The prince walked out of the hall with a lonely face, and then walked straight out of the palace.

At this time, the lonely prince Heng did not notice the blood on his face, and it all fell into the eyes of the palace guards.

The king was rude to the prince again.

When everyone saw this scene, they all felt a pang in their hearts, and then quickly looked away, not daring to look at the prince, lest they be noticed by the prince.

Then, as the crown prince returned to the palace, the news that the king of Chu had beaten the prince again soon spread among the middle and upper ministers of Shouchun City.

Shouchun City.

When Ling Yin Zhaoju heard the news that the King of Chu had beaten the prince again, he was stunned in his heart, groaned for a long time, and then sighed for a long time.

After Qu Yuan got the news, he immediately frowned, and was about to get up and enter the palace to lobby the King of Chu, but he thought about it and finally sighed.

Sima Jingque heard about it······

"The King... Prince..." When General Zhaolang learned about it, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Fan Huan Fushang.

As soon as Fan Huan heard the news from the palace, after the king of Chu summoned the prince and beat the prince, his heart tightened slightly.

Since the last time the king of Chu and the crown prince had a disagreement on the issue of moving the capital, the king of Chu has reprimanded the prince many times.

The first time was to lock up the prince for two months, the second time not only broke the prince's head, but also closed the prince for a month, plus this time, this is the second time to beat the prince.

In less than a year, the prince was punished three times, including two beatings of the prince.

Fan Huan smelled something strange.

Thinking about it, Fan Huan immediately spoke: "Come on, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to see the king." ”

On the other hand, Xiong Huai didn't know anything about the ministers mistakenly thinking that he had beaten the prince again.

At this time, Xiong Huai was thinking about the huge impact of the murder of Zhao Guogongzi Zhang's rebellion.

Although the turmoil of Zhao State has not yet completely settled at this time, there is no doubt that Zhao State will weaken in a short period of time.

If Lord Zhao's father went berserk because Gongzi Zhang was killed, and then planned to kill Zhao to take revenge on Gongzi Zhang, then Zhao would have to be in chaos.

Perhaps, the civil strife in Zhao will also lead to the intervention of various countries, and even a big war in the territory of Zhao.

In this way, Zhao Guo will definitely be completely finished.

Of course, if this hadn't happened to Lord Zhao, then Zhao Guo would not have a good time.

On the eve of the Five Kingdoms of Qi, Zhao suddenly formed an alliance with Qi, not only returning Gaotang and other places to Qi, but also planning to marry the daughter of the king of Qi.

Zhao's move is undoubtedly a great betrayal of the five-nation alliance.

And in the Five-Nation Alliance, except for Zhao Guo, who is a little stronger, the rest...

The Song Dynasty was worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and self-protection was hanging. The strength of Han and Yan is weak, and if they face Qin and Qi alone, it will be difficult for these two countries to protect themselves. As for the Wei State, the Wei State had lost two battles in a row before, and the elite in the country were all lost, so they were left to hang with their last breath, and they all relied on the Three Jin Alliance.

The current five-nation alliance is really uniting the weak to resist the two powers, no, the three powers.

And the civil strife of Zhao State this time weakened the powerful Zhao State in one fell swoop······

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai swallowed his saliva, and the originally relatively clear situation in the north instantly became complicated.

Of course, Xiong Huai can be sure that Qin and Qi will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

The four kingdoms of Wei, Han, Song, and Yan will fall prey to Qin and Qi.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai sighed: "In this chaos of the Zhao Kingdom, the plan of the Qi State that the widow had targeted before has also changed. However, this kind of nerve-wracking thing cannot be done alone. ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai instructed: "Send an order to the assassin Shi Ling, let him pass the news of Zhao's internal strife to the important ministers of the court, let the ministers pay close attention to the movements of the countries in the north, and on the first day of the next month, the widow will convene the important ministers of the court and the central government to discuss the matter." ”

"Yui."

In the harem.

Xiong Huai had just returned to Mrs. Song's palace and had not yet said a few words, when a waiter came over and reported: "King, Xianyin Fan Huan asks to see you." ”

"Fan Huan?!" Xiong Huai immediately frowned, he knew that Fan Huan would definitely have nothing good to say when he came to see him.

Besides, I just learned that I not only broke an arm, but also was placed under house arrest, and my heart was on fire!

How can I have time to listen to his nonsense!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Quick, tell Xianyin immediately, just say that there is no one left, let him please go back." ”

"Yui."

Soon, while Xiong Huai and Mrs. Song were talking and laughing, a messenger hurriedly walked over: "King, it's not good, just now Xianyin heard that the king didn't see him, so he broke into the palace."

Moreover, Xianyin also said that he was waiting for the king in the main hall, and if the king did not go, he would go to the harem to find the king. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, and then scolded angrily: "Fan Huan, this old horseman, is simply lawless. ”

Before the words were finished, at this time, Mrs. Song on Xiong Huai's side had already taken Xiong Huai's hand and said with a smile: "Why should the king be angry, Xianyin said so, I think there must be something important to tell the king, why don't the king go and see Xianyin." ”

Saying that, Mrs. Song frowned when she saw Xiong Huai, and showed a trace of sadness: "The king favors the concubine, and I am not very grateful in my heart, but if it is because of the concubine, the king's reputation will be damaged, which is definitely not what the concubine wants." ”

As soon as Xiong Huai heard Mrs. Song's words, he sighed: "Okay, let's go and listen to what Xianyin has to say." ”

in the main hall.

