"Jing'er has grown up." Just when Xiong Jing wanted to say that only if his father was alive, the country would not fall into the situation of suspicion of the lord and the young country, and only then could he survive in the last moment, Concubine Zhao sighed and spit out such a sentence.

"Mother concubine ......" Xiong Jing's whole body tensed when he defended, trying his best to make Concubine Zhao understand him, Concubine Zhao's sigh made his whole person relax, feeling that he shouldn't be like this, after all, Concubine Zhao was for her own good and worried about herself.

"Mother is happy, happy that you saved your father at the cost of your life." Seeing the apology in her son's eyes, Concubine Zhao smiled. "This is the eldest son of the Chu State, this is the king of the Chu State." Xiong Jing was a little ashamed when she said this, and Concubine Zhao said again: "When the time comes, Jing'er will go to bed to serve the king." ”

The prince of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the descendant of the Spring and Autumn Period, the current eldest son, and the future prince have to ask their father for peace every day. If it is a sleeping disease, not only the diet, but also the decoction and feces must be checked in person. Xiong Jing was young, and the chief servant Jiang and others thought that the prince didn't understand anything and didn't let him see the feces, so he read on the side of the bed during the day and slept at night. Just now the king of Chu was asleep, so he had time to come back and toss the willow bark.

The plane of the palace is a cross, and the plane of the inner bed is also a cross. It is not far from the palace of the concubines in the west to the south of the palace and the main bed within the road gate. When Xiong Jing came back, the king of Chu was still asleep, and the chief servant Jiang and the doctor Yin Yanli were guarding his side, not daring to leave half a step. Seeing the prince coming, the two hurriedly whispered salutes.

"How's my father?" Xiong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and he was worried that his father would suddenly wake up when he was away.

"The king sleeps peacefully." He whispered when he walked to the door of the dormitory. "The right person is called to each other, and the minister does not dare to leave."

"Nothing." Although Xiong Jing does not think that Yiyin has the ability to cure his father's heart disease, it is always good to be faithful.

"What medicine do you need to try?" He asked again.

"The sap of the willow tree." The palace has a perfect food safety system, so Xiong Jing told the truth. "Drinking in moderation can relieve pain, and it can also ...... It can also alleviate heart disease. ”

"Willow sap?" In ancient times, witchcraft and medicine were one. He was so surprised that he was not surprised that the sap cured the disease, but pondered the willow tree. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "The minister hasn't heard of it." How do you know if it can alleviate heart disease? ”

"Born to know." Xiong Jing had to throw out this incantation—there were too many things for him to explain, and it was so straightforward. "After the test, I will drink it before my father. If you don't relieve your heart disease, how can your father sue the Taimiao? ”

Zhan Li didn't doubt Xiong Jing's filial piety, he was just worried about the medicine itself. He said: "In ancient times, Shennong's clan tasted a hundred herbs, but the herbs were mixed, and Shennong's had several accidents. The willow is an evil tree, and it is cloudy and cold. The eldest son is the prince of the country, and he must not be in danger. ”

The king of Chu was terminally ill and died soon, but Xiong Jing was the prince of Chu and the prince of the country, so he had to be persuaded to leave. Xiong Jing didn't expect Liushu to have such a reputation, and said with a wry smile: "There is no father, there is no Chu country." For the sake of Dachu Sheji, there is no need to cure his father's heart disease, even if it is delayed for a year. You don't have to persuade me anymore, for if the test is successful, I will drink it first. ”

"Jing'er...... Jing'er ...... "I still want to persuade again, Xiong Yuan's voice came from the bed, and Xiong Jing hurriedly said, "The child is here." "Say it over and over again.

When he slept, his hair was not crowned, and as soon as his hair was scattered, Xiong Yuan's majesty was no longer there, and he seemed to be twenty years old overnight. Seeing that his son was in front of the couch, he smiled and said, "I dream of the king." The first king said that the great Chu will be prosperous. ”

Xiong Yuan's smile made Xiong Jing's heart sour. When a bird is dying, its song is mourning, and when a man is dying, his words are good. Xiong Jing also smiled: "If you want to prosper Dachu, you must be taught by your father." Ask the father to teach the child three years. ”

His son's words made Xiong Yuan's smile retract, for three years, he felt that he couldn't hold out for three months. But there are many things that my son said right, and he really has to teach himself.

