At the end of June, it is the hottest time of the year. The court was open-air, and there were not one but dozens of deliberations, each of which had to be debated constantly, so from the next day, everyone sat on the ground. Of course, there are still four seats for the king, two or three seats for the princes, and one seat for more than 100 people; Worried that the elderly and infirm would suffer from heat stroke, the craftsmen who built the house hastily built a shed overnight to cover all the seats.

Around the court, many ordinary people and scholars watched from afar, and they could only see some people coming out of the shed and talking, but they could not hear any sound, but some scholars still put away their paper folding fans and whimpered: "It's so gloomy! I, Da Chu, will reign in the world. ’

Qin and Wei Hundreds of thousands of troops attacked, the reputation system was unpopular with the people, and the king said from time to time that Chu was barbarian ......, there were too many unhappy things, but seeing the ministers and people gathering in the court to discuss politics, and the king ruled with a bow, the vast majority of scholars were still happy from the bottom of their hearts. They will never agree with the Yan Dynasty's discussion of politics, the Yan Dynasty has already slept in the future, how can there be a foreign dynasty that is above board, and heaven and earth are all learned from ghosts and gods.

Wang defeated Qin Shi in Qingshui in June of the second year of Qingshui, the dynasty of the country, the enlightenment of foreign dynasties, the group discussion of national politics. This is recorded in the history books, and it is also recorded in the Dachu news. Those who are present do not know what effect this day has on history, only posterity dresses up this period of history according to their own likes and dislikes: those who agree say that it is the progress of history; Opponents say it's the dying throes of the aristocracy.

"At present, there is no way to know the geometry of the Qin and Wei coalition army, Chen Ying's first battle saw that this time the Qin cavalry not only had martial knights, but also Yiqu people who could shoot bows and arrows on horses and impact the army formation...... "During the day, he listened to the deliberations of the people in the court, and held a military meeting at night to discuss how to resist the attack of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, this is Xiong Jing's life in the past few days. I have already returned from Chen Ying, and they have brought the latest news, and the Yiqu cavalry is one of them.

"Yiqu has long been annexed by the Qin State." Xiong Jing's impression of Yiqu is only the battle of Yanying forty years ago, if it weren't for the long-distance attack of Yiqu's cavalry to take Dengyi and open the gate of the Jianghan Plain, the state of Chu would not have fallen to this point today. "They still have a fighting cavalry that can charge our formations?"

"It's not a sanitation army formation, it's a county soldier's military formation." Li He explained. "The cavalry finally broke through the military formation, if it weren't for the Yushi's expectations, there were cage boxes and dustpans and other sundries behind the formation, and I was afraid that the villagers of the North West Gate would also be driven out of the city by them."

"Damn it!" Hearing the word "city", Xiong Jing was vicious, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

"The king, the county prince and the county Sima have made a plea for guilt...... "More than 6,000 people died and countless people were injured in Beizhongmen, in order to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people, Chen Jian had to take the initiative to ask for guilt. Of course, this is also for show, at the time of the war, Nao cunning thought that there should be no extraneous branches.

"More than 6,000 lives, how can the word please forgive." Xiong Jing said angrily. "The officials of Chen County are the most in each county, and the slack of government is also the most in each county. What else do you say is not benevolent, what is really unkind are those officials, let Chen Jian Chen not roll me to Yingdu! ”

"Great King," Lu Yangjun also spoke, "Chen Bu is Chen Ying's guard, if he comes to Yingdu, Chen Ying will definitely be in chaos." Seeing that Xiong Jing was still tightly closed, he said again: "Great King, these people must not be underestimated, if the Great King really wants to punish the crime, they will sacrifice the city to the Wei people, even if they do not surrender, they will set the enemy into the city, and cover up these 6,000 lives with a greater disaster." ”

"The king, Fu Yin's words are reasonable, and you can't live with common feelings." Li also said. He knows very well what is going on in Chen County, and he knows even better what the officials are about, these people can overturn the entire table for their own jobs, and then blame the king.

"They dare!" Xiong Jing's lungs were about to explode, but everyone saluted and bowed, and those who shook their heads still shook their heads - not that they didn't dare, those people really dared.

"The king's heart of worrying about the people can be learned from heaven and earth." Nao took the lead and knelt down, "However, the Chu State has accumulated disadvantages so far, and it cannot be changed overnight. The minister asked the king to suspend the matter and appease Chen Ying. ”

"The minister also asked the king to suspend this matter and appease Chen Ying." And all the people knelt down, and as soon as they knelt down, they revealed a map of the world hanging on the wall. The Qin State has occupied half of the cities on the map, and its octopus-like tentacles reach out to the six kingdoms of the world. The State of Zhao has been trapped, Han Wei has long been held hostage, and if Chen Ying loses it, the door of Huaishang will be completely open to the State of Qin. But regardless of the lives of the common people, they were driven into the water by the Qin cavalry, and if such evil deeds were not punished, they would condone even greater atrocities.

"Get up, and finish the matter." Xiong Jing's voice did not carry a trace of emotion, as long as the courtiers finished discussing today's affairs.

After the meeting of the Great Sima Mansion, Xiong Jing, who returned to the main bed, did not change his clothes and sleep, but instructed the chief servant Jiang Dao: "Prepare the car, don't leave the palace." ”

"Where does the king want to go?" Chang Jiang was puzzled, the king was young, and he was not yet old enough to go to the women's market.

"What nonsense are you talking about." A lesson in Xiong Jing's impatience. Not long after Changjiang went out, a carriage left the gate and headed east.

