"You came to me from Yueguo, Gou Jian will definitely make good use of you. But the first time I saw you, I knew you two were good girls. I believe that as long as I am good to you, you will not really hurt me. The husband's warm big hand only wrapped Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's small hands in the palm of his hand, looked at them fixedly, and his tone was full of pity, "With so many things in my heart, this time must be difficult, right?"

"King!" Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's hearts were slightly sour, and at the same time they were numb and itchy.

Compared with the hypocrisy and insidiousness of Gou Jian and Fan Li, how precious is the tolerance and honesty shown by the husband!

They told their husbands about Gou Jian and Fan Li's plans in detail.

When the husband heard the previous incident, his face was quite calm, but when he heard that Gou Jian gave sterilization medicine to their ten beauties, he couldn't help but say with disdain, "What a mean and unkind person!"

After Xi Shi and Zheng Dan finished speaking, they knelt down and kowtowed to their husbands and said, "King, the two of us don't want to be other people's tools anymore. But I was afraid that my parents would be poisoned by them. Please also ask the king to help us save our families!"

The husband hurriedly helped them up and comforted them softly: "Don't worry, the two concubines, we can plan this matter carefully." ”

They talked until the light receded and the twilight was four.

When they left, the three of them smiled and looked natural, and they did not show any abnormalities to the others.

Xianglan, Hongguo and others only thought it was an ordinary feast, and they didn't take it to heart.

After this incident, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were favored by Rilong, and they were successively promoted to "Mrs.", occupying two of the three positions in the palace of Queen Wu. Above the "lady" is the "queen", and the husband has not established a queen. The other concubines in the harem gradually became decorations.

The husband is busy with the two of them all day long, and sometimes he is even too lazy to go to court.

Wu Zixu and other loyal ministers saw that their husbands were not as diligent as they used to be in the government, and they regarded these two people as troubles, and often advised their husbands to stay away from them, which often provoked the husbands to be angry, and the relationship between the monarch and the ministers became worse day by day.

Two years later, the husband finally moved his mind and convened the ministers to discuss the matter.

After Wu Zixu and other ministers heard that King Wu wanted to crown Xi Shi as a concubine, Zheng Dan was a noble concubine and resolutely opposed it. Wu Zixu even claimed that this was a sign of the death of the country, and if King Wu had to score Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, he would threaten him with resignation.

Fucha was furious, and confiscated Wu Zixu's tiger talisman in charge of the army on the spot, and ordered him to go home to think about it, and he was not allowed to go to court without being summoned.

Seeing that the quarrel between Fucha and Wu Zixu had finally reached this point, Bo Yao seized the opportunity to say to Fucha: "It is a family matter of the Son of Heaven after the establishment, and the king can do it himself, without the consent of any courtiers." ”

The husband was very pleased with his support for him, and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and a hundred horses of fine silk on the spot. And ordered: "If there are any more people who oppose the matter of the post-establishment, they will hand over the official seal and go home, and there is no need to come to the court again." ”

Taifu Hu Chong, Wei Wei Guan Hua, Lang Zhong Ling Bo Zijun and several other fierce courtiers resigned on the spot. No one else dared to speak out about it.

Bo Yao also admonished King Wu: "The king will set up a new queen and a concubine, but the harem palace is all old things, and it is not worthy of the world's beauty of the new queen and the concubine." It is better to build a new palace to show His Majesty's grace to the queen and concubine. ”

Fucha laughed happily, praised Bo Yao and said: "Aiqing really knows my heart!" immediately ordered Bo Yao to take charge of the design of the new palace, and named it "Guanwa Palace", which means "the palace where beautiful women live".

In order to cater to the mind of the husband, Bo Yao designed the Guanwa Palace to be meticulously carved and extremely luxurious. Copper hook jade sill, all over the pearl jade, five steps and a flower, ten steps and a scene, the pavilion is exquisite, golden and brilliant.

The husband showed the design of the Guanwa Palace to the ministers in the court, and asked the ministers to supplement what they still lacked.

Fengchang Lu Jue is an upright minister, after he saw this picture, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he admonished his husband: "This palace is too extravagant, the cost is huge, I am afraid it will take all the power of the country to build, please think twice!"