"Father, please drink the pulp." The soy milk in Xiaodingli has been hot, which is ground by Xiong Jing Mingji Chef Yin in the morning.

"Good." This should be the world's first cup of soy milk, and Xiong Yuan actually drank it all. After drinking, he ate another bowl of porridge, and then began to speak: "The heirs of mortals will know their ancestors, and they will laugh for the world." The beginning of my Chu ancestors is the sun god Emperor Jun, and now the Chu people call it the East Emperor Taiyi, and the origin of this Chu people's sacrifice to the sun and Guidong is also. After Emperor Jun, there is Emperor Yan, Emperor Yan is an ancient sound, and today it is called Zhurong. The family of Emperor Yan lives in Jiang Shui, so Jiang is the surname, and the Yin people call it Qiang.

Emperor Yan collapsed, Wu Hui ascended the throne, Wu Hui gave birth to Lu Zhong, Lu Zhong married the sister of the ghost Fang clan, and the female concubine gave birth to six children by cesarean section: the first of them was called Kunwu, the second was called Shenhu, the third was called Peng Zu, the fourth was called Huiren, the fifth was surnamed Cao, and the sixth was called Ji Lian. Ji Lian, the ancestor of the Chu people. Ji Liannian is the mother of the dead, the ghost respects the sheep, paints its shape and gives it its voice, so it is the clan.

During the Ji Lian period, the clan moved east to Zheng Zhi Youxiong, so he took Xiong as his surname. Ji Lian married Sun Yanyu, the daughter of Pan Geng, the king of Yin Shang, and gave birth to Uncle Ying, Yuan Zhong. The number of Yin people cut down Qiang, the ancestors helped, and the Yin people cut down the ancestors. The cave bear led the people to migrate to Jingzong, and Deyan was listed as his wife, and gave birth to Uncle Yu and Liji. When she was born beautifully, she had a difficult birth, and her ribs were in the sky, and Wu wrapped her belly in wattles, and then the clansmen called themselves Chu ......"

When it comes to the wife of the cave bear, Yan Lieli gave birth to Xiong Li and died, and the ancestors called themselves Chu people from then on, he suddenly remembered that Xiong Jing was almost ribbed out that year, but fortunately he was born upside down in the end. Because his legs are as long as wattles, this is why he is called a wattle.

Ji Lian and Xiong Li, these two ancestors who had a difficult birth were born at the moment when the fate of the Chu people was at stake, without them, the Chu people would have been annexed by other tribes long ago, and it would be impossible to reproduce to this day. Now, the heavens have sent down the sleeping Jing'er, which should be to save the Chu State at this critical moment when the country is extinct and the society is extinct.

Looking at his son, who was listening carefully, Xiong Yuan suddenly felt a little excited, excited because of joy, and then the corners of his heart began to hurt again.

"Father......" Xiong Jing was startled, and as soon as he turned his head, he shouted: "Leave!" ”

"Father is fine." Xiong Yuan immediately calmed down, this is joy, and the energy of happiness can always be endured.

"The king......" Chang Jiang and Yi Yin had already knelt down, and they were very inexplicable when they saw the king frowning and smiling.

"Stand down." Xiong Jing Road. In addition to giving his father some decoction of unknown origin, Yi Yin also asked the wizard to pretend to be a ghost, dancing around the bed with a mahogany bow, and finally expelling the female ghost, he didn't think it would be effective.

"Yui." King Chu's expression gradually returned to normal, and Chang Jiang and Zhan Li glanced at Xiong Jing before retreating.

"If Jing'er is taller, she can be the king," his son's retreat just now made Xiong Yuan feel a kind of majesty of an Internet person, and he was very satisfied. It's a pity that the son won't be able to govern until he is twenty years old. "This is the case in ancient times, you can consult Doctor Song for the rest." Xiong Yuan Road.

