Chapter 594: Gusu Morning Song
Xi Shi has been missing Fan Li very much recently.
Since he turned his face with King Wu, Fan Li has only sneaked into Gusutai quietly, and they have a tryst in a secluded hut. Fan Li told Xi Shi that he was going to the north to provoke a war against Wu, on the one hand, to weaken Wu's army, and on the other hand, to create an opportunity for Yue to attack Wu.
The final decisive moment is finally coming. After twenty years of suffering and marrying another woman, this kind of life is finally coming to an end. Although she is in her thirties, she still has more than half of her life to go, and I hope that she can be with Fan Lang day and night in the second half of her life and never be separated again.
Thinking of this, her heart was extremely excited.
Waking up in the middle of the night, King Wu made an even voice beside him, this man had lived with her for seventeen years, and when he spoke of conscience, he was indeed very good to her.
In order to make her happy, King Wu did not hesitate to concentrate the power of one country. It took more than ten years to build a Gusu platform for her to play.
As long as there is a little headache and brain fever, King Wu panics, and he accompanies and takes care of him day and night, which is really meticulous.
Occasionally, the queen was fortunate to be hooked, but it was still under the persecution of Xi Shi. I barely went to Zhengyang Palace once. There are hundreds of palace maids around him, and there are many who are beautiful, and King Wu is too lazy to take a look.
At the beginning, Xi Shi also used a little fox charm, sometimes ignoring that his true colors were relative, and King Wu did not change his original intention. is still wholeheartedly good for Xi Shi.
It should be said that King Wu did have some toying elements with Xi Shi at the beginning, and he was obsessed with her beauty. But later, King Wu really loved Xi Shi with all his heart. This is rare for the emperor and doctor, even in the people, it is rare to be so rich and unthinkable.
A farmer guards a woman until he is old, that is, he has no money. Once rich, which rich man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
King Wu is a good man.
But no matter how King Wu treats Xi Shi well, Xi Shi has always missed Fan Li in his heart. To be loyal to Fan Li, he must be disloyal to King Wu. and send King Wu to the guillotine. She is sorry for King Wu.
Xi Shi is a loyal person. Her guilt towards King Wu deepened day by day, but she couldn't reveal a little. What she can do is to serve King Wu more intimately. The thought that maybe in the near future, everything that King Wu had enjoyed would be wiped out, and that this poor man did not know how to spend the rest of his life, Xi Shi was so sad that he wanted to shed tears.
She has pleaded with Fan Li many times to spare King Wu's life on the day she returns to the country. He can't be a king anymore, as a deposed king, give him a bite to eat, and let him spend the rest of his life quietly. In this way, Xi Shi's heart feels a little better.
King Wu didn't know all this, and he was still dreaming of hegemony. Poor man. Xi Shi couldn't help but stick to King Wu's side and kissed him lightly on the cheek.
King Wu seemed to be a little aware, hugged Xi Shi hard, and said vaguely: "Madam......" Xi Shi's tears flowed.
When I woke up in the morning, there were maids who came in, dressed and washed, and then there were morning activities, walking, laughing, although it was early spring, the mountains and forests were still a depression. There are a few plum trees on the mountain, with small yellow flowers, exuding a strong fragrance.
King Wu joined hands with Xi Shi and went around in a big circle. Return to Guanwa Palace. And the chamberlain reported that breakfast had been prepared, and invited the king and his wife to eat.
After breakfast, there was a sudden report that Xiangguo Wu Zixu asked to see him.
King Wu hasn't seen Wu Zixu for a long time. Wu Zixu was reckless and offended King Wu many times. Back then, he sent Queen Yue Yayu to serve the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, which made King Wu very unhappy.
Yayu is a woman captured by King Wu, and only King Wu has the right to instruct her, and no one else can touch her. King Wu can kill her, reward her ministers, or stay by his side. But others can't move, even if you're Wu Zixu, you can't move.
Wu Zixu forced Yayu to serve a foreign envoy, which was clearly a cuckold for King Wu. This is a serious provocation to the royal power.
