Chapter 32: Identity

Since the war, Shou Ying has not looked at the court for a long time, but when the ministers entered the court today, Xiong Jing, who was dressed in a leather suit, walked out of the gate. The king looked at the dynasty, the surname of Tuyi, the surname of Shiyi, the same surname of Tianyi, and the ministers of the same surname after the three times, and only after the three times did the ministers bow to Xiong Jing together, and said in unison: "The ministers have seen the king." ”

"Excuse me!" Xiong Jing's face tightened, he lingered with Mi Xuan until midnight last night, and finally went back to bed under Chang Jiang's reminder, and then he didn't sleep well all night. When the sun was bright, he really fell asleep, and he only slept for an hour or two.

There were more than 100 courtiers in the Zheng Dynasty, and many were not there because of the war, and even in the Zheng Dynasty, they were temporarily replaced by others. After looking around at the courtiers, Xiong Jing coughed and asked, "I haven't looked at the court for a long time, what is the big thing in the country?" ”

Zhu Ao is either on the battlefield or in Ji Ying, Shou Ying's side is now presided over by Doctor Qu Sui of Sanlu, and there are two Taifu of Song Yu and Kong Qian in addition to him. Xiong Jing suddenly returned to Yingying without anyone notifying, something must have come. Qu Sui glanced at Song Yu and Kong Qian, and said: "The affairs of the country are the Empress Dowager's negligence for a while, and she was blinded by the Hu people, and now there is nothing to do." ”

"Blinded?" Xiong Jing laughed, the words he had been holding back for a few days had reached his throat, but the queen mother's words last night made him hesitate, and he couldn't help but think that Machiavelli had said in "The Monarch": The king must not be hated.

It is true that the affairs of the royal court are not something that the court and outsiders can criticize, but for the common people who have an annual income of only one gold, or even less than one gold, the royal court that spends 37,000 gold at a time is indeed hateful. Sometimes this hatred is due to poor livelihood, sometimes it is due to unfair fate, but all parties are guilty, and the sin is bowing.

Qu Sui didn't know what Xiong Jing's throat was rushing to, and he continued: "The extravagance has retreated to the Hu people, but the common people and public opinion are also discussed. Today, the people can only be hungry, but the Queen Mother spends a lot of money just for her own desires, which is not benevolent. ”

"My lord, the minister thinks that the royal court should not be too extravagant. The soldiers fought in the front, the people worked in the back, and they did not see a gold in their lives, and the queen mother spent 37,000 gold to buy the luxury of the Hu people, what do you think? Chen Hui, a fake minister of Chen County, admonished.

"Great King, the politics of the current Chu State is indeed unfair." Another person stepped forward and said, it was Zuo Yin Mengzheng. "Honorable people can be sealed, but what about others? is also a soldier, not because he is not brave, but because his courage is not seen by others. It is indeed unfair to be brave and sealed. ”

"The minister thinks that the land of the old Yingying should be shared by the people!" Meng Zhao, the minister of Zou County, further said. "The sage said: 'The old and the old, the young and the young, the world can be carried in the palm of your hand.'" Now my Chu country has the power of the princes and the world, and the ministers ask the king to push the grace and the four seas, but the king of the world is also. ”

Xiong Jing's words of indignation were in his throat, he wanted to be furious and reprimand the courtiers of the royal court, but he didn't expect the ministers' words to be even worse than he imagined. This made him laugh instead of being angry, and in his smile, he gradually understood the psychology of the ministers.

Jiuying and Nanyang are both rich lands, and the Zhu clan and the Yushi can be fiefdoms, and they can't get a single hair, so they are obviously red-eyed. Seeing them blushing like this, Xiong Jing's original anger suddenly turned into pride. The more they admonished and complained, the brighter he smiled.

The ministers kept admonishing, Xiong Jing didn't say 'yes', nor did he say 'no', he just kept laughing. After a while, they realized that something was wrong, and stopped. At this time, Xiong Jing still didn't speak, and Qu Sui couldn't help asking: "The ministers and other admonitions, does the king think so?" ”

"Meritorious deeds are rewarded, and guilt is punished, as has been the case since ancient times. The land of the old Yingshi was restored by the army led by the clans and the honorable soldiers, why should the people of the country share it? Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. As soon as these words came out, the ministers were full of disappointment, the Zhu clan and the honorable people had benefited, how could they not have the slightest benefit.

Meng Zhao hurriedly said: "The people cultivate, weave, and spin, pay taxes and taxes, and they do not wear armor to fight, but the food and clothing of the clans and the honorable people are all produced by the people, is this not a merit?" ”

"Slaves also cultivate and pay for taxes, but what the master gets, how can he share the slave's pie?" Xiong Jing sneered, and his words were extremely bad.

"What do you mean?!" Meng Zhao was shocked, and so were the ministers, they could not believe that the king had compared the people to slaves.

"It is not said: 'The slave also cultivates and pays the endowment, but how can the master get a share of the slave's pie?' Xiong Jing repeated what he had just said, and then met everyone's gaze. There were things that shouldn't have been said so bluntly, but anger echoed in his heart for days, and he had to make some people understand who he was.

"Woohoo! The king is not benevolent, why is the king ...... the world" Meng Zhao was the first to whine, and then he was drowned out by the noise in the court. To be precise, Xiong Jing's rhetoric is too much, which does not agree with the three views of the ministers, and does not match the long-publicized arguments of the imperial court.

