Chapter 107: See Bo Yao at night
Bo Yao is a man who understands, and he knows very well that no one in the world will give you a gift for nothing. They give you gifts because you want you to do things for them.
In the battle of Huiji Mountain, Fan Li gave him a heavy gift, a whole cart of jewelry, a priceless night pearl, and eight beauties. The request was very simple, that is, to ask King Wu to accept the surrender of King Yue.
If you accept the surrender, you can get all the treasures and beauties of the Yue Kingdom, but if you don't accept the surrender, the king of Yue will destroy all the treasures, kill the palace maids, and 5,000 dead soldiers will fight to the death, and at least kill 10,000 or 20,000 Wu soldiers.
Comparing the two, of course, it was cost-effective to accept surrender, and Bo Yao did not hesitate to help Fan Li. He was at ease. I think I have done something that is beneficial to the state of Wu.
King Yue was hostage to Wu, but Wu Zixu still insisted on killing King Yue. That's a bit excessive. At this time, killing the king of Yue, the king of Wu will have a bad reputation for not being trustworthy, and keeping the king of Yue will not be harmless to the state of Wu.
At this time, Bo Yao helped Fan Li again. He felt that he had done nothing wrong and had not betrayed the interests of the State of Wu. He did it with peace of mind.
When Fan Li asked him to help King Yue return to China, he found that he had fallen into a deep depression. He didn't help, Fan Li poked out his matter, and he couldn't wash himself when he jumped into the Yellow River.
And Fan Li's quid pro quo is too tempting. Give him Zheng Dan, the wife of King Wu's Haoguo. Is this possible?
Xi Shi Zheng Dan is the heart of the husband, does Fan Li really have the ability to take Zheng Dan over and give it to Bo Yao? It's a bit appalling, isn't it?
But Bo Yao knew Fan Li's ability, and he said that if he gave Zheng Dan to him, he would definitely be able to do it.
The temptation of this condition was too great for Bo Yao to remain calm. Zheng Dan, like Xi Shi, is a peerless beauty, and if she can get such a beauty, she is willing to die.
And it's not a big deal to let King Yue return to China. It has been three years since King Yue came to the Kingdom of Wu, and he has behaved very well, honestly, and obediently, and King Wu has brought his queen into the palace for a month, and he has not even said a strange word.
King Yue has no two hearts. King Yue has passed the test of harmlessness. Whether the king of Yue returns to China or not has no impact on the state of Wu.
Yue still has tens of thousands of troops of Wu stationed there, and there is no soldier in Yue anymore, and the king of Yue has two hearts, and he can't do anything.
If the king returns to China, he can also get a good name for benevolence.
Bo Yao felt that in this matter, he should contribute to Fan Li.
But things took an unexpected turn, Zheng Dan died, and while hunting, he encountered a tiger. Wu Zixu shot the tiger with an arrow, but shot Zheng Dan dead.
Fan Li's promise can't be fulfilled, and he can't get Zheng Dan anymore.
It's really unlucky.
Wu Zixu and King Wu had a contradiction, and now they killed Zheng Dan by mistake, even if they don't remove him from their posts, they won't rely on him anymore. Na Bo Yao became the only person that King Wu could rely on. That's a joy to be.
Bo Yao's mood was very complicated, on the one hand, he regretted Zheng Dan's death, and on the other hand, he was happy that Wu Zixu had offended King Wu.
King Wu fainted with grief because of Zheng Dan's death.
The autumn hunt ended hastily with the death of Zheng Dan. Everyone braved the heavy rain to protect King Wu from the hunting ground. When I returned to Gusu, it was already dark.
Bo Yao went home, ate something and went to bed early, running around for days, he was a little tired.
I slept until the middle of the night when there was a knock on the door. This is a rare occurrence. This is a time of peace, and there is no major military matter that needs to be done in the middle of the night.
It was the maid in the backyard who knocked on the door, and the soldiers in front couldn't enter the backyard, and if there was something in front, it needed to be reported layer by layer.
