Chapter 726: Governing the Country by Virtue
Qu Yangjun heard Zhong Lijun's complaints, fearing that the King of Chu would live a long life, his heart couldn't help but be full of worry, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, he frowned, and said curtly: "If this is the case, it is the destiny of heaven..."
As soon as everyone heard the Mandate of Heaven, they instantly remembered the five-colored stone on King Chu's waist, and then their faces froze.
At this time, Xunjun's face was stiff and his eyes were slightly disdainful: "The doctrine of destiny is purely illusory, how can it be taken seriously." Besides, the monarchs really thought that the mourning king was sick and died, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, Wu Qicai led the troops to leave Yingdu, and within March, the mourning king suddenly died of illness! ”
Qu Yangjun's face changed, and he immediately scolded: "Xun Jun, Hugh is talking nonsense, at that time, the mourning king was old and frail, and it coincided with the good news that Wu Qi broke the Wei army, and the mourning king was overexcited and died, this is the conclusion of King Su himself, how can it be taken seriously as a folk rumor." ”
Hearing this, Xunjun pursed his lips and muttered softly, but finally didn't say anything.
After seeing Xunjun retract back, Shang Jun smiled and said, "Gentlemen, although we don't know where the destiny of heaven is, manpower can also do it. ”
Zhong Lijun's spirits perked up, and he immediately spoke: "I want to hear about it!" ”
"If the king wants to control the locality, he needs a large number of talents to act as local subordinates, so he asks us to recommend talents to make up for the lack of talents." Saying that, Xunjun smiled and said: "Although we can't disobey the king's edict and have to recommend some talents, we can make some choices in talents." ”
Xunjun was pleasantly surprised: "What Shang Jun means is that we can recommend some waste to the king and destroy the king's plan." ”
"No, if we directly confront the king, we will only anger the king." Shang Jun shook his head and said: "However, I heard that to govern the country, the Tao is too high, followed by virtue, and then benevolence." Now the name of the king's benevolence and righteousness has spread throughout the country, but it is an inferior law of governing the country, according to the opinion of the next, the king can go further, rule the country with virtue, and the name will be passed down through the ages, isn't it beautiful! ”
"Governing the country by virtue?" Qu Yangjun pondered for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Good! Wonderful! It's good to rule the country by virtue. According to the old man's opinion, this matter of governing the country by virtue still needs to be notified to the feudal monarchs and county governors in various places, so that all places can recommend some virtuous and beautiful people to the king. ”
As soon as Qu Yangjun reminded him, the others immediately reacted and said overjoyedly: "Good! Wonderful! ”
On the other side, in the Chu Palace, Taibu, who was appointed to go to Qin at this time, immediately rushed to the palace to ask for a meeting after the King of Chu dealt with the state.
At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Taibu and said, "Taibu, do you know what is the purpose of letting you go to Qin State this time?" ”
Tai Bu looked at the King of Chu suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "Great King, didn't you let the ministers go to the Qin State to persuade the King of Qin to sacrifice the Black Emperor?" Could it be something else? ”
As he spoke, Taibu bowed and said, "Please also ask the king to command." ”
Xiong Huai nodded and said with a smile: "There are two ways to spread the prestige of the Black Emperor, one is from top to bottom, for example, what my Chu State is doing now is to be promoted by the widows, so that the great witches can spread the prestige of the Black Emperor among the people, so that the name of the Black Emperor will inevitably be recognized in the country in a short period of time."
The other way is to spread it from the bottom up, first by word of mouth among the people everywhere, and then the fame reaches the ears of the king. Finally, under the constant legends of the people, even if the king does not personally sacrifice, he will be convinced, and not only will not hinder the people from performing the sacrifice, but will acquiesce to it. Although the monarch does not personally sacrifice, on the day of the sacrifice, the due sacrifice will be offered by officials from all over the country. ”
Tai Bu was faintly relieved when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "The king means to let the ministers go to the people of the Qin State to spread the name of the Black Emperor. ”
Xiong Huai nodded: "Yes, there are very few believers in the great god Nuwa of the Qin Kingdom, and more are gods such as Wu Xian. Moreover, the matter of the Black Emperor giving the widow artifact has been spread from the Chu State to various countries since half a year ago. Based on the situation of various countries, I think that I will definitely belittle the great god Nuwa, and in order to belittle the widows, I will definitely not recognize the dignity of the black emperor of the great god of Nuwa.