It took a long time for the chaos to subside, and everyone looked at Xiong Jing differently. Meng Zhengyu asked directly: "Does the king think that the minister is a slave?" ”

"You?" The sneer on the corner of Xiong Jing's mouth is still there. Before he spoke, he knew that these people could fry the pot, and he just wanted these people to fry the pot. From the beginning to the end, he believed that force was the root of rule, and nothing else.

However, it does not mean that after determining that force is the foundation of rule, we cannot use benevolence, justice, law, nationality, religion to ...... the vanquished people and so on, so as to give them the illusion that I am also the master of the Chu State, and I am proud of the Chu State.

When necessary, we must wake them up mercilessly, even kill them, so that they know who they are. Sometimes we have to warn ourselves that we must not be anti-united front by the ideas we have created, and I really think that I have forgotten the identity of my master like them.

"Yes. Minister. Meng Zhengyu asked. In Xiong Jing's eyes, he is a person who has been anti-united and has forgotten his identity as his master.

"As Zuo Yin, isn't he a courtier?" Xiong Jing asked with a smile, his words were euphemistic, and there was a world of difference from the bad just now.

"How are the Chu people?" Meng Zhengyu continued to ask, and he was angry that Xiong Jing had said something like that just now.

"Chu people?" Xiong Jing said again: "There are ten days in the sky, and there are ten levels of people, and since ancient times, respect and humility have been like this, but it is not allowed for those who are brave and trustworthy to change humility to respect." Some people say that the people plough and weave, and the slaves also plough and weave, so why do they want their masters to get a piece of the pie? ”

"Why, then, did the people cultivate and weave?" Meng Zhengyu smiled bitterly, he never knew that Xiong Jing was such a person.

"If the people are not afraid of death, they will not cultivate and weave." Xiong Jing is such a person, and he does not hide his opinions.

"Great King......" Seeing that the situation was slipping to the most dangerous edge, Song Yu finally couldn't help but stop it. Why did the king sin against all the peoples for the benefit of his tongue? ”

"Because I don't want some people to understand who they are." Xiong Jing is still-for-tat. "The soldiers on the front line fought bloodily, but the bloodless people in the rear fantasized about the spoils of war, which is really shameless! If he does not reign for a day, he will not succeed for a day.

There is also the matter of the royal court. Every year, the royal court has to give thousands of gold to the lawyers, thousands of gold to the various schools, and thousands of gold to buy the canned food of the armor and the long shirt of the armor soldiers. Even if the queen mother is extravagant, what does it have to do with you. Which of the king's gold comes from the country? Which of the king's money is the people's fat and people's ointment?

There is no power to restrain the chicken, only a battle of tongues. Do you really think you'll believe your childish rhetoric? You can't just make up a better deception by casually, can't you......"

At this point, the court was full of Xiong Jing's voice, and he despised more and more the Confucian people who used their tongues to fight for their mastership, and he longed that all Chu people could become the masters of the country with their own bravery and blood. However, just like the dynasty of the Later Qin Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, many people thought that reading was a shortcut to get rid of slave status, and did not dare to take up arms and go to the battlefield to win a reputation.

If this is what he despises, then what he rejects most is that these people try to unite him with the original theories of more than 2,000 years ago. It's a joke. United Front and anti-domination, flickering and counter-flickering, slow down to a group of future generations, people with a little social experience, who is not clear about these tricks.

Their theories can't unite with him, and he can oppose them by pulling out a theory at will. It's just that he is already the king of the Chu State, so he doesn't need to spend time reinstalling the system, laborious to refresh everyone's three views, and then cast a new cognitive world. At the same time, he is also happy that he is a Chu person, he likes Chu people, and thinks of the surname of later generations, maybe he is really the blood of the surname Xiong.

Above the court, Xiong Jing angrily scolded the ministers, and the entire Zhengchao was his voice, and the courtiers looked at him directly, and they could feel a burst of murderous aura from his words. And in the window behind the door, Ying Nan, who was pulling Mi Xuan to peep at Xiong Jing and looking at the court, spit out his little tongue.

She thought that Xiong Jing would admit her mistakes to these courtiers like her aunt, and promise that the royal court would never be extravagant in the future, but who would have thought that Xiong Jing would angrily reprimand the courtiers: 'What do you have to do with you'! When she heard this, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and the hand that grabbed Mi Xuan became tighter and tighter.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat." After Xiong Jing finished speaking, the servant Jiang recited this sentence of retreat, which was taught by Xiong Jing.

"Minister...... It's all right. The sparse voice was accompanied by unconcealable disappointment and forbearance.

"Retreat." Xiong Jing got up, walked to the gate in the courtesy of the ministers, and finally disappeared.

"Are you, are you ......, are you okay?" Mi Xuan and Ying Nan shrank on the other side of the gate to avoid Xiong Jing, and when Xiong Jing descended the steps, Mi Xuan stroked the arm that was caught by Ying Nan.

"Sister," Ying Nan was already squatting on the ground, his face weeping. "I love the king, and I will give birth to a child for the king......"

"After the wedding, you will be a lady, and you will give birth to a child for the king." Mi Xuan persuaded. She knew that Ying Nan was in love with Xiong Jing, which made her feel uncomfortable. However, as the queen, she must control the harem and let the concubines add more heirs to the king.

"Queen, queen." While speaking, Xiuzhu tiptoed over, "The king urgently summoned the queen and Princess Yingnan to bed......"
