Chapter 640: The Sword Refers to the King of Yue
Fan Li is gone. Bo Yao hesitated. Walk? Or not to go? Go, now is a good opportunity, the Vietnamese army has just entered the city, everything is in a state of disorder, and it is easy to get out of the city. This state lasts for a maximum of a few hours. If you miss these hours, it will be impossible to go out of the city without permission.
But just like that, what about the huge wealth he has amassed over the decades? In the past few decades, he has embezzled and taken bribes and extorted money. has no discipline, and even betrays the country, and becomes rich and rivals the country. It is impossible to take away the transfer of wealth in a short period of time. Hasn't he been busy for decades?
It was a little bit more than he took with him when he left, but it was too little. It's simply not enough for a lifetime of luxury living. It was hard for him to make up his mind to leave in such a hurry. That's too much to pay. Losing the property that you have worked so hard to loot is more uncomfortable than cutting your flesh.
What happens if you don't go? If Fan Li is here, he can protect him in front of King Yue. But Fan Li himself is gone. He had asked Fan Li many times before, and when the restoration was successful, he would let him go. Leave a way for him to live. Fan Li did not break his promise. It was right to inform him to flee now.
But he can't be as free and easy as Fan Li, just leave. If Fan Li wants to protect him in front of King Yue, he can't count on it.
So, will King Yue kill him?
He has contributed to the restoration of the Yue Kingdom! It can be said that without Bo Ya, the country of Yue would never be able to restore the country. He's done a great job!
But King Yue is a person who pursues perfection, will he tolerate such a pickled person as Bo Yao? Bo Yao really can't be sure about this.
But Fan Li saw it and left resolutely. Will King Yue kill Fan Li? It's really unimaginable, what kind of person Fan Li is, in order to restore the country, he has fought desperately for 20 years, so that a Yue country that has been sent to hell can be revived. This is a major event that will go down in history. King Yue dares to move Fan Li?
But Fan Li still left absolutely. If Fan Li's approach is reflected, Bo Yao should leave immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
But he was reluctant, he was gone, and his money couldn't be taken away! The extremely smart Bo Ya can't make up his mind this time.
So take a gamble, will King Yue really be so conscienceless, and will he take revenge? Not really, right? Just don't let him be a high-ranking official like Dazai. It's okay to be a petty official, and you can retreat 10,000 yuan and say, as long as you don't kill him.
The greed for money finally took Bo Yao's life, who is to blame?
The next day, Bo Yao received an order to go to the Wu Palace to worship King Yue. Bo Yao sighed, life and death, just this time, so he wore plain clothes and entered the court with hundreds of officials.
I saw that hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the imperial court room, everyone's faces were solemn, and they didn't speak, this is the moment that decides everyone's fate, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "The king has arrived!" ”
Everyone hurriedly entered the court and stood up. I saw King Yue, accompanied by Wen Chong, striding in, standing behind the bookcase, inspecting the hundred officials.
These remnants of the state of Wu hurriedly fell to the ground to pay respects: "See the king." ”
King Yue had a cold face, and he didn't tell everyone to be flat, so everyone had to kneel.
King Yue walked down and walked slowly through the crowd, suddenly stood down and said, "Isn't this Lord Dazai-sama?" ”
Bo Yao kowtowed and said, "It's the lowly minister Bo Yao." ”
King Yue said, "You are the Dazai of Wu Kingdom, and the widow does not dare to tell you to kneel, get up." ”
Bo Ya kowtowed, stood up, and said, "Thank you, King! The minister congratulated the king on the success of his restoration. ”
The king of Yue said, "The widow is not your king, but your king is now in the mountains, and you should go with him." ”
Bo Yao was frightened, his pants were wet unconsciously, "Puff" knelt down, and said tremblingly: "The minister was recruited by Dr. Fan Li, and for twenty years, he has been running for the restoration of the king. ”
King Yue said: "You have meritorious service to the Yue Kingdom, but as a courtier of King Wu, you have done something to betray the country, and you have killed a great loyal minister and a hero like Wu Zixu, and your sin cannot be forgiven." Come on, pull Bo Yao out and cut it down! ”
Leaving and rushing up a few warriors, he set up Bo Yao and left, Bo Yao struggled and shouted: "The king spares his life, Bo Yao has a merit to the Yue Kingdom!" ”
King Yue sneered: "I killed you to commend Wu Zixu's loyalty!" With a wave of his hand, the samurai walked out with Bo Ya on his back, and after a while, a samurai sent Bo Ya's head up for King Yue to inspect. King Yue waved his hand, and the warrior retreated.