After hearing this, the husband suddenly changed color, and loudly reprimanded Lu Jue: "Think about it twice! The queen of this king, can't she afford to be a pavilion and a palace." "I don't listen to any advice.

The husband also ordered Taishi Cao Bu to calculate the auspicious day. Tai Shi Cao calculated that the eighth day of February of the following year was the most auspicious day in two years, and it was only three months away.

Fucha immediately ordered Xi Shi's father to be "Anle Hou" and Zheng Dan's father to be "Anping Hou", respectively, to give a mansion in the best part of Fusu City, and ordered Goujian, the king of Yue, to personally lead people to escort Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's parents to Gusu City to participate in the ceremony of sealing the concubine three months later.

Wu Zixu inquired about King Wu's actions in the mansion, and was so angry that he smashed his usual favorite set of smoke, rain, blue and white Ruyao teacups, "Se Ling Zhi is dizzy! I must not watch King Wu destroy the Wu Kingdom for these two traitorous concubines!"

So he summoned all the guests under his command to discuss how to get rid of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.

However, before he could make a move, Bo Yao reported Wu Zixu to his husband.

Bo Yao has always been jealous of Wu Zixu's high position and power, and regarded him as a thorn in the flesh. Wu Zixu angrily scolded King Wu and summoned the guests without deliberately keeping it secret, he casually bribed two attendants from the Wu Mansion and found out the news. Such a good opportunity to hit Wu Zixu, how could he miss it?

Bo Yao handed over the waist card and went to the palace to meet her husband, and said to him: "King, Wu Zixu relies on the old and sells the old, and he doesn't take you in his eyes at all. He doesn't like anything you like, and he will frame anyone you love. The king tolerated him many times, but he became more and more presumptuous. This time, he brazenly summoned the disciples with the intention of getting rid of the new queen and the concubine, and he wanted to betray you nakedly! If the king still cherishes the old feelings and is reluctant to deal with him, the world will not know that there is still a king in Wu State, but only that Wu State has Wu Zixu!"

After hearing Bo Yao's provocation, the husband was furious, and ordered his henchmen to send Wu Zixu a sword that was broken and sharpened like clay, and asked him to apologize for his crimes.

Wu Zixu's mood when he saw the sword sent by his husband could not be described as disappointed! He felt extremely angry and frustrated, and at the same time he felt a little relieved.

Over the years, he has become more and more disappointed in his husband's behavior, and the relationship between their monarchs and ministers has become worse and worse, almost to the point of tension, and he has almost forgotten what it was like when their monarchs and ministers got along in the first place. I don't know when it began, this young king, who ran farther and farther on the wrong path, and the more he tried to pull back, the more he couldn't pull it back, he was no longer the ambitious, heroic and resolute appearance when he first ascended the throne.

Wu Zixu said to his subordinates in a dejected manner, "When my father was killed by the king of Chuping, when I fled from all over the world, the emperor took me in, and helped me send troops to avenge me, and treated me very kindly. So I have devoted my life to Wu and want to make Wu the most powerful country. Now the king pampers the traitorous concubines of the hated country, and believes in the sycophants, who want to take my life, and I can't turn a blind eye to death! After I die, you gouge out my eyes and hang them on the east gate of Gusu City, and I want to see the destruction of the Wu Kingdom with my own eyes!"

Then he walked into his study with his sword in his hand and committed suicide.

The guards sent by the husband kept all the people in Wu Zixu's mansion out, and they went into the study to watch Wu Zixu commit suicide with their own eyes, and then reported the incident to the husband.

The husband was furious and ordered Wu Zixu's body to be still in the mass grave, and Wu Zixu's family was all exiled.

At this point, Bo Yao became the first favorite minister around Fucha, and his official position was promoted to Dazai.

Dazai Yaichi took control of the government by traitorous ministers, framed Zhongliang, and vigorously appointed small people. With the death of Wu Zixu, loyal ministers were either demoted or dismissed, and there was a miasma of smoke above the court of Wu State.

In the harem, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan dismissed the waiters and called Xianglan and Hongguo to the inner room.

"You quickly sent a message to the young uncle's brother, saying that the relationship between Wu Zixu and King Wu had broken down, and Wu Zixu had been killed.

