Chapter 3 What can I do
The capital of Chu Shouying was built between Huai River, Feishui and Shaopi. A huge city with a radius of more than fifty miles is surrounded by green water and is built against the mountain. Like the ancient Ying, the royal city of nine parts of the country is built on the south side of the city, facing south and facing north. When the wide Jingmen enters the ancestral temple and country, the two are arranged on the left and right; the ancestral temple and country are followed by the court, and the ancestral temple is followed by the thirteen gate of the royal palace, which is followed by the thirteen gate, and the thirteen gate is followed by the official residences and various warehouses, and then by Yingmen. After Yingmen, the dynasty is governed. The dynasty was over the road gate, and the Yan Dynasty was within the road gate. During the two weeks, the royal palace like a three-entry courtyard was the standard system of the princes of various countries. Only the Zhou emperor and the Qin State, who claimed to be emperor, built the five courtyards.
Xiong Jing knew what was in the south of the bedroom, but he didn't know what was in the north of the bedroom. His sister Mi Yu said that behind the palace was the Yingdu market. As for how big the market was and what was sold inside, he could only imagine it. Now, in order to prove that what he said was true, he left the palace to build a four-wheeled carriage and crossbow. With the help of his sister, he hid in the carriage and finally left the palace.
'The capital of Chu was Yingdu, with the car hitting the hubs, the people shouldered, the roads of the city were scattered, the morning clothes were fresh and the evening clothes were bad.' Huan Tan of the Eastern Han Dynasty had such a description of the capital of Chu, but for Xiong Jing, who was flying out of the cage, the lively people were not the highlight, and the chaos was interesting. Because of the collision of the city officials, the rabbit sellers piled up into a mountain of rabbit cages, and the market was full of rabbits made him laugh so hard that he leaned back and forth. He laughed for several days, and he always laughed.
"If the father and mother know, you will definitely punish you, and you will still laugh." This was the last time you left the palace. After the car was pulled by a four-wheeled carriage with a double horse, followed by a crossbow that had not yet been assembled. At this time, Xiong Jing swept away the haze and smiled extremely brightly.
"Which one of the palace rules is not allowed to leave the palace?" Xiong Jing asked back, quite proud.
It would be fine if Xiong Jing didn't mention the palace rule, but when he mentioned Mi Yu, he was even more worried that she was no better than her younger brother. According to the etiquette, a woman was not allowed to go out at the age of ten. She could only obey the madam in the palace every day and learn about the female and female affairs. These two times she went out, she stole the palace talisman of her mother and acted under the name.
"Are you worried?" Xiong Jing saw her sister's disdain, and grabbed her hand and said masculine: "Don't worry, if the mother noticed it, I will have nothing to do with you."
"Mother's Mother, I'm not worried." Over time, Mi Yu's words were also influenced by him. "I'm worried that my father will know, and there is also the Chunyang Palace." Mi Yu looked at his younger brother and changed his concern: "It is rumored in the palace that his father wanted to make his younger brother the eldest son because he favored Concubine Li..."
"Well." Xiong Jing didn't know much about how Chu State established a crown prince, but it was obvious that the King of Chu did not like himself or his mother's wife - he spent the night with Concubine Li of Chunyang Palace almost every day, and rarely came to Qiuhua Palace.
"I don't care who is the eldest son," said Xiong Jing. "What I want is freedom. I don't want to be a carriage and crossbow to my father not to compete for favor, but to believe in me and give me greater freedom."
When Xiong Jing was talking, Mi Qi looked at his younger brother and was surprised that he didn't want to be the prince. "Is this true?"
"This is true." Xiong Jing looked serious and said it was rare to say to his sister. "The seven countries are competing for power, and wars continue to stop. In the world today, if there is no more than 30 years, all the nations will be destroyed by Qin. What's the best thing to do if the king of the country is destroyed?"
"Ah!" The carriage started moving forward again, and the market was still noisy, but Xiong Jing's last two sentences were still slashing on Mi Qi's head like lightning, making her feel creepy. She grabbed Xiong Jing's sleeve and said anxiously: "Where is our Great Chu?"
"The same is true for the Great Chu." Xiong Jing stroked his hand on his sister's hand, as if he wanted to comfort her. "The six kings are gone, the four seas are gone, and the mountains are gone." Thousands of years later, Du Mu's Afang Palace's Afang Palace fu reads in ancient tone without rhyme at all, but this is not a romantic relationship. The sentence "The six kings are gone, the four seas are gone" made Mi Qing's face bloodless.
