Qu Yuan arrived at Xiong Wuliang's residence with sweating profusely. What surprised him was that the heads of the Xu and Hong clans who had caused the original trouble were sitting next to Xiong Wuliang.
The two brothers were smiling and the scene looked very harmonious...
This is in sharp contrast to the panicked Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan's brain is down!
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly: "Qu Zi is here... sit down and talk."
Qu Yuan sat down in a daze, forgetting to respond to the greetings from the Xu and Hong clan chiefs.
"Master..." After a long time, Qu Yuan reported stumblingly: "The whole city is in chaos!"
"Most noble ministers have raised land disputes!"
"The land involved accounts for about 70% of the total area of Yingdu!"
"The situation is extremely unfavorable..." Qu Yuan glared at the two clan leaders fiercely: "It's all the trouble caused by you two!"
The two clan leaders looked at each other and couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
They are just two run-down little nobles, and they really cannot afford the resentment of Chu State's new commander... He quickly explained: "We are following the wishes of Marquis Quyang and Mr. Song..."
Um?
Qu Yuan was stunned.
Xiong Wuliang smiled and seemed to have no intention of explaining. At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside. Shaohu pushed open the door and said angrily: "The old dogs in the city are swarming in chaos! Please give the order, and the general will destroy them immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shaohu also saw the two clan leaders...
"It's all your fault for causing such a big thing!" Shaohu said angrily with eyes as wide as bells.
Xiong Wuliang laughed!
As an important promoter of the script...Xiong Wuliang did not tell Shaohu about his plan in advance.
This idiot can't hide his secrets. If he knew about it in advance, he would be exposed.
Song Zhe finally said: "Don't panic, everyone... everything is within the master's plan."
Qu Yuan stared at Song Zhe with a sinister smile on his face, feeling angry for a moment.
Damn you!
Do you know how big a commotion there is in the city?
But Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly: "Let them make trouble...the bigger the trouble, the better!"
"All disputes about land are put aside for the time being!"
"If there are any more fights and troubles, we will arrest them all."
…
Zhaoju Mansion.
Xiong Wuliang's 'calmness' obviously exceeded the expectations of the nobles!
No one could have imagined that now that the city is full of turmoil, the Quyanghou child can still sit still and not even show his face.
Some nobles couldn't bear their temper and secretly encouraged their children to fight too... But the bastards from the Quyang New Army showed no mercy and arrested them all.
As a result... even though the whole city was in uproar, there was still nothing that could be done about the damn Mi Liang child!
"We can't go on like this!" Jing Chong said after taking pictures of the incident: "Tomorrow happens to be the day of the court meeting again. I'll attack together! Dingjiao Xiong Wuliang will give an explanation on the spot!"
The ministers looked at Zhaoju... Zhaoju frowned and thought hard, but found nothing... In the end, Zhaoju could only nod his head to show his agreement.
…
The so-called 'routine court meeting' does not occur once a day - according to Zhou rites, princes meet the emperor once every three years and once every six years. In practice, monarchs of various countries generally organize three or five court meetings a month and hibernate in winter. During this period, the frequency may be even lower - for some who are particularly diligent, there may be weekly meetings.
In short, court meetings in this era are very flexible.
It was not until Qin Shihuang, a workaholic, became emperor that court meetings became a daily practice.
This is also the ancient origin of the clock-in system...
Since the new king Mi Heng ascended the throne, Chu State's court meetings have generally been held once a week... Except for the first court meeting, which demonstrated Xiong Wuliang's "wolf ambition", the subsequent court meetings were basically what Qu Yuan and others said themselves. It's just a formality.
But today's court meeting is obviously extraordinary!
Before the ministers went to the palace, they exchanged vague glances...
"All ministers enter the palace..." The old chamberlain shouted, and then all the nobles and ministers entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, the cold has not healed today, and I still have this prince presiding over the court meeting." Xiong Wuliang said as he stood beside the empty throne, leaning on the Pingnan Sword.
Then, it was a dry process again - Qu Yuan reported the latest progress in disaster relief, and Xiong Wuliang expressed his approval... and then mentioned that envoys from Zhao and Qi were about to come to Chu, and Xiong Wuliang also expressed that the three countries are friendly within a narrow strip of water. Allies and so on...
Finally, the long nonsense is over.
Xiong Wuliang said with a straight face: "Ministers, do you have anything else to report?" As he spoke, he glanced at the audience viciously, with a look like 'Whoever dares to open his mouth will be doomed'...
Seeing Xiong Wuliang's ferocious expression, the ministers who had originally planned to attack in groups all flinched...
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly: "In that case, let's go..."
"Wait a minute!" Jing Chong gritted his teeth and stood up... while secretly cursing his teammates for being cowards.
Ahem, there is nothing we can do.
Unless the threat is real, the nobles of Chu State are always reluctant to stand out.
Under the gaze of everyone, Xiong Wuliang's expression remained as usual: "Oh? Mr. Jing Guo has something to say?"
Zhuo, just pretend.
All the ministers sneered in their hearts.
Immediately, I will make you feel helpless!
Jing Chong said sternly: "Recently, I heard that many ministers in Yingdu City have disputes over the ownership of their own land... When Marquis Quyang set off a fire, he did drive away the powerful enemy, but it also left a lot of trouble."
"Our country, Chu, has gone through a fierce battle, and everything is in ruins. If this matter is not dealt with, I am afraid that the ministers will be at odds, which will be a big disaster."
"Especially the capture of the Xu family and the Hong family caused heated discussions between the government and the public..."
"Since the fire was set by the Lord, then the aftermath should be dealt with by the Lord... I hope Qu Yanghou will not shirk it." Jing Chong said, with a cold gleam of mockery in his eyes.
Xiong Wuliang, are you at your wits' end?
Still want to delay? Still want to hide?
Today, I must force you to express your stance!
…
Sure enough, Xiong Wuliang's face changed and he looked panicked!
"This matter..." Xiong Wuliang said calmly: "I and Qu Lingyin are still planning it...it is not part of today's agenda..."
OK!
The spirits of the ministers are high!
Destroy Mi Liang today!
Jing Chong took the lead in starting the group, and immediately a minister appeared to follow: "What Mr. Jing Guo said is very true! I hope Marquis Qu Yang will give an explanation as soon as possible!"
"No matter what, we must decide as soon as possible!"
"Hmph, I went out of the city and found out that the original site of my mansion belonged to someone else's house - it's a big joke in the world! Your Majesty wants to make the decision for me!"
Seeing that the court was noisy, it was like a vegetable market.
Xiong Wuliang waved his hands repeatedly, looking embarrassed...
Finally, an inconspicuous person emerged from behind Xiong Wuliang and said loudly——
…
