Chapter 16 Tribute to the Closed Lu

King Goujian and Queen Yayu, accompanied by Fan Li, came to Gusu, the capital of Wu State, within a day.

The streets of Gusu City are wide and tidy, the shops are numerous, the merchants gather, the tourists are weaving, and it is a rich and prosperous place. King Yue sighed: "If it weren't for the defeat of the army, it would be the same." ”

Walking down the street, they were brought to a stone house, and the soldier said, "Come, come down." ”

When the Yue Wang couple got out of the car, an older soldier came over and said, "You are a good marquis, right?" My name is Sima Zhe, and you will be under my control from now on. ”

Fan Li walked over and stuffed a silver horn in Sima Zhe's hand: "Lord Sima, please take care of me." ”

Sima Zhe's face looked much better, and he glanced at Fan Li and said, "You are Doctor Fan, right?" I've heard of you for a long time, and it's true, you look as good as a woman. ”

Fan Li said: "Under Fan Li. Where we are not enough, please point us out. As he spoke, he shoved another silver horn.

Sima Zhe smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Doctor Fan really knows how to do things." Your life is simple. See this stone house, right? There were dozens of horses, all of which were used in the royal palace. Your job is to raise horses, feed and water the grass, clean the horse feces and horse urine. ”

The husband said, "Okay, let's do this work." ”

Sima Zhe said, "Do you see the garden over there?" That is the mausoleum of the former king, and it is also your job, which is to take care of it. Come on, come in. ”

Sima Zhe led the three of them into the stone house, and a foul smell rushed towards them, choking people out of breath, and dozens of horses were tied in front of the manger, fat and strong.

Gou Jian Yayu is the king and queen of a country, when has he ever been to such a place? I couldn't help frowning, feeling sick and sick for a while, and I couldn't help but feel sad when I thought that I would have to work and live in this kind of place in the future.

Sima Zhe said: "Master Hou, you work in this place, sleep in this place, and eat in this place. This is the bed, this is the pot stove, and the meal is made by yourself. ”

Fan Li said: "Thank you for your advice. ”

Sima Zhe said: "You have come from afar, take a rest today, and start working from tomorrow." ”

Sima Zhe went out. Fan Li hurriedly made the bed and said, "King, Queen, please sit down and rest." ”

Gou Jian said sadly: "Young uncle, you and I have been reduced to a servant, don't be obsessed with big gifts, just be like ordinary people." ”

Fan Li said in fear: "King, I can't help it, no matter when or what kind of environment it is, the great gifts of the monarch and ministers cannot be wasted." If we scatter now, it will wear down our will. ”

Gou Jian nodded and said, "What the young uncle said is reasonable. Sit down, too. ”

Fan Li said: "The king rests, and the ministers go out." Check back now. ”

Fan Li walked out of the stone house and said, "I've seen Lord Sima." ”

Sima Zhe said, "Doctor Fan, what's the matter with you?" ”

Fan Li said: "Is there a place nearby that sells sacrificial supplies? ”

Sima Zhe said: "Yes, there is a store of underworld products a mile away. What are you doing? You can't just leave. ”

Fan Li said: "That's the case, we want to buy some sacrifices and pay tribute to the first king." ”

Sima Zhe was stunned, he didn't expect it, but this matter is not easy to stop, and the sacrifice of the ancestor should not be stopped. Then he said, "How can you go to this for yourself?" In this case, I will ask my brother to run errands for you, and you can give the money to this brother. ”

Fan Li said: "So good, thank you, thank you!" He gave Sima Zhe a silver horn: "The rest of the money brothers buy a glass of wine to eat." ”

This is a rare good thing. One of the soldiers ran away with the money.

Fan Li returned to the stone house, and King Yue said, "Young uncle, why did you go?" ”

Fan Li said: "I asked the soldiers to buy some sacrifices, and we will go together to pay tribute to Helu." ”

King Yue's face showed anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Young uncle, what are you doing?" Although we are now prisoners of Wu, we are still enemies of each other, how can we pay tribute to our enemies? ”

Fan Li knelt down and said: "King, it is a trivial matter for us to suffer here, and the most serious thing is that we are still meat on King Wu's chopping board, and he can chop us into meat stuffing at any time." If we want to live, we must ask for their forgiveness. Win their hearts. We are angry, angry, and sad, and we must hide it in our hearts and not let them see it at all. Paying tribute to him is a way for us to curse him in our hearts, but we still have to pretend to be sincere in our hearts to pay tribute to him. Do you understand what I mean, King? ”

Queen Yayu said, "General, hurry up and calm down, the ground is very dirty." He turned his face to the king of Yue and said, "Your king, the general's meaning, we must pretend to be completely subservient to them, so that they will not attack us." ”

The anger on King Yue's face disappeared, and he said, "Young uncle, I understand what you mean, you are right, I blame you." ”

Sima Zhe walked in and said, "Master Hou, Doctor Fan, the sacrifice has been bought, when will you go to the grave?" ”

Fan Li said: "Lord Sima has worked hard, the king of my family said, go to pay tribute to the former king now, please ask the lord to lead the way?" ”

Sima Zhe said, "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Out of the stone house, Sima Zhe led the way, a soldier carrying the sacrifices, Yue Wang and his wife and Fan Li followed behind, and walked towards the tomb of Helu.

From a distance, the mausoleum is very tall, a lot higher than the surrounding houses. When he came to him, Sima Zhe opened the gate of the garden, which was full of green trees, very clean and elegant. The soldier laid out the tribute, Fan Li burned the paper money, and the dark coin turned into a gray butterfly, flying over the flames.

King Yue and Queen Yayu both knelt down and kowtowed. The king of Yue prayed and said: "The criminal minister of the East China Sea will go to see His Majesty the first king." May the king list the immortals as soon as possible and fly to Yaotai. Wu and Vietnam are close neighbors of each other, and they should be good neighbors and friendly to each other, and Gou Jian acted recklessly and fought against each other, resulting in the unfortunate death of the former king, and Gou Jian was full of guilt and regretted not being at the beginning. Now the king is a husband, forgive Gou Jian's sins, spare me from death, and Gou Jian must serve with all his heart and sincerely repent. May the kings ascend beyond the heavens in the spirits. ”

King Yue said this, but he had another idea in his heart. He thought that the ancestors founded the Yue Kingdom and guarded the tomb of King Yu, which has been passed down to this day for more than 20 generations. Although the country of Yue is located by the sea, remote and remote, it is outstanding people, and it was once so rich and powerful. Today, he is lost in his own hands, and even the king of a country has to be a cheap slave for others to drive, even if he dies, he has no face to see his ancestors and ancestors. What a humiliation!

Thinking of the sad place, I couldn't help but fall with tears, and I actually cried.

Fan Li was on the side, unable to close his mouth in surprise, thinking, this Gou Jian is really good at acting, if he is born in the next life, he will definitely become popular and become a star.

Sima Zhe also felt inexplicable on the side, thinking that this King of Yue is really cheap enough, Wu and Yue fought to the death, will Gou Jian really shed tears for the first king of Wu? But the tears are real, do you believe him, or don't you believe him?
