At this moment, Yingdu.

Many days have passed, and after King Huai of Chu calmed down, he felt a little regretful.

It was all my fault for being impulsive and promising Xiong Wuliang to be awarded a marquis... As a result, the ministers did not object, and the random rewards that he was excited had come true.

The title of lord and the title of lord are completely different.

Since the founding of the State of Chu, it seems that it has not been a marquis. Anyway, King Huai of Chu racked his brains and could not remember that there had been such a precedent.

Although Xiong Wuliang's record of defeating the masses with a small number of numbers is shocking enough... but the famous officials of the ancestors made so many contributions, and they had many achievements in saving the country... I have never heard of any of them being named a real-powered marquis with fiefdom.

hiss.

Are you impulsive?

"King, the emperor asked for a meeting." An eunuch walked in and whispered.

King Huai of Chu nodded in annoyance.

Zhao Ju walked in. He was sophisticated that he just glanced at King Huai of Chu, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"What's wrong with the old imperial court?" King Huai of Chu asked.

Zhao Ju lowered her eyebrows and said, "King, the Marquis of Quyang will soon arrive in Yingdu."

King Huai of Chu did not answer, but sighed slightly.

After a long struggle, King Huai of Chu looked at Zhaoju: "Ling Yin, do you think my reward for Wu Liang is a bit too heavy?"

Zhao Ju said seriously: "Report to the king—"

"The old minister and the old minister had some grudges in private. These words should not be spoken by the old minister, but they should avoid suspicion..."

"But the king's decision is absolutely correct!"

"Since ancient times, those who have made meritorious titles and promotions are a proper meaning. The king set a precedent for Chu State and was intent on pioneering and enterprising, and he could also encourage civil and military officials and generals in the court and the country to work hard to serve the country."

Zhao Ju paused, observed the expression of the King of Chu, and said-

"Besides, Mr. Mi Liang is indeed extraordinary - even if the old minister is incompatible with him, he has to admit this fact!"

"From the talent perspective, this person's talent is not inferior to that of the king... As for the prince Mi Heng, I will say frankly that it is also far from Mr. Mi Liang."

Zhao Ju sighed quietly: "If Quyang Hou was born in person by the king, he is the most suitable candidate for the next King of Chu!"

The corners of King Huai of Chu's mouth twitched slightly.

Zhao Ju seemed to realize it later and quickly bowed to apologize: "I have lost my words..."

Just when Zhao Ju was complacent, she never thought that the King of Chu gave out a long breath and said relaxedly: "Fortunately, I know Wu Liang, and I know that he is a person who has no ambitions and is devoted to wealth..."

"Otherwise, I will be really worried at this time!" A fierce smile appeared on the fat face of the King of Chu.

Zhao Ju's head was buzzing with anger.

Mi Huai, you are so stupid! Why don’t you become a good person?

It seems that if you want to alienate King Chu and Xiong Wuliang, it will take a long time to go... and then I will praise you! I still don't believe it. Sooner or later, labor and capital will arouse the King of Chu's suspicion of Xiong Wuliang!

...

Xiong Wuliang rode the iconic bronze car and took Zhong Hua, Shao Hu, Zhao Hua and other close friends to Yingdu.

As for Qu Yuan, he still stayed in the fiefdom and worked overtime hard.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw Xiong Wuliang's carriage and flag from afar, and bowed to the ground and saluted: "Greetings to the Marquis of Quyang, congratulations to the Marquis of Quyang!"

After Xiong Wuliang and his party entered the city, they headed straight to the palace.

After a palace banquet, King Huai of Chu naturally praised Xiong Wuliang's great military achievements that shocked the world. Even Zhao Ju led a group of court officials to praise Xiong Wuliang one after another.

Xiong Wuliang was confused.

I don’t know what medicine is sold in this Zhaoju gourd?

As the banquet was approaching, King Huai of Chu waved his sleeves: "My good nephew, please live in Yingdu first, and wait for the ceremony of title to the marquis!"

"You are the first minister in my great Chu to be granted a marquis for his merits. I will definitely do something for you!"

"If my brother Wang has a spirit in the sky, I must be very relieved..." King Huai of Chu sighed again and again, and his eyes looked at Xiong Wuliang very gentle, as if he was remembering Xiong Wei who fought for his country.

Seeing King Huai of Chu heartlessly looking at Xiong Wuliang, Zhao Ju, who was hiding aside, was so angry that her eyes were filled with stars...

...

There were many people with Xiong Wuliang, so of course he could not sleep in the palace of Prince Mi Heng as before. Xiong Wuliang led everyone to stay in the inn.

Just as Xiong Wuliang was covering his drunken head and was dizzy on the bed in the inn, he suddenly heard screams and scolding from outside.

"Where is Xiong Wuliang? Let him come out to see my young master!"

"My young master said - don't look at the crap Quyang Marquis he is going to be awarded the title, the young master is not afraid of him!"

"Ask him, do you dare to gesture with my son?"

Xiong Wuliang was confused when he heard the vague cry coming from outside.

Not to mention that I am very popular in Chu State, at least I am at the peak of my life.

Who dares to come to the door to smash his own place?

Zhong Hua hurried in and bowed to Xiong Wuliang and said, "The Lord is Zhao Kong, the youngest son of the Yin Zhaoju family, who is shouting outside and saying that he wants to compete with you."

Xiong Wuliang was already dizzy. At this moment, he heard that he was an unknown junior coming to clamor, and he couldn't be interested. He was too lazy to show up even when he showed up. He turned over and fell asleep.

...

Zhao Kong is Zhaoju's eldest grandson. He is not very old and only eight years old. Relying on his noble status and is surrounded by elders, he has always been rampant in Yingdu. He is an absolute naughty child.

As a junior of the Zhao clan, Zhaokong has heard of the grudges and hatreds between his elders and Xiong Wuliang.

Especially the incident of "Zhao Ju losing his ancestral bronze cart by betting" made all the people of the Zhao clan feel ashamed and deeply hated Xiong Wuliang.

Zhao Kong was not old. When he heard that Xiong Wuliang, a traitor and evil thief, returned to Yingdu, he wanted to see what this shameless person looked like. He called on several Zhao family soldiers around him who had always obeyed his words and came to the city gate to wait for Xiong Wuliang.

As a result, Xiong Wuliang was witnessed riding a bronze car and returning to Yingdu in a swagger.

Zhao Kong watched Xiong Wuliang sit on the bronze cart that was once regarded as the treasure of the family. He was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices, and his little face as big as a palm was flushing red!

After I went back, I became more and more angry! I almost burst into tears!

Why is he so arrogant?

I don't allow anyone who is more arrogant than me!

Until night fell, Zhao Kong's fire did not disappear. He actually ordered a few evil servants to accompany him and rushed to the inn to provoke Xiong Wuliang.

Now that I have been yelling for a long time, no one answered.

Zhao Kong had never been so angry? He instructed several evil servants and scolded him even more... In order to please the spoiled young master, those evil servants also acted desperately. They shouted for nearly an hour, and their voices were hoarse.

When Zhong Hua and others saw that they were little kids, they were too lazy to care about him, so they simply went back to their room to rest, leaving Zhaokong and a few evil servants to clamor in the yard.

"Young Master, we have been scolding for a long time, and that damn Xiong Wuliang won't come out!"

"It must be that they are afraid of your daimyo and dare not show up!"

"Our young master is the eldest grandson of the Ling Yin family. I guess Xiong Wuliang was so scared that he hid in the quilt and cried!"

...

Several evil servants came close to Zhao Kong, smiling like chrysanthemums, and flattered the latter one after another.
