At this time, the guards had already dispersed, and in addition to the beautiful young man, there were some henchmen on Lin Wujun's side who were waiting for them.

Lin Wujun was not originally a feudal monarch, but he was also a powerful nobleman, seventy or eighty feudal monarchs in Chu State, they were all top nobles in Chu State, even if Lin Wujun was not a feudal monarch, it was not far from the top aristocratic circle.

It is said that he is the beneficiary of military merits, and he is also the beneficiary of King Chu's change, otherwise how could he be crowned Linwu?

However, once he climbed to the position of a feudal monarch, his attitude was completely different from when he was not a feudal monarch.

Now the nobles of the entire Chu State are opposing the change, believing that this is "a conspiracy against morality, good use of weapons, retrograde in the way of heaven, and against the law of the ancestors".

Of course, the little nobles and scholars wanted to change the law, but their strength was not strong enough, and the really powerful ones were the royal family, Qu, Jing, Zhao and other big families.

Many nobles who were originally fiefdoms in the elite region were forced to migrate to the frontier, and if it was a place like Linwujun, if it weren't for the Mo family's development in the South China Sea, which made it an important trade transit point, and there were gold mines in the nearby mountains, his life would not be easy.

From the perspective of the state of Chu, this can indeed increase the power of the state of Chu, so that the frontier areas can be expanded, the number of troops expanded, and the power and wealth of the central government can be strengthened.

But the state of Chu is not a person, but a collection of countless people with their own interests, and whoever moves their interests will bite people.

Originally, the nobles were looking forward to lobbying Prince Zang, but Prince Zang's status as a prince originated from his father rather than from these nobles, so he had to follow closely after the king of Chu, obey his words, and resolutely support the change.

The king of Chu was seriously ill a while ago, but he did not die, and after being cured, many nobles began to move.

On the one hand, it is said that the crown prince Zang cannot have children, I am afraid that it will cause the disaster of Xiao Wall in the future, not to mention the far, just to say that it is near, and the rebellion of Zhao State is not caused by the brother and the brother? The rebellion of the five princes of Qi was not also because the prince was so young that it was a big chaos? The state of Chu itself had a war of succession, and the matter set by the prince was vivid, so the nobles hoped that the king of Chu would think about it again.

On the other hand, the nobles set their sights on Prince Liangfu, a prince who could not have become the king of Chu unless the crown prince Zang was unexpected, became their target.

This time, it is very strange and strange to let the prince Liangfu patrol the border on behalf of the king.

Many people feel that this seems to be a signal that this may be the king's intention to replace the crown prince.

Some people also feel that this may just be a deliberate misjudgment in order to suppress those nobles who oppose the change, give them an illusion, don't let them toss, and give them an illusion of pinning their hopes on the next king of Chu.

But whether it is true or not, many nobles have begun to contact the prince and the husband, either half-concealed or directly opposed the change in public.

The king of Chu is also helpless, whoever opposes the change will be arrested? If there is such a centralized power, then what kind of law can be changed, the worst given by the Mo family back then may be to achieve a situation where half of the Chu State rebels, and the King of Chu may not be able to be ruthless.

Moreover, the external environment of the Chu State does not allow it, the Chu State is not the Qin State, and it can be changed by Wu Qi and Shengxuan and others in the most violent way.

Originally, when the Mochu Alliance was still alive, at that time, it was possible to use the slogan of "changing the law to benefit the people" to ask the Mo family to send troops, but after the alliance four years ago, the slogan of the Mo family was a little too scary, and the king of Chu also began to retreat, just afraid that something big would happen if he continued to do it.

The aristocracy was deeply entrenched and far from being able to be dealt with by a single king. In the external environment, all countries are eyeing each other, and the State of Chu does not dare to learn from the State of Qin, defend Luoshui and Weishui, and come to a vigorous change, whoever opposes it will be killed, in the name of tyranny.

In this case, suddenly letting the prince and the good husband patrol the border had to make many nobles have many ideas.

Xiong Liangfu himself gave the example of Shen Gong Wuchen, but he was actually catering to Lin Wujun's words. Shen Gong Wuchen wanted Xia Ji but couldn't, so he rebelled; But why don't these nobles want their own hereditary power and hereditary fiefdoms?

The balance between kings and nobles is difficult to grasp, especially when the doctrine of the Mohists spreads all over the world.

When the people are strong and the people are strong, and when they subdue the nobility, they will think of curbing the royal power and making it a symbol.

If the aristocracy is strong, they will think about continuing to divide the feudal system and take the road of Xiaoxi Zhou.

If this balance is not done well, it is easy to have an accident. The former is easy to be bewitched and used by the people of the Mo family, causing the rebellion of the Song Kingdom more than 20 years ago; The latter is a situation that the monarch does not want to see, Zhou Tianzi is finished now, if the Chu State is really made into a small Western Zhou, it will not be long before the royal power will be completely undignified.

Xiong Liangfu originally had no desire to compete for the throne, because his brother was stronger than himself in terms of background and popularity.

But with the undercurrent of the political situation of Chu under the suppression of several victories, coupled with the support of those nobles, Xiong Liangfu naturally had a different idea.

