"Hehe, just like you think!" Long Shujun looked at Yan Lingjun's shocked face and sneered: "In the entire Chu State, except for the Great King, who else has the ability and courage to dare to put the people in Ling Yin's fief. ”

When Yan Lingjun heard this, his face suddenly changed rapidly, and then, with round eyes, he stared at Long Shujun and said, "Long Shujun, do you have evidence to slander the king, this is a capital crime." ”

"Capital offense? Hahaha~~" Long Shujun laughed and said, "Do you think I still care about this?" ”

Yan Lingjun looked at the crazy Long Shujun, his face was straight, and he said in a heavy tone: "Long Shujun, I know that you have a grudge against the king for executing your people, but this is not a reason why you can slander the king.

If you don't have evidence, then don't blame Benjun for being polite. ”

As he spoke, Yan Lingjun moved his right hand to the hilt of his sword, and then stared at Long Shujun with his eyes, as if he was about to draw his sword in the next moment.

"Of course I have proof!" Long Shujun said in a cold tone: "After I got the people of Yinling to go to Sheyang, I personally went to visit the surroundings of Sheyang Daze, and then finally found a large number of pedestrians passing by in the east of Sheyang Daze, and then I followed that path and found a remote valley fifty miles to the east where a large number of people once lived there.

Although I have not found any signs of cultivation around the valley, I have found a large number of trees around the valley that have been cut down.

After I calculated the number of trees that were cut down and how old they were, the trees that were cut down appeared at most before and after the Yinling tragedy, and could meet the needs of tens of thousands of people, and then the number of trees cut down gradually decreased, until finally no more trees were cut down.

You must know that the land of Sheyang has always been sparsely populated, and most of them are distributed around Sheyang Daze and Sheyang River, so there will be no people to settle in such remote valleys.

The most important thing is that there is no farming, but a lot of firewood is needed, and the amount of firewood is gradually reduced, Yan Lingjun, you say, what is the situation? ”

When Yan Lingjun heard this, he groaned in his heart slightly, and excluded the settled people and the temporarily stationed army.

Since it is impossible for the people not to farm, and for the army to dwindle gradually, the greatest possibility is that the place will be to live in it temporarily, and then leave in batches.

Thinking about it, Yan Lingjun's heart was shocked, and then his right hand unconsciously released the hilt of the sword.

After a pause, Yan Lingjun said very heavily: "Even if the group of people who temporarily live in Sheyang are the people of Yinling, it can't be said that this matter is instigated by the Great King.

It may also be that a certain prince in the court has a hot eye on the wealth and the people. Even, it is possible that others see the chaos of the Chu State and want to disturb the Chu State. ”

"Yes." At this time, Yan Lingjun's eyes lit up, his heart was relieved, and he said quite excitedly: "At that time, it was the time when the Six Kingdoms were attacking Qin, and my Chu State did not move, maybe it was the Six Kingdoms or a certain country that was worried about the back road of our Chu State attacking them, so they planned the matter of Yin Ling." ”

When Long Shujun heard this, he immediately shook his head with great certainty: "This can never be done by other countries. ”

"No way! Why are you sure? Yan Lingjun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Long Shujun very vigilantly, and asked, "Then what country is it that told you to transport the people by boat at night?" Is it Song Guo? Or Qi State? Or is it some other country?

Also, are you already in a country now? Completely betrayed our Chu State? ”

“···” Long Shujun was silent.

"You really betrayed the State of Chu!"

"It was the king who betrayed me first!"

“···” The two were speechless.

After a pause, Long Shujun spoke again: "Yan Lingjun, I came to warn you this time.

As Wu Qi said a hundred years ago, the root cause of the big but not strong state of Chu is that there are too many feudal monarchs and too many nobles. The king was bent on changing the law to strengthen the country, and used Qu Yuan's reform twice, the purpose of which was to attack the feudal nobles, and then concentrate all the power of the country in his own hands.

Because of this, the nobles of the Jiang and Han dynasties suffered heavy casualties, and even most of the feudal monarchs lost most of their powers. Because of this, our Jianghuai nobles rebelled, and then suffered heavy casualties. Because of this, the king moved the capital to Shouying, and it has been out of your control.

Although the current new law has not been directly aimed at the nobility, I can be sure that once the current new law is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the king will definitely promote a new law that directly targets the nobles and feudal lords. For example, Wu Qi said, the gentleman's Ze is cut in the third generation, and for example, Qu Yuan shouted, and the gentleman's Ze is beheaded in the second generation.

