset, and went straight to the topic: "I don't know about Xiangchengjun, has Yilingjun ever known?" ”

Yi Lingjun nodded and said, "I've heard a little about this. ”

Yin Jun said: "Yiling Jun, you are a highly respected elder among the feudal monarchs, and now that such an unfortunate thing has happened to Xiang Chengjun, we hope that you can uphold justice for Xiang Chengjun." ”

Yilingjun sprinkled some fish food again, and said with a smile that he didn't care: "The king is a wise king, and the king can see everything that has not yet arrived when the autumn monarch is recruited, and the matter of Xiangchengjun's rebellion is full of suspicions, how can the king turn a blind eye?" ”

"Besides, Xiang Chengjun has been loyal and good for several generations, and has made countless contributions to the Chu State, Xiang Chengjun is the king's confidant, how could the king ignore it after learning about it."

"So Xiang Chengjun's affairs, there is a king who administers justice for Xiang Chengjun, where can I worry about it."

Zhan Yangjun shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the king may not be able to uphold justice for Xiangchengjun, the prince is the eldest son of the king and the queen of the south, and now the Chu country has spread all over the country, the prince has just performed the crown ceremony, and the king began to teach the prince the way of governing the country, which shows that the prince is deeply loved by the king." ”

Although Xiang Chengjun said that he had meritorious service to the Chu State and was also the king's favorite general, compared with the crown prince, his status was inevitably insufficient. Benjun is worried that the king will be wronged for the sake of the crown prince. ”
