ps: The chapter name is wrong again, I'm really sorry. In addition, the "fantasy" elements of this book are limited to the level of deception, so there is nothing to worry about turning history into fantasy. As for the guest actor in the previous chapter, he was the guest star in the previous book.
The main character only made a cameo this time. Well, I just couldn’t bear to part with some of the characters created.
————The following text————
Mijiang...
Zhao Hongrun was sitting in the carriage, thinking about the meaning of this name.
At first he thought it was Jiang. The word is made up of the two characters "sheep" and "female", and sheep means docile in the ancient meaning. Therefore, Jiang can be understood as a docile woman in the ancient meaning.
But after Zhao Hongrun asked about it, he realized that the ginger mentioned by the cold witch was actually Jiang Bao.
Note: The reason why it is written as "Mijiang" has been explained in the previous chapter.
"My younger sister is young grass, my elder sister is bitter ginger...?"
Zhao Hongrun turned his head and glanced at the cold witch, no, she should be called Mi Jiang.
"This doesn't seem like a name that the noble Xiong family of Chu would give..." Zhao Hongrun shook his head and added.
Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun with some surprise, and without concealing it, said calmly: "It was named by an old woman who taught my sisters witchcraft."
"Where are your sisters' parents?"
"They're all gone." Mi Jiang said calmly.
Zhao Hongrun thought for a while and suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo and your sisters?"
"..." Mi Jiang took a deep look at Zhao Hongrun, but this time she did not pretend not to hear. Instead, she told Zhao Hongrun a story in a calm tone: "Runan Jun Xiong Hao was once the original town of this land.
You are also the father of my sisters."
Runan Jun?
Zhao Hongrun was stunned, because he felt that the land of this Runan Lord and the current feudal territory of Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo overlapped with each other. Then he thought that Mi Jiang had said nothing when she mentioned her parents. He
It's already somewhat clear in my mind.
"Did Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, take away your father's fiefdom?... This is wrong. If Xiong Tuo took away your father's fiefdom, why would you still call him Mr. Xiong Tuo?"
Mi Jiang sighed slightly when he heard this: "Because it's not Lord Xiong Tuo who wants to harm his late father. It's the nobles of the entire Da Chu who want his late father "↙style_txt;" to die. Lord Xiong Tuo tried hard to deal with it, but he could only save my sister.
, just sent to Ba to escape."
Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was surprised and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did your father do to make the entire Chu Kingdom's nobles want him dead?"
"Reform." Mi Jiang said expressionlessly: "My father feels that there are serious shortcomings in the governance of Da Chu, which has caused the great nobles and nobles to stand high and have little benefit to the country, but enjoy all the luxury; and the great
The common people of Chu work hard, but most of them have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat... Therefore, my father proposed to the king to weaken the power of the nobility and return it to the common people..."
Hiss...what a guy! No wonder the entire Chu Kingdom nobles wanted to kill him.
After Zhao Hongrun heard this, he couldn't help but admire the noble character of Mr. Runan, but he secretly shook his head at his behavior.
Weaken the power of the entire Chu State’s old aristocratic forces?
This means that we have to fight against the old aristocratic forces of the entire Chu State!
It’s strange that the old aristocratic forces of Chu State can tolerate him!
"Being treated as a traitor... and killed?" Zhao Hongrun asked tentatively.
"Traitor?" Mi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself: "Absolutely. The crime my father was finally convicted of was treason."
"Have a good death!" Zhao Hongrun's words made Mi Jiang's eyes turn cold.
But just when Mi Jiang was about to speak, she heard Zhao Hongrun say with emotion: "If these wise men do not die, they will definitely become a problem for me, the Wei Dynasty!"
"..." Mi Jiang opened her mouth, and then showed a faint smile in relief: "I forgot that you are from Wei."
Earn impression points!
Zhao Hongrun raised the corner of his mouth calmly.
Mi Jiang didn't notice the pride in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and still said to himself: "At that time, my father felt that there were huge drawbacks in the operation of the entire country of Da Chu. The great nobles and aristocratic forces were getting richer and richer.
The common people are getting poorer and poorer. If things go on like this, the entire country will surely fall into civil strife... You must know that the number of common people far exceeds that of the nobles and aristocratic forces... It is a pity that the king did not take my father's advice."
"It's impossible to accept it." Zhao Hongrun said firmly.
"..." Mi Jiang looked at Zhao Hongrun in surprise when he heard this, but the latter said calmly: "My father is the emperor of Wei, the king of Wei in your mouth. He also wants to change some things in our country...
Inappropriate distribution of interests. For example, the powerful people in our country, Wei, control the entire
Eighty percent of the country's commercial profits do not allow civilians to intervene. However, when I proposed this reform proposal with Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yuzi Qi, my father refused. The reason is that it will lead to the influence of the powerful and powerful in the entire Wei Dynasty.
To resist this, and even openly oppose my father..."
The look in Mi Jiang's eyes became warmer when he heard this, and he nodded and said: "That's the truth... Mr. Xiong Tuo also persuaded my father at that time, but unfortunately his father did not listen. At that time, my father still had a negative attitude toward the king and the nobles in the country.
Keep trusting, and he feels that someone will support him."
