On the other side, Qu Yuan heard King Chu's inquiry and did not answer immediately, because he was also in trouble at the moment.

Sun Yun's betrayal directly exposed the problems that the new faction and the old faction had been avoiding in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, and completely bankrupted the peaceful atmosphere that the two factions had been trying to maintain, and from then on, the two factions may no longer be able to live in peace.

Before, the reason why Qu Yuan was seeking steady progress and unwilling to completely tear his face was because the strength of the new law was insufficient and the strength of the nobles was strong. However, now, four years after the implementation of the new law, the reformers not only control the vast majority of the counties in the country, but the new law has also weakened the strength of the nobles to a certain extent, and greatly strengthened the power of the imperial court, the power of the new law faction.

If there is a complete break with the old faction now, as long as the king of Chu can continue to support it and have great righteousness in hand, then the new law faction will have a six-tier chance of victory. Even, if the countries do not intervene or intervene, then the chances of the new law school reaching eighty percent.

And the reason why he maintained a peaceful coexistence with the old faction was for two reasons, one was to increase the strength of the new law faction as much as possible, so as to preserve the vitality of the Chu State, so that the Chu State could devote itself to foreign conquest as soon as possible after the successful reform of the law. Rather than having Yin Zixi assist the former king Zhao and Wu Qi to change the law, the state and the aristocracy were weakened at the same time, so that it took decades for the state of Chu to recover.

And the other reason is that in order to attack the Qi State, now it is before the Chu State invades the Qi State, and the entire country is still needed to attack the Qi State, destroy the Qi State in one fell swoop, or hit the Qi State as hard as possible, and eliminate the threat of the Chu State in the northeast, just like the Shang Dynasty hit the Wei State hard, so that the Qi State is no longer a threat to the Chu State.

But now, such a plan of steady progress step by step was ruined because of Sun Yun's words.

If this opening is opened, there will be no return to the previous state.

He could basically predict that in the future, the old nobles would no longer put their hopes on the age of King Chu, but would definitely do their best to hinder the new law. It is possible that the old aristocracy will encourage the prince Heng in the same way that the prince of Qin Xiaogong was agitated when Shang Ying changed the law, and let the prince stand on the opposite side of the new law.

Even, it is possible that the nobles of the Chu State, who are extremely powerful, will once again follow the example of Wu Qi when he changed the law, just like instigating the first king Su Wang, to incite the prince to rebel.

At this time, Qu Yuan took a long breath, he knew that since he had torn his face with the old nobles, at this moment, he could no longer retreat and compromise, because retreating and compromising would not only not continue to stabilize those nobles, but also allow the people on his side to be centrifuged.

However, it is also impossible to completely tear up the face with the old ministers immediately, let alone debate with the ministers on the spot whether to withdraw the fiefs of more than three generations of nobles in the country, so as to avoid further intensifying the conflict.

Because the new law faction is not ready now, and the other presiding officer of the new law faction, Zhu Guo Tang Wu, is still in the military camp outside the city, and has not discussed here. Also, the big Si Nong Chen Xiang, the Taifu Yin Jin Juntong, and the Si defeated Sima Jian are not in the court.

Coupled with Sun Yun's betrayal...

At this time, to debate with a large number of conservative ministers will give people with ulterior motives a chance.

Thinking about it, Qu Yuan pondered for a while, and then replied with a straight face: "Great King, the first king once made a covenant with the monarchs, the Ze of the Gentleman, and the third generation was beheaded, this is the law of my Chu State."

However, this law was never enforced from the beginning, and the nobility of the country was inherited for 300 years, and few lost their fiefs because of this law.

Therefore, the minister thinks that the law should be enforced, but how to enforce this law still needs to be widely listened to. At the very least, the implementation of this law requires not only the king to consult with the princes of the court, but also to listen to the opinions of the nobles in various places who are closely related to this law. ”

After that, Qu Yuan arched his hand and said: "The minister asks the king to immediately issue an edict to invite the feudal monarchs from all over the country to come to Shouying to discuss how to implement this law of the third emperor of the gentleman." ”

"Delaying the army!" As soon as Qu Yuan's voice fell, Qu Yuan and other ministers who were attached to Qu Yuan immediately reacted.

