Chapter Ninety-Seven: Planning an Autumn Hunt

Yayu said, "Brother, Yayu is a damn person. In the face of the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, I protected the king with chastity, personality and dignity. In the face of King Wu's humiliation, I exchanged my body for the king's safety. All I wanted was a warm word from the king. But my wish was disappointed, and all I got was indifference and disgust. ”

Speaking of sadness, Yayu couldn't cry.

Fan Li was at a loss. He wanted to hug Yayu, but he didn't think it was appropriate. He put a hand on Yayu's shoulder and said, "Sister, don't be sad. The king is a strong man. It will take some time for him to fully adapt to this humiliation. ”

Yayu said, "You don't know the character of the king, he only thinks of his own honor and disgrace. He doesn't care about other people's feelings. All of us, you Fan Li, and Xiangguo, which one is not loyal and bloody? For the sake of the king, you gave your most beloved woman to the king of Wu, and as a Xiangguo, Wen Chong was like a farmer, growing his own grain to eat. And the king is full of resentment against you, and thinks that you are responsible for all the insults he has suffered. He has revealed more than once in front of me that he will kill you once he returns to the country. ”

When Yayu said this, Fan Li remembered the conversation between King Yue and Yayu that he overheard, and not only felt a chill in his back. My heart was also full of chills.

He traveled through a later generation and knew this history. He can't change that history. He clearly realized that if he Fan Li made a mistake, he would pay a great price. Suffer a lot of sins.

Therefore, he must firmly grasp the general direction of the restoration of the country. It's no longer a personal emotional problem. But it's hard to make sense of Yayu. All he has to do is to convince Yayu to move forward along the trajectory of history.

Fan Li said: "Sister, as courtiers, we shouldn't talk about the king in private. Such a conversation can only take place between us. Fan Li, like you, has long realized that the king is a strong-willed but small-minded person. But we are in the current position, there is no other choice, and the great cause of restoring the country will continue. Fan Li's only expectation for her sister is to persevere, no matter how difficult it is, her sister can't do stupid things. You have to listen to your brother until the day when you succeed in recovering the country. Fan Li will arrange a good ending for her sister. ”

Yayu said, "Thank you! Brother, I don't want a good ending. I just want this to end sooner rather than later. ”

Fan Li took Yayu's hand and said softly: "Sister, since you have spoken to me, you have to listen to me." Grit your teeth and stick to it. ”

Fan Li's arms were warm and powerful, Yayu couldn't help but tremble, and her heart was melting along with her body. She said meekly, "Brother, sister listens to you. ”

Bo Yao entered the palace to report his work to King Wu. King Wu indulged in lust, and soaked with Xi Shi Zheng Dan day and night, and he had not been to the court for a long time. He threw the government to Bo Ya. Bo Yao will come to report to King Wu once in a while.

After the work is over, we have to talk about women, this is the repertoire of the two monarchs and ministers.

Sometimes Bo Yao is reluctant to talk, and King Wu also wants to talk in this direction. He is with Xi Shi Zheng Dan all day long, but he still has to talk to others, which is another kind of fun.

But today, King Wu was a little worried. He said to Bo Yao: "I don't know what's going on, Mrs. Changguo has been in a bad mood recently. ”

Bo Yao said: "Women, it is like a book from heaven, you can't read it through it for a lifetime. ”

King Wu said: "I envy King Zhou You, and I don't hesitate to light the princes of the beacon fire to win the praise and smile of the beauties, and I don't regret being destroyed by the dogs." ”

Bo Yao said: "That Bao Xi has not been smiling since entering the palace, but Mrs. Changguo is not like this. If you want your lady to be happy, you have to see what makes her unhappy. ”

King Wu said: "I don't know why, the widow has exhausted all her tricks, and she is still unhappy." ”

Bo Yao thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that if you want to make Mrs. Changguo happy, the king, you can try to change the environment for her." ”

"A change of scenery?" King Wu didn't quite understand.

Bo Yao said: "The king thinks about it, can you not be annoyed that your harem is such a big place, and you have been active in such a place for many years?" You take the two ladies to play in the wild for a while, and I guess his mood will be fine. ”

King Wu said, "Take them to camp? ”

"What's the fun of camping? Autumn hunting, isn't this autumn? All kinds of birds and animals, it is the time when they are fat and strong, go out to hunt, which is fun and exciting, and you can also eat wild meat. Madame will surely be happy. ”

King Wu applauded and shouted, "Good idea! The widow went to prepare for the autumn hunt.

While chatting, someone came to report that King Yue was asking to see him outside the palace.

King Wu was stunned: "Dazai, Gou Jian wants to see the widow, what's the matter?" ”

Bo Yao said: "Since the king of Yue entered the pledge, have you ever seen the king?" ”

King Wu said, "No, never." ”

Bo Yao said: "This is the first time he has asked to see him in three years, there must be something, how do you think King Yue has behaved in the past few years?" Do you see that he has an outside heart? ”

King Wu said: "It feels okay. I don't see that he has an outside heart or ambition, "

He said, "The feeling of a minister is the same as that of a king. When he first came, the king of Yue whipped the king and drove the car without complaint, and later, the king summoned Yayu into the palace, and the king of Yue also swallowed his anger. Especially Fan Li, who saved the king's life twice. Ever since he became a palace guard, the palace has been quiet and nothing has happened. Also, Fan Li brought Xi Shi and Zheng Dan to the king, which brought a lot of happiness to the king. ”

King Wu said, "Who says it's not? Even the ministers of Wu State, there are few who are so good to the widow. ”

"There are some people. It would be good not to cause trouble for the king. ”

King Wu said: "Especially that Wu Zixu, as soon as I think of him, the widow's heart is blocked. ”

Bo Yao said: "Don't talk about him, it's annoying." Or pass on the king of Yue to come in. See what's going on with him. ”

King Wu said, "Okay, King Chuanyue." ”

The king of Yue came in, although the coarse cloth clothes were very old, but they were very clean, and his hair was not messy, he ran quickly, came closer, fell down and bowed, and said in a loud voice: "Goujian, meet the king." Pray for the king's good health and longevity! ”

King Wu apologized slightly, which was regarded as a return gift, and said, "King Yue, please get up." Meet the widow today, what is the matter, please tell me. ”

King Yue said: "King Qiyu, the minister has been in Wu for three years, and he has not worshiped the temple for a long time, and he is really a person who has no virtue and no filial piety. Whenever I am alone, I feel heartbroken. This autumn festival is approaching, and the minister wants to take a few months off and return to Yue to worship the temple. I beg the king to allow him to play, and Gou Jian is grateful. ”

King Wu smiled, Gou Jian was homesick, and said: "Sacrificing to the temple, this is a big festival, and the widow sympathizes." Dazai, what do you think? ”

He said, "The minister agrees with the king." ”

King Wu paused for a moment and said, "This is a major matter, and it must be decided by the imperial court." Dazai and I are discussing autumn hunting. I think so, when we come back from the autumn hunt, we will discuss this matter, what does King Yue think? ”

King Yue bowed again: "The ministers obey the king's arrangement." ”
