King Yue saw Fan Li withdraw his sword, strode away, stood expressionless for a while, and then walked towards the harem. There were already chamberlains who beckoned the palace maids to come out to see the driver together, which meant that King Yue would pick some of his favorite ones to enjoy at will.

King Yue didn't squeak, just walked silently in front of the palace maids, and when he saw someone he liked, he paused slightly and nodded slightly. And he walked over. The chamberlain followed, remembering these maids. When King Wu walked over, he immediately sent these palace maids over.

King Yue disliked Queen Yayu, and he was not close to women for 20 years, and this time the ban was lifted, and the palace maids bombarded indiscriminately in the harem for several days, and they were extremely promiscuous to the fullest.

A few days later, when Wen Chong had arranged the post-war affairs, he returned to Yue with all the captured Wu Palace and a group of palace maids.

After a great battle, the king of Yue awarded all the generals and all the soldiers in the war to destroy Wu, whether they had merit or not, not a word of commendation, no reward, and not an inch of land. Coldly indifferent to the old ministers who have followed faithfully for twenty years. Day by day, estranged. Having fun in the harem all day long, it is not easy for the minister to look at him.

Doctor Ji Ni pretended to be crazy and handed in his resignation, but King Yue didn't even look at it, and allowed him to leave. A group of old ministers such as Lu Yong returned to their hometowns one after another, and most of the ministers left within a few days.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chong was worried, saying that he was sick and did not go to the court.

Suddenly, one night, Wen Chong sat alone under the lamp. Feeling the lights flickering, he looked up, and Fan Li stood in front of him. Hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, please take a seat." ”

Fan Li sighed, sat down, and said, "Why don't you leave, brother, are you waiting for Gou Jian to kill you?" ”

Wen Chong said: "Why did the virtuous brother say this? ”

Fan Li said: "Brother, we left the Chu State together, defected to the Yue State, and had to be reused by the king first, so that the Yue State became strong, but unfortunately Yun Chang died too early, Gou Jian succeeded to the throne, and lost a good and decent Yue State, you and my brother and a group of courtiers were loyal, with hard work, and fought hard for 20 years, and finally destroyed the Wu State and revived the Yue State. You look at what Gou Jian is doing now, there is no reward for the old ministers, and the old ministers are forced to leave more than half. ”

Wen Chong said: "Why did he do this? ”

Fan Li said: "It's very simple, he is afraid that meritorious people will cover up his brilliance. The man had a long, bird-like beak. He himself is tough and resolute, and can endure humiliation, but he is jealous of the meritorious minister. Such a person can only share the weal and sorrow with others, not with others. Brother, hurry up, don't wait for him to come and kill you, it's too late. As his courtiers, we have done our best to help him succeed in restoring the country, and we can be regarded as loyal. It would be foolish to be killed by him because of this. ”

Wen Chong didn't speak, lowered his head and pondered for a while, raised his head, looked at Fan Li and said, "Brother, are you a little filtered, King Yue is not bad to this extent, right?" ”

Fan Li was a little anxious: "Brother, do you remember what King Wu said to us when he was dying?" Fucha has been confused all his life, but he can still see the king of Yue. He said that the birds in the sky were knocked down, the slingshots were hidden, the rabbits were killed by the dogs, and the hounds were boiled and eaten. When the enemy country is breached, the scheming minister will be killed. Now that the Kingdom of Wu has been destroyed by us, and we people are no longer useful, it is time for King Yue to do something to us. ”

Wen Chong said: "Brother, according to what you say, King Yue is worse than King Wu?" ”

Fan Li said: "Where can King Yue compare to King Wu? King Wu is confused and arrogant, but there is still a little bit of woman's kindness, otherwise King Yue would not have lived until now. And King Yue is insidious, vicious, ruthless, and ruthless, and everyone in the world is his target. He is much worse than King Wu. ”

Wen Chong said: "Brother Xian, I'm really a little unwilling, we have worked hard for so many years. Can King Yue kill you and me? ”

