Chapter 22 Entering the Palace 2
The four doors of the main hall are all open, and seven large tripods are lined up into the character "A". In the raging flames, the soup with oil flowers continues to surging. The fragrance of venison can be smelled even when standing at the road gate. This is a deer tamed in the palace gardens. In ancient times, the army often hunts deer for food when they go on war. Now in this world, there are no forests in the Huai River to the Yellow River, and there are almost no deer herds. Even the nobles are rare. Deer herds in Chu are even rarer. When the fragrance of venison is smelled, some county magistrates swallowed their saliva.
"The king is trusted." Under the southern steps, the Yin of Xiyang Zengxia, who heard the meat-scented fingers, couldn't help but shout.
"The king is the one who is the king." The other county officials and Yinyin nodded to each other. A few people actually rolled up their sleeves and prepared to have a full meal. However, Zhaoshu was not seen. The soldiers beside Song Yu followed the two of them, almost close to the bodyguard.
"The king asked the emperor to enter the palace." After saying that, the guru shouted habitually: "Sup, rise, rise, rise..."
Everyone took off their steps and went to the hall. The more they rose, the more the meat smelled stronger, but after they went to the hall, they saw the door of the Mingtang open wide, and their eyes passed through the dark room, as if they saw some figures in the central court. No one dared to act rashly, and everyone bowed to the hall and shouted: "I will pay homage to you on the order of the king, and pay homage to the king."
"The king has an order. All the yins come to the court to have a feast." The voice of the temple's man came from inside. The Sanlu doctor Qu Sui was walking out of the room and greeted him with a smile.
"I am so proud of the order." All of my thoughts, the county magistrates bowed again and hurried into the hall and walked to the central court.
Since the glass was burned out, the Zhongting Court laid a few bright tiles. The Zhongting Court, which was originally dark during the day, finally brightened up. The sunlight passed through the bright tiles and fell on the boiling copper cauldron. Not far from the front was the king's mat, and behind the mat was the open space where the advocates danced. There were rows of seats on both sides. There were knives, scoops on the short table in front of the table. The gulls and spoons were all ready, but the king was not seen. Without waiting for everyone to doubt, the head of the guru Jiang stood under the throne and said, "Please come to the table."
"The emperor asked, the doctor Song asked, the doctor Qu asked." With his status, Zhaoshu was the highest, Song Yu was the next, Qu Sui again, and the emperor had to wait for these three people to attend the seat first. After the three people entered the seat, Cai Wen was the oldest in the qualification of Cai County Duke, and he had to invite him to attend the seat first. After this, he pushed him to wait for dozens of people to sit down, which took more than a moment. After sitting down, he only smelled the fragrance of meat and did not see the king. Everyone became suspicious again, not understanding why the king had not appeared even after he invited him to have a feast.
‘Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong…’ The sound of the drum suddenly sounded, and followed by the rustling sound of the armored pieces colliding and friction as the armored pieces ran. The sound came from all sides, and this was the armored soldiers climbing the stairs.
"It's a fraud!" Everyone entered the court and had not yet untied their swords. Cheng Jie kicked the short table and shouted to draw the sword.
"Why is this?!" Cai Wen looked at Zhao Shu and Song Yu Qu Sui, who were also surprised, and the old man was trembling all over.
"The king has no faith!" Zeng Xia also pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted in resentment.
‘Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow…’ Gong Jia climbed the steps from all sides and rushed into the hall. He immediately surrounded the entire Zhonggong. The spear and blade were huge, and the cold light shone. Everyone was angry and hated, and had to retreat to the position of the Zhonggong's singing and dancing. Everyone drew their swords to fight. Some even cursed: “Where is Zhuzi Xiong Jing? What is Zhuzi Xiong Jing? I am not convinced! I am not convinced! I am going to fight with you!”
"The king must not be provoked by evil people." Dou Yuzhi was also panicked. He didn't expect this to be a trap.
"Zhaoshu is a man!" Someone was angry at Zhaoshu, Song Yu, Qu Sui and raised his sword to attack. The soldiers beside him hurriedly protected each other.
