On this day, he suddenly came to the bedroom of King Yue. Yue Wang Bushou, his expression was a little serious, maybe he knew that there were some major things happening, so he asked: "I don't know if I suddenly visited, what do you have to say?" ”

The expression of the sun was still the same as usual, so indifferent: "King Yue, some things may not be able to know the truth at all just by relying on information and intelligence, since there are many doubts about the Qi royal family, so I decided to go to the Qi country with a few of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue to find out." ”

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yue Wang Bushou asked as if he was a little worried.

It seems that he has already made a decision, and this time he came just to inform King Yue Bushou: "Yes, it is a matter of national security, and I have to do this." I also hope that King Yue can give permission, and at the same time go to Qi country, we King Yue Eight Swords prepare four people, in addition to me, there are Xuan Qian, startling salamanders, but evil.

The remaining four people should be enough to guard the safety of the palace, in addition, although Lord Wei looks young, he is actually strong in martial arts, and the strength of the sword of King Goujian in his hand should not be underestimated, which is enough to be the sole leader of King Yue. ”

King Yue Bushou nodded in agreement and said, "Lord Wei is indeed like this, you must be more careful when you go to Qi this time." If the situation is severe, you can remain dormant for a longer period of time, and there is no hurry for you to be able to return sooner. In addition, I don't really blame the employers behind the suicide for such an assassination, sometimes as long as you are strong enough, there is no such danger. Go boldly and with confidence! ”

"Okay, the sun-covering is over." He bowed his head in thanks, then slowly stepped back, and finally turned to leave. Slowly walking out of the palace, the three people outside the door immediately walked out, walked with him, and left after a while.

At the same time as the Eight Swords of King Yue, the general Hua Qiming, the envoy of the active Chu State, finally returned to Langya after a long journey of more than ten days.

A grand welcome ceremony, and the labor army officially began. King Yue is not long, dressed in luxurious clothes, presiding over some important things here, and fulfilling the friendship of the landlord. At the welcome ceremony, the ministers congratulated all of them, and at the same time, they were also very proud of the envoys of Chu who came all the way to visit. After all, only the envoys of the weaker countries would personally visit the capital of the powerful country, which is usually called a pilgrimage.

Wei Ziheng silently stood in the crowd and looked at the group of envoys of the Chu State, who were graceful and dressed in the clothes of the officials of the Chu State, and followed behind the army.

After the welcoming ceremony, it was followed by more serious talks. First came a small meeting of the Yue family, followed by a meeting of the envoys of the Chu State.

The location was chosen in the large palace where the Yue Kingdom court entertained guests, and the military attachés and generals such as Hua Qiming, Yu Renzhi and Li Ran sat aside. The highest, Lu Li, Mu Renhe and other civil ministers sat on the other side. Wei Ziheng is still standing by King Yue's side as usual.

Hua Qiming stood up, his voice was loud, and he made a regular marching report: "King Yue, this expedition is quite smooth, the passage is unimpeded along the way, in the battle on the border, the Chu army broke and fled, captured more than 1,000 Chu troops, killed hundreds on the spot, made the Chu army frightened, and also captured several generals of the Chu State. Stabilized security in the border areas. ”

After hearing this, King Yue Bushou patted his throne with his right hand and said, "In this way, it is very good." Then there is General Lao. The first future passed through Gusu to destroy the Wu League, and the general's merit was added to the first class, and at the same time, the captain Yu Renzhi assisted him wholeheartedly, and his contribution was not shallow, and he was hereby promoted to the rank of general. ”

Yu Renzhi suddenly felt a little crazy in his heart when he heard this, but then he set his eyes on King Yue in a high position and Wei Ziheng beside him. He thought carefully in his heart, maybe his ability was not as good as this, and he was not old enough to be able to take charge on his own, but he was still awarded the position of general. It seems that this Lord Wei should be secretly promoted. Yu Renzhi suddenly had some trepidation, and immediately stood up and thanked him: "Thank you to the king of Yue for the important task, the minister must go to the soup and die for the birth and death of the Yue country." ”

Hua Qiming also showed some more relieved smiles on the side, after all, Yu Renzhi was a general he had cultivated himself.

Mu Renhe also stood up at this time and said: "Gusu Taishou, Wang Ling." The provision of logistical support and material support for the general should be rewarded, and the meritorious man should not be buried. ”

Yue Wang Bushou nodded slowly and said, "It makes sense to say so. As for how to add the award, please discuss it with merit and arrange for good students. ”

"Command!" The tall man said on the side.

Lu Li also stood up at this time and said: "The minister thinks that since the Black Tiger Gang assisted King Yue, he has done a lot of good things. Whether it was the previous extermination of the Wu League, or the later elimination of evil near Langya City, or the standing up in the assassination incident. The ministers thought that they should be given some monetary reward to comfort the faithful. ”

That makes sense. Then this matter will also be arranged by the Prime Minister. King Yue was not long, sitting on a high seat, looking at his courtiers seriously.

The rest of the conversation seems simpler, and official. The great general Hua Qiming, in fact, has already heard of the assassination in the palace, and has heard the details and specifics. He still had lingering palpitations about the death of the former prime minister Luo Su, and he directly proposed to go to the cemetery outside the city to pay tribute to the prime minister Luo Su later, and at the same time personally visit Luo Su's family to express his condolences.

After a brief narrative, the envoys of the State of Chu officially entered the main hall. One of the envoys headed by him was a minister of the state of Chu, named Xiang Guang. Beside him, there was a person from the Chu royal family, whose name was Mi He, who was tall, personable, and had the Confucian charm of reading. Behind them were some entourage, as well as Yunmeng's disciples who were guarding in secret.

