Chapter 42 Ling Yin

Zijinshan Shipyard celebrates the successful launch of the two sea boats. Yingdu Dating, a unique election is underway. Yin Chengjie of Xi County and Naojiuan, the current ruling Yin, sat outside the thatched door, and wooden slips were thrown into the box in front of him. Each piece of wooden slip was thrown into the voter. The voter would read a number, such as: Five Thousand Arms in Xiyang, and then the gurus would sing a sentence to show who the five Thousand Arms had voted for.

At this time, there were no more representatives from Lu, except for representatives from Lu, and no more than those Chinese people who were present. They were either county officials and yinzi themselves or their confidants, and there were also representatives of honorary scholars from Wu, Song. There was no nonsense or promises, but only competition for the number of soldiers.

"The eight thousand Jias of Ku County have been to the cunning." The gurus hoped that cunning would win. Whenever a wooden slip was thrown into the cunning box, their voices would be very loud, and on the contrary, they would be mediocre and seem to have no full meal.

"There are eight thousand armors in Ku County?" The Yin Gong of the Grand Court shook his head repeatedly when he heard the sound. The current situation is a little bad for Cheng Jie. The Yushi mastered the Song Dynasty and Wu territory, and the Yue territory may also be in the vain. It is almost difficult to win by relying on Huai Shang, the counties and counties on the Huai River, and Huainan counties.

"Mr. Cai, what should I do?" Shen Yinyi, the Duke of Qinxian County, rushed to Cai Wen with a long face.

"Don't be anxious, there are also soldiers from Lu." Cai Wen blinked and looked at the representatives of Lu Lu Kong Qian, Meng Zhao and others.

"Will Lu vote for us? Wu Xuan was just..." Shen Yinyi said in confusion. On the day of contracting the temple, someone in her husband's clan threatened Wu Qi's descendant Wu Xuan, saying that he would fight to the death with him. Wu Xuan was afraid and fled to Lu.

"What's the big deal about Wu Xuan?" Cai Wen still leaked his voice. "Does the Lu people fight against the Qin people? If they don't fight, they will naturally have to throw their soldiers to me."

Fengli had already entered Qin, but there were still two voices in Chu. In addition to those who expected Chu and Qin to stop the war and peace, the royal party represented by Ling Yin Naojiu still believed that the Qin people would be untrustworthy and that the battle between Chu and Qin was inevitable. If it were not for the fact that many people from outside the country believed that they should be punished for the death of their horses, they would never agree to Fengli's entry into Qin.

Continuing the dispute over whether to join Qin, the county magistrates who were worried that Naojiu would unilaterally provoke the war in Chu and Qin had to launch a person to run for the imperial court. Xiong Jing had no objection to this. He had promised that the imperial court of Chu would be elected by various counties and towns in the future by the imperial court rather than appointed by him. The property division between the Grand Palace and the Lingyin's mansion had also ended, and the power and responsibility of the Lingyin was also very clear.

"Shouling's two thousand armors were submitted to Chengjie." The number of soldiers in Chengjie and Naojing's alternately increased, but because the Song Dynasty lands were both surrendering to Naojing, Chengjie was more than 30,000 less than Naojing. Shouling Jun, who was a husband's clan, surrendered the wooden slip with the two thousand armors in his hand to Chengjie, then turned around and bowed to the county's imperial court. The suppressed atmosphere suddenly became active.

"How could Shouling Jun have two thousand soldiers?" Many people whispered. Shouling is just a small town south of Yingdu, and the two thousand soldiers are incredible.

"My family leader lost all his wealth and summoned private soldiers, with a total of 1,500 people." Amid the suspicion, Shouling Jun's family priest came out to refute the rumors, which immediately attracted everyone's praise.

"Private soldiers are not worthy of money. I wonder if Shouling Jun has food?" The standard for the soldiers of the army was later added, that is, the counties and towns that sent troops must ensure that the soldiers' food and fodder for a year were twelve months. It is easy to summon private soldiers, but with the current price of millet before the Chu State 150, it is not easy to supply the food and fodder for a year.

"My family leader has purchased 50,000 shi of grain from Wei State, and the grain has arrived in Pengcheng. The Grand Sima Mansion can go to verify." The family priest proudly announced that the word "Wei State" was very pronounced. Wei State is already an enemy country, and it is indeed an amazing ability to buy food from Wei State.

"The Grand Sima Mansion will go to Pengcheng to verify." The person who asked was a minor official from the Grand Sima Mansion Fu Jisi, and his voice became weaker when he heard this.

"Sui County has 25,000 Yuan and the soldiers have been sent to the scene." After Shoulingjun, Sui County Yin Mubo came up. Sui County is a big county, but the 25,000 Yuan soldiers still shocked the people present, but Muboxin said nothing, and he hurriedly ended after voting.

"The five thousand soldiers from Xiling cast Chengjie." Relying on the counties west of the Dabie Mountains, Chengjie's backward figure finally came up little by little. At this time, Xiong Jing was already on the way back, and he had seen the sails, and was generally satisfied.

"Jing'er, do you really believe in those husbands?" When smashing the bottle, Concubine Zhao was excited. She felt that she had done something to leave a name in history. It was the first sea boat in the Chu State. This sea boat might be able to recover the Three Valleys of Dongzhou in a few years.

"Whoever is doing Lingyin is like this." Xiong Jing smiled. "In this way, the court battles will not involve the king. If they want power, they will fight for the position of Lingyin."

"That's true." Concubine Zhao couldn't help but nodded. As she nodded, she remembered the envoy of Zhao who had been in Yingdu for a long time. She couldn't speak for a moment: If Cheng Jie, Xi County, was asked to be the chief minister, Zhao would not be able to save him.

