#历史故事 #
The princes of the whole world were stunned to see that the Chu State had actually destroyed the two most trustworthy younger brothers, Chen Guo and Cai Guo! But no one wanted to be nosy, because Jin Guo didn't care either. The State of Jin believes that the State of Chu is doing this purely to death: if he actually destroys his own henchmen, then who will really mix with your State of Chu in the future?
But the Chu Ling King didn't care about these things at all. What he cared about was that only by constantly showing the military strength of the Chu State to the world could he prove that the Chu State was the real boss of the jianghu.
Externally, it was necessary to constantly use troops to establish prestige, but at that time, it was a general environment of world peace, and the reason for the crusade against the princes of the Central Plains could not be found, and the Wu kingdom often suffered losses.
Let's strengthen our armaments. King Chu Ling thought.
Therefore, king Chu Ling ordered that the manpower, material and financial resources of the whole country be gathered to build cities in Chen County, Cai County, Bu Tang, and Lai County, and further integrate the original strategic areas of FangCheng. Alas, in the context of world peace, all countries are stepping up the development of production, recuperation, and accumulation of strength, but our comrade King Chu Ling is still engaged in military construction, and the people of the Chu state are miserable.
In this way, the King of Chu Ling not only squandered the savings of King Zhuang, Gong, and Kang, but also caused the people's resentment to boil. Many people were cursing the Chu Ling King: Why doesn't this guy die yet?
King Chu Ling ordered the large-scale construction of the royal palace, he built a new luxurious palace called Zhanghua Palace, according to historical records, the entire palace covers an area of forty miles, the middle of the construction of Zhanghua Platform, thirty feet high, one inch eight feet, about three meters, this platform is nearly 100 meters high! This should be the world landmark building at that time, the first highest platform in spring and autumn!
It is said that from the bottom of the stage to the top, the average person has to rest three times on the way, so it is also known as the three rest platforms. It is conceivable that in the era when there was no elevator, if you want to go up to a vertical 100-meter high platform, three breaks may still be considered first-class physical fitness. A large number of pavilions and pavilions have been built around Zhanghuatai, which are extremely exquisite.
Why was this platform built? King Chu Ling believed that only by demonstrating the strong national strength of the Chu State could the princes of the world be subjugated! Therefore, after the high platform was built, the King of Chu Ling thought of sending a notice to let the princely states appreciate such magnificent buildings.
After that, it was here that he received pilgrimages from the various princely states. King Chu Ling thought so.
Why did you build Zhanghua Palace? At that time, when King ChuLing proposed to build such a building, many ministers in the court expressed their opposition. However, King Chu Ling's brain was very good, and he said to everyone, "The construction of Zhanghua Palace is not for the pleasure of Bugu, but for the gathering of talents." Now the Chu state is strong, but the shortage of talents, the construction of this palace, is to let the exiles of all countries know that the Chu state has a Zhanghua Palace, everyone has no place to go, you can go there. Bu Gu will find talents in the Zhanghua Palace. ”
King Chu Ling ordered that all fugitives from all countries could come to Zhanghua Palace! Oh, by the way, the fugitives in the Chu Kingdom can also be accepted.
This is equivalent to amnesty! Oh, your own fugitive from Chu Kingdom, once you escape to Zhanghua Palace, you are not considered a fugitive, and you have become a human?
So, one day, a Chu state who had committed a crime fled into The Zhanghua Palace in order to escape the pursuit. No one knows how he escaped into the luxurious palace, but historical records record the story of the doctor Shen Wuyu's debate with the King of Chu Ling in order to hunt down the criminal.
At that time, the person in charge of arresting the criminal was the doctor Shin Wuyu. Shen Wuyu saw that the criminals had fled into the Zhanghua Palace, and directly led the team to rush into the palace and arrest the prisoners.
This was a perfectly normal thing, but the guards of Zhanghua Palace had nothing to do, because the King of Chu Ling stipulated that all those who entered Zhanghua Palace were Chu talents and should be treated with courtesy. Now that someone has entered the palace, but he has actually been arrested, is this not a violation of the rules of the king?
Therefore, at the sound of an order, the palace guards surrounded Shen Wuyu and the others. Not only did he surround him, but when he saw Shen Wuyu screaming and scolding there, he simply arrested him.
King Chu Ling saw that the guards had captured Shen Yuyu to see him, and he was happy: this Shen Wuyu had finally crashed into his own door.
This Shen Wuyu was also a cattle man in the history of the Chu Kingdom, because he had taught a harsh lesson to the Chu Ling King, who was still only Yin Xiongwei at that time.
