Many years later, whenever he saw the archer, the emperor of the Empire, His Majesty Xiong Jing, would always recall the distant noon when he was taken out of the way to perform the archery ceremony. He was just born at that time, and his blurry vision could barely see clearly that the archer shot six arrows at that time: one arrow shot at the sky, which means respecting the gods in the future; one arrow shot at the earth, which means respecting the gods in the future; four arrows shot at the east, west, south, and north, which means that he will be powerful in the future.

Of course, the significance of these six arrows was something he only knew later, just like his identity - the legitimate prince of the Southern Chu State during the Warring States Period.

This is not a identity worth boasting about. The legitimate prince is not alone. He also has a half-brother Xiong Han who was born at the same time on the same day. He is not worried about the dispute over the throne. He is worried that he is actually in the same era as Qin Shihuang. This year is the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin.

"Is Father safe today?" Wei Wei, Chu Palace, was covered with pavilions and outside the road gate, Xiong Jing bowed to Cai Bao. This was a greeting. He was the ritual, and he had to greet his father three times a day.

Cai Bao was the master of the King of Chu. Every time he saw Xiong Jing, he would think of the long-circulated Yao Ci: "A man, he will definitely prosper as a king."

"Back to the prince's feet: The king is safe today." Cai Bao answered with neither arrogant nor humbleness.

"If I have something to do, please see my father. Are you busy now?" I was originally asked An, and I could turn back to the palace after getting Cai Bao's answer, but Xiong Jing had something to see the King of Chu today.

"Please give me a young man to the prince." Cai Bao's eyes fell on the thing Xiong Jing was holding. He remembered that last time Prince Jing offered a model of a carriage with four wheels. This time, I was afraid that something would be offered to the king.

"What's the matter?" Cai Bao went into the hall and stood at the door of the east room. King Chu had just changed into a deep dress.

"Tell the king: Prince Jing asks for a meeting." Cai Bao bowed and felt that he had done the wrong thing, and the king seemed unhappy.

"What's wrong with him?" King Xiong Yuan of Chu was over fifty years old, with a lot of beards, slightly fat, and his eyes were deep. Yan Chao had just dispersed, and he seemed very tired.

"Prince Jing..." Cai Bao said, "Prince Jing seems to have created a new one..."

"What's new?" Xiong Yuan wanted to wave his hand to drive away people, but his mouth turned into: "...Let him come in."

The king obviously didn't want to see Prince Jing, but at the end of the conversation, he was "allowed to come in". Cai Bao glanced at the King of Chu in surprise, got up and left the east room, and went out to summon Xiong Jing to meet him.

"Children pay homage to the father." Xiong Jing, who was unknown, respectfully bowed and bowed in a regular manner as soon as he came in.

"Well. Get up." Xiong Yuanxu responded. His son was wearing black (black) clothes, his hair was hanging, but his face was a bit steadfast. Because of this, he could not see a trace of innocence in his behavior. Whenever he met, he had an illusion: this was not an innocent and friendly child, but a scheming adult.

"Father, my son will offer a powerful crossbow to my father today. This crossbow uses the twisting power of cow tendons, and can shoot three hundred steps away, and can kill enemy generals when facing each other. When craftsmen are familiar with it, they can build larger ones, and fire dozens of kilograms of stone bullets to break through the city..."

Xiong Yuan was wondering why the son in front of him was so mature, and he didn't care what he said until he heard 'This crossbow... can break the city'. Thinking of today's court discussion, this kind of nonsense made him feel a little angry: "How do you know that a strong crossbow can break the city? Who taught these lies?"

"I..." The principle of the crossbow cannon is actually very simple, so Xiong Jing can quickly create a model. He also wanted to create a real object, but this is a weapon. If you accidentally build a crossbow in the palace, it is a crime for a beautiful soldier. Now the King of Chu asks, and he is speechless.

"The child is willing to swear. Ask the father to ask the child to make a real thing. If he recites his words, he cannot break the strong city as much as the sun." Xiong Jing solemnly swore, and the Zuo Shishi behind the King of Chu quickly wrote a letter - Zuo Shishi said that Xiong Jing was the legitimate prince, so he swears solemnly, and what he said should be remembered.

"Hmph! I don't learn poetry and books, so I know all the tricks and tricks. The day before yesterday I heard that you let the boat fall into the water. If the country is left to you, it will definitely die!" Xiong Yuan scolded angrily, and while fumbled around several cases, he found the model of the four-wheeled carriage that Xiong Jing offered last time, threw it into his arms, and pointed at his son and shouted: "I won't go out yet!"

The father's anger made Xiong Jing inexplicably. Not only was he not scared, he wanted to argue with him. When Xiong Yuan talked about it, he bowed again: "Dare you ask the father, can you defend yourself?"

"..." After a reprimand, the son was not in a panic at all, but wanted to defend himself. Xiong Yuan became more and more disgusted, and he felt that he was deeper and deeper. Maybe today's crossbow was instructed by Zhen Yin Zimo, Zuo Tu Zhaoshu and others, but the historian was on his side, so he had to suppress it in one breath and said coldly: "I'll let you defend yourself."

"The child started reading poetry since he was two years old, and recently learned "Duo Shiwei" again. It is not that he did not learn poetry and books." Xiong Jing first argued the first sentence, and then said: "It was really too reckless to let the boat fall into the water the day before yesterday. You must be cautious in the future. However, there are unexpected situations in the sky, and people will suffer misfortunes every day, and somehow the child fell into the pond."

‘There are unexpected winds and clouds in the sky, and people have good fortune and good fortune at any time’. This sentence was published a thousand years later in the Northern Song Dynasty. Its ability to pass on later generations is all about the bumps in life and the fate is impermanent. Zuo Shi Zhuyuan, who remembers the words behind the King of Chu, heard this and was amazed.

At this time, Xiong Jing continued: "Those who are skilled and erotic are things that please women. The children are made of heavy weapons in the military and the country, and the two are different. For example, a four-wheeled carriage carriage carries twice as much as two wheels, and one carriage can carry three thousand kilograms. The transportation of food and grass in large military is extremely convenient. A strong crossbow is not something that pleases women. The lightest one kills the enemy, and the heavy one destroys the city. If the father does not believe it, the child will know it if he creates a real thing."

"Are you finished speaking?" Xiong Jing's words only touched the historian, but did not touch the King of Chu at all. In front of the historian, he stared at his son with bright eyes, and his words became more and more formal.

"Baby..." Xiong Jing sweated slightly on his forehead.

"The heavy trucks that are transported in the army can hold fifty stones, which is more than three thousand kilograms. What is the benefit of a four-wheeled carriage? A strong crossbow can shoot 300 steps, but the crossbows of South Korea are all shot 600 steps away. What is the benefit of a strong crossbow?" The King of Chu asked questions one question after another, and Xiong Jing's forehead was sweating even more dense. "Buy the weapon and compete for favor, and play with things and lose his ambition. I am extremely disappointed with you, so please step back."

In a daze, Xiong Jing somehow returned to the bedroom and had no appetite for lunch. He didn't care about the King of Chu's "extremely disappointed". He was worried that the four-wheeled carriage could not be equipped with two-wheeled carriages, and the crossbow cannons could not be compared with Han crossbow.
