In April, the rumbling Bai Gongsheng reform was crushed in the opposition of the aristocratic county duke. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Ling Yin Zixi finally came forward and announced at the court meeting that the new law should be delayed, which is also equivalent to taking back Bai Gong's authority.

In the midst of cheers, Bai Gong withdrew gloomily.

However, the matter did not end there, Zixi came forward to appease the Dou clan, but the Dou clan insisted that they would revenge their father before they would give up. The county princes of Jianghan also hated Bai Gongsheng, who wanted to deprive them of Shiqing Shilu and use poor people, and under the leadership of Le Yin Zhongjian, they also unanimously demanded that the king of Chu and Ling Yin and Sima punish Bai Gong, at least to deprive him of his position as Zuo Yin.

This is the rhythm of beating the water dog and completely letting Bai Gong go into the wild.

Although Zixi was disappointed in Xiong Sheng, he still tried his best to defend him, but the crowd was turbulent, and when the county nobles of Chu were threatened and rallied, Yin was helpless.

At this time, Sima Ziqi returned to Yingdu from Wandi, but he gave Zixi an idea, he suggested that Zixi abandon Bai Gongsheng, in exchange for the concessions of the nobles and county princes to the new law, and change someone to preside over the new law, as long as it is not a matter of the white princess, the new law does not have to be so extreme, at least the law should be established, and the military endowment can also be concentrated in Yingdu, as for the cancellation of Shiqing Shilu and the like, let it go first.

"Who can clean up this mess?" Zixi smiled bitterly.

"Brother has a candidate."

Sima Ziqi said: "Ye Gong Shen Zhuliang, he has been ruling Fangcheng for twenty years, and he has governed Ye Di in an orderly manner, he is also biased towards spells, and the laws he implements are suitable for the local area and not extreme, and he can also have a good relationship with the local nobles, so it is better to let him be the right Yin and try to change the terms of the new law, how about it?" ”

Zixi hesitated: "Although Zhuliang is good, it's a pity that it's not a prince and a grandson......

Ziqi smiled dumbly: "Brother, on the one hand, you support Sheng's change and use lower-class people, but on the other hand, you have prejudices about Ye Gong's background? You must know that back then, King Wen of Chu boldly used Peng Zhongshuang, a prisoner with a different surname from Shen State, and during his reign as Ling Yin, he destroyed Shen and Xi, and conquered Chen and Cai, and made great contributions to the Chu State. No matter how bad Zhu Liang is, he is also the great-great-grandson of King Chuzhuang, also because of the surname Mi, his father Shen Yinrong died in a national disaster after the Battle of Baiju, and Ye Gong himself is also loyal to the country, I think, this son is much stronger than Xiong Sheng! ”

Zixi thought about it again and again, especially when he recalled the dispute between Bai Gong and Ye Gong in front of him about how to implement the new law six years ago, and finally made up his mind: "It's okay, at that time, Lao Yu planned to let Ye Gong and Bai Gong try it in their own territory, and now since Huainan's method is not enough, let's try it with Ye County's method?" ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news soon spread to the closed Bai Gong's mansion.

After listening to Gao Yu's report, Bai Gong was silent for a long time and sighed.

"Uncle, are you really going to give up on your nephew?"

……

Bai Gong has woken up from the fury of the failure of the law change, with a little luck, hiding from public opinion at home, and also paying attention to Ling Yin's every move, who expected that the house leaked early and rained overnight, and his great enemy Ye Gong was about to enter Ying.

Gao Yu took the opportunity to say: "The day Ye Gong enters Ying, it is the time when the sovereign loses power and goes into the wilderness......"

"Downfield?"

Bai Gong became serious: "Zuo Yin's position is still there, and the county nobles of Yingdu and Jianghan will not dare to do anything to me, once I lose my authority, the road back to Huainan is thousands of miles, if I want to go back alive, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

Gao Yu told Bai Gong on that day that the political dispute in Chu was cruel, and no matter how powerful the ministers of the court were before, as long as they made a mistake once and were knocked down by the opponent who seized the opportunity, they would always be beaten to the bottom of the water, and there would be no day to turn over!

This is not groundless, Cai Shengzi, a sage of Chu State, once said: "Chu is tortured for adultery, and his doctor escaped and died in all directions." He gave many examples, such as the Ziyi Rebellion, when the Chu State was in Jin; Yongzi's father and brother framed Yongzi, but the monarch and the doctor did not mediate for them, but wanted to kill Yongzi, causing Yongzi to flee; If the Ao rebellion, Emperor Miao Ben was implicated, and his request for forgiveness was not granted, so he could only flee to the Jin Kingdom; During the reign of King Chukang, Zi Ling and Zi Ling (Qu Wuchen) competed for Xia Ji, and after Zi Ling fled to the Jin Kingdom, Zi Ling slaughtered all Zi Ling's clansmen!

Those who were able to flee were lucky, and most of the losers in the political struggle either committed suicide or were killed.

And the more impressive examples of Bai Gongsheng are the innocent exile and death of his father Prince Jian abroad, and the tragic extermination of his father-in-law Wu Zixu and his family......

In the state of Chu, there are only winners and losers in the competition for power, the winners are Ling Yin and Sima, and the losers are dead or dead, there is no third way!

No, maybe there is......