Xiong Wei was in charge of Yin Shi and acted in a high-profile manner. He "borrowed" the King of Chu to leave the palace for his own use, and "borrowed" the costumes and hats of the King of Chu for his own use, all of which were equivalent to the specifications of the King of Chu.
Once during a hunt, Xiong Wei's carriage hung 12 long streamers, which were the size of the Chu King's carriage. The rule of the Chu state is that according to the rank, the king of Chu can use 12 streamers, and the length is also the longest. The others use 9, 7, and 5 to determine the number of streamers according to the corresponding levels, and everyone looks at the streamers on the carriage and knows what level of figure is sitting. According to the regulations, Xiong Wei can only use 9 streamers, but he used 12 carriages on the hunting grounds.
Shen Wuyu saw it, and couldn't help but say that he rushed up, ripped off three of them, and then, with a knife, cut the length of the streamer to Ling Yin's specifications. Before Xiong Wei could get angry, Shen Wuyu lectured, "I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick, do you dare to sit in the great king's carriage?" ”
At that time, although Xiong Wei was red in the face by Shen Wuyu's lesson in front of everyone, he also felt that Shen Wuyu's move was also a warning and reminder to himself, so he did not think too much about it. King Chu Ling was a mischievous person, but one thing was good, that is, his heart was not narrow. He didn't care about Shen Wuyu, nor did he care about the wearing seals that had robbed prisoners of war with him, but instead thought that they were straight and worth reusing.
And now seeing that Shen Wuyu was caught in front of him, King Chu Ling was really happy: "Hey, how did Dr. Shen get caught?" ”
The guards of Zhanghua Palace told the cause and effect of the matter, and King Chu Ling deliberately raised his face and said, "Doctor Shen, this is what is wrong with you, Bu Gu just ordered that you want to use Zhanghua Palace to collect talents from all over the world, how can you run to the palace to 'arrest people'?" ”
Shen Wuyu said, "Great King, the minister only knows that it is wei chen's duty to arrest prisoners." At the beginning, King Wen of Zhou stipulated that if a prisoner fled, he should go around and arrest him. But whoever breaks the law, even if the prisoner goes to heaven and earth, but all the subjects are in one breath, the subjects are bound to hunt them down to the end.
The minister also knows that it is the responsibility of the minister to maintain our Great Chu Fadu. King Wen of the Great Chu Dynasty said that harboring fugitives and stolen goods is the same crime as thieves. Now that the prisoners have entered the Zhanghua Palace, they have been protected, and the minister believes that the people who protect the prisoners should also be arrested, which is the law of our Great Chu.
Now that the prisoners had been taken by the courtiers, the courtiers asked the king to be the master and hand over the prisoners to the courtiers to take away. ”
After all, the King of Chu Ling was choked up by Shen Wuyu at this time, and he wanted to tease Shen Wuyu, but he was fiercely ridiculed by Shen Wuyu: Because Zhang Hua Palace was originally the place where King Chu Ling accepted exiles, now not only was Shen Wuyu doing a good job, but he actually wanted to arrest and shelter the criminals!
Who is this cover-up? If the criminal was protected because he entered the Zhanghua Palace, wouldn't it be King Chu Ling himself? King Khan of Chu Ling came, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Doctor Shen don't talk about it, you should take the prisoner away quickly, what is the cover-up of the prisoner, what is the matter." ”
In this way, Zhang Huagong's so-called plan to admit exiles was declared bankrupt, because all the exiles were either prisoners in the Chu state or prisoners from other countries. Well, since the Zhanghua Palace can't accept exiles, let's go back to The Valley as a palace.
This is the King of Chu Ling, acting spontaneously, doing whatever he wants, recklessly, doing his own thing. And his spontaneous behavior, many of which have been recorded in the historical record, are simply unbelievable.
There is a poem "King Wu is a good swordsman, and the people are sore." The king of Chu had a thin waist, and many people starved to death in the palace. "This King of Chu refers to the King of Chu Ling."
King Chu Ling himself was tall and tall, but he preferred people with thin waists, not only the concubines and palace ladies of his own palace were thin waists, but even for the palace guards and civil and military courtiers, they always measured the waist and used it. As a result, in order to please the Chu Ling King, many people tied their waists tightly, and even the atmosphere could not breathe.
In order to make their waist thinner, many people continue to lose weight, eat only one meal a day and do not touch the oil. As a result, many people starved out of severe stomach problems, many people were thin and weak due to malnutrition, and many people finally died in the constant pursuit of the pleasure of losing weight.
Historical records record that some ministers, because of their extremely weak body, had to grasp the rut pole to get off the car normally, and if they wanted to stand up, they had to stand up a little bit against the wall to stand up.
