Chapter 15 Going to the country and entering Wu
King Wu led a large army to withdraw to the state of Wu. Sent the doctor Wang Sun Xiong to lead 10,000 troops to supervise the implementation of the treaty by the king and the ministers of Yue, and entered Wu as scheduled. In addition, Wu Zixu led 50,000 troops to be stationed on the riverside, and after the king of Yue left the country and entered Wu, he drove into the country of Yue to carry out the responsibility of supervision.
Under the supervision of Wang Sunxiong, the king of Yue, Goujian, disbanded the remnants of 5,000 soldiers and horses, disbanded together with the palace guards and local soldiers, collected all weapons, loaded them into ships, and sent them to Wu.
The doctor Wang Sun Xiong kept urging him to set off, and King Goujian of Yue didn't feel tears in his eyes, and said: "The time to set off is urgent, let's hurry up and prepare, things have come to this point, and the king doesn't have to be sad for the useless!" ”
Yue Wang Nai collected tears, inspected Yuedu, and saw that the market was the same, Ding Zhuang was depressed, and he couldn't help but look ashamed.
While ordering people to pack up the treasures in the treasury and load them into vehicles. He also recruited 330 women from the middle school, and sent 300 to King Wu and 30 to Dazai.
The day of departure has arrived. Gou Jian led the ministers, and finally came to the temple to burn incense and worship. Gou Jian didn't feel that the tears came down again, and said to the ministers: "The widow inherits the foundation of the ancestors, works diligently, like walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss, and does not dare to slack off for a day." Unexpectedly, now Fu Jiao is defeated, so the country is ruined, and he goes thousands of miles to be a prisoner. ”
The ministers wept bitterly. Wen Chong approached, knelt down to the king of Yue, and said: "King, when King Tang was imprisoned in Xiatai, King Wen was imprisoned in Jinli, and later became a king in one fell swoop; There are also Qi Huan Gong who fled to Ju, Jin Wen Gong who fled to Zhai, went through hardships, and dominated the world in one fell swoop, these are all examples of finally rising in adversity. Where can there be smooth sailing in the way of the world's kings? Now the king is in adversity, perhaps the heavens have deliberately arranged for the king to hone the king's will and test the king's determination in a difficult situation. When the king goes, he should follow the will of heaven, concentrate on himself, and do not forget to restore the kingdom. I believe that there is a time when the willows and flowers will shine. Please don't be overly sad and take care of yourself, this is the wish of the people of Yueguo! ”
Fan Li stepped forward to help King Yue and said, "What Xiangguo said is very right." The minister heard that if you live in a large and luxurious house, your ambitions will not be ambitious, and those who are rich in fine clothes and rich flavors, and who indulge in pleasures, will not have far-reaching strategies. Think about the sages of ancient times, who did not endure hardships and dangers and suffered unbearable shame? From ancient times to the present, you are not the king alone who suffers. ”
King Yue bowed his head and remained silent. The ministers were repeatedly comforted, and their mood eased slightly.
