    Xiangyang, the capital of the King of Chu.

    It¡¯s just that the capital of the King of Chu seems a bit chaotic now, because news has been sent back from the front line that the King of Chu was defeated at the border of Xunyang County, Lujiang County, and returned to Qichun County to guard.

    This news caused the entire royal capital to be in turmoil, with countless people having different thoughts.

    Imperial City, inside the East Palace.

    Nowadays, the Chu State has established a candidate for the crown prince.  The current crown prince of Chu State is named Xiong Zhuang, and he is the fifth prince of Chu State.  His current age is only in his early twenties.

    In the past, Xiong Village seemed very ordinary among the princes, nothing special.  Even Xiong Huai appointed Xiong Zhuang as the crown prince of Chu State because compared to other princes, Xiong Zhuang was the most down-to-earth in his duties.

    The rest of the people are either unruly or stubborn.  However, after Xiong Zhuang became the prince, he was quite wise, down-to-earth and diligent, and respected the wise men. He gradually gained the support of the courtiers, and was praised by the civil servants of the Chu State, who believed that the Chu State had a successor.

    The people in Xiongzhuang are not only down-to-earth in their duties, but also courageous.  What he determined was carried out meticulously.  It is precisely in this way that he can be recognized by the courtiers and Xiong Huai.

    Xiong Zhuang is sitting in the main hall now, with a sad look on his face, because he also got the news of the defeat of King Chu on the front line.

    Xiong Zhuang looked at a middle-aged man below and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei, the situation is not good this time. My father retreated to Qichun County on the front line. What should we do?"

    "I summoned the courtiers to discuss this matter for two or three days. They argued endlessly and made it a mess without any results. In fact, some courtiers already wanted to surrender directly."

    "These people really deserve to die."

    Xiong Zhuang said: "The imperial court raised them, but in the end, they all surrendered."

    The middle-aged man¡¯s name is Wei Xi, he is the Prince of the East Palace, Xima, and he can also be regarded as the counselor of Xiongzhuang.

    Wei Xi stroked his beard under his chin and said slowly: "Your Highness, the current situation is quite unfavorable. The Chu army collapsed on the front line. The only thing we can do now, in fact, is to recruit soldiers again and arrange people  Send him to the front line and join the king in resisting the Qi army."

    Xiong Zhuang shook his head and said: "I have also considered this matter and discussed it with the court officials. However, the ministers in the court and the central government pushed back one by one, saying that recruiting people requires a lot of money and there is not enough time. These people are all looking for excuses.  .¡±

    Wei Xi said: "His Royal Highness, now that things have come to this, we cannot refuse to recruit troops just because it is too late. Your Majesty is resisting in Qichun County with few troops. Once your Majesty is allowed to be trapped, you will not be able to hold it for a long time. So.  We must be quick at the moment. As for the buck-passing situation between the DPRK and China, His Highness the Crown Prince should make a decision."

    Xiong Zhuang frowned slightly when he heard Wei Xi's words. He understood what Wei Xi meant.

    Let him not always be a good person.

    Being a good person can only make peace with others, and it is impossible to make everyone obey.  Once something happens, these people will shirk and disobey orders.  When necessary, thunderous measures must be taken.

    Xiong Zhuang said solemnly: "Mr. Wei, I have no objection to using thunderous means to suppress the court. However, I am worried that if this situation is adopted, it will easily cause a shock to the court. The shock to the court may affect the frontline battlefield."

    "Wrong, very wrong!"

    Wei Xi shook his head with a look of disapproval.

    He was originally sitting, but now he stood up with excitement and said loudly: "Your Highness, if the court continues to push the envelope like this, it will inevitably lead to defeat on the front line."

    "Because there is no one on the front line to come to the rescue, the king fights alone and is ultimately defeated. Now, thunderous measures must be taken. Furthermore, the prince is the candidate appointed by the king to supervise the country. If the king orders you to supervise the country, then everything in the court will be  The prince has the final say.¡±

    "So now, as long as it is beneficial to Chu State, the prince can boldly do it. Everything is for Chu State. Even if he kills, so what?"

