Chapter Forty-Nine: The Defeat Visits
Cheng Jia first considered the external troubles, since the Battle of Chengpu, due to the defeat of the Chu army, the Jin State stifled the northward momentum of the Chu State, stabilized the situation in the Central Plains, and established its own hegemony, and the position of the Chu State became weaker.
Recently, Zhao Dun, the secretary of the Jin State, completely grasped the military and political power of the Jin State, and it is rumored that the Jin State wanted to take advantage of the new funeral of the monarch of the Chu State, and prepared to hold an alliance in the new city of Songdi. Incorporate the small national power attached to the state of Chu into its sphere of influence.
The second is internal trouble. This is also the fundamental reason why Cheng Jia did not dare to act rashly.
After the Battle of Chengpu, although under the governance of King Chu Mu, three small states were annexed successively, laying a good foundation for the further prosperity of the Chu State.
But King Mu was ruthless and ruthless. In order to consolidate his position, he vigorously promoted the idea that the king's power was becoming more and more respectful, and his subjects were becoming more and more inferior. The rule of power depends on the excessive use of violence. He actually hammered Ling Yin to death in the court. It is like in front of the leaders of the provinces, departments, ministries and commissions, and on the spot, the premier of the State Council burst his brain with a copper hammer.
Therefore, all the courtiers were in danger, and no one dared to directly admonish what King Mu had done, on the contrary, many officials tried their best to flatter themselves in order to protect themselves or be promoted. The long-term result is that the ministers of the court are inclined to each other, intrigued, and politically extreme.
King Mu's indiscriminate killing, too many enemies, and the intensification of the contradiction between the country and the family, made the domestic political situation turbulent and unstable. In this case, if Cheng Jia abolishes the king of Chu, he will undoubtedly turn himself into the target of the public and seek his own death.
Maintaining the status quo is a good idea.
Now, the king of Chu is faint and closed, greedy for wine, and all the faults of governing the country can be blamed on the king of Chu, and the achievements of governing the country can be all counted on his own head. In time, the image of diligent government for the people will be established among the people, and even if the king is killed, the people will say that it is good to kill.
Just like Zhao Dun of the Jin Kingdom, when he heard that the monarch of the Jin Kingdom who was going to kill him was killed, he didn't know how happy he was, but he led a hundred officials to the Taoyuan, lay down on the corpse of the monarch of the Jin Kingdom, and wept loudly, and the mourning was heard outside the garden.
When the people of the Jin Kingdom heard such a mournful cry, they all said: "Xiangguo is loyal and loves like this, and the Marquis of Jin has brought disaster upon himself, and it is not the fault of Xiangguo!" ”
If you create a faint king, you will appear as a virtuous minister. When the time comes, those who set themselves up as kings or those who support the Ruo Ao family as the king of Chu will not only not be scolded, but will receive a voice of praise. Why not do such a beautiful thing? He estimated that within three years, the power of the Chu king would definitely fall into his own hands.
The most urgent plan at the moment is to deal with Pan Chong.
Pan Chong took advantage of King Mu's lifetime to not only gain the power to be in charge of the forbidden army, but he also arranged many of his own henchmen in the court. After the death of King Mu, on the surface, Cheng Jia had the final say on the military and political affairs of the Chu State, but in the process of actual implementation, some officials changed the taste of things. Moreover, he also confidently stated that it was ordered by the Taishi.
Cheng Jia can't find Pan Chong's theory, even if he finds him theory, he can deduce everything to be told by the king of Chu to do this. Pan Chong is like a fish in the throat for Cheng Jia. Moreover, there are also signs that Pan Chong wants to get rid of himself quickly. People have to be guarded against.
This time, at the banquet of Junchenle, Cheng Jia discovered the abnormal movement of the Pan Mansion, and he also secretly ordered the army to prepare in case of accidents, but everything was normal in the Pan Mansion, and he should be fine.
Although nothing happened, the powerful private army of the Pan Mansion made Cheng Jia secretly frightened, and he had to find a way to get rid of Pan Chong.
stayed in the palace for a few days, until the banquet of Junchenle ended perfectly, and Zhong Wuregret returned home.
The effect of holding the banquet of Junchenle far exceeded expectations, and since then, Zhong Wuregret's obscene reputation has become more prosperous, and even the obscene reputation of the king of Chu has also flourished. However, he succeeded in shifting the focus of his ministers from the king of Chu to their respective opponents.