The maid said, "Lord Ruyi Bo Fan Li asks to see you." ”
When Fan Li withdrew from the hunting ground, he stayed to deal with Zheng Dan's funeral, how could he ask to see him late at night, it must be urgent.
Bo Yao said, "Take him to the study and wait!" ”
He got up, put on his clothes, and walked slowly towards the study.
The light was on in the study, and Fan Li was waiting.
"See Dazai-sama, please forgive me for disturbing you late at night."
Bo Yao laughed: "Brother don't have to be polite, you come late at night, that is, there must be a reason to come late at night." Please sit down and talk. ”
Bo Yao thought that Fan Li did not have any military exploits in Wu State, so he found two beauties for King Wu and won the trust of King Wu. Although the official is not big, he is a popular man of King Wu. This kid is going to mess around.
And Fan Li thought that although Bo Yao was a traitorous villain, he needed his help for the great cause of restoring the country, and if Bo Yao was willing to help, there would be no problem for the king to return to China. It's just that this matter has made Zheng Dan suffer. Fan Li's heart was filled with pain.
Fan Li looked at Bo Yao, smiling and silent.
Bo Yao said: "Hey, I said brother, why do you come here in the middle of the night and keep looking at me and laughing?" Talk about things, just say what you have to say. ”
Fan Li said: "I'm thinking about one thing. ”
"What are you thinking?" ”
Fan Li said: "I agreed with Lord Dazai before that Lord Dazai persuaded King Wu to let King Yue return to Yue to participate in the autumn festival, and I, Fan Li, gave King Wu's beloved concubine Zheng Dan to my lord to enjoy. There's such a thing, right? ”
Bo Ya said, "Yes, there is such a thing. ”
Fan Li said: "But there was a sudden accident, Zheng Dan was accidentally injured by Wu Xiangguo while hunting and died, and I couldn't fulfill my promise." I wondered, will Dazai-sama still keep his promise and persuade King Wu to let King Yue go back to the autumn festival? ”
Bo Yao said, "So that's what happened." ”
Fan Li still smiled and said, "That's what I'm thinking about now. ”
Bo Yao said: "Brother, you can't fulfill your promise, I don't blame you, there was an accident, Zheng Dan died, I Bo Yao has no blessing to endure, there is no way to do this." As for persuading King Wu to let King Yue return to China for the autumn festival, it depends on whether this matter is beneficial to Wu State. ”
Fan Li looked at Bo Yao, it seemed that he had just met this person, and he didn't know what kind of high-sounding reason Bo Yao could find for himself in persuading King Wu to let King Yue return to China. Then he said, "Dazai, please." ”
Bo Yao said: "Continuing to leave the king of Yue in Wu will not do Wu any good, and Wu will still take care of it to eat and drink." Letting the king of Yue go back to the autumn festival did not do any harm to the state of Wu. As for Wu Zixu worried, one day the king of Yue sent troops to destroy the state of Wu, I think this is impossible, after this war, the country of Yue will not be able to recover in ten or eight years. So I think Wu Zixu is too worried. The advantage of letting King Yue return to China is that King Wu has a good reputation for benevolence. The conclusion is that this is a good thing, you didn't have Zheng Dan to give it to me, and I will help you with this. ”
Fan Li said: "What my lord means is that Fan Li has no Zheng Dan to dedicate to you, are you still willing to help Fan Li?" ”
Bo Yao said: "You and my brother, in the past few years of getting along, there is still a relationship, without Zheng Dan, I am willing to help." ”
Fan Li bowed down: "Thank you, sir." ”
Bo Yao pulled Fan Li up and said, "Brother doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”
Fan Li said: "My lord is really a believer. Then I'll tell you, Fan Li's promise has never been unfulfilled. ”
Bo Yao looked at Fan Li puzzled: "What do you mean by this, brother?" ”
Fan Li said, "Wait a minute, my lord. Walking out of the study, after a while, he walked in with Zheng Dan, only to see Zheng Dan's light steps, graceful posture, shy and smiling, and a deep blessing: "Concubine Zheng Dan to meet the adult!" ”
Bo Yao couldn't help but stand up, his eyes were straight, his mouth was open, and his saliva was falling drop by drop!
