"Haha... the barbarians are... haha." Xiong Qi, the Qin envoy who came from Xie Yi to Chu and chased Xiong Jing into Ying, laughed when he heard this.

The State of Chu was somewhat similar to the State of Qin, and was called barbarians for a long time. The first dominant Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period led a large army to the Han River and Chu territory and launched an army to question the crime. The wind and bull and horses were not mentioned in a single word. It was the Chu envoy Qu Wan asking Duke Huan of Qi why he came here. Chu was a barbarian. Until King Zhuang of Chu four hundred years after the founding of the country, Chu State changed the habits of barbarians and learned the etiquette of the Central Plains.

"The new king said this, Jing ministers were like losing their parents. You must know that before the Jing Kingdom practiced the etiquette, the uncle killed his nephew and seized his throne. The new king said that he was a barbarian, wouldn't he want those uncles to kill the king and seize the throne?" Looking at the laughing prime minister, Li Si, who followed Xiong Qi to Chu, even though he felt a little strange, he did not dare to ask more questions. He could only relay some of the comments he heard.

"It's wrong." He made great contributions to overthrow Lu Buwei and Li Si. He was from Chu, and his teacher was the Grand Tutor of King Chu. Xiong Qi naturally asked him to go to Chu with him. "During King Wu and King Wen, Jing was like Qin today. The Central Plains countries were afraid of talking about Jing. However, after studying the etiquette and law of the Central Plains, they emerged as a foolish monarch like King Huai. The new king called him a barbarian, and he might have some achievements in the future."

Changping Jun was nearly forty years old, and his every word and action was no different from that of the Qin people. However, as a descendant of the Xiong family, he was a little excited when he went to Chu for the first time. After saying that, he saw Li Si seemingly thinking, and immediately asked, "Does Zisi handed over the letter of the country?"

"My subordinates have handed over the letter of the country." Li Si said. "My subordinates have also met the teacher, and the teacher has already promised me to persuade the new king to reconcile with the Qin Dynasty."

"Oh! Mr. Xun Qing is a native of Zhao, why is he willing to lobby for me, Daqin?" Xiong Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Sizhen convinced Xun Zi.

"Although the teacher is from Zhao, he had the ambition to join Qin and help the king unify the world in his early years. Now the teacher is the Grand Tutor of King Chu, not the Grand Tutor of King Zhao. For Chu, he naturally has the superiors to Qin and the subordinates to Zhao." The master and apprentice have met again. Fortunately, what he is seeking is a truce, not an enemy of Chu.

"Great kindness." Xiong Qi became happier the more he heard it. Zhao envoy first arrived in Yingdu. Although Yang Wenjun was a former horseman, Yang Wenjun was from Chu and could not say something too much. When he entered Yingdu, he felt that his aunt was really far-sighted. To lobby for the King of Chu, there must be concubines of Qin in the harem, otherwise he would not know what the King of Chu was thinking.

"Does the king want to join Zhao?" The palace was in his slept, and the important officials in the court gathered together to discuss the matter of reconciliation with Qin and alliance with Zhao. Shen Yinyi was determined to join Zhao. He even suggested that the Qin envoy be driven out of Chu now, but Naojiu, Zhaoshu and others believed that they should talk to Qin envoy first. If Qin had a sincere peace talk, it would be okay to have an alliance with him.

"What are the pros and cons of alliance with Zhao?" Xiong Jing asked. Among the court officials, he trusted Naojiu's suggestions and also believed in Zhaoshu's character.

"Union Zhao..." Shen Yin-Yu also wanted to speak, but the king asked Naojiu, and he could only speak but stop.

"The alliance with Zhao was to help me, so that Qin did not dare to attack me again." Nao said: "Our army rejected Qin and Zhao resisted Qin, all of which were to resist Qin. However, if the Qin envoy really wanted to reconcile with our army, it would be impossible to reconcile Qin."

"King, Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and cannot be close to each other." Shen Yin-Yi immediately intervened. "Even if the Qin envoy is at peace with me, Qin, who has no faith and no righteousness, cannot be trusted. Only by being an alliance with Zhao, can you let peace."

"The Great Prime Minister is wrong." The Grand Sima Mansion Chief Lu Yang Jun was also among the court discussions. "Our army is an alliance with Zhao. Although it can intimidate the Qin people, if Qin attacks Zhao in a hurry, will our Chu save Zhao?"

"Chu and Zhao have been dependent on each other, and their lips are cold. Qin has attacked me, Zhao has sent troops, Qin has attacked Zhao, and our Chu should rescue each other. All the time, they have joined forces, because of their own thoughts and greed for small profits, and they cannot attack Qin. In the past, in the Battle of Lantian, our army would be able to attack Xianyang for a long time, but Han and Wei were attacked by the Qin people and therefore attacked me, and the army had to retreat. Now, Han and Wei countries were heartbroken when talking about this matter. If Han and Wei were not moved by the Qin people, how could they have been today's difficulties?"

The Battle of Lantian was a revenge battle carried out by Chu State for the defeat of Danyang. At that time, the Qin army attacked Qi, and the country's troops were insufficient. If they could attack for a long time, they might have really eliminated Xianyang. This was the closest Qin State to destroying the country, so the Chu people always sighed whenever they mentioned it. Han Wei mentioned it, and regretted it. Shen Yin and Yi knew what everyone was thinking, so that everyone would mention it specifically so that everyone could rebel against the Qin Alliance Zhao.

The Chu and Qin had a good marriage for hundreds of years, and they were all buried in the Battle of Danyang, which was bullied by Zhang Yi and sent troops to the anger of King Huai of Chu. The disaster of Chu seemed to have begun from this. Chuisha and Yan Ying were killed and lost their territory in every battle, and they were in a mess. Until today, they actually hoped that Zhao would send troops to rescue him.

