Chapter 61
"Haha...... Barbarians too...... Ha ha. From Xie Yi to Chu, the Qin envoy Changping Jun Xiong Qi, who chased Xiong Jing into Ying, laughed when he heard this.
The state of Chu and the state of Qin are somewhat similar, and for a long time they were called barbarians. Qi Huan, the first tyrant of the Spring and Autumn Period, led a large army to the Han River and Chu Realm, and raised the teacher to ask for guilt. The wind and the cow and the horse did not say a word, but it was the words of the Chu envoy Qu Wan who asked why Duke Qi Huan was here. Chu is a barbarian, until the king of Chuzhuang, four hundred years after the founding of the country, Chu changed the habit of barbarians and learned the Central Plains etiquette.
The new king said this, and Jing Chen was like a mourner. You must know that before Jing Guo only practiced etiquette, his uncle killed his nephew and seized his throne. The new king said that he was a barbarian, didn't he want those uncles to kill the king and seize the throne? Looking at the laughing prime minister, Li Si, who followed Xiong Qi to Chu together, didn't dare to ask more even if he felt a little weird, and could only relay some of the comments he heard.
"Fallacious." He made a great contribution to overthrowing LΓΌ Buwei Li Si, he was from Chu, and his teacher was the prince of Chu, so Xiong Qi naturally asked him to go to Chu with him. "When King Wu and King Wen, Jing was like today's Qin State, and the Central Plains countries talked about Jing and changed color, but after studying the Central Plains etiquette, there was a faint monarch like King Huai. The new king calls himself a barbarian, and he may be able to do something in the future. β
Changping Jun is nearly forty years old, and his words and deeds are no different from the Qin people, but as a descendant of the Xiong family, he can't help but be a little excited when he goes to Chu for the first time. After speaking, he saw that Li Si seemed to be thinking, and immediately asked, "Did Zi Si deliver the national letter?" β
"Your Majesty has delivered your credentials." Li Sidao. "Your Majesty has also met the teacher, and the teacher has allowed me to persuade the new king to make peace with Great Qin."
"Oh! Mr. Xun Qing is a Zhao person, why is he willing to lobby for my Daqin? Xiong Qi was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Sizhen to convince Xun Qian.
Although the teacher is a Zhao person, he had the ambition to enter Qin to help the king dominate the world in his early years. Today's teacher is the master of the king of Chu, not the master of the king of Zhao. As far as Chu is concerned, it is natural to be with Qin as the top and the alliance with Zhao as the bottom. "The master and apprentice will meet again, but fortunately, what we are asking for now is a truce, not an enemy of Chu.
"Great goodness." The more Xiong Qi listened, the happier he became, Zhao Envoy went to Yingdu first, although Yang Wenjun was a pawn, but Yang Wenjun was a Chu person, and some words could not be said too much. When he entered Yingdu, he felt that his aunt was really far-sighted - if he wanted to lobby the King of Chu, there must be concubines of the Qin State in the harem, otherwise he didn't know what the King of Chu was thinking.
*
"Does the king want to ally with Zhao?" The palace was sleeping, and the important ministers of the court and the central government gathered together to discuss the matter of peace with Qin and Zhao. Shen Yinlu was determined to ally Zhao, and he even suggested that the Qin envoy be driven out of the Chu State now, but Nao Cun, Zhao Huang and others thought that they should talk to the Qin envoy first, and if the Qin State was sincere in peace talks, it would not be impossible to ally with it.
"What are the pros and cons of Meng Zhao?" Xiong Jing asked. Among the courtiers, he trusted Nao's advice more, and at the same time believed in Zhao Huang's character.
"Mengzhao ......" Shen Yinyu also wanted to speak, but the king asked Nao cunning, so he could only stop talking.
