At this time, the guards had already scattered. Apart from the beautiful boy, there were only some confidants from Lin Wujun who were serving them.

Linwu Jun was not a vassal king, but he was also a powerful aristocrat. The seventy or eighty vassal kings of Chu were all top aristocrats of Chu. Even when Linwu Jun was not a vassal king, he was not far from the top aristocratic circle.

In theory, he was a beneficiary of military merits and a beneficiary of King Chu's reform. Otherwise, how could he be granted the title of Linwu?

However, once he climbed to the position of Fengjun, his attitude would be completely different from when he was not Fengjun.

Now the nobles of the entire Chu State are opposing reforms, believing that this is "conspiracy against morality, good at using weapons, retrograde the way of heaven, and violate the laws of ancestors."

Of course, the little nobles and scholars wanted to reform, but their power was not strong enough. The really powerful ones were the royal families, Qu, Jing, Zhao and other big families.

Many nobles whose fiefs were originally in the Jinghua area were forced to migrate to the border. If it were a place like Linwujun, if the Mohist family had not developed it in the South China Sea and made it an important trade transfer station, there would have been a gold mine in the nearby mountains, his life would not have been easy.

From the perspective of Chu State, doing so can indeed increase the power of Chu State, enable the border areas to be expanded, the troops will be expanded, and the central power and wealth will be strengthened.

But the State of Chu is not a single person, but a gathering of countless people with their own interests. Whoever has the interests of the move will bite people.

Originally, the nobles were looking forward to lobbying Prince Zang, but Prince Zang's status as a prince originated from his father rather than from these nobles, so they must follow the King of Chu, obey their words and firmly support the reform.

The King of Chu was seriously ill a while ago but did not die. After he was cured, many nobles began to move.

On the one hand, it is said that the prince Zang cannot have children, and it may lead to the disaster of Xiao Yun in the future. Not to mention the distance, but to say that the nearest thing is, the rebellion of Zhao State was not caused by brothers and brothers. Isn’t the rebellion of the five princes in Qi State also because of the young and chaotic chaos? The Chu State itself also had a war of inheritance rights, and the prince’s decision was vivid, so the nobles hope that the King of Chu could think about it again.

On the other hand, the nobles turned their attention to the prince's good husband. This prince who could not become the prince of the King of Chu unless Prince Zang was unexpected, became their target.

This time, the prince's good husband was very strange and strange to patrol the border for the king.

Many people think that this seems to be a signal, which means that this may be because the king has the intention to replace the prince.

Some people also think that this may be just a deliberate misjudgment in order to suppress the nobles who oppose reforms and give them an illusion, not let them mess with each other, and give them an illusion of putting their hopes on the next King of Chu.

But regardless of whether it is true or false, many nobles began to contact Prince Liangfu, either half-covering or directly opposing reforms in public.

The King of Chu was helpless, and he would arrest anyone who opposed the reform? If he had such centralized power, what would he do? The worst thing that the Mohist family gave back then might be to achieve the rebellion of half of the Chu State. The King of Chu might not be able to get out of this cruelty.

Furthermore, the external environment of Chu State does not allow it. Chu State is not Qin State, so Wu Qi, Shengchuo and others can use the most violent way to reform.

Originally, when the Mo-Chu Alliance was still alive, we could still use the slogan of "Reform to benefit all people" to request the Mo family to send troops. However, after the alliance four years ago, the slogan of the Mo family was a bit scary, and the King of Chu began to retreat, fearing that something big would happen if it continued.

The nobles are deeply rooted in the internal areas and are far from being able to deal with them by a single king. With the external environment, all countries are eyeing each other, the Chu State dare not learn from Qin State, defend the Luo River and Wei River, and have a vigorous change. Whoever opposes will be killed, and they are in the name of tyranny.

Under such circumstances, the prince and good husband suddenly had to patrol the border, and many nobles had to have many ideas.

Xiong Liangfu himself gave the example of Shen Gong Wu Chen, which was actually catering to Lin Wu Jun's words. Shen Gong Wu Chen wanted Xia Ji but was unable to do so, so he rebelled; but why didn't these nobles want their hereditary power and hereditary fiefs?

The balance between kings and nobles is difficult to grasp, especially when the Mohist theories spread throughout the world.

If the people are strong and the scholars are strong, they will think of curbing the royal power and making it a symbol.

If a nobleman is strong, he will think about continuing to divide the feudal system and taking the path of the Little Western Zhou Dynasty.

Once this balance is not done well, it is easy to get into trouble. The former is easily bewitched and used by the Mo family, causing the rebellion of the Song State more than 20 years ago; the latter is a situation that the monarch did not want to see. The Zhou emperor is now over. If the Chu State becomes a small Western Zhou Dynasty, it will not take long to be completely destined to be dignified.

Xiong Liangfu had no intention of competing for the throne because his brother was better than himself in terms of origin and popularity.

