Soon after, the crown prince left the palace with full of emotion and self-blame, and just as he was about to get in the car and return to his prince's mansion in Shou County, Zhaoju quietly appeared in the distance.

"The old minister has seen the prince."

When the prince heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was Ling Yin Zhaoju, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

The court meeting has long been over, and he has just been in the palace but has been talking to his father for a long time, it stands to reason that Zhao Ju has already gone back at this moment, and he doesn't want to, he has seen Zhao Ju outside the palace now.

Zhao Ju was waiting for him.

Thinking about it, Prince Heng immediately arched his hand and said, "What advice does Ling Yin have?" ”

"Don't dare." Zhaoju glanced at the prince Heng, and saw that the prince had a sad face, thinking that the prince had succumbed under the persecution of the king of Chu, and promised to agree to move the capital to Shou County.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju sighed secretly in his heart, and then shook his head and said, "Just after going to the court, the minister's doorman had something to do, so he drove the minister's carriage back in advance." At this moment, the old minister returned to his residence without a car, because he wanted to borrow a ride from the prince. ”

Prince Heng immediately understood, and Zhao Ju wanted to tell himself in private.

Thinking about it, Prince Heng immediately smiled and said: "It is Heng's honor to be able to ride with the sage, so Yin invites." ”

"Prince, please."

In the car.

Zhao Ju looked at the prince and was silent for a while, and suddenly his face showed a sad color, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Ah~~"

Prince Heng frowned and said hesitantly: "Why did Ling Yin sigh, did Heng do something wrong?" Or is there something that makes Yin difficult? ”

"Definitely!" Zhao Ju shook his head and said: "The reason why the old minister laments is not for the crown prince, nor for the old minister himself, the old minister laments for the future of the Chu State!" ”

"Lamenting for the future of the Chu State?" The crown prince was stunned and said in surprise: "Why is Ling Yin like this, now that the internal turmoil in Chu has calmed down, the external troubles have not risen, the country is thriving, and it is in an unprecedented good situation."

And Ling Yin, you don't think you're happy, but worried, why is this? ”

"For the king to move the capital to Shou County!" As soon as Zhao Ju opened his mouth, he saw that Prince Heng's eyes suddenly showed unhappiness, and seeing this, he knew in his heart that Prince Heng had been persuaded by the King of Chu.

So, he didn't give the prince a chance to speak, and immediately continued: "Prince, I don't know if you think that the strength of my two major regions, Jianghan and Jianghuai, is stronger. ”

The prince was sideways for a while, thought for a while, and responded: "It should be that the Jianghan region is stronger." ”

"Yes, the old minister thinks so too." Zhao Ju nodded, and continued: "Jianghan's strength is already strong, before Chen Cai fell and fell to scorched earth, not long ago there was turmoil in Jianghuai, and the rebels ravaged Jianghuai. After these two sounds, the old minister thought that Jianghuai's strength was far inferior to Jianghan, but I don't know if the prince thought so! ”

"That's what Ling Yin said." Prince Heng confirmed.

Zhao Ju asked again: "The old minister still has a question, I don't know what the prince thinks, compared with the prince, who is virtuous?" ”

When the crown prince heard that Zhao Ju compared himself with his father, his heart suddenly burst, and he thought that Zhao Ju was humiliating him, so he immediately turned his head to look at Zhao Ju.

It's just that when he saw Zhao Ju's solemn and worried old face, the dissatisfaction in his heart suddenly dissipated.

It seems that Zhao Ju is not entertaining him, but really asking him.

Thinking about it, the prince was silent for a while, and responded: "Father Wang is virtuous, Gong Gai Zhuang King, I might as well be far away." ”

"Yes, the old minister thinks so too." Zhao Ju ignored the prince's ugly face and asked again: "I don't know what the prince thinks is higher than the king, virtue and prestige?" ”

"I'm not as far away as my father."

"Good, the old minister thinks so too." Zhao Ju saw that the prince was deeply hit by himself, so he sighed: "Prince, the old minister already knew that the prince was inferior to the king in all aspects, but the reason why the old minister asked this was because the old minister wanted to remind the prince.

Even if he is as virtuous as a king, as virtuous as a king, and as powerful as a king, there are still more than 100 nobles in Jianghuai who rebelled.

In the future, the king is unfortunate, the prince you ascend the throne, and you are not as good as the king in terms of wisdom, virtue, and prestige.

Jianghan is better than Jianghuai, the strength of Jianghan nobles is also far better than Jianghuai, and Jianghan's land is also far better than Jianghuai. ”

"Hiss~~" The prince suddenly gasped when he heard this.

He had just been infected by his father's domineering ambitions, and thought that after moving the capital to Shou County, the world would fall into the hands of himself or his children and grandchildren, but he didn't think about whether he could suppress the problem of his ministers.

Now that his father proposed to move the capital to Shou County, the most powerful Zhaojingqu clan in Chu State, all spoke up against it, and other ministers of the court also opposed it, and the generals and colonels in the army did not want to move the capital, and the Jianghuai nobles also did not want to.

Now, with the divine power of his father, no one dares to say anything even if he forcibly moves the capital to Shou County.

However, when his father is unlucky, with his modest prestige, can he suppress those dissatisfied ministers and nobles?

The prince asked himself, and then immediately gave an answer.

No!

Thinking of the situation that Jiang and Han were both opposed, Prince Heng's face turned pale in an instant.

At this time, Zhao Ju saw that the prince's face changed, and immediately continued: "Back then, the Six Kingdoms attacked Chu for the first time, and during the period when my Chu State and the Six Kingdoms were in standoff, our Chu State had not yet shown its decline, and the three feudal monarchs of Zhaoling Jun dared to rebel and rebel, worship the prince's disciple Lan as the king, and then lead the coalition army into Chu.

In that battle, our Chu army was defeated in Xishui, Hanzhong and Shangyong all fell, and Hanbei was reduced to scorched earth. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju looked at the prince and said, "The prince has also experienced this matter, and even the prince's disciple Lan died because of it. ”

The prince listened horizontally, and suddenly showed sadness: "Yes, not only Zilan died because of this, but even the queen mother died of depression because of this." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Ju replied lightly, and then asked: "Prince, now that Gongzi Ziqing is outside, even when Jianghuai rebelled against Yaozun Ziqing as the king not long ago, Zhao Guo also took the opportunity to put Ziqing under house arrest, trying to take the opportunity to blackmail my Chu State.

What the minister wants to ask is that once Jiang Han rebels, the Jiang Han nobles invite Gongzi Ziqing to return to China, and take the opportunity to lead the Three Jin Dynasty and even Qi Qin to intervene in the civil strife in Chu.

I wonder what strategy the prince has to deal with this internal and external crisis?

The old minister is worried that it is not the prince you or Gongzi Ziqing who can't eliminate each other, but the prince you and Gongzi Ziqing are holding each other, and then the great Chu State is like three Jin and two weeks, the country is divided, and it is no longer strong! ”

Prince Heng's face was bloodless in an instant, and in the chaos, Prince Heng suddenly glanced at Zhao Ju in front of him, and immediately bowed down: "Please Ling Yin teach me." ”

"Huh." Zhao Ju shook his head with a smile and said, "Lao Chen heard that even if it is a god, it can only know what will happen in the next year. The old minister is about to die, how can he come up with a way at this time! ”

"This..." The prince sat on the seat of the car, flustered and at a loss.

At this time, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "Prince, the old minister's words are all here, and I hope that the prince will do it himself, not conceited." ”
