Chapter 22: Entering the Palace 2
The four doors of the main hall are fully opened, and the seven big tripods are arranged into a 'Ya' character, in the raging flames, the soup with oil flowers is constantly surging, and the fragrance of venison can be smelled even if you stand at the road gate. This is the domesticated deer in the palace garden, in ancient times, the army often hunted deer for food, now this day, Huaishang to the Yellow River area has no forest except for the deep mountains, there is almost no deer, it is a nobleman, venison is also rare and delicious, the deer herd in Chu is rare, smell the fragrance of venison, some county Yin swallowed saliva hard.
"Shinya Εwang." Under the southern steps, Yin Zengfang of Xiyang smelled his index finger and couldn't help shouting.
"Shinya Εwang." The rest of the county princesses who smelled the venison also nodded to each other, and a few people actually rolled up their sleeves and prepared to eat a full meal. But I didn't see the armor soldiers beside Zhao Huang and Song Yu following the two of them a few steps, almost guarding each other.
"The king invites Zhu Yin into the palace." After speaking, the servant habitually shouted: "Rise, rise, rise, ascend......"
Everyone took off their shoes and ascended to the hall, and the more they ascended, the stronger the smell of meat, but after ascending to the hall, they saw the door of the Ming Hall wide open, and their eyes passed through the somewhat dim room, and they seemed to see some figures in the middle court. No one dared to make a mistake, so everyone bowed to the hall and said loudly: "The ministers are ordered by the king to meet and meet the king." β
"The king has a life. Zhu Yin entered the court for a feast. The voice of the temple came from inside, and Dr. Sanlu walked out of the room and greeted him with a smile.
"The ministers respectfully accept the order." In a hurry, the county princesses hurriedly entered the hall and walked through the room to the middle court.
Since the glass was burned, the court has paved a few bright tiles, and the court that was originally dim in the day finally brightened up. The sunlight passes through the bright tile and falls on the boiling copper tripod, not far from the king's seat in front of the tripod, the open space behind the tripod is the open space where the excellent dance, the two sides are rows of seats, the low table in front of the table is a knife and dagger, and the watch is ready, but the king is not seen. Without waiting for everyone's doubts, the servant Jiang stood under the throne and said, "Please come to the table." β
"Ling Yin, Doctor Song, Doctor Qu, please." In terms of identity, Zhao Huang is the highest, Song Yu is second, Qu Sui again, and Zhu Yin needs to wait for these three people to enter the table first. After the three of them sat down, Cai Wen, the county prince with the oldest qualification, asked him to sit first. After pushing down like this, it took more than a quarter of an hour to wait for dozens of people to sit down. After sitting down, they only smelled the smell of meat, but did not see the king, and everyone became suspicious, and did not understand why the king did not show up even though he had invited himself to a feast.
The sound of the drum suddenly remembered, followed by the sound ......of the clattering of the armor when the armor man ran. The sound came from all sides, and it was the armor soldier ascending the stairs.
"There is fraud!" Everyone entered the court before they untied their swords, and Cheng Suke, who had long felt that something was wrong, kicked on the low table and shouted to draw his sword.
"Why is that?!" Cai Wen looked at Zhao Huang and Song Yu, who were also surprised, and the whole person trembled slightly.
"The king has no faith!" Zeng Fang also pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted angrily.
'......Whoa, whoa' palace armor climbed the stairs from all sides, poured into the hall, and immediately surrounded the entire court, and the spear was sharp, and the cold light flashed. Everyone was angry and hateful, and had to retreat to the position of advocating excellent singing and dancing in the middle of the court, everyone drew their swords and wanted to fight, and some people scolded: "Where is the vertical Xiongjing?" Where is the erector bear? This father is not convinced! This father is not convinced! This father wants to fight with you! β
"The king must not be provoked by traitors." Dou Yu Pheasant also panicked, he didn't expect this to be a trap.
"Zhao Huang Pifu!" Some people were furious with Zhao Huang, Song Yu, and Qu Sui, and raised their swords to attack, but the armor soldiers beside them hurriedly protected each other.
"Not necessarily!" Zhao Huang also had a look on his face, he drank the armor, walked to the sword and wanted to stab Peng Guan, the prince of Shangcai County, and said loudly: "I, Zhao Huang, will die with you." "After that, he passed through the Dading and stood with Zhu Yin, and so did Qu Sui.
