The long bronze runes are flipped in the hand, and whenever they turn to the back, the word 'Chu' with a patina looms over. The characters are inscriptions, and the strokes are so rough that they look like a painting: a person is trapped between the thorns, his clothes are ragged, and his behavior is difficult, like today's Da Chu.

This is the early spring of the twenty-fifth year of King Chu Kaolie, the Yan Dynasty is scattered, and the only one left behind makes Yin Chun Shenjun Huang Xie dare not look directly at the face of Xiong Yuan, the king of Chu, and his eyes can only fall on the bronze runes that are constantly flipping in his hand - since the failure of the alliance, there is no trust and tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, but today's court discussion once again made the two stand together.

"The High Priest is over...... What if? "Bang, the runes fell on a few, and the voice of the king of Chu was a little deep.

"The Great King: There are still ten days left for the Great Priest to order the sacrifice, and the ministers should have a strategy for the ten days." Chun Shenjun replied with a bow. He is nearly eighty years old, gray-haired, and no longer the chic appearance that accompanied the king of Chu to Qin.

"Should a widow be an eldest son?" After a deep groan, the bronze rune spun again.

"The king is in full bloom in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is still time to establish the eldest son." Huang Xie's heart was clear, and the king of Chu, who was over fifty years old and had a poor body, was said by him to be in the prime of spring and autumn. "The two princes are favored by heaven, and when they were born, they were five stars and pearls, and they were saints of the ancients. However, at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish between the young and the old. Liqiang Prince, afraid of losing Jing; Prince Lijing, and I'm afraid of losing my ......"

Huang Xie glanced at King Chu. Just now, Zhen Yin Zimo, Zuotu Zhaoxiao and others persuaded the king of Chu to establish the prince as soon as possible, and Song Yu, an old minister of the three dynasties, also advised the king of Chu not to be favored and merged, and the country should be determined as soon as possible. When it was difficult to ride a tiger, it was he who suggested that the matter of establishing a prince be pushed to the queen of the great priest's order.

Drag is only a stopgap measure. The two princes were born at the same time, it is difficult to distinguish between the young and the old, and it happened that the sky was out of phase, and the five stars were aligned, so that the whole Chu country said that one of the two princes must be the reincarnation of the ancient holy king. The king of Chu favored Concubine Li and wanted to establish a fierce prince, but it was the smart and polite prince Jing who Zimo and Zhao Huang invited the king of Chu to set up......

In the main bedroom, the monarch and the minister are alone, and on the winding steps of the grand Chu Palace, Xiong Jing, who is a prince, staggers along. He was not loitering, but he was doing his duty as a son—to greet his father.

'King Wen is the son of the world, and the dynasty is in the king's season, and the third day is '. This is the record of King Wen of Zhou as the crown prince in the "Li", saying that he greeted his father three times a day. Xiong Jing is not the crown prince, but he has a brother Xiong Han who was born at the same time on the same day, and under the supervision of his mother and sister Mi Xuan, he has to greet him three times a day.

"Father... Wang Jin'an... Ann No... How? Outside the main bed, Xiong Han, who was half a head shorter than Xiong Jing, looked at Cai Bao, the emperor of the King of Chu, and stammered and asked. After all, he was young, and his eyes didn't know where to look halfway through the conversation, and the temple people behind him hurriedly straightened his head and smiled apologetically at Cai Bao.

"Back to the prince's feet, the king is safe today." Cai Bao didn't care about Xiong Qiang's faux pas, after all, he was just a young child.

The bear is gone, and the bear is here. "Is my father doing today?" Xiong Jing bowed to Cai Bao before asking.

The same question came from Xiong Jing's mouth, obviously an adult, Cai Bao smiled. "Back to the prince's feet, the king is safe today."

"I have something to ask my father to see, is my father busy today?" Xiong Jing tilted his head and smiled. Originally, he could turn around and go back to the palace after receiving Cai Bao's reply, but he had something to see King Chu today.

"Please wait a little longer, prince." Cai Bao's eyes fell on the things Xiong Jing was holding, he remembered that last time Prince Jing had entered a small carriage with four wheels, and this time he was afraid that there would be something to offer to the king.

"What?" Cai Bao ascended into the room and stood at the door of the side room, and the king of Chu, who had sent Huang Xie, changed into a deep coat.

"Dare to tell the king: Prince Jing asks to see." Cai Bao bowed, he felt that he had come to the wrong place, and the king seemed displeased.

"What's the matter with him?" Xiong Yuan's eyes blinked.

"Prince Jing ......" Cai Bao said, "Prince Jing seems to have made a new ......"

"What is new?" Xiong Yuan's expression was complicated, he wanted to wave his hand to drive people away, but the exit became: "Widow...... Let him in. ”

Cai Bao glanced at King Chu in surprise, got up and exited the side room, and went out to summon Xiong Jing to meet him.

"The child visits his father." Xiong Jing, who didn't know why, smiled brightly, and saluted respectfully when he came in.

"Hmm." Xiong Yuan snorted, his son was dressed in a tie robe, although his hair was hanging down, his face had the color of a man. The disadvantage is that there is no trace of innocence in his demeanor, and he has an illusion that this is not an innocent and amiable child, but an adult with a deep city.

