At the end of the banquet, Huang Xie personally sent Fan Ju out of the pavilion, and said guiltily: "Qin Xiang, it's all my fault." If the banquet is not well arranged, it will..."

"Brother Huang, it's not your fault." Fan Ju also felt that this incident was caused by him, and his tone was full of apologies: "You have to comfort the prince more." ”

Although Huang Xie saw that the plan was successful, he didn't show it, but showed a very sorry look and said, "Qin Xiang, next time I invite you to drink." ”

"Okay." Fan Ju said a few more words, boarded the carriage, and motioned for the other party to go back.

Huang Xie said humbly: "Send Qin Xiang." ”

After sending Fan Ju away, Huang Xie returned to the pavilion. Prince Chu had recovered from his grief, his face was as usual, and he asked, "Can we return to the country?" ”

Huang Xie said indifferently: "How can I not know the character of King Qin. It is easy to enter Qin, but it is difficult to leave Qin. The prince doesn't know, what about your grandfather and your father's entry into Qin? ”

"I know." In that year, King Huai of Chu entered Qin, was detained in Wuguan, imprisoned in Xianyang, and finally died in a foreign land. When the king of Chu was the crown prince, he was also a hostage. Qin said that he killed Shi Dafu and fled back to Chu without authorization, causing Qin and Chu to fight each other. Because of this incident, Prince Heng, who is a proton, almost became a sinner in the Chu State, and the position of the crown prince was almost abolished.

This is the national shame of the Chu State, and the crown prince doesn't know the shame of his grandfather and father.

Huang Xie saw that the prince gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of anger, and he comforted: "Prince, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads." Those who have achieved great things, when it is time to endure, remember, must endure. ”

The crown prince calmed down his disordered breath, and said in a slightly angry tone: "When I think of the shame of my grandfather and father, I can't control myself. ”

Huang Xie saw that the prince was furious, but he did not let his emotions be controlled, and persuaded: "Shame and courage." The prince remembered the shame of his ancestors, and he will surely be able to avenge his shame one day. ”

Prince Chu stabilized his mind and asked, "Mr. asked me to act in this play for Fan Ju to see." I don't know if Mr.'s strategy will work. ”

Huang Xie said decisively, "King Qin will not let the crown prince go back." ”

Prince Chu asked puzzledly: "Fan Ju can't help me return to China, sir, why do you want me to act in this play?" ”

"I'm just laying a barrier and misleading Fan Ju." Huang Xie remembered that Fan Ju had fallen into his own plan but didn't know it, and said, "In this way, we can buy more time to return to China." ”

Prince Chu couldn't figure out this sentence and asked, "Wouldn't we make the Qin people vigilant when we acted in this play?" ”

"Quite the opposite." Huang Xie said again: "If we act in this play, Fan Ju will definitely think that we don't have the courage to leave the Qin State." Fan Ju will also intercede with the King of Qin on our behalf and let us return to China. ”

"Sir, didn't you say that King Qin wouldn't let me go back to China?"

"Fan Ju is better with us, so he will naturally intercede for us. However, the King of Qin will not let us go back, nor will he believe that we dare to leave the Qin State without permission. Fan Ju couldn't help us with this, and he didn't have the face to see us. In this way, we can steal the beams and change the pillars. By the time Qin found out, the crown prince had already returned to the country? ”

"Stealing beams for pillars?" Prince Chu saw that Huang Xie first let himself act to confuse Fan Ju, and then thought about the next move, step by step, and praised: "The situation is in the hands of Mr., it seems that I can return to the country!" ”

Huang Xie nodded and said, "Prince, tomorrow when the gate of Xianyang City of Qin State opens, you will immediately leave to return to the country?" ”

Prince Chu asked, "I was imprisoned by the Qin people, how can I leave Xianyang City." ”

"The prince must have forgotten the four words I said." Huang Xie said again: "Steal beams and change pillars." ”

Prince Chu asked, "How did Mr. steal Liang?" And how to change the column? ”

Huang Xie high-fived, and a person walked in from the outside, "He's the person I've been looking for for a long time." This person's body and appearance are not much different from the prince. He is also good at imitating other people's voices. If you don't look at it up close, you can't tell the difference. ”

The man saluted and said, "I've seen the prince." ”

When Prince Chu saw the tone of the comer's speech, as if he were speaking, he was stunned. Prince Chu looked at the person in front of him seriously, and at a cursory glance, this person was indeed very similar to him. Suddenly, Prince Chu understood everything and praised: "It turns out that this is Mr.'s stealing beams and changing pillars." However, the Qin State is heavily guarded, how can I get out of Xianyang? And how to return to Chu? ”