"Who said to die?" Xiong Jing's slightly immature voice came from the general chapter of the west. When the surrounding armor soldiers heard Xiongjing's voice, they immediately lowered their spears and sheathed their blades, and all saluted: "The ministers pay their respects to the king." β
Then, the armor soldiers on the side of the general chapter hurriedly gave way to Xiong Jing, Yi Su and others to pass, and only then did Zhu Yin really see Xiong Jing clearly. The boy was more than five feet tall, but he wore a small crown of cloth without a crown, a plain robe on top and a plain coat under it, and the accessories hanging on the hook jingled when he walked. The face is innocent, the eyes are old-fashioned, and when he looks at everyone, he looks at everyone with a proud smile, and there is a trace of contempt at the corner of his mouth. Everyone was at a loss, and Xiong Jing sat down on the throne with Yi Su and the left and right historians.
"The venison is cooked, why don't you come to the table and taste it?" Smelling the fragrance of venison, Xiong Jing said casually.
The armor has not retreated, where do you have the heart to eat meat. Zhao Huang and Qu Sui stopped a few county Yin who were about to speak, and ran to the king to sit down and said, "Dare to ask the king why this is?" β
"Why?" The soup was boiling, and Xiong Jing had to raise his voice a little. "If I were the first king, the kings would be dead."
"The King?" Dou Yu Pheasant also tended to come up and confess. "Since the king is not the king of the ancestors, why don't you wave away the armor and get drunk with everyone."
"If the rebellion of the Ao clan, the rebellion of Wuchen, the rebellion of Wu Zixu, the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng, and the death of the seventy-two nobles, they are all the reasons why the royal power acted recklessly and encroached on the clan power." Xiong Jing nodded and waved away the palace armor, and ordered the temple people to remove the charcoal fire, let the soup simmer first, and then began to speak. "I think that my Chu people used to be able to unite as one and have a blue road, but today they are like thieves to guard against each other, and if you don't want to kill all the Sanjin travelers and national officials. However, the matter has come to this point, and it is irretrievable, and this is the sadness of my surname. β
"Since the king remembers the surname Mi and has no intention of killing the ministers, please leave the capital." Although Gong Jia is gone, the people are still in Yingdu, and some county officials no longer dare to stay here.
"The venison is cooked, why don't you finish it?" Xiong Jing pointed to the copper tripod, glanced at Chang Jiang again, and asked Chang Jiang to invite everyone to the table, and then advocated the entrance, Zhong Le rang out, and began to sacrifice. Xiong Jing is the king, Zhu Yin is the minister, what Xiong Jing eats, Zhu Yin will sacrifice what to eat, sacrifice food to the case, sacrifice wine to the ground, and then three meals, and only after three meals do they start eating meat. The deer has been stewed for a long time, the meat is rotten in the mouth, and the soup is fragrant.
"Who wanted to fight with you before?" Xiong Jing was soon full, and he asked with interest about what had just happened.
"The king, it's a minister." A fat man with a stubble face walked into the court under the gaze of everyone, and Xiong Jing found him very cute, especially the pair of cross-eyed. Cross-eyed knew that Xiong Jing didn't know him, so he said: "Chenxiao Ao Shuo, the Yin of Huqiu will meet the king." β
The Zhou people have princes and princes, and the Chu people don't have so many titles, only Ao. Ao is the king, the leader of the Chu people. But not all leaders are qualified to be called Ao, and only those who have meritorious service to the Chu people and convince the clansmen can be called Ao, and later Ao gradually became a scold. After Ao died, he was buried in Ao, and he was called Ao Ao; If it is buried, it is called Ruo Ao; Buried in the sky, it is called Xiao Ao ....... Ruo Ao's and Xiao Ao's are the same as Zhuang's and Zhao's, all of them are based on the clan, but the former is the old name of the Chu people, and the latter is the name of the Zhou people.
Xiao Ao's clan is the son of Xiong Kan of Ruoao's clan, and the eldest father of King Chu Wu, this is the old man's family. Huqiu is on the bank of Rushui, ten miles downstream of Xincai County.
"Good! Give wine. Xiong Jing wine jue was full of wine and sent over by Chang Jiang. Xiao Ao Shuo was a little puzzled, but since he called King Xiongjing, what the king gave could not be shirked, so he could only drink it all.