"No need!" Zhao Shu also looked surprised. He stopped the armored soldiers and walked to Peng Li, the Duke of Shangcai County who was about to stab him, and said loudly: "I, Zhao Shu, die with you." After that, he walked through the cauldron and stood with Zhu Yin, and Qu Sui was the same.
"Who said he was going to die?" Xiong Jing's slightly tender voice came from the general chapter on the west side. When the soldiers around him heard Xiong Jing's voice, they immediately lowered their spears, and their blades were sheathed, and all bowed: "I will pay homage to the king."
Then, the soldiers on the Zongzhang hurriedly gave up a path, allowing Xiong Jing, Yi Tu and others to pass through. At this time, Zhu Yin really saw Xiong Jing clearly. The child of Wei was more than five feet tall, but he wore a small black cloth crown without a crown, with a black robes on top and a plain robes on the bottom. When he walked, he had a gag and a jingle. He had innocent faces and looked at everyone with a proud look, and there was a hint of contempt when he looked at everyone. Everyone was confused, and Xiong Jing took Yi Tu and the left and right historians sat down on the throne openly.
"The venison is already ripe, why don't you come to the table to taste it?" Xiong Jing said as if nothing had happened, smelling the scent of the venison.
Before the soldiers retreated, everyone had no intention of eating meat. Zhaoshu, Qusui stopped a few county magistrates who were about to speak, ran to the king and sat down and bowed, "I wonder why the king is?"
"Why?" The soup was boiling, and Xiong Jing had to raise his voice a little. "If I were the ancestor Su, all the ministers would be dead."
"King?" Dou Yuzhi also stepped up and bowed. "Since the king is not the ancestor King Su, why not wave away the armored soldiers and get drunk with everyone."
"If the rebellion of Ao, the rebellion of Wu ministers, the rebellion of Wu Zixu, the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng, and the deaths of the seventy-two nobles of the nobles are all because of the rebellion of the royal power and the invasion of the clan power." Xiong Jing nodded and waved his head to retreat the palace armor, and ordered the temple people to remove the charcoal fire and let the soup simmer first, then he started to speak. "I thought that the people of Chu could unite in the past and work hard, but today they were like guarding against thieves. I wish I could kill all the wandering soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty and the officials of the whole country. However, things have come to this point and are irreversible. This is the sadness of my surname Mi."
"Since the king has thought about the surname Mi and has no intention of killing ministers, please leave the capital." Although Gong Jia left, he was still in Yingdu, and some county magistrates dared not stay here.
"The venison is already cooked, why not eat it all?" Xiong Jing pointed at the bronze tripod, looked at Changjiang again, asked Changjiang to invite everyone to the table, and then advocated the ceremony. The bells rang and began to sacrifice food. Xiong Jing was the king, the Yin was the minister, and Xiong Jing would sacrifice food. Zhuyin would sacrifice food, and the Yin would sacrifice food on the table and the wine on the ground. After three meals, the meat started to eat after three meals. The deer was stewed for a long time, and the meat was rotten in the mouth. After drinking the soup, the fragrance remained on his lips and teeth.
"Who wanted to fight against the male and female before?" Xiong Jing quickly became full, and he asked about what happened just now with interest.
"Report to the king, it's my minister." A fat man with a slut on his face walked to the court as everyone watched. Xiong Jing found that he was very cute, especially the pair of cross-eyed eyes. He knew that Xiong Jing did not know him, so he bowed and said, "I am Ao Shuo, and the Yin of Huqiu, paying homage to the king."
There were princes, princes, marquis, and Bozinan. The people of Chu did not have so many titles, only Ao. Ao was the king and the leader of the Chu people. However, not all leaders were qualified to be called Ao. Those who had to make contributions to the Chu people and convinced their clansmen could be called Ao. Later, Ao gradually became a posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumou
Xiao Ao is the descendant of Xiong Kan, the son of Xiong Kan of Ruo Ao, and the eldest father of King Wu of Chu. This is the husband's clan. Huqiu is on the bank of Rushui, ten miles downstream of Xincai County.