King Yue said: "The widow went to Wu as a slave, and he still thought about the ministers and the people in his heart. The first king Dayu, divided the feudal and the world was governed, although the flood was raging, but it could not harm the people. Why? The world is united. Now the widow is about to leave the country of Yue and become a slave in Wu, and the affairs of the country will be handed over to the ministers and doctors. Doctors, what can you do so that you don't disappoint the widows? ”
Fan Li walked out, looked at everyone and said: "I heard, 'the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, the lord humiliates the ministers to death', and now our king has the trouble of staying away from the temple, and he will also be insulted by the servitude of servitude. ”
The doctors said in unison, "We will always be the king's courtiers, and we will always obey the king's call." ”
Gou Jian said: "Thank you, please tell me, who is willing to enter Wu with the widow, and who is willing to manage the Yue Kingdom at home?" ”
Wen Chong said loudly: "In the territory of the Yue Kingdom, leading the people to produce, deal with the contradictions of the people, and solve the hardships of the people, these things, General Fan Li is not as good as mine." Follow the king into Wu, deal with the king of Wu, protect the safety of the king, and finally let the king return to Yue safely, which requires the ability to adapt to the situation, and I am not as good as Fan Li in this regard. ”
Fan Li said: "Xiangguo said very clearly, now the king trusts the country, please Xiangguo to take state affairs as the priority, lead the people to farm, although there is a Wu army stationed, can not forget the military." Gather the hearts of the people of the whole country to lift great things. As for assisting the king in danger, getting through the difficulties, enduring the humiliation of the Wu Kingdom, and finally letting the king return safely, I Fan Li dare not refuse. ”
Dazai Kusei said, "It is my business to issue the king's orders, to proclaim the king's benevolence, to deal with the problems of the people, and to educate the people. ”
The pedestrian said: "I am responsible for communicating with the princes to make envoys, resolving conflicts with the princes, and safeguarding the interests of the country." ”
Si Zhihaojin said: "It is my business to point out the inappropriate words and deeds of the monarchs and ministers, supervise the behavior of the stewards, ensure the honest and efficient operation of the state institutions, and establish a good manner. ”
Sima Zhujiying said: "Although the Wu soldiers are stationed, they still have to secretly train people with military talents among the people, and once they do something, they can quickly pull up the army." That's my business. ”
Si Nong Gaoru said: "The people's weddings and funerals, birth, old age, sickness and death, supporting the old and the young, saving the old and saving the new, this is all my business. ”
"Observing climate change, building water conservancy, issuing calendars, guiding farming, and teaching people to ward off disasters are all my business," Taishi Ji Ni said. ”
The ministers expressed their positions one by one. King Yue nodded frequently and said, "The affairs of the country are left to you." All the doctors have virtues, show their strengths, and do their best to protect the community, what else is there to worry about? The widow went, and the domestic affairs were entrusted to the literary commander, and Fan Li followed the widow into Wu. Do you have anything to say? ”
The ministers said, "Only the king's orders are obeyed!" ”
Wang Sunxiong urged the superintendent, and within a day, everything was ready, forming a convoy, carrying treasures and palace maids, King Goujian of Yue, and Queen Yayu, under the escort of the Wu army, left Huiji and marched to Wudi.
Along the way, people knelt on the side of the road and cried to see off King Yue. King Yue got out of the car and walked and greeted his father with tears in his eyes.
An old man ran over, held a bowl of wine, knelt in front of King Yue, and cried and said, "The king is here, take care, drink this bowl of wine, and God will bless the king with safety." ”
King Yue took the wine, drank it all, and said with tears in his eyes: "Old man, please get up, the widow is incompetent, and the people will suffer the pain of losing the country." My husband is at home, planting crops well, and living a good life. ”
All the way forward, the people along the way knelt down and shouted: "Take care of the king!"
Suddenly, a strong man jumped up and shouted: "When the king goes to the kingdom, my heart is so sad that I can't be loyal, and I will die to repay the king!" With that, the dagger flashed and severed his neck, and a mist of blood erupted.
King Yue shouted: "Don't be a strong man!" But it was too late to save each other, and the king of Yue fell to the ground, howling and crying, and all his entourage wept.
The ministers were all sent to Zhejiang. Fan Li has prepared a boat in Guling to welcome the king of Yue.
Wen Chong held a wine glass, came to the front of King Yue, and said:
"The emperor is helped, the front sinks and the back rises, the disaster is the root of virtue, the worry is the blessing hall, the mighty people are destroyed, the obedient are prosperous, although the king is drowned, there is no harm after that, the monarch and the ministers are separated, the emperor is moved, the husbands are sad, all are not sentimental, the ministers please recommend the breast, and the wine is two!"
King Yue poured wine into the river and said loudly: "Death is what everyone is afraid of, and now Gou Jian is alive and it is more difficult than death." ”
Fan Li helped the king to get on the boat, and the sender cried and worshiped on the riverbank.
The boat started, and Gou Jian looked back frequently. I can't bear it. Suddenly, I heard Yayu lying on the boat gang crying:
Flying birds and black kites, Ling Xuan is fluttering;
Jizhou Zhu Xi is excellent, and the clouds are hard to be healthy;
The wind is fluttering westward, do you know how many years you will return?
The heart is like a cut, and the tears are hanging!