"I ask the king to summon Qin envoys to discuss and make a decision." Everyone was full of hatred for the Qin people, and Song Yu spoke at this time.

"That's right. I'll ask the king to summon Qin to meet and make a decision." Zhaoshu also said that he had always been cautious in such a major event.

"I also ask the king to summon the envoy Zhao to meet. Zhao State sent 200,000 troops to save me this time, so I should summon the envoy Zhao first." Zhen Yin Zi Mo said that like Shen Yin and Yi, he thought that Chu State was in charge of Zhao.

"I have something else." Zimo said again: "The test of the literary servant is scheduled to be mid-spring next year, but I heard that the king does not want to..."

"The literary servants only talk about songs and poems, how can they benefit the country?" Xiong Jing interrupted him. "In the era of great struggle, what country will use songs and poems to conquer cities and territory? I think that in the future, our Chu State will take the ranks and officials, and we should select the three rows in front of the army."

"King, this is the choice, and with..." Zi Mo originally wanted to say that he was incompatible with etiquette and law, but the king said that day, "I am a barbarian," and the etiquette and law were useless. He had to "get" for a long time and finally had to carry out his ancestors, "...it is incompatible with the ancestors' system."

"Shi Qing, is this incompatible with the ancestor's system?" Xiong Jing asked Xiang Youshi with a smile. He had the most say in this question.

"At the time of King Wu, King Wen, you must not be a official with military achievements," Xiong Jing asked this question before. If the Right Historian changed his words, it would be a deception to the king. Besides, this is all facts. The imperial edicts, classics, and historical books have been recorded. "At the time of King Ao, most of the officials in the court were generals and officials in the army, and so..."

"Okay." Xiong Jing signaled the Right Historian without saying anything. The further he went, he said that even the King of Chu himself was a general in the army. Except for the wizards, the rest were all soldiers in the court. "I have decided that in the future, Chu State will be selected from the three rows in front of the formation. This move is not to be a slander and want to use common people, but to make the children of our tribe abandon their civil and military affairs. Please give up the left disciple and the Grand Sima to think about how to select them."

Xiong Jing's intention was to change the customs of the children of the public so that they could abandon literature and follow martial arts, not to replace noble people with low esteem. Naojiu fully agreed with this. Although Zhaoshu was conservative, he still appointed noble children, and there were not much objection. After all, the Zhao family had many talents and all civil and military personnel. Shen Yin-Yu, Song Yu, Zimo, and the historians at the left were reluctant. They were civil officials and their children did not practice martial arts. The strategy of selecting scholars in Chu changed and could not accept it in an instant.

"King, in the midst of great struggle, the children of the princes should abandon literature and follow the military. However, the children have been practicing literature for a long time, and they have changed it rashly, for fear of changes. I think it may be reduced year by year, and there will be no more choices of scholars in ten years. Please think twice." Xiu Yin Sunyu, who gave the advice, was Xiu Yin and Sunyu. Although the whole country was in a good year, some rice and millet were still harvested today, but this is a small number, and most of the grain has been harvested into the warehouse. Because of this, Xiong Jing praised him a few words just now.

"What is the difference between this year and ten years?" Xiong Jing asked. Literary servants were selected every three years, and there were very few scholars, but just like buying lottery tickets, the scholars were looking for hope. If this time, there would be next time, and if there would be next time, there would be next time. The most common candidates in Chu State were to choose officials, especially in the lower-level counties and towns. People with status lobbyed for a few words to the county Yin Yiyin and recommended people as officials. In addition, this is hereditary, especially technical officials, most of whom were hereditary.

"Starting next year, scholars can transfer to military academy. If they have talent, they can also become officials in the future." Taking away hope, they have to give another hope, Xiong Jing said.

"Military school?" Xiu Yin didn't understand. It seemed that this matter had been discussed once, and the former king was still there at that time.

When it comes to the military academy, people naturally remind them of Huang Xie's disciples. Zhao Shu asked: "I dare to ask the king, how should the fief of the emperor Huang Xie be dealt with? There are many guests. If the fief of his disciples is collected, the guests will have no food to eat, and they will disperse; if the fief of his disciples is not collected..."

Huang Xie's original fiefdom was the twelve counties in Huaibei. After the re-enactment of Wu land, it occupied almost the entire Wu Kingdom. The land collection was a foregone conclusion, and there were some special points to how much land it could be collected and where it was collected. The land collection involved the disciples. Huang Xie had many disciples, including many talented people.

"This matter was decided by Zhaoqing and Naoqing, and the result was to tell him that he was not honest." Xiong Jing handed over the matter to Zhaoshu and Naojiu.

"King, what should the disciples do?" Zhao Shu seemed to have some insight and asked the disciples again.

"You and the other two will discuss the problem." Xiong Jing said again. He suddenly realized that he should have set up a prime minister like Qin.

"As for orders." The two bowed together. Shen Yin-Ying, Zi Mo and others felt uncomfortable watching from the side. After this incident, the king would rely on both of them in the future.

"If it's his business, then let's step down for the time being." After discussing the government for a long time, Xiong Jing was also tired. "Tomorrow, the envoy Zhao will be summoned, and Qin will go to the main hall to see what they said."

"Wi." After all the major matters were discussed, only the Alliance Zhao and Qin were left. After Xiong Jing said this, all the ministers retreated.

"Prince..." The empty bed suddenly laughed a woman's laughter. This was Mi Yu. She was curious about how Xiong Jing discussed it, so she hid in the side room early. As soon as the court officials left, she jumped out and said in Xiu Yin's tone: "...Please think twice."

"Don't mess around, be careful of your mother's punishment." Xiong Jing was young, but he could drink Mi Yan every time, as if he was an older brother.
