Chapter 302: The Great Qin State Wants Congratulations from All Sides
Late December of the eighth year of Chengping.
The State of Chu held a national mourning.
Crown Prince Mi Sheng succeeded to the throne and became emperor.
According to the will left by Mi Xiong before his death.
Xiang Chao, Wu Qi and Huang Xie were appointed as regent ministers.
In fact, logically speaking, even if Xiang Chao is now the head of the Xiang family.
He is also not qualified to serve as the regent.
However, in the Chu State today, Huang Xie's family is the only one in power.
Among the civil officials, it is difficult to find an opponent who can compete with him.
Covering the sky with one hand would threaten the rule of the Chu royal family.
Among the military generals, although Wu Qi fought many battles, he was ultimately defeated by the Qin State.
It would be difficult to compete with Huang Xie without prestige and achievements.
So at this time, Xiang Chao was promoted.
Of course, Mi Xiong was also forced to do so. Otherwise, how could he allow the powerful Xiang family to take control of the court?
Mi Sheng, who was only fourteen years old, sat on the throne and enjoyed the moment of worship from all officials.
It really does feel like I'm floating in the air.
However, when he thought about the reality, he soon became worried.
Especially when he saw Huang Xie's extremely serious expression from time to time, he subconsciously felt it.
This old guy won’t kill me, right?
Anyway.
Mi Sheng still sat on the throne.
He spoke to the ministers of Chu:
"Qin will hold an imperial conference next spring. I have just ascended the throne and must maintain friendly relations with all the nations and rest with the people."
"Therefore, I plan to go to Qin State to participate in the Imperial Conference in early March."
As soon as the words fell.
The ministers were in an uproar.
More than half of the officials looked at Huang Xie at this moment.
After a while.
When Mi Sheng saw that no one responded to his words, he became depressed and secretly clenched his fists.
What could be more insulting than having the emperor's words ignored?
At this time, Huang Xie slowly said: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne, and there are many things to do at home."
"Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, so it's better not to go."
As he spoke, he had already left his standing position and slowly walked towards the steps, approaching the emperor.
When all the civil and military officials saw this scene, they were all shocked.
Xiang Chao was just about to say something.
But Wu Qi grabbed her wrist tightly, and then he lowered his voice and said:
"Rather than arguing at this time, there will be no good results for us."
Xiang Chao looked around.
However, although all the officials showed an incredible expression, no one stopped them.
It can be seen that they all believed that this kind of thing should happen, but it should not happen when the young emperor just ascended the throne.
Thinking of this, Xiang Chao couldn't help but shiver.
Mi Sheng was extremely frightened.
He held the dagger tightly in his sleeve.
He secretly swore in his heart that if the other party dared to do anything disloyal, he would draw his sword and stab the other party without hesitation.
In fact, he wanted to go to Qin State with a certain purpose.
He wanted to see Mi Yue, the aunt who loved him the most, and beg her to ask the State of Qin to send someone to help him rule the country.
Now the entire Tai'an is Huang Xie's people.
It is almost impossible to send a letter.
Not to mention sending anyone there.
Therefore, Mi Sheng could only think of attending the imperial conference.
Gradually.
Huang Xie stood in front of Mi Xiong, patted his shoulder, and noticed the subtle movement of his wrist, and smiled:
"You are His Majesty, and I am your subject. You should not be afraid. I...will always be a subject of the State of Chu."
Then, he slowly turned around, looked at the ministers, and said seriously:
"I know very well that the vast majority of you are afraid of the Qin State, but fear is useless."
"Does fear mean we should forget our national humiliation and curry favor with Qin?"
"For our Chu State, participating in the Imperial Conference is an act of losing power and humiliating the nation."
"The previous emperor died in Qin, and the new emperor ascended the throne. As his subjects, we should protect His Majesty's safety."
"Now, what we should do most is to train our soldiers and form a new army that can protect the State of Chu."
"Your humble servant... Huang Xie is willing to serve as the commander of the new army. For the great Chu, I will sacrifice my life for you without hesitation!"
Speaking of this.
Huang Xie bowed deeply to Mi Sheng.
While the former was speaking.
Mi Sheng's heart was filled with anger and he wanted to pull out his dagger and kill Huang Xie more than once.
But reason told him that if one less Huang Xie who could not distinguish between loyalty and treachery was found, there might be another Huang Xie who was extremely treacherous and evil!
So, he held back.
After hearing Huang Xie's words.
All officials changed color.
Because everyone knew that Huang Xie was going to take control of both military and political affairs.
Wu Qi said in a deep voice, "If the Prime Minister knew about military affairs, our Chu State would not have suffered such a great defeat."
"Training new soldiers is a top priority, but it's not something the Prime Minister should be doing."
Huang Xie turned around, looked at Wu Qi, straightened his back, stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"From what General Wu said, he wants to shift the blame for the defeat of the Chu army against the Qin State onto me?"
Wu Qi frowned.
What the other party meant was simply that if anyone was to be blamed for the defeat of the Chu State, it could only be blamed on the generals headed by Wu Qi.
Xiang Chao gnashed his teeth and said, "A scholar in charge of the military is unprecedented in history. Your Excellency, are you determined to set a precedent?"
When Mi Sheng saw the other two regents attacking Huang Xie, he suddenly felt a lot of courage and said:
