123 Dunman's funeral

The whole country of Chu finally ushered in the New Year in the busy, and the New Year was so festive everywhere in the state of Chu, even if the state of Chu decided to prepare for the upcoming war, after a poor year, the palace still could not hide the joyful atmosphere.

Deng Man's body has become more and more deteriorating, and it is already very difficult to get out of bed while lying on the bed, but she is not worried about herself at all, Xiong Zhen and Xi Fei stood aside, watching Deng Man affectionately pull Xiong Jian, hugging Xiong Waving, his face was full of happiness. Deng Man knew in her heart that her limit was approaching, but she had no regrets, she had been the wife of King Wu in Chu for decades, she had the right to get King Wu's love for her, and at the end of her death, she also hugged her two grandsons, this is the new life of Chu State, and it is the hope of Chu State. The family and career have a bumper harvest, what else is she unwilling to do.

Since the day Deng Man was bedridden, Xi Fei has taken on the responsibility of taking care of her, Deng Man is not a fool, even if Xi Fei has never invited a word of pet, Deng Man still has a good impression of this daughter-in-law. Her personality is deeply loved by Deng Man, and she seems to see her own back then, she is the same as strong and stubborn, but once she determines something, she will never let go again. Does it mean that she has identified Xiong Zhen by taking care of herself like this now?

On this day, Deng Man felt that his spirit was much better, looking at his son and daughter-in-law beside him, he always felt that there was something to say, so he asked the nurse to take the son and Xiong Yun down, and waved Xiong Yun out, leaving the concubine alone. Pulled her to sit in front of the bed, looked at Xi Concubine lovingly, and said slowly: "You have been in my Chu State for three years, and you have been in charge of Chu State for a year, and it is my son's fault that I brought you to Chu State, but in the past three years, he has not treated you badly, and he has always been in love with you, you tell me honestly, do you hate him?" ”

"Hate!" A word floated out of her mouth faintly, and she couldn't see anything else in her eyes. Deng Man sighed helplessly, slightly disappointed, but Xi Fei changed her words and continued: "But it's already over. Now that I have fully accepted this identity, I have already given birth to two children for him, so I still have to be angry with him. ”

When Xi Fei said this, it made both of them laugh, and Deng Man said reassuringly: "I'm relieved if you say this." I'm a big Chu, the wind and the rain are smooth. The country is safe and secure, and the country is governed in good order, and even if I go, I have the face to meet their father, and the only regret is you. You kid is really stubborn, I remember that when you first came to Chu State, it really took me a lot of effort, but now that I am relieved to see you, I am also relieved. Then he sighed and said, "My son is just cold-faced." I never say anything in my heart, and I can't do anything about him in this regard, but he is loving you in his own way, and he is sincere to you. ”

Xi Fei recalled the man who sometimes threw away the image of the king, and her heart felt a little warm, and she chuckled: "I know. ”

"Now that he has given you half of the Great Chu, you must remember not to be greedy, since you have this half of the country, you must firmly guard it, and you must not destroy it for selfish gain. Do you remember? As he spoke, his tone gradually became serious, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

Xi Fei looked at Deng Man's serious expression and nodded seriously. Don't dare to be sloppy.

"My Da Chu's lady is the most capable, just because the person who sits in this position wants to work with the king to protect this country, you have to remember!" Then he said to the palace people: "Let the king come in!" ”

Xiong Yun walked into the room, stood aside, and looked at Deng Man respectfully.

Deng Man looked dissatisfied with Xiong Yun. Pointing at him, he reprimanded: "You, sometimes don't be rash in your actions, show some royal composure, and don't sometimes act like a child who has not done anything. "Xiong Zhen just lowered his head, looking like, 'Mother, what you reprimanded'.

"Also, Mrs. Wen Wang has become Mrs. Wen Wang, if you treat her badly one day, are you worthy of so many tears she sheds?"

Speaking of this, Xiong Yun suddenly became very serious, and said with a solemn oath: "Mother, please rest assured, Erchen will definitely treat Mrs. well." ”

Seeing such a situation, Deng Man looked up at the roof and chuckled: "I have no regrets in my life, seeing my son's exploits and holding my grandson, what could be happier than this, I'm afraid your father also misses me, and I have to put down everything to accompany him." ”

As he spoke, the hand holding Xiong Yun suddenly slipped off, and without warning, Deng Man died like this, dying of joy in the years later.

Deng Man was not able to see the spring of the following year, but fortunately, Xi Fei had already prepared Deng Man's funeral, and the funeral was carried out in a calm and orderly manner according to custom.

