Chapter 596: Xi Shi on Politics
Xi Shi could see at a glance that King Wu's mood was very bad. In the past, after the meeting, King Wu always looked anxious to see Xi Shi, hurriedly returned to Guanwa Palace, and first had an intimate meeting with Xi Shi before entering the normal entertainment activities.
This time, King Wu returned to Guanwa Palace with a blushing face and a heavy heart, and after Xi Shi greeted him, King Wu sat on the side, without a smile on his face, and did not speak.
Shih Tzu knew something unusual had happened. With a look, Meng Yuan followed Xi Shi to a secluded place. Xi Shi said, "Meng Yuan, what happened? ”
Meng Yuan said: "Two important things happened, the first is that Wu Zixu reconnoitred that Yue Guo had formed his own army and was training intensively. Second, the State of Qi dispatched an army of 100,000 and is now stationed in Wenshang. An attack on the state of Wu can be launched at any time. Wu Zixu advocated sending troops to attack the Yue State first, and Bo Yao advocated sending troops to attack the Qi State first. The two argued fiercely. In the process of the debate between the two, the king was a little biased towards Bo Yao, and Wu Zixu spoke disrespectfully and contradicted the king. At that time, the king pulled out his sword and pointed it at Wu Zixu, telling Wu Zixu to get out. ”
These are all significant events. Last time, when Fan Li was leaving, he told that in order to prevent King Wu from attacking Yue, he should burn the war to Qi. It seems that Fan Li had predicted what was going to happen today. The new situation is that Wu Zixu once again offended King Wu, and he offended him very much.
King Wu pointed his sword at Wu Zixu, there were two times, the first time was when he shot Zheng Dan on the hunting ground, and the second time was this time. It is certain that King Wu hates Wu Zixu, but to what extent, I don't know how much.
Now that Fan Li is not around, everything has to be decided by himself. Xi Shi said to Meng Yuan: "Don't tell anyone about this. ”
Meng Yuan said: "Madam, I can save this. ”
King Wu was irritable in his heart. Wu has reached a major juncture again, Yue is a vassal state of Wu, and the relationship between the two countries has been very good for 20 years, and now suddenly Yue has formed an army, what is this going to do? To deal with the state of Wu? King Wu felt that Yue Guo had betrayed him, which was intolerable. It seems that it is necessary to send troops to destroy the Yue country again. This time, it is necessary to completely clean up, destroy the Yue army, destroy the Yue court, and directly cancel the name of the Yue State and bring it into the management of the Wu State.
Who knew that the State of Qi had raised troops again, and the two countries of Wu and Qi were feuds, and they fought a war a few years ago. Bo Ya's words are right, no matter whether the Qi State directly attacks the Wu State, or destroys the Lu State and then fights the Wu State, the two countries will fight a battle. So whether to fight with Yue or Qi first, there is no result for the time being.
The most hateful is Wu Zixu, who has never been happy for so many years. has been reluctant to come, and has been blocking King Wu. There were a few things that made King Wu hold a grudge. The first thing is to force Yayu to accompany the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. This is cuckolding King Wu. The second thing is to shoot Zheng Dan, Zheng Dan is a beautiful woman as beautiful as Xi Shi, and a beauty who is favored by King Wu like Xi Shi. The third thing is that Wu Zixu actually smashed King Wu's wine jar on the street, which is a serious provocation to King Wu.
The fourth thing is this time, he actually insulted King Wu to his face as the king of the dead country. It's infuriating. Kill this dog thief! No good-tempered king in the world could endure such provocations and insults again and again.
King Wu trembled with anger. Speaking of which, King Wu's temper is generally good. was able to endure Wu Zixu's offense again and again. But this time he couldn't help it. Even a veritable king of the dead country like Gou Jian can't be insulted like this in person. And Wu Zixu scolded him like this to his face, saying that the state of Wu was going to perish at his hands. It's too much.
Kill him, kill him, kill him!
Looking up sharply, I saw Xi Shi pitifully hiding in the corner and crying. King Wu couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Shih Tzu is as beautiful as a mystery. There is beauty when you laugh, there is beauty when you cry, there is beauty when you are sick, and there is beauty when you are asleep. When King Wu saw Xi Shi crying, his heart suddenly gave birth to infinite love and pity.
Immediately scolded himself for being a bastard, a man can't carry it by himself when he encounters an accident, and he has to snub a beauty, it's really not a bird!
King Wu walked over, hugged Xi Shi in his arms, and said pityingly: "Madam, I'm sorry that the widow has snubbed you." ”
Xi Shi Jiao said drippingly: "King, Xi Shi is useless, knowing that the king is in a bad mood, but he can't comfort the king, and the concubine is also wrong." ”
King Wu pressed against Xi Shi's face and said, "Madam, it's none of your business. ”
Xi Shi used a little charm, and immediately looked coquettish, and writhed in King Wu's arms and said: "The concubine and the village aunt are just concubines, and they don't understand national affairs, so they can only do their best to make the king live a healthy and happy life." The concubines didn't know what had happened to the king, and why they were so sullen. ”
King Wu sighed: "Now that Wu has encountered a major event, Yue has established an army, which is not allowed, and it is necessary to send troops to fight, and Qi has sent troops again, and it also needs to send troops to deal with it." Exactly how to do it, there is no result yet. ”
Shih Tzu knelt down. He cried and said, "King, ministers cannot participate in state affairs. But please let the king spare my parents when he attacks the kingdom of Yue, for the sake of Xi Shi serving you for nearly twenty years. ”
King Wu hurriedly pulled Xi Shi up, loved it, and said: "Madam, it is not yet determined whether to attack the Yue Kingdom, even if it is really to attack the Yue Kingdom, the widow will also order that the use of troops is prohibited in the area of Lai Luo Village." It will definitely not hurt the two old people. ”
"Thank you, King!" Xi Shi was about to kneel down again, and King Wu grabbed her: "Madam, the widow will never do anything to hurt you, we have lived together for so many years, don't you know the widow's true feelings for you?" ”
The softest place in Shih Tzu's heart was touched. King Wu is really good to her, and in the past twenty years, in the face of hundreds of beauties, she has never empathized. Occasionally, which palace maid is lucky, at most once or twice, it can be said that she loves Xi Shi wholeheartedly.
Xi Shi said: "How can a concubine not understand the king's affection, but unfortunately the concubine is incompetent and can't share the king's worries." The concubine has never cared about state affairs, but this is about my parents, can the concubine ask a word? ”
King Wu said, "It's okay, madam, but it's okay to say it's okay." ”
Xi Shi said: "Is the king sure that the Yue Kingdom must be the enemy of the Wu Kingdom?" ”
King Wu said: "It is a very bad thing for Yue to form an army, but it is not an enemy of Wu, and it is not yet certain." ”
Xi Shi said: "Now let's make the worst assumption, let's compare the Yue State to the enemy of the Wu State, so compared with the Yue State and the Qi State, which force is more powerful and more able to threaten the interests of the Wu State?" ”
King Wu was stunned for a moment, Xi Shi's question was very important. He pondered for a while and said: "Judging from the land and population, it should be that the Qi country is stronger than the Yue country. ”
Xi Shi said: "That is to say, the threat of Qi to Wu is greater, can it be understood in this way? ”
King Wu said, "That's right. ”
Xi Shi said: "Then the king should pay more attention to Qi Guo, and when the Qi State is matter is resolved, he will go back to solve the matter of Yue Guo." Isn't that right? ”
King Wu hugged Xi Shi and said, "If Madame is a man, she should rule the country by worshipping the prime minister!" ”
