Chudu Shouying is sandwiched between Huaishui, Feishui, and Shaobei, surrounded by huge cities and green waters within a radius of more than 50 miles, and is built on the mountain. Like the old Ying, the royal city of the Nine Divisions of the Kingdom was built directly south of the city, facing south and facing north. The wide Jingmen enters the Zongmiao Sheji, and the two are arranged on the left and the right; After the Zongmiao Sheji is the court, after the court is the main gate of the palace Maomen, after the Maomen is the official residence of the hundred officials and various warehouses, and then it is the Ying Gate, after the Ying Gate is the ruling dynasty, the ruling dynasty is the road gate in the past, and the road gate is the Yan Dynasty dormitory - in the two weeks, the palace like the courtyard of the three entrances is the standard establishment of the princes of various countries, only Zhou Tianzi and the Qin State who called the emperor built the five-entry compound.

Xiong Jing knew what was in the south of the dormitory, but he didn't know what was in the north of the dormitory. Sister Qi Xuan said that behind the palace is the Yingdu market, as for how big this market is and what is sold in it, he can only make up for it. Now, in order to prove that what he said was true, he went out of the palace to build a four-wheeled carriage ballista, and with the assistance of Mi Xuan, he hid in the car driving out of the palace and finally got out of the palace.

'Chu Zhiyingdu, the hub of the car hits, the people's shoulders are rubbing, the city roads are abrupt, and the clothes are fresh and the clothes are bad. 'The Eastern Han Dynasty Huan Tan had such a description of the capital of Chu, but for Xiong Jing, who was out of the cage, the crowd was not the highlight, and the chaos was interesting - because of the collision of the thieves, the rabbit cages piled up by the rabbit sellers collapsed, and the scene of the market full of rabbits made him lean forward and backward with laughter, and laughed for several days, laughing every time he thought of it.

"If the father, the queen and the mother know it, they will be punished, and you still laugh." This was the last time he left the palace, and the chariot was followed by a four-wheeled carriage towed by two horses, and then a ballista that had not yet been assembled.

"Is there any of the palace laws that forbids me from leaving the palace?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically, quite proud.

Xiong Jing didn't mention the palace law, but she was even more worried when she mentioned Mi Xuan, she was not as good as her younger brother, according to etiquette, women were not allowed to go out at the age of ten, and they could only listen to Mu Jiao in the palace every day, and learn about female red women.

"Worried?" Xiong Jing saw that his sister's color changed, took her hand, and said very manly: "Don't worry, if you are noticed by the concubine, everything is with me, and this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

"Mother concubine, I'm not worried," after a long time with his younger brother, Mi Xuan's speech and words were also influenced by him. "I'm worried that my father will know, and there is also Chunyang Palace." Mi Xuan looked at his younger brother and changed his worry: "It is rumored in the palace that my father wants to make his younger brother the eldest son because ......he loves Concubine Li."

"Hmm." Xiong Jing didn't know much about how the state of Chu made a prince, but it was obvious that the king of Chu didn't like himself, and he didn't like his mother - he spent the night at Concubine Li in Chunyang Palace almost every day, and rarely came to Qiuhua Palace.

"Xuanxiao, I don't care who makes the eldest son." Xiong Jing said, "What I want is freedom, and being a carriage ballista and offering to my father is not to compete for favor, but to let my father trust me and give me greater freedom." ”

When Xiong Jing spoke, Mi Xuan looked at his younger brother and was very surprised that he didn't want to be the eldest son, "Is this true?" ”

"That's true." Xiong Jing looked serious, and it was rare to say what was in his heart to his sister. "The seven kingdoms are vying for power, the war is not endless, with today's world, in less than thirty or forty years, the nations will be destroyed by Qin, what is there to be the king of the fallen country."

"Ahh The carriage began to move forward again, and the market was still noisy, but Xiong Jing's last two sentences were still like lightning on Qi Xuan's head, making her whole person creepy, she grabbed Xiong Jing's sleeve and said urgently: "What about our Da Chu?" ”

"The same is true of Da Chu." Xiong Jing put his hand on his sister's hand, as if trying to comfort her. "Six kings, one from all over the world, one from the four seas, Shushan Wu, and a fang out." A thousand years later, Du Mu's Afang Gongfu does not rhyme at all in ancient tones, but this is not a wind and snow, just the sentence "Six Kings Bi, Four Seas and One" makes Mi Xuan's face bloodless.

