Sinjeong, South Korea

In the palace of South Korea, Minister Zhang Ping looked at King Han in front of him in despair, Han Wangran, sitting proudly on the top seat, squinting his eyes, not shocked, and couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry at all. Minister Zhang Ping, the son of Zhang Kaidi, and his father assisted five generations of Korean monarchs, known as the fourth and fifth ... Ahem, it's the fifth prime minister. And the feat of the five generations of Xianghan was completed by their father and son.

Zhang Ping frowned and said seriously: "Shangjun, between the Qin State and the Chu State, we have to make a choice... You treated the envoy of Chu so rudely, gave him a rough meal, and made him live in a simple house... I thought you were going to choose Qin, and I also told you that compared to Chu, Qin is a greater threat to Korea, and you shouldn't ally with them, but if you make a decision, the minister won't say anything more, but you are so indifferent to the envoys of Qin, why is this?! ”

Han Wangran still had that calm appearance, as if he had a mature strategy and his own ideas, he didn't even look at Zhang Ping, and said coldly: "The widow has his own ideas, please don't worry." Zhang Ping's whole body trembled, and after relieving for a long time, Zhang Fang said seriously: "Shangjun, the Chu State wants to ally all countries to resist the invasion of the Qin State, which is a good thing for Korea. ”

"The Qin State is trying to win over Korea in order to break up the alliance, you must know that being close to the Chu State is..."

"The widow has his own thoughts...", King Han said, glanced at Zhang Ping, and asked: "The widow heard, these days, you have been discussing with the envoy of the Chu State?" ”

"The minister is negotiating with him about drawing up an alliance, the envoy of Chu is a Han, although Chu is also uneasy and kind, but standing with Chu State, when Qin invades, there are countries willing to help us...", Zhang Ping said seriously, King Han interrupted his words again, nodded, oh, his face was still so mysterious, unpredictable, he said: "Please let Yushi, lieutenant, they come to the palace to meet me." ”

"Shangjun...", Zhang Ping bowed to King Han, his voice trembled a little, he raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, he said: "Korea has a catastrophe of destruction, please listen to the advice of the minister... Two big countries come to woo South Korea, and South Korea has to make a choice... Please...", King Han saw Zhang Ping like this, hurriedly stood up, walked to his side, helped him up with a smile, and said helplessly; "Please don't worry."

"The widow will listen to your advice, please go back and rest, the more times like this, the more you should seem to care, you can go hunting outside the city, in this way, the envoys of the two countries will also be jealous, and dare not act indiscriminately...", King Han said, sending Zhang Ping out of the main hall. Zhang Ping walked out of the hall numbly, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad, looking crazy.

Han Wangran admired Shen Buharm very much, and regarded Shen Buharm's change as his own governing philosophy, and enthusiastically complied with it. Shen Buxian changed the law in Korea, what he pursued was the imperial technique, the so-called "technique", mainly refers to the method of appointing, supervising and assessing the subordinates of the monarch, this is of course a good method, Xinling Jun in Zhao State, Pingyuan Jun in Wei State, all took the same method to rectify the rule of officials.

But the problem is that Shen Buxian's thinking attaches more importance to the "imperial technique", and after seriously studying this kind of knowledge, the fanatical Han Wang believes that when the emperor governs the country, it is best to adopt a secret power trick, and on the surface he does not show his face, pretending not to listen, not to see, and not to know, so that his subordinates cannot understand the true intentions of the monarch, but in fact they can hear everything, see everything, and know everything, so that they can "see alone", "listen alone", and thus "make decisions".

After sending Zhang Ping away, Han Wangran laughed, a smart person like Zhang Ping has not been able to guess his intentions, it seems that the widow's technique is becoming more and more proficient. King Han thought about it seriously, now the two big countries hope to get South Korea's help, at this time, it is even more important for these two countries to guess the intentions of the widows, so that they can increase their attention to South Korea, this is what they should do, how can a mediocre person like Zhang Ping guess this?

King Han shook his head disdainfully, but alas, Nuoda South Korea can't find half of the virtuous ministers.

