Chapter 31 Military Academy

Xiong Yuan finally discovered that his son was innocent. His son thought that brothers could be united, but he knew very well why "I can only be "I". For the sake of royal power, father and son killed each other, brothers killed each other, and turned against each other... This kind of thing is not uncommon for other countries, even Chu State.

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, all of the nations killed monarchs, all for the sake of royal power. Now the countries that established the country at the same time as the King of Chu have divided Jin, and the Tian family replaced Qi, and only the royal power of Yan is still in the hands of the royal family. Yan State is too remote. The reason why the royal power of Chu has been maintained until now has not been divided by the nobles and has not been replaced by the different surnames is because the ancestors guarded it early and restricted it.

Xiong Yuan went from warning his son not to traumatize each other to worry that his son would be traumatized by his brothers. He hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Who is Jing'er who thinks the county magistrate is?"

"I thought the county Yin and the county lords were all my great Chu clans." Xiong Jing had heard of some things in the school and also saw some things himself, so he had this feeling: the prince was a prince, and the county lord was a noble clan. The two were checked and balanced at first, but later they gradually became unbalanced.

"No." Xiong Yuan shook his head. "The county magistrates are also mostly dukes. The state of Chu was said to have been in chaos since the time of King Wu, and there were many people who killed the king and destroyed the country. The countries had no time to look south. King Wu had to fight in all directions. All the people who rely on were dukes. Ruoao, the Qian family, the Shen Yin family, the Qu family, and the Lu family were appointed as generals, and they were also county magistrates. The power was strong for a while and wealth could rival the country. When King Xian became king, the Ruoao family was dissatisfied. At the time of King Xianzhuang, the Ruoao family rebelled, and the Duke family was defeated, and the Daxian County Yin Fang was appointed as the prince and the grandson of the prince."

Xiong Yuan talked about the past of Chu. In fact, this country was not conquered by the royal family, but by the entire princes. When King Wu of Chu was about to set up counties, the people of the princes were appointed. As a result, the princes became bigger and the royal power declined. The reason why King Zhuang of Chu wanted to not fly for three years and not yelled for three years was that his husbands were wary of.

"When King Dao first came, Wu Qi reformed his orders and wanted to seize the title of the king. After King Dao first died, he enfeoffed the king and killed Wu Qi. Wu Qi was cunning and buried the king's corpse and killed everyone in Li's army. He enfeoffed the king and killed more than 70 families. Sixty years ago, the battle of Chusha was launched, and Bai Qi was defeated forty years ago. The western land was lost. There were only twenty-one remaining in the throne, and there were many wild places. The king could no longer control the county magistrate."

It is truly worthy of being the State of Chu where "the inner surname is chosen by relatives and the outer surname is chosen by old people". The entire country is a prince and grandson. The difference is that some can be traced before the establishment of the State of Chu, such as Ruoao, and some are the grandfather King Qingxiang, and Huang Xie. But it does not mean that there are no nobles in the different surnames. For example, Xiang Gong, the Yin of Xiang County, whom Xiong Jing paid attention to, is not a public clan.

Xiong Jing probably remembered Qin Shihuang, Lu Buwei, Lao Ai, Li Si, Zhao Gao, Fusu, Hu Hai, Xu Fu, Li Mu, Xiang Yan, most of them were figures in the Qin State, and other countries were Li Mu of Zhao State and Xiang Yan of Chu State. During the late Qin Dynasty, the Chu and Han Dynasty battles, of course, they knew the famous Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Yu Ji, Xiang Zhuang, and finally the Han generals: Liu Bang, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Cao Shen, Han Xin, Fan Kuai, and Lu Zhi.

Later generations just look at history and never think about it carefully. Now that I am in the scene, I found that there was only one Xiang Yan when the Chu State was destroyed. When Qin was destroyed, there were only Xiang Yu, Xiang Zhuang, and 8,000 Jiangdong children. Where did the Duke of Chu State go? If most of the Duke of Chu State were killed after the destruction of the country, and those who survived moved to Xianyang, why was there only Xiang Yan, a general with a foreign surname when the destruction of the country?

