"In the big mansion, can there be fifteen thousand gold?" Concubine Zhao asked the official of the mansion, and she remembered that this person seemed to be called Qingji.

"The Queen Mother, there is indeed 15,000 gold in the mansion, but the price is ......" This person is called Qingji. In the pre-Qin period, 'no harm', 'qingji', 'go to disease', 'no disease', and 'faith' were all common names, and in the West, such as 'Hannibal' and 'Alexander', were also common names. Hu Shang is treacherous from head to toe, and the amount is so large, thousands of gold Qingji are already frightened, not to mention tens of thousands of gold.

"Summoning Wang Yin." After thinking about it for a long time, Concubine Zhao, who was already moved, blurted out that she was calling Wang Yin.

Zhao envoy to Ying, the minister's mansion that was a little able to speak in the court and the central government all visited once. Jin Yu opened the way, righteousness first, so led by Dazai Shen Yinyu, for a time the courtiers of Yingdu said a lot of indulgence, but it was not Zhao Envoy who was active, and Yang Wenjun, who had turned most of the Chu State, appeared in Yingdu, and said that the Chu State could not be allied with Zhao; It is also said that Lü Buwei, Marquis of Wenxin, conspired with the State of Zhao, and that the attack on Chu was done by Marquis Wenxin, and the King of Qin actually wanted to attack Zhao.

Yang Wenjun was the one who almost became the king of Chu back then, and he didn't want Chun Shenjun to desperately cover the return of the former king who was hostage in Qin to return to the throne, so he was silent in the fief for more than 20 years. Now he suddenly appeared in Yingdu, and immediately caused a lot of discussion in the city. Fortunately, in addition to saying that he could not be allied with Zhao, he praised the new king even more, and he had the style of the ancestor King Wu and King Wen, and the ministers of Yingdu were a little relieved.

Yingdu is not an undercurrent surging, but a torrent of anger. With Zhao Meng and Qin He, the two sides are fighting for red faces. Some courtiers who are listed at the end of the dynasty, but want to fight for fame because of vain talk about state affairs, were immediately beaten to the head and bleeding - usually the king looks at the court, and there are hundreds of courtiers standing in the atrium of the court, but it has always been the front row of important ministers to speak, if the back row of courtiers dare to speak vainly about the government and offend the important ministers, the next court is a beating, and sometimes even killed.

The last time a courtier was broken or saved Zhao, I didn't expect the past to reappear nineteen years later. Because of the news of Yingdu, Xiong Jing will soon be able to know. At this time, he was on the ship in Yingdu in the east, and he was a little strange when he watched the flying news: "Why is this so?" It's just a political difference. ”

"Tell the king, this is the wind of the Three Jin Dynasty, and it was later spread to our country, and the courtiers fought like this." Right Shi replied that he was also not used to seeing the courtiers fighting like this, and only felt insulting to Sven.

After getting along with Right Shi for a long time, Xiong Jing discovered that he was actually a deep patriot. Whenever he encountered something bad, he said that it happened abroad, and then it spread to our Chu country, bringing the Chu people badly. It's nothing at first, but if you listen to it a lot, you will find it a little funny because of inertia. This time, Xiong Jing also smiled and asked, "Then what should I do if the ministers of Chu State have political disagreements?" ”

"During the Western Zhou Dynasty, if there was a political disagreement, it was a direct invitation to fight, and those who did not go were regarded as villains, and there would be deaths and injuries in the fight, and the dead could no longer speak." As soon as Right Shi opened his mouth, he invited to fight, which surprised Xiong Jing, which was not recorded in the history books. Think about it, how can this kind of private struggle be recorded in the history books. "The king strictly forbade the doctor to fight, so he learned from the Jin people and instructed the slaves to fight and kill; or take advantage of the king's acquiescence to destroy his people and divide his room. ”

"I see." Xiong Jing thought of the witch minister during the period of King Chu Zhuang, he eloped to the Jin Kingdom for Xia Ji's demon, and the Chu and Jin wars for a hundred years, so that Yin Zizhong had a personal grudge against him again, and immediately took advantage of the situation to destroy the clan. "It's better to speak out."

