Chu Guoshou Ying.

In the face of the persuasion of Qu Yong, the envoy of the Yan State, Xiong Huai groaned slightly, and then rejected the request of the Hezong Association to ally the Qi Dynasty.

There are three reasons for this, one is because Xiong Huai heard that the envoy of Yan was strongly resisted by Wei Xiangzhou in Wei, and Wei Wang Wei could not suppress Wei Xiangzhou, and Wei, a country located in the middle of the world that can attack everywhere, does not participate, and it is difficult to complete the alliance of Qi and Qi; the second is because the Qin State has not yet expressed its position; The third is because the prestige of King Yan is insufficient, it is difficult to call on all countries, and even, even if Yan Kingdom reluctantly gathers countries, all countries will not go all out in the face of King Yan, because countries really can't afford to lose this person.

The refusal of the king of Chu not only disappointed Qu Yong, the envoy of the Yan State, but also greatly disappointed the crown prince.

Then, two disappointed people walked together.

On the day Qu Yong left Shouchun City, Prince Heng personally went to see him off, and he didn't stop until he was ten miles away.

Three days later, Yingdu Shoujing encountered difficulties in the Shangshu River Han Canal in Jingyang, and asked the imperial court to send an official who was proficient in water conservancy to solve the problem.

So, after discussing with Zhao Ju and others, Prince Heng decided to let Dasi Nong Chen Xiang go to Yingdu.

Five days later.

Shangyong County Shouhuang Chi wrote a letter pleading guilty, saying that a group of thieves were rampant in Shangyong, and forcibly killed Fang County Yin, County Lieutenant and hundreds of people in Fang County.

The prince was furious when he received the petition, and immediately asked for the dismissal of Shangyong County Shou Huangchi, and recommended his staff Taixue Daxian Deng's apprentice to serve as Shangyong County Guard, and also asked to send Sima Jian to Shangyong to arrest the thief.

Xiong Huai Xu Zhi.

With the departure of Taifu Yin Jin Juntong, Dasi Nong Chen Xiang, and Si Defeated Sima Jian from Shouying one after another, half of the important ministers loyal to the King of Chu in the court were missing.

At this point, the power of the crown prince in the court suddenly reached a fixed point, and it was difficult for even Yin Zhaoju and Zuotu Qu Yuan to compete.

As a result, the crown prince took advantage of this opportunity to frequently plant people in Shouchun City and the counties near Shouying.

And this time, the crown prince's actions finally aroused the vigilance and worry of the important ministers in the court.

Just when Prince Heng's power was expanding rapidly in Shouying and the surrounding areas, the time had once again come to the day of the great court meeting of the Chu State.

On this day, the great dynasty of Chu and the ministers rarely saw the king of Chu again.

During the court meeting, the crown prince Heng led the report on the state of Chu in the previous month, and then ordered Yin Zhaoju and Zuotu Qu Yuan to report on the situation of Shouying and various counties respectively.

At this point, everything is as rehearsed, unremarkable, and light as water.

After Xiong Huai heard the report of the three of them, he said with a smile: "The country is stable and peaceful, the ministers are diligent in state affairs, the people perform their duties, and the widows can rule by hanging the arch. ”

After praising the prince and the others, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and asked routinely, "Do you have anything else to report to the widow?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other, but no one came forward.

Just when the ministers were silent, just as Xiong Huai was about to end the court meeting, suddenly, a voice sounded from the ministers:

"The king, the minister has something to report!"

"Huh?" Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw the next doctor Sun Yun get up from the seat, and then came to the middle of the hall.

Sun Yun is also a member of the clan, but the bloodline has been very estranged, and he has fallen into the middle of the family, before Qu Yuan presided over the law change, a large number of marginal nobles who were dissatisfied with the status quo of Chu State have thrown themselves into Qu Yuan's command, striving to change the law and change the status quo of cronyism in Chu State.

Sun Yun was one of these nobles, and later because of his talent, he was promoted by Qu Yuan to a doctor.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw Sun Yun coming out, thinking that Qu Yuan wanted to say something, but it was inconvenient for him to bring it up, so he asked Sun Yun to act as a mouthpiece.

So, Xiong Huai couldn't help but look at Qu Yuan curiously, but saw that Qu Yuan had a hesitant look on his face.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai's heart moved, knowing that today's court meeting was probably going to surprise most ministers.

On the other side, after Sun Yun came to the palace, he said loudly: "Great king, in the past, the first kings made a covenant with the kings, tearing the earth and sealing the king, so as to screen the king. However, in order to learn the lessons of the Zhou family, the first king swore an oath with the monarchs, allowing the monarchs to inherit the three generations and then take back the fief.

