My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?

Chapter 346: Breaking a cup as a sign of victory, a bloody battle in the palace!
  Looking around the banquet hall, King Chu Han frowned slightly: "Xiang Zhigui hasn't arrived yet?"

According to the eunuch's reply, although Xiang Yan resisted, he finally agreed to come.

but.

What about people?

Xiang Rong immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands: "To report to your Majesty, my father obeyed your Majesty's order and has not left the mansion even half a step since he returned to the army."

"I am hereby ordered to pay my respects to the king on behalf of my father."

King Chu Han said in a deep voice: "Of course, today I ordered Xiang Zhigui to come to the banquet."

"Why should Xiang Zhigui remain imprisoned in the house due to my orders?"

Xiang Rong said bitterly: "The battle against Qin was defeated, and the thieves of Qin were driven straight in, broke through Shouchun City, and threatened the king."

"This is a great shame and humiliation!"

"The Lord is humiliated and I die!"

"My father has repeatedly wanted to kill himself to apologize. If we hadn't begged him so hard, my father would have died!"

"My father has no face to live in this world, how can he have the face to receive a banquet from the king!"

Xiang Rong spoke very sincerely, outlining the image of a loyal minister.

But King Chu Han was sneering in his heart.

The Lord humiliates his ministers to death?

Give me a break!

When did I, Da Chu, start doing what the Qilu Confucianists did?

And if you are really so loyal, you should all draw your swords and kill yourself now!

Angry in his heart, King Chu sighed deeply on his face: "The defeat of Qin is so great that I am also heartbroken!"

"But I know that the defeat in this battle does not lie with Xiang Zhigui, but with me."

"If I understand the general trend of the world, how can I agree even if all my dear friends advise me to send troops?"

The eyes of Qu Huan, Jing Chou and others changed a bit.

Is King Chu Han reflecting on himself?
  He is clearly slapping every major clan in the face!
  Jingchou and others had no choice but to stand up immediately and all raised their hands: "I am guilty!"

King Chu Han's voice became more and more miserable: "It is not guilty to love you, but I am the one to blame!"

"In order to appease the Qin Dynasty, I had to remove Xiang Zhigui from his post, and even made Xiang Zhigui shut up and think about his mistakes."

"The punishment is on Xiang Zhigui, but the pain is in everyone's heart!"

"Now that there is chaos within the Qin Dynasty, there is no time to look southward."

"I want to withdraw the punishment of Xiang Zhigui and allow Xiang Zhigui to return to our great state of Chu."

King Chu Han sighed softly: "But now it seems that Xiang Zhigui has a grudge against me!"

Chu Wanghan's words seemed weak.

But the last sentence made everyone feel shocked.

The word 'resentment in the heart' cannot be explained simply by saying that one feels uncomfortable.

What was the reason why Bai Qi was sentenced to death?
  It’s just the resentment in my heart!
  Now the King of Chu has put this name on Xiang Yan's head, which is equivalent to forcing Xiang Yan to a dead end!
  Either go to the palace immediately and personally remove this charge.

Either stay in the house and wait to kill yourself!

Xiang Rong knelt down on the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, please be aware that my father has absolutely no resentment in his heart!"

The young master also stood up after carrying the cud and handed it over: "I think that the king made a mistake in carrying the cucumber!"

"With Xiang Zhigui's character, how can he be resentful towards the king?"

"Your Majesty is kind and willing to give Xiang Zhigui the opportunity to lead the army again. Xiang Zhigui will definitely feel deeply about it and will have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"As long as a eunuch is sent to Xiang Zhigui's house and provokes him with words, Xiang Zhigui will definitely enter the palace immediately!"

King Chu Han turned his gaze to Young Master Fu Chu: "Really?"

This is the kingdom of Shangzhu for the mediocre people.

Why do you know him so well?

The young master spread out his hands alertly: "This is my speculation."

"Of course, I think it may be very big."

King Chu Han couldn't use this to attack, so he could only nodded slightly: "My brother Wang, this is a very good thing."

"Pass the widow's order!"

"Send eunuchs to Xiang Zhigui's house again, saying that I intend to make Xiang Zhigui regain military power, and also intend to comfort my great Chu Zhuliang with fine wine and a prince."

"If Xiang Zhigui still has the heart to fight for my great Chu, he should enter the palace as soon as possible!"

Li Yuan immediately handed over his hand: "Wei!"

The eunuch went to find the last person on King Chu's list.

King Han of Chu raised his wine cup and loudly invited him to drink: "Everyone who loves you, drink to win!"

Xiong Lingchu and others hurriedly raised the title: "Wang Yinsheng!"

After drinking all the wine, King Chu Han sighed softly: "I invite you all to come here today to discuss a major matter."

"The main reason why our Dachu state was defeated in this battle was that Shouchun City was lost."

"Now the territory north of the Yingshui River in our great Chu has been seized by the Qin State, and the distance between Shouchun City and the Qin State has been shortened again."

"Not only that, Qin also captured Daliang City!"

King Chu Han's voice turned solemn: "The Qin army destroyed Wei and took control of Wei's navy."

"Once the Qin army and the Wei navy go south, they can go down the river and reach Shouchun City!"

"My dear friends, do you have any ideas for me to share my worries?"

Although the ministers had different thoughts, when King Chu Han raised this issue, all the courtiers had to feel heavy.

Why did Chu State move its capital continuously?
  Isn’t it because Chu State was attacked by Qin State one after another and its capital was conquered!
  But this time the threat faced by Chu State is more severe than before.

Once Qin decides to attack Chu, it can go down the Ying River and quickly face the walls of Shouchun City!

This feeling of being in the capital of the country under the enemy's butcher's knife is really uncomfortable.