"Yui." Xiong Jing read the later history of the Chu people in the Xue Palace, and Xiong Li's grandson was Xiong Yi, the founder of the Chu State. At the turn of Shang and Zhou, the Chu people joined the alliance of the princes of Zhou Wu Wang Ji Fa to attack the Shang, and won the battle in Muye, and the king of Shang died by self-immolation. But afterwards, the Chu people did not benefit anything, but the relatives of the Ji family all sealed the place, and it was not until the son of King Wu Zhou Cheng that he was crowned a viscount.

"My Chu country is strong from the king of Xianwu, and he is overpowering the king of Xianzhuang, but it is a pity that at this time, the world is in chaos, and the first queen and then brothers kill each other, causing all kinds of disasters. You must abstain from one abstinence from another, and you must not kill each other. Xiong Yuan originally wanted to talk to his son about the internal affairs of Chu, and as soon as he talked about the five sons of the Gongwang, he was worried that the two brothers Xiong Jing and Xiong Han would follow in the footsteps of the five sons of the Gongwang.

"Father, rest assured, the child promises that there will be no cannibalism." Xiong Jing thought of the pink carved Xiong Qiang, with a smile on his face.

"Concubine Li wants her father to seal her son in Huiji, what do you think?" Xiong Yuan asked, then looked at his son carefully.

"That's a good thing." Xiong Jing's answer made him unexpected.

"Why is it a good thing?" Xiong Yuan asked, in his son's words.

"Huiji, the former capital of the Yue Kingdom, and the Huiji County of Chu today. Although it is a border land, the Yue people do not dare to return to the country, and it is no different from Neiyi. ”

Sixty-eight years ago, the king of Yue Wujiang listened to the slyness of the Qi envoy and turned to attack Chu, and the king of Chu Wei led the army to kill it, and the descendants of Wujiang built several small countries such as Ouyue, Minyue, Nanhai, and Luoyue. Because of the fear that the Yue people would return to the country, Huiji had always been managed in the way of border counties, but Zhu Yue did not have the ability and determination to restore the country, and the Chu State was also slack.

"Jianghuai is the barrier, and Wu Yue is the last foundation of our Chu State. Now Wu land is sealed in Ling Yin, Yue Di is still in the hands of the county Yin, and it is difficult for the county Yin to complain in the name of the prince. Xiong Jing spoke his mind.

This thought stunned Xiong Yuan on the spot. After a while, he said, "Ruozixi and Han'er ......."

"Has my father forgotten the rebellion of the five sons of the first king?" Xiong Jing asked rhetorically. "I am brothers with Han'er, if we fight, the state of Chu will die. For today's plan, only by brothers with one heart and the public family work together, and then take Jiangdong as the foundation and unite all counties and counties, can national affairs be a fight. Otherwise......"

In the name of Prince Feng, Huiji County was withdrawn, and the county Yin was naturally transferred. From the perspective that Xiong Jing said, of course, this is because the royal family and the public family have one more place, and the county Yin has one less place. From this, Xiong Jing's political line can also be seen: unite the royal family and the public family, subdue the county Yin, and then gather the strength of the whole country to fight against the Qin state. This is different from the strategy that Ku Guanzi said before, which is to ask Chu to change the law like Qin; Another crown prince, Fu Xunzi, judging from his words and deeds in his articles, is estimated to be the same.

"Brothers are of one heart, the clan is working together, with Jiangdong as the foundation, uniting the county Yin ......" Xiong Yuan repeated his son's words with a sigh, "This is Jing'er's policy of governance?" ”

"The child is not familiar with the internal affairs of Chu, this is all a closed-door and unrealistic idea, please teach my father." Xiong Jing said hopefully.

"If Han'er wants to be the king, what can I do?" Xiong Yuan asked.

"You can let the child eat and sleep together, and be taught by the teacher together, so that he can be sensible and reasonable, and the second is to be slandered by the villain." Xiong Jing said his own way, "So brothers can't ...... together"