"My mother, don't worry about Zhao State." Xiong Jing knew Zhao's concerns. "As far as the child saw, the Qin army would inevitably attack our Chu State. Next month is August, and the Qin army will no longer attack Zhao State in August."

"Oh." Qin either attacked its own mother country or its son Chu. Concubine Zhao had to breathe a sigh, "If the king had not ordered Zhao Kuo to be a general back then, Qin would not be so rampant!"

"No matter how rampant the Qin army is, it will be defeated by the Chu army." Xiong Jing sighed a little as he looked at Huai Shang.

"Jing'er, the Chu State has been in war for three years, and the price of grain in Yingdu has risen to 150 cents. The people cannot eat food, so they can only eat wild taro bean soup. I promised my mother that if I can really reconcile this time, I will be harmonious with Qin." Concubine Zhao warned. "If the people can rest, it will not be too late to fight with Qin in the future."

"Mother, the only country in the world, I, Chu, do not accept Qin. As long as the King of Qin is alive, he will not give up." Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, and he also wanted to make peace.

"What if Jing'er pretends to surrender to the King of Qin?" Concubine Zhao looked at her son, afraid that he would make the mistakes of the King's brother back then.

"Mother, if the child surrenders to the King of Qin, the King of Qin will have to perform great skills and a big winged boat. Both of these should not be offered." Xiong Jing saw the pleasure boat on the shore and rushed to support Concubine Zhao before the temple's people.

"So what about offering?" Concubine Zhao still couldn't understand the importance of these two things. "If you don't negotiate peace again, the price of millet..."

"Report to the king," a temple man hurried over, "The choice of the emperor..."

"Say." Xiong Jing's voice sank and he instantly guessed the result.

"Report to the king, Cheng Jie has more than a thousand more soldiers than Naojiu," the temple man bit the bullet and reported the bad news.

"More than a thousand more soldiers?" Xiong Jing's face did not change any abnormally. "Can the soldiers in various places be converted?"

The Grand Sima Mansion has no time to personally test the combat power of the soldiers in various places, so the generals can only draw a fair number based on the previous situation of the soldiers in each county. In other words, the soldiers in each county must give this discount to be considered real soldiers. This number is the final number of the election. Of course, these soldiers also need to add food and grass.

"Report to the king, but it's also. After the conversion, Cheng Jie still had more than a thousand more armor." The temple man said and was swept back by Xiong Jing.

"Mother, baby..." Xiong Jing frowned again.

"Go." Concubine Zhao helplessly summoned Mi Li onto the carriage. When Mi Li got on the carriage, she grimaced at Xiong Jing.

"King, I am dereliction of duty." On the ground, I bowed to the ground. Everyone had calculated the outcome many times before, thinking that the worst and worst could win the 500th A. But I thought I would lose more than 1,000 A.

"The kings are all the Shouling Lord!" Zhao Shu said angrily, "This person has 1,500 private soldiers, and I don't know about it before."

"Does he have food?" Xiong Jing knew that Shoulingjun was Huang Xie's best friend and was protected by her husband's clan a few months ago.

"Yes. He bought 50,000 stones of corn from Wei." Yi Tu's face was tense, and his eyes were almost bursting out. In just half an hour, he had gone to Pengcheng to find out that 50,000 stones of corn entered the country from Wei. "You must not hand over the power to them."

"Why can't you hand over power?" Xiong Jing was very surprised.

"They are all those who are greedy and afraid of death. I am worried that they will be ill-treated to the king." Yi Tu couldn't accept this election result, but this was what Xiong Jing agreed to.

"Cheng Jie has become the chief minister, and his power is in his hands. Our soldiers have only lost more than a thousand. If you want to behave in a bad manner, will they dare?" Xiong Jing raised his voice. "Besides, they have great power, why does this happen?"

"The king really wants Cheng Jie as the ordination?" Zimo widened his eyes. He never thought that the ordination campaign was real.

"Do you think the Buying is telling a lie?" Xiong Jing was about to be so angry that he was so angry. It turned out that this guy looked at him.

"Master, please see Cheng Jie." The envoy suddenly ran up the steps. Everyone looked at Cheng Jie and his group were already standing outside the gate.

"Summon." Xiong Jing knew what Cheng Jie was doing, so he turned around and asked Chang Jiang to go and get the talisman of the emperor.

"I have met the king." More than a dozen county magistrates surrounded Cheng Jie and went to the hall, including Shouling Jun.

"No gift." Xiong Jing's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes still looked at these people carefully. In addition to Cheng Jie and Shouling Jun, there were also Xia Cai County Yin Cai Wen, Xu County Duke Shen Yinyi, Sui County Yin Mu Boxun, E Ping, E County King of E County, Qisi County Yin Guixia, Juyang Yin Peng Li, Xiang Que, Xiang County Yin, and Tang County Yin Dou Yu Zhi. The other Xiong Jing only remembers the appearance and does not remember the name of the family.

"Does the king believe the words?" Chengsuke, who won, was still a little suspicious. Fortunately, his bedroom was just a rustic platform and he could no longer hide any palace armor.

"The promise of the king is not a joke." Xiong Jing despised him. He glanced at Changjiang, and Changjiang immediately stepped forward and presented the box containing Lingyin's bronze talisman.

"I thanked the king." Cheng Jie took the box and bowed a lot. The rest of the people followed him to bow. The excitement was hard to express. No one could have imagined that the transfer of power was so simple that there was no need to leave a drop of blood.
