Chapter 1255: Retraining the Prince
In the city of Yingdu, in a residence, Long Shujun got the prince's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "After drinking and spitting out the truth, it seems that the prince still belongs to Yingdu in his heart!" โ
Saying that, Long Shujun immediately said to the doorman who came to report: "Quick, immediately send a message to Shouying, and let our people immediately spread two pieces of news in Shouying."
First, the ministers of the Jiang and Han dynasties worshiped the prince, and the prince and the monarchs met and rejoiced. Second, the prince will never forget Yingdu in his heart, as long as the prince ascends the throne, then he will definitely move the capital back to Yingdu. โ
"No."
As soon as the doorman left, Long Shujun pondered for a long time, and then looked at the east with hatred: "King, you destroyed my Longshu vein for the sake of the new law, and I, too, will destroy your new law for my Longshu vein."
Tyrant, sooner or later you will pay for your tyranny. โ

Just as the prince was on his way back to Shouying, various news suddenly came out of Shouchun City.
The main thing is that the Jianghan nobles took refuge in the prince, and the prince promised the Jianghan nobles to move the capital back to Yingdu after they ascended the throne.
As soon as these news came out, it immediately caused panic throughout Shouying.
In the Chu Palace.
After listening to Chen Zhen's report and understanding what happened, Xiong Huai's face suddenly sank and asked, "Have you found out who spread the rumors?" โ
Chen Zhen shook his head heavily, then met the disappointed gaze of the King of Chu, and said a little anxiously: "The king, according to the investigation of the ministers, the people who spread rumors in Shouchun City are very deeply hidden, and they don't seem to be spies from other countries.
Because the spies who knew Beiya before were mainly concentrated in Yingdu, and Shouchun's side was inevitably a little lacking.
Moreover, Shouying's side has always been a gathering place for Jianghuai nobles before, and a large number of Jianghuai nobles have set up industries in Shouchun City.
Therefore, the minister asked the king to give the minister some more time. โ
When Xiong Huai heard this, he knew that Chen Zhen had locked his eyes on the Jianghuai nobles, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Xianqing can go and check, the widow is waiting for the news of Xianqing." โ
"King Xie!"
On the other hand, when Shou Ying's ministers learned that the content of the rumors was generally true, most of them were stunned.
Some people deeply regretted it, some people suddenly became wary of the prince, some people secretly hated the prince and gritted their teeth, and some people began to write to defend the prince and denounce those villains who spread rumors, and some people began to write books to attack the prince.
In just a few days, Xiong Huai received a large number of letters defending and attacking Prince Heng.
At this time, Xiong Huai sat alone in the study, looking at the large pile of books on the Wang case, and couldn't help but show a sneer: "Sometimes, the surface is calm, but the undercurrent is turbulent under the calm, which is fatal, because the widow can't see what these ministers are thinking, and the widow doesn't have the time or strength to guess what they think."
Now it's okay, the widow showed a little movement, but he punished the prince three times and beat the prince once, and now as soon as the prince shows his flaws, all the ghosts, snakes and gods come out.
Like Fan Huan Chen Zhen, who saw that the widowed father and son had signs of disagreement, and entered the palace alone to implicitly advise, this is the loyal minister of the country.
Like Hou Jingyang, who saw that my father and son did not get along, but still made friends with the prince, this is the prince's sworn friend.
Like Yan Lingjun, as the feudal monarch of the country, enjoying the preferential treatment of the country, seeing that my father and son are not compatible, he has never had the slightest intention of admonishment, and he is directly close to the prince, this is not a fool with no eyes, or a rebellious minister who is dissatisfied with the widow and the court.
As for these defenders of the prince's letter, there are loyal ministers loyal to the country, there are also speculators who are ready to take refuge in the prince, and there are traitors who deceive the widow.
And those who wrote to attack the prince, there are also loyal ministers who are loyal to the widow, there are villains who are ready to attack the prince's ascendancy, there are traitors who divide my father and son, and there are even more spies from other countries who are ready to cause trouble in the widow's country.
