Chapter 1 You are in trouble
Although Xianyang tried his best to influence the candidate for the new king of Chu, the only one who really decided on this matter was Yingdu. When the ship sailing east arrived, Grand Sima Nao received a message from Yingdu: Jing Hua rebelled, ordered Yin to be the slave, and the prince led Gong Jia to fight and won...
After only seeing the beginning, he was in a hurry and was worried, and Naojiu, who was worried, breathed a long sigh. All the things he was worried about happened, but the result was unexpected: the fifteenth palace armor and tenth palace guards actually defeated the fifty king soldiers' left army, but even more unexpectedly, the prince who was assassinated and forbidden to die was going to fight in person. After Jing Hua escaped, all the 50,000 troops from Jiangdong surrendered to the prince, and they were about to leave Yingdu and rush to Xi County.
Obviously, the prince wanted his son to inherit his father's business and drove the Qin people out of Chu after the king's unfinished affairs. However, the political situation is now chaotic, and it is extremely dangerous to take charge of the government at this time. Moreover, Xiang Yan's county squad will never surrender to a child of a few years old. If the war is unfavorable and the prince is killed by the Qin army in the fierce battle, this will be what some people want.
"Reply to Yingdu: Your Highness must not personally conquer Ying. Today's situation should be based on ascending the throne as soon as possible. I have protected the king's coffin and thought about it. After three days, I will return to Ying and ascend the throne. I will listen to it with justice to intimidate the traitor..." Naojiu ordered this. Although he was arrogant, he could still distinguish between the more important and the less.
Similarly, the court officials in Yingdu were very clear, except Xiong Jing, after controlling Yingdu, Feixun was connected again, and he was almost flooded by the front-line military newspaper. The most worrying thing was Chengyang. The guard Chen Gai reported that all arrows were used up three days ago. Yesterday, he reported that the Qin people once again attacked the city fiercely. After more than a hundred cars, the outer city was shaking and almost lost. Xiang Yan's army said that his troops were not strong enough, and the Cai County division failed to join forces with the Xi County division. Between waiting for the Jiangdong division and going to Chengyang for rescue immediately, Xiang Yan chose the latter.
The troops led by Xiang Yan were only 110,000. Not to mention the Qin army outside Chengyang City, even the Qin army stationed in Jiangyi had 100,000 according to the investigation. The Chu army had no advantage in military strength, and the result of rash rescue was probably to besiege the city and attack the aid. Therefore, in the name of the Grand Sima Mansion, Xiong Jing asked Xiang Yan to wait on the spot to meet with the Jiangdong army, and he would also go with the army.
Xiong Jing's idea was like this, but the reply from Naojiu immediately ascended the throne put him in a dilemma. He had to choose an auspicious day to ascend the throne, which would take at least several days. After arriving in Xi County, he would rush to Chengyang to be one month later. At that time, Chengyang would probably have been lost; if he did not ascend the throne immediately, he would only save a few days when he rushed to Xi County, but who could guarantee that Chengyang could support twenty-five days without losing it?
"Your Highness, I think it is important to ascend the throne." The main hall discussed again. Unlike before, the two commanders of the Jiangdong army, Huang Yong and Yang Lu, were also on the train. "The loss of Chengyang is a minor illness, and the country has no master for one day is a big problem." The person who spoke was Zhen Yin Zimo, who was tall and had no embarrassment that day.
"Your Highness, Chengyang is an important town in the west, and it will resist the barriers of Qin. If it is led by the Qin people, it will be unfavorable to the morale of the army and the people." Shi Yanglu of Yuedi said, "The later it is, the colder it will be when it is separated from Yingtian. The more people are afraid of coldness. If they stay in Yingdu for too long, everyone will be unstable."
"When will it be auspicious to send troops?" Xiong Jing did not respond to Zi Mo Yanglu's advice. He only asked Taibu Guanji when it was auspicious to do so.