"Shangjun wants to maneuver between the two countries, so that they can pay more attention to South Korea and use greater interests to get South Korea's help." , Zhang Ping said to the imperial history, the lieutenant, the imperial history is called Han Su, who is a disciple of the office, and the lieutenant is called Mu, who is a sage recommended and promoted by Zhang Ping personally. When they heard Zhang Ping's words, Han Su opened his mouth and asked, "Is what the Lord did right?" ”

Zhang Ping smiled bitterly, raised his head, and said bitterly: "How can this be correct.... If Shangjun continues like this, I am afraid that the Qin State will raise troops again, and Chu Zhao and other countries will not come to help again, and Korea will perish...", Han Su was silent for a long time before asking: "Then why don't you go to Shangjun?" ”

Zhang Ping glanced at him, but did not speak, Han Su also quickly realized that he had asked a very stupid question, shook his head with a wry smile, raised his head and sighed: "We are all going to become people who have lost our country." Zhang Ping thought for a moment before he said, "I have a way... But... Alas. Zhang Ping said, suddenly looked at the two ministers in front of him, and said seriously: "Please two of you to assist the king wholeheartedly." ”

As he spoke, he was about to bow down to the two of them, but before Han Su could react, Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Ping's hands, not letting him salute, Mu looked at Zhang Ping in front of him seriously, and said: "Please don't do this, South Korea can do without others, but not without you, if you are not in South Korea, South Korea will definitely perish." ”

Mu's age is not very old, among the three, he is the youngest, and Zhang Ping thinks that he is also the most talented, Zhang Ping still wants to say something, but Mu shook his head, he looked at Han Su, and said: "Please go and meet the king, just tell me that I am not feeling well, and I will be able to rush to the palace later." Han Su looked at him blankly and nodded.

Bidding farewell to Zhang Ping and Han Su, Mu returned to his courtyard and opened the door, where his virtuous wife was cooking, and his young son was riding a bamboo and running around in the courtyard. Mu laughed, how happy he was, he had a virtuous and beautiful wife, and a naughty but kind son, when he saw his father coming back, the little guy hurriedly raised the wooden sword in his hand, pointed in the direction of his father, and shouted: "There is an enemy!" ”

After speaking, he rushed over, waved the wooden sword indiscriminately, and shouted: "Korean General Teng is here, you have been surrounded by the Korean army, get out of the car and surrender!" Mu pretended to cover his stomach and hurriedly said: "I am willing to surrender to the Korean general!" The little guy laughed and rushed into his father's arms, Mu picked up the child, laughed and walked to his wife, who was licking rice, and couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw the father and son messing around.

The family happily ate a delicious meal, Mu stood up, hugged his son again, kissed his face heavily, and said seriously: "When I am not at home, you can protect your mother well, and no one can bully her." Teng looked at his father, laughed, nodded and said: "The Korean general Teng is here, no one dares to bully his mother!" ”

Mu smiled and hugged him again.

The wife was a little uneasy, she watched her lover hug the child tightly, but tears flowed from her eyes. She was about to speak, Mu shook his head at her, put down the child, walked to her side, and hugged her tightly, his wife trembled, and hurriedly hugged the two, the two hugged each other for a long time, Mu waved goodbye to the two, looked deeply at his child and wife, and then left the courtyard.

The young Teng waved goodbye to his father, looked up, and saw his mother who was sobbing, and he asked suspiciously, "Mother, why are you crying?" ”

...........

The envoy of the State of Chu sat in the guest house, looking at the rough Su in front of him, his face was very gloomy, this mere South Korea, he dared to treat the State of Chu like this, well, it seems that the matter of this alliance, South Korea does not plan to participate, heh, tomorrow I will go back to the State of Chu, and tell Chun Shenjun about this stupid king, he was thinking, suddenly a person walked in, it was a burly young man, wearing a sword, he bowed down to the envoy of the State of Chu, and asked, "But the envoy of Chu?" ”

Chu Envoy nodded blankly.

The same is true of the Qin envoy, he is even more angry than the Chu envoy, in these days, the Qin State is in pain to fight South Korea, and has been defeated and retreated, if the Qin State really wants to destroy Korea, it is not difficult at all, at this time, the King of Han dares to treat himself so indifferently, it is difficult to understand that they really want to decide to serve the Chu State? Thinking of this, Qin Envoy couldn't help but sneer, did he really think that Chu State could protect South Korea?

If Wu Anjun makes a move, before Chu State reacts, Korea will perish.

