As soon as Xiong Huai's voice fell, Jing Li, who had been watching the statement of the feudal monarch on the sidelines, heard that the king of Chu had the idea of sticking to Huaibei in his heart, and suddenly felt anxious, and immediately opened his mouth to dissuade: "King, the march and battle must first be undefeated, and then seek victory." If you are willful, abandon the Huaishui and fight a decisive battle with other countries in Huaibei, this matter must not be allowed. ”

Then, Zhong Lijun and others from Huainan, who were concerned about their personal interests, followed and said: "Great King, what Ling Yin said is extremely true, it is absolutely impossible to abandon the matter of guarding Huaishui. ”

The feudal monarchs of Jiang Han were even more worried that once Huaibei was defeated, the king of Chu would transfer Jiang Han's forces to Huaibei, thus creating an emptiness for Jiang Han and giving Qin an opportunity to take advantage of. As a result, the feudal monarchs led by Ye Gong responded one after another: "The king, the ministers also think that it is better to stick to the strategy of Huaibei now, and it is very inappropriate to fight a decisive battle with various countries in Huaibei, please don't hesitate to do so." ”

As the ministers spoke, Qiao Jun and Yangling's faces suddenly turned pale, as if they had been abandoned.

At this time, Xiong Huai listened to the words of the ministers, and nodded suddenly, no matter what Qiao Jun thought, but after the ministers spoke, the two of them were separated from the other feudal monarchs.

Now, no matter what Xiong Huai wants to do, next, the other feudal lords have nothing to say.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at the pale two people again, and slowly spoke: "Qiao Jun, Yang Ling Jun, the widow is the king of Chu State, not only shouldering the people of Huaibei, but also Huainan, Jianghan, and Jiangnan. Therefore, the widow must take into account the overall situation and need to make trade-offs. This time, the destruction of the Yue countries came to attack, and it can be regarded as a widow who can't stand the two virtuous ministers.

However, in order to make compensation and make up for the dedication of the two virtuous ministers, the widow has two choices for the two virtuous ministers, and the secretary can choose one of them..."

After a pause, Xiong Huai slowly said under the gaze of the ministers: "This first choice, although the request of the two virtuous ministers is not in accordance with the rules, but the matter is urgent, and it is not impossible to make an exception in the position of the widow. Therefore, the widow can agree to the request of the two virtuous ministers, as long as the two virtuous ministers are loyal to state affairs, once the countries occupy Huaibei, the widow swears here, and in the future to recapture Qiao and Yangling, these two places will be returned to the two.

If the two are worried about the survival of the family, the widow can specially allow the two virtuous kings to send an heir who is less than fourteen years old to study in Yingdu in advance. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai stared at the two of them intently.

This is indeed the extrajudicial grace of him, the king of Chu, and one of the important roles of the feudal lords on the borders of various countries is to act as a national screen when the country is in danger, one is to consume the morale of the enemy army, and the other is to leave enough time for the country to react.

If you only want benefits, not like taking responsibility, all countries in the world do not have such good things.

As for why they didn't let their families come to Yingdu, it was because according to the rules, as a feudal monarch, they must show the military and people under their rule that the feudal monarch is with them, strengthen the people's determination to resist, and swear to live and die with the city.

As for why they are children under the age of fourteen, it is because the minimum age for the people to be recruited is fourteen years old.

At this time, Qiao Jun and Yang Lingjun glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.

Although the king of Chu destroyed the Yue Kingdom, causing various countries to invade, and the land of Huaibei was abandoned by the king of Chu, this is the king of Chu is sorry for Huaibei, but the king of Chu is not sorry for them.

As feudal monarchs, they enjoy the rewards of the Chu State, and they have the responsibility to defend the land, and they need to make sacrifices when the Chu State is in danger.

As the other feudal lords thought, their tragic experience was not that the king of Chu was mean, but that their fate was bad.

Now, the king of Chu took the initiative to let them leave a descendant to inherit the title, and they can regain the fief in the future, which is the great gift of the king of Chu.

On the other side, Xiong Huai kept staring at the two of them after finishing speaking, and after seeing the two nodding, he immediately threw out a suggestion that he had been thinking about for many years:

"Two virtuous people, although the fief is important, the people are the fundamental. When various countries come to attack, the people of Huaibei will inevitably be displaced and scattered.

Therefore, in order to avoid the situation that the two virtuous ministers have empty fiefs and no people. The second choice of the widow is to turn the two virtuous kings into feudal lords, and because of the possibility that Huaibei is about to be lost, in order to avoid the two virtuous kings from losing their fiefs and not being able to obtain taxes, the widows decided to set up a fictitious food eup, not to directly obtain taxes from the fiefdom, but to receive the tax directly from the Taifu every year based on the taxes in the territory of the second secretary last year.

Moreover, in order to make up for the loss of the two virtuous ministers, the widow is willing to double the original price.

And no matter what the harvest of the Chu State is, no matter whether the fiefdom of the two virtuous ministers is captured by another country, they will receive Yulu. Since then, the two virtuous ministers have been resting with the country, the Chu country is immortal, and the two virtuous ministers are endless, I don't know what the two virtuous ministers think? ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at the two again, quietly waiting for their choice.

The former choice was proposed by Qiao Jun on his own initiative, leaving a descendant for the two, and with the counterattack of the Chu State, they also had the possibility of regaining their fiefdom.

The latter condition is to take back the power of the fiefdom, turn them into feudal kings, and directly tie them to the chariot of the Chu State, with both glory and loss.

This is something that Xiong Huai has been planning all along, after all, the power of the feudal lords is too great, and it is very detrimental to the country to become an independent kingdom. Even if the original system is restored according to Wu Qi's method, the fief can only be passed down for three generations, and it will be taken back by the state, and Xiong Huai will find it difficult to accept.

If it was usually ten, it would be very difficult for them to hand over power, but now...

Xiong Huai wanted to see if the situation was critical, whether the feudal monarchs would have the possibility of accepting the transfer, so as to provide a reference for the next actions and try the bottom line of the feudal monarchs.

In the palace, listening to the words of the King of Chu, Yangling Jun did not think much about it, and immediately responded: "King, please send the king to send Yin Sima to help the ministers govern Yangling." ”

Xiong Huai was noncommittal when he heard this, smiled and said: "Okay, then please send a son to Yingdu to study later, no matter the concubine, the widow can issue an edict." ”

When Yang Lingjun heard this, he immediately bowed with satisfaction: "King Xie! ”

Qiao Jun bowed and said: "The minister is willing to hand over Qiao Land, and ask to be turned into a feudal monarch and rest with the country." ”

At the same time, Yangling Jun also spoke: "King, please let the second son be sent back to Yingdu, and then the minister will lead the family to live and die with Yangling." ”

"Good!" Xiong Huai nodded, then turned his gaze to Qiao Jun and asked, "Qiao Jun, I don't know how Xianqing plans to choose?" ”

Qiao Jun was hesitating, suddenly heard the question of the King of Chu, looked up at the King of Chu, and then glanced at the other feudal monarchs, seeing their indifferent attitudes, he suddenly sighed in his heart.

Although he is also the feudal monarch of the Chu State, he is very different from Yangling Jun and others from other feudal monarchs, that is, the territory is not in the heart of the Chu State, but on the border.
