Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 239, Controversy in the Court of Chu State

Chu State, Shouchun, Chu Palace.

Xiong Han, King of Chu, sits on the throne, and below are the ministers of the Chu Kingdom. Xiong Han, who is only six years old, sits on the throne. Although he is young, he has gradually gained the power of a country after he has been on the throne for a few years. The appearance of the king, at least able to sit securely on the throne.

The courtiers of the Chu State are also divided into factions. The people headed by Ling Yin and Li Yuan occupy the middle of the civil servants. Ling Yin is the highest official position in the Chu State.

Lord Changping, who ranks in Youyin, is not in the court at this time. He used the instability of the people in Yingdu area as an excuse to go to Yingdu to cooperate with Xiang Yan's entry into Shu. Youyin and Zuoyin belonged to Lingyin Official positions, the purpose of setting them up is to assist Ling Yin in handling the affairs of the entire Chu State on the one hand, and to contain Ling Yin. If it is subdivided, the right Yin is responsible for the separation of powers and government affairs, and the left Yin is responsible for military power.

The person standing behind Li Yuan is Zuo Yin. Zuo Yin is the head of the Zhao family of Qu Jingzhao's three families. Behind him is the head of the Qu family. Yes, in charge of diplomacy, you can talk about state affairs, which is equivalent to the cronies of the King of Chu. The power of Zuo disciples comes from the King of Chu, which is equivalent to the eunuchs of later generations.

Only Qu Yuan and Chunshen Jun held the position of Zuo Tu in Chu State, and they were usually appointed by the king of Chu to promote his cronies to curb Ling Yin's power.In order to win the three families of Qu Jingzhao to fight against Lord Changping together, Li Yuan exchanged the position of Zuo disciple for the friendship of the head of the Qu family.

For Li Yuan, Zuo Tu could not restrict him without the support of the King of Chu. For the Qu family, Zuo Tu was more like an honor, an honor that could stand side by side with Qu Yuan back then. Yuan joined forces to fight against Mr. Changping.

The head of the Jing family is in the ranks of military officers. The Jing family has always been the family of Qu Jingzhao's three families that controls the army. The defenders said they were the Chu army, but in fact they were all the private army of the Jing family.

"Report to Your Majesty, I want to report someone who intends to rebel!" Shangqing of Chu State came out and saluted the King of Chu.

Hearing what Shangqing said, a trace of panic and fear flashed in Chu Wang Xionghan's eyes. Although he could act like a Chu king, he was still a child. He didn't know what to do when he encountered such a thing as treason. Do it, and looked at Li Yuan with eyes asking for help.

After feeling the eyes of King Chu, Li Yuan immediately stood up and said
"Zhao Shangqing, please don't talk nonsense. The people of our country of Chu are loyal to the king of Chu, and the ministers are loyal to the king. Who would dare to rebel?"

Zhao Shangqing is a member of the Zhao family, the cousin of the head of the Zhao family, and is the Shangqing of Chu State.

"Every sentence of this subordinate is true. My younger brother is the guard of Pingxing City. A few days ago, my younger brother sent someone to send back a letter, saying that there was a large-scale transfer of troops in the barracks. Start a war? The subordinate was shocked when he first received the letter. I thought it was my younger brother talking nonsense, so I specially sent someone to investigate, and found that General Xiang Yan, who was supposed to be in Pingxing, led the Dragon Legion and 10,000+ The soldiers of a hundred battles left the barracks without authorization, and their whereabouts are unknown." Zhao Shangqing took out a memorial and raised his head and said.

After Zhao Shangqing finished speaking, the entire court began to discuss, and the members of Lord Changping and Xiang Yan's faction glared at Zhao Shangqing one by one.

"Shangqing don't want to frame good people. General Xiang Yan is loyal to the state of Chu. How could he deploy troops without authorization?" Xiang Ming said angrily at Zhao Shangqing. He is responsible for the management of daily handicraft workshops in Chu State.

"Is it true or not? Let Your Majesty see the results of my minister's investigation. If Your Majesty does not believe it, you can send someone to Pingxing Camp to check and see how many troops are left?" Zhao Shangqing directly rebuked Xiang Yang without fear.

Before the King of Chu Xiong Han gave an order, Li Yuan directly picked up the investigation results and checked it. Li Yuan looked at the memorial with a serious expression, and the courtiers all turned their attention to Li Yuan, watching Li Yuan's face change from calm to turned to anger.

"Isn't this Yanmo trying to rebel!?" Li Yuan cursed loudly in court.

"Lord Ling Yin, please don't get angry. Whether this matter is true or not should be decided by the king." Another official came out and said, who came to face Li Yuan.

Seeing the person standing up, Li Yuan held back the anger in his heart, and handed over the memorial to King Chu's attendant.The person who spoke was Sibai of the royal family of Chu, Mi Yan, the surname of Mi is the royal family of Chu, the king of Chu of Chu is the surname Xiong, only the successive kings of Chu can use the surname Xiong, the royal family of Chu is the surname Mi , that is, a member of the clan, and Mi Yan is the head of the clan with the surname Mi, that is, the Da Zongzheng of the clan.

Although Li Yuan is arrogant and domineering, and he is not afraid of the three families of Qu Jingzhao, but facing Mi Yan, a member of the royal family, he is still at a disadvantage. Li Yuan's power comes from the king of Chu, Xionghan, and a large part of the power of the king of Chu comes from Chu. With the support of the royal family, Li Yuan did not dare to offend Mi Yan.

