Wu Zixu said: "King, the old minister can't believe that Goujian, the king of Yue, can submit to my Wu country with a happy heart." ”

Sometimes after retiring from the court, Wu Zixu would not leave immediately, but would stay to chat with King Wu. At this time, King Wu will give a seat for Wu Zixu to sit down, and the chamberlain will offer tea, and the monarch and ministers will drink tea very relaxed and blow for a while.

Another person in the court who received this preferential treatment was Bo Ya. These are the only two people who can get this kind of treatment.

In contrast, King Wu prefers to chat with Bo Yao. King Wu likes to listen to Bo Ya talking, where King Wu is itchy, Bo Ya will scratch it, it is very comfortable. And Wu Zixu came on the contrary, where King Wu hurt, he pinched it.

Bo Yao strongly advocated accepting the surrender of King Yue and obtaining the name of benevolence for King Wu, and King Wu was very happy. Bo Yao asked Fan Li to find two beauties of Xi Shi Zheng Dan for King Wu, and King Wu was even happier and even grateful.

And Wu Zixu has always been the opposite of King Wu and treats people very meanly, which makes King Wu very disgusted. Especially to get Yayu to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, this is simply to make King Wu cuckold. This made King Wu very unhappy and even resentful.

But King Wu is not good at turning his face with Wu Zixu. He knew that Wu Zixu was for the good of Wu Guo. He is not only an old minister of the former dynasty, but also an unambiguous officer. He trained the Wu army with strict discipline and bravery, making it one of the most powerful armies in the world. Wu Zixu has made great contributions.

Wu Zixu has been in a good mood recently, he provoked Mrs. Gou's jealousy and made a big fuss in the harem, and the result was that King Wu returned to Gou's side. He also began to go to the court council.

That's enough. It's all too normal for kings to lust for women. I'm so old, aren't there a few girls around me to have fun? How much more was the king a young man in his twenties?

It was the waiter Xiao Xia who came in to offer tea. Xiao Xia is Xi Shi's attendant and has recently played a role in quelling the affairs of the harem. King Wu liked him a little, and when he went to court, he said, "You come with me", and Xiao Xia followed.

Xiao Xia brought tea and stood in the corner, ready to be dispatched.

Xiao Xia was originally a eunuch who entered the palace, but he was accidentally restored to a normal man. Recently, he was recognized by Luo Jiang, but Luo Jiang did not report him, and shared the joy of humanity with him. The ecstasy in his heart is understandable.

He promised Luo Jiang one condition, that is, to pay attention to the king's words and deeds, and if there is anything unfavorable to Mrs. Changguo, he should prepare as soon as possible.

At this time, Xiao Xia stood in the corner and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between King Wu and Wu Zixu Boyao.

After listening to Wu Zixu's words, King Wu smiled and said, "Xiangguo doesn't have to worry about this matter. So far, we haven't found evidence of Goujian's deception, what can we do with him? ”

Bo Yao also smiled and said: "Where is the heroic spirit of the Eighteen Kingdoms of Lintong Doubao back then?" Gou Jian is a waste king, first raising horses, which will guard the cemetery of the first king, but it will make Xiangguo frightened. You haven't been bitten by a snake, why are you scared when you see a well rope? ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister is not the kind of petty family that can't tolerate people, and the minister's worries are grounded. ”

King Wu said: "Xiangguo will tell me your basis. ”

Wu Zixu said: "The old minister once inspected in the Yue country, the Yue people have little support and reverence for Gou Jian, a few years ago, Gou Jian defeated the Wu army in the battle of Li Li, resulting in the death of the first king. How heroic was Gou Jian at that time? And now, where is the cowardice of Gou Jian, the high-spirited young monarch? Such a virtuous, capable, and ambitious king, just because he is a prisoner, will he be low-voiced and subservient to this life? Besides, Fan Li is such a powerful minister, especially Fan Li, there is nothing he can't do in the world. No matter which vassal state he went to, he would be treated as a guest and given a high-ranking official. But he was desperate to stay by Gou Jian's side. These are all suspicious points. ”

Wu Wang said: "The analysis is very reasonable. But these are all analyses. We can't kill people just because we suspect them, right? ”

Bo Yao said: "I can't get used to hearing Xiangguo talk like this. Is it just because they are virtuous and capable, that they go and kill others? If so, who of the world's virtuous people would dare to take refuge in your Wu country? If a country can't recruit talents, how can it build a country? ”

Wu Zixu said: "Dazai, we are all important ministers of the king, and we must fulfill the responsibility of being courtiers. ”

Dazai sneered: "Could it be that a special attempt to contradict the king like Xiangguo can make the king grow and progress?" You always speak ill of me in front of kings, as if you were loyal. Let me ask you, what bad things have I done? Yes, I am advocating the acceptance of Goujian's surrender, am I wrong? We left Gou Jian to live a life, but we got all the treasures gathered by more than 20 generations of Yue Kingdom, hundreds of beauties, and you Wu Xiangguo also accepted the king's reward and got ten beauties. If, as you want, kill Gou Jian, what do we get? Also, I advocate that Fan Li find two beauties for the king, is this wrong? Who is not like this among the monarchs of the world? We fight desperately to fight, aren't we still fighting for money? As a wise monarch, the king enjoys two beautiful women, what is wrong with this? Why don't I understand you Wu Xiangguo? ”

Wu Zixu, who said something, opened his mouth and couldn't answer. Bo Ya's words are sharp, and Wu Zixu is not an opponent at all.

These words were reaching the heart of King Wu, and he found a basis for his pleasure. He didn't want to argue anymore, he had to hurry back to the palace, he missed Xi Shi. Originally, Bo Yao could talk to him about women, but Wu Zixu was present, which was definitely not suitable. He even missed Fan Li a little. Fan Li found a few girls for him, and he didn't move a finger, they were all unopened original goods, which shows Fan Li's loyalty. King Wu named Fan Li as Ruyibo, you can enter the palace to play at will, why hasn't this guy shown up until now?

King Wu said: "Xiangguo, Dazai, there is no need to fight, we have argued many times on this issue, but there is no result." The widow is tired and wants to go back to the palace, so you can go back too. ”

Bo Yao stood up and bowed down and said, "King, the minister thinks that this matter should be clarified, so that Xiangguo will not keep chattering like a long-tongued woman. ”

King Wu said, "What is Dazai's idea? ”

Bo Yao said: "The minister has an idea. Tonight, the three of us changed into civilian clothes and quietly entered the cemetery of the first king, to see with our own eyes, what the Yue Wang and his wife, and Fan Li were doing. ”

King Wu said: "This is a good idea, what does Xiangguo think?" ”

Wu Zixu smiled bitterly, he felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, but King Wu had decided, and he was not easy to object. He said, "Listen to the king." ”

King Wu said, "That's it." When the sun goes down, we gather here, act in secret, and don't tell anyone. All right. Let's disperse."

Suddenly, someone reported: "Ruyi Bo Fan Li asks to see." ”

King Wu said: "Don't go first, let's see what Fan Li has to say." ”
