At this time, Xiong Huai let out a long breath.

As the king of Chu, he was very disappointed that the prince wanted to kill Zheng Sleeve and calculated Ziqing.

What disappointed him was not that the prince should not have targeted those who threatened his position, but that he had found the wrong person at the wrong time.

Didn't he know that Ziqing was being a hostage in Zhao State for the sake of Chu State at the moment?

The state of Chu is in the south, the state of Zhao is in the north, the distance is too far, how can it effectively hit Ziqing.

Once Ziqing heard that his mother had been killed in Zhao State, then he would definitely resent Chu State from now on.

This is undoubtedly creating enemies for yourself!

What disappointed Xiong Huai even more was that the prince couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe.

The prince's sibling brother Zilan is dead, Zi Yu is young, and among the brothers, Ziqing is the elder, and Wangcai is about to perform the crown salute, so in the next ten years, only Ziqing will be able to provide him with arm assistance.

The key thing is that because of Ziqing's mother Zheng Sleeve, and more importantly, the promulgation of the "Decree on the Punishment of Scrapping Meat" that year, Ziqing has no possibility of ascending the throne, unless the prince and others are all dead, he has no chance.

Even Xiong Huai himself decided to abolish the crown prince, in the selection of the next prince, he first excluded Ziqing, but made Ziqing an important minister of the auxiliary government, and made him the new king's Ling Yin Zixi to stabilize the government.

What's more, after waiting for another two years, Gongziping will soon have a crown ceremony.

In this way, Ziqing is not a threat to him at all.

The most important thing is that Xiong Huai's plan for the Qi State has been nearly half completed, once the Qi State is destroyed. Then, Ziqing, who has stayed in Zhao for many years, has a close relationship with King Han, and is familiar with Zhao Han's internal affairs, will be the key figure for Chu to stabilize Korea and communicate with Zhao in the future.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Ziqing is not only the prince's assistant, but also may be able to assist Gongziping as an uncle in the future.

That's it, the prince not only didn't think about winning over Ziqing, but also wanted to push Ziqing out and completely squeeze out of the Chu State.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's heart was cold.

At this moment, even the pity and unbearability for Prince Heng in his heart because of Nanhou completely disappeared.

After a pause, Xiong Huai turned his head to look at Zhao Ju, hoping that Zhao Ju would come forward to suppress the matter.

After all, just a group of doctors are talking about things, and there is no need for he, the king of Chu, to end up in person.

It's just that as soon as Zhao Ju saw the King of Chu looking over, he immediately sat on the spot and looked at his nose and nose, directly ignoring the gaze of the King of Chu.

As soon as he saw these people pointing the finger at Zheng Sleeve at the same time, he knew that what he said to Prince Heng before was the root of the current matter.

As the culprit, at this moment, what face does he have to speak.

On the side of the King of Chu? I don't have the face to face the prince!

On the Prince's side? Agree to kill the mother of Gongzi Ziqing?

It doesn't work either.

So, Zhao Ju lowered his head slightly.

At this time, Xiong Huai was slightly stunned when he saw Zhao Ju directly pretending to be an ostrich, and then, he glanced at Zhao Ju with great meaning, and then looked at General Zhao Lang.

On the other side, Zhao Lang couldn't sit still when the Jianghuai ministers suddenly attacked Zheng Sleeve.

Zheng Sleeve's life and death have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care.

However, what he was concerned about was that the Jianghuai ministers would take out the things that had already been turned over and whip the corpses, which was obviously not in the interests of the Jianghuai nobles.

Although, because of the rebellion of the Jianghuai nobles before, the king of Chu had already eliminated the culprit, and the other accomplices only killed the first evil involved in it, and demoted them according to the size of the crime.

Then the Jianghuai rebellion was overturned, and the remaining Jianghuai nobles gathered around him, the great general.

Now, those nobles in Jiang Han suddenly said that Zheng Sleeve said something, if they succeeded, then would they continue to say that the punishment of the king last time was not enough? In other words, some people have not been punished for making friends and rebels, some people have not been punished for losing their land and fleeing, some people have not been punished for personal friendship with other countries, and so on.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lang suddenly felt that these Jianghan nobles were full of malice towards him.

