Chapter 1213: The Ministers Ask for Their Lives

The next day, the court discussed, and the ministers arrived at the main hall early. Although many people slept late last night, the ministers who knew that there was still a heated debate in today's court meeting were all in good spirits and did not feel tired at all.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai was the first to speak: "Zhuqing, before Zuo Yin Fufa, because the war was approaching, the widow did not immediately appoint Zuo Yin. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai looked at the solemn faces of the ministers and said with a smile: "Now, the war has stopped, and the country has been decided. And the world-famous sage Ganzi returned to Chu, so that the widow no longer hesitated. ”

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Gan Mao in the middle of the crowd and said with a smile: "Gan Qing." ”

Gan Mao immediately came out and bowed: "The minister is here!" ”

"The widow knows that Gan Qing is good at sorting out the ministers, making friends with various countries, proficient in military affairs, and is familiar with the internal affairs of Qin, Wei and Qi.

"The minister Gan Mao thanked the king for his kindness."

"Virtuous and courteous." Xiong Huai raised his hand, then pointed to the vacant seat reserved on Zhao Ju's side and said, "Please sit beside Ling Yin." ”

"King Xie!"

As Gan Mao walked towards Zhao Ju's side, many ministers in the palace were awe-inspiring.

With such an important position as Zuo Yin, the king of Chu did not discuss it with anyone, nor did he discuss it in the court, so he appointed Gan Mao so straightforwardly.

If this had been before, it would have been unimaginable for the ministers.

However, at this moment, in the face of the mighty King of Chu, no one dared to stand up against it.

The king of Chu appointed Gan Mao as Zuo Yin, which dealt a heavy blow to the ministers.

And in the crowd, Jing Lack and Submission, who had already learned the inside story, were nervous.

Sure enough, the king's will could no longer be stopped.

If they forcibly stop them, I am afraid that what awaits them is to be expelled from the court.

After a few breaths, Xiong Huai waited for Gan Mao to finish at the table, and immediately spoke: "The second thing in today's court discussion is the matter of moving the capital. ”

After that, Xiong Huai looked at the prince Heng who was in the forefront of the ministers, and then looked at Gan Mao, and finally decided not to use Gan Mao, who had just returned to China, as cannon fodder.

So, he looked at Gan Mao and asked, "Zuo Yin, what do you think?" ”

When Gan Mao heard this, he immediately responded: "King, about the benefits of moving the capital, the monarchs have already said a lot yesterday, and the ministers are willing to add four more things.

First, the Qin State occupied the land of Southern Zheng Shu and had already formed a strong victory over Yingdu, so moving the capital to Shou County was conducive to avoiding the Qin State's troops.

Second, Yingdu is far away on the bank of the river, and its location is too southern, although it is beneficial to our Chu defense countries, but now that our Chu country is strong, there is no need to worry about the attack of various countries. And Yingdu, which is far away in the north of the Yangtze River, once faced with sending troops to attack various countries, it is too slow and remote, which is not conducive to seizing fleeting fighters.

Third, from the Yingdu to the north to compete, although there is the benefit of the Han water, but the Han water from the west to the southeast into the Yunmeng Daze, relying on the Han water to attack the Qin and Han countries Although there is no problem, but it is extremely unfavorable to attack the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Qi.

The Huaishui is different, taking the Huaishui against Rushui will go straight to Yangzhai, an important town in South Korea, going to the Huaishui against Yingshui will go straight to Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and the capital of Wei, and you will go straight to the three kingdoms of Qi, Lu and Song.

My Chu State Naval Division is invincible in the world, and the only one who can compete a little is the Qi National Naval Division, while the four kingdoms of Wei, Han, Song and Lu have no naval divisions.

Therefore, moving the capital to Shou County, as long as it is advantageous, then our Chu army can send troops to attack various countries, and once it is unfavorable, then we can also rely on Huaishui to protect ourselves.

Fourth, the wealth of Shaopo in our Chu country is known to the whole world, and if the capital is moved to Shou County, our Chu army will go on an expedition, which will greatly reduce food loss. ”

After saying that, Gan Mao bowed his hand and said: "King, with these four points, the minister thinks it is convenient to move the capital." ”

"Good." Xiong Huai smiled, then looked at Prince Heng, and asked expectantly, "Prince, what do you think?" ”

At this time, the crown prince looked at the smile on his father's face, looked at the expectation on his father's face, remembered what Yin Zhaoju said in the car yesterday, and remembered the agitation of the ministers and nobles yesterday, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

I'm sorry!

