Chapter 1623 Three households in Chu!
Although the sound was dull, it made everyone startle and they immediately did not dare to make noise.
"Master."
"Sir, you are here."
Seeing Wang Kang, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Such group incidents are the most difficult to deal with. Just as this person said just now, so many people gathered and were all ordinary people. Can they kill them all in one breath?
Of course it is impossible.
Normally, it takes a lot of process and time to bury the emperor.
Although Wang Kang allowed them to pay their condolences and held a ceremony, the time was given less than one day.
This is also the reason that inspired their turmoil.
Wang Kang looked at the more than ten people in front of him. They should be the main initiators, and they were smart. They didn't dare to look for him directly. Instead, they took advantage of such an occasion to make him afraid of his own.
These people have one common characteristic, which is that they are old and should be in their sixties. In this era, they are definitely old, but they cannot see their old age, they are well maintained and extremely noble...
These people are all nobles, and they are not ordinary nobles!
The State of Chu itself is a country where nobility is supreme, and the foundation of the feudal system is actually the aristocratic system!
Dugu Xin was in the upper pillar country and controlled the troops of the country. Is he a noble?
In fact, they are not real nobles.
There are three major surnames in Da Chu, and they are also three top aristocratic families, namely Zhao, Qu and Jing.
If we want to trace the details, these three surnames are older than Xiang, and many times they have been given the title of rulings, doctors, generals, poets, etc.
In this era, literacy and literature were a luxury in itself, and this situation was even more serious in Chu State.
These three surnames can control cultural education, which is to put it bluntly control the powerful group of Shiqing...
They have a very powerful force in the Great Chu and occupy a lot of resources, so there is also the saying of the Three Houses of Chu!
At its peak, it was able to overwhelm the royal family.
Once a certain generation of Emperor Chu appointed wise ministers and implemented reforms to make the people live in peace, the military was strong, and the great Chu was revived!
But in this process, it greatly touched the interests of the nobles.
The death of the Emperor Chu who supported him was also at the funeral of the Emperor Chu. These nobles began to attack and cruelly executed the wise minister, causing the reform to end!
This matter is called a ridiculous reform.
This extremely ironic title is enough to tell everything...
It seems that they have a purpose and specifically choose at such a time.
This is also the case in recent years, Xiang Lintian succeeded to the throne, continued to suppress, appointed Dugu Xin, and appointed Ji Wuchang. Despite this, the middle-level Shiqing class is still controlled by the three major families...
After gathering the information in his mind, his thoughts flashed through him. Wang Kang looked at these people and asked with a smile: "Everyone, what are your demands?"
"You are Wang Kang?"
"Bold, can you call the name of the handsome man directly?"
Lin Zhen immediately scolded him, but these people didn't care.
The old man in charge spoke, "I am Qu Qingxiong, from the Qu family."
"Qu Qingxiong, head of the Qu family, you are a real big shot. You haven't been out for a long time. Why did you come out today?
Wang Kang directly told his message. In the past few days in the palace, he did not do anything, but was lying on these families, court officials, etc.
He knew all the important people!
In Da Chu, Qu Qingxiong is definitely a leader of the nobles...
"I am a big shot, no official position, but the Great Chu has reached this point and is about to be destroyed. I can't do it if I don't come out."
Qu Qingxiong said, with a compassionate expression.
Wang Kang couldn't help but sneer. This old guy pretended to be a good person.
"Mr. Wang, the State of Chu went to war with the Six-Nation Alliance you formed. This is a battle for hegemony on the mainland. You can't tell who is right or wrong. As the saying goes, the king will succeed, the enemy will lose, and this is normal."
Qu Qingxiong said, "In this war, we have paid enough price. I think the Chu Emperor committed suicide, which is enough to satisfy you. Although I am not optimistic, he is the Chu Emperor after all, and this country needs to continue..."
"We can accept defeat or accept the conditions you have proposed, and we can negotiate the cedes of land and compensation. We have only one requirement to end all this and let the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor succeed to the throne!"
"Yes, we can accept defeat, and it is normal to cede land compensation."
There is one that agrees.
This person is not young, and his name is Jing Zhaoxing. He is the Jing family of three major families!
"Mr. Wang, my husband Zhao Yuanting, we hope you can seriously consider our proposal."
He is the head of the Zhao family.
It is rare to see the heads of the three major families appear together.
Wang Kang looked around and looked at the crowds around him. He had reason to believe that this was a premeditated incident. Among the crowd, there should be many of them...
"Mr. Wang?"
Qu Qingxiong was a little dissatisfied with Wang Kang Zusi, and he asked, "I don't know what we suggest, how do you feel?"
"I want to ask a question, are you sure you have your words?"
Wang Kang said, "Why can you represent the State of Chu?"
"snort!"
Qu Qingxiong said lightly: "If our three major families cannot represent the Great Chu, then no one can replace them."
"yes!"
"That's right."
The other two heads of the family also agreed, with a proud look on their faces!
This is the confidence. If it were an ordinary person, who would dare to say such things?
Now, the Great Chu royal family has overturned, and they are indeed able to represent and have sufficient qualifications.
"It seems that you are very patriotic?"
Wang Kang asked back.
"That's natural!"
Jing Zhaoxing spoke, "Of course we are all dedicated to the Great Chu!"
"Yeah?"
Wang Kang said, "As far as I know, the Great Chu faces war, and it is difficult for the whole day. The military supplies are extremely short of a huge gap. Xiang Lintian had no choice but to sell official positions and titles to raise money. However, you three big families have rich families, but they did not take out a penny or donate a grain of rice!"
"Is this what you call patriotism?"
Wang Kang's words made the three people look extremely unnatural.
Obviously, it was about their pain point, which was fact, not false.
"Why don't you talk?"
Wang Kang said coldly: "Do you guys do it for the sake of Da Chu or for yourself? Don't you know whether you are?"
"Xiang Lintian suppressed you three nobles several times, even more serious than the ridiculous reform that year. You dare not speak out, you wish Xiang Lintian would die quickly, so that no one could suppress you, right?"
Qu Qingxiong was obviously anxious.
"Mr. Wang, these things..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Kang.
"Xiang Yu has not officially participated in the government affairs yet and is not yet full of strength. If he succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably become your puppet. This is your real purpose, and it is not!"
Wang Kang's tone was extremely cold...
