Zhong Xiang, the king of Chu, was almost wiped out, and only the young son Zhong Ziyi remained in his lineage.

According to common sense, the son succeeded his father, and Zhong Ziyi succeeded him as the king of Chu, learned the lessons of failure, and continued to lead the righteous army to conquer the imperial court, which is the best choice for the righteous army at present.

However, as long as people gather, there are restless people, these people are selfish, regardless of the overall situation, exploiting tricks, only mercenary, always putting their own interests first, and will never give up if they fail to achieve their goals, even if they destroy the entire Chu State.

Zhong Xiang is generous by nature, claiming to be the queen of Chu who has made meritorious contributions, worshipping the prime minister, and sealing the general, although the general is not as good as the cabbage, but he is rewarded with his own birth and death.

Among them, he concentrated military power and made five kings under his command. King Zhong Biao was his cousin, and although he led 50,000 horses, he had great power, and he also led the army to balance the other four kings. Xia Cheng, the king of loyalty, Yang Mi, the king of righteousness, Liu Heng, the king of letters, and Huang Zuo, the king of Li, each led more than 100,000 troops to be responsible for attacking the city and pulling out the village, and Zhong Xiang, the king, was not idle, and personally prepared grain and grass for the soldiers to eat.

Originally, Zhong Ziyi's succession to the throne was indisputable, but Liu Heng, the king of letters, and Huang Zuo, the king of Li, suddenly stood up and sang the opposite, saying that there should be a virtuous and respectable person to succeed to the throne and turn the tide when the national disaster is coming.

Later, when the officials asked who was the most respectable person, the two kings showed their aggressiveness, and they all said that Zhong Biao, the king of benevolence, was a person of high morality.

Although Zhong Biao was stunned and found some painless reasons to refuse, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhong Biao's acting is fake, and usurpation of power is real.

Thinking about Zhong Xiang treating him like a father, now that the deceased's bones are not cold, even if he does his best to take the throne of his weak nephew, the benevolent king has no virtue and no benevolence at all.

Those who can be officials are all clever people, although they despise Zhong Biao thousands of times in their hearts, there are very few people who oppose it. This is the rule of officialdom, until the outcome is unclear, it is best to remain silent and watch the development of the situation, if you jump early, the opponents will come to power, and there will always be endless small shoes.

When the result is clear, whether you want to or go against your will, you can support it with righteous words, and the icing on the cake is always better than giving charcoal in the snow.

However, not all officials have this mentality, and although there are few loyal people, they are not absent.

Loyal King Xia Cheng and Righteous King Yang Mi did not dishonor the word loyalty and righteousness given by the previous king, and took the lead in jumping out to oppose it, both of them said that the throne has been passed down from father to son since ancient times, how can there be a truth passed down from brother to brother? And King Zhong Biao is not Zhong's brother-in-law, and he is not satisfied with the throne and his righteous army, and there are internal cracks that will become the reason for the loss of the country.

Liu Heng and Huang Zuo knew that the two of them would refute, and blurted out the prepared rhetoric, the legend of the brothers on the throne is not groundless, in fact, it has already existed, not to say far away, just say that the Taizu Zhao Kuangyin of this dynasty died, and the throne was inherited by Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and the elder brother also opened up the Great Song Dynasty.

Xia Cheng immediately retorted, the righteous army is against the Zhao family's world, you use the rules of the Zhao family to deal with the affairs of the Zhong family, who will accept this kind of Zhao Guan Zhong Dai's approach? You are called Huan, one Taizong on the left and one Taizu on the right, and it sounds more like a minister of the Song Dynasty, not at all like an official of the Great Chu State, so why don't you go to Lin'an and risk your head to stay here?

Yang Mi hated and cursed even more, not to mention Zhao Guangyi, a thing that his six relatives didn't recognize, killed his brother and robbed the throne, became a bitch and set up an archway, full of benevolence and morality, full of male thieves and prostitutes.

The swearing immediately caused dissatisfaction, Liu Heng and Huang Zuo thought that Yang Mi was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but Yang Mi said that this is a matter of facts, who let you sit in the right seat.

After these words, the controversy escalated, and the four kings looked at each other angrily, swords rattling, and there was a posture of rushing if they disagreed.

King Zhong Biao couldn't sit still, and he used his power to quell the fight. turned to a round and said that it was all for Da Chu's future, so why bother to break the brotherhood. If we talk about arguing and arguing, we can't make insinuations and hurt people in secret.

Although this frame is biased, Xia Cheng and Yang Qi can also be regarded as giving him face, and they did not get angry again. At this time, Liu Heng said again, Zhong Biao sat on the throne just to solve the urgent need, followed the example of Duke Zhou to sit on the throne temporarily, and named Zhong Ziyi as the prince.