Fan Li bowed down and said, "Brother, don't be confused. King Yue is a person with no humanity. Let's talk about Xi Shi, it can be said that it has made great contributions to the restoration of the country. But he couldn't leave Xi Shi alive. He regarded Xi Shi's dedication to the restoration of the country as unclean, and in front of me, he said that Xi Shi must die. I pointed my sword at his chest, and he didn't even say where he hid Shih Tzu? I'm not done with him, and if he really wants to kill Shih Tzu, I'm not polite to him. ”

Wen Chong hurriedly said: "Brothers, don't act rashly, we have struggled for so many years, and we must not leave the notoriety of killing the king." ”

Fan Li said: "Brother, I will handle this matter well." I'm worried about you. Don't hesitate any longer, King Yue will do it to you at any time. Hurry up and go as far as possible. I know that over the years, my brother has no savings, it doesn't matter, when my brother settles down, I will naturally know where you are, and I will give you some help to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Wen Chong sighed and said: "Brother, I am really sad for my brother, I can't imagine that we have struggled for decades and ended up like this." ”

Fan Li said: "There is no good thing among the kings of the world. The elder brother thought too highly of them, so he was disappointed. I won't bother anymore. ”

Wen Chong said: "Brother, where are you going now?" ”

Fan Li said: "I'm going to find Xi Shi now." If I can't find Xi Shi, I won't leave, and I will turn the country upside down. ”

Fan Li left in a hurry, and Wen Chong sat under the lamp and was secretly sad. But he never believed that King Yue would kill him.

There were some people around King Yue who did not hide from the king, so they slandered in the ears of the king of Yue, saying that the king himself thought that the credit was very great, and he thought that the king's reward was too little, and he was resentful, so he didn't even participate in the matter of the court.

King Yue knew that the talent of the literary genre was far higher than his own, and as soon as the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, such a person would not have much effect. If one day Wen Chong commits a rebellion, there is really no one who can subdue him. So he gave birth to the heart to get rid of the genre.

One day, King Yue went to Wenchong's mansion to visit Wenchong's illness. Wen Chong these days, because of the heavy heart, really sick. As soon as I heard that King Yue had come to visit the sick, my heart suddenly became relaxed. I secretly thought, Brother Fan Li, you have seen things very accurately all your life, but this time you are wrong, didn't King Yue come to visit Wenzhong? .

Hurriedly welcomed him in and respectfully invited King Yue to sit down. King Yue said: "Is Xiangguo better?" ”

Wen Chong Shili said: "The minister is much better, and he will be able to go to the court to do things soon." ”

King Yue smiled and said, "I heard that the widow has heard that the strong-willed and disciplined people do not think much about their own life and death, but value whether their ideas can be implemented. Xiangguo has seven techniques to destroy Wu, and the widow only used three techniques to destroy Wu, where are the remaining four techniques? ”

Wen Chong said: "The minister doesn't know where to use it. ”

King Yue untied the sword at his waist, put it on the table, and said: "It's a pity that you don't use the four techniques, the widow gave you a sword, take your four techniques, and go underground to fight with Wu Zixu again, okay?" With that, he strode out and got into the chariot. I went back to the palace.

Wen Chong picked up the sword and looked at it. It is engraved with the word "genus engraving", which is the sword that King Wu gave to Wu Zixu to commit suicide.

Wen's heart is cold. He looked up to the sky and sighed and said, "God, what kind of world is this?" How can people's hearts be so bad? As the old saying goes, no matter how great your kindness is, you can't expect others to reciprocate it. I didn't listen to the advice of Brother Fan Li, and I still had illusions about Gou Jian, and the result was that I was killed by Gou Jian, I was really stupid. ”

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face. Suddenly, he laughed again: "There is a Wu Zixu who is stupider than me, and when future generations talk about literature, they must put me and Wu Zixu together." can be as famous as Wu Zixu, and it's worth it if the literary species dies! With that, the sword was pulled around his neck and he fell to the ground and died.
