"The King's Gift!" After Xiong Jing finished speaking, the servant beside him shouted that it was Zhou Tianzi who gave it to the Chu State, but in the entire south, it was the Chu State that gave the Gizzard to the tribes who came to pay tribute. In the past, it was a piece of bacon, and a few horses of plain silk sent the envoys (too small tribes may not even give them gizzards), but today the king of Chu gave ten treasure knives, and the envoy's gratitude is beyond words, and he can't wait to fly back to the tribe now to report the news.

After the gauntlet is given, the next step is to feast. The Yan Dynasty is not small, except for the atrium in the middle, the halls and rooms on all sides can also hold banquets; The same is true of the main court, compared with the wide atrium, the surrounding hall is only a little narrower than a quarter of the width, plus the room between the hall and the court, the clamp on both sides of the room, the room on both sides of the hall, the two dynasties set up a banquet to invite a thousand people.

The bells in the palace rang and the court outside the gate was finally opened to the common people, and the witches who danced around the fire themselves jumped with them. Outside the court, the big city behind the palace, the east city and the west city, as long as the place is a little wider, also lit a blazing bonfire. No one stayed at home, they were all outside cheering to celebrate the good year. The only regret is that in the entire Yingdu, except for the hundred officials and craftsmen who built the mansion, all the men went out to fight, so that it was difficult to see the joy of men and women on the night of the carnival.

"The army of Chu is still in Chengyang, and it is rumored that it has agreed with Qin to fight a water war, and after the water war, the blood will be settled." did not go to the court with the common people to join in the fun, Xiandui took Bai Yi and others only to watch the flowers in the Yingdu City. In the kingdom of the heavens, only the Chu sacrifice is at night, and the ancient rumor says that the sacrificial cattle used in the first sacrifice of the Chu state are stolen, so all the sacrifices are made at night in the future.

"The king has been envoyed from Qin, and he will not join forces with Chu Zhao. Today, only Chuqi and Qi can be at peace. Zixian, when will I see the King of Chu? "Before Bai Yi entered Chu, he had already learned the news that Wei State would not participate in the alliance. Wei is not in harmony, and Qin is making peace with Chu, so the unlucky one can only be Zhao.

As soon as Bai Yi said that he saw the King of Chu, Yizan, Ziyi, and Kong Xiang all looked at Xiangao, everyone came to Chu because Xiandui could see the King of Chu, if they couldn't see it, then this time it was in vain.

"After the sacrifice, you can see the king of Chu." Xiandui himself couldn't figure out when, but the words that came from the palace were like that.

"After the sacrifice, the king of Chu wants to see the honorable soldiers in the army, and he said that he will feast for ten days." Yizan shook his head again and again, very unexpected.

The people of Chu must be crazy. The soldiers who died in the war said that they would all be buried in Yingdu, and thirty or forty thousand people were buried, which was a huge amount of money. The coffin is only three or four hundred yuan, and the key is that the deceased must be buried with twenty-nine pieces of clothing, so that the number of days is counted. Although one piece of clothing is less than 100 yuan, 29 pieces cost thousands of dollars, and it costs at least 20,000 gold to bury them like this.

So it is with the burial, and so it is with the reward. The army is all in Chengyang, and instead of sending wine and food as a reward, the meritorious soldiers who have worked the people and lost money all go to Yingdu for a banquet, and it is a banquet in the palace for ten days, how much does it cost!

Diligence and thrift can lead to a family, and the Yi family can have today's family wealth, which is inseparable from thrift. Of course, he is not as thrifty as Cao Bing's in Ludi, the so-called 'leaning and picking, looking up and taking', Cao Bing's requires his family to gain something from every move, otherwise he will not move. Today, the people of the Lap Festival invited Cao Bingyi to go out to have a look, but Cao Bingyi said that it was not profitable, but he didn't go out.