"Support him?" Zhao Hongrun chuckled: "It didn't work out, right?"
"Yes, but very few, only a few of them, persuaded my father in private letters." Mi Jiang sighed and said, "However, my father never regretted it until his death... He believed that he had done nothing wrong. I, Da Chu, want to
To become strong, we must weaken the rights of the old aristocrats, and we must not abandon the common people. According to the current governance strategy of the Xiong family, it will only lead to the destruction of the entire Chu country..."
…
Zhao Hongrun remained silent. As a Wei man, to be honest, he did not want to see the enemy country gradually become stronger.
Even out of selfishness, he felt that it would be better for Runan Jun Xiong Hao to die, otherwise, the situation of Wei State would become very difficult.
However, when Mi Jiang saw that he was silent, she asked in a very ignorant manner: "Do you think your father's idea is wrong?"
Looking at the vague expectation in Mi Jiang's eyes, Zhao Hongrun didn't know what he was thinking. At that moment, he said what he was thinking: "If you want to restrain the rights of the aristocratic class in the entire country, you must do a good job with the entire aristocratic force.
Preparing for the enemy...This must be supported by a strong army...Your father must have the right idea, but if he expects the aristocratic forces to willingly hand over their power, then he would be too naive."
The look in Mi Jiang's eyes became a little warmer, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with Zhao Hongrun's answer.
"You are wrong about this. My father was in charge of the entire Western Chu country at the time, and he had many troops under his command... However, he did not want to go to war with the nobles of Eastern Chu State, so he chose to make peace. At that time, he
Mr. Xiong Sheng, the envoy sent by the Xiong clan nobles in the east of Chu to persuade him to surrender, had a private discussion. After coming out, he said, "It seems that I am too impatient. Our great Chu is not ready for reform." Then, his father chose to surrender.
"
"Xiong Sheng? Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng?" Zhao Hongrun asked in surprise.
"Do you know Mr. Xiong Sheng?" Mi Jiang asked in surprise.
"I've heard of it." Zhao Hongrun replied expressionlessly.
Mi Jiang glanced at Zhao Hongrun, but didn't care, and continued: "After the defeat, my father died calmly and asked Lord Xiong Tuo to cut off his head with his own hands and take it to Shouying... He devoted all his unfulfilled ambitions to
I place my trust in Mr. Xiong Tuo
He hopes that Mr. Xiong Tuo can become the king in the future and guide me to innovate in Chu." After saying that, Mi Jiang turned around and glanced at Zhao Hongrun, her eyes seemed to silently tell the latter that this was the relationship between Xiong Tuo and their sisters.
relation.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun had no time to pay attention to Mi Jiang's eyes. He asked in a solemn tone: "You mean, Xiong Tuo is the successor who inherited your father's innovative ideas?"
"Yes." Mi Jiang nodded and did not hide anything: "And my father sacrificed himself to make Mr. Xiong Tuo become the Lord of Yangcheng today, because Mr. Xiong Tuo was one of the people who secretly supported my father."
"..." Zhao Hongrun's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
You know, he originally felt that something was wrong with Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo. He was not like those Chu nobles who only knew how to enjoy luxury. The other party did not use the taxes collected in the fiefdom for luxury enjoyment, but used that
The money was used to continuously attack Wei, prepare military equipment, and even purchase war horses from Ba.
This is clearly not a new aristocrat who is colluding with the old aristocrats in Chu.
"what you up to?!"
Mi Jiang's eyes showed some vigilance, because she suddenly felt that the eyes of King Wei Guosu beside her, who was several years younger than her, suddenly became a little scary.
"..." Zhao Hongrun glanced at Mi Jiang and remained silent.
Misstep... Now the tiger is really back to the mountain!
Zhao Hongrun secretly regretted it in his heart. Although he was originally very proud of killing Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, if he had known in advance that this man actually had the ambition to change the current situation of the entire Chu State, then he would rather give up.
With that compensation, I would rather risk war with the Chu State at this moment to get rid of this potential hidden danger.
How could he sit back and watch Xiong Tuo, who had such ambitions, change the current national situation of the entire Chu country?
He knew very well that today's Chu State still hides a strength that exceeds that of Wei State, but unfortunately, the Chu State's governance strategies constrain the development of this country. It is no exaggeration to say that the great nobles in Chu State and the
The aristocratic power is a cancer that restrains the entire Chu State from developing into a stronger country.
And if Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, becomes the future King of Chu, if he really begins to gradually restrict the rights of the old nobles and improve the status of common people in Chu, this will not be a good thing for Wei and Qi.
What's worse is that the king of Yangcheng, Xiong Tuo, is much more ruthless than the king of Runan, Xiong Hao. For his own ambitions, he gradually expands the territory under his rule, and treats the kings who don't support him, such as the king of Xiangcheng, Xiong Ren.
, Xiong Tuo will not have any friendship for his first-blood compatriots like his uncle, Runan Jun Xiong Hao.
This guy was originally a very dangerous guy, but now after listening to Mi Jiang's story, Zhao Hongrun felt that the threat that guy posed to his country of Wei was far greater than he imagined.
It is best to nip this kind of hidden danger in the future in time, lest it eventually become a serious trouble for Wei State in the future! (To be continued.)
