Chapter 89 Chu Li 2

When it was just dark, the wind blew the most. Taibu Guanyi, who was rushing to the Beichen Palace, was blown by the north wind when he got off the bus, and he couldn't help but tremble. When he got up to the steps and entered the hall, there were already many court officials standing in the general chapter, and the three Taifu were also there.

"How about the Empress Dowager?" Guan Yi saw Sikong Tang Miao step forward and asked in a low voice, looking quite nervous.

"It's okay." Tang Miao replied lightly. "However, the Grand Tutor is here, this matter..." He shook his head, whispered and said, "The King is not a man from Meng Lang, why are he acting so fucked today?"

"If the country is about to perish, if the king dies, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will become a puppet son of the other tutors." Guan Yi, as a Taibu, naturally did not have the family of Confucian scholars, but was rejected by Confucian scholars. In his opinion, the king's dispute over the route at this time was actually a precaution.

"It's actually like this." Tang Miao said worriedly, and his expression became nervous. "If the Empress Dowager does not allow the King to marry the daughter of the prince as the queen and do not make the Prince of Victory, what if?"

"The king has been promoted to adulthood and is the king of a country. According to the customs of the people of Chu, whoever he marrys as the queen and whoever he makes as the prince will have nothing to do with the queen." Guan Yi said, but there was no slight slightest on his face, but instead he became more and more serious.

"The child is guilty, please ask the mother to atone for his sins." In the room, Xiong Jing apologized with sweat. Concubine Zhao was lying on the couch. Although the person was awake, she turned a deaf ear and closed her eyes. "The child was not angry with the mother, but the child just told the truth, please ask the mother to atone for his sins..."

Xiong Jing has been apologizing for guilt, and there are more and more ministers in the general secretary, and more and more people plan to help persuade him. However, when he heard the whole story, especially when the king mentioned the example of the ancestor King Mu killing his father, some people hurriedly stopped. Before King Zhuang, Chu State had been killing the lords. At that time, the people of Chu did not think that there was anything wrong with this. Now he couldn't believe that this was done by the ancestor king, and thought it was a slander from the enemy country.

However, this is the case. Chu State kills many monarchs. The king actually wants to go past King Zhuang to justify his name for the monarch and father. This is absolutely unacceptable. If this is true, how can the monarch-killing rebellion in Chu State be born again in the future?!

Xiong Jing apologized for the crime, and the three Grand Tutors and many court officials stood outside. They waited for the Sanlu doctor Qu Sui to come, and then a voice sounded outside the main room: "I heard that the Queen Mother fainted, are you safe now?"

Qu Sui was an elder of the clan surname Mi. His voice opened his eyes. Seeing her open her eyes, Ge, who was serving in front of the couch, replied: "The Empress Dowager is safe."

"The king broke off his marriage and the princes rebelled against me. This is a great deal of trouble." Qu Sui continued his words. "Since this is the case, it is not too late to make up for the siege. The rebellion of the countries should be tried to make up for it. If the king marry the prince Mi Nu as the queen, he should marry the princess of the various countries as his wife, and each of them will be able to get the right place. Please ask the queen mother, the king will allow it."

Concubine Zhao opened her eyes and had no reaction to Qu Sui's words. This was what she suggested, but her son was unwilling to do so. Not only did he not want to do so, but he also wanted to abolish Zhou Li and perform Chu Li. What is Chu Li? In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu was a barbarian, and the Hundred Years of War in the Chu and Jin Dynasty started. Thinking of her son being a barbarian, thinking of her son being a barbarian and making reassurance, how could she accept it when she was so upright?

Qu Sui said it once outside, but when he saw that there was no response inside, he repeated it loudly. Concubine Zhao still had no sound. After a while, Xiong Jing, who apologized for a while, gritted his teeth and replied, "I only marry a wife." Concubine Zhao closed her eyes again after hearing this.

"What is the king?" Through the wall, the general secretary didn't listen to it very clearly.

After looking at the couch, Concubine Zhao closed her eyes again, Xiong Jing opened her mouth and held back. He bowed and said, "Since the mother is safe, please rest assured and the child will leave." Xiong Jing stood up after saying that, bent and left the room. The ministers outside hurriedly bowed.

"What is the king?" Qu Sui asked again, and all the ministers who arrived at this time looked over.

"I said, I only marry a wife." Xiong Jing looked at everyone and replied slowly.

"What are the princesses of all countries?" Qu Sui asked anxiously. "Now all countries betray me..."

"The princesses of all countries are no longer my wife, and they are not related to me." Xiong Jing tried his best to lower his voice and walked a few steps outwards to prevent Concubine Zhao from hearing it in the big room. "All countries betray me? If they don't marry each other, they won't betray me?"

"In this way, the State of Chu will be destroyed." The ministers were silent, and only Song Yu said a heavy sentence.

"Of course." Xiong Jing nodded and said with a very serious expression: "I also think that Chu State is about to perish."

The king of a country actually admitted with a expressionless face that the country was about to perish. The ministers were not silent, but shocked. Song Yu was also surprised by Xiong Jing's words. After Xiong Jing finished speaking, he paused and said, "Why don't you save me? How can you face the ancestors when you go to the underworld in the future? The king is really willing to destroy the country of Chu for 800 years?"

"Why do you say that I don't save me?" Xiong Jing asked. "I broke up with a marriage, so I performed the Chu ceremony in order to abolish the Zhou Li. Chu Li only married one wife, but Zhou Li had three wives, so I didn't want to."