Then the king of Yue called everyone up. Then the Wen Chong announced the arrangement and disposal of these remnants of the Wu State. In this extraordinary period, everyone still performs their duties and restores order as soon as possible. Wait a minute.
Everybody's gone. King Yue was the only one left in the main hall, sitting there pondering. Suddenly, he felt that there was one more person in front of him, and when he looked up, Fan Li stood in front of him with a frosty face.
King Yue smiled all over his face and said, "Young uncle, sit down and talk." ”
Fan Li glanced at the stool and said coldly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's all at this time, is it necessary for you to be so polite to Fan Li?" ”
King Yue said: "Young uncle, where does this start! Without you, there would be no widow today. At the beginning, the widow was trapped in Huiji Mountain, if it weren't for you, the widow would have died a long time ago. If it weren't for you, the widow wouldn't have been able to return to Yue at all. If it weren't for you, the Yue Kingdom would not have been able to build an army at all. If it weren't for you, the Yue Kingdom would not have destroyed the Wu Kingdom like this. In a word, without Shaobo, the Yue Kingdom would not have succeeded in recovering the country. ”
Fan Li said: "Thank you, the king, you still remember this." What are you going to do with Fan Li? ”
King Yue said: "The young uncle makes any request, and the widow agrees, or we will govern this country together, or you will simply be the king of Wu." ”
Fan Li sneered: "No need. I want to remind King Yue that there is another person whose credit is only above Fan Li. Without her, the country of Yue will never be able to turn over. ”
The king of Yue said, "Who are you talking about?" ”
Fan Li said: "Will the king not know? This person's name is Shi Yiguang, and everyone calls her Xi Shi. She was a peasant girl, only sixteen years old at the time, and dedicated herself to King Wu for the revival of the Yue Kingdom. Without Xi Shi, King Wu would not be so obedient, and the king would not be able to restore the country. Even Yue Guo can't go back. If it weren't for her, King Wu wouldn't have built Gusutai or dug a ditch, and Yue Guo would have established an army, and with Wu Zixu here, he wouldn't want to defeat Wu. This king won't deny it, right? ”
King Yue glanced at Fan Li and said, "Miss Xi Shi, like the young uncle, is the first hero to restore the country. ”
Fan Li said: "What does the king plan to do with Xi Shi. ”
King Yue said: "The widow has long ordered Xi Shi to be included in the list of martyrs, and enshrined in the temple for everyone to worship, remembered from generation to generation, and passed down through the ages." ”
Fan Li said: "She is only in her thirties, and she still has more than half of her life path to take. She has the right to enjoy a peaceful life for decades to come, up to the hundredth. You killed her like that? ”
King Yue said: "It is very disgraceful to restore the country in this way. For the Yue country, it is a shame. So this is the best destination for Shih Tzu. The widow will hold a state funeral for her. ”
Fan Li slowly drew out the sword, the tip of the sword pressed against the throat of King Yue, and said slowly: "Say, where is Xi Shi?" ”
King Yue looked at the sword around his neck and said, "You know, widows have a habit of cleanliness, and they can not afford to be clean. I'm not going to tell Shih Tzu where he is. Are you going to kill the widow? ”
Fan Li said: "You think I don't dare? ”
King Yue said: "It's not that you don't dare, it's not that you can't, it's that you won't do it." The historian will record all this, and you will not let yourself be saddled with the notoriety of killing kings! ”
Fan Li glanced at King Yue, withdrew his sword, and strode out of the court, as if flying.