She grabbed her sleeves tighter and said, "Brother Jing knows that there will definitely be a way to save me Da Chu,...... Why don't you tell your father? ”

"It's useless to tell my father." Xiong Jing remembered the anger of the king of Chu that day, and his heart was cold. "Does the father believe it? What about faith? The Qin State sits on the Bashu, Hanzhong, and our Chu State's Jianghan, these places are all land of fish and rice, and the products are abundant. If there is food, there will be soldiers, coupled with the system of Qin's military exploits, and the danger of Hangu Pass in terms of geographical advantages, and dominating the world is just around the corner. The Battle of Changping of the Six Kingdoms of Zhao was killed by 400,000 soldiers, and the joint column failed again, and the strength to prevent the Qin State from dominating the world was gone......"

Xiong Jing can't remember when Qin Shi Huang destroyed the Six Kingdoms, let alone how many years BC it is, but the Six Kingdoms must have been destroyed at the hands of Qin Shi Huang. He really doesn't have much impression of Chu State, all he knows is a palace fight drama in which the princess of Chu State marries into Qin State to be the queen mother, and he hasn't watched it all.

Twenty-two years have passed since the Battle of Changping, and even though Hehe was completely defeated, Qin's annihilation of the Six Kingdoms was unstoppable. Unless you make black medicine and build an all-firearms army, but the pit is that you can't find sulfur in this era, and if there is no sulfur, there will be no black medicine, and there will be no queue to shoot the party. The only thing that comforted him was that Lü Buwei was still the minister of Qin - Lü Buwei died and Qin Shihuang fully mastered the military and political power of Qin, and then Li Mu died, Li Mu died and Zhao Guo was destroyed, and the next thing was to break each one. This is the general trend, as for the triangular relationship between Chun Shenjun, Concubine Li, and King Chu, he can't control ......it and doesn't want to care about it.

He didn't know why the Time and Space Administration had brought him to this era, and he was so disgusted with this arrangement that he often thought with a bad taste: If he had to become the king of Chu, then he would definitely not fire a single arrow and order the state of Chu to raise his hand and surrender to the state of Qin—why should I be involved in this era? Why should I change this history? With my consent? Can I do it? Lao Tzu just doesn't do it! If you can do it, you won't do it! What can you do with me!

Thinking of. Xiong Jing of the Egg's Time and Space Administration bit his lower lip fiercely again, his eyes glared angrily, but Qi Xuan cried, and the louder he cried.

"Xuanxiao, don't cry. My brother swears that when the day comes, he will definitely protect you and your mother. Xiong Jing looked at his sister, helpless and pitiful.

"What's the use of protecting me and my mother? Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and the Great Chu Society is unique. It's okay that Xiong Jing didn't persuade her, but when she persuaded Mi Xuan, she cried even more sadly. Born as a Chu person, how could she be as heartless as Xiong Jing and indifferent to the survival of Chu Guosheji?

"Xuan Xuan......" The crying in the carriage became louder and louder, and Xiong Jing was speechless.

Mi Xuan cried until the palace gate, she didn't want her mother to find out that she had cried, when the car stopped at the gate, she stopped crying and began to wipe her tears. At this time, the questioning voice of the outsider came in: "What is this?" ”

Although the four-wheeled carriage after the car is novel but not eye-catching, the real eye-catching is the ballista, although it is not assembled, the winding ratchets and long chutes all prove that this is a big killer, which is also the reason why the master of the palace talisman dared to make it.

"This princess's ......" The royal driver couldn't remember what this thing was called, so he said: "This princess's toy ear." ”

"Toys?" The one snorted heavily, "This strong crossbow is also." Left and right, take it! ”

*

As soon as the proprietor went out, Tingli hurried up to the court. "Dare to tell the king: Prince Jing privately made a strong crossbow, and it is illegal. However, the prince said that this crossbow is a heavy weapon in the army, and it is made to be dedicated to the king, what if so? ”

"Shaft!" The king of Chu thought it was something, but he didn't expect that his son had made the ballista privately.

"King, whether Prince Jing made a strong crossbow privately or made it dedicated to the king, please ask him." The king of Chu was angry, and Zi Mo hurriedly spoke. He was also puzzled by Xiong Jing's behavior, why was this son so stubborn?

"Great King, the minister heard that Prince Jing's strong crossbow can shoot three hundred steps away, and I don't have such a strong crossbow in Dachu, I would like to watch it." Nao is a big Sima, and he is happy when he hears Wu.

"What the child says, the Buddha can believe." Yin Dao, the worker who built the mansion, saw that Chun Shenjun was glancing at him, and immediately went out of the ranks. "Han crossbow shot 600 steps, what this Zonghengjia said is not credible. If so, the king once rewarded a thousand gold and sealed 300 households to recruit crossbowmen, how could he not come? ”

"Faith and faith, try it and you will know. Why don't you try?! Nao sly, his eyes stared straight at Gong Yin Dao.