Xiong Jing was silent after speaking, and the Yingdu fought like this, which showed that the people of Alliance Zhao and Qin were evenly matched. Ke Nao, Zhao Huang and others did not give their own opinions, I don't know if they had no opinions or did not want to express their opinions before the court meeting.

Meng Zhao is inevitable. After the Qin State pacified the internal affairs, the next step was to destroy Zhao. It is necessary to save Zhao, the destruction of Zhao is followed by Han Wei, and the destruction of Han Wei is followed by Chu State. Based on an inaccurate memory, Chang Yu did not die and Lü Buwei actually went to work first, which is equivalent to saying that the battle between Chu and Qin not only did not slow down the pace of Qin's destruction of Zhao, but accelerated the process. In terms of history, after Lü Buwei's death, the Qin State attacked Zhao for at least ten years. And now? How many years will it take for the Qin State to destroy Zhao to speed up the process? Eight years? Six years? Five years?

Going down the river to the east, one hundred and twenty miles a day, six hundred miles is only a five-day trip. When Xiong Jing arrived in Yingdu, the whole country greeted him, but no one got off the ship after the king ship was moored at the dock for a long time. It was not the king who came down, but the coffin.

"Why is that?" Concubine Zhao grabbed her chest, and her heart suddenly lifted.

The rest of the courtiers were also full of public opinion, and they wondered why the coffin was unloaded from the king's ship. Fortunately, Da Sima Nao said slyly: "This is the fallen soldier of my Chu army. Da Wangren couldn't bear to be buried in the wilderness, so he ordered all the dead to be buried in the suburbs of Yingdu. ”

"Dead?! Isn't that a fierce ......" The courtiers' faces turned pale in an instant. The people who died in the war are all fierce ghosts, and they are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave, and the king wants to bury the fierce ghosts in the suburbs of Yingdu, isn't it to turn Yingdu into a capital of fierce ghosts.

"This is indecent!" Zhao envoy Wei Jia was also among the welcomes, and Dazai Shen Yin Yu shouted after hearing this. "I want to admonish the king, this matter must not be, absolutely not!"

Shen Yinlu rushed to board the ship to admonish, and Nao also sighed. He thought that even if the king brought the coffin of the dead into Ying, he would deal with it in a low-key manner, but he didn't expect that the whole country would welcome him, and the first to get off the boat was the coffin of the dead.

The coffins were made of freshly cut trees, unpainted, and the wood was white to the eye. There were many people on the king's boat, and after unloading the fifteen coffins, Xiong Jing, who had been waiting for a long time, disembarked under the embrace of the temple people and swordsmen. Everyone immediately bowed, and Shen Yinyu, who walked under the boat, also bowed. It's just that he didn't have time to admonish, so he listened to the sound of war drums. The sound of the drums was originally exciting, but the drummers who beat the drums beat very slowly, and when they got on the boat, they practiced specially at the request of the king, so there was a bit of sadness in the drumming.

"Etiquette ——!" The last palace guard, Chang Zhuang, went to the armor of his whole body and shouted loudly. The palace attendants who got off the boat immediately saluted the coffin, and Xiong Jing, who was the king, also bowed, and the ministers in the worship looked at each other and lost their color.

"King, this is a violation of etiquette!" Shen Yinlu couldn't hold back any longer, how could the king of a country bow to the dead of the common people.

"——! Start" Zhuang Qujian didn't know that there was him, and shouted the next password, and Gong Jia immediately lifted all the coffins that got off the boat.

"Your Majesty, this is a violation of etiquette." Everyone was dumbfounded, and Zhao Huang, who couldn't stand it, also stepped forward to persuade.

"What about disrespect?" Xiong Jing looked at these coffins, and all the palace armor that went down with the boat were the dead in battle, and the remaining more than 40,000 fallen soldiers would be specially escorted to Ying's burial by the royal envoy. Making coffins, transportation, and burial, no matter how much you save, it will cost you 10,000 gold. The amount of money is so huge that Xiang Yan, who has always loved nurses, and Lian Po, who often shares the weal and woe with the soldiers, also felt that the cost was too much, and suggested that it would be better to bury them on the spot. Only Xiong Jing insisted on being buried in Yingdu, and the same should be true for the waste of ten thousand gold.

