After a night of fear and tossing, at noon, when the news of Prince Lijing came, Concubine Zhao's concubine and the temple maid of Qiuhua Palace were relieved and happy. Prince Jing is the crown prince, Concubine Zhao is the queen, the queen is no less than the young lady, it is impossible to live in this Qiuhua Palace anymore, but to move to the middle of the concubine palace to build the largest Ruoying Palace; Prince Jing also had to move to the easternmost east of the inner bed, the East Palace, where the prince lived. In the past, the prince was not established, and these two palaces have been empty since they were built, and today they are finally going to live.

In Qiuhua Palace, the temple people and palace maids are packing up their things, so that the king can move over the temple after the sacrifice. But Concubine Zhao was not happy at all, and looked worried. Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she found that something was wrong with Xiong Jing.

"Jing'er still doesn't want to be the eldest son?" Concubine Zhao held her son's hand, her eyes were full of love. She didn't expect that what Brother Wang's envoy couldn't do, it was accidentally realized by her son. The mother is precious by the son, and from now on she will be the concubine of the harem.

"Since the child is the greatest, he should have the responsibility of the greatest. It's just ...... "After the king of Chu fell asleep, he returned to the Qiuhua Palace Xiong Jingfang to recover some clarity. As a crown prince, with the current situation, there are many things to do, but where to start?

"Just what?" Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of approval, "Jing'er is worried about Huang Xie?" ”

If the king of Chu wants to set up Xiongjing, Huang Xie wants to establish Xiong Huang, and Huang Xie does not dare to kill the king and establish himself as the king, then the benefits can be traded. The final result was that Xiong Jing was the crown prince, and Huang Xie was still Ling Yin, until Xiong Jing was crowned and took power. At the end of the transaction, when the king of Chu took back the personnel power of Gaofu, Huang Xie not only asked Gaofu to transfer to Lingyin's mansion according to the routine, but also asked the prince to take Xun Qing as a guarantee, and at the end of the day, he exchanged Xun Qing with him: he was the protector, and Xun Qing was the Fu. Xiong Jing was present for the whole transaction, which was what the King of Chu wanted him to understand what he had gained and what he had paid for this transaction.

Like the other states, the state of Chu also had two sets of financial systems, one was the Ling Yin Mansion under Ling Yin, and the other was the high government under the royal family, but the power of the high government of Chu was much weaker than that of the Qin Shaofu, which was also subordinate to the royal family. The Shaofu of the Qin State controlled the military manufacturing of the whole country, and the tax revenue was twice that of the Prime Minister's Mansion; The Gao Mansion of Chu State could not do this, and the Mansion responsible for the manufacture of weapons was still under the jurisdiction of the Ling Yin Mansion. The income of the Gaofu of Chu was also much less than that of the Shaofu of Qin, not because of the difference in the area and area of the two countries, but because the tax rates of the customs and cities attributed to the income of the royal family in the two countries were different - the city tax of Chu was 12 and the tariff was 101, while the Qin State was 'heavy on rent, making ten times the cost of its simplicity'.

However, even so, the income of the Gao Mansion, which has the tax revenue of Shanhai Chize, is still more than that of the Ling Yin Mansion, and in addition to paying for the expenses of the palace, these money also provide for 40,000 royal pawns, and the rest is transferred to the Ling Yin Mansion. Not only is the annual income of the Yin Mansion small, but many taxes are actually not collectible. Not all the taxes of each county are paid to Yingdu, and some or a large part of them are directly spent in the county, such as supporting the county officials and officials, repairing roads and cities.

In the past, Wu Qi's so-called 'the ministers of the Chu State are too heavy, and the feudal monarchs are too many' is not a general talk. When he said ministers, he actually meant county magistrates. Chu County, which has no official system and lacks power constraints, is like an independent small country under the rule of County Yin, Wu Qi dared to move the feudal monarch and persuaded the king of Chu to 'accept his lord's Lu in the third generation, not because the feudal monarch is harmful, but because the feudal monarch has little energy. Fengjun has private pawns, and Ruo Ao, who has the most private pawns and has rebelled, is only six pawns. The military system of the state of Chu is widely 30 times, each wide has a pawn, and the six pawns are only 180 times, but Chen, Cai, Butang and other large counties are 'endowed with a thousand times'. The moving Fengjun is just killing Wu Qi, and the moving county Yin is going to kill the Chu State.

