Su He got up and said with a smile: "The minister hereby invites Concubine Xi Niangniang to come and conspire to drive away Gongzi Qi, Gongzi Qi only took three days to find out the unjust case of Concubine Su Palace sixteen years ago after coming to Tho Kingdom, and Concubine Xi Niangniang suffered from the king's snub. Didn't Gongzi Qi's move arouse Concubine Xi's hatred for him? ”

"Of course, Gongzi Qi is a person in the palace who can't wait to kill him, but the doctor Wang Shu was killed because of this, and all the ministers who participated in the unjust case of Concubine Su sixteen years ago were demoted out of the court or sent to the border to fill the army, and some ministers were destroyed because of this, and now only the palace is alone in the palace! I don't know what Gongqing Su's plan is for this? "When it comes to Gongzi Qi, Concubine Xi's face or between her eyes shows some murderous aura, which can be seen how deep Concubine Xi's hatred for Gongzi Qi is, and how direct it is. After Concubine Xi said this, she kept looking at Su He.

Su He took a few steps forward, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Concubine Xi, Gongzi Qi's fatal weakness is that he is too affectionate, and it is inevitable that he will be hurt the most. He loves Princess Ling deeply, if Princess Ling is married far away in the Qin State, Gongzi Qi will become decadent and depressed because of the loss of Princess Ling, and lose his fighting spirit. At this time, Gongzi Qi's mind was scattered, and Concubine Xi Niangniang could arrange a killer to intercept and kill Gongzi Qi halfway, so as to relieve Concubine Xi's happiness. At present, what Concubine Xi has to do is to move the king to marry Princess Ling to the Qin State. ”

Concubine Xi kept nodding and looking at Su He's family, stood up and said, "Okay, but does the king still listen to me?" Believe me? ”

"If you move it with emotion and say it with reason, the king will believe it."

"Well, that makes sense," Concubine Xi nodded with a smile on her face after listening. Looking out of the gate, Su He then said, "The minister sent Concubine Xi Niangniang." ”

"No need, just stay here."

Concubine Xi put on a black cloak and hat and walked out with her head down, Su He and some other staff members looked at the back of Concubine Xi Niangniang walking out, and they all knelt down, looked out of the door and said, "The ministers are here to send Concubine Xi Niangniang." ”

King Tho sat in front of the desk in the imperial study to review the recitals, and there were many recitals piled up on one side of the desk, all of which were sent from various states and counties, and put the approved recitals aside. As soon as he was halfway through the reading, he felt a little tired, looking at the oil lamp on the copper lampstand next to the desk, its flame kept beating, illuminating the whole hall as if it were bright and dark, closing his eyes and stretching out his hand to rub between his eyebrows, taking a deep breath and feeling that he was a little relaxed.

The eunuch next to him saw that the king was so tired from reviewing the recital every day, and stepped forward and said with some distress: "The king wants to keep the dragon body, it's already in the middle of the night, it's time to go back to the palace to rest." ”

"Maybe it's because the widow is old, you guys go back first, the widow wants to go around the palace alone," King Tho raised his head and looked at the eunuch in front of him.

"The King."

"Go down," the eunuchs withdrew. King Tho stood up and walked down, looked at the desk above the main hall, and sighed. Walking out of the palace, his head lowered and his thoughts were incomprehensible, and his eyebrows were locked. Walk up the stairs into the corridor, stand on top of the tall building and lean on the railing, looking at the palace in the distance, the deep walls around it, the lake and the clear stream hidden in the darkness now, the verdant green bridge, and the mountain chrysanthemums in the dark. In autumn, many flowers in the palace began to wither, only green and green, and his heart was as dark, desolate, and lonely as this autumn scene. Walked downstairs along the small bridge, raised his head and looked at the dormitory in front of him, and unconsciously came to Cixin Palace, Cixin Palace is Concubine Xi's palace. King Tho was about to turn around and leave at this time, but there was a feeling of reluctance in his heart, standing in place and looking at this Cixin Palace, he couldn't help but walk in. Several maids stepped forward and knelt down and said in a panic: "Great King." ”

King Tho looked around and said, "Where is the concubine?" Why don't you come out to meet the widow? ”

"The slaves and maids don't know where the maid is going, please forgive the king," the maids knelt in front of the king and said in shock.

"You dog slaves can't even take care of the widow's concubine, come on, just drag these dog slaves out and take a heavy responsibility for twenty," King Tho turned angrily in the palace, turned around and scolded these maids.

"The king spare the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids will not dare in the future," the maids knelt in front of the king and cried for mercy.

"What are you doing here? Don't hurry out and look for it, slut, slut," King Tho said in a hurry as he walked around in the palace.

The maids all stood up and hurried out of the dormitory to look around. Concubine Xi's palace sedan chair entered the palace, slowly fell in front of the Cixin Palace, and when she walked in, she was taken aback, and found that King Tho was sitting on the bed in front of her, kneeling down with weak legs and saying, "Great King." The eunuch then entered, stunned, knelt on the ground and said, "Big, big, big... King. ”

"Slut, where did you say you went so late? If you don't say anything, I'll kill you. King Tho stood up angrily, drew his sword from his waist and stepped forward. Concubine Xi was so frightened that her face was pale, she screamed, and knelt down and leaned sideways. The eunuch knelt forward and held the long sword in the hand of King Tho, blood slowly dripped from the hand holding the sword, looked at King Tho and said: "King, this matter has nothing to do with Niangniang, it is the fault of the slave, you can kill the slave." King, this is for your sake! ”

"Dog minion, tell me, where did this slut go? Otherwise, the widow will kill you with you. ”

"Yunju Temple."

