On the way here, Jing Cui had already thought about this matter clearly, and it was not a matter at all that there were only five feudal monarchs.

At this moment, when he heard the question of the king of Chu, he immediately responded: "The king, Xijun and the other five people were originally waiting for sin, as a feudal king, without the edict of the king, they returned to the fiefdom without authorization, which is like a conspiracy, and they should be exterminated!" ”

"Okay, Ling Yin's words have won the hearts of widows." Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Jingcui and the others and asked, "It's just that the widow is worried that Xijun and the others will resist stubbornly, I don't know which virtuous Qing is willing to arrest them?" ”

When the three of Jingcui saw King Chu coming over, they immediately surrendered their hands and asked, "The minister is willing to go." ”

Seeing this, Xiong Huai groaned for a while, and said, "Ling Yin, as the head of a hundred officials, can't leave the capital easily. On the Song side, the matter is still decided, and the widow is worried that the east will make waves again, and the Zhu State needs to be in charge of the country. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Gongsun Yan and said: "Therefore, please ask the rhino head to take a trip to this matter, lead the troops to exterminate Xijun and the other five families, and arrest them and the whole clan will be punished." ”

"Yui."

Then, Xiong Huai's face turned upright, and he said solemnly: "Ling Yin, Xijun and others fornicated with the enemy country first, and then absconded in fear of crime, which is really too much of a bully." Zuo Tu said that the power of the local ministers was so heavy that the ministers were unruly and did not take the widow seriously. The widow thinks so. Therefore, the widow intended to adopt the advice of the leftists and limit the power of the local ministers. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at the three of them and asked, "I don't know what Zhu Qing thinks?" ”

When Jing Cui and Zhao Ju heard this, their hearts sank.

Not long ago, when they went to the court, they learned that at this time, now, it was not long before the king of Chu officially raised the matter again, and they were completely unprepared.

At this time, Zhao Ju's eyes glanced at Qu Yuan on the side, and he already smelled a strange atmosphere in his heart.

Last time, Qu Yuan presided over the reform of the law, but under the opposition of the ministers, he finally fell short.

After more than ten years, this time Qu Yuan served as a leftist disciple again, did he plan to set off a change in the Chu State again?

Perhaps this weakening of the power of the local ministers is just the beginning, once the local power is withdrawn, at that time, if the king of Chu fully supports it, I am afraid that Qu Yuan will forcibly promote the change.

It's just...

What Zhao Ju wondered in his heart was, how high was the probability of success in this change?

Is it the same as last time, unprepared, rash action, and finally besieged by a group and failed.

And most importantly!

Zhao Ju blinked his eyes and glanced at King Chu, how determined was King Chu?

If the king is the same as last time, under the pressure of the ministers, he transfers Tang Yu and alienates Qu Yuan, and if it is over, it will be a pit.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that Jingcui and the three of them were all silent, so he named and said, "Ling Yin, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Jing Cui muttered: "King, the county system of Chu has been in charge of the county system for three or four hundred years, and for such a long time, it has always been the county Yin's director, and rashly changing this law will cause chaos in the country, and the ministers are suspicious, so this matter is a little inappropriate, and it needs to be carefully considered." ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he immediately spoke: "Ling Yin's words are wrong! For more than 700 years, I have been in the state of Chu for more than 700 years, and I have always followed the Zhou system and governed the place by the doctor. Until more than 300 years ago, King Wen changed the previous law and set up counties in Shenxi and Xi, and the county Yin system was used to make it more than 300 years ago.

In the past, King Wen changed the Zhou system, although there was some chaos in the country in a short period of time, but, a few years later, Shenxi and other places stabilized, and the land of Shenxi provided a large number of elite divisions for my Chu State. ”

Saying that, Qu Yuan arched his hand to the King of Chu and said: "Great King, it can be seen that the law of County Yin is not the law of my Chu State since ancient times, but the law of King Wen.

Now, 300 years later, the counties that were originally on the border, such as Shenxi and Xiliang (Shendi is near Wancheng and Xidi is in Caidinan), have changed from border centers to places where I am confidant. The county governor has no threat from external enemies, controls all the power in the county, takes what the people in the county want, and disobeys the king.

This time, in the face of the attack of the Qin and Han coalition forces, the counties showed their loyalty to the king on the one hand, and had fornication with the Qin State on the other, which is a clear proof. It is no longer appropriate to continue to let the county Yin be in charge of all major affairs in the county. Moreover, manpower is sometimes poor, and not everyone is proficient in military and political affairs at the same time.

Moreover, in the past, in the land of a county, the people were mostly gathered in the city, and the people in the county were scarce, so the county Yin alone could handle the affairs of the county. But now it is not the case, the number of people in a county, compared with the time of King Wen, the number of people has increased by more than ten times, and it is difficult to deal with the affairs of the whole county with only the county Yin.

Therefore, the minister thought that the county Yin system had reached the time to change. ”

Saying that, Qu Yuan bowed and said: "Please add county lieutenants and assistants to each county in each county, with the county Yin as the chief and others as the auxiliary, to jointly govern a county." ”

At this moment, Jing Cui looked at Qu Yuan, who was gushing endlessly, and was suddenly dumbfounded.

From the time he followed the former king in his early years, he has been leading troops in the army, from fighting under King Wei and Zhaoyang's tent to leading the troops himself, either attacking other countries or being beaten by other countries. In the past few decades, he has been leading troops to fight, and has always intervened very little in local government affairs and even in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he also knows very little.

Maybe when he was young, he learned how to govern the place, but after decades, the teacher who taught him has long since turned to ashes, and now he doesn't know how to govern the place.

As a result, now, he only said one or two sentences, which led to Qu Yuan's tirade.

What's even more worrying is that he can't refute it.

At this time, Jing Cui opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Xiong Huai saw that after Qu Yuan bowed down, Jing Cui didn't speak, so he nodded, no matter if Jing Cui was ten times convinced, or he was poor in reasoning, anyway, Ling Yin didn't object.

Besides, Xiong Huai nodded approvingly when he heard what Qu Yuan said.

Now the county Yin is indeed unable to handle the affairs of the county alone.

Although the counties of Chu State do not yet have the official position of county lieutenant, there is already a similar division of positions in each county, and a special person is responsible for special affairs. And most of these people are served by the county Yin's doormen. Before the county governor took office, he prepared all the subordinate officials, and as soon as he took office, he let these people take over the affairs of the county. When he leaves, he will take all the guests with him.

In this way, a serious drawback has been formed, that is, every time a new county Yin takes office, because of the unfamiliarity with affairs, there is a temporary chaos in the county.

It wasn't until the county Yin and the doormen became familiar with the affairs of the county that they stabilized.

In the northern countries, especially the Qin State, as early as the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the law of subordinate officials was established. Among them, the three most important positions of county commander, county commander, and county lieutenant were all appointed by the monarch himself.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai turned his head to Zhao Ju and asked, "Zhuguo, I don't know what Qing wants?" ”
