After dealing with the matter of Jing Que, Xiong Huai's face suddenly became ugly, and he couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Chen Zhen, who had not yet left, not only sighed, but even his face changed, and he immediately asked, "Why is the king sighing?" Now that Hanbei is in a good place, everything is going on in an orderly manner, why is the king distressed! ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and said with a heavy face: "The widow is not worried about the affairs of Hanbei, but because of the nobles of Jianghan and Jianghuai.

The widow had just divided the land in Hanbei County, but Sima Jingque dared to secretly oppose the widow because of the thousands of acres of land.

So what about the feudal monarchs of Jianghan and Jianghuai?

You must know that the nobles of my Chu State have existed for hundreds of years, and the short ones have been two or three generations. They may not have encountered such an opportunity as the shortage of scenery, and in a short period of time, they gathered thousands of households and opened up thousands of hectares of fertile land.

However, with their long-term operation, they must have hidden many people and land.

Now even the Jing Que of the office is very dissatisfied with the widow, so what about those estranged nobles and feudal monarchs? Will they be very dissatisfied with the widows because they are robbing them of the population?

In the past, the king of sound was killed by thieves, and the mourning king passed away, and the fate of these two former kings was like a nightmare, often appearing in front of the widow, which really made the widow sleep! ”

When Chen Zhen heard this, he also became heavy: "I don't know what the king means? ”

Xiong Huai's whole body exuded a chill, and he said in a cold tone: "The widow tastes it, everything is foreseen, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, the widow does not like to deal with passively, and the widow likes to take the initiative." ”

Chen Zhen nodded when he heard this: "The king, the minister understands, but I don't know if the king belongs to Jianghan or Jianghuai." ”

"Keiko has been preparing in Shou County for a long time, and the widow plans to move the capital to Shou County soon."

"The minister knows the king's intentions, please rest assured, the minister will go and prepare, and things will be controlled within a controllable range."

"Good, Chen Qing can do it, there are few people to bear everything, and the sky can't fall."

"King Xie."

On the other side, Yingdu.

"Our plan in Hanbuk County has failed!" Jing Que learned from Ye Xiu about the actions of the King of Chu in Deng Di, and immediately frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? Didn't Ben General say that the plan should be slow rather than urgent, and it should be done slowly, and at present, it is only necessary to promote the marriage of scholars and doctors, and cater to the king's policy of encouraging strong men to marry wives and widows to remarry, and the matter of planning the title land will take a few years before it can be implemented.

Furthermore, our plan has been promoted among the lower nobles, and has not been publicized among the upper nobles, so why has it not been a few days since the king noticed this matter so quickly, and responded so quickly. ”

Ye Xiu shook his head and responded: "Sima, the minister has already found out clearly, this matter was stabbed by Yin Yexun of Deng County to the king, and it is said that the strategies of letting the newly promoted scholars build a temple and reward widows are all from Ye Xun's handwriting. ”

"Ye Xun? Deng County Yin, a disciple of Taifu, the prince is the same door, and Ye Gong is in the same vein! Jing Que said suspiciously: "As the Duke of Deng County, he is already a first-level knight, how could he notice such low-level nobles as Doctor Lie?" ”

Ye Xiu sighed: "Sima doesn't know, after we encouraged the nobles to marry wives and seize the title, in just five days, there were five doctors to marry wives, and one of them was Ye Xun's promoted henchman, so this matter was noticed by Ye Xun at once, and then Ye Xun checked, this matter was placed in front of Ye Xun, and then Ye Xun stabbed the king." ”

Jing Que was stunned for a moment, and said with some shock: "There are five doctors marrying wives in five days?" Isn't it a slow picture? Why is there such a concentration of wifery? ”

"Sima, our people told those doctors that they should take their time and not be in a hurry when marrying a wife, but there are too few widows in various places whose young sons are national doctors or even doctors, and there are not only unmarried doctors of the right age who want to marry wives, but also some older old doctors who are eager to marry their sons and even younger brothers, so things have evolved like this."

"Whew!" Jing Que scolded: "These people are too greedy, but just ten acres of land, let them rush like this, make a mess, and the good things will be destroyed by them before they have started."