The prince asked, and everyone looked at Guan Ji. Guan Ji seemed to be unaware of this and said, "The day of Guimao is auspicious."
"Guimao is tomorrow." Xiong Jing was wearing a filial piety clothes and looked extremely stern. He asked again: "When will it be auspicious to ascend the throne?"
"Guichou." Guan Ji calculated this time before answering. "It will be ten days later."
"Ten days are too long." Xiong Jing shook his head in disappointment. He never wanted to wait for ten days before leading his army.
"Your Highness, ascension to the throne is related to the foundation of the country..." The king of Chu has always had a tradition of personally expeditioning. Xiong Jing's stepfather's last wish to send troops to expel the Qin people was understandable, but ascension to the throne was related to the stability of the country. Old ministers like Zhaoshu did not persuade others, but only persuaded them to ascend the throne.
"You are wrong." Xiong Jing rarely said that his ministers were wrong. "The Grand Sima returned to help but Xiang Yan refused to save him. It can be seen that who is the Duke of Dawang County does not care. So what if they ascend the throne? They will obey their own actions ascend the throne.
"Maybe I can ascend the throne as soon as possible." Song Yu coughed, and this statement surprised everyone.
"I hope to think about the temple of Wuyi. Assisting the throne, I will worship my ancestors of all dynasties. This..." Etiquette and law cannot be ignored, and worshiping my ancestors is indispensable. Zhao Shu still opposed it after careful consideration.
"Qisi County Yin Gui Duke is also a Duke of Chu, so it is not necessary to pay tribute to his ancestors with his ancestral temple." Sikong Tang Miao was relatively flexible.
"Doesn't this mean that our ministers are going to go to Qisi?" Shen Yin-Ying said in surprise, "Can you not wait for the throne of Yingdu for a few days?"
"Taibu, is it okay for Qisi to worship his ancestors?" Xiong Jing asked Guanji again.
Guan Ji was not as quick as last time. He thought for a while before saying, "Okay."
"Good!" Xiong Jing was tired of sitting on his butt. He immediately changed his position when he heard this, and was about to decide what happened.
"However," Guan Ji had not finished speaking: "All officials, court officials, and queens need to go to Qisi to prove that the ceremony of ascending the throne was presided over by the Grand Sima."
"Go all?" Xiong Jing had to change back to his original sitting position. Even if the others were left, the mother would go.
"Yes." Guan Ji nodded, "The sky cannot be without a day, and the country cannot be without a master for a day. Ascending the throne in front of the coffin is a plan to follow the power. Next year, Your Highness Zhengchun will perform a grand sacrifice at the temple and report to the ancestors. All the ministers will give their respect to the temple and leave the court to become His Highness's ministers."
If you cannot become a king, you need to be a queen and all the officials and important officials in the court to preside over the testimony. After ascending the throne, it is not said that the ministers in the country are all subjects of the new monarch. They must perform the ceremony of the temple in the spring of the following year. Only after performing the ceremony of the temple in the temple and the ministers of the king who died were considered the ministers of the new monarch. Although the rituals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty collapsed and the music was broken, the ceremony of the ascending the throne was related to the change of the regime of a country. Although there were changes, they were still complicated.
"That's it, all the officials can arrange it." Xiong Jing said a little powerlessly. The description in Naojiu's reply made Xiong Jing very worried. It was confirmed that his father was sad, but Xiang Yan was disappointed that he did not save him. In addition, the Qin army increased its troops to 300,000. This number of troops was destroyed. The future was already slim and unpredictable. Being the king of Chu did not make him happy, but instead made him extremely solemn, as if he was sitting on pins and needles. When Yan Dynasty dispersed, he also sat alone and never stood up for a long time.
"Your Highness, when Your Highness greets you in the morning, the Queen asked Your Highness to have a meal at Yu Ruoying's Palace." The old servant Ge bent and whispered. It was lunch time. Wang Yinji also stood aside. He looked at Ge a little envious--When Xiong Jing ascended the throne, he would be the king's servant.
