Things are going well in Jiangdong, and everything is fine inside and outside the country, which makes Xiong Huai enjoy this moment of calm rarely.

The only thing that made Xiong Huai dissatisfied was that the Chu army had been investigating Jiangdong for more than a month, and although they had captured many remnants of the Yue Kingdom and other Yue people, they did not find any trace of the Lu brothers, as if they had completely disappeared from Yue.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of opening the door outside the hall, and then a cold wind blew, Xiong Huai suddenly took a breath of cold air, his whole body was cold, and then he frowned, and grabbed Song Meiren's hand and couldn't help but use a slight force, so that Song Meiren hugged him tightly, and then looked at the coquettish Song Meiren and smiled: "Beauty, it seems that this year's winter is particularly cold." ”

When Song Meiren heard this, she immediately handed the wine in her hand to the mouth of the King of Chu, and then waited for the King of Chu to finish drinking, and then she blushed and smiled: "If the king feels cold, the concubine is willing to warm the king with her sister tonight!" ”

Xiong Huai laughed when he heard this.

While laughing, Xiong Huai saw Chen Zhen walking over quickly, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with Chenqing?" ”

Chen Zhen immediately replied: "Great King, the news from the Qi State is that the King of Qi and the Prince of Qi died of illness ten days ago. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Okay, good, this is good news, the king of Qi and the prince are dead, this is really good." ”

After laughing for a long time, Xiong Huai's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said with a sad face: "As soon as the king of Qi leaves, there will be one less king of the same generation as the widow. Now, the kings of all countries, that is, the King of Wei and the King of Song are the same generation as the widows, among which the King of Song is the oldest, and I don't know how long the King of Song can last. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai sighed, then let go of Song Meiren in his arms, and ordered: "Pass the edict, let the ministers come to see the widow." ”

"Yui."

Soon after, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen to inform the ministers of the return of the King of Qi and the Prince of Qi on the same day, as well as a series of actions of the newly enthroned King of Qi, and then asked: "I don't know what the Qing thinks my Chu State should do now?" ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he glanced at the King of Chu with his eyes, and then glanced at Tang Yu opposite, and then took the lead in speaking: "Great King, although the King of Qi is dead, Kuang Zhang is still stationed in Qinghe in preparation for my Chu State. Moreover, the king of Qi transferred his voice to the north to prepare for Yan and Zhao.

Now the focus of Zhao State is not on Qi State, Wei State is an ally of Qi State, Song State is the head of the rat at both ends, Yan State is weak, and my Chu State has experienced years of war and is in urgent need of cultivation. ”

Saying that, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "Therefore, the minister thinks, why not take this opportunity to send an envoy to make friends with the Qi State and suppress the Song State." ”

When Tang Mo heard this, he immediately nodded thoughtfully.

Now that the reform of Jiangdong is just beginning, he can be said to be the most reluctant in the Chu State to cause more trouble at this time, at this time, Zhao Ju's voice fell, Tang Yu immediately spoke: "King, the minister seconded the proposal, my Chu State is in the ascendant, and it is not appropriate to use troops at this time." ”

When the other ministers heard this, they all echoed and said, "Great King, what Zhu Guo said is extremely true. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, he himself was now tending to cultivate, and he didn't want to move troops at this time.

Thinking about it, he looked at Zhao Chang and said: "Zuo Yin, there is Lao Xianqing who went to Qi to attend the funeral of King Qi on behalf of the widow, and expressed his congratulations to the new king, explaining the widow's intention to befriend the new king." ”

"Yui." Akira nodded.

"Another edict was sent to General Jingyang, telling him to guard Huaiyin City and not to have disputes with the Qi State."

"Yui."

After a pause, Xiong Huai said meaningfully: "Zhuqing, King Qi left suddenly, which reminded the widow of the older King Song, the king of all countries, with King Song being the oldest, approaching the age of the sixtieth year. However, now the crown prince of the Song Kingdom is far away from the Song capital and builds a city in the north of Huaishui, if the Song king suddenly suffers misfortune, and the Song prince is far away in Huaibei, which is extremely unfavorable to the stability of the Song State.