Xiong Huai sat on the throne, looking at the silent Fan Huan in the audience, and was extremely annoyed.

He didn't want to see Fan Huan, but Fan Huan forced him to come.

As a result, when he came, Fan Huan sat there and didn't say anything.

It was as if he invited Fan Huan to come, not Fan Huan looking for him.

However, Xiong Huai also knew that Fan Huan must have waited for him to speak first when he couldn't hold his breath.

Once he spoke first, the momentum weakened.

In this way, when Fan Huan speaks again, there is a chance that Fan Huan will be told by Fan Huan, and finally he has to admit that Fan Huan is right.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai took a deep breath, and then sneered in his heart: "There are many people who have seen such routines, and they will never be fooled." ”

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately saw his gaze retract from Fan Huan, then closed his eyes and began to recuperate.

Then, in the main hall, Xiong Huai closed his eyes to recuperate, and outside Fan Huanshen's wandering objects, the monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless.

For a time, the needle drop in the main hall could be heard.

After a period of time, Fan Huan saw that the King of Chu never spoke, and knew that the King of Chu would definitely not open his mouth today.

So, Fan Huan sighed and said, "King, since I moved the capital of Chu to Shouchun, the minister has been thinking about one thing. ”

“···” Xiong Huai glanced at Fan Huan, but he didn't know what Fan Huan was going to say this time, so he ignored him.

Seeing that the King of Chu did not speak, Fan Huan continued: "Because Shouchun is close to the Song Kingdom, the minister has always been thinking about the affairs of the Song Kingdom. ”

Xiong Huai: "···"

"Back then, before the accession of King Song, the Song Kingdom was bullied by neighboring countries again and again, and the land was gradually declining, and the country was in great decline. But after the king of Song ascended the throne, he reformed the national politics internally, promoted the virtuous and capable, carried out the royal road, and used troops externally, winning many battles.

Therefore, after the king of Song ascended the throne, he defeated Wei and Chu Poqi, and the territory almost doubled, becoming the first hegemon of Si. ”

Saying that, Fan Huan looked at the King of Chu and asked, "Great King, I don't know if the king thinks King Song is virtuous?" ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai glanced at Fan Huan, nodded and said, "Xian." ”

When Fan Huan heard this, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "The minister also thinks that the King of Song is virtuous, otherwise the King of Song will not be able to reverse the decline of the Song State and make the governance of the Song Kingdom prosperous."

However, there is a question in the minister's heart, that is, the King of Song, who is as virtuous as the King of Song, who has ruled the Song Kingdom for more than 40 years, and the King of Song, whose reputation in the Song State has been so high that it cannot be increased, why has he been repeatedly opposed by the ministers?

Even, the king of Song deposed a group of ministers, and a group of opposing ministers emerged, the king of Song killed a group of opposing ministers, and then a group of ministers opposed to him appeared, and the king of Song raised a butcher's knife against his courtiers many times, but he could not suppress the voices of opposition to him in the country.

The Song State, which was originally very stable in the court, has now been bloodshed several times and has been killed repeatedly, so that the whole country is in chaos, and the ministers and the people do not know where to go.

The Song Kingdom has been eroded to this point, and I don't know why the king thinks this is. ”

Xiong Huai looked at Fan Huan: "···"

Fan Huan glanced at the King of Chu, and when he saw that the King of Chu was silent, he arched his hand and said: "King, the minister has been thinking hard for a long time, and he has gained something today." The rebellion of the Song Kingdom did not lie in anything else, but in the fact that the foundation was not solid. ”

Fan Huan said in a lofty voice: "The minister heard that if you don't pay attention to the roots of trees, the trees will definitely have sparse branches and withered leaves; If the foundation is not paid attention to when building a high-rise building, the high-rise building will collapse before it is completed.

Therefore, in ancient times, when planting trees, they must take care of the roots, lest the roots be damaged. To build a building, the foundation must be dug deeply, lest the foundation of the building be not solid.

And the crown prince is the foundation of the country, and if it is not solid, the country will decline.

This is the situation in the current Song Kingdom, the King of Song does not like the crown prince, and repeatedly makes things difficult for the prince, so the ministers of the Song State are at a loss. If the ministers are at a loss, the people will be at a loss.

If the ministers and the common people are all puzzled, it will lead to confusion in the country, and as soon as the country is in chaos, all kinds of fallacies and heresies will emerge. When fallacies are spoken, people's hearts are in turmoil. When people's hearts are confused, the enemy country will attack.

In this way, at least the land will be reduced and the country will be weakened, and at worst, it will be like the Yan State in the past, and the country will die in a war. ”

After speaking, Fan Huan looked at the King of Chu heavily and asked, "I don't know if what the king thinks the minister said is reasonable." ”

How could Xiong Huai not know at this time that Fan Huan was persuading himself not to be harsh on the prince.

It's just that what Fan Huan doesn't know is that the current situation is not unintentional to him.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at Fan Huan with a heavy face, was silent for a moment, and nodded seriously: "Yes." ”