Now King Wu has no intention of ruling the government, and the central government is controlled by Dazai, the army is scattered, and political affairs are delayed. King Zheng Ke of Yue led his troops to attack Fusu, and defeated Wu State. This opportunity is rare, please King Yue and Brother Young Uncle seize the opportunity, the great things we have been planning for so long can be accomplished!"

Then Xi Shi took out a concentric knot from his sleeve and handed it to Xianglan, saying: "This concentric knot is made by me myself, you pass it along with the letter to the young uncle's brother, and tell him that the country's hatred and family feud are about to be avenged, and Xizi still remembers the promise of boating on the West Lake, I don't know if he still remembers?"

"Slave obeys!" Xianglan replied respectfully, but turned around and secretly pursed her lips.

This master is really persistent! King Wu is so good to her, she is really like a treasure in the palm of her hand, she is afraid of breaking it in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth, but she is still desperately talking about Fan Li who deceived her. But it's okay this way, I don't know how much effort I saved in my mission.

Fan Li got the news and tokens from Xi Shi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile. The news from Shih Tzu and the news from Dazai's side are not bad at all.

Xi Shi is really obedient, and it is not in vain that he built the king of Yue and deliberately put the name of "the first beauty in the Yue country" on her.

Fan Li took the letter from Xi Shi and Bo Yao, and immediately went to the palace of King Yue to meet King Yue.

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was sitting on the throne and was furious. He had just received an edict from King Wu to him, and he had even ordered him to personally escort the parents of Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, two folk girls, to Wu State! Did he really think that he was a subordinate who was called at will? Thinking of the time when he was detained in Fusu City, he drove a chariot for his husband and insulted him at will, and a blazing flame uncontrollably erupted in his heart.

Fan Li saw that Fucha's expression was gloomy, and he learned the truth from the attendant next to him, and immediately bowed to the ground, and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to the king! Congratulations to the king! The state of Wu is about to be destroyed, and the king's revenge is just around the corner!" and then told Gou Jian the news from Xi Shi and Dazai Yao.

"My lord, the husband is acting absurdly, and the monarch and the minister are detached. Wu Zixu was the biggest obstacle to the destruction of Wu by the Yue Kingdom, and has now been removed by the husband himself. Dazai is greedy for money and lustful, and I have long been bought. The king was patient for the time being, and as the husband said, he personally escorted Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's parents to Wu to participate in the ceremony of the queen and concubine, and secretly led the army forward. After sealing and sealing the concubine ceremony, it is the time when the husband is the most lax, and when the time comes, we will cooperate with Xi Shi, Zheng Dan and Dazai Yaoli, kill him by surprise, and the great cause of recovering the country can be accomplished!"

"Are you sure there is no problem with the news they handed over?" In fact, Gou Jian's judgment was the same as Fan Li's, but he felt that things were going too smoothly and were a little unbelievable.

"There will be no problem, King! Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are people we have personally cultivated, and the personal maids around them are also our back-ups, neither of them knows. If there's anything wrong with them, we'll be the first to know. Dazai's wife is the beauty we gave him, and his attendants around him are also inserted by our people, and he has been under our close surveillance, and his cousin has always been very good. Dazai Ya has privately accepted so much money and jewelry from us, if he doesn't listen to us, we will tell his husband directly, and he will die without a place to be buried, so he doesn't dare not listen. Everything these three people say and do is under our control. The king doesn't need to worry. Fan Li assured.

"That's good! I have been working hard all these years. This king has endured humiliation for many years, and finally waited for this day!" Gou Jian got Fan Li's assurance and no longer worried. Fan Li is quite ambitious, versatile, ruthless, and thoughtful, and is an extremely useful blade in his hand. There has been nothing wrong with what has been handed over to him over the years.

"Then Weichen will go and arrange the relevant matters. Fan Li bowed his hand and said goodbye.

"Okay!

Gou Jian returned to his dormitory, tore off the bitter gall hanging in the room, threw it on the ground, and stepped forward and stepped on it twice, "This king doesn't need this thing anymore!

The fierce eyes glowed as fiercely as a wolf's eye in the dim dormitory.
