Chapter 454: Borrowing Grain

Fan Li killed the servants who mutilated Luo Jiang in one go. He wiped the blood from his sword and sheathed it from the corpses.

He stood dumbfounded, watching the corpses still "gurgling" and bleeding outward, and his heart was still panicked.

He knew that these servants were just some inhumane and despicable executors, and it was King Wu who really killed Luo Jiang.

King Wu didn't know which of the palace maids who were no longer virgins, which one was done by him and which one was done by Xiao Xia, and this was an ugly thing, and he couldn't interrogate and examine it with great fanfare, so he examined all the palace maids, not all the virgins were killed.

But he knows Luo Jiang well, Luo Jiang has always been by his side, and it can be said that he is inseparable. It was he who broke Luo Jiang's body, and in ordinary days, he still came from time to time.

However, he still killed Luo Jiang. Considering the reason, someone still offended him. But this time it was none other than his son Prince You, who offended him.

Originally, the crown prince asked King Wu for a maid, which was a normal request. King Wu agreed without hindrance.

But he is uncomfortable, he can't stand it, he and Luo Jiang have had that kind of thing more than once, and others can't be like Luo Jiang anymore.

But he knew by asking Chenzhi that the prince had slept with Luo Jiang. It was unbearable for him.

But it was the prince who should be punished, not Luo Jiang. Luo Jiang is a palace maid, what ability does she have to refuse the request of King Wu and the crown prince?

But King Wu was reluctant to punish the prince, and directly killed Luo Jiang. He didn't even consider Xi Shi's feelings at all, and he didn't consider Fan Li's feelings at all.

Selfishness and cruelty are in the nature of kings of the world.

In fact, it is the king of Yue, who is famous for his virtue and reputation, why is this not the case? He didn't listen to Fan Li's advice, and recklessly took the army, causing a catastrophe to destroy the country, not to mention his own crimes, and also harmed the people.

He became a slave in Wu, causing Queen Yayu to be humiliated by King Wu. He never reflects on himself, only thinks about being insulted, offended. As a deposed monarch, he has no place to be angry, so he can only rely on abusing his wife to be angry.

His cold treatment of Yayu lasted for more than twenty years, and finally directly led to Yayu's suicide.

The world is filthy, and the king is cruel. Wise as the practitioner is still so. And what about other monarchs? What else is necessary to be born and die for them?

After Fan Li's successful restoration of the country, he immediately retired, and these are important reasons.

After killing these murderers, Fan Li was not relieved in his heart. Luo Jiang has served him since a little girl, and now he is killed by King Wu like this, and he can't stand it in his heart.

Find King Wu to settle accounts!

Fan Li left the Wu Palace, urged the horse, galloped all the way, and returned to Gusutai. He had already made up his mind that if King Wu was still so domineering, he would kill King Wu directly. Even if it is more difficult to restore the country, it will not hesitate to do so.

There are still two miles away from Wu Palace, and a horse is galloping towards him. As soon as he saw Fan Li, the little army on horseback shouted: "My lord is back!" ”

Fan Li stopped and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Xiaojun said: "On the order of the king, please go back to Gusutai to discuss matters." ”

Fan Li was stunned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xiaojun said: "The little ones don't know, but the adults will know when they go back." King Dazai, and Xiangguo are waiting for you. ”

Fan Li was shocked again, the heads of King Wu gathered in Gusutai, what happened? He said, "Then let's go." ”

Fan Li followed the small army to speed up the horse, back to Gusutai, his own small army led to sit on the horse, he came to the clogs corridor, and found that it was a guest from Yueguo: Wenzhong.