Therefore, if you want to spread the prestige of the great god Nuwa in the world, you have to start with the people. ”
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Fortunately, the great god Nuwa is also a great god that has been circulated since ancient times, and the two things of creating people and mending the sky are known to the world, not made up by few people out of thin air." Therefore, the widow wanted Taibu and the great witches in the country to go to the northern countries to spread the belief of the Black Emperor. The widow wants everyone to believe that the great god of Nuwa is the Black Emperor, and the Black Emperor has favored the widow and given him an artifact. ”
When Tai Bu heard this, he said with some embarrassment: "Great King, the deeds of the Black Emperor have long been recorded in ancient books, and it is not difficult to spread faith among the people. It's just that other countries are okay, and the control of the people is not strict, but the Qin State, since the Shang Dynasty, has taken the people as the army, and the control is extremely strict. ”
Saying that, Tai Bu looked at the King of Chu and pondered: "King, if we secretly go to Qin to spread the deeds of the Black Emperor, I am afraid that we will be reported by Qin Min immediately, this matter..."
Xiong Huai said with a smile: "The widow has this concern, so he let Taibu go to the Qin State." Since it can't be spread secretly, then we can spread it openly. ”
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai held his beard with his hand and smiled: "Taibu is an important minister of my Chu State, Taibu personally went to Qin State, with the current relationship between Qin State and Chu State, I think that the King of Qin will not urge Taibu who is embarrassed by Chu State." When the time comes, please Taibu make a big show, go through the county and the township, and walk slowly all the way.
Moreover, the widow will also give the king of Qin a five-color stone, and ask the king of Qin to sacrifice Nuwa with a five-color stone. When Taibu passed through various parts of the Qin State, he placed the five-colored stone in a conspicuous position for the people of the Qin State to take a look. When you arrive in Xianyang, the entire Qin State will inevitably know about the five-color stone, and at that time, it doesn't matter whether the King of Qin believes it or not. ”
When Taibu heard that the King of Chu asked him to go to the Qin State, he didn't really want to persuade the King of Qin, so he immediately put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king, the minister understands." ”
So, the next day.
Xiong Huai once again took his ministers and personally sent Taibu to Qin outside the palace.
After the ceremony.
Dressed in a splendid costume, with a four-colored stone around his waist and a five-colored stone in his hand, Taibu sat on a wide wooden platform.
After making sure that the five-colored stone is placed in a prominent position so that everyone around you can see it clearly, you will nod to the people around you.
Then, eight strong men in strange costumes lifted the wooden court, and slowly left the Chu Palace and looked northwest to the beating of gongs and drums by a group of great witches.
Then, Xiong Huai stood on the palace wall, watching Taibu walk away with a large group of people from a distance, and couldn't help but smile lightly.
The crowd that went away was not only the witches under Taibu, but also the five hundred elite guards he sent, and thousands of onlookers.
At this time, Xiong Huai smiled and said to Chen Zhen beside him: "Chen Qing, you said, even the people of my Chu Guoying, who have seen the Dao Five-Color Stone descend into the world, can't help but want to watch the Five-Color Stone again, so how will the people of the Qin State react when they hear that the Heaven Mending Artifact Five-Color Stone has arrived?" ”
Chen Zhen smiled and said: "King, it must be a sea of people, thousands of empty alleys, a quick look." ”
"Hahaha..." When Xiong Huai heard this, he laughed, and for a while, the palace wall was full of the hearty laughter of the King of Chu.