In 678 B.C., the state of Chu cultivated and recuperated for three years, and finally asked the soldiers to wash the mud on their legs and feet, put on their armor, and at the moment when the horn sounded, they took up their weapons, put on a neat square, and sent out to attack Deng.

Before leaving for the expedition, Xi Fei personally gave the wine to Xiong Yun and the vanguard generals in front of the soldiers, and told Dou Dan and Xiong to protect the safety of the king.

Shen is just a small country, geographically close to Xi Guo, and like it, although it is not big, if it is properly defended, it will make it a good defense against foreign enemies, so he Xiong Zhen has already made up his mind to take it.

If you want to attack the Shen Kingdom, the road is far away, so you pass through the Deng Kingdom. After all, Deng Guogong is Xiong Yun's uncle, and he is afraid of Chu State in his heart, so he naturally opens the city gate to welcome him. Deng Guogong went out to greet him with a smile, and when he saw this nephew, he was both happy and scared, and hurriedly said: "It is really an honor for the King of Chu to come to my Deng Kingdom!" ”

Xiong Yun said politely: "Uncle is really disturbed, my nephew was preparing to send troops to attack Shen, but the journey is too far, and the soldiers of my Chu State are also tired for a day, so I came to disturb my uncle tonight." ”

Deng Guogong smiled happily, he was desperate, and hurriedly said: "Don't disturb, don't disturb, nephew, let the soldiers rest, my Deng country is available everywhere." Xiong Yun also smiled, "Then thank your uncle first." ”

That night, Xiong Zhen had a banquet in Deng Guo, and under the banquet, Deng Guogong's henchmen said to him: "Guogong, this Xiong Zhen child is a threat to my Deng Guo, he is now going to crusade against Shen Guo, maybe one day he will come to crusade against my Deng Guo, then my Deng Guo will definitely be a knife and fish meat, let others slaughter, rather than helpless at that time, it is better to kill him now." It's also a broken trouble! ”

Who knew that Deng Guogong was brainless, and said stubbornly: "What are you talking about, I am Deng Guogong and his uncle, how can I do such an unkind and unjust thing." Wouldn't it damage the majesty of my Deng country, and resolutely not! Besides, Deng Man has just been mourned, and he has just passed the New Year's pass, and the widow has been gifted by the King of Chu, how can he turn his face and deny people. Anyway, he will take care of his mother's face! ”

Seeing Deng Guogong's refusal, his henchmen were unwilling, and he reluctantly said: "Guogong, Xiong Zhen'er is cunning and treacherous, his mind is difficult to guess, what if all this is just a cover-up, in case it is a cover to attack Shen Guo." If he really fights, where is my Deng Guo's opponent, I can only strike first, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it! ”

"Well, don't say it again, this thing is absolutely impossible!"

Deng Guogong saw that he was Xiong Yun's uncle, and he still wanted to attach himself to such a strong country, if he killed Xiong Yun, he would recruit someone to be his backer. In his heart, he also thought that he was Xiong Yun's uncle, and speculated that he would take care of the rest of the family, but everything was too simple for him to think.

Shen Guo was at a loss in the face of Xiong Gan's sudden arrival of Wang Shi, and soon disarmed and surrendered, and then let Deng Guogong die without expecting that Xiong Rong also destroyed him Deng Guo on the way back. At the last moment, Deng Guogong regretted that if he had followed the advice and killed Xiong Zhen at that time, maybe everything would have been different. But that's how cruel history is.

Xiong Yun spent three days successfully turning Deng State into Deng County of Chu State, and his reputation among the princes of the Northern Territory was even worse, and he was regarded as a big trouble by Qi Xiaobai, and the worries in his heart were deeper, and his determination to get rid of Chu State became more and more urgent.

This good news reached the state of Chu. The whole country of Chu cheered for the victory of the king, and Xi Fei couldn't hide the joy in her heart. It was only at this time that the royal family of Chu knew that Xi Fei had the foresight of trying her best to reduce expenses a year ago, and they added a touch of respect to this Mrs. Wen in their hearts.

Xiong Yun returned to Chu with victory, the expression on his face was even more arrogant, Deng Guo is also a country with some influence, and the status of Chu will naturally rise a lot after destroying him, Xiong Yun is of course happy in his heart.

After the war, a period of comfortable days is inevitable, the winter has not passed, it is still cold, it is so Xiong Yun made a decision, he wants to go to Yunmengze to spend this long and boring winter.

LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn. The "Straight Advice" records that King Wen of Chu got the good dog of Ruyi, the sharp arrow made by Wanyi, was overjoyed, and took it to Yunmeng to hunt, and got a beautiful woman called "Dan Zhiji" in Yunmengze, who was pampered more than usual, and did not return to the capital for three months.

Xiong Yun will not be in Yingdu for three months, which makes the political situation of the entire Chu State embarrassing, and it is also a hurry to kill the concubine in the palace.

Xi Fei sat in the hall and reviewed the chapters, thinking a lot in her heart, Xiong Yan had been to Yunmengze for three months, and sent someone to go a few days ago, and when she came back, she replied that the king had no intention of coming back, so Xi Fei's heart began to hang. The king of Chu is not in the Chu country, and the princes everywhere are eyeing him, just waiting for an opportunity to attack him, just one opportunity away, not to mention the rest for the time being, this Cai Xianwu must be stable now, there must be no mistakes, it's time to go to his side once.

As soon as Xi Fei entered this courtyard, she saw Cai Xianwu unkempt, his beard was as long as grass, lying on the dirty quilt with a stinking body, picking his feet arbitrarily, and there was still a trace of the figure of a prince. The unpleasant smell made Fu Zhai's stomach nauseous, and she couldn't help but want to vomit.

"Yo, Mrs. Wen, why do you have time to come here today, are you here to see me dead?" Cai Xianwu smiled uninhibitedly, and his tone was extremely sarcastic.

Concubine Zhai frowned, looked at Cai Xianwu's decadent appearance, was unhappy, and asked: "Cai Xianwu, although you became a prisoner in my Chu country, my Great Chu did not treat you badly, although this courtyard is small, it is not so messy." ”

Cai Xianwu sneered: "This is my place, Mrs. Wen Wang is in the Chu State, I heard that the King of Chu has delegated power to you, this day must be more comfortable than when he was in Xiguo, how can you have spare time to come and see me as a prisoner?"

If it weren't for the last resort, Xi Fei would never come here, the person in front of her ruined everything for her, she absolutely hoped that he would die without a place to be buried to relieve the hatred in her heart, glanced at Cai Xianwu, and said coldly: "It's not that I want to care, I haven't forgotten the pain you brought me, but you are now imprisoned in the Chu State, if something goes wrong, the North will be in chaos, and at this time, you can't have anything to do!."

Cai Xianwu said indifferently: "Since I am imprisoned here, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad." The affairs of the Northern Territory will be completely left to the Northern Territory to consider, what else do I have to worry about as a king of a dead country, what do they want to do with me! ”

Fei Zhai said coldly: "Do you really think so? Great Chu is the overlord of the Southern Territory, and you are the direct prince of the Northern Territory, even if you are imprisoned here, but if you harm yourself or encounter an accident, will the Northern Leader give up this opportunity to raise an army to fight against the Chu State? When the time comes, Qi Xiaobai, the overlord of the Northern Territory, will definitely echo the heroes, and go south together to attack Chu, who loses and who wins, you should have a balance in your heart, and then the lives will be ruined, are you willing? ”

Cai Xianwu said: "It's not me who is the people of Cai Guo who died, I don't care!" ”

"Do you really care?" A smile tugged at the corner of Xi Fei's mouth, and said: "I heard from the King of Chu what you did to protect the people of Cai State, you may be incompetent, but you are definitely not an insensitive monarch, so you will definitely have a so-called!" ”

Xianwu looked at Fei Zhai's confidence incredulously, and smiled helplessly: "I don't understand, I really can't see through you." If you take care of the misery of life, you should not instigate the king of Chu to attack me; If you hate me, you will definitely want me to die, and if you can easily forgive me, you will not want the king of Chu to imprison me here for the rest of my life. What the hell do you think? Do you hate me? ”

Fei Zhai said: "Don't treat me as a saint, I'm just a woman." I hate when I hate, love deeply when I love, and sober and thorough when I am sober. You have ruined everything for me, how can I not hate you, I can't wait to peel your skin, smoke your scriptures, eat your flesh and drink your blood, and let you fall into hell and not be reborn, but I can't cause a situation of misery because of my own selfish desires. You are now a captive, but remember that you were once a king. ”

"And what are you doing here now?"

She replied, "I came here to borrow your life." ”

Cai Xianwu looked at the back of Concubine Zhai leaving, she is not the mature and enchanting little woman of Xiguo, she is now the wife of the king of Chu, the wife of Chu, a strategist in the hero. (To be continued.) )
