Chu Guoshou County.

More than two months have passed since Wang Shi recaptured Shou County from the rebels.

In the past two months, with the cooperation of the army and the Jianghuai nobles, the pillar state Tang Yu, who first built Guangling City and garrisoned Guangling for many years, relied on his personal prestige in Guangling to recapture Guangling without blood, among them, Shu Yongjun, the rebellious general who guarded Guangling, was killed by his subordinates.

After the recovery of Guangling, the sailors rushed to Huaiyin through the ditch, and the Huaiyin lord Dongcheng Jun saw that Guangling was lost, and the reinforcements of various countries were far away, so he committed suicide in extreme despair.

Then, Sima Jingque led the army into Huaiyin, and Huaiyin was officially recovered.

Then, Tang Wu of the Zhu State led the army to cooperate with the defeat of the division and cleaned up the rebellion from the south to the north, while Sima Jingque led the army to clean up the rebellion from the north to the south, plus the defeat of Sima Qian's army, in just one month, the Jianghuai turmoil was completely pacified.

A month later, the rebellious nobles were taken to Shou County.

Xiong Huai held a court meeting in Shou County, and in front of the ministers and the Jianghuai nobles, he issued an edict on the spot to sentence the 26 feudal monarchs who committed the most heinous crimes, and the 38 nobles below the feudal monarch to seven doctors or more, a total of 64 nobles, to be sentenced to capital punishment on the spot and destroyed.

Although the other more than 100 nobles who participated in the rebellion but surrendered on the spot in the decisive battle, all the heads of the family and the eldest son were executed, and the titles were reduced to one to three according to the situation.

On the day of the verdict, more than 10,000 rebels were escorted to the side of Huaishui and publicly beheaded.

On that day, the Huai water was completely red, and in the next three days, the Huai water was not clear, and the people did not dare to approach the Huai.

As the head of the rebel fell to the ground, Jianghuai shook, and both the nobles and the common people were silent.

Then, on the day of the execution of the rebellious nobles, Xiong Huai announced in the court that he would take back the fiefs of the exterminated nobles and re-establish the county.

Half a month later, the planning of the newly established county was completed, and in another half a month, the county magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants took office.

At this point, Jianghuai was completely stabilized.

On this day, Xiong Huai traveled in the Shou County Palace, Xiong Huai watched the beautiful scenery in the palace in front, and the commander of the Guards, Zuo Sima Deng Lingguang, followed closely behind.

At this time, Xiong Huai came to a fish pond, sprinkled a catch of fish food casually, looked at the fish swarming to grab food, and asked with a comfortable face: "General, what is the situation in Jianghuai now?" Are the nobility stable? Have the people returned to peace? ”

When Deng Lingguang heard this, his face did not change at all, and he responded in a voice that was not mixed with any emotion: "Back to the king, according to the spies in Zhibeiya in various places, all parts of Jianghuai have returned to calm, and the rebels have either surrendered directly or turned into refugees and defected to various counties, and the roads of the entire Jianghuai have been cleared, and the rangers and strongmen who have taken advantage of the chaos have hidden and turned into good citizens, and the public security in Jianghuai is better than before at this time.

Moreover, the nobles from all over the country closed their doors after this battle, and all the children of the clan were at ease to study and practice martial arts at home, and there were no swaggering people on the street.

The officials and directors are fair and strict, the soldiers are cautious and cautious in patrolling, the merchants are not deceived when they open their businesses, the craftsmen are striving for perfection, and the farmers are wholeheartedly governing the fields.

Jianghuai up and down, each performing its own duties, each has its own home.

Now, the nobles and common people of the entire Jianghuai are all praising the king and gods. ”

Xiong Huai smiled and nodded, and then sprinkled another handful of fish food, attracting more fish to come and grab it.

"So what are the ministers of Shou County doing now?"

"Back to the king." Deng Lingguang responded with a blank look: "Ling Yin is dealing with state affairs every day; The crown prince followed Ling Yin to deal with state affairs during the day, and feasted the ministers and nobles of Shou County at night; Zhu Guo stayed in the military camp outside the city all day; Sima spends his days doing nothing; Si defeated and inspected Shou County twice a day; Dr. Sam Lu and some other ministers were also idle in the hotel. ”

"Oh!" Xiong Huai smiled, and everyone's reactions were all expected by him.

With the stabilization of Jianghuai, all the affairs in various places were handed over to the county Yin to deal with, and most of the ministers in the court were idle.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked again, "What is the army outside the city doing now?" ”

"Except for three days of practice, the rest of the time is all about idleness, singing and wrestling all day long."

After knowing the following movements, Xiong Huai smiled again and asked, "What is the most discussed thing among the ministers and people in Shou County recently?" ”

Deng Lingguang still said in a voice as plain as water: "Now everyone is talking about when the king will return to the capital, not only the soldiers in the army are asking, the ministers in the court are also asking, and even the nobles in Shou County are also asking."

In the past few days, at the prince's night banquet, many people have asked this question. ”

"Well, it's time too." Xiong Huai smiled.

Jianghuai is over, and for the ministers and the army, it is time to return to Yingdu.

However, Xiong Huai is different, since he left Yingdu last time, he has never thought about going back.

He planned from the beginning of the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, concentrating all the resources in the Jianghuai area in Shou County, even if Shou County was plagued by the rebels for several months, Shou County's money and food were still not used up, and even only a very small part of it was consumed.

Moreover, he let Hui Ang govern Shou County for many years, and couldn't help but expand the scope of Shou County's city, seeing that the city walls of Shou County were built high, large and strong, and he also built a royal palace in the city in advance that was not smaller than the Yingdu Wangcheng and was close to half of the Yingdu Wangcheng.

Even the exterminated aristocracy.

Isn't this what he did before just for this day!

It's time to announce the relocation of the capital to Shou County.

As long as the capital is moved to Shou County, then he can immediately break away from the huge aristocratic group in Yingdu, greatly reducing the resistance to changing the law in the future.

As long as the capital is moved to Shou County, then he can break away from the core area of the Zhaojingqu three clans, and in this way, he will definitely be able to interrupt the monopoly of the Zhaojingqu three clans on Ling Yin's position. Perhaps, after Qu Yuan's generation, there will be a non-Zhaojingqu clan and a non-Gong clan Ling Yin in the Chu State again.

As long as the capital is moved to Shou County, he is creating a new group of nobles and a group of nobles who support the new law according to his own ideas.

As long as he moved the capital to Shou County, he could get out of the whirlpool of Qin, Wei and Han, throw the trouble of Qin to the Three Jins, and then he could attack Qi and Song wholeheartedly.

As for the strategy of Qin State and Wei and Han Jin, it is too difficult, and the Qin State is dangerous, and it is too difficult to attack. And Wei Han lives in the middle of the world, and if he moves his whole body, attacking a country will attract a group, if he does not cripple the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Zhao first, it is impossible to conquer Wei Han.

And if Qin, Qi and Zhao have been crippled, then the strength of the Chu State is already an absolute advantage, and even in the face of other countries, it is already the trend of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

At that time, it was the same no matter who you hit.

Therefore, whether it is for the next change, or to facilitate the pace of the world in the future, it is imperative to move the capital to Shou County.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's eyes sank slightly, revealing an unwavering look, and then threw all the fish food in his hand into the pool, and said: "Spread the edict, tomorrow the widow will hold a court meeting." ”

"Yui."
