The king of Chu escaped from marriage, and the palace was in chaos. The bride of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is a tiger girl who can't stand this grievance, so she rushed out of the door and grabbed a horse and ran back to her parents' house. She didn't know what was going on at home, and when she came back, she was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" The bride ran all the way back to her room with red eyes, lifted the tent and threw herself into bed. Before tears could flow out of his eyes, he saw a note on the pillow. Take it in your hand and look at it, it says: "You are helpless, I am helpless; You are innocent, and I am innocent. Better a finger off than always aching. Apologies, apologies. "What's the use of apologizing? The bride cried "wow".

By this time her mother had rushed in and asked why. When he looked up, he saw the note, and took it out and ordered it to be given to the men. After a while, the brothers who had given the marriage also came back in a rage. Several men in the family passed a note, and they recognized the handwriting on it, and it was actually written by the king of Chu. This matter is clearly understood, and the king of Chu picked his son and ran away with the Xiao family. Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.

But the father of the bride sneered: "Love beauty but don't love the country, it's tight." He doesn't want it, some people want it. ”

At this time, a doorman came in and returned: "There are guests outside the gate who ask to see you." ”

"Please come in. Either one, please come in. The general said, "You remember the number, and see how many you can come to." Nai shook his sleeves and walked to the study to wait.

At this time, the palace of the king of Chu was up and down like a mess inside and out, and the queen mother had already fainted. Su Tao, the prefect of Jingzhou, said: "Even if I saw it not long ago, I can't go far if I want to come, so let's look for it first." Everyone didn't have an opinion, and when they heard this, they immediately opened their mouths and sent people out of the south gate to chase after them along the road. And many old ministers gathered in the hall to discuss things.

After a while, a eunuch found a note in the house of the king of Chu, which read: "I don't want to be the queen of Li and Song Huizong." "It is the handwriting of the king of Chu.

Su Tao looked at it and sighed: "It's okay." In troubled times, it is not easy for the benevolent lord to do. After that, he went out with his hands and walked away! Everyone was stunned. Wasn't he the one who reminded him to recover the prince? Could it be that your heart is cold? They looked at each other for a long time and sighed.

In the afternoon, the king of Chu did not recover it, and the queen mother invited several important ministers to discuss the matter behind closed doors, but the result was not discussed. I heard that the threshold of the old man's house of the King of Chu, who was not married, had been broken.

That night, an old minister was entrusted by the Queen Mother to go to the post house to see Su Tao, but when he entered the door, he saw a few burdens. Su Tao smiled: "I just cleaned up, and I will leave early in the morning." ”

The old minister hurriedly said: "When the country is in danger, how can Master Su just leave? ”

Su Tao said: "As a parent official, it is Su's duty to protect the people. Seeing that the beacon smoke is about to rise, the lower officials can't control anything else, only to protect Jingzhou first. ”

The old minister was shocked, dragged him and said, "What does Master Su mean by this?" Will the smoke rise? ”

Su Tao said: "According to the lower officials, don't go to the prince." What if he is recovered? He has no intention of being a king, nor is he powerless to be the Lord, and he cannot sit on this throne at all. He still has a way to live outside, and he will surely die when he returns. ”

The old minister said: "Therefore, we must do our best to assist. ”

Su Tao glanced at him indifferently: "Didn't I do my best to assist in the past?" The old minister was dumbfounded. Su Tao said, "The world's affairs are not all that can be achieved with all your efforts. Now that the prince has lost his military heart, he can't get it back. Several uncles have their own abilities, and no one obeys anyone, and ninety percent of them are going to meet each other. The neighbors of the Chu State are all strong enemies, and once they move the sword soldiers...... he sighed, "I don't know which one will come in." ”

The old minister hurriedly said: "Master Su, you have a way!" ”

Su Tao shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, when Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable. We are all talents, and everyone is a soldier. No matter how sharp his mouth is, he can't bear the slashing of others. Brother Wang is young, even if the younger brother marries someone else, he may not agree. Besides, even if he agreed, there was nowhere to put his face. What's more, your uncles are not fools. What the Queen Mother can give, everyone can give. The only thing that the prince is better than his uncle is his background. If the king's brother can reach the end of his brother, why can't the brother of the first king reach the end of his brother? ”

"This ...... How is it good? ”

Su Tao sighed: "What is good." Go back and dig trenches to guard against enemy attacks. He glanced up at the old minister, "If you go slowly, you won't be able to walk." The old minister suddenly changed his face, clubbed for a while, and hurried back to see the Queen Mother and the rest of the adults.

A scholar is a scholar after all. Rao is Su Tao has reminded that these people are still unhurried. After discussing most of the night, the queen mother prepared to go to the old man of the king of Chu to apologize the next day. Su Tao drove out of the city gate early in the morning and walked away. As everyone knows, Su Tao has provoked the eyes of many people because of yesterday's actions, and a lot of them are staring at him. When the stalkers saw him run away, they went back to tell the masters. In less than half an hour, dozens of officials ran away as if they were fleeing. Some adults in the post house didn't know what was going on, and when they saw that the others had run away, they quickly packed up their things and ran away. At noon, the gates were stopped by the soldiers, and they were not allowed to enter or leave at will. The Queen Mother went to apologize to her in-laws who did not get married, but she was not released from house arrest.

