Chapter 70 The Lost Marquis of Shaoxing
Yin Xu walked up to the steps, bowed to the prince Xiong Xin, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness, at the end of the day, I suggest that His Royal Highness resume the title of the former king and call him King Huai of Chu."

For what happened in the palace, Xiong Xin saw clearly and clearly in his heart.Xiang Liang, Yin Xu and Song Yi had a conflict, and he was happy to see it succeed, as long as he grasped it at the right time.

When the matter got to this point, Yin Xu's reason was very important. If he couldn't stand it, Song Yi would fight back.No matter who wants to end it smoothly, it will be difficult, this is not the result he wants to see.Xiong Xin sighed secretly, his eyes were full of expectation and he said: "General Yin, explain the reason, and see if it can convince the widow and all the ministers."

Yin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness is the grandson of King Huai, who has been living among the people for many years. His ministers speak boldly and lie, and many people don't know His Highness. After the Great Chu was King Kaolie, the royal family fought, the succession was chaotic, and Lord Chunshen , Li Yuan and others made disasters and disrupted the government, which gave the people of Qin an opportunity to take advantage of. When His Highness ascended the throne, he should clearly show his identity. Your Highness will be the basis for governing the country in the future."

"Of course, some people may say that His Highness only needs to announce the blood relationship to the world, and he can do the same. In fact, it is not the case, and the effect is completely different. Of course, King Huai was deceived by Zhang Yi of the Qin State and entered the palace alone. It is very embarrassing for Qin to pass away. When the body of King Huai returned to the country in the past, the people wept bitterly. There is a saying that everyone in Chu felt sorry for him, as if mourning a relative, which shows the prestige of King Huai among the people of Great Chu. "

Everyone nodded slightly. There was indeed some truth in Yin Xu's words, and still using the title of King Huai of Chu was indeed a good way to win back the hearts of the people.

Yin Xu continued: "In the past, Nangong said that Qin destroyed the six countries, and Chu was the most innocent. King Huai entered Qin and would not return, and the people of the country felt sorry for him. Therefore, although Chu has three families, Chu will be destroyed after Qin's death. Now His Highness ascends the throne and restores the country. , is fulfilling Nangong’s wish in the past, and it is also the wish of all the people of Great Chu. After His Highness ascended the throne, his first mission was to resist the tyranny of Qin. His Highness took the title of King Huai in order to inherit his prestige and follow the expectations of the people. So as to gain the support and support of the people.”

"When the common people know that they are avenging King Huai, they must go all out and unite as one to fight against the enemy. Besides, the title of the king is originally a posthumous title, which should have been decided after a hundred years. However, the situation is special at this time, so it is discussed here. Your Highness has not yet Ascending to the throne, the achievements will be world-class in the future, how can it be predicted today? So any other words are not suitable. The title of King Huai is different. It is His Highness's memory and longing for the county lieutenant, and his filial piety has moved the world. Therefore, General Mo boldly suggests that His Highness still use the title of King Huai of Chu."

"My heart is always for the sake of Great Chu and His Royal Highness, and I have never respected the former king. On the contrary, Song Lingyin insisted on thinking of my minister as a villain, so I felt blasphemous towards the former king and His Royal Highness. As a subject, my heart is the same. , It’s really wrong to say that you have such a rebellious idea!”

In the last sentence, he once again emphasized that he was innocent. It was Song Lingyin who had evil thoughts in his own heart, and he was also defined as treason.Song Yiqi's face was dark and blue, and his lips trembled and said: "I am loyal to Da Chu, Your Highness, please be careful!" He can only complain now, and he dare not refute Yin Xu's reasons casually.The prince Xiong Xin has not yet expressed his opinion, it is irrational to refute rashly, and he will be given a hat of trespassing if he is not high.

Yin Xu glanced at Song Yi, who looked gloomy and resentful, and his heart was full of disdain.Look at you like a bear, those who do great things don't show their emotions and anger, what can a person like you who gets angry at any time and uses tricks of villains do great things?Look at Liu Peigong, he always has a smiling face, which is far worse in comparison.

There may be many reasons for Yin Xu's impassioned words, but there is only one result.In fact, it is to use the compassion of the people of Chu State for King Huai of Chu, and to use his prestige to gain the recognition and support of the people.Although there is some truth, it is not very sufficient, but because of the face of Xiang Liang and Yin Xu, it is hard to say anything.

Some wise people back then had already seen that Yin Xu had already won.For example, Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang... But all of these have to wait for the prince Xiong Xin to make a decision. Only in this way can they be convincing.It's just that Xiong Xin is just a teenage doll after all. Although he looks at the young and mature, he doesn't know how mentally he can fully understand these words.

Yin Xu is not worried about this, he is speaking according to the history, although the history books have deviations, but the records of major events are almost the same.Escorting him all the way, he knew a lot about Xiong Xin, so he was still confident.He was sure that Xiong Xin would make a wise choice.

Just as Yin Xu thought, Xiong Xin was in a complicated mood.Although he was raised by the court, he has no direct blood relationship with the last few kings of Chu.The ascension to the throne has to pay attention to the truth and honesty. After all, King Huai of Chu has passed away for many years. How much recognition can he get when he ascends the throne as the grandson of King Huai?To be honest, he has no confidence.

