The courtyard where the six gentlemen lived.

Liujun returned to the hall with a smile on his face, and his younger brother Liujing's heart moved when he saw this, and then asked expectantly: "Brother, my brother is happy to see you, but Dr. Sanlu accepted a bribe from his brother and promised to provide shelter for his brother in Yingdu and inform his brother of the news?" ”

Liujun smiled and shook his head.

Liu Jing was stunned, looked at the smile on Liujun's face again, and said strangely: "Brother shook his head, it is impossible that Qu Zhi did not agree to his brother!" ”

Liujun said with a smile: "It's not the third brother's knowledge, but my brother's visit to Dr. Sanlu this time can be described as a great harvest." Doctor Sanlu not only accepted the bribe from his brother, but also promised to report to me and speak for me in front of the king of Chu.

Moreover, the third brother must not have imagined that the Qu Department finally bribed his brother. ”

Saying that, Liujun immediately told Liujing the terms of his exchange with Qu Jing.

When Liu Jing heard that Qu Zhi had sent his sisters-in-law here, he was stunned for a while.

The change of the king of Chu has just begun, and it has not been directly aimed at the nobles in the country, because some people have fled in the nobles' families, and as a result, the clansmen of Qu Yuan, the patriarch of the reform faction, the great nobles of the Qu family, and the three Lu doctors, have not only quietly betrayed the king, but also begun to find a way out for themselves.

This is true even for the submission of those who originally supported the reform of the law, so what about the other princes of the court, such as Zuo Yin and others, who clearly opposed the change of the law from the beginning.

There is also Sima Jingque, according to the news from Hanbei County, Sima Jingque lost nearly 10,000 households and 10,000 hectares of fertile land in Hanbei County.

With such a loss, how can Sima be willing.

He heard that the last time the king changed the law, Sima Jingque didn't say a word in the court meeting. Although Jing Que did not oppose the change, he also did not open his mouth to support it.

It's just someone else, but Jing Que is different, thinking about Jing Que's loss in Hanbei, Liu Jing feels that Jing Que must be against changing the law in his heart.

Ling Yin, who didn't speak, Sima who didn't speak, Zuo Yin, who was clearly opposed, Xian Yin Tingli, etc., at this moment, Liu Jing suddenly found that the king seemed to be about to become a loner.

Thinking about it, Liu Jing couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

On the other side, Liujun was talking happily, and suddenly, he found that Liujing on the other side was not only distracted when he spoke, but also sighed.

Seeing this, the sixth monarch called strangely: "Third brother... Third brother..."

"Hmm!" When Liu Jing heard Liu Jun calling for him, he immediately calmed down, and then arched his hand and said, "What does my brother command?" ”

"Nothing." Liujun said curiously: "Brother Wei just wants to know, why did the third brother suddenly sigh." ”

When Liu Jing heard this, he remembered the current situation of the king, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Brother, I am sighing for the king." The king has been on the throne for decades, and he has been fighting against Wei and Qin, and he has also destroyed the aftermath of our Chu State in one fell swoop.

The king's exploits, even compared with King Zhuang, are not weak at all, and even slightly exceeded. However, the king insisted on appointing Qu Yuan to change the law, and now the change has just begun, and there are many betrayals and relatives, how sad it is.

The king's situation makes me have to sigh for the king. ”

"Hahaha..." Liujun remembered the news he had just gotten from Qu Wei, and knew that the king did not take their resistance seriously, so he sneered: "Where can the king need you to sigh for him, maybe the king still thinks that everything is under his control!" Maybe the king is laughing at me right now! Maybe the king is still sighing for us nobles! ”

“···” Liujing opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, he knew why his brother was angry.

The king ignored his protests, which hurt him.

"That's it!" After a pause, the six monarchs ended their discussion of the Great King, and then spoke: "Now that the reform has reached this point, even the ministers who are close to the Great King and support the reform have begun to be dissatisfied with the change.

Therefore, Brother Wei believes that the king's change is difficult to maintain, as long as we unite and jointly exert pressure on the king, and then continue to make suggestions to the king, including the important ministers of the court. In this way, it will not be long before the king will suspend the change of law after seeing the opposition in the country.

This is the same as the previous king expelling Qu Yuan. ”

After that, Liujun looked at Liujing and said, "Third brother, now I plan to lobby the nobles from all over the world to put pressure on the king again, how about it." ”

"Good!" Liu Jing nodded and said, "The younger brother is willing to lobby for the elder brother." ”

"Good!" Seeing that his younger brother, who had always opposed putting pressure on the king, agreed, the six monarchs couldn't help but rejoice.

On the other side, Yingdu.

"The king, the news from Jianghuai is that after the six monarchs and others recruited the people, the king did not punish him. So, under the persuasion of Liujun and others, four more feudal monarchs began to recruit the people under the banner of building water conservancy.

And not long ago, after the secret meeting between Doctor Sanlu and Liujun, Liujun had to inch in and began to let Liujun Sima blatantly train the army in the fiefdom. ”

Xiong Huai smiled coldly when he heard this, but there was no response.

Seeing this, Chen Zhen continued: "As of now, there have been a total of seventeen feudal monarchs on the Jianghuai side who have recruited the people, and six of them have begun public training.

And the rest of the feudal monarchs, although they have been invited by the six monarchs many times, there has been no movement. In Yichen's opinion, these feudal monarchs have made up their minds, and they should not follow the six monarchs to make trouble together. ”

Xiong Huai took the roster handed over by Chen Zhen, read the names of the seventeen people, and then smiled slightly, and put the roster on Wang's case, ignoring it again.

At this time, Chen Zhen arched his hand and asked: "The king, the feudal monarchs who are now putting pressure on Yingdu have almost surfaced, and I don't know what the king plans to do." ”

"Processing?" Xiong Huai smiled and said: "But there are only seventeen people, and there are only three of them who are big feudal monarchs, this is just a small problem, and it is not worth mentioning at all." ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai turned his gaze to the east again, and said with a smile: "Wait, these people, they don't need to make a move, they will collapse themselves."

As for now, Xianqing just needs to keep an eye on them carefully and don't let them mess around. ”

Chen Zhen replied expressionlessly when he heard this: "Only." ”

Then, Xiong Huai commanded again: "Hasn't Dr. Sanlu already returned to the capital!" Ask Dr. Qu to come and see the widow. ”

"Yui."

Soon, Qu Shu hurried to the palace, and soon left the Chu Palace in a hurry.

But that night, there was a gossip in Yingdu:

The king of Chu was furious when he heard this, summoned the three Lu doctors, and wanted to punish the six kings and others, but in the end, this matter was blocked by the three Lu doctors.

A few days later, word spread to six places.

After Liujun got the news, he was relieved and at the same time, he was aggrieved.

"Doctor Sanlu is really a believer, and this time he successfully dissuaded the king. It's just that now we are seventeen feudal lords united to put pressure on the king, not seventeen cats and dogs, why did the king get the news of us, but there was no measure, not to mention the punishment, not even appeasement.

We didn't even mention the affairs of the DPRK and China, so the ministers who contacted us couldn't do it if they wanted to unite like the king.

Is it because the king is confident, or has the king seen our plan, or is our seventeen feudal lords so worthless in the eyes of the king? ”

Thinking of this, Liujun felt a chill in his heart: "Isn't it enough for our seventeen feudal monarchs, or rather, we haven't made a big enough fuss." ”
