Chapter 26 Sleeping

At dawn, the rain stopped. When we walked on the streets of Yingdu in the morning, if we hadn't seen the green branches broken by the wind from time to time on the road and heard the rushing rain in the ravines beside the road from time to time, anyone would have forgotten that Yingdu experienced a storm last night.

Gong Yindao got up very early. Last night, Chunshenjun's guest Zhu Guan hurriedly came to see him and discussed the so-called "countermeasures" of the water truck for a night. The purpose is of course to stop the king from letting Prince Jing take charge of the water truck manufacturing. Prince Jing can make a water truck for 300 coins, and a mansion can also make 300 coins - 300 coins are definitely not enough, but in order to compete for the position of prince, there is no way to pay for money inside.

The wealth of Chu State lies in the throne, the ministers, and officials at all levels. It takes more than 10,000 yuan to build 10,000 water trucks, which is equivalent to more than half of the national agricultural tax in a year. But there is no way to make Wang Zijing build 300 yuan water trucks. If you really want Wang Zijing to build 300 yuan water trucks, you can just wait to lose your official position. Zuo Tu Zhaoshu and other husbands, such as Ji Lingjun, who are pitiful landless monarchs, will definitely instigate Wang Zijing, who succeeds to the throne, to seize everyone's benefits. If you don't pay the money now, you will have no chance to pay the money in the future.

The car drove slowly and the streets were cool. Yin Dao was a little impatient for the court. He felt that today he would definitely repay the kindness of Chunshenjun that year, so that Zhaoshu and others could completely miscalculate. However, when he arrived at the Maomen Court, he suddenly realized something was wrong: Zuo Tu Zhaoshu, who had always arrived early, was not here, Zimo and Naojiu were not here, and Chunshenjun, and old minister Song Yu... These people were completely gone.

Did the king not look at the court today? Other court officials waiting to start the court also found problems. They looked at me, and I looked at you, for some reason. Gong Yindao had to mutter alone in his heart, and then looked at the things written on the jade scepter: a single water truck costs 350 yuan, a double water truck costs 420 yuan, and a Niulu Water Truck 615 yuan. This was the price that was urgently calculated and negotiated last night, and it was also reported to the king to prevent Wang Zijing from being responsible for the manufacture of the water truck, and even a water truck asked everyone to pay more than 1,000 yuan.

"The time comes, enter the court!" The magistrate opened for a while, and the gurus was extremely long-lasting. The important officials were not there, and the first ones to enter the court were Gong Yindao, Gao Kubonan, Shi Zhi, and then the Fengjun doctor on the right side of the magistrate.

"Where is the Lingyin?" In the court, while everyone had not yet decided to follow the shift, Shi Huishi asked in a low voice.

The chief accounting for national finance. Gaoku is the general warehouse that coordinates the national inventory of materials under the Lingyin Mansion. They are not as important as Gong Yin Gao, who is the leader of all labourers in the country. However, Gong Yin's status is not because of managing hundreds of labourers, but because Gong Yin wants to go out with the army. Gong Yindao takes his post as his surname, and many of his ancestors die on the battlefield.

"The Zuo Tu, the Grand Sima, is not here, there must be a big deal in the palace." Gong Yindao didn't want it to be fine, but he was shocked when he thought about it: Is the King...

"Does the king look at the court?" Gao Kubonan looked at the door with a dull look.

"I don't know." Gong Yindao was absent-minded. If the king really died, who would be the crown prince? How would Zixue deal with it? How would he deal with it?

As the court gathered more and more people gathered, the Gong Yindao felt colder and colder. After finally waiting for the sun to come out, it was the time when the king looked at the court. The lieutenant was unexpectedly silent. After waiting for a while, everyone was finally panicked - something must have happened in the palace.

The morning court began to panic, but Yan Chao inside the road gate was quiet.