"Dinner?" Everything is troubled, Xiong Jing can't eat anything at all. "Where is Gong Yin Dao? Where is Deng Sui? And Lu Wenjun, Yang Lu..."
"Your Highness, Lu Wenjun, Gong Yin Dao, Yang Lu, and Deng Sui have all left the court." Wang Yinji replied immediately, "Do you need to send someone to recall?"
"No need." He just now said that he was ascending the throne, but forgot to discuss the issue of sending troops. The 50,000 troops from Jiangdong, but Xiong Jing didn't know the army at all, and the issue of going to war was not discussed in detail. "After the meal, they were summoned to the Grand Sima Mansion to discuss matters." Xiong Jing ordered, and after that, he got up and went to Ruoying Palace.
It did not snow in the winter evening, but the Sima Shu had the Feixun of the "King's Coffin" that turned the entire palace and the entire Yingdu into a white world. The King died! This was a matter of greater defeat than the Chu army and the Jinghua rebellion, which was even more severe than the rebellion of Jinghua. Such a thing should not have been announced in the war, but Xiong Jing could not ascend the throne without announcing the death of the king. The dispute over the throne would never end.
The king's Chu State and the Chu State of all people once again had a contradictory interest and were in a tit-for-tat way. However, this time, the royalists won, but the price was that the people of the country were sad, thinking that the destruction of the country was about to be destroyed.
The concubines in Ruoying's palace had dispersed. Under the white curtain, Concubine Zhao was sitting in white clothes, with tears on her face. Xiong Jing suddenly discovered that her mother had grown old overnight. "The child paid homage to her mother." He bowed.
"Get up." Concubine Zhao held his son's hand, and Wan Yu Qianyan asked in the end: "The Qin people raised their troops. You want to go out of Ying to fight your mother and queen, but you want to ascend the throne of your father before going, otherwise those people will be thieves and want to..."
Speaking of this, Concubine Zhao subconsciously touched Xiong Jing's chest, and the assassin stabbed him here with the sword. Fortunately, his son wore a giant armor, otherwise...
"My mother, the court discussion has been decided, and the child will ascend the throne in Qisi. All officials, court officials, and the mother will go to Qisi with her child." Xiong Jing pretended to be relaxed to comfort his mother's heart.
"Qi Si?" Concubine Zhao was stunned for a moment before remembering this county three hundred miles away from Yingdu.
"Yes, the child has ordered the Grand Sima to wait on the spot. Qi Si is also preparing for the ceremony of ascending the throne. The Guichou will be auspicious day in ten days." Xiong Jing explained the arrangements for the court, "In this way, you can ascend the throne and not delay the war."
"Is the war urgent?" After hearing that the ascension was already arranged, Concubine Zhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but when the war started, her heart fell down again. At the age of 11, the Zhao army was defeated in Changping, and nearly 500,000 males died. Every family in Handan was mourning, and every household was funeral. After hearing the news, the father was dull during the day, but he cried in the night. Finally, he was sick and he recovered. Qin is a country of tigers and wolves. It is rumored that everyone is cruel and unrighteous. If the Qin people in Chu attacked Chu and Qin, what would happen to their son? Concubine Zhao could not imagine.
"War..." Xiong Jing didn't know what his mother was thinking, and he didn't know that attacking Chu was just an external continuation of the Qin court struggle. He said a little disappointed: "Xiang Yan is the general, and Ying is in trouble but he doesn't save him! There are also those county officials and county sages, who regard Yingdu as nothing..."
The son's words were definitely not said to the court officials, and Concubine Zhao didn't dare to say a word of the worry just now. Instead, she smiled and advised him: "Jing'er learned Spring and Autumn from Doctor Song, but hasn't he learned 'Yan Zi's fate to die'?"
