Sima Zhe brought back a piece of news: Tomorrow, Wu Wangfu will go on patrol and will come to the stone house to choose horses, and at that time, he may want to see King Yue.

This news is important. After King Yue came to Wu, he saw King Wu for the first time. You have to be prepared. First, the stone house should be cleaned and kept tidy. Second, the horse should be washed and brushed, and the horse's coat color should be smooth and shiny, and the horse's mental state should be good.

The most important thing is that Fan Li is most worried, and he must train King Yue. Focus on counseling from the heart. No matter what the true thoughts in the heart are, the side shown to King Wu must be obedient and unconditionally obedient. And there is no complaint, let King Wu see that King Goujian of Yue has no complaints about coming to serve in Wu State.

The most important thing for King Wu to see is arrogant, angry, resentful and so on. When these emotions are revealed and arouse suspicion, it is very likely that they will be killed by King Wu.

Fan Li saw the king of Yue and reported the future of the king of Wu, and the king of Yue said: "The king of Wu is my enemy, and the widow has fallen to the point where he is today, all because of the husband." Tomorrow King Wu is coming, how should the widow face it? Please teach me. ”

Fan Li said: "I heard that there is no mountain in the world that cannot be climbed, and there is no river that cannot be crossed. Thanks to the blessing of the king, we have subdued Sima Zhe through hard work, and the environment around us is much better. It can even be said that the danger is eliminated.

"But the real danger does not come from grassroots soldiers like Sima Zhe, but from Fucha and Wu Zixu. We took advantage of Bo Ya's greed for money and lust to bribe Bo Ya, so that our monarchs and ministers could survive in a hopeless and dangerous situation. This is not easy to come by, and the king should cherish it.

"But this is just the beginning, and we don't know how King Wu will torture the king next. Sima Zhe had to enter the palace every night to report the situation, and it can be seen from this that King Wu's supervision of us has not relaxed at all.

"Although King Wu listened to Bo Yao's words and did not kill us, we must not forget that there is another person by his side, this is Wu Zixu, he is our most dangerous enemy. He is an old minister of the Lu Dynasty, loyal to the state of Wu, he sees the essence of the matter, and he has always advocated killing us.

"The minister will use the contradiction between him and Bo Yao to sow discord between him and King Wu, as long as King Wu no longer trusts him and no longer listens to him, we can be safer. All these things are done by ministers.

"What the king has to do is to endure. The minister knew how painful the king's heart was. When the king is humiliated, the ministers are humiliated, and the entire Yue people are humiliated. In case of strong winds, the ship should enter the harbor to take shelter from the wind, and in case of heavy rain, the birds should go into the nest to take shelter from the rain. When you pass under the low eaves, you are to bow your head. Therefore, tomorrow King Wu is here, no matter how he insults you, the king will bear with it.

"And then there's the pretend. Don't let King Wu know what we really think in our hearts, pretend to be obedient, pretend to be obedient, and let King Wu feel that we are convinced. Only when he relaxed his vigilance against us can we have hope of surviving and that Dayue can have hope for the restoration of the country.

"The minister is not afraid that the king will be angry, and he will risk death to speak up, and ask the king to forgive his sins."

King Yue said: "What the young uncle said is very true, and the few are taught. Tomorrow, when the husband comes, the widow will do as the young man taught. ”

The next day, King Wu really came to the stone house surrounded by his ministers. King Yue hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head to worship: "Goujian, the servant and the king." ”

King Wu had a smug look on his face and said loudly: "Gou Jian, have you forgotten the battle of Li?" ”

Gou Jian prostrate on the ground: "The minister Gou Jian didn't dare to forget, and the first battle of Li and the first king was really the crime of the minister, and the minister's death was not enough to apologize." Now, the king is benevolent and generous, let Gou Jian live, and Gou Jian will always be grateful for the king's kindness. ”

Fucha squinted at Gou Jian: "You still have a little conscience." Now the widow wants to go out on patrol, and wants the king to carry the whip for the widow and act as the foot of the horse, are you willing? ”

King Yue showed a happy look, and then bowed and said: "Gou Jian can carry the whip for the king and be a servant of the king, and Gou Jian is also lucky." The king does not have to ask Gou Jian if he is willing, but if he has something to say, he just asks. ”

King Wu laughed and said, "Although King Yue is a deposed king, he should also have a little integrity, right?" Why are you so cheap? ”

The king of Yue said, "The sins of the ministers deserve death, but the king does not die, because the king is the king of benevolence." Gou Jian is a prisoner, but he just wants to die. ”

"Phew!" Wu Zixu took a sip and shouted: "Gou Jian, you don't come to this set." You pretend to be subservient to fool the king, and you should be punished for your crimes! You have big ambitions, who doesn't know? Although he is a prisoner, the wolf's ambition is not dead. He turned to King Wu and said, "King Shengming, don't let Gou Jian be confused. Gou Jian's immortality is a big disaster after all. ”

Gou Jian said loudly: "Wu Xiangguo wronged me!" "I was trembling with fear.

Fan Li looked at Bo Yao, who came out and said, "What does Xiangguo mean by this?" Was the king a three-year-old? Who wants to be fooled and can be fooled? The king is very wise, and he has his own judgment when encountering problems. You say such things with contempt for kings. As a courtier, how could Xiang Guo say such disrespectful words to the king? ”

"You ......" Wu Zixu was so angry that his eyes bulged outward.

Bo Yao turned to King Wu and said, "King, it is common for people to be afraid of death. Gou Jian's army was defeated and the country was destroyed, and the king spared him from dying, and ordered him to carry out the battle of the broom, and it was not difficult to guess if he was grateful. Now that the war has subsided, the four seas are peaceful, and the exports of the prime minister are all killed, which is really ominous! ”

King Wu smiled: "Xiangguo Dazai doesn't have to argue, how to deal with it, the widow has his own decision." Now, Dazai goes out on patrol with the widows, and Xiangguo guards the capital and handles military and political affairs. ”

Wu Zixu and Bo Yao agreed in unison: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Bo Yao looked sideways and said, "King Yue is not going to set the horse quickly!" ”

The king of Yue kowtowed, stood up, ran into the stone house, brought the horses, put on the chariot, knelt in front of the chariot, and said, "The king, please board the chariot!" ”

Seeing this, King Wu nodded slightly in approval, but there was a sense of unbearability in his heart.

He bowed and said, "Get in the chariot, king." ”

King Wu stepped on Yue's back, tiptoed, and got into the chariot. Bo Yao also turned over and got on the horse, looked back, and saw Fan Li clenching his fists and bowing. Bo Yao nodded slightly, meaning: "Don't worry, there is me." ”

King Yue got up, held the whip in his hand, held the reins, and rode forward.

King Wu went out on patrol, attracting the people to watch, and the streets were full of variegated people, etc., seeing the king of Yue leading the horse, jumping happily, he couldn't help but point his fingers.

"Look! The one leading the horse is the king of Yue. ”

"The king of a country has fallen to this step."

"King Yue is so lowly!"

The gossip floated into the ears of King Yue, his face was full of fire, and he was ashamed, but he still had to pretend to be happy, but he was crying blood in his heart!

Yayu watched King Yue's groveling actions, bit his lip tightly, held back tears, and couldn't help but tremble.

Fan Li stood beside him and whispered comfort: "The queen endures the humiliation, don't act rashly, otherwise your previous efforts will be wasted!"

Yayu endured her grief and indignation, nodding silently.

When King Wu's carriage and horses were far away and the stone house was quiet, Yayu couldn't hold back anymore and cried out "wow".

Fan Li was flustered: "Queen, please come into the house......"
