On the other side, Jing Li looked at Prince Heng, and then at King Chu, and saw that both of them were expressionless, and his heart suddenly sank.

Not only did the king of Chu disapprove of the war against the Song Dynasty, but even most of the important ministers in the court also resolutely opposed it, the reason was not anything else, but the time was far from ripe, and the state of Chu did not have the certainty of victory.

It was easy for the State of Chu to defeat the State of Song, but let the army led by Jing Cui and Kuang Zhang fight a decisive battle in the State of Song, not only in the capital of Ying, the monarchs and ministers of the State of Chu had no confidence, but even the State of Zhu Jing Cui had no confidence.

It's not that Jing Cui will definitely be defeated, but as long as Jing Cui doesn't win, for Chu State, it will be a loss.

If Jing Cui was dragged by Kuang Zhang in the Song State, then the Chu State's originally perfect defense line would have a fatal loophole.

Therefore, in the past few months, although the king of Chu has not expressed his position on the war of the Song Dynasty, everyone knows in their hearts that the king of Chu is still hesitant and a little worried in their hearts, so they have never expressed their support.

Not supporting, this is opposition.

And this time, the crown prince suddenly came forward to agree to this matter, which was actually very dissatisfied by the king of Chu.

But...

Jing Li's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the crown prince was not stupid enough to come forward in person, which embarrassed the king of Chu.

Thinking of this, Jing Carp immediately coughed lightly twice, which was particularly conspicuous in the quiet hall.

Then, Jing Li walked from the crowd to the middle of the main hall and saluted: "King, the minister thinks that it is not time to cut down the Song Dynasty at this time!" ”

Before Jing Li could explain, at this time, Pan Jun walked out of the crowd and said, "Dare to ask Ling Yin, why is this?" ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

Secretly frightened: Why, can't even Ling Yin personally go out to suppress the ministers?

Do you want to let him, the king of Chu, make a statement in person?

···

At dusk, the court discussion was settled in the arguments of the ministers.

After Xiong Huai left the main hall, he walked on the way to the harem, thinking of the things in the court, and his mood was quite heavy.

The prince is still old after all!

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Pass the widow's edict and invite Mrs. Qin and Han Meiren to accompany the widow for dinner!" ”

"Yui!"

The next morning.

Chen Zhen was about to enter the palace to ask to see the King of Chu, but he didn't want to, so he had an affair outside the palace with Yin Jingli.

"Ling Yin!" Chen Zhen took the lead in saluting.

"Assassin Shi Ling!" Jing Li smiled and said, "Could it be that Shi Ling entered the palace at this time, and he also had something important to ask to see the king?" ”

Chen Zhen was stunned, and then responded: "That's right." Could it be that Ling Yin also has something important to ask to see the king? ”

"Exactly!" Jing Li nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, you and I will go together to ask to see the king!" ”

"No!" Chen Zhen responded: "Ling Yin, please!" ”

In the palace.

At this time, Han Meiren looked at Xiong Huai nervously, while Mrs. Qin smiled and accompanied the waiter.

Xiong Huai was drawing his bow at this time, staring intently at the arrow target full of arrows twenty steps away, and after aiming for a long time, he smiled slightly and let go of the fingers of his right hand.

Then, only a loud sound was heard, and the arrow was firmly inserted into the target.

Seeing this, Han Meiren immediately shouted excitedly: "King, I shot again, a whole pot of arrows, all of them were shot, it was really a hundred shots, and the arrows were not missed!" ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, then rubbed Han Meiren's hair, and scolded with a doting smile: "Sycophancy, flattery, Yangjun and Pan Jun hundreds of years ago can shoot arrows into the bullseye a hundred steps away, that is called a hundred shots and a hundred hits." The widow shot no more than twenty steps, such a close distance, even the bull's-eye can't be shot, just say 100 shots, this word spreads, aren't you afraid that other people will laugh at the widow and be ashamed! ”

"The king is the king of Chu, who dares to talk about it? Also, the king, you messed up the concubine's hair again! Han Meiren straightened her somewhat messy hair, and couldn't help pouting and saying in disgust.

Hearing this, Xiong Huai glanced up and down at Han Meiren, and said with a smile: "Don't blame the beauty, since the beauty entered the palace when she was young, the widow has been rubbed from childhood to adulthood, and she is used to it, and she can't help but want to rub it." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai stretched out his hand again and poked into Han Meiren's head.

Han Meiren's cheeks were hot when she heard this, and then her head turned away, and she took the initiative to meet Xiong Huai's hand, and said shamefully: "King, Sister Qin is still here!" ”

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she watched King Chu mess up Han Meiren's hair affectionately again, and suddenly showed envy. Then, thinking of Gongzi Wangcai, he smiled slightly.

Xiong Huai laughed, hugged Mrs. Qin, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, Madam is not an outsider." ”

The three of them frolicked for a while, and a waiter reported: "King, Ling Yin and Assassin Shi Ling ask to meet." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned and hesitated: "Ling Yin is also here?" ”

As he spoke, he immediately straightened out his somewhat messy clothes and ordered: "Please Ling Yin and Assassin Shi Ling go to the main hall later, and the widow will arrive later." In addition, after the rhino head arrives, you don't have to report to the widow, just ask the rhino head to go to the main hall too! ”

"Yui!"

Then, Xiong Huaiyou smiled at the two people beside him: "Madam, beauty, the widow will go to deal with state affairs, and later, when it is time for dinner, you will come to accompany the widow to eat!" ”

When Mrs. Qin and Han Meiren heard this, they immediately straightened their faces and responded, "Yes, King!" ”

In the temple.

Xiong Huai opened his mouth and asked, "Ling Yin, I don't know what happened to the widow?" ”

Jing Li touched his slender beard and said with a smile: "King, the minister did not have something to ask to see the king, but I heard that the assassin Shi Ling had something important to ask to see the king, and the minister was worried about state affairs, so he came to listen." ”

Xiong Huai and Chen Zhen were stunned at the same time.

Jing Li then looked at Chen Zhen and said, "Assassin Shi Ling, just outside the palace, didn't you say that you have something important to report to the king?" Now that I see the king, I can say it. ”

"This..." Chen Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't react for a while.

Just now, he and Jing Li met unexpectedly outside the palace, obviously to enter the palace to see the king of Chu. As a result, now that he saw the King of Chu, Jing Li had nothing to do, but said that he came specifically for him, which was clearly premeditated.

Chen Zhen reacted at this time, maybe Jing Li was waiting for him outside the palace a long time ago, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

As for the purpose of Jing Carp?

It should be what he wants to report to the King of Chu.

Thinking about it, Chen Zhen couldn't help but hesitate, what he wanted to report today was something related to the prince, and it was inconvenient for others to know.

When Jing Li saw that Chen Zhen was reluctant to speak, he immediately said angrily: "Assassin Shi Ling, is there something important in the Chu State, or can't I, Ling Yin, know?"

Or is it that this assassination order asked to see the king for the purpose of slandering and not letting others know? ”

Jing Li's words were very heavy, and when Chen Zhen heard it, cold sweat broke out.

At this time, Xiong Huai smiled and said: "Ling Yin Yan is serious, what else can Ling Yin not know about the affairs of my Chu State!" It's just that yesterday the widow asked Shi Ling to check whether there was any enemy interference in this huge discussion of the Song Dynasty in the country. The widow is worried about whether this controversy in my Chu State is the same as the Song State a few months ago, and there is an enemy country secretly promoting it!

It's just to avoid the leakage of news, so I specially ordered Assassin Shiling to pay attention to secrecy! ”