"Alliance Zhao is to help me with Zhao, so that the Qin State will not dare to attack me again." Nao said slyly: "Our army rejects Qin, and the alliance Zhao rejects Qin, all of which are rejecting Qin." However, if the Qin envoy really wants to make peace with our army, it is not impossible to make peace with Qin. β
"King, Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and you can't kiss it." Shen Yinluo immediately interfaced. "Even if the Qin envoy is at peace with me, the untrustworthy and unrighteous Qin will never be trusted. Only with Zhao Wei, let go of peace. β
"Dazai is fallacious." Yin Luyangjun, the Grand Sima Mansion, was also among the courts. "Our army is allied with Zhao, although it can deter the Qin people, but if the Qin State attacks Zhao very urgently, will my Chu State save Zhao?"
"Chu and Zhao are two countries, paving cars and relying on each other, and their lips are cold and their teeth are cold. The State of Qin attacked me, the State of Zhao has sent troops, the State of Qin attacked Zhao, and the State of Chu should save me. All the times of conspiracy are all because of the selfish thoughts of various countries and their greed for small profits. In the battle of Lantian in the past, our army would definitely be able to pull out Xianyang after a long attack, but Han and Wei were attacked by the Qin people, and the army had to retreat. Now Han and Wei talked about this matter, they were heartbroken, if it wasn't for Han Wei who was moved by the small profits of the Qin people, how could there be today's difficulties. β
The Battle of Lantian was a battle of revenge for the defeat of Danyang by the Chu State, when the Qin army attacked Qi, and the troops in the country were insufficient. This is the closest Qin State has come to destroying the country, so whenever the Chu people mention it, they are not very embarrassed, and Han Wei mentions it with remorse. Shen Yinyu knew what everyone was thinking, and specially mentioned this matter, so that everyone would oppose Qin Mengzhao.
Chu and Qin have been married for hundreds of years, and they were all buried in the Battle of Danyang, which was bullied by Zhang Yi and the anger of King Chu Huai; And the catastrophe of the Chu State seems to have begun from this, Chuisha, Yan Ying, every battle is the loss of people and land, embarrassed, late to this day, actually looking forward to Zhao State to send troops to rescue.
"The minister asks the king to summon the Qin envoy to talk and then make a decision." Everyone's hearts were full of hatred for the Qin people, and at this time Song Yu spoke.
"Exactly. He also asked the king to summon the Qin envoy to meet and make a decision. Zhao Huang also said that he has always been cautious about such a major event.
"The minister also asked the king to summon Zhao to meet him. Zhao sent 200,000 troops to save me this time, and he summoned Zhao envoys first. Zhen Yinzi Mo also said, he, like Shen Yinyu, thought that Chu State should be an alliance with Zhao.
"There's one more thing." After Zi Mo finished speaking, he said: "The trial of the literary attendant is scheduled for the middle spring of next year, and the minister heard that the king does not want to ......."
"What good is it for the country that the literary attendant only speaks and sings?" Xiong Jing interrupted him. "In the world of great disputes, what country will conquer the city with songs? I don't think that in the future, I will be selected from the first three rows of the army in the Chu State to be appointed as an officer. β
"The king, so selected, with, and ......" Zi Mo wanted to say that he was not in harmony with the etiquette, but the king's sentence of 'I am a barbarian' that day broke the earth, and the etiquette was useless, and he 'and' for a long time finally had to bring out the ancestors," ...... It is not in line with the system of the ancestors. β
"Shi Qing, is this inconsistent with the system of the ancestors?" Xiong Jing asked Xiang Youshi with a smile, he had the most say in this question.
"When the first king was King Wu and King Wen, he could not be appointed as an official unless he had military merits," this question Xiong Jing asked before, if the right history changes its words, it is a bully, and this is all a fact, the edicts of the first king, classics, and history books are all recorded. "When the first monarch was Ao, most of the officials in the court were generals in the army, and if they were ......"
"Alright." Xiong Jing signaled that the right history didn't need to say anything more, and the more he went forward, he said that even the king of Chu himself was a general in the army, and except for the wizards, the rest of the court were all soldiers. "I have made up my mind, in the future, the officials of the Chu State will be selected from the three rows in front of the formation. This move is not to reuse the common people, but to make the children of my clan abandon literature and martial arts. Please think about how to choose. β
Xiong Jing's meaning is to change the atmosphere of the children of the Gong clan, so that they can abandon literature and follow martial arts, not to replace the noble with the lowly. Nao Cunning fully agrees with this, although Zhao Huang is conservative, he can still appoint the children of nobles, but there is not much opposition, after all, the Zhao family has many talents, both civil and military. Shen Yinyu, Song Yu, Zi Mo, and the left and right historians were reluctant, they were Wenchen, and their children did not practice martial arts.