The moon was empty, and there were no pedestrians on the street at the time of curfew, and the carriage went straight to Dongcheng Lianfu. Lian Po had already fallen asleep, but the eldest prince came, and the eldest son Lian Yu shook his father again.

"The Qin army has pulled out Chen Ying?" What is the situation of Qin Wei Chu now, Lian is quite clear.

"Not yet." Xiong Jing shook his head,

"Is that Chengyang?" Lian Po asked again.

"Not yet." Xiong Jing shook his head again.

"Chen Yingchengyang is in my hands, and the new Cai Qinjun can't be restrained, why does the king come to quarrel with the old man's dream?" There is a kind of joking blame in Lian Po's language, he thinks that the idea of the water battle of the Great Sima Mansion is very good, and the water battle outside the city of Daliang is enough to prove the combat effectiveness of the Chu State Boat Division, and the only deficiency now is that the number of new war boats is too small.

"The student wants to ask the teacher to be stationed in Chen Ying." Xiong Jing told the truth.

"No, no." Lian Po shook his head again and again, a few years ago, with the support of Chun Shenjun Huang Xie, he had been a Chu general, but unfortunately he couldn't, especially if he didn't accept it. "The generals of the Chu State will not listen to my orders."

"That student worships the teacher as a general." Xiong Jing's words shocked Lian Po, and some light shot out of his cloudy old eyes.

"Not at all." The restlessness in Lian Po's heart was still suppressed. "Chen Yingchu will not obey me."

"The students will go to Chen Ying with their teachers." Xiong Jing said all the plans, he would rather go to defend the city himself than drive Chen Jian and Chen Bu out of Chen Ying. The Qin army suddenly attacked Chu this time, and they will never give up, and they will defend the city, I don't know how many Chu people will die in vain.

"The king is the king of a country, how can he go to Chen Ying's dangerous place in person?" Lian Po sighed, Xiong Jing could naturally let Chu pawn obey him, but it was not worth it.

"The major affairs of the country are in Rong. It is a major matter for the country for students to learn to defend the city from the teacher, so what about the danger? Xiong Jing heard that Lian Po no longer refused, and immediately smiled. If this is the case, in a few days, you should leave Yingying with the teacher and go to Chen, and after Chen, you will worship the teacher again as a ......"

"Don't worship me as a general, the old man just wants to kill the Qin people." Lian Po waved his hand, and the person also stood up. He has too much hatred for the Qin State, and even for the current Zhao State, he has many, many resentments.

"The king must not." The next night, after Xiong Jing revealed his arrangement, it aroused a lot of opposition.

"Why not?" Xiong Jing was angry: "What did you say to postpone this matter, for the sake of the overall situation, you can't punish Chen and Chen without permission, and now you can't find a way, why can't you do it?" Could it be that Pingxin Jun is not as good as Chen to defend the city? After Changping, Handan only relied on a five-foot guard for three years, can the Qin people attack me for three years? Next year, the Boat Division will have hundreds of large-winged warships, and then they can be forced to withdraw. ”

In terms of defense, even Bai Qi can only make the counter-plot remove Lian Po, Xiong Jing does not believe that he will be inferior to Chen Qi. If Qin Wei knew that it was Lian Po who was stationed in Chen Ying, he would probably have been deflated before he could even break his heart.

"Hey." The ministers looked at Xiong Jing and were completely helpless, and finally said slyly: "You guys should retreat first." ”

"Yui." Including Lu Yangjun, the ministers all retreated.

"The king can know that the county princes and Yins communicate with each other, so that more than 30 counties and towns have sued for adultery together in the matter of money buying Jane, which proves that the counties and towns are two or five couples." Most of the domestic affairs are in charge of the cunning Ling Yin Mansion, and Xiong Jing only focuses on major matters. Although he is not a personal worker, he still sees and knows much more than Xiong Jing. "If the king punishes Chen and Chen, the other county princes will definitely be dissatisfied."

"What about dissatisfaction?" The bear was unmoved, hard as an elm that could be used as a keel. "If you make a mistake, you have to punish yourself, otherwise who will take this king seriously? I, the Chu people, would rather die in battle than die in vain. ”

"King!" Nao wanted to kneel again, but he knew that kneeling was useless. After gritting his teeth, he suddenly said: "Does the king know that the king mourned the king because of this?" ”

"The first king mourns the king?" Xiong Jing looked at Nao Cunning with some puzzlement. Nao Tong mourns, and his clan is from Wang Zhen like Zhao's.

"The historian and doctor Yin all said that the king was happy after seeing Wu Qi's good news, and his heart suddenly broke down," the lights in the room swayed slightly, and the sly voice was small, and it sounded like a ghostly whisper in Xiongjing. “…… It is rumored among the people that the mourning king was poisoned by traitors. ”

"Poison?" Xiong Jing couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, yes." Nao Cunning continued. "At that time, it was also summer, and the county prince of Shenxian County paid tribute to two altars of nectar to mourn the king's food."

"Why is the county magistrate of Shenxian County, why is it ......?" Xiong Jing couldn't go on. King Chu Mourning is the King of Chu who supported Wu Qi's reform, and Shen Gong also remembered that Wu Qi visited Shen Gong twice before and after Ling Yin, and the two also defended whether to change the law or not. After the death of King Chu Mourning, Wu Qi was killed by the nobles when he returned to Yingdu to mourn, because the soldiers were in front of the king, and the new king punished the nobles seventy-two.

"Are you going to tell Bu Yu that this king is really fake?" Xiong Jing wiped his sweat, and he remembered a certain emperor of the Ottoman Empire, who is said to have raised cows and milked his own cows in the palace in order to prevent others from poisoning.