The purpose of inviting the feudal monarchs from all over the country to join the court was not to discuss with the feudal monarchs from all over the country, but to gain time to find out who was secretly calculating the new law this time, and trying to provoke contradictions between the new law faction and the old ministers.

As for the consultation with the nobles everywhere, this was not a problem at all.

As long as there is the support of the king of Chu, even if there are many nobles in various places, it is meaningless.

Whether it was the Li Kui reform of Wei, or the Shang Ying reform of Qin, or even the Wu Qi reform of Chu, they were all forcibly promoted in the tide of opposition and with the support of the king.

Therefore, as long as Shou Ying is not lost, as long as the King of Chu is still there, the new law sect will not be afraid of any challenge.

Thinking about it, Qu Yuan immediately spoke after Qu Yuan's voice fell: "Great King, the minister thinks that what Zuo Tu said is extremely true, to enforce a law that has never been implemented before, it is better to listen to the opinions of all parties than to listen to a wide range of opinions, so as to ensure that the law will not be biased. ”

As soon as Qu Shu spoke, the other ministers of the New Law School chimed in: "The king, Zuo's words are reasonable, and the feudal monarchs from all over the country should be invited to come to Shouying to discuss together. ”

At this time, Jing Que saw that the people of the new law faction spoke one after another, and he was also worried that Qu Yuan and others would encourage the king of Chu to enforce this law, and in the case that the countries had no time to take care of the state of Chu, once the king of Chu issued an edict to forcibly promote this matter, then there was a chance that they would become the fish and meat of the new law.

And if you invite the feudal monarchs from all over the country to enter the court to discuss, perhaps, in the wave of opposition from a large number of feudal monarchs, maybe the king of Chu will also take care of one or two.

Of course, Qu Yuan's remarks, as well as the scene of the previous ministers of the New Law School, Bei Qunchen, spraying out the army, are also reminding Jing Que that Sun Yun's remarks just now may not be from the original intention of the New Law School.

Sun Yun's remarks are very likely that someone is calculating the Chu State, this person may be someone within the Chu State, or it may be the Qi State that is gradually entering the predicament, and even, it is not ruled out that people within the Chu State are colluding with the Qi State.

As soon as he thought of this, Jing Que was sure in his heart, and immediately arched his hand and said: "King, Zuo's words are reasonable, and he should invite the feudal monarchs from all over the country to enter the court to discuss." ”

As soon as Jing Que opened his mouth, the old ministers echoed one after another: "King, Zuo's words are reasonable..."

After the conservative minister agreed, the neutral minister immediately followed up: "King, the left disciple is reasonable..."

As the ministers in the palace spoke one after another, this time, Qu Yuan's suggestion was unprecedentedly approved by the majority of ministers.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai replied expressionlessly: "Good, since all the secretaries have this intention, then..."

"Spread the edict, please invite the feudal monarchs from all over the country to enter the court for deliberations, the deadline is two months, the feudal monarchs from all over the country must arrive in Shouying, and those who fail to do so within the time limit will be punished for the crime of treason."

······

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the content of today's court discussion was transmitted to Shouchun City, which immediately caused a sensation in Shouchun City.

Immediately afterwards, the ministers of the next dynasty, as well as the aristocratic ministers who were not qualified to participate, gathered in their respective leaders' mansions.

For a time, the prince's mansion, Ling Yin Zhaoju's mansion, Zhuguo's Tang Yu mansion, Zuotu Qu Yuan's mansion, Sima Jingque's mansion, and Xianyin Fanhuan's mansion were all in the city, and they were all talking about the third emperor of the gentleman.

In the afternoon of the same day, the prince sent out an invitation to the ministers to hold a banquet at night.

That night, among Shouying, more than half of the middle and high-level ministers gathered in the prince's mansion.

This night, Prince Heng's influence swelled instantly, and his power also surpassed that of Ling Yin Zhaoju and Zuotu Qu Yuan, and was even stronger than the combined forces of the two.
