The Chu State failed to conquer Huang State, and its impact did not disappear with the end of the war, but spread rapidly. There are even rumors that the late emperor issued an edict to make Xiong Yun the Marquis of Chu, and that Xiong Jin assassinated the late emperor before he ascended the throne.
Although this is almost the truth, it can only be done but not said. So he ordered that rumors be banned and those who dared to spread them would be imprisoned.
For a time, the prisons in Yingdu were overcrowded, and the people in the city did not dare to speak. So there was a saying in Yingdu that "the people did not dare to speak, and the roads were in sight."
With the high-pressure rule of Chu Hou Xiong Jin, although there were no rumors on the surface, there was an undercurrent surging secretly, and it was unknown when it would completely erupt.
...
Once again, Xiong Yan woke up from his dream again. The palace servants who had been waiting outside heard the commotion and rushed over.
"Your Majesty!" Several people quickly served the tea, lit the candles, and began to serve.
Since the regicide came to power five years ago, Chu Hou Xiong Jin has often been awakened by nightmares. This is one of the reasons for its tyranny.
Xiong Jin wiped his sweat and said, "Go down!"
Several people quickly resigned and left.
Zhu Palace was built by his father Qing when he moved the capital. There were too many traces of Xiong Qi in it, which made Xiong Qian very dissatisfied and often had nightmares.
"Your Majesty." A familiar voice sounded.
"Zhu Palace is damp and unfavorable for living. Your Majesty's nightmares are getting worse every day. Why not choose another auspicious place to build the palace?" Xiong Jin's confidant Que suggested.
"Choose another auspicious place and build the palace again!" Xiong Jin, the Marquis of Chu, was very moved after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, the prison in the city is overcrowded. It is just right for these people to go and serve. If the palace is built, then we can pardon their sins and let them go home. It will also show your magnanimity."
Chu Hou nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then said: "I think your suggestion is very reasonable, so let's do it according to your method."
According to the decree of the Marquis of Chu, the Zhu Palace was damp and cold, making it unfavorable to live in. Therefore, another auspicious location was found to build the palace again. One hundred thousand people were levied into labor service, and prisoners from the prisons in Yingdu were also levied into service.
The capital of Ying ordered Yin Shenque to take charge of the construction and built the palace on the Qian River. Originally, the state of Chu was defeated, suffered heavy losses, and ceded land. The whole court was dissatisfied. However, instead of working hard to govern, the princes of Chu began to recruit people to build large-scale construction projects.
In order to build the palace, the State of Chu increased taxes. The people who were already living in hardship because of the conquest of Huang State and the increase in taxes last year now had an even more difficult time, and they also had to collect labor. For a time, many people fled.
After the Marquis of Chu decided to build a palace, he felt that since he was going to build it, he should build the best one in the world, so as to show the powerful national power of Chu State. So what was originally just a palace became the construction of the best palace in the world.
Yin Shenque was ordered to recruit strong people here to build the palace. People at that time said: "The whole country builds it." It took more than three years for the palace to be completed, and it was named Zhanghua Terrace. The platform was ten feet high and the base was fifteen feet wide. It was dotted with pavilions, terraces and pavilions, with rockeries and flowing water on it, winding corridors, and paths made of purple shells through the doors. Then pass by and go straight to the palace.
Shen Que ordered people to cut off the water source and introduce it to a high platform so that the water could be irrigated from top to bottom. He also ordered people to collect exotic flowers and plants and plant them in the palace. Capture rare and exotic animals and keep them among them.
The entire Zhanghua Palace can be described as magnificent and magnificent. At this time, it can be regarded as the best in the world.
When Zijue woke up from his deep sleep, he heard that the Chu State was building Zhanghua Terrace and came to see it. I have to say that the magnificence of Zhanghua Terrace was a bit of a spectacle.
