Chapter 212: With a Sharp Blade and Righteousness, Can You Make Money without Doing Anything?

Jingchou looked at Chu Wanghan in shock: "Thirty percent?"

Li Yuan smiled and cupped his hands: "I am Wang Rende!"

"Looking around the world, there is no such rich reward!"

Jingchou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, 30% is too little."

Li Yuan's smile instantly faded, and his voice turned solemn: "The king's order has been issued, does Jing Mo Ao intend to disobey the king's order?"

"Could it be that Jing Mo Ao's generous words just now were not for Da Chu at all, but just for his own selfish interests?"

"If Jing Mo Ao only sent troops for personal gain this time, then Jing Mo Ao can say it bluntly, how can he disobey the king's order after the king's order has been issued!"

Li Yuan raised his voice and said generously: "Looking around the world, is there anyone who rewards me as generously as my king?"

"How can Jing Mo Ao be so greedy!"

Jingchou immediately said: "I am definitely not greedy!"

"Since the monarch's private soldiers are the main force for this battle, the majority of the gains from this battle should be shared by the monarch."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be unfair to reward and punish?"

Li Yuan asked, "Isn't Jing Mo Ao a minister of Chu?"

"Isn't it Jing's responsibility to share the worries of Da Chu?"

Jingchou immediately refuted: "Why did your Majesty Yin insult my Jing family!"

"Jing Shi should share the worries of the king, and I am also a minister of Chu."

"But I can't bear to see such an unfair move!"

Li Yuan said quietly: "In that case, Jing can withdraw his troops."

With one sentence, Jingchou was forced into a corner.

Jingchou looked around at Zhao Yuan and other leaders of the major nobles, hoping to get their support.

It's a pity that Zhaoyuan and others are looking at the eyes and nose, and the nose is watching the heart, and are indifferent.

From the beginning, Li Yuan used retreat as advance and advocated not sending troops.

Faced with huge profits, Jingchou and other manpower leaders sent troops and were willing to use their own private soldiers.

Now if a group of nobles stopped sending troops because of insufficient benefits, then Li Yuan would probably take advantage of the situation and directly cancel the sending of troops.

Anyway, the land acquired belonged to Chu State, not Li Yuan himself.

As a result, you can't even get the three ingredients of profit!

Whether to earn nothing or earn less, all the nobles have a weighing scale in their minds.

Seeing that no one supported him, Jingchou sighed in his heart and had to hand over his hand: "I will again advise the king to take back the decree and give him a fairer distribution of profits."

"Of course, no matter what decision the king makes, the Jing family will always support the king!"

The King of Chu nodded vigorously: "In that case, I would like to ask you all to prepare for the expedition and set off as soon as possible!"

King Chu Han directly ignored Jing Chou's previous sentence.

All the powerful people were angry, but they could only surrender: "Wei!"

The war is about to begin, and everything is complicated.

After more than three hours of debate and coordination, the Chu monarchs and ministers finally agreed on the details of the expedition.

After the ministers left Shouchun Palace, King Chu Han sighed helplessly: "Even though something that is so beneficial to our great Chu state, we still have to argue for so long."

"How can I, the great Chu, have a future?"

"When can I, the Great Chu, gather all my power into one fist!"

The State of Chu is an absolute established power, and its current hard power is not inferior to that of the State of Qin.

It is a pity that the power of Chu State is very scattered. It is impossible for King Chu Han to mobilize all the power of Chu State, and he will even be involved and forced by internal forces.

Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Many kings of Chu want to change and suppress the powerful people in the country."

"However, they all ended in failure, and even ended in death."

"I believe that if we want to consolidate the strength of Chu State, we must not be in a hurry."

"Continuously recruit talented people from various countries into the court, gradually weakening the power and influence of the nobles. Only when the king can control enough authority can changes be carried out, otherwise..."

Li Yuan's expression was serious: "I'm afraid that Chu's mourning for the king will happen again!"

The King of Chu nodded fiercely and said, "I know this."

"I just want to wrong my uncle!"

Li Yuan smiled warmly: "Since I am the king's uncle, how can I not work hard for the king!"

"The current battle is an opportunity. I will take this opportunity to deploy generals to strengthen our Chu army and accumulate the strength for the king to fight against the princes!"