Huang Xie knew that Prince Chu had this question, slapped his palms twice, and walked in again, introducing, "This is the envoy of my country who came to Qin for the funeral." Today, although the state funeral of the Qin State continues, the funeral is over. The prince dressed up in disguise and followed the envoy back to China? ”

The prince of Chu asked, "King Qin summoned me, how should the gentleman deal with it?" ”

Huang Xie said with a smile: "Qin Guo first died the Prince of Qin, and then the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan. This was a heavy blow to King Qin. Today's King of Qin is in turmoil, has no fighting spirit, and is busy with national funerals. How could the king of Qin summon the crown prince? ”

The prince of Chu was silent for a while, and then said: "If I leave the Qin State without permission, will it cause Qin and Chu to become hostile." In the name of the Qin State, I became a sinner of the Chu State. Sir, I can't leave the Qin State. ”

Seeing that the prince was reluctant to return to the country, the Chu envoy hurriedly said: "The prince has left the state of Chu for many years and is far away from the court. Today, the king is seriously ill, and he does not know how long he can last it. If something happens to the king, the rivers and mountains of Chu will be seized by others. ”

The prince of Chu said: "I am the prince of Chu and the future king of Chu. A hundred years after my father, the world of Chu will be mine. Who dares to risk the condemnation of the world and take away my country. ”

Huang Xie saw that Prince Chu's thoughts were too naïve, so he shook his head and said, "Prince, there are many people who covet the throne. If the king leaves, the prince does not return, and the country will be seized by others. ”

Prince Chu said: "If my father dies, King Qin will also let me go back." I came to Qin to be above board, and I want to be beautiful when I go back. ”

Huang Xie saw the prince say this, and laughed wildly: "The prince's words, isn't it funny. ”

"What's so funny?"

"The crown prince doesn't know why the King of Qin detained you in the Qin Kingdom. That's because King Qin wants to get benefits from you. ”

"I know."

"If the king unfortunately dies, the crown prince is still in the Qin State. The ministers of the Chu State, in order to avoid being coerced by the Qin State, will definitely set up a new monarch. The value of the crown prince in the Qin State was lost. King Qin treats the prince well because the prince is still valuable. The crown prince has no value, how will the king of Qin deal with the crown prince. ”

The envoy of Chu also said: "Did the prince forget? At that time, King Chu Huai was detained in Qin, and the king was confronted by Qi. The dragons of Chu have no leader, and they are afraid that the princes will attack. The courtiers consulted and prepared to appoint a new king. If it weren't for Qu Yuan, Zhao Ju and other loyal and upright ministers, the throne of Chu would have been someone else, not your father. ”

Prince Chu naturally knew about these past events, and said slightly angrily: "Who dares to take away my country? ”

"Although the crown prince is the prince of Chu, the prince's position is not stable. Not to mention, the other sons of the first king. Yang Wenjun's two sons can shake the status of the crown prince. ”

When Prince Chu heard this, he didn't speak.

"Your Majesty, unfortunately passed away, and the crown prince is not in the Chu State. Yang Wenjun's two sons are in the country again, and they will definitely take away the throne that belongs to the crown prince. The new lord of Chu, in order to consolidate his position, will definitely give benefits to the king of Qin and persuade the king of Qin to kill the crown prince. The prince has no use value, how will the King of Qin treat you. Huang Xie saw that if he didn't break the words, the prince of Chu would not return to the country, and said: "What will happen when you wait for the prince's ending?" The prince is a smart man, I don't need to say it! ”

Seeing that the prince of Chu was moved, the envoy of Chu hurriedly said: "Prince, please return to the country with me." ”

Prince Chu was silent. If he does not return to the country, his father will die, and the state of Chu will definitely change hands. He lost his value in the Qin State, and the Qin State would not treat him well. Then, waiting for his ending, there is only one... Die. If he returns, and his father dies, he will inherit the throne.

The prince of Chu thought about it again, if he returned to Chu privately, the Qin State would use this as an excuse to attack the Chu State. Then, he is the sinner of the Chu State. Even if he returned to China, his father would depose him in order to appease the anger of the people.

Prince Chu wanted to return, but he didn't dare to return.

