"Also, the matter of the great general Qu Kuo entering Ba requires the king to stop immediately, and the Qin State does not send troops to attack the Qi State, so our Chu State must not attack the Ba State first, lest after the division of troops, the Qin army suddenly attack Hanzhong of our Chu State."

"Okay, let Yin rest assured, the widow has written it down." Xiong Huai nodded, even if Zhaoyang didn't say it, he knew that in the end, it was the Qin State that ruled the world, and the Qin State was always a thorn in his heart.

Seeing that the king of Chu promised, Zhaoyang smiled reluctantly, and said weakly: "King, this third thing is that the old minister wants to give advice to the king, and he also asks the king to listen to the old minister at the end." ”

"In this matter, the old minister originally wanted to give advice to the king alone after the dispersal of the dynasty, but he didn't expect that the old minister didn't hold on, but he didn't expect that he would want the king to give advice in this situation."

"Ling Yin, please say, the widow listens." Xiong Huai said sadly.

As the saying goes, when a man is about to die, his words are good, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also mournful.

Xiong Huai feels that every word Zhaoyang says now is both sad and kind.

"The king, the last thing that the old minister wants to admonish the king is the story of the former king Zhuang Wang's sad face, please take King Zhuang as an example and remind yourself at all times."

"King Zhuang has a sad face?"

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then reacted, what Zhaoyang said.

The allusion to the melancholy face of the king of Chu Zhuang is about an incident that happened between the minister of Chu and the king of Chu Zhuang.

King Chu Zhuang is one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, and is another very outstanding king of Chu after King Chu Wen of Chu and King Wu of Chu.

Whenever he planned military affairs, and none of the ministers could catch up with him, he was in a restless mood and had a melancholy look at the court.

There was a minister surnamed Wu, a famous minister, who was named Duke Shen. He saw that King Chuzhuang had a sad face, so he stepped forward and asked: "The king is discussing matters in the court every day, and no one among the ministers can compare, the king should be happy, why is he melancholy in the court?" ”

King Chu Zhuang explained: "The widows have heard such a saying: 'Princes who can choose their own teachers can unify the world, and those who can choose their own friends can achieve hegemony, and those who are self-satisfied and think that no one can compare with their own will perish.'" 'Now that a person with such a low ability as a widow is discussing matters in the court, and the ministers are still unable to catch up with the widow, is not our country about to perish? The widow is so sad because of this! ”

This allusion was also quoted by Wu Qi in the past, and was used to admonish the first brother of the Warring States overlord, Wei Wuhou of Wei.

Wei Wuhou accepted the Wei State left by his father Wei Wenhou and continued to develop the hegemony of Wei.

Wei Wuhou was deeply influenced by Wei Wenhou, smart and capable, whenever he planned military affairs, none of the ministers could catch up with him, so he secretly felt very proud, and he was happy in the court.

However, this extremely subtle change in facial expression made Wu Qi observe.

Once, after Wei Wuhou and his ministers finished discussing the affairs of the court, they showed that kind of proud joy again. After the retreat and the ministers left, only Wuhou and Wu Qi were left in the hall.

Wu Qi used the sad face of King Chuzhuang to admonish Wei Wuhou, making Wei Wuhou realize his problem.

Now Zhaoyang also uses the deeds of King Chu Zhuang to advise the King of Chu, because of what happened at the court meeting today, Zhaoyang not only saw the pride of the King of Chu after concealing the intention of cutting the lord, but also saw that the King of Chu had not communicated with other ministers on this matter, and wanted to rely on his wisdom to gain the approval of the ministers.

The wisdom of the king of Chu is far-reaching, which is a great thing for the state of Chu, but if the king of Chu always wants to show off his wisdom and compete with his courtiers, it is not a good thing for the state of Chu.

Rigidity and self-serving, smugness, this is the taboo of the monarch.

Zhaoyang thought of the former Jin Kingdom in the court discussion, and Zhibo before the three families divided into Jin is a typical example, rigid and self-righteous, but the final result is that the family is wiped out, and even his skull is painted by Zhao Xiangzi and used to make wine vessels.

The personal talent of a monarch and the ruler's ability to govern the country are two completely different things.

Many monarchs are extremely talented in their own right, but as a monarch, they are precisely a big dusk monarch.

It is often unclear between the two ordinary people, and not only ordinary people, but even some very talented people are difficult to distinguish when they are not deeply contacted.

On the surface, a talented faint monarch is a completely different kind of person than those idiot monarchs with low intelligence.

But if you compare them carefully, there is no difference between them.

One is mental retardation, unable to figure out and can't see clearly, and then people follow the clouds, and go all the way to the dark.

The other is self-possession, thinking that everyone else is inferior to himself, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and then he is unwilling to turn back, and he goes all the way to the dark.

One is low ability, in the face of all kinds of opinions, can not distinguish between good and bad, can only be randomly selected, appearance, it seems that there is no distinction between right and wrong, can not listen to good words.

The other is clever and witty, and in the face of good medicine, he will refute you with his eloquence and make you speechless.

In the end, all these people rebelled against their relatives, and they were no different from the faint king.

For this kind of extremely talented monarch, if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can use people and turn back on his own, it is a great luck, that is, an emperor through the ages, if it is Yang Guang, there is often no insurance for an ordinary monarch.

Zhibo only defeated a family, and Yang Guang in the back used his talent to stage a trick to the death, defeating a prosperous dynasty in a short period of time, and interpreting the talented faint monarch to the fullest.

Of course, hearing Zhaoyang's advice, Xiong Huai also immediately took warning, but unlike what Zhaoyang thought, he thought of the future Han Gaozu.

After Han Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, he once sighed that he could not compare with the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, and the reason why he was able to win the world was because he could use people.

As a king, you don't have to know everything, and you don't have to be better than your own ministers, you just need to use good people.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai broke out in a cold sweat, nodded solemnly to Zhaoyang, and said: "If there is no order Yin, how much is the widow too much, today's advice, the widow must remember it in his heart and be vigilant at all times." ”

When Zhaoyang heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, good..."

Before he could finish his breath, Zhaoyang closed his eyes.

Sensing Zhaoyang's strange appearance, Xiong Huai was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Ling Yin, Ling Yin..."

And Zhaoyang's eyes never opened again, and he passed away with a smile on his face.

Outside the house, Zhao Yu and Zhao Ling heard the shouts of the King of Chu and immediately walked in, and all they saw was Zhao Yang's remains.

Zhao Yu asked sadly: "King, Ling Yin he..."

"Alas, Ling Yin is already gone."

When Zhao Ling heard the words of the King of Chu, he didn't care about the courtesy, walked to Zhao Yang's side to take a look, and then confirmed that Zhao Yang was dead.

"Father..." Zhao Ling immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Hearing Zhao Ling's cry, Xiong Huai said abruptly: "Guo Lao, now that the Zhao clan is in your ancestry, Ling Yin's future affairs will also require Guo Lao to help." ”

Zhaoyu nodded and sighed: "Lao Chen understands. ”

Coming out of Zhaoyang's mansion, Xiong Huai immediately instructed Li Qiudao: "Pass on the order of the widow and order the important ministers of the court to go to the Chu Palace immediately to discuss matters." ”

"Yui."
