Chapter 709: The Prelude

After a pause, Xiong Huai's gaze fell on Qu Yuan again, and he said: "Qu Qing, this time Xianqing led the people of Xiangyang to stick to Xiangyang, which is really a great achievement. Therefore, the widow wanted to ask Xianqing to take up the position of Zuo disciple again, thinking that the widow would share his worries. ”

This is not the first time Qu Yuan has served as a left disciple, more than ten years ago, Qu Yuan served as a left disciple.

At that time, Qu Yuan and the king of Chu discussed state affairs together, drafted decrees, and carried out internal changes. Externally, it is to make every effort to promote the Qichu Alliance.

For more than ten years, everything seems to have returned to the original point, but Qu Yuan knows very well that this time is completely different from more than ten years ago.

He was almost forty years old, and the King of Chu didn't have time to wait for more than ten years.

What's more, this time, unlike the last time when King Chu was on a whim and he rushed into battle, this time he has been preparing for nearly ten years.

If you don't succeed, you die!

Thinking about it, Qu Yuan bowed solemnly and resolutely: "Only! ”

At this time, the ministers looked at Qu Yuan, who was kneeling down, and was suddenly terrified.

Qu Yuan once again served as a left disciple!

This is not good news for them.

Xiong Huai didn't care what was going on in the minds of the ministers at the moment, but immediately continued: "Sima was promoted to Zhuguo, and now the position of Sima is vacant. Zuo Sima Tang Wu, led the army to conquer the Yue country, and made outstanding achievements. Therefore, the widow wants to promote the left Sima Tang as Sima. Because Sima Tang was not in the capital, the widow planned to let Zuo Sima dispatch the national army on behalf of Sima. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai didn't wait for the ministers to react, let alone ask the ministers, and immediately looked at Gongsun Yan and said: "Rhinoceros, since Xianqing dispatched the army on behalf of Sima, there has been no mistake, and he repelled Qin and Han, and reversed the defeat of Chu in one fell swoop, which can be described as a great achievement. Therefore, the widow wanted to ask the head of the rhino to take up the post of Zuo Sima to deal with the military affairs in the country. ”

Gongsun Yan immediately bowed and said, "King Xie! ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, and his heart was slightly relieved: At this point, the overall situation of reform has been fully deployed.

Yin Jingcui is not proficient in internal affairs, he must need a right-hand man, and Qu Yuan, the left, is extremely proficient in internal affairs and foreign affairs, with Qu Yuan's ability, with the support of him, the king of Chu, if Jingcui is fully opposed to the change, then it is really easy to set up Jingcui.

At the same time, Gongsun Yan, a native of Wei, controlled the dispatch of the army of Chu, especially the 100,000 elites outside the city.

It can be said that at this moment, the military and political power of Chu is all in the hands of himself, the king of Chu.

Who can stop the next change?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and smiled again: "Zhuqing, a few months ago, when the Chu State was at its most critical, a miracle fell from heaven in the Zongmiao, and the five phoenixes turned into five-colored stones, showing that the mandate of heaven is in Chu and the mandate of heaven is in the widow.

After that, sure enough, my Chu State was able to turn defeat into victory, which is the protection of God! Therefore, the widow decided to lead the ministers to sacrifice the god Nuwa with five-colored stones ten days later, that is, on the first day of the eighth month. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at the ministers and smiled: "This sacrifice is a special sacrifice, therefore, the five-color stones of this sacrifice are all borne by the widow, and the princes don't have to be worshipped." ”

When the ministers heard that the sacrifice was an artifact five-color stone, they were stunned for a moment, and then bowed with a blank face: "Only." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, retreat!" ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai took the lead in leaving the hall.

Soon after, in the hotel.

Not long after the feudal monarchs returned to the hotel, Zuotu Qu Yuan, Tingli Sun Hao, and Si Luo Yi surrounded the hotel with an army.

Then, the three of them separated with their soldiers, and after a while, Qu Yuan came to the residence of Jingling Jun.

"Zuo disciple, I don't know what you are doing here with your soldiers?" When Ling Jun saw Qu Yuan finding him with a murderous aura, he immediately said angrily.

Qu Yuan said expressionlessly: "On the order of the king, give the sword!" Please settle for yourself. ”

"Give a sword?" Jingling Jun was startled, looked at the sword handed by a soldier in fear, and said tremblingly: "What does this mean? ”

Qu Yuan responded: "The king's meaning, Fang Cai has already made it very clear in the palace, and I also ask the king of Jingling not to embarrass him, and let these soldiers give you a ride." Jinglingjun, you are a decent person, don't lose your dignity. ”

Jinglingjun was stunned, then sweating profusely, slowly took the sword from the soldier's hand, pulled out the sword, looked at the sword with cold light, hesitated, looked at Qu Yuan and said: "Zuo disciple, can you give Benjun a little time and let Benjun finish arranging the aftermath?" ”

Qu Yuan's face turned cold and he shook his head.

"Jinglingjun, I'm going to go to Nanjun's place later, please don't make it difficult for you!"

Hearing this, King Ling muttered: "Why is the king in such a hurry that he doesn't even leave time for his ministers to arrange the aftermath?" ”

As he spoke, with fear, worry, and reluctance, he slowly put the sword on his neck, and then pulled it hard, and suddenly blood splattered five steps.

Qu Yuan slowly shook his head after Jingling Jun breathed, and then ordered: "Order, where to go to Nanjun." ”

It's just that Qu Yuan had just walked out of Jinglingjun's residence when he saw Tingli Sun Hao hurriedly trotting over.

Sun Hao hadn't walked to Qu Yuan's side, and when he was still more than ten steps away, he hurriedly said: "Zuo disciple, it's not good, when I gave Xijun a sword below, I found out that Xijun had disappeared and now his whereabouts are unknown." ”

"Huh?" Qu Yuan was stunned for a moment, although his face sank: "Tingli, Xijun hasn't returned yet, or..."

Sun Hao shook his head and said heavily: "According to the people in the hotel, Xijun didn't return all night last night, and until now, he has not been seen. ”

Qu Yuan was shocked: "Could it be that Xijun dares to abscond in fear of crime." ”

Sun Hao hurriedly said: "It's okay if you are afraid of crime and abscond, but I'm worried..."

Qu Yuan's face changed, and he immediately hurriedly ordered: "Tingli, you immediately check the number of feudal monarchs in various places in the hotel, and then go to report to the king." ”

As soon as Sun Hao saw that Qu Yuan took the initiative to meet the king, he immediately nodded and said, "Good!" ”

Chu Palace.

Xiong Huai listened to Qu Yuan's report, and there was no surprise in his heart, he knew about it yesterday.

The reason why it was not brought up in the court discussion was because in order to avoid causing panic among the ministers, and to temporarily stabilize the feudal monarchs who were still in Yingdu.

Now that those feudal lords of Yingdu have been given to death, the time is ripe.

It's time to make an example of the monkeys, lest those feudal lords have a chance to take chances.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai commanded with a cold face: "The widow already knows about this matter." Spread the edict of the widow, and let Ling Yin, Zhu Guo, and Zuo Sima come to see the widow. ”

"Yui!"

Soon after.

Jing Cui and the others, who learned the news, came to the hall and saw the King of Chu sitting on the top of the hall with a frosty face, while Qu Yuan was accompanying him.

"Meet the King!"

"Excuse me!"

After Jing Cui and the others sat down, Xiong Huai said coldly: "Ling Yin came just in time, just now Zuo came to report, Xijun and the other five feudal monarchs have absconded in fear of crime, I don't know what Ling Yin thinks, how to deal with it." ”
