At noon, the drums of the palace gate were beaten again, and the drums echoed in the palace where only the high-platform tents remained, not only frightening the birds and beasts in the partition wall garden, but also waking up Concubine Zhao, who was weeping and sleeping every day. As the queen mother, she had to hurry to the main bed, and what was strange was that Ling Yin Chengjie did not arrive.

"Who beats the drum, and what?" Under the scorching sun, Concubine Zhao, who ascended the stairs and ascended to the hall and did not see Ling Yin, had to ask in person.

"Who beats the drum, and what?" The servant relayed Concubine Zhao's words, and it was passed to the road gate not far away.

"The Empress Dowager, the honorable man is not guilty and the county officials are punished, and they kill people in the city, and the blood is drifting!" Zuo Yin Meng Zhengyu, the teacher school sacrificial wine Kong Qian, Zou County native Meng Zhao, the Xuan County native Wei Di and others shouted in unison, and behind them were nearly a thousand teachers and school scholars dressed in black, all holding a book of the Japanese in their hands.

The execution of the traitors of the county officials was nationwide, and the executioners were the honorable and the armor soldiers under the command of the honorable people. Some counties are remote and have not yet been known, and some counties are close, and the news reached Yingdu on the morning of the second day. The imprisoned county officials and traitorous ministers have heard of it for a long time, but they have never known whether to move or kill, and today the news of the slaughter came.

Most of the ministers are surnamed Mi, and there is no forgiveness for killing the county officials, only Zuo Yin Mengzhengyu, the minister of Ludi, the people of the counties and the teachers and schools are heartbroken when they hear the news. In particular, most of the teachers and scholars were indignant, and they were the first to go to Zuo Yin's Mansion to submit the letter of sight, and Kong Qian, Meng Zhao and others, who were studying in Zuo Yin's Mansion at this time, immediately asked Yin and Meng Zhengyu to go to the palace to beat drums and voice grievances.

The previous time the road drum was broken or it was a matter of making money buy Jane, this time the road drum was knocked but it was a reputation for killing officials and bleeding, and Concubine Zhao, who was not familiar with government affairs, couldn't believe her ears when she heard this, she asked blankly: "Why did Yushi kill the county officials?" ”

"The Queen Mother, the ministers don't know." Meng Zhengyu said angrily, "Since I have a reputation in the Chu State, there have been few indiscriminate killings of honorable people, and now all counties and counties are slaughtered, which should be the order of the Yin Mansion." Please ask the Queen Mother to urgently summon Ling Yin and ask what is going on. ”

"Please summon Ling Yin urgently and ask what is going on." After Meng Zhengyu finished speaking, nearly a thousand scholars in the audience shouted along, and the sound shook the palace.

"Yin Gong, Meng Zhengyu and others beat the road drums." In the Great Sima Mansion on the right side of the Maomen, Ling Yin Chengjie, who was sitting on the seat, was sleeping pretendically. Before he gave the order to kill, he knew what the consequences would be, but instead of being afraid, he felt a sense of revenge.

Of course, he knew what the county officials and traitors were, and this was the king's power to weaken and suppress the nobles. If there were no county officials, how could the king bring the nobles' fiefdoms under the jurisdiction of the royal court? In addition to deliberately instigating the Ying clan to fight with the Ruo Ao clan in the court, King Zhuang also sent a large number of county officials into the county under the jurisdiction of the Ruo Ao clan by royal order, and at the same time bribed traitors to find out the news inside the Ruo Ao clan. He has not done anything for three years, not for three years.

Now, after several turmoil in the country, the king finally allowed the restoration of the old system. Since the old system has been restored, all the county officials and traitors will be killed. Later, under the rule of the king, there was only one or several cities in Yingdu, and the counties outside Yingdu were all under the jurisdiction of nobles. The king is no longer the king of the Zhou people, but the Ao of the Chu people. State affairs, call the counties and towns to gather and discuss; Decrees, which shall be implemented with the permission of the county; The tax is no longer handed over by the common people to the Yingdu Dafu, but by the county to the royal court; Ling Yin, with the approval of the king, each county was elected according to the number of soldiers, ...... this is the state of Chu before King Wu set up a county, and this is also the real state of Chu!