But with the undercurrents of the political situation in Chu State under the suppression of several victories and the support of the nobles, Xiong Liangfu naturally had a different idea.

Without the support of the nobles, the throne will not be stable. How many people who are loyal to the country like Ye Gongzigao were willing to retire after success?

The nobles were actually more anxious. After the appropriate reforms, the King of Chu greatly expanded the number of royal troops. The originally elite Che Guang also trained a powerful cavalry and chariot soldiers, plus the artillery under the jurisdiction of the royal power, which made the nobles increasingly feel threatened.

If the King of Chu fails to die, he naturally dares not rebel.

But the King of Chu will die one day. Every time the delay is, the power of the royal power will increase by one point, and the greater the threat to their interests.

It’s okay for Linwu Jun to be on the frontier, but even on the frontier, Wang Quan has already begun to reach here.

Originally, according to the rules, the taxes at the pass belonged to the monarch, but the royal power began to directly govern the taxes at the level.

Originally, according to the rules, the monarch only needed to fulfill the feudal obligation of sending troops. The fiefdom itself was used as its own salary, but there were rumors that the fiefdom's monarchs would immediately require the fiefdom to pay a certain amount of military tax every year.

This was not the case in the past. The previous military system determined that a few elite soldiers under the royal power were directly under the jurisdiction of the royal power, and the private soldiers of the nobles could be the main force of the war.

When going to war, it is enough to directly recruit people, but the cost is not much.

But since the Chu army was reformed, the royal army directly belonged to the King of Chu has adopted a long-term training method.

Military uniforms, muskets, gunpowder, swords, bronze cannons, tents... all of this is looking towards Si Shang. The war a few years ago has proved the strength of Si Shang's military system.

But...this is made of money.

Si Shang paid salaries and forced service, and replaced military nobles with full-time officers. They did not grant land, but paid money, because they could buy almost anything but land in Si Shang.

The King of Chu didn't have that much money and still owed a large amount of usury to the merchants in the Si Shang area, but he had not paid it back yet.

However, the King of Chu had land, so he needed to let the Fengjun roll to the border and give up the land close to the capital to master this elite royal army. This is the contradiction.

As for the remaining cotton, muskets, swords, etc., they all need money to buy them. It is not enough to collect military levies, and the old craftsmen cannot do many things.

This requires money, who will pay for it? You can't snatch it from the elite king's hands. The King of Chu still understands the most powerful ones.

It is even more unreasonable to learn from the Mohist family to engage in official business. The Mohist family's goods were sold around the Yangtze River, and even if the Chu State did it, it would not be possible.

If you want to have a salt franchise, it requires centralization. Now that the lords are everywhere and the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is simply unrealistic.

So the King of Chu wanted to pick money from Fengjun, but Fengjun understood what the money was used for... It was to train the army. Once the number increased a little, the next step was to collect power, and they were even less willing to exchange their money for lead bullets shot at them in the future.

It can be said that the change of the King of Chu was really "angry and resentful to the people". The nobles were extremely dissatisfied, and the entire Yingdu was on the verge of turmoil.

At this time, the prince and good husband who had always been friends with the nobles suddenly made their way to the tour, which made many nobles think a lot.

Linwu Jun also received letters from other vassals before, and many of them were secretly connected. If the list was listed, they would be county officials with real power and fiefdoms.

Xiong Liangfu was also a person who had received royal education. How could he not know that working with the nobles is to seek skin with the tiger? However, the water has been disturbed. He had no ambitions at first, and gradually developed ambitions that he shouldn't have.

Moreover, in his opinion, this time when he went on tour, my father was afraid that he had given up on him and threw him out as bait so that the nobles would no longer object to it, because if there was still a little chance, it would be difficult to turn against him.

If the nobles support him, they can interact with him in Yingdu. The nobles are not officials, but nobles with their own fiefdoms and soldiers. There are many things that the monarchs can't control.

Of course, Xiong Liangfu knew that these nobles were using him, but why didn’t he want to use these nobles to put pressure on his father?

If his brother really cannot give birth and he has received support from the nobles, Xiong Liangfu feels that his father will have to consider the matter behind him.

Now there is a great chaos in the Song Dynasty. The Mohist doctrine spread all over the world, and the feudal system can still be the King of Chu. However, if the Mohist people incite the people to rebel, they may be killed. If the nobles exert some pressure in this case, Xiong Liangfu believes that his father may also make another choice.

If his father really uses him to prevent the nobles from jumping around for the time being, then he will just show his attitude to the nobles.

His elder brother also made a choice at the beginning, and they must have a choice to stand with their father, because if the elder brother did not stand with his father at the beginning, he would naturally stand.

Chen Cai was pacified, Cangwu was successful in Dongting, and the new army was growing more and more. As the prince's elder brother, he showed his attitude first, and he would useless to make it clear.
