"What purpose, please!" Qi Xiaobai said to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan was silent for a while and said: "King Huai is about to die......" Xiang Yan said this, he was silent for a long time, Qi Xiaobai was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect Xiong Huai to die.

At the time of the emperor's funeral, although he felt that Xiong Huai was not good-looking, he was still able to defeat Luo Fangshi, but he didn't expect that after this period of time, this Xiong Huai would actually return to the west.

Xiong Huai's age is the best period of his life, when he was in his early twenties, Xiong Huai had the posture of ten thousand enemies, and he also had an excellent strategy.

With his own strength, the state of Chu that was about to fall was put on the regular, if King Chu Huai was present, maybe he would lead the army to attack the Central Plains again and complete what the previous Chu kings did not complete.

But maybe it's because of the jealousy of the talent, King Chu Huai because of the original defeat to the Wei State, so that he has a stomach full of anger in his heart, over time, in addition to the small illness of catching a cold, and in addition to his brows and diligent in government affairs, it slowly became a serious illness, and now it is terminally ill.

King Chu Huai is different from Qi Xiaobai, although Chu has a large land and the strongest comprehensive strength, there are many problems to deal with, which requires Xiong Huai to do it himself.

It is also because King Chu Huai does many things himself, and his own ability is very great, which also creates that there are very few talents in Chu State.

After all, you are so strong, you basically can't use us, King Chu Huai gives people the impression that he is superior in force and his military strategy is the top in the empire, but few people will say that King Chu Huai is also a talent for governing the country.

It's just that King Chu Huai's military force and military are too dazzling, which makes people ignore his ability to govern the country.

It can be imagined that without the talent of King Chu Huai to govern the country, would the State of Chu be able to launch so many attacks on the Central Plains?

The state of Chu is a vassal state of the feudal system, many of the scholars have their own fiefs, their own soldiers, before King Chu Huai succeeded to the throne, these scholars have strong self-control, Chu has the name of the crown of princes, but can not exert the power of the crown of princes.

Even after King Chu Huai succeeded to the throne, it would be difficult for him to exert all his strength, but he was much better than his ancestors, and he could gather the strength of these warriors for a short period of integration.

The succession of King Huai of Chu did not make the division more serious, but there was a situation of integration, which made the princes once again have awe of the central government of Chu.

If it weren't for King Chu Huai succeeding to the throne, in a few years, maybe Chu would have become like the Zhou Empire, and the central government was just a joke.

Perennial efficient work, irregular work and rest, plus a lot of sulking, and contracted illness, so the time of King Chu Huai is short.

When he heard that King Chu Huai was not good, Qi Xiaobai immediately expressed great sadness, during the time he became a monarch, Qi Xiaobai knew that as a monarch, he mainly had superb acting skills.

"Brother, how could my brother not work? He's only in the prime of life! Qi Xiaobai said in a mournful voice, the word brother is very kind.

Xiang Yan knew that Qi Xiaobai and King Chu Huai had married as brothers with different surnames, and the brother was going to die now, so he would feel sad somewhat.

In fact, Qi Xiaobai doesn't have much affection for Xiong Huai, after all, the two brothers have rarely met each other and haven't gotten along much.

As for what is said to be like old at first sight, brothers cherish each other in the past, this is all accumulated over time, not to mention that between the monarchs of the country, how can there be brotherly love?

But after all, it is a sworn brother, when he learned that his sworn worship was going to die, Qi Xiaobai still showed great grief, but Qi Xiaobai wanted to cry, but found that he couldn't get tears.

"Duke Huan, don't be too sad, after all, everyone has to be born, old, sick and die, although King Huai became a king at a young age and shocked the entire southern part of the empire, but no matter what, he is a person, and he will face death in the end!" Xiang Yan is the confidant of King Chu Huai, King Chu Huai is going to die, he is actually very sad.

Of course, the main generation of emperors and ministers, after the death of King Chu Huai, he still didn't know what kind of person the new lord was.

Therefore, Xiang Yan also does not want to change the new master, but birth, old age, sickness and death are not something he can control.

"I know that King Huai is going to die, I express that I am very sad, and when King Huai dies, I will send someone to give me a good condolence!" Qi Xiaobai said to Xiang Yan.

Xiang Yan got rid of it: "King Huai asked me to come this time in the hope that Duke Huan can do him a favor!" ”

"What's the busy?" Qi Xiaobai asked puzzled.

"Kill all his sons!" Xiang Yan said to Qi Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai trembled when he heard it, and he looked at Xiang Yan: "You are a fake message, can you be guilty?" ”

Because of the blood alliance, the sons of King Chu Huai are all in Qi State, and they are all in charge of Qi Xiaobai.

Xiang Yan said with tears in his eyes: "This is King Huai's order, only Xiong Su's life will be left, and the rest of the children will be killed!" ”

Xiong Su is not the biological son of King Chu Huai, but his righteous son......

"This matter is very important, I will send someone to find out!" Qi Xiaobai said to Xiang Yan, this matter of killing the son of King Chu Huai is an important matter, Qi Xiaobai does not dare to mess around, in case because of the killing of King Chu Huai's son, the state of Chu and the state of Qi will become enemies, and the gains outweigh the losses.

In fact, what Xiang Yan said is true, Xiong Huai is dying, he wants to use a knife on his son, this is to ensure that Xiong Su can succeed to the throne and there is no competitor.

It stands to reason that the father died and the son succeeded, and Xiong Huai died, so it should be his eldest son to succeed to the throne, but Xiong Huai's eldest son is too young to succeed to the throne.

And this is the most critical moment for the Chu State, and there must be someone who is about the same age, at least almost twenty years old, to succeed him.

The most suitable person for this is Xiong Su, the son of his brother, his righteous son, but Xiong Su succeeds to the throne, and his son will definitely be dissatisfied.

Although the children are all young, they all have the power of their maiden family, and he is worried that Xiong will not be able to fight them, so let them succeed to the throne.

In fact, it is natural for his sons to succeed to the throne, but these sons are too young, and their mother's family is still a scholar, after they succeed to the throne, they are afraid that they will be made into puppets by the forces of their relatives, and the Chu State will change their surname.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the people of the Xiong family can succeed to the throne of Chu, Xiong Huai decided to kill his own children and let his brother's children succeed him.

Although Xiong Su is not very old, he is the most suitable candidate, at least Xiong Su's relatives are weak, and if they don't have strong relatives, they won't become puppets.

In order to eliminate Xiong Su's opponents, he wants to kill all his children, and then appoint several ministers to help Xiong Su.

In fact, Xiong Huai couldn't kill his own son, so he handed it over to Qi Xiaobai to do, in fact, he didn't want to do it in his heart, but as a monarch, for the sake of the Chu State and the Xiong family, he had to do this, only in this way could the orthodoxy of the Xiong family be guaranteed.
