Chapter 19: The Warring States Long-tongued Woman 17
Xiong Huai can be admired by people all over the world, Zheng Sleeve is not surprised, what makes Zheng Sleeve unexpected is that this Xiong Huai's 'sending charcoal in the snow' incident has made her name a household name and praised by tens of thousands of people.
And the reason is just that the soldiers who distributed the charcoal said the word 'Zheng Niangniang' more.
This sudden good reputation was all unexpected, and while Zheng Sleeve was surprised, he still accepted the good reputation happily.
In 318 B.C., the phrase "although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu" was spread more widely, the so-called "three households" refers to the three branches under the surname of the king of Chu - Qu, Jing, Zhao, after several years of development, the Chu state became stronger and more prosperous, and gradually overwhelmed the Qi state, but Qu, Jing, Zhao The three branches of the clan and the new and old nobles firmly controlled the court, and the new and old nobles formed a party for personal gain, under the strong face of the country, it was a rotten internal affair.
Xiong Huai had the intention to rectify the internal affairs, but the power of the old aristocracy was huge, so he transferred Qu Yuan back from Quanxian County and named him a leftist disciple, and Qu Yuan and the King of Chu joined forces to change the law.
Economically, it is necessary to reward farming and warfare, put the people first, use strict laws to stipulate rewards and punishments in politics, select the best and the best, open up the way of speech, and prohibit the formation of parties for personal gain.
The initial reform was quite effective, but it also touched the interests of many courtiers, and he deliberately cultivated his own power after resisting and protesting.
The front dynasty is turbulent, and the harem is clear.
Zheng Sleeve lost Wei Meiren's heart disease, and began to be like a fish in water in the harem, and in the past few years, she gave birth to two sons, Ziheng and Zilan, for Xiong Huai, replacing Queen Chu Wei, and becoming the actual ruler of the harem.
However, if you think that Zheng Sleeve is doing well, it is a big mistake, many times, she has a lot of more than enough and not enough.
For example, in the scene in front of her, she had already admonished in every possible way that 'Shangguan Xing is not credible', Xiong Huai not only didn't care, but also praised Shangguan Xing for 'being able to speak well, very much in line with his heart, and having a fairy demeanor'......
Zheng Sleeve, who had already read history in advance, shouted in his heart: "That kid is different from his brother Shangguan Wei, he is a big traitor, jealous of meritocracy, Qu Yuan was framed by him!" ”
But Xiong Huai's emotional intelligence is not high, and he is easy to trust others, plus he is a late stage of Yan Control, and the ministers in the palace are all elegant and handsome characters, but those who are good-looking are not necessarily good courtiers, as far as she knows, there are a lot of good-looking moths in the palace, and they are quite favored by Xiong Huai.
It's hateful that she can't throw the history textbook on Xiong Huai's head, she keeps telling herself to be calm, to be calm, to be calm, in the face of a 'rake ear', this matter must not be urgent, and only then can it have a good result.
She was unwilling, and she had to say a few more words, but Zilan in the cradle on the side was already crying, she turned around and hugged him, coaxing gently.
Xiong Heng knew Zheng Sleeve's thoughts, and understood that she had long been unaccustomed to those 'moths' in the palace, but Shangguan Xing was different from those old nobles, he was a faction that was in favor of changing the law.
He pretended not to care at all, teased his younger son, and asked the eldest son about his situation: "How is Ziheng's homework?" "Ziheng started early, and when he first knew how to walk, he recognized Qu Yuan as a gentleman, and now he receives 'beauty washing and spiritual education' from Qu Yuan every day.
She shook her son's little hands, Zilan was only seven months old, like a penguin, she loved to laugh and shake, she said, "What else? Lingjun taught a return to breath. ”
The eldest son is playful by nature, but when he is studying, he is like a piece of wood, Zheng Sleeve complained: "I don't know who that little cub has learned, he can only play games and have fun all day long, and play tricks on Mr., if it weren't for his youth, I would have broken his leg!" ”
"Nonsense!" Xiong Huai said: "If students don't learn well, of course it's the teacher's fault." ”
Bah! The three views are not correct!