    Wei Xi¡¯s attitude was extremely tough.

    Because when it¡¯s time to resort to thunderbolt measures, you must resort to thunderbolt measures.

    Xiong Zhuang was originally a hardliner, but after hearing Wei Xi's words, he became completely determined, without any hesitation.

    Xiong Zhuang nodded and said: "Mr. Wei, I already know what to do. This time, I will go crazy for once. Even if I bear the infamy, even if the court is full of opposition, I will never look back. My father is the lord of the Chu Kingdom. He guards the country and resists the Qi Dynasty.  The country. Now that I have been ordered by my father to supervise the country, I will die in the country, and I will be ruined, no matter what."

    Wei Xi said: "The prince is righteous."

    Xiong Zhuang laughed at himself and said: "Actually, this is my duty?The people from Heilongtai are now on an envoy to the Chu Kingdom under the orders of the Little Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are going to go on an envoy to see Wang Qi next.  Logically speaking, as a person from Heilongtai, he is not suitable to be an envoy.

    The little emperor arranged it, Jiang Jiuge had no choice.

    After Jiang Jiuge saw Xiong Zhuang, he bowed and said, "Jiang Jiuge of the Great Zhou Dynasty has met the prince."

    Xiong Zhuang said: "What do you want?"

    Jiang Jiuge replied: "I am coming down here to facilitate a truce between Chu and Qi. News of King Qi's defeat of King Chu has reached Chang'an. After learning about it, His Majesty, the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty, specially sent me to promote a truce between the two sides.  One thing. Of course, the premise is that Chu State will give Qi State enough benefits, so I will go to see Wang Qi and ask Wang Qi to withdraw his troops."

    After Xiong Zhuang heard this, he sneered and said: "I didn't expect that the emperor of Zhou was so lenient that he would even interfere in the affairs of Chu State. But this time, the emperor of Zhou has such childishness, so I accepted it.  .¡±

    After a pause, Xiong Zhuang said: "Jiang Jiuge, remember this. No matter what the situation is, I will fight to the end. It is impossible for Chu State to submit to Wang Qi. You go to see Wang Qi, as long as Wang Qi is willing to have a truce,  The State of Chu ceded Jiangxia County to the State of Qi. Is this condition enough?"

    Under the current situation, Xiong Zhuang did not think that Wang Qi would succumb to the emperor's order.

    It would be impossible for anyone to agree.

    So Xiong Zhuang gave a straightforward reply, saying that he was willing to cede Jiangxia County.  If Chu State can temporarily cede Jiangxia County to protect Chu State, it is definitely worth a try.

    Jiang Jiuge praised: "I think the conditions of the Prince of Chu are good. But in addition, he also needs to provide financial compensation, at least one million taels of silver, so I can give it a try."

    Xiong Zhuang said: "You can give it a try."

    Jiang Jiuge said with a smile: "Then, I will go to see Wang Qi and ask the prince to be ready. Once King Qi agrees, we will prepare to cede Jiangxia County."

    Xiong Zhuang said: "Of course it should be."

    "Farewell!"

    Jiang Jiuge stood up and left directly.

    Xiong Zhuang's eyes gradually became sharper, and he said in a deep voice: "Priest Shadana, Mr. Wei, we will now meet with the people in the court. This time, we will rely on the two of us for assistance. As for Jiang Jiuge, don't worry about it.  , because I think there is little hope. We have to rely on ourselves for all this."

    Sha Tuna said: "I, Manshen Sect and Wuxi Erlang, will do our best to help."

    Wei sarcastically said: "This is what I should do."

    Xiong Zhuang no longer wasted any time, and immediately made arrangements, issuing orders one after another to prepare the layout for the next purge of the court.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