Seisuke's eyelids slid and he didn't feel sleepy, and his breathing became even shorter as he thought about it.

"Gong Yin, the Queen Mother urgently summons the Duke of Xi to bed." Cheng Mo retreated after reporting just now, and now that the confessor is coming with a summons, he has to come again to confess.

"The Queen Mother?" Cheng Jie pouted, "The king is not in the palace, why should the queen call me?" Is this Zhao Guo? Is this the country of Qi? Is this the state of Qin? Cheng Jie asked the Three Kingdoms, these Three Kingdoms were once hen Si Chen, the Queen Mother was in charge, and the Chu people laughed at it.

"Yin Gong......" Cheng Mo knew Cheng Jie's temper, he was just hindered by the accuser's momentum, and felt that this matter should be settled.

"Tell the Queen Mother that Ben Yin is busy with military affairs and has no time to sleep." Seisuke yawned, waved his sleeves again, and sent Narumo away. He sent Cheng Mo away, and Cheng Mo sent the confessor away.

Holding the three verses of the festival and calling each other did not come, the confessor was discouraged and went back to bed to tell him, and before he finished speaking, Meng Zhao preemptively scolded: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable." Ling Yin despised the Queen Mother, extremely rude, and asked the Queen Mother to ask the Queen Mother to Ling Yin's Mansion to ask for the guilt. ”

"The minister asked the Queen Mother to ask the Yin Mansion to ask for the guilt." Meng Zhao said, and the rest of the people immediately echoed, and the soldiers in the audience also echoed loudly.

"Go to Lingyin's Mansion!" Concubine Zhao is not a cowardly person, and the letter submitted by Meng Zhengyu and others is extremely terrifying, and the county officials in the counties and towns across the country have been ordered to be killed by Ling Yin, how will his son govern the country in the future? Since Yin is not summoned, then she has to go to Yin's Mansion to ask what is going on.

Inside the road gate is the dormitory, and outside is the court. Surrounded by ministers and scholars, Concubine Zhao hurried to Ling Yin's mansion. Unexpectedly, Ling Yin's Mansion had already set up a guard, and rows of armor soldiers stood with spears, surrounding the gate of the mansion. Cheng Yu, who was good at arguing, stood there, and when he saw Concubine Zhao, he said: "Please atone for the queen mother, so that Yin Zheng is busy with military affairs and can't see each other." ”

"What kind of military affairs are so busy?" Concubine Zhao was already displeased, "Please Ling Yin come out!" ”

"Empress Dowager, Ling Yin is busy with military affairs, and after disposing of the army, he must go to Ruoying Palace to ask for guilt." Cheng Yu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Concubine Zhao to come back.

"Yushi is not guilty, and he kills Yingcheng," Concubine Zhao picked up the letter submitted by the minister, "This is ordered by Yin?" ”

"The Queen Mother, the minister doesn't know." Cheng Yu said again, he really didn't know what the head of the family had done.

"Queen Mother, if it weren't for Ling Yin's order, how could Yushi dare to kill people like this?" Meng Zhao said again, "The minister asked the Queen Mother to arrest Ling Yin to ask him about his crimes." ”

"Queen Mother, this order must be ordered by Yin." Wei Di also pointed out, "Quyang Xiaoyi alone killed more than 100 people, and there should be 1,000 people in big counties." If this person is not punished, how can Da Chu serve the world? How can all the nations be loyal to the king? ”

Quyang is not far east of Yingdu, if Quyang killed more than 100 people, how many people were killed in the whole country? Concubine Zhao's heart trembled, and she almost wanted to drip blood. These old husbands did not issue county officials before, but now they have killed all the county officials, and they want to put Jing'er to death every time. Thinking of the fact that they had killed their son every time, and that they had forced their son to go to the fake alliance of the Qin people, Concubine Zhao couldn't help but shout: "Take down Ling Yin." ”

"Queen Mother?!" Meng Zhengyu was shocked when he heard this, but he was immediately stopped by Meng Zhao and Wei Di.