Zuo Tu Zhaoshu, Zhen Yin Zimo, Grand Sima Naoji, Taibu Guanji, Grand Priest Shen Yin and Lu, Zuo Yin Meng Zhengqin, old minister Song Yu, Fu Feng Guanzi of Prince Jing... All the important officials in the court are here. However, the king who should have sat in the middle of Yan Dynasty is gone, and the emperor Huang Xie, who should have sat in the lower left of the king, was nowhere to be seen.

There is nothing to worry about. Last night, the king was in a state of illness, and the envoys in the palace summoned each other with three verses. Zhaoshu and his son, Mo, were worried about the death of the king. Before the crown prince was established, the death of the king might really happen at this time. Fortunately, the rebellion of the five princes mentioned by the gods was blessed by the king. Fortunately, the gods blessed the king and survived the night. When the wind and rain were about to stop, he fell asleep. Just now, he summoned the emperor Huang to rest.

Except for Taibu Guanji and Zuo Yinmeng Zhengqin, all of them are Jing Party. What the king and Huang Xie say is not important. What is important is that the king is still alive and the king is still alive. Only then can he calmly build momentum and make arrangements. It is only a matter of time before Prince Jing becomes the crown prince and ascends the throne and becomes king.

In the silence, Zhaoshu's eyes met with Feng Guanzi's eyes in the air. Although the two of them had the same idea, they didn't want to communicate too much with each other, and they could avoid their eyes at once. Zimo smiled at Feng Guanzi, as if he was apologizing for what happened last night.

"Summon - Zuo Tu, Grand Sima, and Doctor Song went to bed." The voice of the chief servant Jiang came from the dormitory on the east side. The gurus here immediately told Zhaoshu and others, "The king summoned three nobles, please."

"Yeah." Zhao Shu nodded, stood up and stroked the crown, and then touched the jade on the left. If you don't wear jade, you don't want to untie the jade on the belt, but to tie the jade on the left. After carefully checking for any rudeness, Zhao Shu and the Grand Sima Naojiu and the old minister Song Yu walked towards the dormitory.

The dormitory was dark, and the red mats on the ground were a little black. After passing through several curtains, Zhaoshu saw the King of Chu leaning against the bed, half covered with a large yellow silk quilt with dragon and phoenix patterns. On one side of the bed was the chief servant Jiang who was bent with his body; on the other side was Xiong Jing, wearing a black cloak, with a wooden look on his face. Ling Yin Huang Xie knelt in front of the bed, with a very solemn expression.

"My name Zhaoshu, Naojiu, Song Yu pays homage to the king." Zhaoshu, Naojiu, Song Yu pays homage to each other in unison.

"No gift." Xiong Yuan's voice was very small, very tired, but very clear.

"I will make Jing'er the eldest son... cough..." Xiong Yuan looked at Zhaoshu, Naojiu, Song Yu and the other two, as if they were talking too quickly, and immediately coughed. Fortunately, he adjusted his breathing and breathed before continuing: "Is it okay to use Doctor Song as his master and you and others as your protection?"

"I... I respectfully accept the order." Zhaoshu looked at Huang Xie, and saw that he was still solemn, so he bowed his head and bowed.

"I respectfully accept the order." Song Yu, Naojiu, was not as worried as Zhaoshu, and he was paying his order while bowing down.

"Good." Seeing the three of them accepting the order, Xiong Yuan seemed to sigh relieved. "The tree on my tomb has sprouted. I used to be a concubine, and wanted to establish a fierce man, but my Chu State was so desolate, and the external troubles became more and more intense. The fierce and innocent man could not be the king of a country, and could not become the ruler of the country. Jing'er was smart and polite, and he had his own strategy in his heart. I cherished his youth and was difficult to govern, so I asked my son to stop. Doctor Song and Mr. Guan of Feng were his masters, and asked you and others to protect him..."