In the next few days, Su Tao's words somehow spread all over the city, and everyone heard about it. The common people can endure everything, but they can't stand the war. The ancients said that they would rather be a dog in a prosperous world than a person in a troubled world. To fight a war is to arrest strong men, kill people and set fires, and corpses are everywhere, and men and women are not killed. Originally, the life of Chu was more difficult than that of other countries, but now that there is going to be a war, why don't you hurry up and run? Those who have a family business are gone, so the poorer ones roughly packed up some of their belongings, and lined up at the city gate in the middle of the night, waiting for the city gate to open the next day.

Those who fled were originally some broken people, and they all hoped that the world would be in chaos, not only their family would be ruined, and the words of the imminent war would be spread by them to all parts of the Chu State. The people's hearts, which have never been chaotic, have been chaotic. Since last year, some people have been urging people to go to Nanyang to open up wasteland in various parts of Chu State, because Nanyang is far away and there are few people who go. As soon as the letter of the imminent civil war came out, many people were immediately stunned. is still the most neat runner with no industry: Hengzhu has no money or land in his hometown, and he can't say that he can't let any Uncle Wang catch a strong man and die on the battlefield; It's better to try your luck in the South Seas. Suddenly, a large number of Chu people went south and wanted to go to the South Seas.

Naturally, the capital is becoming more and more chaotic. Several uncles didn't leave, arguing every day in the palace of the king of Chu who should sit on that chair, but no one was convinced. The Queen Mother was imprisoned, and the brothers of the King of Chu were left alone, and they also walked around separately. The king of Chu, who had escaped from marriage, couldn't take care of it, and the government didn't chase him or look for him, but only treated him as dead. The old ministers were helpless.

On this day, there was a man eating in a small restaurant in the city, and when the audience talked about the affairs of the country, he also said: "It is better to follow the capital as it was in the past, and the uncles of the kings divided the land and ruled." ”

A scholar said: "If you are together, you will be strong, and if you are separated, you will be weak." The State of Chu was originally not big, if it was divided again, wouldn't it be given to the Yan State of Wu to swallow? ”

"Wu Guoyan has a big vision now, and he still can't look down on such a small territory as Chu State." The man said, "Right now, isn't our Chu State just like all the uncles who are similar in ability?" I can't tell which one is the master. As the saying goes, it's the mule that pulls the horse out and slips. Each rule the same place, and you will know in a few years. To say that the earth is small, and the strength and weakness are not very dry. Lu Guo Elementary School, right? Let's try to fight with others in Chu State? There are many small countries in the left and west of Chu, and there are also a few small countries in the territory, so it doesn't hurt to divide them again. Horizontal and vertical are better than internal fighting. If these dozen masters fight, the common people will all go to the Yan country next door - the king of Yan has sent troops to fight for territory abroad, and the population will be the most scarce in the next few decades. ”

A merchant in the restaurant said: "According to me, instead of calling around in such an idea as the Chu State, it is better to go to the foreign ocean." The piece of land that King Yan wants to fight is hundreds of times that of the Chu State! Where can Yanwang's family eat? ”

The man said: "King Yan's intention is to immigrate from other countries. A lot of people have run away outside. As soon as these uncles started a war, King Yan was afraid that he would wake up laughing from his dreams. Even if the uncles of the kings defeated the state of Chu, it would be in vain to defend the land and no one cultivated. ”

A scribe in the corner suddenly sighed, "I just can't stop them." ”

The man said, "Stop? The people's hearts are like a flood, where can they be stopped? Even if the uncles of the princes shouted on the street hand in hand, we don't fight~~ How many people heard it? How many people believe? ”

The scholar frowned and said, "Can't you calm the hearts of the people?" ”

The man said: "Unless all the kings, uncles, and brothers work together to establish a new king who can be said to be reasonable." ”

Even the shopkeeper couldn't help but ask, "What is the new king who is reasonable?" ”

The man said: "The youngest brother of the prince is only eight years old. If he is appointed, it is obvious that it is just a strategy to delay the army, and each family has not yet prepared it. As long as the preparations are ready, the battle must be started, and the battle will be fought fiercely. ”

The scribe in the corner frowned and said, "I can't say that this little brother Wang can become a great weapon?" ”

The man laughed and said, "This gentleman, you are a scholar, and I am a reckless man." I don't even believe me, will you? Since the prince loves that Xiao Niangniang, he would rather run away from marriage than elope with her, why not make her a concubine? Isn't he the lord of the Chu State? Xiao Niangniang is also the daughter of Confucianism. In previous years, I am afraid that the status is higher than the one who has not worshiped the church now. ”

The room was silent. Martial arts in prosperous times are not as good as literature, and literature in troubled times is not as good as martial arts. If the eight-year-old little brother Wang can ascend the throne safely and be supported by all the uncles and brothers, why does the king of Chu have to run away from marriage?

