The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is deep.

Under the dark night sky, there were no stars or moons in the sky.

The deep night is like the future of the Chu State,

Chu Yuyi looked out the window blankly, and after a long time, he sighed faintly.

"I don't know, if the state of Chu can survive this catastrophe"

Suddenly,

Chu Yuyi thought of his current situation.

It seems that no matter whether Chu Guo can survive or not, at least he can't continue to hold on.

Once, Chu Yuyi could rely on his iron fist to suppress all opposing voices in the DPRK and China. 𝙈.𝓥𝙊🄳𝕋𝙬.🄲🄾𝓜

However, when the state of Chu was unstable, turbulent, and even facing the disaster of destroying the country, it was accompanied by the authority of Chu Yuyi, which was gradually declining.

It's like a country full of contradictions.

In order to divert the contradictions at home, he chose to use troops abroad.

As long as we can win the war, we will be able to plunder enough wealth from the war at that time, and everything is easy to say if there is any contradiction or not.

But in this way, it is actually to drink water to quench your thirst.

After all, you can't win every battle, as long as you don't fight once, then all the problems will break out together.

Obviously,

Now Chu Yuyi is facing such a problem.

Or this is also the disadvantage of the empress.

Although in this world, the restrictions on women are not so strict.

Even in some cases, there would be ministers who supported the emperor's daughter to the throne.

But

When the empress ascends to the throne, she often faces a problem.

That's the Prince!

In general, there are only two solutions.

Either the empress finds a son-in-law, and the child has her own surname, but since ancient times, it can be said that there are at least the few who can use this method.

Because the vast majority of ministers cannot support such a prince.

After all, fundamentally speaking, in a patrilineal society, the child belongs to the man.

So usually the empress will choose the second way.

That is, from the clan, choose a wise junior and make him the crown prince.

Before, many ministers of Qi also persuaded Han Lin to do so.

But unlike Han Lin, he completely controls the power of the Qi State.

In the state of Chu, the wealthy scholars had too much right to speak.

From the beginning of the relocation of the capital,

Before and after, there were no less than 20 people, persuading Chu Yuyi to set up the prince as soon as possible.

These people,

undoubtedly chose to support some princes in the clan.

In such a problem,

Sometimes Chu Yuyi wondered if the conditions he had promised to Qi would be better.

After all, this Chu State,

In the final analysis, it is not its own Chu State.

It's just the Chu family, and the Chu country of many wealthy families.

And

If you continue in this situation, you may not know when you will be hollowed out.

In fact, Chu Yuyi did not think about forcibly integrating the various forces of the Chu State.

After all, in the case of such dispersion,

It's like the so-called alliance of princes.

In wartime, a plate of loose sand cannot be condensed into a rope at all.

There will even be,

If you don't hit the door of your own forces, you don't want to send troops to rescue at all.

But

The various families of the Chu State are intricate and deep-rooted.

If Chu Yuyi really dared to do this, those families would be able to choose to change an emperor on the spot.

After all, the emperor, although nominally the lord of the world, also needs someone's support, and he is the emperor.

It's like Emperor Chongzhen in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, as the king of a country, the poor treasury can starve to death mice, and as a result, he asked the ministers to donate some money, and one by one they deducted their lives.

And in the face of this situation, Emperor Chongzhen could not directly transfer troops to raid his home.

After all, if he wants to sit firmly in the position of emperor, he needs the support of these people.

In the end, they had to continue to get money from the people, which eventually led to the continuous uprisings of the people.

Those who supported the emperor, relying on the deterrence of imperial power, annexed a large amount of land and encroached on wealth.

In the end, it became an interest group that could not be moved by the imperial power.

Then they intensified their efforts to annex land and amass wealth, which was an almost unsolvable problem in ancient feudal dynasties.

So after hundreds of years of contention among the princes,

Countries have begun to reform and change their laws.

Among them, the reform of the Qin State was the most thorough.

In fact, the state of Chu is not helpless, but because of the obstruction of vested interests, there is no way to reform it thoroughly.

This question,

It has been bothering Chu Yuyi for nearly ten years.

Now

As the country of Chu was in turmoil and fell into the danger of losing the country, she felt how serious the consequences of this problem would be.

But

Chu Yuyi also knew that there was no way to solve this problem on his own.

originally

When Han Lin ascended the throne, he also faced such a problem.

But Han Lin's solution was very rude, directly destroying all those so-called families and destroying their ancestors, fundamentally solving this problem.

However, there must be a premise for this.

That is, in the hands of the emperor, he needs to control an army, and he must have an overwhelming advantage.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

Just when Chu Yu was melancholy, a gentle and gentle voice full of concern sounded behind him.

Chu Yuyi looked back, it was his personal maid Xiaoyu.

Although they are nominally maids, the two have relied on each other for more than ten years and are also the people they trust the most.

Xiao Yu slowly walked behind him, will