As for those who remain neutral, there are those who have a clear eye and a duty person, there are those who do not bet when they can't see the situation clearly, there are fools who realize it later, and there are also lurkers who have always been neutral.
Therefore, for these people whose specific ingredients are ambiguous, the widow has to take another look to see whether their hearts hidden in the chest cavity are black or red. โ
As he spoke, Xiong Huai's eyes showed a burst of murderous intent: "The widow is old, and the abolished prince will definitely shake the country's capital, since it is going to be chaotic for a while, then it is better to be in chaos for a while under the control of the widow."
When the widow sees the ministers clearly, the day when the widow and the state of Chu are ready is the day when the net is closed.
Back then, King Zhao was able to achieve chaos and then rule, and in the future, widows can also do. โ
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai showed a burst of helplessness again, and sighed to himself: "In ancient times, Jiang Taigong fished with a straight hook, and those who wished to take the bait, and now there are widows who take the prince as bait, and those who wish to take the bait, and the widows and the princesses are really equal!" โ
Speaking of this, Xiong Huai laughed at himself again: "It's a pity, Taigong fishing has been famous for centuries, and widows are fishing... Those who are unkind to their fathers will be infamous and will be reviled by future generations.
Tsk, being the king of Chu to be a widow is really unprecedented, and later... Well, there will be someone to come..."
On the other side, the prince heard the news of Shouying's rumors halfway through, and then hurried back to Shouchun day and night.
Then, as soon as the prince returned to Shouchun, he didn't even return home, so he went straight to the Chu Palace, and then without waiting for the King of Chu to summon him, he went directly into the palace, and then without waiting for Xiong Huai to get angry, he consciously knelt in the hall.
When Xiong Huai walked into the main hall and saw that the prince was already kneeling in the hall, he dispersed the waiters, and then walked to the prince Heng, and said in a strange manner: "Yo! Isn't this the prince of the widows? How did you get back to Shouying? Didn't you accept the surrender of the Jianghan nobles and prepare to establish yourself as the king in Yingdu? Why did you come back to Shouying to see the widow? โ
When the prince heard this, he was almost frightened, and kowtowed again and again: "Father is angry, and his son is wronged, these are all villain rumors, and his son has no such intention."
When Erchen was only in Yingdu, he just said a drunken word after drinking, which was definitely not Erchen's original intention, and he also asked his father to learn from it. โ
"Absolutely not what you intended?" Xiong Huai sneered: "I'm afraid this is your true words!" Say it yourself, if it were you, would you rather say what a person says when he is sober, or what a person says when he is drunk.
Especially when you were strongly opposed to moving the capital before, and now you say this, how does this make others believe you?
Even if few people believe you, will the ministers of the DPRK and China believe you? Will the Jianghan nobles believe it? Will the Jianghuai nobles believe it? Will the people of Shouying believe it? โ
"Erchen... Erchen..." The crown prince was anxious, but in the face of his father's inquiry, he was speechless.
At this time, Xiong Huai sighed: "Prince, you have disappointed the widow. In the past year, the widow has asked the prince to meditate on himself three times, the previous two times just let you think about it behind closed doors at home, and the third time it asked you to go to the temple to reflect in front of the ancestors and ancestors.
Is the purpose of the widow in doing this to punish you?
No~~"
Xiong Huai looked at the prince and said with regret: "The widow is not punishing, the widow is hoping that you can introspect and make progress."
But what about you? The sons are almost adults, but they are still profligate and do not know how to restrain, and they are still drunk in front of the ministers, and they are even taken advantage of by the courtiers to talk about themselves.
The widow is over sixty years old, and there are few years left to live, and the prince is like this, how can you let the widow feel at ease?
If the widow is not there one day, and the country is all entrusted to you, at that time, can the widow rest assured under the nine springs? โ
When the prince heard this, his body and mind were terrified, and he was even so frightened that he didn't even notice that the flesh of his whole body was beating.