If the Ao rebellion and Doujiao can succeed, the king of Chu may not be on the throne of Chu Zhuang; The chaos in the last years of King Chu Ling, if the coup failed, he would not be able to be the king of Chu Ping......

The choice was in front of him, and Gao Yu said urgently: "Lord, the situation is already very critical, and if you continue to make decisions, you will suffer from it, once Ye Gong enters the palace and grasps the power, it will be too late by then!" ”

"Wait for you to go out, I have to think about it......"

When Bai Gong encounters something difficult to choose, he likes to close the door and be alone. When Gao Yu and the advisers all went out, the door was closed, and the sunlight that had sprinkled into the room disappeared from Bai Gong's eyes little by little, a lamp and candle were lit, and Bai Gong sat in front of the lamp, falling into deep thought.

"Today, the change has failed, will uncle save my life?"

Bai Gongsheng is grateful to Zixi, who treats himself as a bird's egg, and believes that as long as he is willing to hand over power and even territory, Zixi will definitely be able to protect himself from death.

But what is the difference between that day of loss of authority and the walking dead? Although he kept saying that he wanted to be Sun Shu Ao, what he wanted was the power of Sun Shu Ao, not the down-and-out status of his descendants!

Bai Gong remembered Dou Huai's abuse of his origin before he died, and said to himself:

"In fact, from beginning to end, the people of Chu have never forgotten that I am the son of Prince Jian, or was raised by Wu Zixu...... My name is Wang Sun, but in their eyes, I am just a foreign white son! ”

In a litter of wolves, white children with different coat colors from other wolf cubs will be greatly discriminated against and excluded, and they will not even be able to grab their mother's milk, so they can only limp to the side, waiting for the scraps to be cold. And as he grows older, no matter how strong he grows up, it is still difficult to get a place in the wolf pack, and he often has to be outcast and become a lone wolf.

"I'm a lone wolf...... This is the case in Wu State, this is the case in Zhao State, I thought that returning to Chu State would be returning to my hometown, but unfortunately, this is not the case, in the eyes of the county nobles of Chu State, I am still an outlier. ”

He pulled out the sword in his arms, this is the sword "Victory over Evil" that Wu Zixu gave him many years ago, the sword is not long, but it is extremely sharp, flashing with a cold and cold light, just like Wu Zixu's gaze, and the words he warned him when he saluted the crown......

"Remember, O victory, for the royal family, all family loyalty is false, a father can kill a son for a woman, and a son can kill his father for the sake of taking the throne. You were born into a royal family, but you have been abandoned by the royal family, whether it is revenge or power, you have to rely on the sword in your hand to obtain it! It is better to take by force than to give it, and if you have no sword in your hand, you will die without a place to be buried! ”

Ten years after saying this, Wu Zixu, who had no power in his hands, really died and had no place to be buried.

"Big husband, don't be without power for a day!"

Bai Gong took the case, the door opened again, Gao Yu and others hurriedly greeted him, but they were stunned to find that Bai Gong's jaw was bleeding!

"Sovereign, what is this?"

As soon as Bai Gong touched his chin, he was shocked to realize that because he was thinking too much, he actually held the Sword of Victory and Evil upside down, the tip of the sword had broken his jaw, and the blood flowed all over the ground without Bai Gong knowing!

He dipped his own blood and put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was extremely salty.

Bloodshed, pain, this is a good thing, let Bai Gongsheng recall the years of fighting in Huainan, and know what is the real dependence of her husband to survive in the world!

The lone wolf is not without a way out, only by biting the head wolf of the wolf pack can he be truly reborn in blood!

Bai Gong didn't just have blood, but it still dripped to the ground, glanced at the retainers coldly, and said, "How many people do you need to seize the palace?" ”

"Five hundred ministers are enough!" The strong man Xiong Yiyi stood up.

"How many people do you need to fully control Yingdu?"

"Five thousand people are enough......" Gao Yu arched his hand and said: "As long as there is a rune for the passage of ships, the soldiers of Huainan can pretend to be merchants from the waterway to enter Ying, and the lord has a strong army of Chu Wushu, and he is more popular among the people, and he is backed by Huainan, as long as he controls the king and Ling Yin and Sima, he will be able to sweep the Jianghan!" ”

"Great goodness! It works! Bai Gong bowed his head, but even so, there was still a worry lingering in his heart.

He turned his gaze to Gao Yu and said: "There is another thing, I asked you and others to collect intelligence on the Central Plains, can you know what Zhao Wuxian has been doing since the beginning of spring?" ”

Seeing that Bai Gongsheng had finally made up his mind, Gao Amnesty was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the lord got the news half a month ago that Zhao Hou had led his army north to Yan in February, preparing to attack Liaoxi and Liaodong, and open a land passage for the crusade against Chen Heng Korea.......

……

At the same time, in the northeast of Yan Kingdom, a white horse arrived at the Jieshi Seashore surrounded by thousands of riders.

From a distance, the blue sea is so wide and mighty, the mountain island stands tall on the seashore, the trees and grasses on it, very luxuriant, the summer wind from the south blows the trees, making a small sound, but this sound is soon swallowed up by the sound of the huge waves gushing out of the sea......

This is the first time Zhao Wuxian has seen the sea in this life, seeing this situation, Zhao Hou was full of spirits, and immediately waved a horsewhip and pointed to Jieshi Mountain to write a poem:

"East of Jieshi, to view the sea ......"
