The Chu army was defeated, and the matter spread to the court of Shu, and the court was panicked, and they were all discussing about this matter, and the minister who advocated peace stood up and said: "King, the Chu army has been defeated, and now the soldiers of Pakistan are besieging Chengdu, hurry up and negotiate peace, if Chengdu is captured, then our Shu State will really face destruction, and it will be too late to regret it." ”

The king of Shu sat on the top of the main hall, and said with some trepidation in his heart: "How to negotiate peace?" ”

"Kill Fan Hao, the main war adviser of the Chu State, and send the envoy of Yihe to the camp of the Ba State to present Fan Hao's head, saying that it is this person's idea that even Chu will attack Ba."

"Well, that's all there is to it."

"Because of a momentary mistake, I killed the strategist who gave advice to the country, it seems that the Shu Kingdom is about to end, it is about to end," Fan Hao stood up and looked at the guards on both sides, and walked out of the palace gate with a big smile. After the king of Shu killed his adviser Fan Hao, he put Fan Hao's head in a wooden box, and sent an envoy to drive out of Chengdu to the camp tent of Ba State, looking at the generals on the left and right, and looking at the national teacher Yin Sheng in front of the desk. National Teacher Yin Sheng sneered at the envoys under him: "The audience is the envoy of the Shu Kingdom. ”

The envoy of Shu stood in the middle of these generals, looked at Yin Sheng, the national teacher in front of the desk, and saluted: "Exactly." ”

National Teacher Yin Sheng moved his gaze to the wooden box in the envoy's hand and said, "I don't know what is in this wooden box?" ”

"This is the head of the strategist Fan Hao, and it is this person who slandered and incited the king to resist the Ba army, and went to the Chu State to lobby the King of Chu to attack the capital of the Ba State, Langzhong, and after the defeat of the Chu army, the king clearly realized that he was deceived by this person, so he killed him and Ba Qiu and retreated," the envoy held up the wooden box with both hands and looked at the national teacher Yin Sheng in front of the desk was very sincere.

"Okay, bring this wooden box up," the national teacher Yin Sheng looked at the wooden box held up by the envoy with some joy, and pretended to be serious, so as to hide the joy in his heart and prevent the envoy from seeing this.

The envoy held up the wooden box with both hands, lowered his head, and slowly retreated after the wooden box was placed on the desk. The national teacher Yin Sheng stood up and opened the wooden box, which was indeed filled with a bloody human head, his eyes stared out, looking at the sky, it seemed that this Fan Hao was dead! The national teacher Yin Sheng looked at the human head in the wooden box and said: "You Shu want my country to withdraw troops and negotiate peace, you can, but there is one condition." ”

"On what terms?" The envoy looked at the national teacher Yin Sheng in front of the desk and said with some doubts.

"Cut fifteen cities, and compensate for the loss of five million taels of gold and silver."

"What? "The envoy took a few steps back in a panic, stunned in place, his mind was buzzing, he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly it was blank.

"Any questions?" The national teacher Yin Sheng turned around and sat down at the desk, looking at the envoy with some displeasure in his heart. At this time, the envoy lowered his head, sweated coldly, his hands and legs trembled constantly, and he said a little hesitantly: "This, please allow me to go back and discuss with the king in the next place." ”

"Okay, Poor Dao hereby orders General Luo Bin to storm Chengdu, do you want Chengdu in Shu or fifteen cities and five million taels of gold and silver to compensate for the loss, you weigh it yourself," the envoy immediately raised his head after hearing this, and looked at Yin Sheng, the national teacher in front of the desk, with dull eyes.

"Where is General Luo Bin?"

"The last general," Deputy General Luo Bin stepped forward and looked at the national teacher Yin Shengdao in front of the desk.

"You can lead 100,000 elite soldiers to attack Chengdu, bows, crossbows, trebuchets and other siege equipment cooperate with each other, be sure to capture Chengdu tonight," the national teacher Yin Sheng took out the token from the box next to the desk and threw it. "The last general will take the order," Luo Bin picked up the token and was about to exit.

"Nope! No! The envoy hurriedly stepped forward and shouted in panic. Luo Bin turned to look at the envoy, looking at the national teacher Yin Sheng in front of the desk.

"The envoy has agreed to this condition."

"Yes, I agree to pay compensation for the cession of land," the envoy at this time was already weak, but he was helpless and helpless.

Shu agreed to the peace conditions of Ba, and Ba withdrew and continued to attack Chu. If the state of Chu is defeated again, it will be just around the corner, and the people in the court of the state of Tho are panicked, and the king of Tho is worried when he sits on the top of the hall. At this time, Su He stood up and looked at King Tho on the top of the main hall and said: "King, the Shu State has been defeated, and if the Chu State is defeated again, my Tho State will be in danger." ”

"I don't know what Su Aiqing's plan is? It can solve the crisis of the Tho country," King Tho looked at the Su He clan under the main hall, and his heart was extremely anxious.

