Wu Zixu persuaded hard, but not only did not persuade King Wu to retract his fate, but caused King Wu's great disgust, and strengthened his determination to release King Yue.

Wu Zixu saw that he couldn't persuade King Wu, so he was sad in his heart, and had no choice but to cry.

It can be seen that what the world says is not about what you say, whether what you say is reasonable. The key is how to say it, who is saying it.

Wu Zixu's aura was too strong, and his tone was tough, which made King Wu feel coerced. The most important thing is that he did two things that made King Wu feel offended.

The first thing is to get Yayu to accompany the envoys of the Jin Kingdom; The second thing was to shoot Zheng Dan.

Men have a natural desire to protect their women, and if they violate their own women, they are tantamount to violating themselves.

The mistake made by Wu Zixu hit the key point of King Wu, which is the most intolerable thing as a man.

It stands to reason that King Wu should punish him, but King Wu is not very confused and knows the importance of Wu Zixu to Wu State, so this matter is over.

Wu Zixu is in this situation, and he still wants to make suggestions, no matter what he says is right or not, King Wu will not listen to him.

After Wu Zixu left, King Wu said to Bo Yao: "Dazai, you inform King Yue that the widow has decided to release King Yue and return to China. Please take a look at the almanac, choose the best day on the first day, and go to the Snake Gate for the king of Yue. ”

Bo Yao was full of joy and persuaded King Wu to release King Yue, which was tantamount to slapping Wu Zixu's face and letting out a bad breath. At the same time, he also flattered Zheng Dan, the beauty laughed happily, and they were more happy to get along.

Hurriedly said: "The minister will go and prepare, and this matter must be handled well." ”

King Yue returned to the harem, Xi Shi greeted him, and when he saw that the ceremony was over, King Yue hugged Xi Shi for fun. Without Zheng Dan, King Wu cherished Xi Shi even more, for fear that Xi Shi would make another mistake, which would cost him his life.

Xi Shi was in a good mood when he saw King Wu. He asked, "Is there something happy about the king?" ”

King Wu said: "The widow cleaned up Wu Zixu fiercely today, and he felt relieved in his heart, so he was happy. ”

Xi Shi lowered his eyebrows and did not answer. King Wu said: "Why didn't Qingqing speak? ”

Xi Shi said: "The king knows the rules of concubines, and he does not discuss state affairs." ”

King Wu patted the back of Xi Shi's hand and sighed, "Qingqing is really sensible." But there's one more thing to tell you. The widow has decided to let the king of Yue return to China, passed down the will, and set up a banquet at the snake gate on a certain day to serve the king of Yue. ”

Xi Shi bowed down, kowtowed, and said: "The king is merciful, this move touches the world, and the people of the world will praise the king's good name." ”

"Haha!" King Wu said with a smile, "What do the people of the world think, the widow doesn't care, as long as Qingqing likes it, the widow will be satisfied." ”

Shih Tzu said, "Shih Tzu is grateful for the king's grace and must serve the king carefully." ”

King Wu said: "Qingqing gets up and speaks, you and I are used to getting along, as close as one person, and there is no need for many etiquettes." ”

Xi Shi kowtowed again and said, "Xi Shi has something to ask for, please ask the king for permission." ”

King Wu pulled up Xi Shi and said, "Don't say anything about kindness, Qingqing will promise you no matter what you say." ”

Xi Shi said: "The king knows that the concubine's family is in the village of Lai Luo at the foot of the Lai Luo Mountain in the Yue Kingdom. It has been several years since the concubine left her parents to serve the king, and she has not heard from her parents for a long time. ”

King Wu said: "The widow sent someone to send the living expenses on time, do you know this?" ”

Xi Shi said: "Now that the king of Yue is about to return to the country, the concubine wants to visit the king of Yue, and ask him to send someone to bring a letter to the village of Lai Luo to report the safety of his parents." I beg the King's permission. ”

King Wu said: "This is as it should be, Qingqing is a filial daughter and should be commended." The widow will go with you. ”

So he ordered someone to prepare a car, and King Wu and Xi Shi went to the Lu Cemetery together to visit King Yue.

