Dressed as a young King Zhuang of Chu

The couple of bears got bored watching Fuxiu and became listless for two consecutive days.You Meng guessed that he probably had an awkward fight with Guan Fuxiu, and he didn't dare to talk casually. Every day when Xiong Lu was free, he would play interesting plays for him.Even so, the bear lover still seems to be preoccupied.

On this day, Xiong Lu went down to court, and Zifan was already waiting for him at the door of the bedroom with a smile on his face. When he saw Xiong Lu, he said happily: "Brother, let's go hunting. Zifan has got a good horse recently, why don't you go and see?" look?"

Xiong Lu was depressed these two days and was about to refuse, but You Meng said: "Your Majesty, you are not busy with political affairs these few days, why don't you take this opportunity to go for a walk in the suburbs of the city? Ameng is willing to follow."

Zifan winked at Youmeng and said, "It's better, Ah Meng, who is considerate and knowledgeable. Zifan has a lot of good horses. Wait for brother to pick first, and then it will be your turn when brother finishes picking. Zifan will be the last to pick."

You Meng smiled and said, "Then thank you, Young Master, for your side."

Seeing Xiong Lu standing motionless, Zi Fan didn't know what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what are you thinking? You're so preoccupied, should you go or not? Let Zi Fan stand here and wait." !"

Xiong Lu said: "Okay, let's go, I will change my clothes and come out."

The cold spring is expected to be cold. Although the new year has passed and the weather has warmed up, it is still cold.It was a little sunny today, but it quickly became cloudy, which was unpredictable.Fortunately, however, it does not look like it will rain.

The three of them changed into ordinary people's clothes, and rode along the widest street in Yingdu, galloping all the way.Fortunately, today is not a festival, and there are not many people on the street.Zifan was so arrogant, he galloped all the way, almost ran into a passing peddler, until the bears roared to slow down Zifan, he tightened the reins and stopped aggrievedly.

Xiong Lu rode to his side and said angrily, "Zi Fan! How can you be so indulgent, you dignified son of Chu State? What should you do if you bump into innocent people?"

Zifan was aggrieved and said: "Zifan was able to go out with brother today, he was happy for a while, and then he indulged. Brother's lesson is that Zifan will not do it next time."

You Meng rode over slowly, and Xiong Lu saw him take out a small golden bean from his pocket and throw it to the peddler who fell down.The peddler thanked repeatedly, picked up the scattered goods, and left with the burden.Xiong Lu gave him an approving expression, Youmeng smiled slightly, the two little dimples on his face were very cute.

"Zifan, you learn from Youmeng. Just forget about the person who has already left. If you do something wrong next time, you must apologize in person."

Zizi looked at Youmeng instead, blushing, and finally nodded.

After leaving the city gate and walking a little further, Xiong Lu found that there were many newly built houses here.These should be houses for refugees.He slowed down and looked carefully at everyone who passed by.There is no sorrow on their faces, and sometimes there are smiles on their faces.A group of children gathered to play together. Although the clothes were simple, they were all clean.They were laughing and playing games, looking innocent and happy, much better than what he had seen when he first crossed.

But this is the outskirts of Yingdu City, so I don't know what happened to Danyang City.Has Uncle Wang returned home to live a peaceful life?Was his home also rebuilt?

He stopped and stopped all the way, and came to a mountain foot, surrounded by many children, and there were some adults standing not far away.The bear couple looked up and saw a tall, thin figure standing in the middle, distributing cookies to the children.The man was dressed in plain clothes, his hair was simply tied behind his head, and the tear mole under his left eye did not look coquettish at all, but rather gentle.

"Brother, give me one!"

"give me one!"

The children stretched out their little hands to ask for sugar cakes from Wu Chen, and he handed them out one by one patiently without missing any.The children took the sugar cookies, said thank you happily, and ran away laughing.He raised his head, and his eyes happened to meet the Xiong Lu, who looked away a little embarrassedly, and got off the horse.

Qu Wuchen walked towards this side slowly, because Xiong Lu was visiting in modest clothes, he bowed slightly, and said softly: "I don't know that the king is coming, so I am far away to welcome you."

"Don't be too polite, do you often visit these children?"

Qu Wuchen said with a smile: "It's not too often. I'm in charge of resettling the refugees, so I need to come here often. After the house was built, I came less often. I came here today. I didn't expect those children to remember me."

"Besides Yingdu, what is the resettlement situation of the refugees in each city?"

"According to what I know, the resettlement work for the upper and lower refugees in Chu State is almost done."