Without the support of the nobles, the throne would not be stable, if there are a few loyal people like Ye Gongzi Gao today, who are willing to retire after success?

The nobles were actually more anxious in their hearts, after the appropriate changes, the king of Chu greatly expanded the number of royal divisions, and the original elite Che Guang was also trained into a powerful cavalry and chariot soldiers, plus the artillery under the direct jurisdiction of the royal power, all made the nobles increasingly feel threatened.

If the king of Chu does not die, he naturally does not dare to rebel.

But the king of Chu will always die one day, and every day it drags on, the power of the royal power will increase by one point, and the greater the threat to their interests will be.

Lin Wujun is fine in the frontier, but even in the frontier, the royal power has begun to reach here.

Originally, according to the rules, the taxes of the pass belonged to the feudal king, but the royal power began to directly govern the taxes of this checkpoint.

Originally, according to the rules, the feudal monarch only needed to fulfill the feudal obligation to send troops, and the fief itself was used as his own money, but it was rumored that the feudal monarchs of the fief would soon be required to pay a certain amount of military taxes every year.

This was not the case in the past, and the previous military system determined that a small number of elites under the direct jurisdiction of the royal power, plus the private soldiers of the nobles and the county soldiers of the county dukes could be used as the main force of the campaign.

When you go on an expedition, you can directly recruit the people, and it doesn't cost much.

But since the reform of the Chu army, there is a royal division directly under the king of Chu, and the method of long-term training is also adopted.

uniforms, muskets, gunpowder, swords, cannons, tents...... All of this is on par with the Sishang side, and the great war a few years ago has proved the strength of the Sishang military system.

But...... This is piled up with money.

Sishang is paid with salaries plus compulsory service, full-time officers are used instead of military aristocrats, and land is not granted, but money is given, because money can buy almost anything except land in Sishang.

The king of Chu didn't have that much money, and now he still owes a large amount of usury to the merchants in the Sishang area, which has not yet been paid off.

But the king of Chu has land, so he needs to let the feudal monarch roll to the border and give up the land close to the capital in order to master this elite royal division, this is the contradiction.

As for the rest, cotton cloth, muskets, swords, etc., all need money to buy, and it is simply not enough to rely on the original levy of military taxes, and those old craftsmen can't do many things.

This requires money, and who will pay for it? You can't pick it from the hands of the elite king, and the king of Chu still understands that it is powerful.

Learning from the Mo family to engage in government-run industry and commerce is even more unremarkable, and the Mo family's goods are sold everywhere along the Yangtze River, and even if the Chu State does it, it will not be able to do it at all.

If you want to monopolize salt, this requires the ability to centralize power, and it is simply unrealistic in the current situation where feudal kings are everywhere and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

So the king of Chu wanted to take money from Feng Jun, but Feng Jun understood what the money was used for...... That's the training of the army, and once the number increases a little more, the next step is to take power, and they are even less likely to be willing to exchange their money for lead bullets that will be fired at them in the future.

It can be said that this change of the king of Chu was really "angry and resentful", the nobles were extremely dissatisfied, and the entire Yingdu was on the verge of turmoil.

At this time, he suddenly let the prince and good husband, who had always been friends with the nobles, go on patrol, which had to make many nobles think about it.

Lin Wujun also received letters from the rest of the feudal monarchs before, and many feudal monarchs were secretly colluding, if the list was listed, they were all county officials with real power and fiefdoms.

Xiong Liangfu is also a person who has received royal education, where would he not know that cooperating with the nobles is seeking skin with the tiger? However, the water has been muddyed, and he, who originally had no ambition, gradually gave birth to ambitions that he should not have.

And in his opinion, this time on the tour, I am afraid that his father has given up on him and thrown him out as a bait so that the nobles will not oppose it too much, because if there is still a slight possibility, it is not good to turn his face.

If the nobles support him, they can associate with him in Yingdu, the nobles are not officials, but nobles with their own fiefs and soldiers, and the monarch has no way to manage many things.

Of course, Xiong Liangfu knew that these nobles were using him, but why didn't he want to use these nobles to put pressure on his father?

If his brother really can't have children, and he has the support of the nobles, Xiong Liangfu feels that his father will have to think about what happens after his death.

Now that there is a great turmoil in the Song Kingdom, the doctrine of the Mo family is all over the world, and the feudal system can still be the king of Chu, but if the people are instigated by the Mo family to rebel, then they may be killed.

If his father really used him to get the nobles to stop jumping around for the time being, then he also happened to make his attitude clear to the nobles.

His brother also made a choice, and the two of them had to have a choice to stand with their father, because if the brother was not on his father's side, he would naturally stand.

And Chen Cai was pacified, Cangwu Dongting succeeded, and the new army was flourishing, as the prince's brother, he took the lead in expressing his attitude, and it was useless for him to show it again.

Today, Lin Wujun told the story of the hunting dog secretly, and Xiong Liangfu immediately accepted the defection of Shen Gong Wuchen, which was also telling Lin Wujun his attitude: If I am the king, I will feed you.