She grabbed her sleeves tighter and said, "Brother Jing knows that there will be a way to save me, Da Chu,... Why don't you tell your father?"
"It's useless to tell my father." Xiong Jing felt cold when he thought of the anger of the King of Chu that day. "Does your father believe it? What about your faith? Qin State has Bashu, Hanzhong, and Jianghan of our Chu State. These places are all homes of fish and rice, with abundant resources. If there is food, there will be soldiers. In addition, the Qin State's military merit system, and the geographical advantage is also dangerous to Hangu Pass. Unification of the world is just around the corner..."
Xiong Jing can't remember when Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, and he doesn't know how many years it is BC, but the six kingdoms must have been destroyed by Qin Shihuang. He doesn't have much impression of Chu, but he knows nothing but Qin Shihuang's fighting drama, and he hasn't watched it all.
Twenty-two years have passed since the Battle of Changping. He Zong completely failed, and Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms was unstoppable. The only thing that comforted him was that Lu Buwei was also the prime minister of Qin. When Lu Buwei died, Qin Shihuang fully grasped the military and political power of Qin. A few years later, Li Mu died, Li Mu died and Zhao was destroyed, and then they all defeated each one.
Xiong Jing thought about this, but Mi Qi cried, and his voice became louder and louder.
"Don't cry, damn it. My brother swears that when it really comes, I will definitely protect you and your mother's mother." Xiong Jing looked at his sister, helpless and pitiful.
"What's the point of protecting me and my mother? Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the country of Chu is gone." It's fine if Xiong Jing didn't persuade him, but Mi Yu cried even more sadly. Being a Chu person, how could she be as indifferent to the survival of the Chu country like Xiong Jing?
"Yan..." Mi Yu cried louder and louder in the carriage, and Xiong Jing was speechless to persuade him.
Mi Yi cried until the palace gate. She didn't want her mother to find out that she had cried. When the car stopped at the entrance gate, she stopped crying and began to wipe her tears. At this time, the voice of questioning from outsiders came in: "What's this?"
Although the four-wheeled carriage after the carriage is novel, it is not eye-catching. What is really eye-catching is the crossbow. Although it is not assembled well, the stringed ratchets and long slide chutes all prove that this is a big killer weapon. This is also the reason why Mi Qi dared to build it when he came out of the palace talisman workshop.
"This princess..." The driver couldn't remember what the thing was called, and said, "This princess's toy ear."
"Toy?" The gangster snorted heavily, "This is a powerful crossbow. Take it from left to right!"

The eunuch who held the rituals had just left, and Tingli hurried to court again. "I dare to tell the king: Prince Jing has violated the law by making a powerful crossbow. But the prince said that this crossbow is a heavy weapon in the army and should be presented to the king. How to deal with it?"
"Sir!" The King of Chu asked why, but he didn't expect that his son had created that powerful crossbow.
"King, did Prince Jing build a powerful crossbow or a gift to the king? I'll ask him to ask him." The King of Chu was angry, and Zimo spoke quickly. He was also puzzled by Xiong Jing's behavior, so why was this son so stubborn?
"King, I heard that Prince Jing's powerful crossbow can shoot 300 steps. I, the Great Chu, do not have such a powerful crossbow, so I would like to watch it." Naojiu was the Grand Sima, and I was happy to hear Wu Ze.
"What a child says cannot be trusted." Yin Dao, the craftsman of the building house, winked at Chunshen, and immediately left the list. "Han's crossbow shot 600 steps, which is what the martyr said, cannot be trusted. If there is, the king once rewarded thousands of gold and granted three hundred households to recruit crossbowcraftsmen, how can he not come?"
"If you believe it or not, you will know it by trying it. Why not?!" Naojiu stared at Gong Yindao with his eyes straight.
"Please call the king to summon Prince Jing to court to determine whether it is illegal." Zuo Yinmeng Zhengqin also took the list. He did not care about crossbows, he only cared about the law. It was his duty to illegally build powerful crossbows, but because the crossbows were to be presented to the king, the court ruled to the king.
"Summon." The King of Chu looked complicated. When he brushed his sleeves, the gurus immediately shouted: "Summon Prince Jing to court."