Zhong Wuregret returned to the mansion wearing the armor of the forbidden army, and he showed off in front of Bing Xin and said, "How is it? I said that I should be the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, and I would be the deputy commander. ”
Bingxin looked at Zhong Wuregret's triumphant energy, and felt sad for the king of Chu from the bottom of her heart, although her country was destroyed by the Chu state, she looked at the hatred of the country very indifferently, and was just worried about her fate.
The princes competed for hegemony, and there were only a few dozen of the hundreds of vassal states left. In the chaotic times, the status is determined by force, either killed or killed, how can you have the heart to think about the hatred of losing the country, if you can seek to live in peace and security in a rich and noble family, it would be good.
As a big country, the state of Chu is relatively stable, and with her beauty, intelligence and skills, the dream of becoming a princess was also shattered with entering the Zhong Mansion.
Entering Zhong Wuregret's home life, she felt that her fate was unpredictable.
Bingxin once heard the minister persuade her father in the palace that letting go of chaos is a sign of chaos. It's a pity that his father saw that the national strength was weak and he couldn't return to the sky, so he just wanted to sing songs every night, and he got by, and the result was destroyed by the Chu State.
Today, she sees the same thing that happened in her own country. Chu is a big country, although it will not die immediately, but once there is a Ming monarch or a virtuous minister, who wants to work hard and clean up the country's politics, Zhong Wuregret will definitely be regarded as a minister who misleads the country and harms people, and will be the first to be killed. When the time comes, even if he can escape the scourge of killing, he doesn't know where he will go.
Looking at Zhong Wuregret's appearance, Bingxin secretly wept, and at the same time worried about her beautiful hostess.
From the heart, the current life in Zhongfu is the most stable life for Bingxin since the death of the country.
There is no need to be afraid of safety, there are vicious dogs patrolling the hospital every day, in addition, there are many nursing homes to protect Zhong Mansion, she looks at these nursing homes, she always has an indescribable feeling, and she feels scared when she looks at their eyes.
It is a trivial matter to not worry about food and clothing, and the most important thing is that there is less scheming and fighting in the palace, so people feel extraordinarily quiet.
Moreover, in Zhongfu, there is no taste of slaves groveling, and everyone will not live in fear of doing something wrong.
The hostess Sakura was also a princess of a country, so the two have a lot of common language. Ziying didn't treat Bingxin as a slave, and often exchanged piano skills and chess skills with Bingxin, and the two were like sisters.
Because Zhong Wuregret was afraid that the beauties would be bored, he made a few sets of Go for them, and after teaching them the rules, they were free to play.
Unexpectedly, the two ladies had a strong desire to win, and they had just learned the rules and actually started the ring match. Cao Yun'e and the girl in white play against Ziying and Bingxin. Three sets a day, best-of-three games, with one or two silver as chips, the winner wins.
As time passed, Cao Yun'e and Ziying's research on chess became deeper and deeper. The higher her chess skills, the more frightened Cao Yun'e became.
The Go board is mysterious, and the pieces of Go also contain mysteries. Victory or defeat in Go is determined by the amount of land occupied, which is the same as most military operations today. Moreover, the form of the game of Go is very similar to the battle between the two armies. Layout, prologue, mid-plate up to the official. It is completely indistinguishable from the commander-in-chief's formulation of strategic and tactical guidelines. If you don't have a big picture, you can only rely on small victories to occupy the land, and you will still lose in the end.
Cao Yun'e deeply felt that the way of governing the country and the army was implied in Go.
What kind of person is my husband! Cao Yun'e's admiration for Zhong Wuregret is simply incomprehensible, she only feels that her love for Zhong Wuregret has exceeded her love for her life, if Zhong Wuregret has any accidents, she will never live alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhong Wuregret returned home, he pulled her and Ziying into the room with a smile and took out a few pieces of cloth for them to wear.
Ziying didn't know how to wear a few pieces of cloth with a few pieces of cloth, so she softly begged Zhong Wuregret to help her wear them. If Zhong Wuregret is unwilling to help her wear it, then the sun must have come out from the west.
When Zhong Wuregret was still helping Ziying put on his bikini, he felt a soldering iron between his legs.
After helping Ziying wear it, Zhong Wuregret wanted to help Cao Yun'e wear it. Although it was an old husband and wife, Cao Yun'e still shyly asked Zhong Wuregret to help her put on a bikini.