This time it really annoyed Xia Cheng and Yang Mi, usurping the throne, usurping the throne, and saying it is high-sounding, but the femme fatales are pretending to be bodhisattvas, these wolf-hearted things, how can I let your conspiracy succeed. A small bookstore

Xia Cheng said, "That eye of yours sees that Zhong Ziyi is not competent? Young emperors abound, and there are countless people who have achieved great things, and those who have Zhong Ziyi succeeded to the throne and are not far from the country, and those who have the heart of Sima Zhao.

Yang Mi was even more angry, scolding Liu Heng and Huang Zuo for being ungrateful, shameless, believing that the king had no faith, and that the king of etiquette was rude, and that he was ashamed of the previous king.

In an instant, the two factions were in the same situation, drawing their swords and confronting each other, and they did not coexist. The officials tried their best to persuade each other, and the kings dispersed, and Zhong Biao even hated Xia Cheng and Yang Mi.

Needless to say, Zhong Biao was the initiator, he was greedy for royal power, so he pulled Liu Heng and Huang Zuo to plan a big drama to seize the throne. Zhong Biao also understands that Zhong has the grace to save his life compared to Xia Cheng and Yang Mi, and the two will definitely support Zhong Ziyi's ascendancy, if they blatantly manipulate, it will definitely backfire.

So after the three of them conspired, they exported such a big drama, played the sad card of the country's danger, and first moved the two psychologically, even if it didn't make sense, the five kings voted three to two. Who knew that as soon as there was a proposal, it was recognized by the two kings of Zhongyi, and then the two factions were incompatible, and the matter could only be stranded.

If one plan fails, another plan will be born, and the three of them will conspire to use extraordinary means to operate normally for Dachu and set up a temporary headquarters to deal with state affairs. Headed by King Ren, he temporarily dealt with the military and political affairs of Great Chu, and the other four kings assisted him.

How could Xia Cheng and Yang Mi agree to their move to cover up Mi Zhang, and refused, and then Yang Mi did a more thorough thing, supporting Zhong Ziyi, the young son of the King of Chu, to succeed the King of Chu, and ordered the rest of the vassals to come to congratulate.

The angry Zhong Biao immediately confronted each other, saying that Xia Cheng and Yang Qi were holding the prince hostage, and wanted to follow Cao Thief's example of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and his heart could be punished. Not only did he not recognize the legal status of the king of Xinchu, but he also Chen Bing Xia Cheng and Yang Qi were in front of the camp, claiming that Qing Yu was a traitor.

Yang Qi and the two are not good people, they have long lined up and waited, and Zhong Ziyi, the king of Chu, is in front of the battle, if Zhong Biao rushes into battle and the rebellion is confirmed, he is the public enemy of the righteous army.

Zhong Biao saw that there was no chance of victory, and he did not dare to make a mistake, so he led his troops to retreat, and then also proclaimed himself the king of Chu, and worshiped the general, as if orthodox.

Two Great Chu, two Chu kings, since then the righteous army has been divided into two parts, water and fire are incompatible, internal strife has been escalating, and friction has occurred from time to time.

Flowers welcome joy and laughter, and birds know joy and interpret songs.

The rebels have nightmares, and Kong Yanzhou is full of happy events. First of all, he highlighted the surprise soldiers, personally led three thousand tigers to attack, and beheaded the king of Chu and his subordinates; Later, the thieves took the initiative to retreat, and he recovered several cities without blood; Now the thieves are fighting among themselves, as long as he uses it skillfully, it is not a problem to suppress the thief.

The merit is great, the reward is great, and after Gaozong added Kong Yanzhou to the rank of knight, he urged him to enter the army to destroy the thief.

Kong Yanzhou is using his own wishful thinking, and after quickly exterminating the thief, he can't show his importance, he still understands the truth of rabbit death and dog cooking, and in this way, the Kong family's army will be damaged, and the decline in his own strength will be a catastrophe.

Therefore, he said that he was outnumbered and asked the court to send troops to support, so that it was the imperial court's team that charged, and his team sat in the rear of the formation to pick up ready-made peaches.

Secretly, he sent Yang Hua and Zhong Jie to secretly recruit the leaders of the rebel army, disintegrate from the inside, and let the rebel army fight the rebel army. Therefore, the holy decree urged him again and again, but he still stood still, and he played the procrastination trick handy.

"Your Majesty! Kong Yanzhou rushed for help for 800 miles, Dingzhou soldiers were outnumbered, and the bandit force was overstretched, so he asked the imperial court to send 100,000 troops to help! ”

Zhao Gou smoked and stood up from the dragon chair suddenly, knowing that Kong Yanzhou was deliberately delaying, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only sit down with hatred, and said helplessly: "This matter is important, postpone and discuss it again!" ”

Not to mention sending 100,000 troops, even if a third of the troops are dispatched, the investment of the imperial court is very large, and I don't know how long it will take.

The more distressed Zhao Gou was, the more he hated Kong Yanzhou, and the more he hated Kong Yanzhou, the more distressed he became, but he could only endure it, Kong Yanzhou was a general, and rebellion became a habit, and he was forced to do anything in a hurry. Now when employing people, wait until the chaos in Dingzhou is pacified, and then slowly clean him up.