As the uncle of King Han of Chu and not from a noble family in Chu, Li Yuan's current interests are completely consistent with those of King Han of Chu.

Only by eradicating the existing aristocratic group in Chu State can Chu King Han take power, and Li Yuan can...become the new aristocrat of Chu State!

the other side.

After leaving Shouchun Palace, the ministers went their separate ways, but soon gathered at Qu's mansion.

Jingchou angrily slapped the table: "This battle is dominated by private soldiers like us, and only more than 20% of the regular army."

"As a result, the territory gained from this battle will be divided into 70 and 70."

"How unfair!"

Zhaoyuan also said angrily: "Seventy percent belongs to the king, and getting 30% depends on the king's face!"

Jingchou became even more angry: "On weekdays, we use the food we get from the towns to support the soldiers and help Dachu defend the border."

"I am waiting for this battle to send more than 200,000 troops to fight for Chu."

"We are still the foundation and pillars of Da Chu."

"If you can get 30% of what you get, you still have to look at the king's face?"

"Aren't we like that beggar kneeling down asking for money?!"

"Why don't you dare to speak out to the king?"

Qu Huan said quietly: "The situation is like this, what's the use of being angry again?"

"Even this 30% is hard-earned!"

"If Brother Jing can't bear this grievance, then you should quickly return to your ancestral land and live with the food you have."

"As a minister, you can obtain three elements of nourishment and not be shabby."

They sent private soldiers to participate in the national war, but as a result, 30% of the results of the national war were divided into their private fiefdoms.

This kind of treatment in any other country would make their princes crazy with joy!

If it were in Qin, the feudal lords such as Ying Chengjiao would not hesitate to think that Ying Zheng was joking.

Pies don't fall from the sky like this!

But in Chu, such profit sharing is an insult to the princes.

Because the national system of Chu is different from the systems of the existing heroes.

The relationship between the royal family of Chu and the princes of Chu is more like the relationship between the royal family of Zhou and the vassal states.

If Qin sent troops to conquer a piece of territory from the Xiongnu, but the royal family of Zhou asked for 70% of the victory, would Qin be happy?

Qin would definitely draw its sword directly against the royal family of Zhou!

Jing Chou also drew out his sword and slapped it on the table: "With the sharpness of my Jing family sword, can you stand and ask for fairness from the king?!"

Qu Huan sneered: "Want to stand and ask for fairness?"

"With the Jing family sword, you can get more rewards, but you still have to kneel!"

"Otherwise, the souls of more than 70 nobles will be staring at you in the underworld!"

In the past, the powerful people of Chu State poisoned King Chu Mourning and shot Wu Qi.

Before his death, Wu Qi pulled out the arrows from his body and inserted them into the corpse of King Chu Mourning, shouting "The ministers rebelled and murdered my king"!

Even if the nobles of Chu State were so arrogant that they assassinated King Chu Mourning and killed Wu Qi openly.

But the nobles of Chu State still could not change the righteousness and rules.

After Wu Qi's death, more than 70 nobles, direct or collateral, were exterminated because of the "rebellion and regicide" crimes fabricated by Wu Qi, and thousands of old nobles were killed.

It was that massacre that broke the bones of the Dou family, Cheng family and other families, and the largest family, the Qu family, was devastated, which gave the Jing and Zhao families the opportunity to annex other families and dominate the Chu State together with the Qu family!

Jingchou slammed the table again: "What if the king is included?!"

Qu Huan shook his head: "The king cannot support us."

"On the surface, it is Li Yuan who is targeting us, and the king is just a puppet of Li Yuan."

"But in fact, the king and Li Yuan have the same goal."

Jingchou said in a deep voice: "I am not talking about the current king."

"But the princes!"

"With a sharp blade and righteousness, can we make money without standing?!"

Zhao Yuan suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Jingchou in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"

Jingchou said hatefully: "The king's intention is obvious. If we wait for the king to erode our power, it will be difficult to turn over in the future!"

"In this case, why not choose a prince who can allow you and me to stand and ask for fairness to support him and let him be the king!"

Qu Huan and Zhao Yuan did not scold Jingchou.

Because killing the king has been done many times by the Chu nobles, and it has been successful many times.

But no matter whether it succeeds or not, every regicide is accompanied by huge casualties!

But now, has it come to the point where we have to change the king of Chu even if we suffer heavy casualties?