This was the case more than a hundred years ago, and it is even more true more than a hundred years later. After his death, the best thing to do before his son was crowned was to base himself on Gaofu, or take Dongzhou Sangu and Xizhou Longma, or smelt iron for the big and grinding the mirror for the news, so as to strengthen the king's division and build the king's power. As for how to clean up those county Yin after the crowning, and how to deal with the Qin State, which accounts for nine of the world, he can't control it anymore.

In addition to letting his son observe the whole process of the transaction, the king of Chu also explained the reason for such a transaction in detail afterwards, and Xiong Jing, who received this empowerment, was not worried about Huang Xie at all. What Ling Yin, isn't he the general representative of the interests of the county Yin with diplomatic powers? As long as he does not touch the interests of the county yin, the bureaucrats, the county yin will not move himself.

"Children are not afraid of yellow breaks." Xiong Jing recalled his father's teachings in his mind, and was not worried about Huang Xie. "If the child is only worried about his father's illness, can't he be cured?"

"Jing'er ......" Concubine Zhao's worries are not only about her son, but also about her husband. The doctor Yin once said that the king's time was short, which meant that she would soon become a widow. What about becoming a queen, the queen didn't have many days to become the queen mother.

"Mother, I... I ......" Xiong Jing stood up suddenly, but he didn't sleep all night, and he was in a hurry to get up, and his body inevitably shook twice. Concubine Zhao was shocked and hurriedly hugged him. Heart disease can be inherited, but my son is also sick.

"I'm fine." Xiong Jing pushed his mother away, he was eighty percent sure that his father had a heart attack, and the medicine he first thought of was nitroglycerin, but he was shot dead as soon as these words appeared, not to mention glycerin in this era, even medicinal nitric acid can't be made. He now thinks of aspirin, and SC said that aspirin is willow bark juice. "Mother, where are the willow trees?" Xiong Jing Road.

"Willow?" Concubine Zhao was puzzled. "Why is Jing'er looking for the willow tree?"

"Willow bark relieves pain." Xiong Jing wants to go out. Mi Xuan suddenly appeared behind him, not seen for more than two months, she was a little more dignified and respectful to the Mu Sect, but she still couldn't change her skin, as soon as she entered the room, she smiled and worshipped: "Mi Xuan meets the eldest son." ”

My sister is a sub-worship, and the king's reward is only a sub-worship. Xiong Jing's face became bitter, and Concubine Zhao blamed: "Jing'er is already the eldest son, and Xuan'er, as the eldest sister, must be polite in the future, so as not to be laughed at by the courtiers." ”

"I know the mother." Mi Xuan stuck out her tongue, and after speaking, she pulled Xiong Jing again, she still smiled: "I will be the eldest son and wife from now on." ”

In the eyes of future generations, Mi Xuan is not beautiful, or in other words, there are few beautiful women in the palace, including Concubine Zhao's specially selected concubines. But after all, they are sisters and brothers, and Xiong Jing's feelings for her are no less than those of her mother. Although Xiong Jing did not give up and immediately went to find the willow bark, he deliberately joked: "I am already the eldest son, and I will marry you to the Qin State for the king in the future." ”

Qin is the country of tigers and wolves, and the Qin people are brutal, which is the education and indoctrination of the sisters and brothers when they were children. As soon as Mi Xuan heard that she was married to Qin Guo, she was frightened, and grabbed Concubine Zhao to be coquettish, who expected her younger brother to go out directly after speaking, and she grabbed her younger brother again, "Brother Jing doesn't want to see me?" ”

"Jing'er, why are you looking for a willow tree?" Concubine Zhao also stopped her son, the king was sick, everything was changeable, and she was worried that something would happen to her son.

"My father's heart is painful, and the willow bark can relieve the pain." Xiong Jing had to turn back and tell him.

"How do you know that willows can relieve pain?" Concubine Zhao took two steps forward and pulled her son back. "As the eldest son, you must be more cautious in your words and deeds."