Hearing this, Xiong Lu felt relieved.Uncle Wang is a smart man, even under difficult conditions, he can still survive, so he seems to have settled down.

"I don't know where the king is going when he leaves the palace today?"

Xiong Lu's eyelids twitched, and said: "Go out with Zifan and Youmeng for a walk, and return to the palace in the evening."

"It's not safe outside, I'll go with the king." After saying that, he pulled his horse over, turned over and jumped onto the horse's back.

Zizi turned his eyes and saw that there was another person in the company, Qu Wuchen who he didn't like very much, and immediately said: "Hey! Why are you here too!"

Qu Wuchen smiled at him and said: "If you go back to the son's side, the king has agreed to go with you. Besides, what's the problem with having one more Qu Wuchen? It won't hinder the king and the son's side play."

It was still early spring at this time, and the horses were galloping wildly. The cold wind was still fierce, but the air was obviously much humid.Xiong Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, sniffing the fresh scent of green grass, and felt much happier.He saw a lot of peach trees growing on the hillside, and in another month, the peach blossoms will first bloom. At that time, the place will be full of clouds and rosy clouds, and it will be very spectacular.

Not far away is a small stream, the stream is clear, and many nearby residents fetch water here.It was almost time for dinner, so I thought it was brought here for cooking.The faces of the uncle, aunt, and young girl were full of smiles, and the bear lover couldn't help but tighten the reins, slowing down the horse under him.Under the big tree, several people were talking.

"That Duke Shen is really a good man. He not only allowed us refugees to live in new houses years ago, but also often helped the poor..."

"After the king came to power, the politics was clear, and we ordinary people were taken care of..."

"Why... I heard that the king didn't care about anything in the past two years, he only knew about eating, drinking and having fun?"

"You don't know that. Our king has to mourn for King Mu for three years. In these three years, he can't behave better than the previous king, so he deliberately eats, drinks and has fun all day long. Wasn't the battle last year not beautiful enough? Even All my relatives in Zheng Guo have heard about it..."

"Thanks to the king, we can settle down..."

Xiong Lu listened silently, with blood surging in his heart.If he works harder, these people can live a better life.This is just the beginning, far from the end.The future of Chu State can go up, and even reach the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.As long as he works hard enough and has outstanding foresight, he can turn Chu into a country that everyone admires and enable the people of Chu to live the best life.Even if he is only taking this position temporarily for King Zhuang, as long as he is willing, he can do well what King Zhuang should be doing.

"Wang, did you hear that?" Wu Chen was very close to him, but Zi Fan was chasing and fighting with You Meng, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Xiong Lu nodded and said, "I heard that, what does Duke Shen think?"

"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do. I also want to thank the king for letting me take charge of this matter, and for letting me receive so much thanks for nothing."

"Mr. Shen is too modest. Even if I don't assign you to resettle the refugees, you have done enough. I know that Mr. Shen is a very caring person."

Wu Chen stopped his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty praises you. I hope that Your Majesty will be more mature, and in the future he will be able to take charge of himself and get rid of the Ruo Ao family."

When Xiong Lu heard this, he also stopped his horse and asked: "Duke Shen also thinks that the widow must get rid of the Ruo Ao family to stabilize the state of Chu?"

Qu Wuchen smiled lightly, and said: "Naturally, if the Ao family is too arrogant, nearly [-]% of Chu's military strength is in their hands, cutting power is not easy. Originally, they held almost [-]% of the military strength. After the mediocre battle, he managed to keep [-]% in Pan Yu's hands."

Xiong Lu hesitated and said: "You said... If the widow directly asks him for military power, what will happen?"

"It's best not to try it lightly, Your Majesty."

"The widow can't see people's hearts. I don't know how the two of them care about it. But just looking at the surface, they don't seem so scary."

"Heh, no matter what they say, they are also relatives of the king. If the king gives them rights, they will naturally be content with the status quo for the time being. But the king must know the truth of precautions. The two of them hold powerful troops. If they suddenly fight against each other or have a disagreement, the situation will be very serious. It's out of control."

What Wu Chen said is naturally reasonable, and Xiong Lu also knows that personal power should not be allowed to be too great.If the existing rights are plundered from them, individuals will feel that their own interests have been damaged, and if they are not done well, it will cause conflicts and even sudden rebellion.Therefore, we can only take it slowly, but as for how to do it, Xiong Lu can't think of an idea for a while.

So he humbly asked: "What clever plan does Shen Gong have?"
