There is a reason why Zhuang Ji, who was bound, was pushed over by two guards who were holding up to block the sword.

These two guards, one named Wu Shixun who was holding Zhuang Ji's left arm, was a celebrity recommended by Jin Shang to the king's side; The one on the right is named Tian Shifei, who was personally arranged by Zilan to serve the king.

The task given to them by Jin Shang and Zilan was to ask them to find an opportunity to send Zhuang Ji to the point of no return.

The palace is changing, and Princess Jingyin provides them with an excellent opportunity. At the moment when the princess's sword stabbed at Jin Shang, Wu Shi, who was extremely agile, quickly pushed Zhuang Ji up horizontally and took the princess's sword for Jin Shang.

Zhuang Ji took the sword, looked at Princess Jingyin, pointed at the princess with his finger and said with difficulty: "You...... You ......" Before he finished speaking, his body sank weakly.

Tian Shifei and Wu Shixun held Zhuang Ji hard to prevent him from falling.

The princess was stunned for a moment, then pounced, and Zhuang Ji's body was bleeding all over the ground.

King Qingxiang pointed to the bloody ground and said, "Quick, call the imperial doctor." ”

Jin Shang was shocked and said, "King, you won't kill him?" He deserved to eat the princess's sword. ”

Princess Jingyin let go of Zhuang Ji, stood up and stepped in front of Jin Shang, shook off her right palm and slapped him twice: "You treacherous villain, kill General Zhuang, you control Dongdi, right?" Dream your dreams. She turned around and reprimanded the ministers in the queue and said, "Why don't you quickly carry General Zhuang to the palace hospital for rescue, and they all hold up a dry corpse to see the joke?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they rushed to grab Zhuang Ji. But the two guards held him to the death. Although Qu Yuan was a handful of old beards, he used all his strength to pull the two guards away and said, "If you don't want to let go, you can personally carry the general to the hospital." ”

Wu Shixun and Tian Shifei were dragged away by the ministers, and several ministers with good physical strength rushed to the hospital with Zhuang Ji's body.

A morning meeting ended unhappily and fruitlessly.

Jin Shang was a little unconvinced, and stepped forward and said, "King, just let Zhuang Ji go?" ”

King Qingxiang made a gesture to let him go out and said, "Are you bothered?" Go, go, the lonely king wants to be quiet for a while. ”

Jin Shang retreated boringly.

Zilan hurriedly ran to King Qingxiang and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, I have already asked the guards to surround the inside and outside of the hospital, and it is difficult for Zhuang Ji to fly even if he has wings." ”

"Villain, you are all villains." After Princess Jingyin heard this, she accused her other brother Zilan and said.

Zilan defended: "Hey, princess sister, who do you say is the villain?" We are all people who assist Brother Wang to do great things, and those who do big things are great men, and that Zhuang Ji led the Dongdi soldiers to raise the flag to rebel, he is the villain, and the villain deserves to die. ”

"Damn it, it's you, it's Jin Shang." Princess Jingyin didn't let anyone do it, and accused Zilan fiercely in front of King Qingxiang.

King Qingxiang was annoyed at this time, he lightly smacked the king's case and said, "Okay, don't make trouble." Get down to business. Although the Lone King is playful and likes to look at beautiful women, you haven't found that the Lone King still has advantages, think about it, when did the Lone King kill innocents? ”

When Princess Jingyin heard this, she nodded and responded: "What Brother Wang said is very true, you are a lustful monarch, but not a tyrant. ”

"That's right. However, compared to other kings, the Lone King is not the most colorful. King Qingxiang argued.

Princess Jingyin mocked: "There is only more color, not the most colored." This is the characteristic of the kings. ”

"Pay attention to what the princess says, this is the royal brother. We must respect Brother Wang, maintain his dignity, and not ridicule him indiscriminately. Zilan paused for a while and said, "Go, I still have important matters to discuss with Brother Wang, and the female streamers should avoid it." ”

King Qingxiang said in astonishment: "What's the matter with Zilan? Can't Sister Jingyin listen? ”

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often related. The Book of Songs is true. Brother Zilan is really a villain, so he often has to guard against this princess. Phew, you asked me to listen, and I didn't bother to listen. After Princess Jingyin finished speaking, she was about to leave, but she stopped and said, "Brother Wang, pay attention, General Zhuang's assassination was not intentional by this princess, but the one who pushed General Zhuang to take the sword for Jin Shang will not be able to escape the responsibility this time." If Brother Wang still shields them, this princess will take action herself. ”

"Smack, smack, smack." At the same time as the applause rang out, Qu Yuan appeared and said, "I shouldn't have disturbed the king at this time, but it was a matter of ruining the country's reputation, and the old minister had to come to see the king in person." ”

King Qingxiang was a little unhappy, but he had nothing to do with this family member and his ancestors, so he said casually: "What's the matter with you?" If you have something, just say it, don't scare the lonely king with anything related to the country's reputation. ”

Qu Yuan analyzed: "This matter is not to scare the king, it is really about the reputation of the country." Do you know the king? The story of Zhuang Ji's assassination spread in Yingdu, and they were all uneven for Zhuang Ji. If this matter spreads to the east, will there be a day of peace in my Chu City? ”

Princess Jingyin said eagerly: "Don't worry, Doctor Qu. General Zhuang's injuries were caused by this princess, and this princess must heal his injuries and return a healthy general to Dongdi. When she had said this, she hurried out of the palace.

When King Qingxiang heard Qu Yuan's analysis, he immediately felt the seriousness of the situation and asked: "According to Langzhong's opinion, what should King Gu do to calm down the residents' discussions and save the reputation of the country?" ”

"There is a way, I don't know if the king is willing to do it." Qu Yuan deliberately said something lightly.

King Qingxiang became anxious instead, and asked after him: "Tell me quickly, what can I do?" As long as it is beneficial to the Chu State, no matter how difficult it is, the Lone King is willing to do it. ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he smiled knowingly, happy that the king in front of him still had a trace of the country's feelings in his heart. He stroked his beard and said slowly, "Is the king considering visiting Zhuang Ji in the hospital?" First, Zhuang Ji's injury was caused by an accident by the princess and was related to the royal family; Second, Zhuang Ji came to see the king on behalf of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and thousands of people in the east. If the king visits Zhuang Ji in the hospital, this news will reach the east, and it will definitely be able to gather public opinion, revive the morale of the Chu state, and resist the invasion of Qin. ”

"But this ......," King Xiang said in embarrassment, but he couldn't say it.

"What is this?" Qu Yuan saw through King Qingxiang's thoughts, and continued, "The king is afraid that Jin Shang and Zilan will oppose it." The king can be measured, is Jin Shang's opinion important, or is the country's honor and disgrace and gathering the people's hearts important? If you blindly let Jin Shang go, regardless of the country's reputation, Chu will be finished. Princess Jingyin is a woman, for the sake of the king's interests, she dares to go toe-to-toe with Jin Shang and Zilan, are you still afraid of them, the king? It's not even as good as Princess Jingyin? ”