"The king, in the world of great controversy, the children of the clan should abandon literature and follow martial arts, but the children have been studying literature for a long time, and they change it rashly, for fear of accidents. The minister thought that it might be reduced year by year, and that after ten years there would be no choice of scribes. Please think twice. "It was Xiu Yin and Sun Yu who admonished. This year's national war, although it is a good year, some rice and millet are still harvested, but this is a minority, and most of the grain has been harvested and put into the warehouse. Because of this, Xiong Jing praised him a few words just now.
"What's the difference between this year and 10 years?" Xiong Jing asked. Literary attendants are elected every three years, and there are very few scholars selected, but just like buying a lottery ticket, the scholars are trying to hope, this time if they don't win, there will be a next time, and there will be a next time if they don't win. The most recommended candidates for the appointment of officials in the state of Chu are recommended, especially in the low-level counties, and people with status can recommend people as officials after lobbying a few words in front of the county Yin Yi Yin. Otherwise, it is hereditary, especially for technical officials, who are overwhelmingly hereditary.
"Starting next year, scholars can transfer to military schools, and if they have talent, they can also become officials in the future." Take away the hope, and have to give another hope, Xiong Jing said.
"Military Academy?" Xiu Yin, I don't understand. It seems that this matter was discussed once, and the first king was still there at that time.
The mention of military schools naturally reminds people of Huang Xie's doormen. Zhao Huang asked, "Dare to ask the king, what should be done with Yin Huangxie's fief?" His disciples are very numerous, and if they take their fiefdoms, they will have nothing to eat, and they will disperse; If they do not receive their fiefdoms......"
Huang Xie's original fiefdom was the twelve counties of Huaibei, and after changing the title of Wu, he occupied almost the entire Wu country. Land requisition is already a foregone conclusion, and there is a real emphasis on how much land can be collected and where to receive. The resumption of land also involves doormen, and there are many doormen in Huangxie, among whom there are many talented people.
"This matter will be decided by Zhaoqing and Nao Qing together, and the result will be the same." Xiong Jing handed over the matter to Zhao Huang and Nao Cunning.
"King, what should I do with the doorman?" Zhao Huang seemed to have an understanding, and asked the doorman again.
"It's up to the two of you to dispose of it." Xiong Jing said again, and he suddenly thought that he should also set up the right and left prime ministers like Qin State.
"Do as you are told." The two of them shook each other in unison. Shen Yinlu, Zimo and the others were not at all happy on the sidelines - after this incident, the king will rely on the two of them in everything in the future.
"If it's something else, then step back for now." After discussing the government for a long time, Xiong Jing was also tired. "Tomorrow, summon the envoys of Zhao and Qin to go to bed before and after, and see what they say."
"Yui." The major matters were discussed, only the alliance Zhao or Qin remained, Xiong Jing said so, and all the ministers retreated.
"Gege ......" The empty bedroom suddenly sounded the woman's laughter, this is Mi Xuan, she was curious about how Xiong Jing discussed the court, and hid in the side room early, as soon as the courtiers left, she jumped out, and said in Xiu Yin's tone: "... Please think twice. β
"Don't mess around, be careful of the queen mother punishing you." Xiong Jing is young, but with an adult mind, he can drink Mi Xuan every time, as if he is an older brother.
"Alright, the court is over. You should go with me to Wule Tai to see the ...... of Sister, Shu, Li, and Rou. Mi Xuan read out a string of princesses, she came here to invite Xiong Jing to meet with the princesses, a royal brother who can defeat the tiger and wolf Qin several times, the princesses are not only curious but also admired. Mi Xuan volunteered to invite, and they were all waiting on the May platform.