After the two women put on their bikinis, they looked at each other and couldn't believe their eyes, the woman's body was so beautiful.
The least cloth is dressed up with the most beautiful figure and beautiful atmosphere. Remove the burden of clothing, and hide shyness. The woman who is usually so quiet and graceful suddenly becomes hot and beautiful.
"My eyes are sleepy, I want to open and close, on!" Zhong Wuregret screamed and dragged the two of them to the big bed.
The result of the fierce battle can be imagined, and the ...... of panting, **, muttering, and impacting constitute the most wonderful "harmonious polyphony". Even the two white-clothed women and Bing Xin who were standing outside could hear that their legs were soft, their faces flushed, and they couldn't help themselves. Fortunately, lesbians were not popular at the time. Otherwise, Zhongfu will bloom every day lily (the word lily refers to the hidden word of love between women).
Zhong Wuregret has always insisted on practicing qi according to the silk diagram given to him by the old man Xiong Ke, and the essence in his body is becoming more and more full.
Ever since Ziying and Zhong Wuregret interacted and helped him break through the entrance, Zhong Wuregret has been thinking about whether that silk picture is a double repair picture. Because there are two paintings on the map, "Yang Sutra" and "Yin Sutra", the breath running lines marked on the pictures are two diametrically opposed lines.
Later generations called Xia Ji, that is, the current Zi Ying, is good at the art of yin and yang replenishment, but Zhong Wuregret knows that this is completely a misunderstanding and a false rumor.
Zi Sakura can be said to be a rare treasure among women, she is extremely yin, because there is a feeling of being inhaled into a narrow mouth, so it is mistaken for a supplement. Zhong Wuregret thought about it, in fact, the reason is very simple, if the room is very cold, the heat outside will naturally flow into the house.
Ordinary men, under such strong inhalation, must quickly lose their armor. But after Zhong Wuregret practiced, he tried his best to resist this inhalation, and inadvertently, he collected Zi Ying's yin energy, and Zi Ying's inhalation also inadvertently absorbed the male yang energy.
Therefore, Zhong Wuregret taught his son Sakura to lead the qi with his intention when he intersected, and he followed the line of the Yin Sutra, and he himself followed the line of the Yang Sutra. Unexpectedly, after the combination of yin and yang, an expansive qi appeared, impacting his meridians, just like a mountain torrent rushing into a narrow ditch stream, irresistibly widening the ditch stream.
After a few weeks of running, the two qi of yin and yang gradually merged, converging on the Baihui acupoints above the head, turning into a warm and moist mist, and then filling the whole body like spring rain, and even feeling that it penetrated into every cell.
When Zhong Wuregret and Ziying hugged each other tightly, they were already out of the pleasure of **, as if two souls were happily pouring out in the void without a trace of mortal dust, and the taste was so wonderful that it was impossible to describe.
However, this method is not suitable for Cao Yun'e, the physique is different, and if it is not good, it will harm each other, so every time Cao Yun'e can't stand it, she changes to Zi Ying.
When the rain cleared, Cao Yun'e and Ziying went to the hall to dine with the support of Zhong Wuregret.
As soon as it was served, I heard a report from the doorman: "Lord Si Shi is visiting." ”
"Hurry up, please," Zhong Wuregret was extremely happy when he heard that it was Lord Si Defeat's visit, if he could catch Lord Si Defeat, who was in charge of the punishment and prison litigation of the Chu State, at least let him remain neutral, it would be a great help to the King of Chu.
If a country's judiciary is unfair and the judiciary is **, it will make the corrupt officials in the court collude with each other to form an intertwined community of interests to resist the central royal power, and at that time, the decree of the king of Chu will be difficult to carry out.
For the people, there is nowhere to seek social justice, no revenge for revenge, and nowhere to redress grievances. It will make people hate the darkness of society to the core, and the bottom of society is the biggest victim.
In the absence of justice in society, let alone the protection of individual citizens, the self-defence of society is inevitable. If it lasts for a long time, it is easy to cause large-scale violent resistance in society.
Therefore, Lord Si Shi is a very important person.
Zhong Wuregret hurriedly asked his wife to avoid it, he reorganized the banquet, and prepared to find out the bottom of Si Shi's defeat, and first see what kind of character he belonged to.
Lord Si Yu came with a young son, Zhong Wuregret and the young son looked at each other, the two pointed to each other, and said in unison: "It's you?" ”