This thing is coming to the nobles of Jianghuai, and it is coming to him.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lang suddenly saw the King of Chu looking at him, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he immediately arched his hand and said: "My lord, the ministers think that the words of the doctors are inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Xiong Huai immediately smiled and said, "Please come to the general." ”

"King!" Zhao Lang responded: "Everyone knows that after the rebel party rebelled, he led the crowd to attack Huaiyin City, the fief of Huaiyin Jun, and Huaiyin Jun made Yin unwilling to surrender and rebel, and died in battle. Then, the rebels ransacked the mansion of Huaiyin Jun, which robbed Zheng Sleeve.

Therefore, the reason why Zheng Sleeve wore the queen's robe was not voluntary, but forced. ”

Saying that, Zhao Lang arched his hand and said: "Besides, the king has issued an edict before, and the families of the people are considered to be rebellious and hijacked, not to participate in the rebellion and rebellion." Therefore, the minister thought that the doctor's statement was completely unreasonable. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Well, yes, the general is reasonable." ”

"The King." Doctor Shen Hu hurriedly said: "Zheng Sleeve is the mother of Huaiyin Jun, when Huaiyin Jun was not in Huaiyin, she did not live and die with Huaiyin City, this is a capital crime, a capital crime of losing the land." ”

"Not really." Zhao Lang immediately retorted: "The king has issued an edict before, and the rebellion is strong, and the nobles and county officials from all over the country are not guilty of losing their land. ”

"And." Zhao Lang said loudly: "Zheng Sleeve is just a mere person, she has no responsibility to defend the land. ”

"The King." At this time, the doctor Zeng Bu said: "Zheng Sleeve is the mother of Huaiyin Jun, not only rebellious, but also put on the queen's clothes, such a move, it is really insulting Huaiyin Jun's virtuous name, therefore, the minister thought that Zheng Sleeve should be executed, thought that Huaiyin Jun was right, sacrificed Zheng Sleeve, and took the whole Huaiyin Jun." ”

Zhao Lang refuted: "Zheng Sleeve is a low-status concubine, how can he insult Huaiyin Jun." ”

"The king, Zheng Sleeve used to be a lady, and she had a big mistake, when she was killed, the king looked at Huaiyin Jun's face, and then demoted her to a concubine, hoping that she could reform herself. Then, she did not appreciate the king's painstaking efforts, not only did she not repay the king with death, but instead took refuge in the traitorous party, such an act should be killed! ”

Zhao Lang retorted: "She's a concubine..."

"The King..."

“···”

As the Jianghan nobles continued to join the ranks of attacking Zheng Sleeve, the Jianghuai nobles, under the leadership of Zhaolang, continued to fight against the Jianghan nobles.

Soon, the courtiers evolved from a dispute over Zheng Sleeve to a dispute between the Jianghuai and Han nobles.

When the ministers were arguing, Xiong Huai'an sat on the throne and saw that except for Zhaolang, the other important ministers in the court were always watching from the wall and did not end up participating in it.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai's heart fell to the ground, and then he coughed lightly twice, interrupting the dispute among the ministers, attracting the attention of all the ministers, before he looked at the prince and said, "Prince, I don't know how you think this matter should be handled?" ”

When the prince heard this, he was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his father to ask him about this, you know, in the previous court discussions, his father and the ministers rarely asked him.

At this time, the prince saw that everyone in the palace looked at him, and he was also very embarrassed in his heart.

Agree to kill Zheng Sleeve, this will make the world say that he murdered his brother's mother and can't tolerate his brother.

If you don't agree, those Jianghan nobles who were instigated by him will hate him to death.

After thinking about it, Prince Heng immediately decided to adopt the previous method.

So, the prince arched his hand horizontally and said: "Back to my father, what the ministers say is reasonable, and the sons and daughters listen to their father." ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he was immediately furious, and directly reprimanded him in front of the ministers: "Prince, the widow entrusts you with all the state affairs and lets you govern the country, you are such a director, and you are in charge of the country like this."

Just such a trivial matter, you panic, have no opinion, don't know what to do, and have the face to ask the widow. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai shook his head and sighed in the shocked eyes of everyone: "Prince, you have disappointed the widow too much. ”

Speaker, Xiong Huai stood up with a calm face, and then said loudly: "Retreat." ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai brushed his sleeves and left.