Xiong Yuan spoke very slowly, but fortunately he spoke clearly. Naojiu and Song Yu didn't care who was the crown prince's tutor and who was the crown prince's tutor. Zhaoshu was thinking about the candidate for the crown prince's tutor and the crown prince's tutor. As the imperial court of the three dynasties, it was not surprising that Song Yu, an old minister of the three dynasties, could also be the tutor, but Xun Qing was the crown prince's tutor... I'm afraid it was Huang Xie's idea.

After King Hui, all the countries talked about reform. The essence of the reform was nothing more than weakening the power of the king, decreasing the power of important officials, and strengthening the king. Zhaoshu didn't care how the law changed and what the result would be. However, a disciple of Zhao's clan once summarized a rule: that is, all the countries who presided over the reform were foreign ministers.

Li Li, a native of Wei, reformed the law in Wei State;

Wu Qi, a native of Wei, reformed the law in Chu;

Shang Yang, a native of Wei, reformed the Qin State;

Shen Buhe, a native of Zheng, reformed the law in South Korea;

Zou Ji, a native of Zhu, reformed the country in Qi;

Le Yi, a native of Zhongshan, reformed the country of Yan;

Why is this? Is it because there are no talents in the reform of the countries? No. It is because there are no talents in the reform of the countries, but because the scholars of the countries are unable to kill the nobles of their own country. And the king also needs a foreign minister to shirk responsibility, so that the anger of the people can be calmed down afterwards. Isn’t Qin, the most successful reform of the country, just because the chariot split Shang Yang to vent the anger of the people?

The prince Fu Baozhong, Feng Guanzi, Xun Qing, were all from Zhao, and they all wanted to implement reforms in Chu and show their ambitions. It is unknown whether they will expel them or carriages in the future. That was later. What Zhaoshu was really worried about was that the Duke of Chu might be in trouble with Wu Qi again.

Could it be that the only way to not be destroyed by Qin is to become another Qin?

After thinking a lot, Zhao Shu was worried about Xiong Yuan's slow words, but this was not the only thing he was worried about. He only heard the King of Chu say slowly: "Before the eldest son was crowned, he ordered the Yin Mansion to take charge of his son Xie... The main mansion was still entrusted to Zi Shu."

According to the custom of Chu, it takes twenty years to add the crown, which means that Huang Xie has to be the chief magistrate for more than ten years. Huang Xie is already a hundred years old in more than ten years. Can he survive until then? And is this the condition that Huang Xie agreed to make Prince Jing the crown prince?

"King, what if someone does something unfair?" Zhaoshu spoke bluntly, everyone's faces turned cold. Huang Xie took a special look at Zhaoshu, and then turned his head back.

"Haha... cough cough..." Xiong Yuan smiled. "Don't say that Jing'er was born and knew it, I believe it. Jing'er said yesterday that the day when the King of Qin was crowned was the time of Changxin Hou's rebellion. Lao Ai was executed, Lu Xiang was dismissed, the King of Qin was in power alone, Zhao State... cough cough... The demise of Zhao State has only been more than ten years. If our Chu State cannot be united in the king and ministers..."

Born to know is Zimo's exaggerated words. Even Zhaoshu may not take this seriously, but the king believes it. Hearing this, Zhaoshu, Naoji, Song Yu looked at Xiong Jing, and Huang Xie also looked at Xiong Jing. The Qin King added a crown last month. It took only more than a month for the news to come. In other words, it will be known in more than ten days that Prince Jing's "born to know" is true or false.

Is this true? Are there really people who are born to know? If the saint king surrendered to Chu, will the Great Chu prosper?

The four important officials watched him, but Xiong Jing was still hunched.

Things happened very urgently. They were made the crown prince overnight and they would ascend the throne to the king in a year at most.

Although I used to deduce the Chu State's plan with Yu Guanzi, it was just a temple calculation, and it would not be true to talk about war on paper. Now, I have become a king with an 800-year-old kingdom, and bear the honor and disgrace of the Xiong clan for a long time, which has influenced the fate of more than three million people...
