When the sun was slanting to the west, he hurriedly left, and when he saw him go, Jinghua Zhongzhou sighed. When he was in Dongting County, he heard that in order to fight for the crown prince, Yingdu fought very fiercely, but he didn't expect that now that the prince has been established, the battle has not only not subsided but intensified, and even the prince of the concubine has the intention of taking the throne, trying to persuade himself to help him seize power.

Standing in front of the tomb, he turned to look down the mountain, only to see that the Huaishui was mighty, coming from west to east and never returning. The middle father is buried here, that is, if the Qin army comes from the west, it will come from Huaishui, and he wants to watch the Chu army defend against the water, defeat the Qin army, and protect the Chu country.

Can this really be the case? Jing Hua was skeptical. The Dingkou of Chu is mostly north of Huaishui, and the battle against Qin must be fought on the border, on Rushui, and Yingshui. You can't resist the enemy outside the borders, but lead the enemy to the capital, what's the use of these warriors? If the border land wins, the Qin army does not dare to advance south; If the border land is defeated, the Qin army will come south, no matter how wide the Huaishui River is, no matter how high the city wall is, the old and weak women and children will not be able to hold this city.

As the sun sets, the black robe flies. Jinghua stood for more than half an hour, until a bell rang at the bottom of the mountain, and he broke free from his heavy thoughts and asked, "Where is the bottom of the mountain?" ”

"Back to the general, the bottom of the mountain is the workshop of His Royal Highness the eldest son. It is rumored that the palace descended to the six dragons of Huaishui and turned into a waterwheel, which is here. Shen Yi, one of the military officials of the Left Army, who was not a close confidant of Jing Hua, was able to stay in the Left Army of Wang Zu, mostly because the military officials were only in charge of the army's heavy duties, and did not lead soldiers, and Jing Hua, who had just taken over the Left Army, also needed military officials who were familiar with the situation.

"Subduing the six dragons of Huaishui and turning them into waterwheels?" Jing Hua was a little puzzled, he received the king's order to rush to Yingdu last month, but he didn't know such strange news.

"Exactly." Shen Yi said with a smile. "His Royal Highness the eldest son set up a workshop under the Purple Mountain to build a boat, but one day it happened to be a rebellion of the six dragons, so he was angry and took it. His Royal Highness is the Holy King who came into the world, and the six dragons worship and obey, and they should turn themselves into cars to help Chu Guotianmu. ”

There are several versions of the crown prince's recovery of the six dragons and the transformation into a waterwheel, which is widely circulated, and the people of Chu believe it. Shen Yi was talking about a not too exaggerated version of the wine shop rather than a terrifying version of the market, Jing Hua said with a smile: "I only heard that the prince of Wang made a carriage and made a strong crossbow under his feet, but I didn't hear that it could descend a dragon into a car." ”

"The court and the central government all said that the waterwheel was made by His Royal Highness, and the doctor tried it in person, and he was impressed. The rumors in the streets and alleys are different, but it doesn't hurt to be elegant, just listen to it. Shen Yi smiled and talked about the more real version of the imperial court. Today, the king ordered to build a mansion and build 20,000 waterwheels before the dry season to help the people. This matter is said to be good by the government and the opposition, and it is said that the great king is benevolent and the great son is virtuous, and the blessing of the Chu country. ”

"Oh." Jinghua finally had some surprise, the waterwheel is different from the strong crossbow, and the 20,000 parts of the Guangfu are to be taken out and used, if the construction is not good and the use is not great, it must be public opinion - there are not a few people who coax the king with novelties and auspicious things, so Jinghua does not fully believe in the 400-step strong crossbow, and the waterwheel is different, can it be said that the crown prince really has a talent for artificiality?