"The deposed Zhou rituals and performed Chu rituals! This, this..." Some court officials who arrived late did not know why the empress dowager fainted, or did not know the details of the matter after hearing it. At this time, he heard that the king wanted to "the deposed Zhou rituals and performed Chu rituals and performed Chu rituals and was immediately shocked. Only Song Yu smiled in his heart. He had known that Xiong Jing wanted to do this, but unfortunately Xiong Jing was very cautious and had always done nothing but said it. Today he finally said it.

"Does the king want to become a barbarian who has no king or father, no kindness or filial piety?" As the ministers shook their heads, Song Yu asked even more righteously. "In this way, please forgive me for not following me. Although I am from Chu, I have all followed Zhou."

Song Yu's smile is in his heart, and Xiong Jing's smile is on his face. He feels relieved. He smiled and said, "I have worked hard to compromise until today. Since I have made it clear today, then from tomorrow, the Chu people will be Chu people, and from then on, the Zhou people will be Zhou people, and from then on, the distinction is clear..."

"King!" Xiong Jing's words shocked the ministers again. The crowd's cunning originally came up with Beichen Palace and talked to Xiong Jing again, but unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and he had to speak to stop him.

"What do you want?" Xiong Jing had long seen the cunning in the crowd, and saw him shook his head repeatedly to show himself to restrain himself. "You want to speak, if you want to speak, will you be independent? Will the Song Dynasty be independent? If it were in the past, I might care, why should I care now? If the people of Lu want to follow Zhou, I can be independent tomorrow, and the Song Dynasty can be the same."

Xiong Jing really didn't care at all. Since he didn't care anymore, then do what he had always wanted to do and put his hope on his son. Before that, he needed to break up with the followers of Zhou. If he didn't break up, the Chu State would repeat the mistakes of King Zhuang and be influenced by the followers of Zhou.

"I married Mi Xuan as the queen during the La Festival next month, and only married a wife, not according to the Zhou rituals. After marriage, I moved to Shouying to prepare for the Qin people." Xiong Jing, who had no concern at all, spoke loudly. This was not to discuss with the ministers, but to announce to them. "The world is about to fall, and the Chu State is about to perish. At this time, I can do what I want to do. What I do is just abolishing the Zhou rituals and performing the Chu rituals.

What is Chu ritual? Chu ritual has no king or father, Chu ritual respects martial arts and bravery, Chu ritual believes in ghosts and likes sacrifices, Chu ritual is unruly and unruly. Whether the Chu people are barbarians or not barbarians, they are not Zhou people. Those who want to follow Zhou can follow Zhou; those who do not want to follow Zhou can follow me."

Song Yu originally thought Xiong Jing would care a lot about the survival of Chu State, but he didn't expect Xiong Jing didn't care at all. After Xiong Jing said calmly, he stepped out of the general chapter. The ministers were uneasy when they heard this. The Zhou people died early, and even if they were willing to leave Zhou, they could not get away from Zhou. Seeing Xiong Jing leave, they turned their heads a few times, and most of them left immediately.

However, in the end, I remembered that I had not bid farewell to the empress dowager in the big room. Everyone walked a few steps and turned back to bid farewell to the concubine Zhao in the big room. Then I hurriedly went down the stairs and chased Xiong Jing. The last remaining in the general chapter were Song Yu, Feng Guanzi, Kong Qian, and more than a dozen ministers including Zhaoshu, Lan She, Qu Sui.

"The king is really not afraid of the destruction of the country!" Wu Guanzi didn't say anything. He was a Zhao man, so it was hard to intervene. At this time, he saw that the people in the general secretary were walking in the air, so he sighed.

"The king is not afraid of the destruction of the country, but the king is not afraid of life and death." Kong Qian also didn't say anything. He understood Xiong Jing's meaning. Xiong Jing abolished Zhou Li and performed Chu Li mainly to get rid of two things: first, benevolence, the people are noble and the king is less important, and the law is the previous king... These people-oriented sayings that Xiong Jing did not like before can no longer restrain the Chu State;

The second is what everyone has always hoped that after the Chu people destroyed Qin, they inherited the political legacy of the Zhou people and used the Zhou rituals to govern the world.

This is the most important point. Regardless of whether it is the Zhou people or not, as long as the Zhou rituals are implemented, it is the successor of the Zhou people. But this is exactly what Xiong Jing has always strongly opposed. The reason for his opposition is very unique, that is, why did the Chu people shed blood for other people's political ideals? I, Chu people, have the ideals of me, Chu people.

It was surprising to hear such opposition at the beginning. Everyone sincerely asked you to be the emperor, but you didn’t want to do it. This is unreasonable! But if you think about it carefully, what you said may not be unreasonable. Is it a bad idea for the Chu people to replace Zhou people and Mu to guard the world?

Of course not. Since you have become the emperor, you must fulfill your obligations. The Chu army wants to guard all directions and to conquer the barbarians, which is all bloody. It would be fine to have a prosperous Central Plains, including Longxi, Yinshan, the Great Wall of Yanzhao, and the Wuling Mountains in the South. If you don’t guard these places, the world will have public opinion. If you guard, it will be difficult for military funds to transport them, and the war will definitely cause trouble for the people and money.

The Qin people could efficiently collect the whole world's men and women. Can the Chu people? The Chu people could not do what the Qin people could do. The Chu people would only use all their money and food to kill all their children. Originally, it was difficult to convince Xiong Jing to be the emperor, but now the Chu State is about to perish, and it doesn't matter whether he is willing or not.

"Does the world really want to be one with Qin? One with Qin, what about Zhou rituals... What about Zhou rituals?" No one said anything. Everyone understood the current situation and knew that Xiong Jing was right at this time to identify the difference between Chu and Zhou.

No one responded to Kong Feng’s question for a long time, and Qu Sui finally stepped out of the hall and said: “I heard that the sacrificial wine of Jixia Academy, Chunyu Yue, has entered Qin.”