Yizan shouted in his heart that the Chu people were defeated, but he was just a Wei businessman, not a Chu minister, so he could only shake his head. He mentioned the palace banquet, Xian Dui immediately wiped his sweat, and said: "Even if the banquet is ten days in a row, we can see the king of Chu again after ten days." ”

"Ten days later, it will be the first year of the year, and the king of Chu will be newly established, and it is time to see him in the temple." Bai Yizu was the minister of Wei, and his understanding of state affairs was deeper than that of Xiandui and others. "The wax sacrifice is presided over by the king of Chu, and the king of Chu must be in charge after the temple is seen, and there are many state affairs at the beginning of the throne, and it is estimated that it will be between spring and summer to see us."

Yizan heard that the meeting was going to be in spring and summer, and he was immediately a little disappointed, so it was better to return to Wei first, and then come to Chu at the turn of spring and summer. He thought so, but Zi Yu said: "The king of Chu is not in the past, is it really pro-government?" ”

"It's a matter of worship, why can't you be pro-government?" Bai Yi has a family tradition, and his political comprehension is extremely high.

"Twenty men are crowned, this is etiquette." Ziyu took the position of opponents and tried to refute. "It is the king of Qin, who was also crowned pro-government at the age of twenty-two, and the rebellion of Chang Yu and the resignation of Wenxin Hou are all related to this. The king of Chu is not in charge and is pro-government, and there will be dissatisfaction in the court. ”

"Zi Yu has been a teacher in the Ghost Valley for a long time, so the teacher has not said the difference between Qin and Chu?" Bai Yi asked with a smile, he knew where Master Ziyu came from.

"The family teacher has not spoken, and the classics of the valley have not been seen. However," Ziyu said, "even if the power of Chu is mostly in the county, and the king of Chu is not in charge and is in power, it will be opposed by the courtiers, which is a big violation of the law of etiquette!" ”

"The king of Chu said: I am a barbarian!" Bai Yi's smile was even worse, he liked King Chu more and more. "The ritual law is the law of the Zhou people, and the Chu people are barbarians, how can they practice the Zhou rites? On the bank of the Qingshui River, the king of Chu and the soldiers lived and died together, and after the war, they spent a huge amount of money to bury the dead soldiers, and now they have a banquet for ten days, and they are rewarded for their merits. Which minister did Ziyu think would dare to oppose the King of Chu?

When Huang Xie was Ling Yin, everyone in Chu knew that Chu had Ling Yin but did not know that Chu had the king of Chu, but Huang Xie died, Wu Di was all collected, countless guests were lost, and Chun Shenjun was just like that. Even Chun Shenjun is like this, what can the rest of the courtiers and nobles do? Do they dare to allow the king of Chu to govern? Why didn't they allow the king of Chu to govern himself? ”

'I'm a barbarian! It's like a stick on the head, and with one stick, Ziyu was beaten from the Zhouli world to the barbarian world. Indeed, his reason was only that the twenty crowns prescribed by the law of etiquette were twenty crowns, and the barbarians needed twenty crowns, and they did not have crowns in the first place.

"The King of Chu wants to practice the Qin Law?" The more he thought about it, the more excited he felt, he was born alone, and when he was in school, he wanted to become a great brother. If it can be reused by the king of Chu, the monarch and the minister will be inseparable, and it may be able to achieve a great cause.

"Pro-government is not a change of law, and the state of Chu is not a three-jin." Bai Yi knew Ziyi's thoughts, "If the Chu State implements the Qin law, the Chu ministers will not obey, and the common people will not obey either." If there is a mistake, it will be a pawn, and if there is no money to be paid, it will become an official slave, and if it is heavy, it will be a sword, a sword, a slash, and a palace, until the head of the car is cracked.

What are Chu people? There is a way to obey, and there is no way to rebel first, this is the Chu people. According to the book of Han Fei in South Korea, most of the Chu people are five beetles, and Zi Yu thinks that the king of Chu can clear the five beetles and then fast? ”

"What about Rannanjun?" Not long after Ziyu entered Chu, he was not clear about the habits of the Chu people, but he saw the example of Nanjun. "Nanjun was originally the hometown of the Chu State, why did you practice the Qin Law now?"

