Xiong Huai saw Yin Lingjun crying and confessing his guilt, nodded, and then muttered: "If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and this widow's treasure is also." There are three offenders committed by Junxin in Yinling, and they should be punished severely. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at the Yin Ling Jun who had accepted his fate in the hall, and then at the Zhaochang Liujun and the others who were sitting in place unmoved and had indifferent faces, and then said:

"Yin Xin, although you are brutal and do not abide by the law, but the widow is the king of the Chu State, and he should be dealt with according to the law.

Thou hast disobeyed the edict of the widow, bribed the envoys, abused the people under thy rule, and used a punishment that exceeds the law, and now the widow has deprived you of the title of the king of the Yin Tomb, and demoted the title to the rank of the deacon, and at the same time deprived you of the right to govern the Yin Tomb Daze, from now on, you can no longer drive the people to the Yin Tomb Daze to fish for you, but the people of the Yin Tomb are not restricted.

Moreover, there are more than 2,000 households under your rule, and the widow has decided to take back 400 households. Among them, the village where the family that was cooked and killed will no longer belong to you.

Also, later, you will immediately pass the book back to the Yin Tomb, let the Yin Tomb be released to the people, and let the people of the Yin Tomb be able to cultivate.

Finally, the widow wants you to take this as a warning and be kind to the people. ”

When Yin Lingjun heard the punishment of the King of Chu, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Originally, when he saw that the King of Chu was angry, he also said such heavy words, and the ministers in the palace, whether it was Ling Yin Zhaoju or Zuo Yin Zhaochang or even the six monarchs, did not intercede for him.

He thought that this time it was already inevitable, and maybe even the whole clan would be demoted to a commoner.

As a result, the king of Chu only deprived him of his title, demoted his lordship, cut down the land, and deprived 400 households, but such a punishment was far less severe than he expected.

It seems that the king is still benevolent, and he is even more generous to the nobles, and if anyone says that the king hates the nobles and the king, then he will be anxious with whom.

Thinking about it, Yin Ling Jun, no, Yin Xin immediately bowed his head with emotion and said: "The king is merciful, and the ministers are grateful." ”

At this time, Zhao Chang heard Yin Xin's moving voice, and only then did he react.

Originally, he listened to the king's tone, thinking that the Yinling monarch who had found the evidence this time was going to be exterminated, but the king just raised it high and then put it down gently.

Looking at what he just said now, it was simply stupid.

No!

Zhao Chang shook his head, it's not that I'm too stupid, it's that the king is too treacherous.

Just now, the king must have wanted to exterminate Yin Xin in order to intimidate the six monarchs and others. However, when the king saw that I and the six monarchs had all abandoned Yin Xin, he let Yin Xin go.

Division, differentiation, and co-optation.

At this moment, many schemes popped up in Zhao Chang's mind.

However, if he could do it all over again, he would still abandon Yin Ling Jun.

It's just that when Zhao Chang saw Yin Xin's touched face, his heart suddenly sank to a low point.

Although the king let Yin Xin go, he brought Yin Xin over, and the eighteen feudal monarchs who originally worked together are now beginning to disintegrate.

After Yin Xin disbanded the people, then the remaining seventeen people...

Thinking about it, Zhao Chang's heart tightened.

On the other side, after Xiong Huai disposed of Yin Xin, he turned his gaze to Sun Hao, who was still worshipping in the hall, and then said in a calm tone: "Tingli, Doctor Sanlu." ”

When the two of them heard that the king of Chu directly called them official positions instead of intimately calling them virtuous kings, their hearts tightened, and at the same time they responded: "Great king, the minister is guilty." ”

"Huh!" Xiong Huai sneered: "So you admit to taking bribes in Yinling before, and concealed it for Yinling Jun. ”

"The minister is guilty!" The two didn't dare to get up, but just crouched on the ground and answered.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but be disappointed and said: "Tingli Sun Hao, Doctor Sanlu succumbed to the office, and the two were ordered to investigate, but they took bribes and concealed the truth, which deeply disappointed the widow.