"Good! Give wine." Xiong Jing wine filled with wine and sent it to Changjiang. Xiao Ao Shuo was a little puzzled, but since he called King Xiong Jing, the king could not refuse, so he could only drink it all.
"I am young, and I will fight with Xiao Aoqing in the future." Xiong Jing looked at him and smiled, and people and animals were harmless.
"If the king does not kill his ministers and others, and does not infringe on the power of the clan, how dare the ministers compete with the king?" Xiao Ao Shuo was cross-eyed, but he wasn't stupid.
"Kill or kill all the ministers..." Everyone in the audience was watching, and Xiong Jing laughed again. "It's not about being unspoken, but about being innocent. One is about being with you, are you? Two is about being with you, what kind of armor are there in your hands? Three is about being angry with you, and others? Four is about being brave enough to rebel?"
"King..." Zhaoshu and others were shocked when they heard this, and the left and right Shishi was in vain.
"How?" Xiong Jing turned his head to look at them. "Is it the merit of my Xiong clan from a 50-mile land to a thousand-mile land today? No! It is the merit of the full surname of Mi, and the merit of Zhurong's descendants. For the benefit of Yi clan, he invaded other clans and harmed each other."
Xiong Jing said it very seriously, Zhaoshu and others were even more worried. They never expected that the king would say such stupid words. This was denying the Xiong royal power. If the royal power was unstable, the Chu State would be in chaos. The entire Yin of the Yin was instantly petrified. They were not feeling it, but afraid. Things go against the normal situation and there will be monsters, and there will be no good results.
"However," Xiong Jing looked around the audience. At this time, the central court was silent and everyone was listening to his words. "Xiong was a king for more than 800 years, and it was no longer easy. The unspoken thought that he could follow his father. The father did not ask about political affairs, and all the political affairs were handed over to the imperial court. Huang Xie. It was just that Huang Xie was ordered by his father, which was not appropriate. Therefore, the unspoken thought that the imperial court should be ordered by the imperial court from today. All the nobles and the famous scholars in the outside court."
"King?!" Zhaoshu was the most surprised. Although Naojiu recovered quickly, Xiong Jing said that he would not discuss Lingyin within ten years. But he had a great chance to be Lingyin ten years later. Unexpectedly, Naojiu is no longer Lingyin now.
"I am not sure about the words of the king." The old Cai Wen was pushed up by the Yin Yin. His teeth were leaking and his words were vague.
"It's easy." Xiong Jing suddenly felt like he was cutting his own flesh. "First, the royal power needs to be set limits, so what can be done and why should not be said clearly first. What is returned to the Grand Mansion, and what is returned to the Lingyin Mansion will also be said clearly first. From then on, the royal power and the power of the foreign court will do their own things, and there will be no relationship between the two. The power of the Lingyin is the same;
Secondly, you can recommend several candidates for the imperial court. If these people are not honest, you can do it, and if you don’t agree, you can change them. Then, everyone will be selected by the imperial court and the honorary scholars from the outside court. The winner will be the imperial court." Xiong Jing said this and looked at Xiao Ao Shuo again: "Xiao Aoqing, if you fight with the Qin army, how many soldiers can be sold out in Huqiu?"
"..." It has come to this point, and Xiao Ao Shuo did not hide it: "Report to the king, there are three thousand soldiers in Huqiu."
"If the only candidates for the imperial court at this moment are the Taifu and Zhaoqing, would you like the Taifu to be the imperial court, or would you like Zhaoqing to be the imperial court?" Xiong Jing asked again.
"My..." Zhaoshu dreamed of being the ruler. He stared at Xiao Ao Shuo, almost saying that he would choose me soon. Song Yu was old, and he had known the king's intention, and he just smiled. "I hope that Doctor Zhao will be the ruler." Xiao Ao Qing said.
"Good!" Xiong Jing nodded. "In this way, Zhaoqing will have three thousand armored soldiers under his command, and there will be no armored soldiers under his command. If no one will surrender again... and then surrender again, Zhaoqing, the three thousand armored soldiers under his command, will be the chief minister of our Chu State."