Death is like life, there are all the things that accompany the burial in the tomb of the nobles, but because of the Zhou ceremony, the people who died in battle have never had this honor, and they are thankful for not being violent in the wilderness. Xiong Jing did not just bury the fallen soldiers for the morale of the army, but felt that if they were called to die in battle by their own orders, then he wanted them to die and bury them gloriously, which was the honor they deserved.

"Row ——!" Zhuang who had no distractions shouted again. The coffins of these comrades will be carried to a hillside on the northeastern outskirts of Yingdu, where a flat cemetery has been carved out.

The coffin was raised, and Xiong Jing shouted a word of disobedience to the ministers, and walked in front of the coffin, he was their king, and naturally he wanted to lead them to the final resting place.

"The king shall not disobey the courtesy!" Opening the way for the coffin of the deceased with the respect of the king, Shen Yinlu was shocked and angry, and his whole body was already trembling. He shouted so loudly that not only everyone looked sideways, but Zhuang Qujian also turned his head to look back.

"I'm a barbarian." Xiong Jing didn't raise his voice, and maybe even said it casually, but this sentence was like an arrow from a crossbow, and one arrow shot Shen Yinlu down and penetrated, and even the courtiers around him were affected. They watched Xiong Jing go away, and they couldn't make a sound.

"I'm a barbarian, and I don't speak to China." This remark came from the mouth of Xiong Qu, the sixth monarch of Chu State, and it has been more than 600 years so far. Two hundred years later, Xiong Tong, the king of Chu Wu, carried it forward again - in the thirty-fifth year of King Wu, Chu Vasui. Then he said, "I am not guilty." Chu said: "I'm a barbarian." ”

China is the Central Plains Zhou Dynasty and its sub-feudal states, Xiong Qu thought that the viscount of the Zhou Dynasty was too small, so he called himself a barbarian and proclaimed himself king. King Wu of Chu called himself a barbarian because he must be guilty of crusading according to Zhou Li, claiming that China naturally cannot crusade, but claiming to be a barbarian can be freely crusaded.

The 800 years of the Chu State is the 800 years of gradual ritualization. Before King Chu Zhuang, Chu may be called a barbarian country, but the monarch of Chu is after Emperor Yan, and outside the Zhou room, there are still Yin Shang. China is not equal to China, and the various ethnic groups in China are not only Zhou people who speak etiquette.

"How can this be?" Shen Yinyu groaned and got up, looking at Zhao Huang and the others almost burst into tears. Barbarian, the Chu people who were once barbarians are the most taboo for others to turn over their old accounts, as the foreign minister, if he goes abroad again, what kind of face should he show people.

"The king and the soldiers share weal and woe, and Xu loves the nurses and soldiers." Nao explained that he had never thought that the king would call himself a barbarian.

"Soldiers, common people. How can the king, how can he ......" There are also people among the feudal monarchs who speak, it is Ji Lingjun, he is the most supportive of Xiong Jing, it can be seen that Xiong Jing is not distinguished, and he can't help but feel heartbroken.

"Chu Wang Renye." Wei Jia played a round game, "All countries reward the survivors, and treat the dead in battle." Even the Qin State, which has always attached great importance to military merits, only rewards the dead who have worshipped the lord, and those who have not worshiped the lord are regarded as mustard and abandoned like clogs. ”

"Queen Mother," the younger brother had already walked away, but the mother still looked at it without moving, and Mi Xuan couldn't help but be a little worried.

"The queen mother is fine." Concubine Zhao was only worried about her son, and she didn't care about etiquette.

Outside the dock, unlike the ministers who were like mourners, the common people were shocked and suddenly their blood boiled, and their eyes were full of tears. However, due to words, they could only watch the king go away, and they could not express the feelings in their hearts.
