The spring night was silent, only the wive's afterglow was in her ears, Xiong Jing hugged her with her right hand, her naked bodies were close to each other, and the rubbing of skin to skin was so comfortable that people couldn't help but moan. In the past few days, Xiong Jing has instructed a lot of things, but the more he instructs, the more he feels that he can't finish his instructions. There are too few generals who have moved to Mishima, too many civilian officials who have not been on the battlefield, and these civilian officials are not elders of the clan like Xiang Que, they are mostly secondary subordinate roles in the family.

The political situation of Xinying may be difficult to balance, and everyone in the world knows that the state of Chu has avoided Penglai, and Zhao Zheng will definitely try to find Penglai after he dominates the world. It's a pity that these people are still too young, the children of the nobles had just been crowned at that time, and the children of the common people were only seventeen years old.

Thinking of this, the faces of Kong Qian, Song Yu, Nao Cunning, Li Ji and others passed through his mind, and the faces of his younger brother Xiong Yan also passed through his mind. Countless things, countless people, all of which made him sigh heavily.

"Xinying must be safe." Hearing her husband's extremely suppressed sigh, Mi Xuan turned around in his arms, and her slender hands hugged him. Thirsty lips probed his lips and kissed him lightly before speaking.

"With your determination to kill the enemy, I know that Xinying will be safe." Xiong Jing kissed back, glad that his wife was already a soldier who had killed the enemy. Some things are useless to talk to ordinary people, after all, there are many people who want to kill, but there are very few people who really kill people.

"Giggles." In the dark, the laughter was crisp, like the song of birds in the forest in the morning. In the laughter, she thought of shooting at her husband, and when she thought of the terrible scene, her laughter subsided, and she said, "But I almost ......"

"It's good to kill people." Xiong Jing comforted her. "Kill, not slaughter. Slaughter is against women and children, the old and weak, they are weak, why should they be killed? Killing is only for Ding Zhuang's soldiers, and if they are killed, they can rule, which is no different from a battle between the two armies. Only ......"

Xiong Jing raised his voice, but he didn't sort out what he wanted to say, and at this time, Mi Xuan's whole person was lying on top of him, she liked this posture, so that the two of them could be close to each other. "How?" She asked with a smile.

"Only the world is declining, men are mothers, do not learn combat skills, only read poetry and books, fabricate ancient things, fabricate the words of the ancestors, and use the mandate of heaven to deceive people with great righteousness, those who believe in them die, and those who oppose them live." Xiong Jing said this with a frown, he wanted to teach his wife as many things as possible, but he couldn't find the key.

"Nianghua?" Mi Xuan could understand the meaning of the word, but it was the first time she had heard of it.

"Yes." Xiong Jing doesn't care about this word, there is a gap of more than 2,000 years between the end of the Warring States period and the later generations, but history always rhymes. He suddenly remembered the custom that the Yue people need to hunt their heads before becoming adults, and said: "A person who has not gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy should not be regarded as an adult. ”

"The Chu people are not credible either?" Qi Xuan thought that if she could get rid of the noble and lowly domains, people would be the same, but under the teaching of men, she gradually found that even the nobles of Chu who spoke the same Chu language were very different.

The four clans of Qu, Jing, Zhao, and Song are completely different from Ruo Ao and Xiang; If the Ao clan and the Xiang clan seem to be secretly competing, they are actually the same. The unheard of word 'class' kept appearing in men's words, and it also left a deep imprint on her heart. The purpose of politics is to compete for interests, but what determines interests is location, which includes geographical location, economic industrial chain position, and social organization position.

In addition to language and customs, people are also different from person to person. Class refers specifically to one's position in the social organization, which often determines one's position in the economic chain.

Because of the mastery of force, the aristocracy was at the top of the social hierarchy, and the nobility was at the middle and low level in vain to try to coax the nobles to give up force by fabricating lies that benevolence and righteousness won the world and unkindness lost the world; Or use 'changing the law to strengthen the country' and 'dominating the world' as bait to induce the nobles to kill their own kind. Wait until the aristocracy is weak, and then seek power by non-violent competition for the rule of officials.

The former was done by Confucianism, Confucius had mixed good and bad, and now the Zhou ritual has gradually become a united front; The latter was done by the Legalists, and before the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Kanto region had already changed the law. Under the more perfect law, the nobles of the Qin State collapsed and were completely ruled by officials.

What is obtained by blood can only be snatched by blood. Xiong Jing became more and more convinced of this, and he repeatedly mentioned it in his words to his wife. People can fail and die in battle, but they cannot be deceived or fooled.

"There are also untrustworthy people in Chu." After thinking about it for a while, Xiong Jing found that the most important problem was to distinguish friend from foe, and what the great leader said was not wrong at all. "What are Chu people? Those who carry Taiyi are not Chu people. What kind of Chu people can be trusted? Arita is credible to kill the enemy. ”

"Witchcraft is your arm." Xiong Jing instantly thought of Wu Qi, and he couldn't help laughing, he forgot that he still had a layer of identity. "I am the spiritual cultivator of the Chu State, the chief of all the witches, you are the queen of Ao, and the surname is Mi, you can be a left disciple."

"The left disciple is the official position of the mansion, how can he ......" Mi Xuan was surprised, Zhao Huang was the left disciple before Zhu Ao, and the left disciple was in charge of the mansion, not for her to be a woman.