"Mother, I'm just going to peel a few pieces of willow bark." was dragged by Concubine Zhao and Xiong Jing was very helpless. When he found willow bark, he didn't dare to give it to his father directly, and he must have found someone to try it out before, and it was said that drinking too much willow bark juice would cause stomach bleeding.

"You can let the temple people pick it up." Concubine Zhao still refused to let go. "You wait to sit down, the concubine has something to order."

Concubine Zhao is a royal family, although the things in the palace are not taught, her heart is known. Now that the king is ill, she still has to solemnly advise her on some things. She is like this, in front of the bed of King Chu in the main bed, Concubine Li, who is dressed in a plain green dress, is already crying like a pear flower with rain, her delicate body is shaking in her tears, and her miserable appearance is still pitiful.

After entering the palace, he enjoyed the king's favor alone, and when he gave birth to a child, he said that he would become the king, but he didn't think it was just an empty joy. Crying and crying, Concubine Li choked and said: "If the king goes, the concubine should accompany ...... Han'er."

The heart was already painful, but the bear element came to pity Concubine Li and listened to her cry all the time. Now seeing that she is going to be buried with her, he clasped her hand and sighed: "The widow is not filial, he first established Nazhou in Qin, and he will die and move to Ying. Twenty-five years did not return to the old Ying, did not collect the ancestral land, and the Yellow Spring had no face to the first king. You and Han'er go with the widow, break the king's heir, and want to harm the widow? ”

"King!" Xiong Yuan's words were full of self-blame, but there was endless love between his fingers, and Concubine Li cried again.

"If the widow goes..., he should be sealed in the tomb." King Chu gasped. "The tomb is rich, and it is in the south of the river, so it can be sealed."

"The king......" Concubine Li came to cry because she got news from outside the palace. The burial is just a rhetoric, not to mention that at this time the countries have been martyred, that is, hundreds of years ago, the Chu State also took the initiative to be martyred, from ancient times to the present, there is no example of the burial of princes. The reason why Concubine Li said this was that she also had the intention of asking for a good fief for her son.

The tomb is in the east of the river, and it is the city of Xuancheng for later generations. This is one of the most important commercial towns on the south bank of the Yangtze River, although it is not as good as Jiuzi and Guangling, but there are more than 5,000 households, and the most important thing is that Xiongjing is ready to make paper here. Feng Xiong is fierce here, and his descendants will be rich and prosperous in the future. I didn't want Concubine Li to cry: "Cheap concubines and Han'er, don't dare to live on the side of the eldest son, please seal the king far away." ”

"Far away?" Mo Zi's hand stopped, and Xiong Yuan asked, "Where is the distance, the South China Sea?" ”

The South China Sea is South Vietnam, which is already Guangdong. Concubine Li cried: "Han'er is young, and for Ling Yin's love, I would like to be by her side." ”

Xiong Yuanzhi Qin returned to the throne, and Huang Xie, who risked his life to cover his return to China, immediately sealed the twelve counties of Huaibei, and later Shouling was Ying, and then changed to the former capital of Wu, and most of the cities of Wu were originally given to him. Next to his fiefdom, isn't that the capital of the country?

Xiong Yuan, who wanted to understand, palpitated for a while, and he couldn't help but say bitterly: "Huiji is for the border county of Chu, is there an example of sealing the prince in the border county?" ”

"The king......" Concubine Li cried in tears, and the tears came down again.

She didn't understand what it meant to be sealed in the Huiji. Ling Yin does not want Xiong Jing to be the king, but he has already occupied the land of Wu, if Xiong Han seals the land again and helps him to turn his back, doesn't that mean Wu Yue will rise again? Xiong Yuan is forbearance is not mentally retarded, the country was handed over to Xiong Jing because he was able to keep the 800-year-old society, and now the county Yin is already a big disaster, how can he cause the disaster of Wu Yue again.

"King!" Seeing that the crying was useless, Concubine Li wept again, like a cuckoo crying blood, crying even more. "If Han'er can't avoid Ling Yin's side, then allow the concubine and Han'er to go with the king."