"Summon Prince Jing to court..." The guru's voice came out from afar. Hundreds of officials in the court stretched their necks and turned to the door of the room, wanting to see who Prince Jing was and why he had to build a powerful crossbow privately. Among them, the officials of the founding of the king were not without worries: the king was already unhappy, and his hope of becoming a crown prince was getting smaller and smaller, and he couldn't help but regret not having communicated with Concubine Zhao in the palace early. Chunshen Jun Huang Xie, the soldiers of Huang Shang Mishang Mishang had a smile in their eyes: What kind of old children can make, summoning the court all their ugly things; Besides, privately building a powerful crossbow has violated the law of the Great Chu, and Prince Jing is afraid that he will cry and be trembling now.
Everyone looked forward to it, and after a while, Xiong Jing took the court under the guidance of the gurus. Unlike the scholars who thought, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled at the standing court officials. He finally saw the court meeting more than two thousand years ago, and the ministers were standing, only the King of Chu sat.
"The crossbow is very big, can it shoot three hundred steps?" Someone murmured in a low voice. The person standing at the door could see the silhouette of the crossbow outside and began to guess randomly.
"Hmph. It's made by children, so you can't believe it." Someone immediately shook his head and answered, and he was disdainful of the person who asked the question.
"Children pay homage to my father." According to the ceremony, Xiong Jing had already bowed before entering the room, and at this time he was just a bow. His childish voice was crisp and his manners were steady, which made the doctors' eyes look bright. "The last time the child did not understand the measurement of the Great Chu, and his words were wrong. The four-wheeled carriage was built and tried, which could carry a weight of 100 stones, which was more than 6,000 kilograms; if the powerful crossbow was built but not tried, please ask the father to let the child test the shooting and compete with the Han crossbow."
"Six thousand jin?" The King of Chu was surprised. There was also a lot of discussion in the court, and more people shook their heads.
One pound of Chu State is only 250 grams, but the pound in Xiong Jing's mouth is 500 grams. He remembered that Napoleon's four-wheeled carriage could hold 15 tons, which is 3,000 tons. The King of Chu said that "the weight of fifty stones... more than three thousand pounds" was mentioned. This was Chu jin, but in fact it was only 1,500 tons, and 0.75 tons. Xiong Jing only understood this when he built a carriage. This was also the reason why he asked the King of Chu to allow a test shooting and competed with Han Bird - he was worried that each other's understanding of step was different.
"Prince Jing thinks this is a martial arts competition?" After Xiong Jing said that, Xiang Chengjun jumped out. "Governing the court is a dynasty, not a martial arts competition. A powerful crossbow can shoot a few steps, and the king will know after the test."
"This is wrong." Naojiu looked at Huang Xie's best friend and his beard was angry. He ignored this person and said directly to the King of Chu: "Master, please try the powerful crossbow. It is really as the prince said, the benefits of the Chu army."
From the initial choice of the crown prince, to the summoning of the crown prince to the court, and now to the present test of crossbows, the development of the entire dynasty meeting was not controlled by the King of Chu and Chunshen Jun. Hearing Naojiu said, Huang Xie immediately said: "No. King, today we are discussing the matter of choosing the crown prince, not testing the strength of the crossbow..."
"If you choose to establish a eldest son, so you call a prince to court, you should listen to his words and observe his actions. Prince Jing builds a carriage and makes crossbows. This is his actions. How can he choose to establish a eldest son if he does not observe his actions? How can he choose to establish a eldest son if he does not observe his actions?" At the critical moment, Zheng Yinzi did not jump out again.
The King of Chu's eyes fell on Xiong Jing again, and the court talked about the court, and his little face was as calm as water, without any turmoil. Today, the court talked about the prince's choice, but he once again offered a carriage and crossbow... His eyes turned from Xiong Jing to Zimo, Zuo Tu Zhaoshu, Grand Sima Naojiu and others, and finally looked at the group of vassal officials standing eastward, thinking that everything was planned. But the current situation could not be carried out without trying the crossbow, and there was no way to discuss the prince's choice. Could it be that the matter of choosing to say something really needs to be decided by one's own words?
"What Zhenyin said is very much, and I dare to ask the king to try the crossbow to observe his actions." Huang Xie saw the suspicion in the eyes of the King of Chu, but he did not believe that a child with a bowed hair could create a powerful crossbow that was better than the countries in the world. Since it was difficult to ride a tiger, it would be better to try it. If it didn't work, he could just make Xiong Han the crown prince.