What's more, Wu Zixu actually shot Zheng Dan with one arrow. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, this will not be tolerated. Isn't it a capital sin to kill the king's woman?
Later, what was even more excessive was that Wu Zixu actually smashed King Wu's wine jar. When the king is at fault, the courtiers can admonish, but they cannot challenge the king's authority. Wu Zixu's actions should have been killed a long time ago.
King Wu has never killed him because he still has use value. In addition, Wu Zixu assisted the first king to fight the world and made great contributions, and King Wu did not want to bear the notoriety of killing heroes.
Now I suddenly heard that Wu Zixu asked to see him, and I felt disgusted in my heart, what is this old guy doing here? In the past 20 years, Wu Zixu has always been reluctant to be a widow no matter how big or small, and he has never been happy.
King Wu said: "If there is something wrong with the widow, ask the prime minister to wait for the summons in the clogs corridor." This is clearly treating Wu Zixu slowly.
Xi Shi was shy and timid, and said: "The king is busy with something, and the concubines will play by themselves for a while, and wait for you to come back." ”
King Wu said: "Xiangguo has brought news that makes the widow unhappy, and we will ask him to wait for a while." You danced that dance yesterday was particularly beautiful, can you dance for the widow again? ”
Xi Shi said: "The king is the king of a country, and there are many opportunities for the day. How can you delay state affairs because of concubines? The concubines know that the king is good to me, but if they waste the affairs of the state because of this, they will be trapped in injustice. The king should go and see Xiangguo. ”
King Wu still didn't want to see Wu Zixu. Xi Shi had no choice but to accompany King Wu to play.
Suddenly, the inner attendant reported that Dazai Boyao asked to see him. Xi Shi said: "King, go, go and meet the two ministers, it is important to deal with state affairs." Make a little time for the concubines to choreograph a new dance for the king to enjoy. ”
King Wu reluctantly said: "Okay, Madame will play for a while by herself, and the widow will come when she goes." He said to the chamberlain, "Tell the two adults to wait in the corridor of clogs, and the widow will go there immediately." ”
The chamberlain left, and King Wu laughed with Xi Shi for a while, and then slowly walked towards the clogs corridor.
The two adults asked to see at the same time, this thing was a bit unusual, Xi Shi beckoned, and a maid came over, Xi Shi said: "Sister Meng Yuan, the king and the adults have a meeting, you go and serve them." Do you know how? ”
After Luo Jiang's death, Xi Shi did not have his own intimate people around him. The last time Fan Li came to see her, it was Meng Yuan who passed the news back and forth, and Meng Yuan became Xi Shi's personal maid. Xi Shi was born in a peasant family, did not have a strong sense of hierarchy, treated his subordinates well, and soon won Meng Yuan's loyalty.
Meng Yuan nodded and said, "Madam, don't worry, Meng Yuan knows how to do it." I'll remember what they said. ”
So, Meng Yuan brought the tea set dedicated to King Wu and led King Wu to the clog corridor.
Wu Zixu and Bo Yao were waiting, and when they saw King Wu coming, they hurriedly greeted him, bowed down, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, the minister." ”
King Wu raised his hand and said, "Two adults, please get up, let's come in and talk." ”
Everyone entered the house, King Wu gave a seat, and after taking a seat, Meng Yuan offered tea and stood behind the curtain. In this way, King Wu would ignore her presence, and their conversation, Meng Yuan could hear it clearly.
King Wu said, "What good news did the two adults bring to see the widow together?" ”
Wu Zixu got up and played: "King Qiyu, I'm really sorry, the old minister brought not good news, but bad news. ”
King Wu said, "Let's not talk about the bad news, Dazai, you should bring good news, right?" ”
Bo Yao bowed down and said, "King, Bo Yao has disappointed you, and the minister has brought bad news. ”
King Wu frowned and said, "What day is today, why are you bringing all the bad news?" Okay, let's talk about it, what's bad. ”
