On the other side, after Zhong Lijun and others visited the ministers of the court to no avail, they gathered in Quyangjun's room again.

At this moment, Zhong Lijun had dissatisfaction on his face, and muttered angrily: "Damn, we recommended people with good character that day, but we communicated with them and obtained their understanding. As a result, now that the university factions have intervened, their position in the DPRK and China has been affected, and they have shifted all the blame to me and others.

Not only did they suspend their cooperation with us, but they also took the initiative to send the children of the clan to participate in the assessment to help the king strengthen his control over various places. ”

Xun Jun's face was also not good-looking at the moment, and he said with some complaint in his tone: "Shang Jun, I said at the beginning that it was too much, and everyone united to give the king back the color, there is no problem." However, if everyone recommends waste to the king, it will definitely cause the king's anger. The king's face is not good-looking, which makes Yin lose face, and it is not good for us.

Now that Yin Yi was furious, he made a big move, and various university factions participated in it, and even more than the nobles joined in. With these talents, the king can calmly arrange Ling Yin for me and others. If it's an ordinary person, it's just that, if it's an elite disciple of various university schools, they are much more difficult to deal with than the people we recommend ourselves. ”

As soon as Shang Jun heard Xun Jun's complaints, the irritability in his heart immediately turned into anger, and he said angrily: "Xun Jun, this time all over the country is virtuous, if we don't unite in tandem, how can we threaten the king, how can we express the dissatisfaction of all places like the king?"

Moreover, if some real talents are recommended to the king, then the king will adopt a divisive strategy, strike at those of us who do not recommend well, and then reward those who do not do well. In this way, won't we be divided by the king soon? At that point, how can all parts of the country be united? ”

"And!" Shang Jun swallowed his saliva: "In case someone really takes the opportunity to recommend Daxian and recommend people from the school to the king, intending to expand the influence of his own school." Once this person is approved by the king and obtains the status of the Mo family now, when the ministers in the court and the central government see that there is another school intervening in it and threatening their status, will they not resent us and others. ”

As he spoke, Shang Jun sighed.

The reason why all the university factions were able to gain a place to survive in the Chu State was that the numerous feudal monarchs of the Chu State were indispensable. There are more than 100 feudal monarchs in the Chu State, large and small, and their personal preferences are naturally different.

And the feudal lord has absolute authority over the fief, so he can naturally choose the doctrine he believes in to govern the fief. In this way, the hundreds of schools of thought can always find space to display their knowledge in the Chu State.

And among them, if there is a feudal monarch who has changed from a user of the doctrine to a believer in the doctrine, and he wants to strengthen his own doctrine on a whim, and wants to recommend the great sage of the territory to the king.

This consequence is absolutely disastrous for the feudal lords everywhere.

If you don't see it, even if the king appoints the sages of various families, he must be careful, lest he accidentally touch the nerves of the court's office.

It's like Chu Mo, who died generously for the Chu State, their leader, but he did a left job for several years under Zhaoyu's acceptance, and it was not until Zhaoyu died of illness that he became Gongyin's.

Thinking about it, Shang Jun shook his head and said, "It's okay now, the various university factions were introduced by Ling Yin on his own initiative, and they have nothing to do with us, and the princes of the court are only angry with us, not resentful." ”

At this time, Zhong Lijun spoke: "Shangjun, Xunjun, there is no need to talk about the previous things. Now, there are many talents in Yingdu Hotel, and there are plenty of talents in the hands of the king, how do we deal with it next. ”

"This..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room frowned.

Qu Yangjun looked at everyone, shook his head and said: "The current situation, it's better for us to wait for the feudal monarch, after all, the fief is still dominated by us, even if the king sends Ling Yin to come, Ling Yin is only a courtier, and we are the lord." Even if Ling Yin has the support of the king, as long as I don't give them much power, they are just a paper tiger and there is not much threat.

What I'm really worried about is where the counties are, but this time the king has so many talents and can enrich the counties. I'm afraid that in a few years, the county prince of my Chu State will become those county commanders of the Qin State, and his status will be greatly reduced, and his power will no longer be there. In this way, after the king completely controls the counties, and then the seal is started, at that time, there is no county Yin Ding in front, and we will face the pressure of the king, I am afraid that life will be difficult. ”

"What Qu Yangjun said is very true, and he also has this worry below." Shang Jun nodded, and then, with an ugly face, said: "Moreover, the people who participated in the assessment this time also have a large number of noble children, and there are princes in the court and the central government behind the scenes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the county Yin to resist."

It is probably a foregone conclusion that the king will send officials from each county to strengthen his control over each county. ”

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

Compared with the county Yin, what is really counted is just one more inheritance, and the power is not much greater than the county Yin, if the county Yin can't resist the king, then what about themselves?

Thinking about it, a sad feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox was born leisurely.

Just when everyone sighed for a long time, a guest of Quyang Jun suddenly said urgently: "Your Majesty, there was news from the palace not long ago. ”

Qu Yangjun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the king issued an edict yesterday to leave all the feudal monarchs from all over the country, and after waiting for the assessment results to come out, he returned to the fiefdom with Ling Yin, who went to take office.

Thinking of the inexplicable edict of the king, Qu Yangjun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Did the king keep them because he had something else to do with them?

Thinking about it, Qu Yangjun's face changed slightly, and then he hurriedly said, "Come in and talk!" ”

"No."

Then, after the guests came in, they hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace, not long ago, the king of Yiling entered the palace to ask to see the king, and in the name of the country's virtuous people, he recommended all the Lingyin and Sima of Yiling to the king.

Now, the king has issued an edict to officially recruit Yiling and order Yin Sima to come to Yingdu to participate in the assessment and appoint him at his discretion. ”

Xun Jun asked in surprise when he heard this: "What is the purpose of this Yiling Jun, hasn't he already recommended one person before, how can he still recommend people, not only two people at once, but also Ling Yin and Sima who recommended himself, is he crazy?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Shang Jun pondered for a while, thought of a possibility, his face changed suddenly, and then sat on his feet, muttering with a bloodless face: "Good calculation, that day, the king issued an edict to abolish the prince, and another talented person was selected to succeed the position of the feudal monarch in various places." At that time, we thought that the king just wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen the control of the feudal lords in Jianghan, but I didn't want to, the king even wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out all of us who stayed out of the matter. ”