"Guard, take down Ling Yin!" Concubine Zhao saw that the guards standing with spears did not move, and shouted again.

"Empress Dowager," Cheng Yu still had a wry smile on his face, "Ling Yin will go to Ruoying Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for guilt after disposing of military affairs." ”

"Why don't you listen to me?" Concubine Zhao didn't look at Cheng Yu, but at the armor outside Ling Yin's mansion.

"Empress Dowager," Cheng Yu had to tell again: "This is the county pawn of Xi County, and he is not subject to the king's order." ”

"How can this be true? This is the armor of the Chu State, how can he not be ordered by the Queen Mother. Meng Zhao shouted again with indignation. Please ask the Queen Mother to urgently summon the sanitation and take down Ling Yin to ask him about his crimes. ”

"Please ask the Queen Mother to summon the sanitation and take down Ling Yin to ask him for his crimes." Several times cooperated, every time Meng Zhao said a word, the scholars echoed it. At first, they were a little afraid of breaking into the palace, but now with the support of the Queen Mother, they are no longer afraid, and the shout of 'take down Ling Yin and ask him for his crimes' shook the palace.

"Who dare!" Narisuke's voice came from the other direction, and when he heard this, the scholars immediately opened a path. Cheng Jie, who was wearing a Xuanduan and was dressed in plain clothes, came in a hurry, followed by Cheng Mo, and a few Xixian soldiers.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Chengjie had to salute Concubine Zhao, "The minister is handling military affairs, and the general Yu Xie Yi broke the Qin army, and the king should be worry-free." Please ask the queen mother to return to the palace, and the minister will then come to ......"

"Seisuke, it's your order to kill the county officials?" Concubine Zhao lost her mind instantly when she heard that the king was worry-free, and Meng Zhao and Wei Di held up the book and asked, looking at the situation, they couldn't wait to eat Cheng Jie.

"Military affairs, how can you wait to know?" Seisuke snorted, not bothering to answer at all.

"Dare to ask Ling Yin, why is he not guilty? Doesn't my Chu country have a royal law? Meng Zhengyu stopped the excited two and asked in person.

"Wang Fa?" Chengjie knew Meng Zhengyu, and he said with a smile: "I really don't want the king's law in the future, Ben Yin has already drafted an order, and from next month, except for the Yingdu Zuoyin Mansion, the divisions of each county will be withdrawn." ”

"You're going to be defeated?!" Meng Zhengyu glared at Chengsuke, thinking that he was crazy.

"Yes, yes." Seisuke still laughs, laughs victoriously. "Meng Qing will be in Yingdu in the future, and there will not be another defeat outside the capital."

"How is the case tried? How to punish the culprit? How to govern the country? "Meng Zhengyu is already roaring.

"This has nothing to do with you." Cheng Jie replied simply and then ignored Meng Zhengyu, and said to Concubine Zhao, who had already come to her senses: "Our army has invaded Jiyi to rescue the king." Forgive the ministers for being rude, and ask the Queen Mother to return to the palace. ”

"Ling Yin is like this, he is not afraid that the king will ask for guilt after returning to the palace......" Concubine Zhao was no longer as angry as she was just now, but before she finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind her, hundreds of sanitation guards rushed over, and the leader shouted: "Quickly rescue the Queen Mother, quickly rescue the Queen Mother!" ”

The sound of footsteps was already shocking, Cheng Jie's pupils shrank when he heard the sound, and he quickly retreated behind the armor, and then shouted: "What does the Queen Mother want?" ”

The sanitation was not summoned, and Concubine Zhao was also confused, and the captain who led the team broke through the crowd and saw that Concubine Zhao was safe and sound, and he was greatly relieved, and he said: "There is a scholar who sues the minister, so that Yin wants to be unfavorable to the Queen Mother......

"Ridiculous!" Cheng Jie was furious, he looked at all the courtiers around Concubine Zhao and scolded: "Shameless! ”

"Who told you?" Concubine Zhao also sensed something wrong and asked urgently.

"Yes......" The chief looked up behind him, and no longer saw the scholar he had told him before, and those soldiers were wearing the same clothes and seemed to have the same appearance, and he couldn't tell who was who.