He was thinking about how to make King Han change his mind, when he saw someone walk into his house, the person who came was a Korean minister he had never seen before, followed by a Chu person, the Korean minister raised his head, looked at the Qin envoy with disdain, and asked, "You are the Qin envoy?" The Qin envoy was furious, got up and asked, "Is this the etiquette of the Korean people to treat guests?" ”

"Etiquette?" The Korean minister seemed to be very angry, he rushed up and grabbed the neck of the Qin envoy, and the Qin envoy found that the Han minister in front of him was almost a head taller than himself, and the Korean minister asked angrily: "The Korean people treat the guests who come with goodwill with the best etiquette, but do you still expect to get our goodwill when you treat the enemy who seizes the Korean land and slaughters the Korean people?" ”

He punched Qin Envoy in the abdomen, and Qin Envoy bent down in pain.

"Korea has decided to accept Chu's proposal, draw up an alliance with the other countries, stop the war, you want Korea to drive out the envoy of Chu, but I want to expel you from the land of Korea! Sooner or later, I will let the Qin people withdraw from all Korean lands1", the minister said angrily, and pulled him out of the house, the Qin envoy found that the samurai who had followed him had been subdued at this moment, and he stared at the Korean minister with resentment.

"Because of this incident, Korea will perish!"

"What you said is not right, the countries have been fighting for too long, it is time to stop the war, the envoy sent by the Chu State to the Qin State should have drawn up an alliance, how can they continue to fight?" , The envoy of the State of Chu not far away said with a sneer.

The Qin envoy was furious, but he was escorted by the Korean minister and walked out of here, the Korean minister was naturally the lieutenant Mu, Mu escorted the Qin envoy, and under the watch of the envoy of the Chu State, he took him to the carriage, and the Korean warriors were armed with crossbows, so they escorted many Qin envoys towards the city gate, and the Chu envoy followed all the way.

"What did you say?!" , King Han in the palace could no longer maintain that calm, he almost jumped up, looking at the warrior in front of him, "How dare Mu?" How dare he do this! There are no orders from the widows! How dare he!! Han Wang shouted angrily, he looked at Han Su on the side, and after a while, he calmed down, continued to sit on the top seat, and tried to pretend not to care, but, with a slightly trembling body, it could be seen that he was actually not calm.

"Su... What do you think should be done about this? ”

Han Su let out a long sigh and said, "If Mu dares to act like this, we have no way to redeem it, we can only severely punish Mu's behavior... Si Ko Lou, a wise and just man, asked the lord to let him punish Mu's behavior, and then appoint his ministers to entertain the envoys of the Chu State. The envoy of Qin has been driven away by Mu, and if the envoy of Chu also leaves, Korea will be retaliated by Qin. ”

King Han nodded, squinted his eyes, and ordered, "Please let Lou let you meet the widow." ”

Han Su hurriedly walked out of the palace, found Si Kolou, and said to him: "Mu is a sage in Korea, please save his life." Lou didn't know what was going on, he looked at Han Su in front of him blankly, nodded, and then rushed to the palace.

......

In the courtyard, his wife was standing at the door, looking into the distance, and the little guy was still running around on a bamboo, he didn't know what his mother was waiting for, and he didn't know what his mother was crying about, but he remembered that before leaving, his father had told him to take care of his mother, so whenever his mother cried, he would rush up, hug her, and learn to comfort her like an adult, and his mother would always be amused by him and couldn't help laughing, and she would no longer be sad.

On this day, my father did not come back in time, and he did not come back all night.

The mother didn't mention it either.

The next day, his father still didn't come back, Teng missed his father a little, for some reason, he stood in the courtyard, dropped the bamboo, couldn't help crying, he didn't know why he was crying, his mother hugged him, made him a delicious meal, and made him a toy, which coaxed him to sleep.

On the third day, a lot of people came to Teng's house, Teng was afraid to hide in the distance, did not dare to come out, he saw a group of people carrying a person covered by a cloth, into the courtyard, his mother suddenly cried, Teng angrily ran out with a wooden sword, and even stabbed a bad person who "bullied" his mother, his mother severely reprimanded him, let him apologize to the person who came, the person who was stabbed did not blame Teng, he sent Teng a lot of things, he said: These are sent to him by his father.

However, when Teng asked about his father, the man did not dare to speak.

Han Lieutenant Mu was killed by the king of Han because he expelled the envoys of Qin without authorization and drew up an alliance with the envoys of Chu without permission.

The day after Mu's death, Han Si Kolou committed suicide.

On the third day, Han Yu Shisu committed suicide.

Kneeling in front of their grave, Zhang Ping beat his face and wept heartbreakingly.