Father, the sons and daughters have failed your expectations, the sons have failed your efforts, and the sons have failed your hard work!

It's the sons who are useless, it's the sons who are incompetent, it's the sons who don't have great ambitions!

Thinking about it, the prince replied with a sad face: "Father, my son thinks it's inconvenient to move. ”

"Father, son..." Prince Heng first refuted Zuo Yin Ganmao, and was about to make a long speech, but was interrupted by Xiong Huai.

"Okay, Prince, you already know what you mean."

"Uh..."

At this time, Xiong Huai ignored this prince who completely disappointed him, but turned his head to look at Zhao Ju and asked, "Ling Yin, what do you think?" ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he looked at the stunned Prince Heng, and then at the expressionless King of Chu, sighed slightly in his heart, and then responded: "King, the minister thinks that what Zuo Yin said is extremely true, and it is convenient to move the capital." ”

"What? Ling Yin, you..." When the prince heard this, he immediately made a voice in surprise, and then looked at Zhao Ju in amazement.

"I must be dreaming... I must be dreaming... I must be dreaming, how could Ling Yin say such a thing? I must have been so tired last night that I'm still dreaming! ”

On the other side, Xiong Huai ignored Prince Heng's surprise, nor did he pay attention to the sluggishness on Prince Heng's face, and turned his head to look at Jing Que and asked, "Sima, what do you think?" ”

When Jing Que heard this, he didn't dare to look at the prince Heng at all, but just replied in a deep voice: "King, the minister thinks that what Ling Yin Zuoyin said is right, and it is convenient to move the capital." ”

"Boom..." As soon as the prince heard Jing Que's words, he suddenly felt a loud noise in his head, and it was full of what he had ordered Yin Sima to say to him yesterday.

The aftermath of yesterday's words is still in my ears, and Yin Sima has all changed...

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Zhao Lang again and asked expressionlessly, "General, what do you think?" ”

When Zhao Lang heard that the King of Chu asked him, he immediately responded with great joy: "What Zuo Yin said is too good, and the minister fully agrees." ”

Saying that, Zhao Lang immediately went out of the ranks, walked to the middle of the main hall, and bowed: "It is very convenient to move the capital to Shou County, please ask the king not to use doubts, and immediately make a decision to move the capital to Shou County." ”

Zhao Lang bowed, and more than a dozen feudal monarchs such as Zhongli Jun Lu Jun, who had communicated with him last night, followed up one after another, and all came to the middle of the hall and bowed together: "King, move the capital to Shou County, please ask the king to immediately issue an edict, announce the whole country, and move the capital to Shou County." ”

As soon as the Jianghuai feudal monarch moved, the other Jianghuai nobles who were qualified to discuss matters in the palace immediately followed up.

At this time, Tang Yu and the two of them did not wait for the Jianghuai nobles to speak, and they also hurried out of the queue and bowed: "The minister asks the king to move the capital to Shou County." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Ju glanced at Gan Mao on his side, and followed suit.

Then, Xiong Huai saw that all the ministers had asked for orders to move the capital, so he smiled and said: "Good, please allow the princes to move the capital to Shou County." ”

"Ling Yin."

"The minister is here."

"The matter of moving the capital to Shou County will be presided over by you, and the important ministers in the court will be moved first, followed by the people in the palace, and the rest will be the last."

"It's the king."

"Retreat."

After the king of Chu left, Zhao Ju glanced at the lonely prince on the side, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he just sighed and left with a guilty face.

As soon as Zhao Ju left, the other ministers did not dare to face the prince Heng, and they all dispersed in a hurry, and quickly left the hall.

After a long time, when the prince reacted, he saw that there was no one else in the hall, only he sat alone and quietly on the seat.

Seeing this, he raised his eyes to look above the main hall, and his gaze seemed to reach the sky through the top of the main hall.

"Traitor, traitor, traitor! They all betrayed me! ”
