When Mi Xuan heard Long Shujun's inquiry, he calmed down and responded: "Judging from tonight's banquet, the prince and Tian Wen have a very good relationship. ”

"How good is the relationship?" When Long Shujun heard this, he immediately frowned.

Not long ago, he received an order from the King of Qi that the King of Qi wanted to get rid of Tian Wen, or let the State of Chu expel Tian Wen.

It's just that because the king of Chu treats Tian Wen very well, and often lives in the harem, people who are idle can't see the king of Chu.

Therefore, the matter of planning Tian Wen can only be put on hold.

And now, as soon as he heard that the prince and Tian Wen were also on good terms, his heart sank again.

The king of Chu and the crown prince met Tian Wen again at the same time, which would make it extremely difficult for him to get rid of or expel Tian Wen.

Thinking about it, Long Shujun pondered for a long time, and carefully considered the relationship between the prince and Tian Wen for a long time.

Suddenly, Long Shujun's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Very good, very good!" ”

Saying that, Long Shujun looked at Mi Xuan and said, "Virtuous nephew, in the past few months, it seems that the prince has never trusted you!" ”

When Mi Xuan heard this, he immediately arched his hand with an ugly face: "Xuan Xuan is ashamed, he has failed the trust of his father and uncle." ”

Long Shujun said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew doesn't have to be like this, this matter has nothing to do with you, although the prince is not as good as the king, he is not stupid." In my opinion, the prince almost never takes the initiative to participate in the controversy of changing the law, and even if he is a member of the state council, he is often impartial and neutral.

And your father not only clearly spoke out against the change of the law, but also took the lead in writing to the king to mediate in the Jianghuai Rebellion.

Not only the king was very dissatisfied with this, but even the crown prince was also very dissatisfied.

Therefore, it is normal for the prince to be extremely wary of you. ”

Qi Xuan was stunned, looked at Long Shujun and said in disbelief: "Uncle, if this is the case, then why do you and my father still let me take refuge in the prince." ”

Long Shujun said with a smile: "Don't worry, nephew, although it is difficult to influence the prince now, it will be useful next." ”

Saying that, Long Shujun instructed: "Virtuous nephew, tomorrow, you can visit Tian Wen under the banner of the prince..."

Following.

Tian Wen Fu.

After Tian Wen received and sent away Mi Xuan, he summoned the doorman Gongsun Hongdao: "Sir, I ordered to go down, so that when people from all countries make a name for the King of Chu, they will also make a name for the Prince of Chu and praise the wisdom of the Prince of Chu." ”

······

A few days later.

As soon as Xiong Huai heard Chen Zhen's report, he learned that in recent days, many voices praising Prince Heng had suddenly appeared in the city, and even the Song Kingdom on the north bank of Huaishui had such voices.

Then, Xiong Huai immediately set the target on Tian Wen.

"These voices praising the prince are made by Guangxinjun!"

Chen Zhen nodded, and then he was worried that the prince would lose himself in the praise, so he hesitated: "Great King, after Guangxin Jun came to Chu, he made friends with ranger lobbyists and strategists everywhere, and wantonly spread rumors, should we stop him in this regard." ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need, didn't Tian Wen take out half of the ten thousand gold given to him by the widow to make a name for the widow?"

It's not a big deal to catch the crown prince now. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai asked, "What has the prince been doing lately?" ”

"Back to the king, in the past few months, in addition to dealing with official business every day, he is studying behind closed doors at home, and in his spare time, he will also visit Taixue and listen to the lectures of the princes."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he smiled and said, "Good, good!" The prince has made great progress recently! ”

Chen Zhen smiled and did not answer.

At this time, Xiong Huai instructed: "Chen Qing, Guangxinjun is still of great use to my Chu State, so he will go to the general affairs and don't pay attention to it." ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Yes, king." ”

After Chen Zhen left, Xiong Huai remembered the wind in the city and frowned slightly.

Tian Wen actually hooked up with the prince!