Fan Li pressed the anger in his heart, did not attack for the time being, and stepped forward to greet each other. King Wu said, "Young uncle, sit down and speak, we are all waiting for you." Dazai, tell the young uncle about the intention of the literary doctor. ”

Bo Yao said: "Dr. Wen came to Wu in person this time because of the poor harvest in Yue this year, which caused a famine in Yue and a serious shortage of food for the people. The purpose of the doctor's envoy to Wu was to borrow grain from Wu. ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li used to be a minister in Yueguo, I don't have an attitude towards the affairs of Yueguo, and I agree with any result you discuss." ”

Wen Chong said with a smile: "Although the young uncle used to walk around in the Yue Kingdom, he has been in the Wu Kingdom for almost twenty years now, and he has long been no longer suspected of being private in the Yue Kingdom. ”

King Wu said: "What the doctor said is right, the young uncle has long been a member of the Wu Kingdom. Don't worry about the old things that once served King Yue. ”

Wen Chong said: "You negotiate, Wen Chong's presence is inconvenient, so I will retire first." I'll tell you the result of the discussion. As he spoke, he walked out of the venue and took his own army to rest.

King Wu said, "Okay, let's talk about this matter." Yue Guo came to borrow 200,000 quintals of grain, how did Wu Guo reply? ”

Bo Yao said: "The minister thinks he should borrow it." It is not the first time that countries in the world have borrowed grain from each other, and it has appeared between Wu and Yue. Some countries are at war and borrow food from each other. Moreover, the relationship between Yue and Wu is special, and the affairs of Yue are actually the affairs of Wu. Moreover, the grain borrowed by the Yue country is only 200,000 quintals, which is not too large a amount. ”

King Wu nodded and said, "What does Xiangguo mean?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "The old minister thinks that Yue Guo is not really short of food, but just uses this way to show an attitude to confuse us. ”

King Wu looked at Wu Zixu with strange eyes. The old contradictions between him and Wu Zixu have not been eliminated, and new contradictions have been added. Before, he sent Yue Xiang back to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, which made King Wu very annoyed, and this time he actually smashed King Wu's wine jar. It made King Wu feel offended. The matter of borrowing grain from Wen Chong asked him to come to discuss, which was just a formality. In fact, whether what he said was right or not, King Wu objected. King Wu said: "Xiangguo has repeatedly made amazing words, tell me, what attitude does Yue Guo want to show?" ”

Wu Zixu said: "Yue Guo wants to tell Wu Guo that Yue Guo did not treat Wu Guo as an outsider, and he would discuss with Wu Guo if there was anything." This is a set of near, the purpose is to paralyze us and make us relax our vigilance against Vietnam. Their previous contribution to the sword is also for this purpose. The king must not fail to notice. ”

Bo Yao laughed. King Wu said, "Why is Dazai laughing? ”

"I laugh at the conspiracy theories. When the army besieged Huiji Mountain, Xiangguo opposed accepting the surrender of King Yue, and said this set of words. Nearly 20 years have passed, and Xiangguo is still this conspiracy theory, saying that Yue Guo has a ghost in his heart, which is a big trouble for Wu Guo. If someone gives you a priceless treasure like a wisp sword, you can say that it is a bad intention, and if someone has difficulty seeking your help, you can also say that it is a bad intention. If Yue Guo does not borrow grain from Wu State, but borrows grain from Qi State, or borrows grain from Chu State, Xiang Guo will definitely say that Yue Guo and Wu State are colluding with the enemies of Wu State to deal with Wu State, that is to say, in Xiang Guo's eyes, no matter what Yue Guo does, it is wrong! ”

That's a lot of power. King Wu looked at Wu Zixu and wanted to hear how Wu Zixu answered.

Wu Zixu's red face slowly turned purple, he trembled with anger, stood up, and said: "King, the old minister is loyal to the country, and there is no second intention, although Dazai is against it, but the old minister still firmly believes that I am not wrong about Yue Guo." Yue Guo is the henchman of Wu State. ”。

Bo Yao sneered: "It's useless to say loyalty, it still depends on action, you can't say that you are loyal to the country, but in fact, you will bring Wu Guochao into the ditch." ”

Wu Zixu jumped up and shouted, "Bo Ya is talking nonsense! "Stretch out your hand, and draw your sword.
