Fan Li slowly said his plan. Before the words fell, King Yue suddenly shouted: "Don't say it! He stood up and strode around the room, then stopped again and yelled at Fan Li.

"Young uncle, young uncle, you came up with such a bad idea, you use me as a pig and dog, don't you?"

Fan Li hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The king is angry, the minister does not mean to offend, there is really no other way to gain the favor of King Wu." ”

Yayu also knelt down: "King, we have survived three years in the country of Wu, and we have no clue about the restoration of the country, and now we are facing the opportunity to return to China, please cherish it."

King Yue pointed at Yayu and scolded: "You are really a slut! You say the same. The widow has endured humiliation and heavy burdens for three years, and his temperance has been lost, and life is better than death. Do you still want to persuade the widow to do that pickled thing, or do you want the widow to live? ”

Fan Li knelt down and said: "The king should not blame the queen, the idea is from the minister, if the king wants to blame, blame Fan Li, this matter has nothing to do with the queen." ”

King Yue was still angry, and said hatefully: "How dare the widow blame anyone? In the past three years, not only have to see the face of the husband, but also listen to the general's command, do this, do that, everything is a loss of face, these widows have endured. Now that it's getting more and more excessive, you can't come up with a better idea? ”

When Fan Li heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart. I thought to myself, "O king, that you have never reflected on your own faults, and that you are not the result of your incompetence?" At the beginning, if you had listened to Fan Li's advice, where would you have ended up today? You made a wrong decision at the beginning, causing the destruction of the Yue Kingdom, it was Fan Li who begged the King of Wu to accept the surrender and save your life, and it was also Fan Li's efforts to calm the hostile forces of the Wu State that allowed you to live until now. This time I have an opportunity to be loyal to King Wu, although it is difficult to do, but if you want to return to China safely, you have to do it. Now you are venting all your grievances on Fan Li and the queen, it seems that we have harmed you!

Although Fan Li was indignant in his heart, his face did not show it at all, and he said in a calm but firm tone: "King, the minister did not mean to offend the king, the minister was incompetent and couldn't think of a better idea. After the deed is completed, the king can cure Fan Li for offending the king, and the minister has no complaints. But at the moment, for the sake of the great plan of restoring the country, I also ask the king to compromise and seize this opportunity. ”

King Yue stood down: "Young uncle, do you still insist on letting the widow do this?" ”

Fan Li said firmly: "In order for the king to return to Yue Kingdom smoothly, this must be done. ”

King Yue shouted: "No, Gou Jian is not a pig and a dog, how can he do the things of a pig and a dog." ”

Yayu said with tears in her eyes: "The king was angry for a while, and insulted the concubines, and the concubines did not dare to blame the king. But the concubine is the king's wife, and all words and deeds are for the king's good. If the king is still in the custody of Wu, when will he be able to restore the kingdom and when will he be ashamed? The most important thing now is to return to Yue as soon as possible and lead the ministers and people to restore the national strength, so that there is hope for the restoration of the country. ”

King Yue kept shaking his head: "No! No! I can't do it, I can't do it. I'd rather give up the restoration, I'd rather die, I'd rather die clean. I can't do it! The young uncle doesn't need to be persuaded, the queen doesn't need to be persuaded, I would rather stay in the country of Wu for another three years than do such a thing. ”

Fan Li kowtowed, and said in a deep voice: "The king must not think like this, Wu is the territory of the husband, every day here, there are unexpected dangers, in the past three years, the gang led by Wu Zixu has wanted to kill the king every moment." If he stays in Wu any longer, no one can guarantee the safety of the king. If anything happens to the king, all the sins we have suffered, all the suffering, and all the reproaches we have suffered will be in vain. ”

Yayu also kowtowed and said: "King, just listen to a word of persuasion, now the contradiction between Wu Zixu and King Wu has deepened, although they did not turn their faces in the end, but Wu Zixu spoke, and King Wu basically didn't listen." It's a great opportunity. If one day the contradiction between King Wu and Wu Zixu eases, and the king wants to return to China again, it will be far away. If the king does not return to China, the great cause of restoring the kingdom will be an empty word. Which is more important, let the king weigh it. ”

Before, Fan Li told Yayu about the matter, Yayu knew the character of King Yue, and was worried that King Yue would not agree, but under Fan Li's persuasion, Yayu agreed to convince King Yue together.

Every time Yayu saw Fan Li, she was overwhelmed by Fan Li's beauty and demeanor. Heartbeat. She was made by Wu Zixu to be insulted by the envoy of the Jin State, and was summoned into the palace by King Wu for a few months, and was completely disliked by King Yue. This is not only a painful torture, but also a huge insult.

Fan Li gave her intimate comfort, and she was determined to help Fan Li persuade King Yue. So she usually doesn't interfere much with state affairs, and she will persistently persuade this King Wu. And analyze the problem and get to the point.

King Yue looked at Yayu in surprise, she couldn't imagine that the usually docile queen would have such a profound insight.

Fan Li saw that King Yue hesitated, and then said: "King, the queen's analysis is reasonable. Wu Zixu is a veteran minister of the former dynasty of Wu State, with high merits, not only is he powerful in the imperial court, but he also controls the army of the entire Wu State. For such a person, King Wu didn't dare to touch him easily. This time, Wu Zixu killed Zheng Dan by mistake, and King Wu just scolded him and did not investigate him, which shows how powerful Wu Zixu is. It is a remarkable thing that our monarchs and ministers can survive until now in the face of such a powerful opponent. ”

These words are facts, every sentence is reasonable, and King Yue could not refute it for a while.

Fan Li continued: "However, because Wu Zixu killed Zheng Dan, the contradiction between him and King Wu deepened. King Wu will not listen to him anymore. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We need to seize this opportunity. To further impress the king of Wu, with the help of Bo Yao, the king can leave the state of Wu and return to the kingdom of Yue. Think again. ”

King Yue was stunned for a long time and said, "Young uncle, Yayu, you guys are ganging up to force the widow!" ”

Fan Li gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what the king says, after the matter is completed, the king will punish Fan Li as he wants, and the ministers will never complain." ”

Yayu said, "The concubines are also willing to be punished. ”

King Yue sighed deeply, and stretched out his hand to pull up Fan Li and Yayu: "Get up, young uncle, Yayu, how can the widow not know that you are for the good of the widow." But is there no other way? ”

Fan Li said: "There is no such way to break the law. Grant the king. ”

King Yue suddenly burst into tears in his eyes, and said bitterly: "The widow has a habit of cleanliness, and if you want the widow to do this, it is more uncomfortable than letting the widow die!" ”

Cleanliness? King Yue has always had a habit of cleanliness, and it is really more uncomfortable to let him do this than to let him die. A strong sense of sympathy struck, and Fan Li was extremely sad. He knelt down and cried, "Damn it, you have this bad idea......

King Yue said with tears in his eyes: "Young uncle, get up, the widow has promised you!" ”
