Yingdu Ling Yinfu, the matter of the iron mine on the east side of Liuyi has been discussed until almost dawn, outside the Xiaoyi Sang Tunnel in the southwest of Wei Realm, the knights of the Chu army who have only slept for half the night are waiting for the Yi pawn to open the door after the rooster crows.

Sang Tunnel was originally Cai Di, according to Zuo Shi, during the period of the King of Chu, the Jin division invaded Cai, Gongzi Shen, Gongzi Cheng led Shen, Xi two counties of the army of the Imperial Jin Division in the Sang Tunnel, defeated, the Jin people captured Gongzi Shen Li, from then on 'Zheng Guo did not dare to face south (close to Chu State), Chu lost China'.

"I don't remember that this is a battle around the corner, and it was the Chu people who let the Jin division win." Staying in the wild at night, hearing that the history of the left and right talked about the past of the Sang Tunnel, Xiong Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, yes." When Zuo Shi mentioned the Mulberry Tunnel just now, Right Shi wanted to stop it, but unfortunately it was too late. "Ziyi's rebellion, the analysis of the prince to Jin. The Jin people put him behind the carriage of the Jin Gongrong and thought it was a scheme. In the battle around the corner, the Jin people wanted to escape. Xi Gong said: 'Master Chu is light and slender, and he is easy to be shocked. If there are more drums and junjun, with the night army, the Chu division will escape. The Jin people are from it, and my teacher escapes. 'Hou Gongzi Shen, Gongzi Cheng led Shen, and Xi two divisions resisted the enemy, and were defeated by the Mulberry Tunnel. ”

It turned out that the Jin master wanted to escape, but as a result, he used the strategy of analyzing the public, and the Chu master was defeated. I used to get angry when I read this, but now he is not what he used to be.

"Right history thinks, why did Ziyi rebel? Did King Xianjun Zhuang participate in the rebellion, or was he held hostage? In the dead of night, Xiong Jing finally asked his long-standing doubts.

The Ziyi Rebellion was a matter of King Zhuang's accession to the throne. During the Chengwang period, Ling Yin Ziyu (Cheng Dechen), who led the army in the Battle of Chengpu, was killed, and his son Cheng Daxin succeeded Ling Yin.

At that time, King Mu was still the crown prince, and the merchant killed his father because he wanted to change the crown prince, leaving a bear's paw and difficult to understand. Although it is not explicitly stated in the history books, this move must have been tacitly approved by Ling Yin Cheng's heart, and the reason why Cheng Daxin acquiesced should be related to the death of his father Cheng Dechen.

During the Battle of Chengpu, King Cheng did not fully support Ling Yin Ziyu, but the merchant minister, who was the crown prince, sent all the palace armor under his command to Ziyu. King Cheng was able to ascend the throne because he, with the support of the Ruoao clan, killed his brother Xiong Jian (the grandson of King Wu and the eldest son of Mrs. Wen Wangxi), who had been on the throne for five years. This murder of the monarch is not glorious, because it is under the pretense of the hands of the teacher, and the battle for the throne between Xiong Zhi, who ascended the throne two hundred years ago, and the third brother Xiong Yan, is just a duel between each other, and maybe even between the two.

In the past, King Wen returned to the capital after a defeat outside, and the Yingdu Da Yan fist was closed, and King Wen had to leave the capital to conquer the Yellow State, and only after winning did he dare to return to the capital. Courage is the most basic requirement of the people of Chu for the king of Chu, and because the king of Wen is not brave, the courtiers dare to close the door. King Cheng pretended to kill the king with the hands of others, either the people no longer required the king of Chu to be brave, or the duel before the battle King Cheng was not his brother Xiong Jian's opponent.

In the year of King Zhuang's accession to the throne, Qunshu (Huaiyi in the area from Huainan to Hefei) rebelled, causing Yin Chengjia and Pan Chong, the Taishi who was already the Yin (general of sanitation) of the ring column, to send troops to attack Shu, and the Zhuang King Taifu Ziyi and Gongzi Xie (before Gongzi Xie begged Yin but could not) launched a rebellion. The two threatened to make Yin Chengjia and Taishi Pan Chong guilty, divided their assets and concubines without authorization, and raised the walls of Yingdu to prepare to defend them, and finally sent assassins to assassinate Chengjia, but to no avail.

