In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Xiong Huai announced the relocation of the capital to Shouying.

In this month, with the help of the sailor's boat, the ministers who stayed in Yingdu and the ladies and sons of the palace, under the escort of the sailor, went south along the river, walked the ditch against the Huaishui, and it took only eight days to arrive at Shouchun City from Yingdu.

With the arrival of everyone, Xiong Huai finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the relocation of the capital is an extremely complicated project, as long as he, the king of Chu, his wife and children arrive in Shouchun City, as long as the ministers who deal with state affairs arrive in Shouchun City, the main work of moving the capital will be completed.

As for the rest, it's all small things, you can take your time.

At this time, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "King, except for the ministers who still need to stay in Yingdu to preside over the relocation, the other ministers have all arrived in Shouchun City.

Among them, Taifu Yin still stays in Yingdu because there are too many things that Taifu needs to relocate, and I am afraid it will take several months to come to Shou County.

There is also Gong Yin, the craftsman workshop under Gong Yin, and the production base of the five-color Shiwa Huang paper that I don't show the secret of the Chu State, all of which take a lot of time. Gong Yin said that in order to move these things to Shouying, not only do they need to prepare in advance on Shouying's side, but they also need at least half a year to relocate. ”

"There are too many things in Taifu and Gongyin Mansion, this widow can understand, and the widow is not in a hurry." Xiong Huai frowned and said, "However, what about Taifu, is Taifu really unwilling to come to Shouchun City?" ”

Zhao Ju shook his head: "King, Taifu said that he is almost ninety years old, he is too old, and he doesn't want to go thousands of miles away, he only wants to live in his hometown." Yes, Taifu asked the king for permission to resign from the post of Taifu and resign from the post of Taixue Yin. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he pondered for a long time and sighed: "It is a great pity that I can't listen to Taifu's teachings in the future!" However, Taifu is old after all, and the widow doesn't want to disturb Taifu anymore.

summoned, immediately let Gongziping go to Yingdu to meet the Taifu, and arrange the daily supply and serving servants for the Taifu, not because the Taifu is not on the side of the widow and the prince.

At the same time, let Gongziping inform Taifu that Taifu was allowed to resign from the post of Taixue Yin, and asked Taifu about the next person to preside over Taixue.

However, one day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, therefore, Taifu wanted to resign from the position of Taifu, but the widow disagreed. ”

"Yes, my lord."

After Xiong Huai and Zhaoju finished talking about the court, they returned to the harem to appease the people who had just arrived at the Shouchun New Palace.

After appeasing the ladies and beauties and their three sons, Xiong Huai left Mrs. Qin, who was in charge of the harem, and asked, "Madam, why is Mrs. Wei in the future longevity, but what happened to her?" ”

"Back to the king." Mrs. Qin looked at Xiong Huai a little nervously, and responded: "Before the concubine left Yingdu, she also went to see Mrs. Wei of the whole country, not only the concubine, but also Mrs. Han and Mrs. Song went to persuade her.

However, Mrs. Wei said that she was used to staying in the palace in Yingdu and did not want to move anymore. ”

“···” Xiong Huai thought of Mrs. Wei, who hadn't taken a step out of his palace for twenty years, and couldn't help but sigh.

Back then, she was too young and impulsive, and with just an edict, she mistook others and herself, and now she wants to make up for it, it's too late.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai shook his head and said, "In that case, then let her do as she likes." Now that Mrs. is in charge of the affairs of the palace, Mrs. Wei's affairs will be handled by Mrs. Wei, and she is still treated as Mrs. ”

······

Stay for a few days.

"The King." Zuo Sima Deng Lingguang reported: "The spies came to report that the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Song decided to meet in Taoyi to discuss the matter of dealing with our Chu State.

Moreover, the four kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Song sent envoys to Chu at the same time, and the envoys would soon arrive in Shouchun. ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "Zuo Yin is right, the position of Shouchun is indeed good, but it is too good, as soon as the widow came, all the four kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Wei and Song were shocked." ”

"What the king said is very true." Deng Lingguang sighed: "The spies came to report that the two countries of Qi and Zhao were already on both sides of the river, and the spies on both sides of the river also clashed from time to time, and many people died. However, after the news of our relocation of the capital to Shouying came out, Qi and Zhao restrained a lot.

However, the movement of troops on both sides has not stagnated because of this, and is still gathering. ”

"The world is afraid of a move, it seems that the widow is still very deterrent!" Xiong Huai smiled quite smugly.

He knew that the four countries were worried that the Chu State moved its capital to Shouying in order to deal with them, but judging from the reactions of the Qi and Zhao countries, they were all about to prepare for this big war, and it was inevitable.

Therefore, in order to reassure the six countries to start a war boldly, he also had to dispel the vigilance of the six countries and let the six countries go to war as soon as possible.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai groaned: "Send the edict to Sima, just say that now that the country is calm, there is no need for Shou Ying to gather hundreds of thousands of troops again." Therefore, let Sima dismiss the army, and let the nobles and the common people return to their respective hometowns. ”

"Yui."

"Spread the edict to the Zhuguo, just say that there is nothing in the world, and let the army find a place to prepare Tuntian for military use."

"Yui."

Sima Mansion.

As soon as Jing Que received the edict, he was glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't carry it to the end with King Chu not long ago.

After the king of Chu quelled the Jianghuai rebellion, he took more than 300,000 troops to stay in Shou County, originally, he thought that the king of Chu wanted to wait until he returned to Yingdu to disband the nobles and the armies of the counties.

But now that I think about it, I am afraid that the king was slow to explain the army at that time, and probably made up his mind at that time that once the ministers objected, the king would forcibly move the capital with the army in his hand.

Thinking about it, Jing Que rejoiced while beginning to arrange the return of the 200,000 conscripted army.

After Tang Wu of the Zhuguo Kingdom received the edict, he directly led his 100,000 troops to the south, stationed in a wild place fifty miles away from Yingdu, and opened up the barren tuntian.

Meanwhile.

Xiong Huai handed over the affairs of the country to Zhaoju, Qu Yuan, and Ganmao, and the three of them have been living in their own bedrooms, playing with Mrs. Song and others every day, either watching dances, or enjoying music, or swimming in the harem garden with everyone, all of which are full of joy.

On the other side, Zhao envoy Wang Ben, Wei envoy Wei Qi, and Qi envoy Zhu Fu received the news that Chu had disbanded the army and the remaining army began to reclaim the wasteland on the way to Chu.

After learning of this, the envoys of the three kingdoms immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to go to the state of Chu with gifts, while immediately transmitting the movements of the state of Chu back to China.

A few days later, the envoy of Qi Zhu Fu was the first to arrive in Shouchun, and then he began to give gifts to the Chu ministers while asking to see the king of Chu.

However, he was not summoned by the king of Chu.

Five days later.

After the envoy of the Song State, Prince Zhen, met with the envoy of Zhao and Wei, the three of them went to Shouchun together.

As soon as the three of them arrived in Shouchun, they first sent a letter of state to the king of Chu, hoping to meet the king of Chu.

Then, Wang Ben, the envoy of Zhao, and Prince Zhen, the envoy of Song, who had a close relationship with the state of Chu, immediately began to contact the ministers of Chu who were friendly with him, intending to pull the state of Chu to the side of the alliance and let the state of Chu send troops to attack the Huaibei land of the state of Qi.

And Wei envoy Wei Qi befriended Chu Chen on the one hand, gave gifts in many ways, and contacted Princess Wei, the princess of Chu, on the other.
