By the way, there was a lot of scolding in this palace!
Mi Heng, the king of Chu who was present, was convinced that Xiong Wuliang was "ambitious" - if not, how could he turn a blind eye to himself, the real king of Chu? Or even blatantly taking over power?
It is a pity that there are no allusions to Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Sima Zhao and other "rebellious ministers and traitors" in this era. Mi Heng's words of angrily denounced Xiong Wuliang were insufficient in terms of evidence and the intensity of the scolding was not strong enough.
Probably we can only compare Xiong Wuliang to the Zizhi of Yan State and the Zhao, Wei and Han tribes of Jin State.
As for the rest of the old nobles, headed by Zhaoju, Jingchong and others, their feelings towards Xiong Wuliang at the moment... are filled with hatred and fear!
Hate, of course, hate Xiong Wuliang's extortion, which caused heavy losses to the big families in Yingdu City!
Never mind what Xiong Wuliang wants the money for... Even if he wants to use the money to save millions of refugees in the Huainan Plain, what does that have to do with me?
Those poor people can't afford to eat, so they have to take coins from the hands of labor and management?
There is no such truth in the world!
It’s so annoying!
As for fear... of course, he was afraid of Xiong Wuliang's military power and the latter's reputation of intimidating other countries.
Even though everyone hates Xiong Wuliang deeply, and they still have more or less military power in their hands... But Marquis Quyang has bullied the nobles to this point, and no one who has lost his mind dares to say "use force".
Xiong Wuliang's reputation as the "Great Chu Army God" did not come from the wind.
That is the name given to the classic battles of defeating the large with less and the weak defeating the strong! Behind them are mountains of corpses from the enemy... Xiong Wuliang's loyal 20,000 elite infantrymen are a real iron-blooded army that fought in bloody battles one after another!
Everyone still dared to engage in intrigues and intrigues in the palace.
As for using knives and guns... let's forget it...
Of course, Xiong Wuliang himself was also wary of the word "using force". Firstly, the refugee wave has not been resolved. Secondly, the Chu State is now too short of money and food to fight a civil war. Thirdly, the strength of the old nobles of the Chu State is quite strong after all. Fourthly, winter is about to begin...
In any case, the resentment of Mi Heng and the old nobles towards Xiong Wuliang is as real as this at this moment, gathering into a grand symphony!
"Little Mi Liang! Damn it! Damn it!" There were no outsiders here, and of course Zhaoju didn't have to act, so he gnashed his teeth and cursed, remembering the grudge between himself and Xiong Wu for many years, and scolded him in a cadence and full of emotion...
If it were placed in our primary school classroom and the text was read aloud like this, the teacher would probably praise it.
"Such a powerful and treacherous minister is really a misfortune for our country!" Jing Chong was heartbroken.
"The thunder from the sky will strike this beast to death!"
Amidst the scolding and crying, finally, an old nobleman who seemed to be stronger stepped forward and laughed twice. Everyone saw that this man had a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and looked like a protagonist!
"Today's treacherous ministers are wielding power and putting our country of Chu in danger. How can you still laugh?" Jing Chong suddenly stood up and glared at him!
The man smiled slightly and said slowly and very arrogantly: "Young Minister of the Manchu Dynasty, if you cry all night until dawn, and if you cry till dawn all night, can you still cry to death for Mi Liang?"
"I heard that the Imperial Master has a precious sword..."
…
Unfortunately, we don’t know what the man wanted to say in the end...
Just when everyone was concentrating and waiting for the man to continue to offer his advice... there were heavy and orderly footsteps outside the door!
The officials suddenly changed their colors!
The door opened, and a group of fierce warriors swarmed in!
There was immediately silence in the main hall...
The warriors who poured in were wearing double armor, with shining swords and halberds. The armor on their bodies seemed to have faint scratches left by knives and axes. They were obviously not weak guards of honor, but real warriors who had been on the battlefield for a long time!
The direct descendants of Quyang Hou——Quyang’s new army!
who? Who leaked the news?
No matter how wealthy Zhaoju is, his pretty old face can’t help but turn pale...
Jing Chong and others were even more quarreling, their faces turned pale.
Even the stupid King Mi Heng of Chu was intimidated into shutting up by the fierce new army warriors. Although his eyes flashed wildly with reluctance, he could not say a word.
There was a burst of clear laughter from outside the door... and everyone was even more horrified.
In full view of everyone, Xiong Wuliang walked in swaggeringly... Behind him, Shaohu and Xiaohei, both wearing helmets and armor, looked like fighting in a battle formation, glaring at everyone in the room.
Quiet, absolutely quiet.
If a pin drops on the ground, you can hear it clearly!
In the room, there was only the sound of the smiling Xiong Wuliang pacing slowly, and all the ministers lowered their heads... No one dared to look at Qu Yanghou who rushed in with his soldiers.
The silence lasted for a long time.
Xiong Wuliang deliberately prolonged the silence to allow the atmosphere of fear to fully brew, and finally smiled slowly -
"Your Majesty, the cold has not yet healed. How dare you suddenly come in and disturb your Majesty's rest?"
"If the king is frightened, can the second and third sons take responsibility?"
Still silence.
…
Only King Mi Heng of Chu's face turned red. Seeing the damn Xiong Wuliang dominating in front of him, he felt that if he didn't resist anymore, he would lose all his prestige today... So he mustered up the courage and stiffened his neck: "I... I am an idiot. Not sick!"
Xiong Wuliang waved his hand, and a group of imperial doctors appeared out of nowhere, swarmed up from behind Quyang's new army, and tightly surrounded the King of Chu. After touching his hands... they came to the same diagnosis: "Your Majesty I'm sick!"
"You should rest!"
"You can't see the wind!"
King Chu was so angry that his eyesight went dark!
The arrogant Xiong Wuliang has gone too far!
Mi Heng was extremely angry. For a moment, Erluzi's temper came to him. He couldn't care less and was about to get angry... His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make any sound.
It turned out that one of King Chu's acupuncture points had just been secretly controlled by an imperial doctor, making him unable to make any sound.
Mi Heng was horrified!
In my heart, I hate and fear Xiong Wuliang!
While she couldn't make a sound, Mi Heng cursed Xiong Wuliang crazily in her heart: "Wolf ambition!" Evil villain! If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely cut you into pieces! Bones abandoned in the street! Let the wild dogs eat it! '
It's a pity that although the King of Chu scolded brilliantly in his heart, he had no audience.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly and said in a calm voice: "Since the king can't stay idle in the palace, you might as well pass some time and wait until your body and bones become stronger. I will organize a winter hunting to accompany the king to relieve his boredom!"
"All ministers, please come together when the time comes to witness the power of my king!"
Xiao Hei held the hilt of the sword at his waist and snorted with his nose just right.
The ministers looked at each other in confusion. In front of Xiong Wuliang, of course, they no longer had the arrogance and arrogance they had before. They nodded obediently: "You have invited me, can you not come?"
The memory of the time when Marquis Quyang struck Zilan to death with his sword is still vivid in his mind.
As long as he is a sane person, who dares to touch him face to face?
Xiong Wuliang smiled and clapped his hands: "Very good, it's settled!"
Afterwards, Marquis Quyang, who openly led his troops to rush into the palace, had a gloomy look on his face and his tone became harsh——