Vertical, short-sighted, a group of fools, simply inadequate and scheming. ”

As he spoke, Jing Que's face suddenly changed, and then he hurriedly asked, "Are all of our people back, and have anyone been caught by Chen Zhen's old horseman?" ”

Ye Xiu shook his head again and again and said, "Please rest assured, as soon as the king arrives in Deng County, he will immediately summon the doctor to reward the woman." As soon as the minister got the news of Deng County, he immediately withdrew our people back, and the assassin should not have noticed us without this. ”

"That's good, that's good..." Jing Que breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a doorman walked in quickly and reported: "Sima, the king's envoy has arrived, please Sima immediately go out to greet him!" ”

"The King's Envoy has arrived? Could it be..." Jing Que stiffened, then glanced at Ye Xiu, and saw a burst of panic on Ye Xiu's face, and suddenly his heart became frightened.

It's just that the envoy of the King of Chu has arrived, and the two of them didn't have time to discuss countermeasures, so they hurried out with a heavy heart and heavy steps.

When he arrived outside the mansion, Jing Que saw that he was a confidant of the king's side, not an important minister in the court, his heart was slightly relieved, and then he immediately saluted: "The minister Sima Jingque pays a visit to the king." ”

When the envoy saw Jing Que saluting, he immediately spoke: "The edict said: The widow heard that Sima was dedicated to the country, and in order to make Hanbei County recover as soon as possible, he actually set an example and married a lonely widow to enter the door. ”

As he spoke, the messenger asked someone to deliver the pork, and then took out a wooden box and said, "Sima, this is a secret letter from the king to Sima, please keep it away!" ”

Jing Que personally took the pork, and then handed the pork to Ye Xiu on his side, and then picked up the wooden box himself, and then saluted: "Minister Sima Jing Que thanks the king." ”

Soon, after returning to the hall, Jing Que joked lightly: "Just now the king's envoy arrived, and Ben Sima was startled, and Ben Sima thought that he was exposed, but he didn't want to, but the king asked him to send a reward." ”

Ye Xiu followed with a smile and said, "The minister was almost scared to death by the king's envoy just now. ”

Jing Que smiled, then his smile retracted, and he looked at the three pieces of pork in Ye Xiu's hand and said coldly: "Reward Ben Jiang with three pieces of pork, is it that Ben will lack three pieces of pork in this area?" What will be lacking is the thousands of hectares of fertile land in Hanbei, as well as the ten thousand households! ”

When Ye Xiu heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then looked at Jing Que and said, "Sima, these three pieces of pork of the king have a lot of meaning." ”

"Huh?"

"Sima, the king naturally knew that Sima was not short of these three pieces of pork, but the king still rewarded Sima with three pieces of pork with great fanfare, and it was the same amount as the amount that the king rewarded those doctors in Hanbei County, but it was far less than the reward for widows. This is the king's attitude to all the ministers, and even to all the people.

The king still encouraged the nobles to marry widows as wives and concubines, but the king preferred that widows would be willing to be lonely and raise children for their deceased husbands alone.

Therefore, the king rewarded Sima with three pieces of pork, which was a reminder to Sima, and at the same time, he was also telling the ministers through Sima's mouth that at this stage, the ministers should not pay attention to the widow, so as not to let the people follow suit or be frightened when they see it. ”

Jing Que was stunned, thought about it, and nodded slowly: "I don't want to, just three pieces of pork are also full of the king's good intentions." In this case, then invite the great doctor Jing Shao, who will enjoy the king's reward with him tonight, so as to live up to the king's wishes. ”

"Sima Yingming."

Jing Que shook his head helplessly, this thing was done, the pit he dug himself, and now he needs to fill it back by himself.

Thinking of this, Jing Que saw the wooden box in his hand again, could it be that the secret letter sent by the king was for this?

Thinking about it, Jing Que immediately opened the wooden box in his hand, and then unfolded the secret letter that the King of Chu had given him.

Then, Jing Que just glanced at the bamboo slip, his face turned pale in an instant, and his heart was so shocked that he couldn't even hold the wooden box in his hand, and he slipped directly from his hand to the ground, making a loud "pop" sound.
