Wu Zixu angrily left Wentai Garden, where King Wu led his ministers to drink, and returned home. When I returned home, I was still uneasy.

It is clear that the king of Yue and his ministers are playing tricks and fooling the eyes of King Wu. He had clearly sensed that there was a big conspiracy here, and if this conspiracy succeeded, the state of Wu would be over.

King Goujian of Yue was very powerful, no matter how he provoked each other, he would not be angry, and even put his queen into the palace for King Wu's pastime, and he endured it.

He had just heard that in order to curry favor with King Wu, he had actually tried to diagnose a disease. Wu Zixu felt chills on his body. This trick is too powerful. King Wu couldn't resist such an attack at all.

Although King Wu was the monarch of a country, virtuous, intelligent, and capable, he had the kindness of a woman who was most taboo among politicians. Like a child, he didn't know that people were sinister.

He's such a king, and he just let Gou Jian's kid fool him.

The root of all this is on Fan Li, these ghost ideas are all designed by Fan Li, and they are very clever, and they can't grasp any tricks at all. And Fan Li turned out to be a celebrity around King Wu.

As Xiangguo, he didn't listen to the king at all, and watched the Wu Kingdom that he had single-handedly supported enter danger. Wu Zixu couldn't tell how anxious he was.

He doesn't care about personal life and death, honor and disgrace, and his heart is all about the survival of the country.

King Yue is going to return to China, as soon as King Yue returns, Wu will start to be unlucky, how can this situation be saved?

This Wu Zixu was cranky and didn't sleep well all night. He wanted to stop the king from going back. Although King Wu would not listen to him, he had to do so. Even if he angered King Wu like this, he would not hesitate to do so.

The next morning, Wu Zixu hurriedly ate breakfast and went into the palace to see King Wu. When he met King Wu in the imperial study, King Wu was talking and laughing with Bo Yao.

This guy, earlier than himself.

Bo Yao is shrewd and capable, and he is a good hand at managing national politics. But this guy is cunning and fickle, obviously a villain, but King Wu likes him. What can you do?

Wu Zixu saw Bo Yao here, and his heart was half cold. Knowing that your plan is impossible to achieve. In a war of words, Bo Yao is much stronger than him.

Wu Zixu stepped forward to pay respects: "See Your Majesty." ”

King Wu said: "Xiangguo, come early in the morning to see the widow, what can you teach the widow?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister doesn't dare. Whoever knows me, so is the king. The soldiers are straight, and if they have anything to say, they will say it directly, and if it is inappropriate, please ask King Haihan. ”

King Wu said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister heard that the king wants to let the king of Yue Gou Jian return to Vietnam, is this the case? ”

King Wu said, "It is true. It has been three years since King Yue came to Wu. The widow thinks that it will take three years to investigate a person. ”

He said, "The king had just talked to him about it. In the past three years, King Yue has not said a wrong word or done a wrong thing. but faithful and faithful to the king. Especially Fan Li, if he has two hearts, the last time the assassin assassinated, as long as he dodged to the side and didn't come to the rescue, no one could hold him responsible. And the king has already gone to the Yellow Springs. But Fan Li still sacrificed his life to save the king, so that the king could save the day. ”

Wu Zixu said: "These are all superficial articles, which are made to show people, and the purpose is to deceive the king's trust." ”

Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo, you have always suspected that King Yue has bad intentions and harbors evil intentions. But can you come up with a little proof? The king said yesterday that as long as you Wu Xiangguo said a little evidence, he would immediately take down King Yue. But you, Wu Xiangguo, can't come up with a single piece of evidence. If you think of a person as bad, does that person have to be a bad person? If you do what you do, I don't know how many unjust ghosts there are in the world. ”

Wu Zixu said: "King, King Yue is the king of Yue Kingdom, and you must not look at King Yue with the eyes of ordinary people." Do you think, Yue Wanggui is the king of a country, with his body as Wu, he bears the hatred of losing the country and taking his wife, but he can bear it, and he still grovels like that. Unless he is a fool, and then he has a bad heart, but King Yue is not a fool. He's setting up a big hoax, a big conspiracy hatching. All of us were deceived by him. ”

King Wu said: "What Xiangguo said seems to be reasonable. But, for the reasons you just said, can we take down King Wu? Can your reasons be used as a basis for doing things? If we do that, what will the world think? Do they see us as fools, or are they sadists? A man cannot stand without faith. If we don't accept what everyone in the world does, how can we stand? ”

Bo Yao said: "Yesterday Xiangguo shook his hand at the king's birthday banquet, I was very unhappy, the king was sick for a few months, and finally recovered his health, taking the opportunity of his birthday, please have a meal, happy and happy, but Xiangguo said something inconsequential, in vain to annoy the king, and finally shook his hand away, which made the king embarrassed? To put it mildly, it is not to take the king in his eyes and to underestimate the king. To put it more seriously, you are relying on your own merits, relying on your old ministers in the former dynasty, to bully the king! ”

This is so poisonous! Wu Zixu's face began to turn purple again, and he just wanted to be angry, but he held back again. He bowed to King Wu and said, "What the old minister did not do yesterday is wrong, please punish the king." ”

King Wu said, "Forget it, it's lucky that you don't punish the widow." ”

Wu Zixu knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "The king's words are serious, and the ministers deserve to die." ”

King Wu said, "Get up." Tell me why you lost your temper so much yesterday. ”

Wu Zixu said: "The minister saw that Wu Guo treated his enemies with the same courtesy as he treated distinguished guests. So it got out of control for a while. That Gou Jian has the heart of a tiger and a wolf inside, and pretends to be gentle and respectful on the surface. The king likes to listen to good and obedient words, and does not think about future disasters, and does not like to listen to bad advice, and raises great enemies with small kindness. It's like putting your hair on the stove and feeling lucky that it won't burn. It's like putting an egg under a boulder and hoping it doesn't break. How dangerous it is. When Chen heard that Xia Wei climbed to a high place, he knew that it was very dangerous, but he didn't know how to protect himself, and he knew that he would die in the face of the sharp steel knife, but he didn't know how to survive. If you are deluded, you should immediately wake up and know that you are on the wrong path, and you should return immediately. The king must not go unnoticed! The words were earnest, prostrate on the ground, and tears fell.

King Wu sighed: "Xiangguo, the widow has been sick for three months, and I haven't heard a warm word from you, it's Xiangguo's disloyalty, and I haven't received any condolences from Xiangguo, it's Xiangguo's unkindness." What is the use of a courtier who is disloyal and unkind? Gou Jian gave up his country, returned to the widow for thousands of miles, sacrificed all his treasures, and was a slave, which was his loyalty, and the widow was sick, and he had no resentment at all, and he was benevolent. If the widow listens to Xiangguo's words and kills such a kind person, God will not bless the widow. ”

Wu Zixu burst into tears and said, "King, you have said the opposite. The tiger crouched there and did not move, and then it was a thunderbolt. Tanuki lurks and then pounces on its prey. King Yue is in Wu, and his hatred is hidden in his heart, how can he let you see it? When he does something to diagnose a disease, he is actually buying your heart. If the king does not see this, the state of Wu is in danger. ”

King Wu said impatiently: "Xiangguo don't say it anymore, the widow's mind has been decided!" ”

Wu Zixu knew that he couldn't persuade King Wu, so he got up and cried loudly and left.