After a while, Zhao Yuan stood up and bowed: "The time has not come yet. The war is approaching. I should return to my fiefdom first and organize the expedition."

Qu Huan nodded slightly: "Brother Zhao is right. The war is approaching, and all affairs should give way to the war!"

"Brother Jing, go back and prepare first."

Jing Chou bowed to the two of them and said in a deep voice: "What Jing said is from the bottom of my heart. Please think about it, brothers!"

After speaking, Jing Chou and Zhao Yuan said goodbye and left.

The main hall fell into silence, and then the sound of steady footsteps was heard again.

A middle-aged man came out of the side hall with a smile on his face: "I never thought that the nobles would be so resentful of the king!"

Qu Huan stood up and bowed: "Greetings, sir!"

"I see the attitude of the Jing family and think that today is not a good time to introduce you. It would be more appropriate to introduce you after this battle."

"So I didn't invite you out, sir. Please don't blame me!"

The one who had been waiting in the side hall was none other than the half-brother of King Han of Chu, Prince Fuchu!

Xiong Fuchu smiled gently: "No problem."

"I never thought that Qin would bring me such a good opportunity!"

"I would like to see if my brother will really accept 70% of the territory gained in this battle."

Now that the war is at hand, all clans are looking at the expected future gains, and their mood is generally excited.

But when the gains are in their pockets, they have to watch 70% of the territory won in this battle be divided with the King of Chu. Can they still feel good?

They will only be more angry than getting nothing!

Qu Huan said faintly: "Looking at the attitude of the king and Li Lingyin, I think it must be so."

Xiong Fuchu shook his head: "As a king, how can you win the hearts of the people if you are so greedy!"

"If you allow your brother to continue to cut off his own arms, our Great Chu will be in danger!"

Xiong Fuchu and King Han of Chu have completely different views.

King Han of Chu believes that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal affairs. Only by suppressing the many nobles in Chu can the future Chu become strong.

But Xiong Fuchu believes that the current situation is chaotic and the Great Chu does not have so much time to clean up the internal affairs.

If we don't unite all the forces that can be united to attack the outside world, Chu may have no future at all!

Qu Huan also sighed: "It's a pity that the king doesn't understand this truth."

"The foreign enemies are getting stronger, but the king's eyes are always on us."

Xiong Fuchu said in a deep voice: "My brother doesn't understand, but I must understand."

"Please ask the Qu family to send elite troops to fight and do everything possible to weaken the Qin State!"

Qu Huan immediately bowed: "Yes!"

About the life experience of King Han of Chu and the death of Chunshen Jun (continued)

2. According to archaeological discoveries in the tomb of King You of Chu, Xiong Han was born in 268 BC, when King Kaolie of Chu was a hostage in Qin State. He still had five years to go before he could return to Chu State to inherit the throne. His situation was similar to that of King Zhuangxiang, and he did not need to consider the issue of succession at all. Moreover, Xiong Fuchu was born in 265 BC, and his mother was not Li Huan. At this time, King Kaolie of Chu was still a hostage. Even if King Kaolie of Chu considered the issue of succession in advance, he could have privately killed Xiong Han after Xiong Fuchu was born and made Xiong Fuchu his eldest son. However, King Kaolie of Chu did not do so, which was unreasonable.

(3. Taishigong only said that Chunshenjun was Xiong Han's father in "Chunshenjun Biography", and all the historical materials that adopted this view did not make up the wild fathers of Xiong You, Xiong Fuchu and Xiong Qi. If this setting is adopted, Cheese needs to make up wild fathers for Xiong You, Xiong Fuchu and Xiong Qi, and then make up the basis for their ascending the throne, and also make up the power to support them. Cheese can't do it!)

Combining the above considerations, Xiong Han is set as the biological son of King Kaolie of Chu in this book.

But as a result, the basic theoretical support for Li Yuan's ambush and killing Chunshenjun no longer exists!

So Cheese abandoned the record of Chunshenjun's death in "Historical Records", and Chunshenjun's later years were based on the "Yue Jue Shu", which is known as the ancestor of local chronicles, and then expanded.

The free word limit has been reached again, and Cheese will not list more theoretical basis. This dry information is also tiring for everyone to read.

If there is any error in the research on cheese, please feel free to comment and correct me! Thank you!