Therefore, the widow could not bear to have such a tragedy in the Song Kingdom, so he planned to persuade the King of Song to let the crown prince return to the capital. ”

As soon as the ministers heard this, they immediately knew the mind of the king of Chu.

This is to take advantage of the internal instability of the Qi State and have no time to take care of the Song State, and wants to pull the Song State into the camp of the Chu State.

At this time, Dr. Shangguan was overjoyed.

The king of Song expelled him from the Song kingdom that year, which made him deeply ashamed.

Now that the king of Qi and the prince of Qi are dying of illness at the same time, the state of Qi will inevitably stabilize the country first, and shrink the power in the outside to avoid conflicts with other countries.

In this way, without the support of the Qi State, the King of Song could only agree to the request of the Chu State.

Thinking of his departure from the Song Kingdom in a gloomy manner, and soon after, he went to the King of Song with a high spirit, and commanded the King of Song, and then left the Song Kingdom under the gift of the King of Song, thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart.

So, Doctor Shangguan immediately asked for an order: "King, the minister is willing to go." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, looked at the excited Shangguan doctor, and bowed slightly.

The last time Dr. Shangguan was humiliated in the Song Kingdom, the government and the opposition knew about it. Moreover, Dr. Shangguan went to the Song State to serve as the prime minister, and he was more or less persecuted by him. Now that the Song State does not have the help of the Qi State, it is difficult to resist the pressure of the Chu State, and at this time, the Chu envoy will be able to enter the Song State, and he will definitely be received by the Song State.

And Dr. Shangguan entered the Song Dynasty at this time, which was a shame.

Xiong Huai didn't want to stop this.

What's more, the king of Song balanced among the countries, and was always reluctant to fall to the Chu State, and also drove the crown prince Zhen, who was close to the Chu State, to Huaibei to build a city.

This made Chu Guo's face ugly.

Chu Da and Song Xiao, let the Shangguan doctor, who hated the Song State, go to the Song State, which was just the right way to express the tough attitude of the Chu State to the King of Song.

Although the State of Chu can't do the State of Qi, the State of Song is still not a problem.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai responded: "Okay, then there will be Lao Xianqing." ”

···

Outside the capital of the Song Kingdom, Shangqiu.

Doctor Shangguan saw Song Xiangqiu coming from a distance, and immediately smiled.

Qiu Ye is the Song Xiang, and he is also the minister of the Zhao State, and now the Song State sent Qiu Ye to greet him, instead of sending Tian Buli of the Qi State to greet him, the meaning of the weakness of the heart is already obvious.

Moreover, Qiu Liquid went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and such a high courtesy all showed that King Song was weak this time, and he was far less confident than he expelled last time.

Thinking about it, Doctor Shangguan suddenly smiled sarcastically, and then immediately rushed over to the ushering Qiu Liquid.

When he got closer, Doctor Shangguan saluted with a smile and said, "There is Lao Song Xiang going out of the city to greet him, and Shangguan Cheng is terrified." ”

"Where!" As soon as Qiu Ye heard that Doctor Shangguan's tone was wrong, he remembered that Doctor Shangguan left Song Capital in embarrassment last time, and his heart sank slightly, so he immediately replied: "When the widow heard that the doctor was visiting, he was overjoyed, and he specially let him come down to greet him, and repeatedly instructed him to treat each other with great courtesy and not to be lazy. ”

When Doctor Shangguan heard this, he smiled and said, "Song Xiang, this is not like King Song's personality." ”

When Qiu Ye heard this, he smiled awkwardly: "The doctor seems to have misunderstood the widow, the last time the doctor left the Song Kingdom, the king originally ordered the courtiers below to give him a heavy gift, but the courtiers misinterpreted the king's meaning, which led to some misunderstandings." ”

"Misunderstanding!" Doctor Shangguan smiled, shook his head, and said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's not a misunderstanding, it's all over." This time, I was ordered by the king of Chu to worship the king of Song, I don't know when the king of Song will have time? ”

Hearing this, Qiu Li pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the envoy means?" ”

"Tomorrow!" Doctor Shangguan said undoubtedly.

Qiu Li was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Good!" ”