"Nanjun really practices the Qin Law?" Bai Yi looked at Ziyi's gaze with some regret. "It's Nanjun who practices the Qin law, and Ziyu can know how much Qin people kill people in Nanjun? How much is it to move people? Today's Nanjun is no longer the hometown of Chu State, but only a county of Qin State. If the state of Chu implements the Qin law, if the Chu people can't kill all the nobles, they must also move the nobles, and after the nobles go, they still have to clear the five beetles in the country.

And today's world is not the world of Shang Jun, Chu State is not in danger of Qin State Kuohan, Wei State is now from Qin State, Qin, Wei and Qi are all enemy countries in Chu. At the time of the change, Chu was in turmoil, and if there was a war, it would be vulnerable. Ziyu thought that the King of Qin would sit back and watch the Chu State change its law and try to become stronger? The opportunity for Chu to change the law was only before King Chu Wei, and there was no possibility of changing the law after that. ”

Perhaps because he is also a defender, Ziyu always feels that the Qin State is strong because of the change of the law, such as the Chu State can change the law, although it will not defeat the Qin State and fall overnight, but it can still be done alone. His thoughts are not right or wrong, but there is always a bit of wishful thinking.

The state of Chu is no longer a strong country, even if it is a strong country, there must be a favorable environment for changing the law, and it is best to have a natural danger that one man is the key to ten thousand people, and these Chu countries do not have it at all. The change of law will definitely cause turmoil, and the two countries may take the opportunity to send troops, which has precedent; Even if there was no chaos in the law change, the Qin State would attack the Chu people and promote them to cause chaos, which also has a precedent

——The Chu-Qin War that occurred this year, Bai Yi thought that this was a war to promote chaos by the Qin State when the King of Chu Lie was down and the crown prince was not established. King Chu Lie's heart was sick and he had heard about it in the spring and summer, and of course Qin Guo knew about it. The purpose of sending troops should be to support a certain prince to become king, so that Chu and Qin will be friendly from now on, Chu will no longer save Zhao, and Qin can calmly destroy Zhao.

It's just that things jumped out of the control of the Qin State, the most obvious thing is that Yu Ying, the king of Chu, is surrounded by rebels, and he actually relied on the twelve palace armor to break the 5,000 rebels, forcing the rebel general Jing Hua to flee to other countries; And the prince who volunteered to be martyred for his father, Bai Yi also had deep doubts about this: there has been no case of noble burial in Chu for hundreds of years, how could a prince suddenly be martyred? The most reasonable explanation is that the prince of Shu colluded with the Qin people and rebelled while the king was not in Yingdu, but the rebels were defeated and the prince was not dead.

Then there was the Battle of Qingshui, and the Chu army actually won. If the Chu army is defeated, Xixian may be saved, but Chengyang must not be saved, and Chengyang, and even Xixian, may be a gift from the king to Qin, and this deal has also been broken by the current king of Chu.

Bai Yi recounted the reason why the Chu State could not change the Qin Law, but when he talked about the news he had obtained during this time, he instantly sketched a huge but unfulfilled conspiracy in his heart; Although Ziyu is wishful thinking, but if he can enter the Ghost Valley to learn, he is naturally extremely smart, and he can't help but feel disappointed when he thinks about the joints: If the State of Chu does not change the law, what can he do for the King of Chu?

Under the light of the bonfire, the court was as bright as day. By this time the witches were gone, and the women were making noise around the fire, and the children were running through the crowd. In the royal palace, the etiquette that the courtiers had previously adhered to was gone. From time to time, the servants who offered dancing music were pulled into the banquet by them, forcing them to drink together, and more people got together to do six games, and the shouts and regrets when winning or losing filled the whole hall.

Xiong Jing was also a little drunk, he only felt that the banquet under the steps was like the battlefield of the day, and the shouting sound was like the roar of the soldiers when they were fighting. The State of Chu, this is the State of Chu, and he is the king of the State of Chu.