However, in the past three hundred years, there have been many feudal monarchs in our Chu State, but very few have recovered their fiefs. So that three hundred years ago, there were less than one palm of the number of feudal monarchs, and now there are more than one hundred and seventy..."

At this time, Sun Yun had not finished speaking, but the ministers in the palace all knew what he was going to say.

As a result, the ministers in the palace, whether they were the law changers, the old nobles, or the neutral faction, all stared at Sun Yun deadly.

And Sun Yun was a little nervous under the gaze of the ministers, and even cold sweat couldn't stop pouring outward, but he still forcibly calmed down and said loudly: "Great King, now there are more than 170 feudal monarchs in my Chu State, all over the country, and they occupy almost half of the fertile land in the country.

There are too many feudal kings and too many ministers, which has always been the root cause of the weakness of our Chu State, and it is also the root cause of our Chu State being bullied by all countries.

Therefore, for the state of Chu, for the society, for the thousand autumns, for the hundred generations, the minister asked the king to accept the fief of the feudal monarch who has been inherited for more than three generations in accordance with the agreement between the previous king and the monarchs. ”

As soon as these words fell, they immediately exploded all the ministers in the palace.

At this time, Zhao Ju first glanced at Qu Yuan in shock, and then saw Qu Yuan looking at Sun Yun in shock and anger. Seeing this, Zhao Ju was stunned, and then quickly glanced at the king of Chu, and then, he glanced at the prince again, when he saw the prince sitting there with a blank face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then closed his eyes and sat motionless on the seat.

And Jing Que on Zhao Ju's side, his eyes had already directly revealed the murderous intention, and he swept back and forth on Qu Yuan and Sun Yun with a murderous gaze.

Originally, he still had many nobles who opposed the new law, and the reason why he did not directly oppose the new law after Akitsune's death was because they knew that the new law could not be completed overnight.

Moreover, the step-by-step progress of the new law before it was carried out slowly also made most of the nobles feel at ease.

Because everyone thinks that with the progress of the new law and the age of the King of Chu, everyone has to wait.

But now, without warning, the New Law Sect is suddenly going to attack all the nobles.

None of them expected that the New Law Sect would suddenly come to such a hand in today's court meeting.

However, since the New Law Sect had already made a move, and was ready to force them to death, they could only resist desperately.

As soon as he thought of this, Jing Que immediately said loudly: "Great King, the minister thinks that Dr. Sun's words are absurd, and the feudal monarchs in various places are not only the foundation of my Chu State's rapid consolidation of rule, but also the cornerstone of my Chu State's strength, and it is by no means a moth of the country in Dr. Sun's mouth."

If the feudal monarchs in the country are all moths of the country and the root of the country's weakness, then how can the king dominate the world for decades, and why does my Chu country become the most powerful country in the world.

If the feudal monarchs are all moths of the country, then where are the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and where are the officials of various places. ”

Jing Que questioned loudly, and then bowed his hand and said: "King, Sun Yun is a person who is deceiving the public with his evil words and intending to subvert the country, and his crime should be punished." ”

As soon as Jing Que's voice fell, the ministers echoed one after another:

"King, Sun Yun Demon Man..."

"King, don't listen to the villain..."

"King, Sun Yun should be killed..."

"King, Sun Yun and his party have brought disaster to the country and the people..."

As the ministers attacked in droves, and soon expanded the target of the attack from Sun Yun to the new law, for a time the entire hall was full of condemnation of the new law.

In the face of the siege of the ministers, the members of the New Law faction were not well prepared, the second was that Qu Yuan, who presided over the reform, did not speak, and the third was that the important ministers who supported the new law were either absent or did not speak.

As a result, soon, the ministers of the New Law School, who were fighting separately, were sprayed to the ground in the wild spray of many ministers.

At this time, seeing that the new law sect was losing and retreating, Xiong Huai coughed lightly.

"Ahem~~"

Although Xiong Huai's voice was soft, the ministers who had been paying attention to the king of Chu saw the king of Chu move, and they all fell silent in an instant, and then thanked him and said: "The ministers have lost their manners, please apologize to the king." ”

Xiong Huai saw that he coughed lightly twice, and the hall instantly fell silent, and the whole hall was silent, so he nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Xiong Huai looked at Prince Heng, and groaned slightly in his heart, not giving Prince Heng a chance to speak.

So, Xiong Huai shifted his gaze to Qu Yuan and asked:

"Zuo disciple, I don't know what Qing thinks of Dr. Sun's words?"

As soon as the king of Chu spoke, all the ministers looked at Qu Yuan, and they were all silently preparing.

As long as Qu Yuan dares to open his mouth in favor, then the opponents are ready to open their mouths to spray Qu Yuan to death, while the reformers will fully support Qu Yuan and spray the opposition to death.