Xiang Guang, as a minister, behaves with courtesy, especially at this kind of envoy meeting: "Xiang Guang, the son of the minister of Chu, visited the king of Yue. ”

"Get up! Take a seat quickly. King Yue said very kindly.

Mi He also saluted with both hands quite politely at this time and said: "The Chu royal family Mi He, who has long admired the prestige of King Yue Bushou, has come to see him. ”

Mi He, this name kept echoing in Wei Ziheng's mind, and it seemed that he had heard his junior brother Mi Yang talk about it. seems to be a cousin, who is deeply loved by Xiong Qi, the king of Chu, and has great power and prestige in the intricate power struggle of the king of Chu. In addition, there is very little understanding, after all, his junior disciples are often reluctant to mention the undercurrent of their Chu royal family.

After that, what came into Wei Ziheng's ears were some extremely polite words. Full of official language and some flattery, although sometimes I don't want to hear it, but to some extent it is also a kind of etiquette.

After Xiang Guang casually recounted, he turned the topic directly to the right: "Lord Yue Wang Regarding the territorial dispute between the two countries, the King of Chu ordered me to come here to coordinate with King Yue. ”

King Yue smiled knowingly, touched his throne and said, "This is very good, but it doesn't hurt you to say it." After all, this is a problem left to our ancestors, as a descendant, we should actively solve it, and it is a last resort for our general Hua Qi to mobilize the people. Since the king of Chu has the idea of actively resolving the problem, then I also hope that the people of the two countries can live and work in peace and contentment and resolve the contradictions. Let's talk about the thoughts of the King of Chu. ”

Mi He stood up to the side at this time, and said in a straight voice: "King Yue, the area around the Chu-Yue border was originally a barren land, and weeds were reborn and beasts were infested, so it was not a suitable place for people to live. For the previous conflict, it was the improper coordination of our Chu State that caused such a tragedy. The King of Chu asked me to apologize to the King of Yue, and at the same time hoped that we could actively negotiate and redraw the border. ”

The corner of the highest's mouth smiled slightly, this kind of envoy meeting was actually very beneficial to the Yue country, in the border land, the Yue country had already gained the upper hand, and the general Hua Qi had already defeated the Chu army in the border land before. In all its forms, Vietnam should strive for more land. In this is a question of national sovereignty as well as fundamental. Lu Li, Mu Renhe, and Gao all held the same attitude.

King Yue Bushou was very generous at this time, stretched out his hand and said: "In this case, in order to consolidate the friendship between the two countries, you might as well let the envoys of Chu State narrate it first." I wonder what you think the border should be? ”

This sentence is very pertinent, and it directly transfers the right to speak to the envoys of Chu State and asks them to put forward a plan, which is a very important point in diplomatic conversations that makes the envoys embarrassed. In someone else's kingdom, the slightest carelessness in words can attract some hostility. It will affect the relationship between the two countries. If the solution is too biased in favor of Vietnam, they may also be ignored when they return home. Fortunately, these two envoys of the Chu State already had some plans in their hearts, as well as countermeasures.

Xiang Guang took another step forward, bowed his head and said, "In the past, the Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu, and exterminated a confidant for my Chu State. Let's push the time forward, when Wu Wangfu sent Wu Zixu to attack the Chu State, Goujian, the king of Yue, raided Gusu City from Huiji. It relieved a lot of pressure for our Chu army. For such help, Chu State has not thanked him so far. Now I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my feelings of mutual help to the country of Vietnam.

At the same time, the states of Chu and Yue were originally the long-established princes south of the Central Plains. They coexisted peacefully a long time ago, and the two sides did not offend each other. As far as historical matters are concerned, Chu and Vietnam should have gone hand in hand. Nowadays, the state of Chu is a weak country, while the state of Yue is a strong country. We have no reason to be hostile and confrontational with such a hegemon. We also believe that the Yue State did not regard our Chu State as a real enemy. In this context, our conversation will be very relaxed. I said directly and frankly that the border territory is divided, and the Chu State is willing to retreat. ”

This sentence made the ministers of the Yue Kingdom who were present secretly happy in their hearts, divided the territory, and were willing to back down. These remarks immediately determined an important basic point for the meeting of the envoys. At the same time, he transferred the right to speak to this group of courtiers of the Yue Kingdom.

The next person to be embarrassed is King Yue. Obviously, this Xiang Guang recounted some historical events to show that relations between the two countries should be harmonious. At the same time, he was willing to back down in the disputed area, which undoubtedly transferred the next decision to the king of Yue, himself. It's a bit of a thing you didn't think about, you thought there would be an argument, but you didn't want to be so straightforward. If you are willing to back down, it looks like you will take a big advantage, but in fact, it is quite tricky to think about it.

As a hegemonic country, the prestige of the Yue State exists in all parts of the Central Plains, and as the hegemon, it should have presided over justice, and it must not be able to bully the weak and occupy the land of other countries. The conflict with the border between the two countries alone led to the cession of a large area of land by the state of Chu. If the Chinese princes know, I am afraid that the position of the overlord will be shaken. Let the outside world know that the Vietnamese country does not hesitate to start a war for the sake of territory, in order to maintain hegemony, due etiquette, and corresponding reasoning, must also have.

Chu Guo ignored this incident, and at the same time actively took responsibility for his own mistakes and mistakes. Next, it depends on Yue Wang Bushou, how to deal with it?