According to the practice of Chu, there is no precedent for foreign generals to lead the army. If it were not for the missing persons known to later generations, it must be that the Duke of Chu had become so weak that no one could lead the army to fight.

"Father, why did the princely clan work together when King Wu was the first to work together, but now he can't?" Xiong Jing asked when he thought of this matter again.

This question left Xiong Yuan speechless. After the Ao family rebelled, there was still the rebellion of Bai Gongsheng. The five sons of the Communist Party of China were killed by each other. In the end, the five sons Qiji Fisherman gained profits and ascended the throne as king, which was King Ping of Chu. Ping Wang was deceitful, and for this reason, he did not believe anyone. The favorite minister Fei Wuji accused the prince Jian of the prince Jian and the prince's tutor Wu She to rebel. The prince Jian believed it, and the prince Jian fled to Zheng. The Wu She family was killed, but his second son Wu Yuan escaped.

The prince Jian fled to Zheng Houping and appointed Prince Ren, who was the King of Chu Zhao. At this time, Wu Yuan served in Wu and helped King Guang of Wu to govern the country and reorganize the army. He also invited Sun Wuzi, a military master, to avenge his father. In the tenth year of King Zhao, the Wu army attacked Chu, and the Chu army was defeated in Baiju, and the Wu army then entered Ying.

After King Zhao of Chu died, King Hui ascended the throne. Previously, the crown prince Jian had been killed by the people of Zheng. After his son Sheng returned to the country, his son was granted the title of Baicheng, which was Bai Gongsheng. In the tenth year of King Hui, because the Chu State had a alliance with Zheng, Bai Gongsheng entered Ying to kill the son Shen of the Yin Yin, and imprisoned King Hui. He was defeated and went into the mountain to hang himself, and his descendants scattered. After all, the husband's clan was no longer believed by the royal family, and the subsequent princes were all new royal family.

Although Xiong Yuan knew the old stories of the previous kings, it was difficult to sort out the reason why the 'Why did the princes work together when King Xianwu were together, but now it cannot't'. Seeing this, Xiong Jing said again: "I dare to ask my father, the country is coming soon, and if you don't believe in the relatives of the clan, who do you want to believe in?"

"Aristocratic tribes and public tribes are all weak, and no one can be used for anyone." The safety of the royal family is one thing, and the national crisis is another. From the standpoint of the national crisis, Xiong Yuan finally answered according to his son's ideas. Unfortunately, no one can be used for either the public or the aristocratic tribe (husband tribe).

"Is this true?" Xiong Jing did not fully understand the situation of the public and aristocratic tribes, but from the perspective of only Xiang Yan's passing on the country when the country was destroyed, maybe no one could use it.

"That's right." Xiong Yuan nodded. "He Zong was defeated, and Jing Yang hanged himself at the foot of Zijin Mountain. The generals in the army followed the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial

"Lian Po?" Of course, Lian Po, Xiong Jing, who was carrying the thorns and apologizing for guilt, knew that he almost became the Grand Marshal of Chu.

"Zi Xie had ten thousand guests. Lian Po was the prime minister of Zhao first. King Xiaocheng of Zhao died. The new king was dismissed and fled to Wei. He lived in Wei for several years and was not allowed to use it. Zi Xie Ying entered Chu, and originally wanted to be the general of Hezong, but King Zhao refused."

"Master, where is Lian Po now?" Xiong Jing, with expectation, might be able to see one of the four major generals of the Warring States Period.

"Pu is a son who stays at the disciples and lives in Ying." Xiong Yuan didn't know that his son admired Lian Po.