Zheng Sleeve fiddled with the 'little penguin' in his arms, and said gently and softly: "The son does not teach, the father's fault, the teacher's laziness, the spirit has done his best, you, the father, must also be more attentive." ”
In fact, Xionghuai's education method is very similar to the modern one: pet! Pet hard! to death! Pet is done!
Zheng Sleeve didn't understand whether King Chu Wei and Queen Chu Wei's godson model was the same, but seeing Xiong Huai grow so big was still a stupid white sweet, she felt that there was a high probability that this would be the case.
Xiong Huai didn't want to talk too much on this topic, so he changed the topic and said: "Concubine Ai, today the envoys of South Korea and Wei have come to visit to persuade Bugu to crusade against Qin, and Bugu wants to know your opinion on this matter. ”
She had already heard the news of today's incident, and she smiled and said, "Since the Lord has the answer, why should he come to ask me." "In the past few years, Xiong Huai has overwhelmed the State of Qi and Wei, and now he has also come to surrender in South Korea, Xiong Huai is eloquent and strategic, so he naturally wants to seek this major event in the world, and Qin State is the most powerful opponent, and to seek great things, destroying Qin State is the most critical step.
Xiong Huai also smiled and said: "Bugu wants to send Gongsun Yan into Wei, and then send envoys to other countries, unite with the other six countries, and attack Qin together." ”
Gongsun Yan is a native of Wei State, originally in Qin State to be a great good creation (title name), was squeezed out by his sworn enemy Zhang Yi, and had no choice but to run to Chu State as an official, and now is one of Xiong Huai's henchmen, Zheng Sleeve is very uninterested in Gongsun Yan, in her opinion, these ministers are some opportunistic elements, where there are interests, they will run, there is no patriotism and loyalty to the monarch.
But he also knew that Xiong Huai was stubborn and had a countermeasure in his heart, so he knelt down with his son in his arms and said: "The concubine knows that the prince has made plans, and the concubine does not dare to interfere in state affairs, but I beg the prince to listen to the concubine. ”
"In front of Bugu, if you have something to say, why kneel around?" Xiong Huai helped her up, and hugged her little son from her arms, Zilan shook her head and tail, squeaked and whined, Xiong Huai loved and pity her heart.
Zheng Sleeve nodded his youngest son's fat face and said with a smile: "Just as the Maharaja cares about the country, and other monarchs also think about the interests of their own countries, the Maharaja might as well put himself in his shoes and think about it, after the destruction of Qin, which country will benefit the most and which country will lose the most?" ”
"This ......," Xiong Huai muttered.
Now Chu and Qin are the most powerful countries, if Chu, Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Yiqu can really unite to resist Qin, then Xiong Huai, the most appealing monarch, will be the leader, but once Xiong Huai is the leader, for the sake of his country's interests, he will definitely not let his country's soldiers rush to the forefront, and how many other countries dare to take the lead?
Since the war was fought, it was the Chu State that benefited the most from winning the war (the Chu State became the largest vassal state), and if it was defeated, it was their small countries that died the most.
Everyone understands this truth, each country has its own interests to protect, and at the beginning of agreeing to cooperate, it was naturally ambitious, thinking of annihilating the Qin State in one fell swoop, but what about it? When it comes time to go to war, what country is willing to charge?
Xiong Huai understood it at one point, and his expression withered on the spot.
Zheng Sleeve smiled, stood up, hugged him and his son from behind, and said, "The hearts of the people are not aligned, how can a plate of loose sand annihilate the powerful Qin State?" ”
"But this Qin country will not be destroyed for a day, and it will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day." He said coyly, and after he finished speaking, he said: "According to what Concubine Ai said, what should Bugu do?" ”
Zheng Sleeve smiled and said: "Go on, fight slowly first, keep your light up, and once the time comes, raise troops to attack Qin, and strive to kill them with one blow." ”
Xiong Huai's face turned cloudy and clear, and he responded: "What Concubine Ai said is very true! ”
Zheng Sleeve had a vague idea that the key to the breakdown of the alliance of several countries was Zhang Yi, and when the time came, she would have to set up a plan to kill him, lest Zhang Yi's noisy bird cause a big deal.