Therefore, the widow decided to demote the two to one level, among which Sun Hao, the court manager, was the main envoy, and the crime was increased by one degree, and the widow decided to remove the court manager from the post and demote him to Shou County Yin. As the deputy envoy, Dr. Sanlu was in the same league as Sun Hao, and the widow decided to pay an additional year as a punishment. ”

"Thank you, King Kaig." When the two of them heard that they had been demoted to one level, they couldn't help but feel sad, especially when Sun Hao was demoted to Shou County and couldn't serve in Yingdu, they couldn't help but feel desperate.

Then, Xiong Huai glanced at the ministers, and saw that no one looked at him, so he spoke: "The court manager is responsible for the punishment, and the court manager is vacant today, so someone needs to fill it immediately."

Hanbei County guards the son, the world's great sages, and the widow tries Hanbei, but the Hanbei County family gives people enough, the people are like that, the four countries besiege and do not overcome, and the widow thinks that he can.

Therefore, the widow decided to continue the position of court manager with the son of Hanbei County. As for the post of Hanbei County Warden, it was replaced by Chen Xiang, the County Warden of Xiangyang.

In addition, Yin Yexun of Deng County is too Fu Gao's apprentice, who has governed Deng County for many years, Deng County Road is not forgotten, and the house is not closed at night, and the widow thinks that he can, so it is the widow who decided to let Yin Yexun of Deng County take over the post of Xiangyang County Shou. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai asked the ministers: "Zhuqing, how do you arrange the widow, can the Qing and the others have objections!" ”

“···” Seeing that the king of Chu did not consult with anyone, the ministers directly appointed the candidate, although they felt a little inappropriate, but no one dared to speak at this time.

At this time, Zhao Chang tightened his eyebrows.

Sun Hao lost the position of court manager, and the son of Hanbei County came to Yingdu to serve as court manager, which increased and decreased, and the strength of Qu Yuan's party in the court was even greater.

Now, Ling Yin Zhaoju and Sima Jingque do not speak, Qu Yuan holds most of the administrative power, Tang Mo holds the military power, Jin Juntong holds the financial power, Jiezi controls the punishment, and has already mastered the fortification slaves.

Calculated in this way, most of the power of the Chu State was basically controlled by the Fa-changing faction.

And he, Zuo Yin, plus the upper doctor Jing Shao and Si Luo Yi, and then counting Xianyin Fan Huan, those who oppose the reform of the law basically only have the right to make suggestions in the court, and cannot interfere in state affairs more.

At this moment, Zhao Chang suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of urgency, if he didn't do something about it, then the change might really be done. In this way, in the near future, maybe the Qu clan will replace the Zhao clan as the most powerful family in the Chu State.

Then, after Zhao Chang remembered the attitude of Zhao and Jing towards the change, his heart was slightly relieved.

Fortunately, we still have a chance.

On the other side, Xiong Huai saw that none of the ministers objected, smiled in his heart, and continued: "The former Tingli and Dr. Sanlu went to Jianghuai to verify the matter, because the two received bribes, and the widow thought that the verification of the two was not enough.

Therefore, the widow decided to wait for the new court manager to be in place, and then go to Jianghuai with Si Yu to verify and see the true attitude of the people towards the new law.

At this time, it is about whether the new law will continue, and it is also about the future national policy of our Chu State. ”

"Still verifying?!" When Liujun and the others heard this, their hearts suddenly tightened.

This Jiezi from the Qi Kingdom is not the previous Sun Hao, although they still don't know who reported the matter of Yinling to the King of Chu, but that Jiezi is a hardcore law-changer, and let Jiezi lead the investigation, how can he hide it for them.

For a while, Liujun and the others were terrified.

Then, Liujun and the others all looked at Zuo Yin Zhaochang, hoping that Zhaochang would come forward to oppose it.

And after Zhao Chang noticed the gaze of the six monarchs and others, he immediately straightened his waist, and then in the happy eyes of the six monarchs and others, he bowed his hand and said, "The king is wise." Since Tingli and Doctor Sanlu received bribes from Yinling Jun, it is difficult to guarantee that the two of them did not receive bribes from other feudal monarchs, and they really need to send someone to investigate again at this time. ”

Liujun and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this: "······"