King Wu decided to let King Yue return to China, and Fan Li told King Yue Gou Jian and Queen Yayu as soon as possible.

Yayu wept with joy and said, "Congratulations to the king, after all the hardships, I finally survived this day." ”

King Yue was naturally full of joy and said: "Being able to leave Wu safely is the work of the young uncle." ”

Fan Li hurriedly saluted and said: "The minister just did something that should be done, how dare he take credit." Things have come to this point, all thanks to the king's generosity, patience and burden, and the queen's virtuous assistance. ”

Queen Yayu glanced at Fan Li deeply, her eyes were full of love and respect. He said, "Did the young general also follow the king back to Vietnam?" ”

Fan Li pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is all arranged by the king. The minister thought that the king's return to Vietnam was only our most preliminary victory. The current situation is that the Yue State has been destroyed by the Wu State. National strength cannot be restored without 10 or 8 years. In contrast, the state of Wu had bumper harvests every year and its territory continued to expand. Under Wu Zixu's intensive training, Wu's army has become one of the strongest armies in the world. We have a long way to go in the great cause of recovering our country. ”

King Yue said: "What the young man said is very true, the young uncle can draw up a big strategic plan for what we will do in the future, and then we will act according to the plan." ”

Fan Li said: "After the king returns to China, it is important to do two things, the first is to develop production and restore national strength. The second is to encourage fertility and multiply the population. Here, we also have to find a way to weaken the national strength of Wu. One day, our national strength surpasses that of Wu, so that we can destroy him.

"Domestic affairs, by the Minister of Literature and the ministers to assist the king to handle, Wu side of the matter, as soon as Fan Li leaves, there will be no one, so it seems that the minister will stay in Wu for some time."

King Yue said: "Shaobo's idea is very reasonable, after the widow returns to China, it will be handled like this, as for how to toss Wu Guo, this matter will be handled by Shaobo." Your foundation in the country of Wu is very good. Continue to stay in Wu and find a way to consume Wu's national strength. ”

Fan Li bowed down and said, "The minister's order!" ”

Yayu said: "General, you are alone in the country of Wu, be careful. Do you want to send a girl to take care of you? ”

Fan Li said: "Thank you for your care." You don't need to use this. Fan Li will take care of herself. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard King Wu arrive and hurriedly greeted him. The king of Yue, Fan Liya, saluted and worshipped.

"Ministers see the king!"

King Wu laughed and said, "No courtesy, Brother Wang, who do you see coming to see you?" ”

When everyone looked at it, they saw Zimei and Luo Jiang helping Xi Shi get out of the car, and Yue Wang and Fan Li stepped forward to salute: "See Madame!" ”

Xi Shi had tears in his eyes, and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to King Yue, and said, "The king can't perform this great gift to Xi." Although the concubines served the king in the state of Wu, their parents were still in the kingdom of Yue, and Xi Shi was still the king's courtier. ”

Yayu stepped forward and pulled up Xi Shi and said, "Madame, don't be sad, my husband and wife have been approved by King Wu, and they will return to Yue in the near future." When we return to Yuedi, we will definitely send someone to Lai Luo Village to comfort your parents. Madame don't have to worry about it, just serve the king with peace of mind. ”

Xi Shi said: "Please tell the concubine's parents, Xi Shi is very good here, the king loves Xi Shi very much, and everything is fine." Every spring and winter festival, Xi Shi will burn incense and pray to God to bless the two elders with peace and health. Xi Shi please. ”

Yayu said: "Madame should serve the king wholeheartedly, the king's diet and daily life should be attentive to everything, and the king's health is the great luck of Wu Yue and the people." ”

Xi Shi said: "Xi Shi remembers the queen's teachings and must serve the king well." ”