Hearing that Cheng Jia returned to Yingdu, the two heard the news and took King Zhuang hostage and fled to Xiyi, preparing to defect to Xigong, but when they went to Luyi (now northeast of Nanzhang County, Hubei), they were booby-trapped by the local doctor Ji Li and Shu Lu, and King Zhuang got out of trouble, and Xigong ran to Jin.

Xiong Jing didn't care, what Xiong Jing wanted to know was, what did the rebellion between Ziyi and Gongzixie have to do with King Zhuang? Is it really the two who held King Zhuang hostage, or did King Zhuang acquiesce in the rebellion of the two, so as to get rid of the Ruo Ao clan, who had dictated the government since his grandfather became king?

Xiong Jing's question was extremely sharp, if he wasn't the king, Youshi would definitely be angry, but Xiong Jing was the king, he pondered for a while and said, "Why does the king want to know about this?" ”

"No, I just want to understand why the Chu State has come to this point." Xiong Jing said bluntly. "Reading history books, I always feel sorry for Ruo Ao's family."

"The Great King." Right History has read much more history books than Xiong Jing, and his understanding of history is much deeper than Xiong Jing. "Since the king of Wu, my Chu country has implemented the king system of the Zhou people, and set up counties in power. However, the king of Wu was established, abandoned the Ao system and practiced the royal system, alienated the clans, and the initiator, and had no aftermath? ”

"What does that mean?" Xiong Jing knew that King Wu had killed the son of Wei Mao (Ao), and his nephew was self-reliant, but he didn't expect Ruo Ao to be involved.

"Although the first monarch Qu Ao is called the king, but my Chu country still implements the Ao system, the clan power is often above the royal power, and the major affairs in the country are discussed by the clans, and in case of disputes, the one with more armor wins. The armor is equal, so it is won by the strength of the clans of all parties. In each expedition, the gains are not owned by the king alone, but are divided equally among the clans. King Wu didn't want it, so he pulled down the city and hung it without sealing it, and took it for himself, and all clans complained about it.

The royal system was established, and the power of each clan was attributed to the king, and the Qu family was the great Mo Ao for generations, leading the army to fight, and its power was also taken by the Ruo Ao clan. If the Ao clan helped King Wu gradually reduce the clans, and he was killed by King Zhuang in the future, what kind of resentment did he have? ”

"Really?" Xiong Jing was surprised by the words of the right history, but the surprise was surprise, not disbelief. Before King Wu, the State of Chu did not have any official positions, and after King Wu, the State of Chu had many official positions, and he used to think that King Zhuang killed the Ruo Ao clan and weakened the State of Chu, but he rarely thought that King Wu suppressed the clan and changed the Ao system to the royal system.

"Yes, yes." The bonfire was reflected on Youshi's wrinkled face, he first nodded heavily, and then looked at Xiong Jing: "The king abandons the royal system and practices the Ao system, and the great goodness is also." If King Wu still practiced the Ao system back then, how could my Chu country be today? ”

"Not really. There were many states in the Spring and Autumn Period, and now there are only seven countries left. If the first monarch and King Wu did not practice the royal system, Chu Guosheji would have died early. Xiong Jing's implementation of the Ao system was not his original intention, his original intention was to restore the country, and then establish a large number of republics and the Qin people to the death, and the turmoil of the old clan distorted this idea.

"The minister is not so." You Shi also disagrees with Xiong Jing's point of view, "The death of the nations is mostly due to the death of the princes." The death of Jin and the generation of Qi are all the same. If the surname Mi exists, why will the state of Chu die? If the surname Mi is lost, how can the state of Chu stand? The royal system is the only one clan, how can it not die, the Ao system is the co-rule of all clans, although the country is destroyed, there is also a time to recover......"

"King, the rooster has crowed!" While Right Shi was speaking, Fu Jing and Xiang Chao rushed over, and the rooster was already crowing.

It was dark, but the rooster was already crowing. Under the rule of the Qin people, the Hangu Pass opened the door with a rooster croaking, and most of the cities in various countries also opened at this time. Xiong Jing looked at the Mulberry Tunnel ten miles away, and could only see faint lights, but fortunately, there were more and more of these lights, and they were getting denser and denser.
