Looking around the banquet hall, Chu Wanghan frowned slightly: "Xiang Zhigui has not arrived yet?" ”

According to the eunuch's reply, although Xiang Yan was quite refusal, he should still come down in the end.

But.

What about people?

Xiang Rong immediately got up and bowed his hand: "King Qiyu, my father obeyed the king's order, and he has not left the mansion for half a step since he returned to his master. ”

"Special order Weichen to visit the king on behalf of his father."

The king of Chu said in a deep voice: "However, today is the widow who ordered Xiang Zhigui to come to the banquet. ”

"Why should Xiang Zhigui be trapped by the order of the widow and still imprisoned in the mansion?"

Xiang Rong said bitterly: "The defeat in the battle of Qin has made the thieves of the violent Qin drive straight in, break through Shouchun City, and coerce the king. ”

"This is a great shame!"

"Humiliation, death!"

"My father has repeatedly wanted to apologize for his sins, if it weren't for my bitter pleading, my father would have died!"

"My father lives in the world without shame, how can he have the face to be feasted by the king!"

Xiang Rong said very earnestly, outlining the image of a great loyal minister.

But Chu Wanghan was sneering in his heart.

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death?

Don't be funny!

When did my Da Chu start to engage in Qilu Confucianism?

And if you are so faithful, you should draw your sword and kill yourself now!

was angry in his heart, but the king of Chu sighed on his face: "The defeat of Qin is a big defeat, and the widow is also very painful!" ”

"However, the widow knows that the defeat in this battle is not in Xiang Zhigui, but in the widow."

"If the widow clearly discerns the general trend of the world, even if all of you Aiqing advises to send troops, how can the widow agree!"

The eyes of Qu Huan, Jing Chou and the others changed a little.

Is Chu Wanghan introspective?

He was clearly slapping the faces of the major clans!

Jing Chou and the others had to get up immediately, and they all bowed their hands: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

Chu Wanghan's voice became more and more sad: "Aiqing is not guilty, the sin is in the widow!" ”

"In order to appease Qin's heart, the widow had to dismiss Xiang Zhigui from his position, which made Xiang Zhigui think about it behind closed doors."

"It can be punished on Xiang Zhigui, but the pain is in the hearts of the widows!"

"Now that there is chaos within the tyrannical Qin, there is no time to look south."

"The widow intends to withdraw the punishment of Xiang Zhigui, and allow Xiang Zhigui to be a pillar country for my great Chu."

Chu Wanghan sighed softly: "But now it seems that Xiang Zhigui has a grudge against the widow!" ”

Chu Wanghan's words seemed weak.

But the last sentence made everyone's hearts sink.

The word 'resentment' is not something that can be explained by a simple sentence of feeling uncomfortable.

What was the reason for Bai Qi's death?

It's the resentment in my heart!

Now the king of Chu has put this name on Xiang Yan's head, which is equivalent to forcing Xiang Yan to a dead end!

Either enter the palace immediately and personally dismiss this charge.

Either stay in the mansion and wait to be killed by yourself!

Xiang Rong knelt directly to the ground in fear: "Please be aware of the king, my father has no resentment in his heart!" ”

Gongzi also got up and arched his hand: "The minister thinks that the king is wrong to be in charge!" ”

"With Xiang Zhigui's heart, how can he have a grudge against the king?"

"The king is benevolent, and he is willing to give Xiang Zhigui the opportunity to lead the troops again, Xiang Zhigui must be remembered in the five hearts, and he will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions."

"As long as a eunuch is sent to Xiang Zhigui's mansion and provoked him with words, Xiang Zhigui will definitely enter the palace immediately!"

King Chu turned his gaze to Gongzi Ying: "Really? ”

This is the Upper Pillar Kingdom of the Widows.

Why do you know him so well?

Childe's alert hands were spread: "This is the minister's speculation." ”

"However, the minister thought it might be big."

Chu Wang Han couldn't take advantage of this to make trouble, so he could only bow his head slightly: "Brother Wang's words are very good. ”

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Then send a eunuch to Xiang Zhigui's mansion, saying that the widow intends to make Xiang Zhigui regain military power, and he also has the heart to comfort me with a fine wine."

"If Xiang Zhigui still has the heart to fight for my Da Chu, he should enter the palace as soon as possible!"

Li Yuan immediately gave his hand: "Only! ”

The eunuch went to find the last person on the list of the king of Chu.

The king of Chu raised the wine lord and invited him to drink loudly: "Everyone, love Qing, drink to win!" ”

Xiong Yingshu and others hurriedly raised their knights: "Wang Yinsheng!" ”

After drinking all the wine, Chu Wang Han sighed softly: "I invite you Aiqing here today to discuss a major matter. ”

"The reason why my Great Chu lost this battle is that the most important thing is the loss of Shouchun City."

"Now all the territory north of Yingshui in my Great Chu has been taken by the Qin State, and the distance between Shouchun City and the Qin State has been shortened again."

"Not only that, but the Qin State has even captured Daliang City!"

Chu Wanghan's voice turned condensed: "The Qin army destroyed Wei and mastered the Wei State Water Division. ”

"Once the Qin army and the Wei State Naval Division go south, they can go down the river and reach Shouchun City!"

"Do you Aiqing have a way to share the worries of the widows?"

Although the ministers had different thoughts, when Chu Wang Han raised this question, all the courtiers had to be heavy.

Why did the state of Chu move its capital continuously?

It's not because the state of Chu was attacked by the state of Qin one after another!

But this time, the threat faced by the state of Chu is more severe than ever.

Once the Qin State decides to attack the Chu State, it is completely possible to go down the Yingshui River and quickly face the walls of Shouchun City!

This feeling of the capital being under the butcher's knife of the enemy is really uncomfortable.