"Great King, which of the Seven Kingdoms of Shandong is the most powerful," Su He stood at the bottom of the main hall and saluted, looking at King Tho above the main hall.

"Qin State."

"The Qin State is the most powerful, why don't we make peace with the Qin State, and reconcile with the Qin State, the prince of the Qin State is an adult, and he has not yet married, so the king can use this to make peace with the Qin State and protect the Tho State from facing annihilation."

"The widow has two daughters, the eldest daughter is married, and only the second daughter Ling is not yet married, but the second daughter has long belonged to her heart, and this kind of practice will hurt her heart, and the father does not want to see his daughter sad for this."

"My lord, Gongzi Qi is just a down-and-out son, can he compete with the soldiers and horses of Pakistan? No! Gongzi Qi can't save the fate of the weakening of my Tho country or being annexed by other powerful countries, the Qin state is strong, and only by making peace with the Qin state and stopping the war can we talk about it for a long time. ”

"Let the widow think first."

"King, if you don't make a decisive decision at this time, my country will be worried."

"The widow knows, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, retreat from the court," King Tho stood up and walked into the inner hall. Su He stood under the main hall and looked at the back of King Tho departing above the main hall, and turned to leave. When they went down the steps of the palace, Su Ji and Su Chang stepped forward and said, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" Let Lingling marry Qin Guo far away, and marry someone she doesn't like, will Lingling be happy in this life? ”

"Have you forgotten? Childe Qi destroyed our three cities, you forgot but I haven't forgotten, I want to let Childe Qi taste the loss of his beloved, just like I lost the three cities. Besides, Lingling married Qin Guo as the crown princess, and she will be the queen and queen mother in the future. I killed two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone to let Gongzi Qi get out of the country of Tho, and I didn't kill him and was the greatest mercy to him. Su He looked outside the palace gate, and looked a little tall after putting his hands down.

"If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, big brother, you can do it yourself," Su Ji and Su Chang shook their sleeves and left. Su He looked at the backs of the two of them, turned around and left with some indignation, returned to his house, and some staff members came forward, and said, "Come and see, see how I write this poem?" How is this written? ”

"The water is murmuring, and the clouds and mountains are long. Climb high and look at the hill, a horse and a flat river.

Fog obstructs and worries. Who knows what worries me? Who knows I'm safe?

Flowing clouds and flowing water, Wumo rivers and mountains. Thousands of miles still exist, and the mountains are high and ask the immortals.

Immortal Pavilion Cloud Tower, ascending not far away. Who is in the world, conquering the smoke of war.

——Zhongxian Poetry Anthology "Yunshan Commenting on the World"

"Good poems, good words, the lord's ambition is like this mountain and the river," these staff members stepped forward and praised Su He's poem after reading it. A staff member looked at Su He very seriously and said, "The great ambition of the lord will not be in this poem." ”

"No, of course not."

"So where is the Lord's ambition? How come we don't see it? It is to see the ambition of the lord every day in this poem and painting, to be content with the status quo. ”

"If I don't write poems and paint here, then how can I dispel the king's wariness of me?"

"The lord's subordinates admire the depth of his plan, I don't know what the lord plans to do next?"

"Gongzi Qi found out about the palace injustice case around 16 years ago in less than three days, and the king killed Concubine Xi's most trusted minister, Shangdafu Wang. Therefore, this Concubine Xi hates Gongzi Qi to the core, and we might as well meet Concubine Xi. ”

Concubine Xi sat in front of the dresser, looking at the bronze mirror, her face haggard. At this time, a eunuch walked in, followed by a person. Concubine Xi looked at the man behind the eunuch: "Director Deng, who is this person?" The man behind the eunuch walked out and said: "Concubine Xi, the little one is here to pass on the letter of my master, and my master wants to meet Concubine Xi." ”

"I wonder who your master is?"

"Su Ho Clan."

"Where?"

"Tonight's Joy Inn."

Late at night, the four people carried out the palace sedan chair out of the darkness and parked in front of the Yuelai Inn. Stretching out a hand from the palanquin, a eunuch bowed forward, resting his hand on the crook of the eunuch's outstretched arm, and walked out wearing a black cloak. After stepping down, he looked behind him and walked into the Yuelai Inn accompanied by a eunuch. The eunuch turned to face these subordinates as he walked in: "Keep an eye on our family." ”

"Yes."

Accompanied by the eunuch, the black-cloaked man walked into the inner hall and removed the black cloak that covered his head. only to know that this person was Concubine Xi. Su He and some other staff members stepped forward and knelt down and bowed, "The ministers are here to meet Concubine Xi." ”

"Su Gongqing, please get up, I don't know why Su Gongqing called this palace here?" Concubine Xi stepped forward and sat down and looked at Su He in front of her.