"Father, there is no one available to the prince's clan. I visited the Lantai Academy and taught people to be wise and polite, but I did not practice military tactics. Since Chu has a good relationship with the four countries of Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan, why not invite the four countries to fight into Chu and then set up a military academy in Yingdu. The children of the prince and husband's clan are all in the school? The generals of Zhao can teach cavalry and shooting, the generals of Han and Wei can teach guarding the city, the generals of our Chu can teach formation battles, Lian Po, and the generals of the prince can teach generals and soldiers and strategies..."

Of course, the military academy is a great weapon of killing in this era, and excellent officers are the real backbone of the army. When Xiong Jing was enthusiastically describing how the military academy was, Xiong Yuan interrupted: "Since ancient times, the art of military sects has not been passed down, and it is mostly taught by word of mouth. How can there be an example of teaching the princes? The princes know how to fight, and the Chu State is in chaos!"

When the father opposed it, Xiong Jing quickly said, "When King Wu was the first to be a king, did the princely clan know how to fight. Is the Chu State in chaos?"

Xiong Yuan was stunned and did not answer. Xiong Jing asked again: "Beware of the fact that the prince tribe is worse than to get close to the prince tribe. The king's orders are given to God and the throne is passed down from the previous kings. Who dares to take it? If someone takes it, the culprits are not afraid of having a descendant? Taking famous generals from various countries as their teachers, and the princes of the noble tribes enter the school as their school. They will be classmates, and their brothers and sisters are in love. In the future, they will reward merits and punish them for crimes. Who dares to do unjust things?

The lushness of a tree lies in the branches, not the torso; the strength of a country lies in the princes and the nobles, not the lonely family. In the past, Duke Xian of Jin killed a group of princes, but six ministers were dictatorial and Jin divided into three. The Qin Dynasty broke out and the national crisis of Chu was imminent. Only by the relatives of the princes can one fight with Qin. Otherwise, beware of the princes and stay away from the family, and the day of defeat is not far away."

Xiong Yuan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, and seemed to be just pretending to sleep.

What his son said was completely different from the secret teachings of the Wang family that he learned after becoming the crown prince.

In view of the previous car, the first thing that a king should be wary of is his brothers. Although they will not be killed, they should also be blocked away. In addition, they should be wary of those common people. If the common people gain power, they will rebel and usurp the throne and become kings like Ruoao. The ministers in the court should not believe them all. The best way is to prompt the two factions to fight each other and balance each other; the people of the country should not believe them all, but if the ministers fail to check and balance, one person can dominate them, the people of the country can slander them...

In short, if the public clan, subordinates, and people do not fight in internal struggle, they will unite to restrain the king. They will provoke one group to fight another. After the tragedy, they will preside over justice for the weak side and help them avenge them. As a result, both sides are weakened, and the king will always dominate the king. Everyone will praise the wise and wise king. Although the three Legalists, law, art, and power, the Chu State reform was not successful, but the King of Chu may not not learn the skills and the power of the Legalists, and may not be used.

‘The son is young and his ideas are too naive…; the son is the holy king, and God will be favored by him…’

Xiong Yuan closed his eyes, and two thoughts fought in his mind, and no one could convince anyone. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "This matter may be discussed with Zi Xie. He is familiar with Zhao State and is also his disciple."

"Ye." Xiong Jing thought his father would not agree, but he did not expect that he asked him to discuss with Huang Xie.

"The relatives need to be kissed, and the relatives need to be guarded." The King of Chu moved his lips and said this.

"Thank you for your advice," Xiong Jing bowed, "I hope my father's illness can be cured and help him revive Chu State."

Xiong Yuan smiled, "The father has been in the underworld for a short time, and the Chu country will be defeated by you."

"I am afraid that the ministers will not accept it." Xiong Jing said seriously, "Only when the father is in power, he can eliminate the ills of politics, carry out reforms, and promote the great Chu, the country can be strengthened forever. Now the child has tried a medicine, which may alleviate the father's heart disease."