"It's not the left disciple of Zhao Huang, it's the left disciple of the sacrifice." Xiong Jing Road. "This position is equivalent to the uncle of the Zhou people who held the sacrificial ceremony, and Qu Yuan and Huang Xie once served it. You are a disciple of the left, and you can sacrifice to the gods and ancestors on my behalf, and you are above everyone. Sima, Mo Ao, Taibu, Attack Yin, Zhan Yin, Zuo Shi, Zhangmeng, Yi Wu, Private Witch, and Youwu are all your subordinates. ”

There are indeed many differences between the Chu people and the Zhou people, the biggest difference is that the Chu people are influenced by merchants, and they are a **** regime, with a complete set of spiritual officials related to religion. In this system, even the lowest level of witches are hereditary. Before the royal court allocated funds to the county to repair and establish the Wu Temple, the daily expenses of each household were used for the shrine of the New Spring and Autumn Festival as many as hundreds of dollars every year, and with some of the money, the whole system existed tenaciously.

"Sima Mo Ao is a military officer, and he is also a ...... My subordinate? "Mi Xuan's understanding of the Chu State is not as deep as Xiong Jing's, and he was surprised again when he heard that he suddenly had so many subordinates.

"With the system of the Chu State, it is also." Xiong Jing Road. "Before the first king and king, the state of Chu had the positions of Sima, Mo Ao, Zhu Yin, and all witches, and the king of Wu imitated the Zhou people to establish a royal system, and each position was left or abandoned, which is the root cause of the difference between the official positions of the state of Chu and the Zhou people.

However, witchcraft and aristocracy are opposite, and they must balance each other, and not rely on witchcraft. In the past, Jiuli was chaotic, the people and gods were mixed, and there were no things, and the south was ordered to be a god, and the fire was to be a people, so that the old normal, and there was no invasion, which was called a Jedi Tiantong. ”

"Jedi Skypass?" Mi Xuan didn't understand.

"After the Jedi Tiantong, only the witch can pass through the world, and the rest cannot." Xiong Jing Road. "When the rest of the people ask for sacrifices to the gods, they need to use the spirit officer as a medium." Seeing that his wife was still puzzled, he could only further elaborate: "If Taiyi is compared to Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, Wu Ji is an official of the Qin State." Before the Jedi Tiantong, the lady enjoyed it, and the family was a witch history, and everyone could worship the gods and goddesses, without the need for witches. ”

"In this way......" was compared to the Qin State, and Mi Xuan completely understood.

After all, the spirit official system is still an official, and if it is an official, it will monopolize power, even if it is the power to worship the gods. The purpose of dancing is to lure the gods down to enjoy the sacrifices, and there is also a situation where the gods possess the spirits and the witches pass on their behalf, that is, they are channeled to the gods. This was never allowed by the aristocracy, and the king of Chu, as a spiritual cultivator, suppressed religion by means of religion.

Seeing that his wife understood the point she wanted to express, Xiong Jing said, "Yes." The evil of this spiritual officer cannot be completely relied on, and it needs to be counterbalanced by force. The best is for everyone to sacrifice, not for witches. Just like the army, everyone can kill the enemy, but the general can lead one person to kill the enemy, but it is still necessary to lead the strategist to lead it, and the witch can not be monopolized, but this matter cannot be achieved in several lifetimes. ”

"I remember." Qi Xuan heard the regret in her husband's words, he spent the most time on military affairs and spiritual education, but unfortunately Qiang Qin was forced to focus on military affairs.

"This matter cannot be rushed. Witchcraft can't go, and the right to monopolize must go. "Xiong Jing Dao." Whether it succeeds or not, it is all up to the common people. The common people are literate and reasonable, read the ancient classics, and before knowing the Jedi Tiantong, everyone can sacrifice to the gods. If the common people are ignorant and only know that witches worship and pray to God, they will definitely not succeed. ”

Previously, once Xiong Jing understood the essence of the spirit officer system, he immediately understood her nature. Confucius, who is a Yi person, said, 'I follow Zhou', not without reason. The so-called spiritual religion is actually a 'spiritual' religion, or it can be called a jade religion. The original meaning of 'Ling' is to serve the gods with jade, and it specifically refers to the witches who serve the gods with beautiful jade. Jade culture is a unique culture in China, which is closely linked with religion and forms a tradition of loving jade and valuing jade in China. It's just that the Zhou people erased the religious attributes of jade and made it a symbol of status and gentleman.

Two weeks and eight hundred years, before the Zhou-style aristocratic system was completely Confucianized and officialized, the spiritual official system of merchants was also completely officialized. Liu Bang rebelled against the emperor of the Qin Dynasty as a Qin official, and Zhang Han rebelled against Xiang Yu of Chu as a Qin general, and it is a reason for Wei Ziqi and others to betray the king of Shang. Of course, Xiong Jing is unwilling to retrace the path that the merchant has walked, and the final solution can only be to reform the Spiritual Sect and return to the free era before the 'Lady is Enjoyed, Home is the History of Witches'.

But it's too difficult to get to this point, and there's no way to change it. Witches were the same as the Egyptian priests, they were not secular officials of the Chu State, and they could be killed with a single royal order. This is also the reason why the Spiritual Cult canon cannot be compiled.

What he can't change, naturally he doesn't expect Mi Xuan, which will take generations of persistent efforts to complete. Even so, at that time, the Chu people would inevitably have to split into two factions, and perhaps they would have to fight several extremely bloody religious wars to complete this difficult change.