Huang Xie penetrated what the prince of Chu was thinking, and hurriedly said: "The prince is returning to the country, don't worry about the Qin State attacking the Chu State on this ground." When the prince returns to the country, he will not become a sinner, but a meritorious person in the Chu country. ”

The prince of Chu asked: "When my father returned to the country as a hostage, the Qin State didn't send troops to attack me. If I return, Qin Huachu, what should I do? ”

"The first king returned to Chu, and the Qin State cut it down. That's because Qin saw the alliance of Qi, Han, and Wei attacking Chu. Today, the current state of Chu is better with the princes. How dare the Qin State attack me. Huang Xie Zhengse said: "When the first king was in power, he was attacked by the Qin State, and the national capital was also broken. However, the first king made great efforts to govern the country, attacked Qin in the west, and recovered many lost territories. The current Qin State is at odds with the Three Jin Dynasty, so naturally they don't dare to make enemies with the Chu State. King Qin is a smart man, and he will not do anything that is not conducive to the Qin State. ”

The prince of Chu said worriedly: "I left Qin privately, and the Qin State sent people into Chu to ask my father what to do." ”

"Don't worry about that, the prince." Huang Xie said again: "The king entered Qin as a hostage and suffered a lot. The prince's mood can also be felt by the king. The prince returned to Chu, and Qin Guo asked for guilt, but he didn't put Chu State in his eyes. For the sake of national prestige, the king will not hand you over to the Qin State. For the sake of the Chu State and the king, your grandfather did not hesitate to go to war with the princes of the world. Your father is for the Chu State, for you, why should he be afraid of the Qin State. ”

The prince of Chu asked, "What if my father is afraid of the Qin State and hands me over." ”

Huang Xie sighed abruptly: "If the king really does this, it will make the subjects of Chu State feel cold and unable to sit on the throne. The king will also bear the infamy of the ages. Chu State, there is really no cure. ”

When Prince Chu heard this, he had an idea in his heart, and said sharply: "Okay." I would like to return home. ”

Huang Xie saw that the prince listened to his words, and said with relief: "This is very good. ”

Prince Chu said again: "Mr. will return to the country with me." ”

Huang Xie shook his head and said, "Prince, I can't go." ”

Prince Chu asked, "Why can't Mr. go?" ”

Huang Xie said: "I want to stay and buy time for the prince." ”

Prince Chu said anxiously: "King Qin found out that I was gone, and blamed you." The gentleman's situation is in jeopardy. ”

Huang Xie saw that Prince Chu was worried about his safety, and said with relief: "With the prince's words, I die, so what's the matter." ”

The Chu envoy also said, "Sir, it's better to leave the Qin State with us." ”

Prince Chu has been with Huang Xie for several years, and he also has a strong affection for him, and he is also dependent on him, so he can't bear to leave him behind, and also said: "Sir, let's go together." ”

"Prince, I can't go. The crown prince fled from Qin with the envoy, and I stayed behind to buy time for the prince. Huang Xie was determined and said: "If the crown prince returns to the country and the king of Qin wants to vent his hatred, then let me stay and bear this responsibility by dying." ”

Chu envoy saw that Huang Xie was a literati, but he had such a backbone. As if from Huang Xie's body, he saw Qu Yuan's arrogance, and arched his hand: "There are a few more men like Mr. Chu in the Chu State, why can't you revive the territory of the Chu State?" Why can't you be ashamed of Qin Xue? Why can't you point to the Central Plains and drink the Yellow River? ”

Huang Xie saluted and said, "The important task of the prince's return to the country is entrusted to you." ”

"Sir, sacrifice your life for righteousness. I risked my life to escort the prince back to China. ”

"Okay." Huang Xie said: "You Qu boys, you can say and do." With your words, I am relieved. ”

The Chu envoy asked, "Do you recognize me?" ”

"Qu Yuan is an iron-clad gentleman?" Huang Xie's eyes looked admiring, and he said: "Qu Jia inherited the blood courage and arrogance of the Qu family, don't I know you." ”

Prince Chu bowed down and said, "I can return to the country, all because of Mr. Please, sir, bow down to me. ”

Huang Xie hurriedly said: "This can't be helped. ”

"If I can return, I will inherit the throne. The Jiangshan Sheji of the Chu State must be governed together with Mr. Seeing that he would rather die for his own sake, the prince of Chu had a sour nose and said, "Sir, you must live, I am waiting for you in the country of Chu." ”

"Okay." Huang Xie felt the sincerity emanating from the prince's eyes, "I am willing to work with the prince to protect the country of Chu, so that the state of Chu can return to the hegemony of the ancestors and promote the princes." ”