Jingchou stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I would like to report to your Majesty that I would like to advise you to move the capital!"

"After this battle, the walls of Shouchun City have collapsed. It would be too costly and time-consuming to repair them."         "And even if the walls of Shouchun City are repaired to their original strength, they will not be able to stop the Qin army from flying rocks."

"If the Qin army takes the land route, Shouchun City will be difficult to stop. If the Qin army takes the water route, Shouchun City will be in danger."

“Only by moving the capital can we ensure the peace of Shouchun City!”

Jing's food towns are concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin in the southeast of Chu State.

Once the capital is moved in that direction, the Jing family may need to give up a city to Chu as the capital.

But correspondingly, Jing's other restaurants will inevitably achieve economic development driven by the capital!
  However, most of Qu's food towns are concentrated in the Huaihe River Basin.

Once the capital of Chu State moves to the southeast, it will be a huge blow to Qu's food town!

Therefore, Qu Huan immediately stood up and refuted: "Only if the capital is set in Shouchun, can our Chu troops be stationed at the border of Qin and Chu."

"Once the capital is moved further south, Chu will definitely lose control of Yingshui."

"The reason why our great Chu has been defeated in consecutive battles is because our great Chu will move its capital backward every time after losing a battle."

"The reason why Qin keeps winning in battles is because Qin keeps moving its capital forward."

"In the past, when Qin was about to perish, Duke Xiang of Qin moved his capital eastward to Yueyang, not hesitate to face the enemy's front. As a result, Qin's army gathered in Yueyang, and only then did Qin stop its decline!"

"Now, although our great Chu state has been defeated, I think it is inappropriate to move the capital."

"On the contrary, I, the great Chu, should dig deep into Shouchun City to prepare for another war!"

What Qu Huan said is reasonable and well-founded.

Whether it is Qin Xiangong's move of the capital to the border or the emperors of later generations guarding the country's gates, it has been proved that the location of the capital has a direct impact on military strength.

But this is the court of Chu State.

Right and wrong are important, but interests are even more important!
  Zhaocen asked angrily: "What will happen if the Qin army goes south again one day?"

Seeing the three clans Qu, Jing, Zhao and a group of minor nobles spitting and arguing fiercely, King Chu Han sneered in his heart.

This is my noble of Dachu!
  The few people just threw out a piece of bait, but they almost knocked the dog's brains out.

For their own interests, they don’t even care about the interests of the country!

At this moment, King Chu Han made up his mind completely.

"What my uncle said is right."

"If we don't get rid of all these moths, our great Chu will never prosper!"

"Even if you have to bear some risks, I should act like this!"

While muttering, King Chu Han's peripheral vision caught the young master's gaze.

King Chu Han restrained his murderous intent, smiled, and invited the king to drink.

We are waiting for Xiang Zhigui, what are you waiting for!
  The young master, carrying the cud, also hurriedly raised the wine baron and invited him to drink with a smile.

This young master is waiting for Xiang Zhigui, what are you waiting for!
  Time passed quickly among the officials arguing.

Half an hour later, a eunuch trotted up to King Chu Han's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, Xiang Zhigui has arrived outside the palace gate!"

"Of course, Xiang Zhigui came here alone. He also brought his family soldiers and some generals."

The King of Chu asked vigilantly: "Have you ever worn armor and held a soldier?"

The eunuch quickly shook his head: "None of them!"

King Chu Han felt relieved and whispered: "Allow him to enter the palace."

"Call the palace guards to take action!"

The eunuch responded with a solemn voice: "Your command!"

The eunuch left in a hurry, and King Han of Chu once again saw the ministers who were still arguing in the palace.

After pouring all the warm rice wine in the wine cup into his throat, King Chu Han raised his right arm and then swung it out heavily.

"Dang~bang~bang!"

The wine cup in his hand fell to the ground, and he jumped and rolled down the steps and landed in the hall.

The ministers immediately fell silent and suddenly turned to look at King Chu Han. They saw King Chu Han standing up and speaking quietly: "I am tired, I am tired."

As soon as he finished his sentence, a uniform cry of death sounded outside the hall.

"Destroy the traitors and protect the king!"

A well-known, strong and brave palace guard wearing a helmet rushed into the hall.

A young man from a wealthy family was caught in Wangshan's frame with a crossbow in hand.

In an instant, the bowstring exploded!

In the main hall, foreigners and civilians who had been promoted by Li Yuan in recent years also kicked and overturned the case, and shouted angrily:
  "Your Majesty treats us favorably and gives us the opportunity to ascend to high positions."

"This group of national scoundrels have secretly occupied high positions, suppressed us, and even intimidated the king."

"His crime should be punished!"

"kill!"

While shouting and shouting, the new dignitaries picked up the items they had handy and charged at the old nobles.

the other side.

Seeing the guards entering the palace, Jingchou's pupils narrowed even though he was on guard.

"How dare your Majesty risk the disapproval of the world and commit such a brutal act?!"

"Jing's children, file a case!"

With a sudden force of both hands, the table was lifted up.

The food tripod on the table fell to the ground, but the solid wood table, which was thicker than the shield, helped them block the wave of crossbow arrows.

His arms were numb from the shock, but Jingchou gritted his teeth and held on to the table, shouting angrily: "Children of the Jing family, form a formation!"

"There is a thief who wants to attack and kill the king, please protect him!"

In order to make the guards wary, the children of all races stopped shooting arrows and ran towards the main hall in unison.

But a group of guards had already emerged from behind the high platform to protect King Han of Chu.

Looking across the shield wall at the blood flowers blooming from time to time, King Chu held a new wine prince in his hand and asked with a smile:
  "My dear friends, this is a banquet for me..."

"Is it delicious?"