Jing Hua's surprise made Shen Yi smile a little, and he said again: "Although His Royal Highness the eldest prince is young, he is extremely intelligent, and he is born to know it, and what is even more rare is the best and most filial piety. The king is sick, and the eldest son is trying the medicine with his own body, and he can't do it unless he is filial. Yingdu is up and down, and they all say that His Royal Highness the eldest son will be able to prosper Dachu again in the future. ”

What Shen Yi said is the same as the words of those noble servants who praise their masters, and the characteristics are that they report good news but not bad news, and only want everyone to be happy. Jing Hua is nearly forty years old, and he is very familiar with this kind of style, and he said happily: "I know, let's go down the mountain." ”

Jing Hua obviously didn't want to hear it, but Shen Yi was still unsatisfied, from going down the mountain to getting on the boat, he told the prince all those strange things, and finally mentioned that the prince wanted to run a military school, this time Jing Hua didn't say anything, and his general said bluntly: "The general once said: Planting is born, and learning is successful?" This kind of military science, it doesn't matter if you don't get in. ”

Looking at the hairstyle, you can know that it is from Sanmiao, not wearing a crown but a hair (zhuai) head, just like a ponytail in later generations. His limbs were also short, his voice was like a gong, and his voice could not be lowered at all. His words are not unreasonable, and Shen Yi is not easy to refute for a while. Jing Hua said: "It may not be the case, if it is the military study of the priests, it is beneficial." By the way, why does Ziyi call His Royal Highness the eldest son, and what does this mean? ”

The title of His Royal Highness was requested by Xiong Jing himself, and the grade was too low in his opinion, but he did not know that the honorific title of the monarch of the countries was only a step, and His Majesty's words were rarely heard. Shen Yi didn't know the reason, but said: "The people on the side of the eldest son's feet all call the eldest son's feet His Highness, and the foreign ministers also follow them to call His Highness, and why His Highness means is not known." ”

"Oh. Someone on your side? Jing Hua smiled, the people on his side were the disciples of the Eunuch Temple, and these people were the most immoral. He said again: "Ben was ordered to enter Yin last night, and he should have met the king today to restore his life, but the king was sick and could not be seen. Only the eldest son ordered people to be summoned tomorrow, and I don't know what to do. ”

"If the general doesn't know, the little official doesn't know." Shen Yi said. "Your Highness is afraid of the general's hard work and wants to be sympathetic to the general."

Shen Yi's words made Jing Hua smile lightly, so he didn't take any compassion seriously. "Ziyi, do you know what the eldest son's preferences are?"

"What do you like?" Shen Yi was stunned, "The little official doesn't know what His Highness likes, but I just heard that His Highness is good at making utensils......"

Shen Yi said, not wanting the boat to swing suddenly, everyone hurriedly grabbed the things around them, afraid of falling into the water, and then the shouts of the boat people came. It turned out that the boat had collided with an oncoming Qinghan boat just now, but fortunately, the oarsman turned quickly, and then passed by.

"Humph! It's this guy again. He saw that the official who had blocked him from entering the city last night was standing on the boat, and what made people angry was that there was a delicate beauty next to him.

"It's him." Jing Hua also saw that in the morning, the official of the East Gate, Jia Shi, stood on the side of the city gate and saluted himself, and he glanced at the official who refused to open the door a few times, so he had some impressions.

"Tell the general, this person was originally an official of the East Gate, and he has left his post this morning." Shen Yi also recognized Concubine Jing, this person dared to stop the left army from entering the city, so he was the first to be dismissed.

"Childe ......" on the opposite side of the boat looked at him, and Qian Yue, who was hiding in Fei Jing's arms, was a little worried, but Fei Jing didn't care, he gently pushed Qian Yue away, and then looked at Jing Hua and the others, and said without being arrogant or humble: "I don't know that General Jing is here, and Fei Jing is rude." ”

"Surname?" Last night, the soldiers and horses in the city were noisy, and Jing Hua didn't hear Fei Jing's self-reported name, and now he knows that his surname is Fei.

"General, these rivers are full of flowers, and there are many people who enjoy the flowers when they bloom, and this concubine should go to enjoy the flowers with a beauty in her arms." Shen Yi explained.

"Embracing beauty and appreciating flowers, the son of Yingdu is really interested." Jing Hua smiled and said no more.