"Father, the child recently made a ballista and offered it to his father. This ballista can be shot up to 300 paces away with the twisting power of ox tendons, and can be used to kill enemy generals in a match. After the craftsman is familiar with it, he can build a large weight, and he can break the fortified city by firing dozens of catties of stone bullets......"

Xiong Yuan was thinking about why the son in front of him was so old, and he didn't listen to what he said, until he heard 'This crossbow... can break through the fortified city'. Such a remark suddenly made him a little angry: "How do you know that it can break through the fortified city, such clever words, who can teach it?" ”

The principle of the "I ......" ballista is actually very simple, and Xiong Jing, who has been mixing in the 3rd area of the SC forum for many years, quickly created a model. He also wanted to make real things, but this was a weapon, and it was the crime of the soldiers to make a ballista in the palace if they were not careful, so now that the king of Chu asked, he was speechless at all - it can't be said that the Romans did it like this.

"The child will swear. Ask the father to allow the child to make a physical object, and if he goes back to his word, he who cannot break the fortified city will be like the sun. Hope Cheng was disappointed, and Xiong Jing, who wanted to prove that what he said was true, couldn't help but swear, and Zuo Shi behind the King of Chu hurriedly wrote - Zuo Shi recorded that Xiong Jing was the prince of Yan, and he solemnly swore that what he said should be remembered.

"The shaft does not practice poetry and books, and knows all the tricks and tricks, the day before yesterday still let the boat fall into the pool, if the country is up to you, it will perish!" Xiong Yuan groped and overturned several cases while scolding, found the model of the four-wheeled carriage that Xiong Jing had offered last time, and threw it directly into his arms, and then pointed at him and shouted: "Why stand here, don't you go?!" ”

Xiong Yuan's anger made Xiong Jing inexplicable, but not only was he not frightened, but he wanted to argue with him. Waiting for Xiong Yuan to say something, he bowed again: "Dare to ask the father, can the child defend himself?" ”

"......" reprimanded, and the son did not have the slightest panic, but wanted to defend himself. The more evil Xiong Yuan's heart became, and he felt that he was deeply hearted, maybe today's incident was instructed by Zimo, Zhao Huang and others, but the historian was on the side, he had to suppress it in one breath, and said coldly: "The widow allows you to defend yourself." ”

"When a child reads poetry at the age of two, he learns "Duo's Micro" later, not that he does not learn poetry books." Xiong Jing first defended the first sentence, and then said: "The day before yesterday, it was indeed reckless to let the boat fall into the pool, and then we must be cautious, but there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good fortune and misfortune, and the child can only follow the order, and be safe with the encounter, and dare not violate the will of the gods." ”

"There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and people have good and bad luck", a thousand years later, the Northern Song Dynasty came out with this sentence, which can be passed on to future generations, all in this short twelve words of life ups and downs, fate is impermanent. When Zuo Shi Zhuyuan, who recorded the words behind the King of Chu, heard this, he was amazed and almost wrote flowers. At this time, Xiong Jing continued: "Those who are skillful and skillful, and those who are pleasing to women are also. The children are the most important weapons of the country, but the two are different. For example, the four-wheeled carriage, which is twice as large as the two-wheeled carriage, reaches 3,000 catties, and the transportation of grain and grass for the army is extremely convenient. The ballista is not a thing that pleases women, the light one kills the enemy, and the heavy one breaks the city, if the father does not believe it, the quasi-child will know it as soon as he builds it. ”

"Zi Shang has words?" Xiong Jing's words only moved the historian, but did not move the king of Chu at all, in front of the historian, he stared at his son with blazing eyes, and his words became more and more formal.

"The child is speechless." Xiong Jing's forehead sweated slightly.

"The carriage of the army can weigh fifty stones, which is more than three thousand catties, what good is the four-wheeled carriage? The ballista can shoot 300 steps, but Han Zhixizi is far away, and they are all 600 steps away, what is the benefit of the ballista? "The king of Chu asked one question after another, and the beads of sweat on Xiong Jing's forehead became denser." Fighting for favor, plaything and losing morale, widows are extremely disappointed, retreat. ”

In a daze, Xiong Jing somehow returned to Qiuhua Palace, and he had no appetite for lunch. He didn't care about the 'extreme disappointment' of the King of Chu, he was struggling with the fact that the four-wheeled carriage could not fit the two-wheeled carriage and the ballista could not compare to the Han crossbow. To be honest, he didn't dare to pack a ticket for the performance of the ballista, he only knew the principle, and he had seen people in the forum 3 area before and made a model. But a four-wheeled carriage can't fit a two-wheeled carriage, what is the reason? The density of corn is not large, it takes up a lot of space, he has seen a two-wheeled carriage, it is such a big place, a few people are crowded, how can such a small space hold three thousand catties of corn, is it to build up the corn?

Technically, it was confusing, and more importantly, it was a blow to confidence. He can stand out from others because of his 2,000 years of wisdom and skill, whether from the East or the West, which is the essence of human civilization. King Chu's words made him feel cold in his heart, could it be that the accumulation of more than two thousand years is actually worthless? How can it be. Carriages carried baggage until World War II, when the Germans, who were at least short of fuel; Ballistae were also used in trebuchets and artillery, so how could it be 'any good'?
