Qu Ping is already over forty years old. Due to years of hard work, his temples have turned gray, and his entire face has been covered with wind and frost, making him look extremely vicissitudes of life. Hearing Xiong Huai's words, he didn't speak for a while.
Even on the way here, he had already made a decision about Xiong Tai's death. But he couldn't say it at the moment because the answer he thought of was too cruel to Xiong Huai.
Xiong Huai and Qu Ping have known each other for more than ten years.
I already knew the basics.
Xiong Huai saw Qu Ping's concerns at a glance and said, "Prime Minister, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Qu Ping sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it involves the Third Prince. I think we can only endure it now."
"Can you bear it?"
Xiong Huai's eyes widened immediately, and his wrinkled face was full of anger and pain. He slapped his hand on the desk, stood up abruptly, and walked down angrily, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Xiong Huai stared at Qu Ping and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, do you know that Tai'er is my son. He is good at both civil and martial arts. My original plan was to appoint Tai'er as the commander-in-chief after he completed the Lujiang County plan. The prince's. In the past, when the prince died of illness, I never appointed another prince. The position of the prince of Chu has been vacant. Now, with great difficulty, I have made up my mind and already have a plan, but something went wrong with Tai'er. You said such a thing , how can I bear it?"
Qu Ping, however, was very calm and said, "Your Majesty, which one is more important, the hatred of one person or the safety of a country?"
Facing Xiong Huai¡¯s anger, Qu Ping was very calm.
Xiong Tai is also his disciple.
It was taught by Qu Ping.
Xiong Tai was killed, and Qu Ping sighed in his heart. He was extremely angry and felt extremely uncomfortable, because Xiong Tai could be said to be the future of Chu State. It's just that the matter has reached this point, Qu Ping cannot act on his own initiative and ignore the stability of Chu State.
Xiong Huai heard Qu Ping's words and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
Qu Ping said solemnly: "The third prince was killed, and everyone was angry. They wanted to kill Wang Qi immediately to avenge the third prince. However, once a large-scale army was launched to attack Lujiang County, it was very likely that the prince Zhao Li of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was guarding the northern border of Chu State, would He will send his army southward."
"You must know that Zhao Li has been working hard to overthrow our country of Chu. Even if there was turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or even the change of imperial power, Zhao Li remained unmoved and never left without permission."
"Such people are the most dangerous, staring at the Chu Kingdom like poisonous snakes. The most important thing is that when the third prince was there in the past, he suppressed the Wuxi Barbarians, the Nanman Barbarians in the south, and other barbarians, and these people also began to cause chaos."
"There is no problem in the hinterland of Chu State, but the southwest border and the southern border are unstable. Soldiers need to be sent to guard these. Once a large-scale army is raised, the country will be turbulent."
"After the third prince was killed, the originally stable court situation would immediately change, with turbulence and undercurrents surging. After all, everyone in the court had almost acquiesced that in the future the third prince would become the prince of the East Palace and inherit his majesty's legacy. But. Now that the third prince is gone, many people will make their own plans and take sides again."
When it was mentioned that Xiong Tai's death caused fluctuations in the court, Qu Ping could not hide his disappointment.
The situation suddenly became complicated.
"well¡¡"
After Xiong Huai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
It¡¯s so sad.
It¡¯s so infuriating.
Xiong Huai returned to his seat gloomily and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, is it true that our country of Chu cannot prosper? Fifteen years ago, the imperial power of Chu country changed, and the capital of our country of Chu was almost conquered. It was not easy for Chu country to succeed. The country gradually recovered and regained some vitality, while the Great Zhou Dynasty was in decline."
"Even today's Great Zhou is in internal chaos, and there are people everywhere who want to be kings and emperors. For the Chu State, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, after the Great Zhou is further weakened and consumed, We can send troops to the north, march straight in, and even destroy the Zhou Dynasty directly."
Xiong Huai said: "But now that Tai'er is dead in Chu State, even the local area is not stable. If the sky is with us, we will not be like this."
Qu Ping heard the loneliness and loss in Xiong Huai's words, and he comforted him: "Your Majesty, I have never believed in fate. I believe that man can defeat nature. As long as we go all out and plan actively, there will always be a time when the situation can be changed."
"The civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be quelled in a short time. In three to five years, there may be even more chaos. So now, we still have three to five years to tame the Wuxi barbarians and other barbarians, and stabilize the chaos on the local borders. .At the same time, re-register Taiyuan?, stabilizing the court. In this way, we can send troops. "
Qu Ping said: "Originally, we were going to Lujiang with the help of the third prince to open the door to the Great Zhou Dynasty and let us establish a foothold in the south. But the third prince failed along the way, so it would have to delay some time."
Xiong Huai sighed: "Prime Minister, what you said makes sense, but I just can't accept it. As a father, my son died, but I can't take revenge. It's in vain to be a father."
Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty is not only the father of the third prince, but also the father of countless people in Chu State. Your Majesty must take care of the three princes, and also consider the people of Chu State."
Xiong Huai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm still not willing to give in."
Qu Ping sighed in his heart.
Are you willing?
Who can be willing to do so?
"Xiong Tai is the best among many princes in terms of martial arts and civil and military strategies. The death of such a person would not only have a small impact on Chu State, but a huge impact.
Qu Ping was not willing to give in, because his ambition in this life was to let Chu go north to the Central Plains and dominate the world.
With Xiong Tai here, Qu Ping felt there was hope.
After all, Chu State was prospering, while Zhou Dynasty was in chaos.
This is an excellent opportunity.
"It's a pity that the sky does not curtain the Chu country."
Qu Ping knew Xiong Huai's inner reluctance, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it is definitely impossible to send troops. The only way is to ask someone to deal with Wang Qi and take revenge directly."
Xiong Huai said: "Tai'er himself is the great master of our Chu country. Even many martial arts masters of the older generation are no match for Tai'er. Even Tai'er was killed by Wang Qi, how to deal with Wang Qi?"
Qu Ping said: "It's not that there is no way."
Xiong Huai said: "What can we do?"
Qu Ping said: "Please ask our ancestors to take action. It will be easy for him to kill Wang Qi."
Xiong Huai's eyes lit up and he understood immediately. He paced back and forth, thought about it, and said, "So, it is indeed a way."
Qu Ping said: "It's not easy to invite our ancestors. The last time our ancestors took action was when the Zhou army invaded the Chu Kingdom fifteen years ago. Since then, we have not taken action again. Now we have to ask our ancestors to take action." , you still need to move them with emotion and reason. Furthermore, our ancestors generally understand the Tao and ignore worldly affairs. Your Majesty still needs to spend some effort to invite our ancestors."
Xiong Huai gritted his teeth and said loudly: "No matter what, this is what must be done. Wang Qi must die, and only in this way can we get revenge."
Qu Ping said: "Our ancestors are observing the Qing Dynasty outside the city, and I will go with your majesty."
"Let's go!"
Xiong Huai nodded and left with Qu Ping.
After the two people left the palace, they took a carriage and began to look toward the sky outside the city. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