The attendant handed the memorial to King Chu Xiong Han, but what can a child under ten years old understand? Xiong Han can't even read the words on it, but King Chu Xiong Han still pretended to be serious and looked at the memorial and said
"Is what Zhao Shangqing said true?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can send people to investigate. I'm afraid that Xiang Yan will lead the army to make trouble." Zhaoshang said in a deep voice, with panic and impatience in his words, it sounds like the matter has reached the point of impatient.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to what the traitors say. General Xiang Yan is loyal to the Chu Kingdom and the King. How could he lead the army to make trouble? This must be some youngsters wantonly attacking and framing the General while he is not in the court." Mi Fan stood up and said.

Mi Fan is also a member of the royal family of Chu. Unlike Mi Yan's neutrality, he took refuge in Lord Changping.Mi Fan thinks that the treacherous ministers in the court of Chu State are in power, and the status of the king of Chu is still questionable, and now he needs someone with means and prestige to revive the court.Lord Changping is also a member of the royal family, and his identity is innocent, so after Lord Changping entered Chu, Mi Fan decisively led some people to join Lord Changping. This is one of the reasons why Lord Changping was able to quickly gain a firm foothold in Chu.

Seeing Mi Fan start to speak for Xiang Yan, Changping Jun and Xiang Yan's people all stood up and called for grievances, and at the same time demanded that Zhao Shangqing be severely punished.Watching Zhao Shangqing being besieged, the head of the Zhao family of Qu Jingzhao's three families stood up and said

"Xinzao Yin's words are different. Since Zhao Shangqing dared to say this, there must be a basis for it. How dare he frame the general for nothing? Why are you so excited?" After the head of the Zhao family said this sentence.

Everyone in the court understood that this was the joint attack of Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao's family on Changping Jun and Xiang Yan.People from Qu Jingzhao and Li Yuan also began to stand up and quarrel with Lord Changping and Xiang Yan. Facing the increasingly noisy court, King Chu Xionghan seemed extremely helpless. During his years in power, Li Yuan has always controlled the government, and the Queen Mother Li Huan listened to the government behind the curtain. He only needs to sleep on the throne or sit in a daze.

Today Li Huan didn't come to court because of the cold, and Xiong Han, who was alone, was immediately at a loss. Looking at the minister below who was blushing and thick-necked, Xiong Han immediately burst into tears.

The cries of the King of Chu Xionghan immediately attracted the attention of the entire court, and the ministers did not dare to argue anymore, and returned to their positions one by one to salute the King of Chu and said
"My lord is guilty!"

"Wow~ Let this matter be handled by Ling Yin!!" King Chu Xionghan cried and said.

Li Yuan looked at the servant of King Chu Xiong Han. The servant immediately understood, picked up Xiong Han and left the throne, and walked towards the harem. When the servant left, he said

"Your Majesty has an order to let Sir Ling Yin handle this matter, and after a decision is made, the court will be dispersed!"

After King Chu Xionghan left, the entire court fell into a strange calm again, Li Yuan stepped forward and looked at the courtiers and said
"Your Majesty entrusted this matter to me, so please stop arguing like this. This is the result of Zhao Shangqing's investigation. Listen to it."

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he signaled the waiter next to the throne to read out the content of the memorial. After the waiter read out, the entire courtroom continued to remain silent, and Mi Fan and Xiang Ming lowered their heads to think about something.

"This matter is just what Zhao Shangqing said. I will send someone to investigate the specific matter. Before the results come out, it is best for Gong Yin to stay at home and let the entire Xiang family calm down. Don't walk around randomly. It is." Li Yuan looked at Xiang Ming and said.

"The general is loyal to the state of Chu, and my Xiang family has a clear conscience." Xiang Ming said, he didn't believe that Xiang Yan would really do something like mobilizing troops without authorization and intending to rebel, and even if he did, he would send someone to inform Xiang family, so as to mobilize the power of the Xiang family in the whole country, so that the chance of success in rebellion will be the greatest.

As soon as Xiang Yang recognized it, the gate of Chu Palace was pushed open, and a soldier ran desperately, shouting while running.

"Urgent military situation! Urgent military situation!"

Hearing that it was an urgent military situation, the gates of the palace opened one after another along the way, allowing the soldiers to enter the palace.

"Master Ling Yin, there is an urgent military situation ahead!!" A guard walked into the hall and said.

"Bring it up." Li Yuan gave Xiang Yang and Mi Fan a sad look.

Seeing Li Yuan's eyes, Xiang Yan and Mi Fan immediately felt that something was wrong. The ministers who didn't know the inside information also started talking in low voices. As the soldiers went up to the palace, everyone's eyes were on the soldiers. .

"Greetings to Master Ling Yin, there is an urgent military situation ahead." Said the soldier panting heavily.

"What military situation, read it directly!" Li Yuan said.

The soldier hesitated, but seeing Li Yuan's expression, he still opened the box, opened the scroll inside and said
"General Xiang Yan joined forces with Lord Changping to mobilize 17 troops in Pingxing, and secretly dispatched troops to attack Qin. Duanhe attacked Pingxing, and the Pingxing defender asked for help!"

As soon as the soldier's words fell, the whole court was shocked. They didn't expect Xiang Yan to lead an army of 17 to leave his post without authorization. They didn't even expect Xiang Yan to lead troops to attack Qin and wiped out the whole army. This is the state of Chu. Nearly half of the army was said to be elite. For a moment, everyone glared at Xiang Ming and Mi Fan.

　Brothers, it turned out that it was not a power outage, it was because the switch of my home appliance failed.