"What? You said that Concubine Ai went to Yunju Temple and returned at this time, right? King Tho was stunned, let go of the long sword in his hand, and took a few steps back and sat on the stool in front of the bed.

"Exactly, the king, Concubine Xi Niangniang goes to Yunju Temple every day to worship the Buddha, in order to protect the peace of the country, for the mistakes committed in this unjust case sixteen years ago, Niangniang goes to Yunju Temple every day to reflect on it, and orders people to withdraw meat and eat vegetarian food every day. The king, you see how the mother has lost weight, and the slave feels distressed for the king after seeing it! How can a mother's delicate body survive it? So the slave couldn't see it, so he accompanied Niangniang to Yunju Temple to eat fasting Buddha and pray for the fate of the country. ”

"Aifei, is what Mr. Deng said true?"

Concubine Xi looked at King Tho with a very pitiful look, and kept nodding, King Tho helped Concubine Xi up and said with some distress: "Concubine Ai, you have been wronged." ”

"This grievance is nothing, what the concubine is afraid of is that this move will not forgive my sins," Concubine Xi threw herself into the arms of King Tho and said very gently. Seeing this situation, Chief Manager Deng removed the palace maid to wait outside the palace gate and closed the palace gate.

King Tho pushed away Concubine Xi and stood up, walked in front of the bronze lamp, sighed, the sorrow in King Tho's heart did not know to whom, bitter! Concubine Xi looked at King Tho and said, "Does the king have anything on his mind?" The concubine Li Wei can't share the worries of the king, but the king has some unhappiness in his heart, and he can vent it on the concubine. ”

"Concubine," said King Tho, turning and stepping forward. Concubine Xi looked at King Tho and said, "If the king has anything on his mind, just tell me, and maybe the concubine can help you come up with ideas." ”

"The minister of the DPRK and China proposed to make peace with the Qin State and marry Lingling far away to the Qin State, and the widow didn't know how to tell Lingling about it."

"King, you are too worried, the strength of the Qin State is the best support of my Tho country, just like the concubine looking for a good king to rely on, the concubine was born poor, wandering, and then was selected by the doctor to be a maid in the house, do some fine work, and if you don't do it well, you will be beaten and scolded, and no one will tell you about the pain in your heart. The king entered the palace of the king and the concubines wrote by the king, and after seeing the king, the concubines found their own support, and there was no beating or bullying from the subordinates, so they were at ease. The strength of the Qin State is the best support of the Tho State, and with this powerful country as the backing of the Tho State, the other vassal states will not dare to look down on this weak country or attack us. The concubine knew that Lingling loved Gongzi Qi, but the king of Ba was not Gongzi Qi, but his younger brother, Gongzi Qi was just a fugitive and destitute person, who had lost his fighting spirit in the Tho country, and had no lofty ambition to return to the Tho country to regain the throne. If Lingling follows this person to live a wandering life, will Lingling be happy? The concubine knows that Lingling is a sensible child, very well-behaved and filial, and she will understand how good you are to her. ”

"Well, Concubine Ai said it well, the widow agreed, and made peace with the Qin State," King Tho suddenly said happily.

The red sun rises in the east, and the mountains are surrounded by red clouds. The civil and military officials entered the main hall in two ways, and looked at the king of Tho on the main hall is three kneeling and nine bowing. King Tho stretched out his wide sleeves and said happily: "Everyone, Aiqing is flat." ”

"King Xie," the civil and military officials under the main hall all stood up, looking at King Tho above the main hall, and lined up in two rows in order. King Tho said happily: "Today the widow is very happy, the matter of peace with the Qin State is approved, where is the Su He clan?" ”

"The minister is here," Su He stood up and looked at King Tho above the main hall.

"You sent an envoy to the State of Qin to discuss peace with the King of Qin, and the King of Qin replied after agreeing, and the widow arranged to send a peace envoy to marry Lingling."

"Obey the order," Su He knelt down and bowed.

Su Chengfa stood up and looked at King Tho above the main hall and said: "Father, the son thinks that this matter is inappropriate, Gongzi Qi guards the border town to resist foreign enemies, this move will make Gongzi Qi and his border guards chill, the king thinks twice!" Su Ji and Su Chang stood up and said: "The king, although the ministers were born in the army, they also know some major affairs of the court, and the Qin State has no reputation!" Not trustworthy. In the thirty-ninth year of King Xian of Zhou, Wei Ying changed the law in Qin, and in the battle to recover Hexi, it was this Wei Ying who used fraudulent means to deceive his friend Gongzi Wei in Wei into his camp and detain him, defeated Wei Wushu and his elite in the border pass in Hexi, and forced Wei to cede the land of Hexi and move the capital to Daliang. Later, when Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi arrived in Chu State, he deceived the King of Chu into exchanging Shang Yu 600 li of land for Chu and Qi to break off diplomatic relations and destroy the terms of the covenant. ”

"The decision of the widow has been decided, and you don't need to discuss it. Su Aiqing, is it possible to envoy Qin tomorrow? ”

"But," Su He said as he stood under the main hall and looked at King Tho above the main hall.

"Okay, the widow and all of you Aiqing are waiting for the good news from Su Aiqing in this hall."

"Please wait here for good news," Su He said before retreating.