I was just a cowherd boy before, but now I am the king of Chu, but the power is in the hands of these powerful officials.If one wants to have a place, one must gain the support of the people and the old ministers of the Chu State. It is indeed a good idea to still use the title of King Huai, and it can be regarded as borrowing the legacy of the ancestors.

Another point, even though Yin Xu mentioned it in one sentence, Xiong Xin could hear it.Jun Shen and Li Yuan are in trouble, hum!There have long been rumors among the people that Li Yan, Queen Kaolie, was Li Yuan's younger sister, and she was dedicated to Lord Chunshen before being sent to the palace.So much so that it was rumored that the son of King Kaolie was not the heir of the king, but the illegitimate son of Lord Chunshen.

Such rumors can't help but shame the royal family, and it is difficult for royal descendants of impure blood to get the support of old officials.He is the legitimate grandson of King Huai, not from the lineage of King Kaolie, so he must reveal his identity in order to set the record straight.As for standing against the same enemy, the words of anti-Qin Daye are all high-sounding reasons.You're right, it doesn't really work.

That's not the point. Yin Xu dared to point out the scandal of the royal family, and bluntly said that posthumous posthumous posthumous title was discussed, and his attitude was very firm.Xiong Xin understood that Yin Xu was forcing him to express his opinion.It doesn't matter which word is chosen as the king name, what matters is the game of strength behind it.In his opinion, Yin Xu is very smart. When "Wu" and "Rui" are on par, they refuse to give in to each other.Yin Xu chose a roundabout curve and threw out the word "Huai".The purpose is to shift the focus, suppress Song Yi, turn defeat into victory, and strive for interests.

Zhang Liang gave Yin Xu the hot potato, but Yin Xu threw it to Xiong Xin without hesitation, and asked him, as the prince, to make a choice.It is no longer a choice between "Rui" and "Wu", but a choice of whether to use the word "Huai".

Whether to use it or not, Xiang Liang and Song Yi will inevitably offend one of them. This is the last situation Xiong Xin wants to see at present, but the situation forces him to make a decision.

Xiong Xin was in a dilemma, sitting on the throne in silence, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.Xiang Liang controlled a large area of ​​land from Jiangdong all the way to Pengcheng. Wu Rui and Xiang Liang in Fanyi in the south were allies, not to mention the contribution of Yin Xu, which he had to rely on.

In contrast, Song Yi Jiangxia gathered [-] soldiers, and his territory is not small, but now he has come to Xuyi, which is Xiang Liang's territory... But he must not lose Song Yi's support, the Xiang family is dominant, It's not doing him any favors.It seems that some new support must be found, Xiong Xin looked up, his eyes fell on Peigong Liu Bang intentionally or unintentionally.

After a long time, Xiong Xin sighed secretly, and said: "What General Yin said is very true, I will still be called 'King Huai of Chu', revive the great Chu, and fulfill the unfulfilled wish of our ancestors."

Both Yin Xu and Xiang Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while Fan Zeng and Zhang Liang smiled knowingly.Everyone could see clearly that Xiang Liang and Song Yi had won a complete victory in this confrontation because of Yin Xu's sudden emergence.Song Yi's face became even more gloomy, his teeth trembling in anger,
Xiong Xin saw it in his eyes and said: "The widow said that I want to reward General Yin for his service in guarding the car. There is no need to wait. Now Yin Xu canonized as Marquis of Shaoxing, with [-] households in Shanyin, Kuaiji, the city of food."

Yin Xu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly bowed his head to thank him.Everyone showed envy. General Yin was only a weaker year, and he had already been enshrined as a marquis.It is also the first title conferred by King Xinhuai after the restoration of the Great Chu Kingdom, which is of great significance!
Xiong Xin said again: "Mr. Wu Xin, you rebelled against Qin and contributed a lot to the great cause of the restoration of the Great Chu. You can afford to go to the Zhu Kingdom."

Xiang Liang had these titles before, one was granted by Lu Chen through Chen Shengzhi's name, and the other was claimed by himself.Now speaking from Xiong Xin's mouth, it can be said that the name is true and well deserved.Xiang Liang was a little excited and went out to thank him.

"Liu Bang, you rebelled in Peixian County and made outstanding military exploits. I will grant Peixian County as a food town and let you be a veritable Duke of Pei."

Liu Bang was surprised for a while, but he didn't expect that good things would have his own share.With the approval of the King of Chu, there is no need to worry about being looked down upon in the future.Zhang Liang's mind turned, and he already understood Xiong Xin's intentions, and he was both happy and worried.

Xiong Xin finally turned his attention to Song Yi, who had a livid face, and said leisurely: "Song Lingyin is my veteran minister of the Great Chu, and he has always been loyal. Just now, he made a slip of the tongue because he cared for the widow. I will remember it in my heart, and named Song Lingyin as the general. Great Chu military affairs."

Song Yi was very surprised, after a long time, he got such a great favor.Ling Yinjia was the general who took charge of Chu's military affairs, that is to say, Xiang Liang, Yin Xu, and all the rebels in Chu were under his command.For a moment Song Yi quickly changed from a defeated rooster to a proud "fox".

Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng exchanged glances, which were instantly covered with worry.Yin Xu also sighed secretly, trying so hard to make such a game, it turned out to be such a result.Bear heart, bear heart!You little bastard is really good at cheating.

well!Yin Xu shook his head secretly, the joy in his heart was suddenly washed away.In the scorching summer, the Marquis of Shaoxing was particularly lost...
