Chapter 126: Three Rivers
The way the three princes avoided the important and light, and the people present more or less heard it. This also means that in today's court meeting, the three princes are already unfavorable.
The general Ji Shu is not in the court, he belongs to his forces, he has no qualifications at all, and his status is equal to that of Prime Minister Jing Che.
In addition, the imperial historian, who has never quarreled with others, also stood on the side of the prince this time, and his power in the court today seems to be difficult to support.
What's more, Emperor Chu deliberately favored the prince from beginning to end. Xia Huan was crowned king in another place, which can already be said to be unstoppable.
Although this is not what the third prince has in his heart, since the matter has become a difficult trend to return, there is no need for him to sail against the current.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu finally handed him the conversation, and now he must firmly grasp this opportunity.
So, the third prince continued: "Father, the seventh brother has already married a family, and he has established a career as a king to share his father's worries. Erchen knew that the seventh brother had won the favor of the queen mother, so it was better to seal the seventh brother in Yingchuan. Between Shoudu and Yingchuan, it goes down the Yingshui, but it is only hundreds of miles. But if the Queen Mother misses, she can also be invited to her side. ”
As soon as the words of the third prince fell, the court lieutenant, who had been suppressed by Prime Minister Jing Che before, immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, the third highness is reasonable. Yingchuan is rich, and the Seven Highnesses are sealed here, which will not let His Royal Highness be wronged, but also allow the Queen Mother to enjoy the joy of family at any time, so as to show His Majesty's filial piety. ”
"No!"
Prime Minister Jing Che stood up, waved his hand, and scolded the court captain: "His Royal Highness the Seventh is quick to think, and he has a few military essentials, so he must not be buried in Yingchuan." ”
"What the prime minister said is extremely true!"
Immediately afterwards, Wei Wei Jing Xiu also stood up, and after saluting the Emperor of Chu, he said: "My Great Chu has always paid attention to meritocracy. The talent of the Seventh Highness, we can see for all that although Yingchuan is good, it will make the pearl dusty. Therefore, the minister thought that with the talent of His Royal Highness and the merit of His Royal Highness, he should be awarded a rich border county. ”
"The words of the two adults, forgive Li for not agreeing." Tingwei was not afraid this time, and continued: "Yingchuan has been hit by a big flood this year, and the people's hearts are unstable, it is precisely the need for a capable person like His Highness to go, how can it be said that it is to make His Highness's pearl dusty?" Moreover, the terrain of Yingchuan is dangerous, connecting Nanyang in the west, Sanchuan and Hanoi in the north, which can be described as an important place for soldiers. It is reasonable to have His Royal Highness sitting here! ”
"Master Lee." Jing Xiu looked at the court lieutenant among the civil officials, revealing an intriguing expression.
"Lord Li has not been proficient in arching horses for more than ten years, and he may not know how much His Highness has made this time. With this great talent, it is a pity not to generalize the soldiers, for Your Majesty, and to expand the territory for my Chu State! ”
"You!"
As a court lieutenant, Li Kuang suddenly glared angrily, but he couldn't refute anything. Just because, Tingwei is a civil official, but Weiwei is a military position.
It's funny to say that Li Kuang is obviously a military person, but he was ridiculed by Jing Xiu, who was born in Wenchen, for not knowing military horses.
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, the Seventh Highness, should live in a rich border county!" After taunting Li Kuang, Jing Xiu said to Emperor Chu again.
This time, Li Kuang just snorted coldly, but did not refute again.
There are many rich places in Chu State, but there are only three counties of Sanchuan, Changsha and Huiji that can be called border counties.
Changsha aside, it is a barren land, and among the ministers, no matter which side it is, they will not consider this place at all.
Then, the only ones left are Sanchuan and Huiji.
Sanchuan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and was once the king of Zhou, so its importance and wealth do not need to be repeated.
Huiji is located in Jiangdong, when the overlord is still alive, the Jiangdong family is in power. As the base camp of these families, it naturally has also received additional favor.
Moreover, whether it is Sanchuan or Huiji, the two places are not only rich, but also hidden dangers.
Sanchuan is newly attached, people's hearts are unstable, and they are facing the fierce eyes of strong men in the west. The frustrated Han Emperor will definitely not stop there.
Zhou Yafu, the pillar of the Han Dynasty, is not comparable to those mediocre talents in the Qi Kingdom.
Compared with Sanchuan, Huiji is slightly better.
It's just that it will be southern, and it will communicate with South Vietnam. Over the years, the state of Chu and South Vietnam have become more and more at odds, and there is also a trace of hidden dangers.
Before today, the third prince was also a little prepared, knowing that in Ji Shu's absence, it was a little unrealistic to stop the king with Xia Huan's merits.
Therefore, the worst plan he made at that time was to recommend Xia Huan to the meeting.
However, the situation is changing rapidly, and people are not as good as heaven. Who would have thought that Gu Xin, the imperial historian who had never had much to do with the prince, would suddenly choose to help the prince.
Whether the crown prince and Gu Xin had a secret relationship, the third prince did not know, and even if there were, it should not have been revealed so early.
Therefore, he was more inclined to Gu Xin, which was to help Xia Huan.
Gu Xin and Xia Huan didn't have much contact, but only Qi Guo and his party.
In just a few dozen days of contact, one of the three princes of Chu helped out, should it be said that Xia Huan was too charming, or was they premeditated?
The former, the three princes don't believe it, if it's the latter, the idea of sealing the meeting is obviously not feasible.
If it doesn't work, then next, it seems that the only place Xia Huan can go to is Sanchuan.
Sanchuan was captured by Ji Shu, and in the process of fighting with the Han army, his army also suffered heavy losses.
paid such a big price, but in the end, it was given to others, and no one would feel comfortable in the heart.
Sure enough, not long after Jing Xiu finished speaking, the prince also arched his hand and said: "Father, the son thinks that with the talent of the seventh brother, the country of Chu is so big, and only Sanchuan can be sealed.
First, Sanchuan is rich, which can be the reward of the seventh brother's martial arts, and second, the land of Sanchuan, facing the Han Kingdom, is also suitable for the seventh brother to show his skills. ”
"Hmmm......"
Emperor Chu let out a long, nasal voice, and seemed to approve of this proposal.
"What to do? Is it to give up Sanchuan, or to recommend Huiji? In the minds of the three princes, the gains and losses of interests were quickly weighed.
As if he wanted to ask the three princes about their intentions again, Emperor Chu's eyes saw the three princes again.
"Erchen thinks it's ......" The third prince deliberately lengthened his voice, and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Erchen thinks that it is appropriate for the seventh brother to be named Sanchuan." ”
After the third prince finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly.
Even if a place like Sanchuan can't fall into his hands, it must not fall directly into the hands of the prince.
The third prince will not forget that this seventh brother is a blockbuster and soars into the sky. He didn't believe that this seventh brother would stop there.
Moreover, he didn't believe that the prince trusted his brother so much.
Look at it, even if Xia Huan's power really grows, it is not him who is most worried.
"Hmm." Emperor Chu at the top of the hall nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, then Huan'er, you can't disappoint me and all Aiqing!" ”
"Son, obey!" Xia Huan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