Then, Xiong Huai groaned slightly, and the corners of his eyebrows quickly stretched again.

"Tian Wen is a person, although he can be courteous and virtuous, but he is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and he despises and even contempts the people. He can't even encompass the people of Xue Di under his rule, as well as the people of Qi State, let alone the people of my Chu State.

Tian Wen has a small amount of energy, and he has a great reputation, but it is difficult to achieve great things······"

With the passage of time, under the promotion of Tian Wen and some well-intentioned people, the king of Chu and the prince of Chu became more and more famous in various countries, while the king of Qi and the king of Song were frequently black, and slowly gained a reputation of Qi and Song.

Even if the King of Qi and the King of Song tried their best to crack down on the people who spread rumors, it was to no avail. The criticism of the king of Qi within the state of Qi, as well as the criticism of the king of Song within the Song state, is still increasing day by day.

Even, every time the King of Qi made a move against the Tian clan and other nobles in the country, and every time the King of Song attacked the Prince of Song, there would be a short-term outbreak of criticism of the king in the two countries.

Then, as a last resort, Qi Wangdi decided to use external strife to alleviate internal worries, and use his own merits and majesty to suppress internal instability.

As a result, the envoys of the State of Qi began to frequently go to Zhao, Wei, Yanchu, and the six countries such as Zhouzhou.

And the King of Song...

On this day, Xiong Huai rejected the request of the king of Qi to meet with the Song dynasty, but agreed that the king of Qi would teach the king of Song a lesson, and the state of Chu would not send troops to intervene.

After sending off the Qi envoy, Xiong Huai was about to return to the harem, and halfway through, a waiter walked briskly:

"The king, Ye Jun is in an emergency, Ye Jun Shou Zhao slips and dies."

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Pass the edict, posthumously seal Yejun Shou Zhaohua as the king of the East China Sea (due to the assassination of Wu Cheng, Zhaohua was deprived of all the fiefs and cut down to the people), give 3,000 households of food, and bury him with the rites of the king." His title of monarch in the East China Sea was inherited by his eldest son. ”

"Yui."

"Pass the order, let the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government come to discuss the matter."

"Yui."

Soon after, in the main hall.

Xiong Huai informed the ministers of Zhaohua's illness and death, and the ministers who did not know about it were all stunned.

Then, Zhao Ju, who reacted, was the first to speak: "King, now that Donghai Jun is sick and dead, and Ye Junshou is vacant, you should immediately select a virtuous person to serve as Ye Junshou." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Yes, the widow invited Zhuqing to come here precisely for the post of Ye Junshou." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Ju, and then turned his gaze to Prince Heng and asked, "Prince, you have been in charge of the country for a long time, I don't know if there is a suitable person to serve as Ye Junshou?" ”

The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his father on the throne hesitantly.

Although he is the crown prince of the prison state, in the selection of the county guard, his father should have asked Ling Yin Zhaoju first, not him.

It's just that, looking at his father's unquestioning expression, he had to take this inquiry as his father's test of himself.

Thinking of this, the prince groaned.

Yejun is one of the three counties of Hanshui and one of the bases of the Fa-changing faction.

Therefore, the position of Ye Junjun cannot be interfered with by others, especially the opposition.

However, as the crown prince, he can't completely recommend a person who changes the law, which will make other ministers suspicious.

Therefore, the person he recommended must not only have talent and be able to carry a county, but also be inclined to change the law, and not be extremely hostile to the opposition, it is best that he was originally a member of the nobles of Chu State.

Moreover, the best thing is that this person should also be close to him, the prince, and be able to be his help as the prince.

Therefore, the person he chose should be beneficial to both the Chu State and him.

Thinking about it, the prince quickly compared the right person in his mind, and then replied: "Father, the son thinks that Xiangyang County guards Ye Xun and can guard Ye County." In addition, the son of the former commander Yin Jingli, the current Mai Junjing Fengxian, can be the county guard of Xiangyang. ”