The merchant sighed: "If the Chu State makes such a self-deceptive strategy, I think it will not be able to coax the people. ”

The man said: "This strategy can't coax the people since ancient times, but the people in ancient times can't do it." Now it's different from the past, I can't afford to provoke and hide. All other countries are safe. Hide in the Yan Kingdom and endure some wandering days, and wait for the King of Yan to calm down the ocean, and then open up the wasteland in the past. ”

The scribe said angrily: "Since ancient times, there have been many strong men in the Chu Kingdom. In the midst of great calamity in this country, do the people only think about fleeing? ”

The merchant smiled and said, "How can the ancient Chu State and the present Chu State be the same thing?" How many years has the world been sealed? I walk north and south of the river, and I often can't remember which piece belongs to which prince now, and I only remember the province. ”

The scribe was dumbfounded. Yes, the state of Chu is less than eight years old, it has not yet experienced a generation of masters, and the neighboring countries are all stronger than their own country, where will the people die for the king of Chu? I heard that there was going to be a war, why don't you run faster?

The merchant said: "I heard that after the beginning of spring this year, there are many people from all over the Chu State who have moved to Nanyang. ”

Another man who had not spoken all this time said, "We've been walking a little bit there." At the beginning of the year, the cocoa tea business in Beijing was on fire, and it was frighteningly expensive, and anyone who could get the supply could make a lot of money. The Javanese and Malay countries in the South Seas both produce cocoa tea, and they were all attacked by pirates in recent years, and the places are very large and the population is small, and there is no shortage of people. ”

The man said, "I heard that the weather is extremely hot over there, and I am annoyed by that." If I immigrate to foreign countries, I will only wait for King Yan to conquer North America and buy some Kunlun slaves to open gold mines. ”

The scholar asked, "Kunlun Nu?" Could it be the legendary Kunlun slave of the Tang Dynasty? Still now? ”

The man said: "I don't know what legend is, I also heard it from others." Westerners have occupied South and North America for 150 years. They have few people of their own, where can they open so many famines? The population of the West, regardless of their status in the West, whether they are slaves or criminals, will be cleared of their status as free people in the Americas, and they must not be slaves; Those who usually go to the fields to work or open mines are all Kunlun slaves that they bought. Since there were Kunlun slaves in the Tang Dynasty, and then they were gone, it must have been that the West wanted a lot, and all the human teeth were sold to them. ”

The merchant suddenly came to the spiritual leader: "If King Yan conquers North America, who will those Kunlun slaves belong to?" ”

The man smiled: "Naturally, it is the person who returns to King Yan." People can't fight a battle with their generals and soldiers in vain? Nai sighed, "It's really refreshing to be a soldier in Yan State, and in the old year, there was a general of Jin State who actually led his troops to Yan." ”

The merchant said: "Why did I hear that the general of the Jin Kingdom was ordered to go to the Yan Kingdom to rob, and he walked too deep until he reached the left side of the capital, so that the general of the Yan Kingdom, Gan Lei, was captured alive?" ”

The man waved his hand: "Where can you be a general so stupid?" That man heard that there was a war in the Yan Kingdom, so he led people over. ”

Another person said: "Now these princes are going to foreign countries, and they are all killing people, setting fires and stealing things." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I heard from the guests from the north that the people of the King of Liao bought off the Russian lord and went to the West to rob and make a lot of money!" ”

Everyone, you look at me and tear it away, and stop talking about Chu State. The scribe in the corner had a cloudy look in his eyes, ate the wine and food again, put down his chopsticks and shouted, "Pay the bill." Then he walked quickly.

This person is a key staff member of an uncle Wang in the Chu State. When I heard these words on the side of the street today, my heart suddenly became a pot of porridge. The people's hearts have been dispersed. Even the capital is like this, let alone outside? Today's Chu State is really difficult to leave a population. He then told Uncle Wang what he had heard in the restaurant.

Uncle Wang walked around the house for a long time, and said, "I'm afraid that we have to build a wall on the border, and the people are not allowed to cross it." ”

The staff said with a wry smile: "The border is long, and the king of Yan and the king of Wu all have the population of Chu State, and they are all stronger than Chu State; Chu Guo saw that there was still an infighting. Yan Wu wanted to tear down the wall easily, and the Chu people's hearts became more and more unstable. He paused, "Besides, I'm afraid that some soldiers will vote for Yan Wu, and there will be no one who will vote for Lu State." ”

Uncle Wang sighed: "How is it good! The little cub who was discussed yesterday seems to be temporarily replaced. ”

The staff said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to set him up, and even the people on the street can't be coaxed." After a long time, he said slowly, "My lord, my subordinates think that what the people said has some truth. ”

Uncle Wang asked, "Which people did you say?" ”

The staff approached him and whispered slowly, "Divide the land and rule." ”