When the time comes, I wonder how you will deal with yourself? ”

After speaking, Long Shujun saw that Yan Lingjun was silent, and said again: "I heard that when the king moved the capital, the prince made it clear that he objected, and for this reason, the prince was also locked up by the king for two months.

Not long ago, I spoke to the prince, who is gentle and elegant, benevolent and very, and is a man worthy of trust.

If yes... If you don't want to be the fish of the king and Qu Yuan, then the crown prince is your only choice. ”

After saying that, Long Shujun arched his hand: "That's all I have to say, I hope you take care and say goodbye." ”

After Long Shujun left, Yan Lingjun stood in the hall and was silent for a long time.

Although he had been telling himself in his heart that the Yin Ling incident was a conspiracy of other countries against the Chu State, but... Deep down, he himself didn't believe that other countries were doing this.

It may have been done by an important minister in the DPRK and China, or it could have been done by a certain important minister in conjunction with other countries. Its purpose is to force them to rebel against Long Shujun, and then take the opportunity to put pressure on the king, and depose and even... Yin Zhaoju, Zuotu Qu Yuan and others will be ordered to exterminate the clan.

Of course, it's also possible...

Thinking about it, Yan Lingjun's heart tightened.

Half a month later, the prince came out of the temple to reflect, and as soon as he went out, he saw the general Pan Xin standing outside the door with a happy face.

Seeing this, the prince's face sank, and he reprimanded: "General, the temple is a solemn place, and it should be kept solemn, why do you have a hippie smile." ”

When Pan Xin heard this, he barely maintained his solemnity, but he still said with some joy between his eyebrows: "Prince, the prince and the marquis have a letter from his brother, not long ago, the news of the Zhao State reached Shouying, and the king convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

Then, during the discussion, Ling Yin made a statement to the king in front of the ministers, saying that the root cause of the decline of the Zhao State was the abolition of the father of the Zhao master.

Yes, Ling Yin asked the king to learn from it. ”

Speaking of this, Pan Xin said with a smile: "Not only Ling Yin spoke, but Zhu Guo was still a rich prince at that time, and all of them used this to persuade the king, and the other ministers did not object.

Therefore, the governor said that the prince is highly regarded and has a stable position, so there is no need to worry. ”

When the prince heard this, he was overjoyed, and then hurriedly asked, "Ling Yin, are they really so admonishing the king?" ”

Seeing Pan Xin nodding, Prince Heng asked expectantly, "How did the king reply?" ”

"The king said that the prince has been outside the capital for a long time, which is not good for the country, so let the prince return to Shouying as soon as possible." Speaking of this, Pan Xin said with a happy face: "Since the prince entered the temple, the king has sent two edicts, asking the prince to return to Shouying as soon as possible after he comes out of the temple. ”

"Twice!" When the prince heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yes, Lone should return to the capital as soon as possible." ”

While he was talking, an official walked to the side of the prince: "I have seen the prince, and the minister is ordered by the right Sima to ask the prince to go to Yingdu." Right Sima said that he had arranged a banquet for the prince in Yingdu. ”

When the prince heard Jingyang's invitation, he did not refuse, and immediately responded: "Good, Lone will go to Yingdu to meet with Youma later." ”

On the same day, the prince returned to Yingdu and carnivaled with Jingyang until late at night.

The next day, the prince got up in the middle of the day, and as soon as he went out, he saw the general Pan Xinyu report: "The prince, Yan Lingjun and other twenty feudal monarchs posted a request for the prince to meet. ”

The prince was stunned: "Yan Lingjun and they no longer take their own fiefdoms, why did they come to Yingdu?" That's not in accordance with the rules! ”

"Back to the Prince." Pan Xinying said: "Yan Lingjun, they gathered in Yingdu to escort the offerings to the king. Moreover, they also wanted to ask Right Sima whether the money and grain offered to the king in the coming year would be sent to Yingdu or Shouying. ”

"I see." The crown prince nodded, and then muttered: "So many feudal lords have come to visit, it is not appropriate to meet alone. Therefore, Lone planned to hold a banquet to receive them tonight, and asked them to come to the meeting tonight. ”

"No."

Night.

The prince and the princes will be very happy, late at night, drunk, drunk.

Yan Lingjun walked from his table to the side of the prince with a drunken spirit, and after a glass of wine, he asked with a half-drunk smile: "The prince has been to Shouying for more than a year, I don't know how Shouying compares to Zhiying?" ”

When the prince was half drunk and half awake, he said with a smile: "Huaishui is surging, it is not as good as the river, although Shouying is good, it is not as good as Yingdu's peace of mind······"