"Please summon Prince Jing to the court to discern whether it is illegal or not." Zuo Yin Meng Zhengyu is also out of the ranks, he doesn't care about the crossbow, he only cares about the Fa. It was his duty for the prince to illegally make a strong crossbow, but because the crossbow was going to be offered to the king, the court told the king.

"Summoned." The King of Chu looked complicated, he flicked his sleeve, and the servant immediately shouted: "Summoning Prince Jing to the court." ”

"Summoning Prince Jing to the court......" The voice spread far away. Hundreds of officials in the court craned their necks to look at the door of the room, wanting to see who Prince Jing was and why he wanted to make a strong crossbow privately. Among them, all the doctors Feng Junqing are worried: the king is already displeased, and the hope of the prince is getting smaller and smaller, and he can't help but regret that he didn't talk to Concubine Zhao earlier. Chunshenjun Huang Xie and the yellow-dressed taxis had a smile in their eyes: how old a child can make something, and call the court to show its ugliness; Besides, the private creation of a strong crossbow has violated the law of Dachu, and Wang Zijing is now afraid that he will be in tears and trembling.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and after a while, Xiong Jing stepped into the court under the leadership of the servant. Unlike what the scholars thought, he didn't tremble at all, but looked at the standing courtiers and smiled-he finally saw the court meeting more than two thousand years ago, and the ministers were all standing, only the king of Chu was sitting.

"The crossbow is big, can you shoot 300 steps?" Someone muttered quietly, and the person standing in the doorway could see the silhouette of the crossbow outside and began to guess.

"Hmph. Made by children, Fernando believes. Immediately someone shook their heads in reply, and they were disdainful of the person who asked the question.

"The child visits his father." According to the ceremony, Xiong Jing had already bowed before entering the room, and at this time it was just a salute. His childlike voice is crisp and his demeanor is steady, which makes the doctors' eyes bright. "The previous time the child didn't know the measure of Da Chu, and what he said was wrong. The four-wheeled carriage can carry a weight of 100 stones, more than 6,000 catties; The ballista was built but not tried, so he asked his father and quasi-child to test it and compete with Han's crossbow. ”

"Six thousand catties?" The king of Chu was surprised. There was also a discussion in the court, and there were more people shaking their heads.

One catty in Chu is only two hundred and fifty grams, and the catty in Xiong Jing's mouth is five hundred grams. He remembered that Napoleon's four-wheeled carriage could hold 1.5 tons, or 3,000 catties, and that the king of Chu had said, 'Ren weighs 50 stones...... More than 3,000 catties', this is talking about Chu catties, but in fact there are only 1,500 catties and 0.75 tons. Xiong Jing only understood this when he built the carriage, which was why he asked the king of Chu for permission to test fire and compete with Han's crossbow - he was worried that they would not have the same understanding of each other.

"Does Prince Jing use this as a martial arts field?" After Xiong Jing finished speaking, Xiang Chengjun jumped out. "Governing a dynasty is a dynasty that governs the country, not a dynasty of competition. A strong crossbow can shoot a few steps, and the king will know it after trying it. ”

"That's a fallacy." Nao looked at Huang Xie, a sworn friend, and his beard was furious. He ignored this person and said directly to the king of Chu: "King, please try the crossbow, if the prince says, the benefits of the Chu army will also be." ”

From the initial selection of the eldest son, to the summoning of the eldest son to the court, and now to the test of the crossbow, the development of the entire court meeting is not controlled by the king of Chu and Chun Shenjun at all. Hearing Nao's words, Huang Xie immediately said, "No." O king, today is a matter of the choice of the eldest son, not a test of the strength of the crossbow......"

"Those who choose to set up the eldest son and summon the prince to the court, listen to his words and watch his deeds. Prince Jing made a car and a crossbow, and this trip was also. How can you observe it if you don't try? How can you choose the eldest son if you don't look at his deeds? At the critical moment, Zhen Yin Zimo jumped out again.

King Chu's gaze fell on Xiong Jing again, and there were many discussions, and his little face was as calm as water, without any waves. Today, the court decided to establish the eldest son, but he once again offered a carriage and a strong crossbow ....... His gaze shifted from Xiong Jing to Zi Mo, Zuo Tu Zhao Huang, Da Sima Nao and others, and finally looked at the group of Feng Junqing doctors standing in the east, feeling that everything was premeditated. But in the current situation, it is impossible to carry out the crossbow court discussion without trying, and there is no way to talk about the eldest son.

"What Zhen Yin said is very true, and the minister also dares to ask the king to test the crossbow to see what he does." Huang Xie saw the suspicion in the eyes of the King of Chu, but he didn't believe that a drooping boy could make a crossbow that was stronger than all the countries in the world.

"If that's it, let's try it." The courtiers were worried, and the king of Chu nodded.