Jing Chou got up and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers advise, move the capital!" ”

"After this battle, the city wall of Shouchun City has collapsed, and it takes too much and a long time to repair it."

"And even if the walls of Shouchun City are restored to their original firmness, they can't stop the Qin army from flying stones."

"If the Qin army takes the land route, Shouchun City will be unstoppable, and if the Qin army takes the water route, Shouchun City will be even more in danger."

"Only by moving the capital can we ensure the tranquility of Shouchun City!"

Jing's food is concentrated in the Yangtze River basin southeast of the Chu State.

Once the capital was moved in that direction, the Jing clan might need to cede a city to the Chu state as the capital.

But correspondingly, Jing's other food towns will inevitably achieve economic take-off driven by the national capital!

However, most of Qu's food is concentrated in the Huai River Valley.

Once the capital of Chu moves to the southeast, it will be a huge blow to the Qu family!

Therefore, Qu Huan immediately got up and refuted: "Only if the capital is set in Shouchun, can my Dachu heavy army fall on the border of Qin and Chu." ”

"Once the capital is moved further south, my Dachu will definitely lose control of Yingshui."

"The reason why my Great Chu has been defeated in successive battles is because my Great Chu will move the capital backwards after every defeat."

"The reason why the Qin State has won many battles is only because the Qin State keeps moving the capital."

"In the past, Qin was about to die, but Qin Xiangong moved the capital east to Liyang, and did not hesitate to face the enemy's soldiers, and the army of Qin also gathered in Liyang, and Qin stopped the decline!"

"Now that my Great Chu has been defeated, Ranchen thinks that it is not appropriate to move the capital."

"On the contrary, my Da Chu should be deeply cultivated in Shouchun City to prepare for another battle!"

Qu Huan's words are reasonable and well-founded.

Whether it is Qin Xiangong's relocation of the capital to the frontier, or the later Son of Heaven guarding the country, it proves that the location of the national capital has a direct impact on military power.

But this is the court of the Chu State.

Right and wrong are important, but interests are even more important!

Zhao Cen angrily asked: "If he and the Qin army go south again, what is the explanation?" ”

Looking at the appearance of the Qu, Jing, Zhao clans and a group of small nobles spitting and arguing fiercely, Chu Wang Han sneered in his heart.

This is the nobility of my Great Chu!

The widow just threw out a bait, but they almost knocked out the dog's brain.

For the sake of their own interests, they don't even care about the interests of the country!

At this moment, Chu Wang Han completely made up his mind.

"Uncle is right."

"If we don't get rid of all these moths, I will never have a day of great prosperity!"

"Even if you have to take some risks, the widow should do the same!"

Murmuring, the afterglow of Chu Wanghan caught the gaze of Gongzi.

The king of Chu restrained his killing intent, smiled, and invited him to drink.

The widow is waiting for you, what are you waiting for!

Childe also hurriedly raised the wine, smiled and invited to drink.

This son is waiting for Xiang Zhigui, what are you waiting for!

Between the courtiers' disputes, time flies quickly.

Half an hour later, a eunuch trotted to the side of King Han of Chu and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Xiang Zhigui has arrived outside the palace gate!" ”

"However, Xiang Zhigui came alone, and he also brought his soldiers and some generals."

The king of Chu asked vigilantly: "Have you ever worn armor and held soldiers?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly shook his head: "None of them!" ”

Chu Wang Han put his mind at ease and ordered softly: "Allow him to enter the palace." ”

"Herald the palace gate guards, do it!"

The eunuch responded solemnly: "Respect the order! ”

The eunuch left in a hurry, and the king of Chu once again took into view the ministers who were still arguing in the palace.

Pouring all the warm rice wine in Jiujue into his throat, the king of Chu raised his right arm fiercely, and then swung it out heavily.

"Bell~Bang~Bang!"

The wine lord in his hand fell to the ground, jumped and rolled down the steps and fell into the main hall.

The ministers were immediately silent, and suddenly turned their heads to look at Chu Wanghan, and saw Chu Wanghan standing up, and said lightly: "Widowed, tired." ”

As soon as the words fell, a uniform shout of killing sounded outside the main hall.

"Get rid of the traitors and protect the king!"

A sturdy and brave palace guard with a famous helmet and armor poured into the main hall.

A crossbow with a crossbow in the lookout of the mountain framed a child of a famous clan.

In an instant, the bowstring exploded!

In the main hall, the outsiders and civilians who have been promoted by Li Yuan in recent years also kicked over the case and scolded angrily:

"The king treats us preferentially and gives us the opportunity to ascend to a high position."

"This group of beetles is stealing from a high position, suppressing us and others, and threatening the king even more."

"He should be punished for his crimes!"

"Kill!"

In the midst of shouting, the new magnates picked up the objects they had in their hands and launched a charge at the old nobles.

The other side.

Seeing the guards entering the hall, Rao is Jing Chou had already taken precautions, but his pupils still shrank.

"How dare the king risk the condemnation of the world and commit such a tyrannical act?!"

"Children of the Jing family, file a case!"

With a sudden force of his hands, the table was lifted up.

The food tripod on the desk fell to the ground, but the solid wood table, which was thicker than the shield, finally helped them block this wave of crossbow arrows.

His arms were numb from the shock, but Jing Chou gritted his teeth and held on to the case, and shouted angrily: "Jing's children, form a formation!" ”

"There are thieves who want to attack and kill the king, escort!"

In order to make the guards scruples, the children of all ethnic groups no longer continued to shoot arrows, and rushed towards the main hall in unison.

But a guard had already poured out from behind the high platform to protect the king of Chu.

Crossing the shield wall and looking at the blood flowers that bloomed from time to time, the king of Chu held a new wine jue in his hand, smiled and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this banquet ...... widowed"

"Is it delicious?"