"Not young, he will compete with Xiao Aoqing again in the future." Xiong Jing looked at him and smiled, harmless to humans and animals.
"The king does not kill his ministers and does not invade the power of the clan, how dare the ministers compete with the king." Xiao Ao Shuo is cross-eyed, but cross-eyed is not stupid.
"Kill or not kill the people......" The whole audience was watching, and Xiong Jing laughed again. It's not in the middle of it, but it's in the Qing and so on. Is it compatible with each other? Second, in the hands of Qing and others, how much is the armor? Can the three Zaiqing and others be angry? Fourth, do you dare to rebel? β
"The Great King......" Zhao Huang and others were shocked when they heard this, and the history of the left and right was also lost in vain.
"How?" Xiong Jing turned his head to look at them. "My Chu country has gone from a land of fifty miles to a land of thousands of miles today, is it the work of the Xiong clan? Definitely! It is the merit of the whole surname of Mi, the merit of the descendants of Zhurong, one for the benefit of the clan and embezzled his clan, and the relatives were also in the north. β
Xiong Jing said very seriously, Zhao Huang and the others were even more sad, they never expected the king to say such stupid things. This is a denial of the Xiong family's royal power, the royal power is unstable, and the Chu State will be chaotic. And all the Yin were petrified in an instant, they were not excited in their hearts, they were afraid. If things go against the norm, there must be demons, and there will definitely be no good results if there are demons.
"Yes," Xiong Jing looked around the audience, and at this time, the middle court was silent, and everyone was listening to him. "Xiong has been king for more than 800 years, and it is no longer easy. I don't think I can emulate my father, my father doesn't ask about political affairs, and all political affairs are handed over to Ling Yin Huangxie. It's just that Huang Xie was ordered by his father, so it's not appropriate. Therefore, it is not surprising that from today onwards, Yin should be ordered by Buyu, Zhuqing, and Yushi. β
"The King?!" Zhao Huang was the most surprised, although Nao Cunning could recover quickly, and Xiong Jing said that he would not discuss Yin within ten years. But ten years later, he has a great chance to be Ling Yin, but he didn't expect that Nao Cunning would not be Ling Yin now.
"The words of the king, the ministers are unknown." The old Cai Wen was pushed up by Zhong Yin, his teeth leaking and his words were slurred.
"It's easy." Xiong Jing suddenly had a feeling of cutting his own flesh, this is cutting his own flesh. "First, the royal power needs to be limited, what can and what cannot be clearly stated in advance, what belongs to the big mansion, what belongs to the Yin Mansion also made it clear in advance, and from then on, the royal power and the power of foreign dynasties go their own way, and the two are not related. The same is true of Yin Zhiquan;
Second, the secretary and others can recommend several candidates for Yin, and if these people are not allowed, they can be replaced. These two to three people were selected by the Qing and other foreign dynasties, and the winner was Ling Yin. Xiong Jing said this and looked at Xiao Aoshuo: "Xiao Aoqing, if you fight with the Qin army, how many armor can you make in Huqiu?" β
"......" Xiao Ao Shuo seemed to notice something, and he didn't hide it: "Your lord, Huqiu can produce three thousand armor soldiers." β
"If there are only two candidates for Ling Yin at this moment, Song Qing and Zhaoqing, do you wish Song Qing to be Ling Yin, or do you wish Zhaoqing to be Ling Yin?" Xiong Jing asked again.
"Minister......" Zhao Huang wanted to be Ling Yin in his dreams, he glared at Xiao Aoshuo, and almost said Elect me quickly. Song Yu was already old, and he knew the king's intentions, so the corners of his mouth were just smiling. "I wish Dr. Zhao to be Ling Yin." Xiao Aoqing said.
"Good!" Xiong Jing nodded. "In this way, there are 3,000 armor soldiers under Zhaoqing's command, and there is no armor soldier under Song Qing's command, if no one votes again...... If you vote for the Jiashi Yu Liangqing, you will be the Zhaoqing of the 3,000 Jiashi under your command as the Lingyin of my Chu State. β
"Huh?!" Except for Song Yu, everyone was stupid, it turned out that Ling Yin only looked at who had more armor under his command.
