After Xiong Wu heard Chu Qiong's words, it was like a rag stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't swallow it.

This is a glaring contempt.

Just wait in the side hall, then that means you won't wait too long.

In general, it won't take more than two hours.

What can you do in two hours?

Summoning a few princes and clan elders into the palace, even if it is the fastest speed, it will take nearly an hour, and two hours of hard work will not be discussed.

Xiong Wu didn't expect that a worded excuse he found casually would make it difficult for him to ride a tiger.

Next, Xiong Wu had no choice but to summon a few princes.

Speaking from his heart, he didn't want those old stubborn clans to get involved, because those people were pampered, even if the Chu State was now in danger, they still sang every day, without any sense of urgency.

Those people don't know what the situation in the world is, and they don't know what kind of predicament the Chu State is currently facing, and they just blindly fight for their own interests.

In the end, he annoyed the envoys of Cangguo and got nothing.

An hour later, the princes of the sect who should have arrived had arrived.

In the state of Chu, there is no king with a different surname.

It is divided into several generations.

Three of the brothers of the Emperor Xiong Minne were given the title of king.

There are two of Xiong Wu's generation.

The rest of the princes, although they are royal families, are not descendants, but hereditary branches, with a few generations in between, and they can only be regarded as clan elders.

In total, there are eight in total.

As soon as they heard Xiong Wu say that he was going to surrender to Cangguo, the eight princes were all furious and opposed loudly.

Xiong Wu is also very helpless, these are the royal bloodlines, even if he wants to move any of them on weekdays, he has to work hard, and now that they are gathered together, he can't be offended, without the support of these people, he can't move an inch.

He could only be patient and tell the princes little by little about the current situation facing the Chu State.

"My Da Chu has fallen into such a situation?"

"On this king's mansion, there are more than 20 pieces of glassware, with countless money and grain, which can be handed over to the imperial court to raise soldiers and horses."

"The state of Chu has been dominant for four hundred years, with tens of millions of subjects, and there are still millions of soldiers to fight, how could it fall into such a situation?"

"It's ridiculous that Cangguo, a small country that has been established for less than 50 years, has gained momentum for a while, and even wants to annex my Great Chu!"

"Your Majesty, don't boast and intimidate the ministers, as long as I fight the Chu monarchs and the people to the outside world, there is still a chance for a turnaround."

Several princes talked about it.

Chu State, is the Chu State of the Chu royal family, even if the land is only a little bigger, it is still the Chu State, they are still the rulers of the upper class, they can enjoy themselves wantonly, for such a group of people, if they lose their status as princes, it is from the highest place to the bottom, all the glory and wealth, all turned into clouds overnight.

The days under the fence are unacceptable to them.

Xiong Wu laughed miserably and donated money and food?

At this time, you thought of donating money and food?

Open your mouth and close your mouth, the subjects of the whole country and the people are united to the outside world, but do you see the situation outside?

Even those cities in the hinterland of Chu State, after being occupied by the Cangguo army for a period of time, slowly let down their vigilance, and after enjoying the policies promulgated by the Cang army, they also let down their guard, and were willing to become subjects of Cangguo, and even helped Cangguo's army to attack the Chu army.

As a ruler, especially Xiong Wu, who has always been cultivated as a prince, has understood a truth since he was a child, the so-called popular heart and identity, in the face of a wide range of interests, have a day to disappear, Cangguo can give the people of Chu what they need most, then the people will identify with Cangguo.

There is no way, in order to convince several princes, Xiong Wu can only be little by little, to make the situation facing the Chu State now, as well as the extremely bad situation, clear to these princes.

"My Great Chu Sect Temple, is it really impossible to preserve it?"

It was King Huai who spoke, he was the oldest one in the current clan, and he was also the most prestigious one among the clan elders, and he had a lot of influence in the Xiong clan, even the emperor had to take care of his influence and give some face.

Xiong Wu closed his eyes and shook his head.

"So...... If we take refuge in the Cangguo, we will wait for the royal family...... Where do we go from here? King Huai continued to ask.

Xiong Wu took a deep breath, knowing that he could not solve this problem just by virtue of his identity as an emperor, so he could only helplessly say: "The envoys of Cangguo are in the side hall, if the kings are not at ease, they can go in and discuss one or two." ”

Not long after, Chu Qiong came in from the side hall, his eyes swept around the main hall, and nodded: "Everyone, have you already discussed it?" ”

"Your honor, if my Chu State is willing to surrender to your Cangguo, can you guarantee me a title?" King Huai asked.

"What a title? Prince? ”

The kings glanced at each other, of course they would not think that the Cangguo Kingdom would grant them the title of king, because the current Kingdom of Cangguo, there is no prince with a different surname, even if it is Wei Zhongquan, his years of military exploits are just a duke, and he is one step up from the king.

"Your honor, did the Emperor of Cangguo ever say, how to settle our Great Chu Imperial Family after returning to Shun?" Qu Dan interjected at the right time.

"The emperor of Chu can be made a marquis, and the princes and lords will be demoted to one-star counts, and the rest of the nobles can only be lords at most."

"One-star earl? Lords? ”

Several princes looked at each other, extremely dissatisfied.

According to Xiong Wu's description, the state of Chu was on the verge of extinction, and based on this, they could consider a way back and give in to the general trend.

But as a prince, if he just uses the position of a one-star earl to send it away, it will be very pitiful.

One-star earl, that is the lowest level among the fifth-class earls of Cangguo.

In other words, the lowest level of the aristocratic level of Cangguo.

Let's just say that now, many tens of thousands of people in the army of Cangguo will be earls, and if these princes submit to Cangguo, they will be worse than those martial artists.

It's ridiculous!

Chu Qiong didn't care what he thought at all, he just dropped a sentence lightly: "You guys think about it carefully, I'm going to go back to restore my life, and in three days, my Dacang army will besiege Chu City, and I hope you will cherish it." ”

"Humph!"

"I'm waiting, are you afraid that the threat won't work?"

"Quickly send an envoy to Ruan State, we are willing to cut the land and relatives, and implore Ruan Guo to send troops to help!"

"Your Majesty, this fang is rampant, and the younger brother admonishes that he should be given a court staff and punished to death on the spot!"

The negotiation did not meet expectations, except for a few old princes, the rest of them were angry and did not give in, and at the same time, some people thought that Chu Qiong was too rampant and threatened to kill him.

"Hmph, if I, Chu Qiong, am missing half a hair today, not to mention you and other kings, even the entire royal family of Chu will pay the price. Before the luck, the generalissimo specially advised, don't be unpredictable!"