If we use the system to evaluate Zhang Huatai, why should it require +10 civilization progress, +20 majesty, +20 construction, +20 entertainment, construction requirements -20 popular support, -20 wealth, and -20 food and grass.
Seeing this chapter of Huatai, Zijue said something in his mind: Marquis of Chu, the wonders are ruining the country!
It's a pity that although the Huatai in this chapter is beautifully built, Xiong Qian can't enjoy it for a few days. Zijue casually observed the state of Chu. The entire state of Chu was like a crater, which could erupt at any time, and the person who detonated it had already arrived.
Chu Houjin was very moved when he saw the magnificent Zhanghua Terrace.
He was so happy that he immediately announced that he would leave Zhu Palace and live in this palace.
The Marquis of Chu was arrogant and extravagant, abused torture, had no regard for the power of the people, and acted arbitrarily, causing many dissatisfied people in the country.
...
Sui Guo, since the last time, the Huai State sent an announcement asking the Suihou to support the return of the young master Yun. Although the Suihou had some changes, he had scruples and did not do it. He just invited the young master Yun to come and discuss with him.
Although the young master Yun also wanted to return to his country for revenge, he also understood that although Chu State was defeated last time, his bones and muscles were not injured. Even if the army escorted him back to his country, it was unclear whether he could succeed. So there was no rush to return home. Instead, he discussed with the Marquis about waiting.
Although Young Master Yun was young, he could see that Xiong Jin was very interested in success and had a cold temperament. Now the whole Chu State does not dislike him, but it won't be long before Xiong Jin will do whatever he wants. When he goes against the grain and cholera ravages the Chu State, the whole Chu State will dislike him, and he will surely succeed if he goes back.
Sure enough, things went as expected. Although in the first few years, they paid tribute to the emperor and received orders from the emperor of Zhou to guard Central and South China and make peace with the countries in the Central Plains. Later, they began to conquer the small countries in the south and destroyed one or two small barbarian countries. However, they turned around and The four kingdoms of Zhong, Huang, Cai, and Jiang faced each other and were defeated. ..
If he recuperated and worked hard to govern, his position would naturally be stable. However, he then carried out a large-scale construction project and recruited hundreds of thousands of people. The lack of national power had already made the Chu Kingdom disgusted.
Seeing this situation, Sui Hou invited Young Master Yun out again, and then expressed his intention to send a large army to escort him back to his country. Young Master Yun immediately expressed his gratitude.
The country sent an army of eight thousand to escort Xiong Yun back to the country. The army first entered the Chu territory, and the Chu army surrendered in the hope of wind. Xiong Yun led the army commander and drove straight in. Chu Houjun was furious and ordered an army of 50,000 to be recruited for a decisive battle.
However, the Chu state's patience with Xiong Jin had reached its limit and they were unwilling to fight for him. The morale of the 50,000-strong army was low. Moreover, even the officials and nobles of Chu State were unwilling to serve Chu Hou Qian.
The two sides fought in the field, and the morale of the army with the country was high. The 8,000-strong army attacked with overwhelming force, and the Chu army surrendered countless people. The 50,000-strong army fell apart, leaving Yin Shenque to flee alone. Xiong Yun summoned an army of 50,000 to surrender, and then the army marched straight in and captured the capital of Ying. Immediately afterwards, Xiong Yun led an army to attack Zhanghuatai.
Chu Hou was trapped on the stage and was eventually captured and killed by Xiong Yun.
After Xiong Yun killed Xiong Jin, he ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne of Chu Hou. Xiong Yun hated Xiong Jin deeply, and ordered Xiong Jin to rule the country without becoming a king. He was named "Du Ao" and was not buried with royal rites.
Poor Xiong worked hard to build Zhanghuatai, but he was killed by his younger brother before he could live there for a few days. Not only was Zhanghuatai enjoyed by his younger brother Xiong Yun, but he was also required to shoulder the infamy. This time Xiong Yun... Won Ma.
PS: I have a cold, so it’s a little late.
