Chapter 21: Who Fights (1)

Wu Shixun and the three of them stood in the middle of the line on both sides in a daze, always feeling uncomfortable. He ventured into a chime in, "But, what about Princess Jingyin?" Still can't do it? ”

King Qingxiang rebuked angrily: "It's still your head." Roll, roll, get away. ”

Wu Shixun was bored with himself, and after listening to the roar of King Qingxiang, he hurriedly fled the hall.

Princess Jingyin was relieved and moved to Qu Yuan's side with light feet.

Qu Yuan took a step forward, cleared his throat and said: "Actually, the king also knows that when the old minister came to Qi to pick up the king to return to China, fortunately with General Zhuang's 300,000 troops as the backing, Qi did not dare to detain the king; More than a month ago, I was in trouble, and it was the king who agreed with the old minister to personally go out and go to the east to pick up Zhuang Ji back to the palace. The two of you returned to the palace and were all picked up by the old ministers. Now that the king has ascended the throne, it is completely correct to work hard to reproduce the scenery of Great Chu and first recover the city of Western Chu. Zhuang Ji is young and promising, upright, especially his patriotic dedication is worthy of admiration. The eastern land protected the land and kept half of the Chu State, so that our Chu State dared to compete with the strong Qin. Now, he personally visited the king, and he had no selfish thoughts. Then there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the east, as long as he leads 100,000 elite soldiers, the matter of resisting Qin and seizing the city will be secure. Also, although Zhuang Ji has experienced many misunderstandings, his loyalty to the king and to the great Chu can be seen by the sun and the moon. It is really difficult to find such a general who does not care about honor and disgrace, regardless of personal gains and losses, and is dedicated to the country. ”

King Qingxiang kept nodding his head as he listened.

Jin Shang thought to himself that if he didn't come forward to argue again, it was likely that the situation would get out of control, and the ministers would be one-sidedly inclined to Zhuang Ji.

He took advantage of Qu Yuan's pause, stepped forward, and said to the king: "King Mingjian." Qu Lao'er said better than he sang. Is Zhuang Ji really as he said, perfect, and the world is hard to find? The king should not forget that Zhuang Ji caused trouble, obviously to protect the eastern land, but secretly wanted to make independence, wanted to self-government, and became an independent kingdom, and destroyed the king's integrity with his own hands, making the world laugh at the king. What is the use of endangering the credibility of Da Chu in this way? With such an ambitious military leader, let him lead an army of 100,000 to the west, can the king rest assured? If he wins, maybe he will establish some independent kingdom, and the entire Chu State will be torn apart. King, you have to be cautious about Qu Lao'er's words. ”

"This official agrees with Dr. Jin's opinion." Ling Yin Zilan forcefully persuaded, "Brother Wang, do you think so, although Qu Yuan Lao'er is a member of the Chu royal family, he is always arrogant and looks down on Brother Wang. Now he spares no effort to recommend Zhuang Ji, but the two of them are a raccoon dog, embarrassed. If Brother Wang agrees to Zhuang Ji to go to Western Chu, he will inevitably rebel again, use Western Chu as a base, collude with Qin, go down the river, and go straight to Yingdu. At that point, what should we do? And Dongdi is the base of his uprising, and there are a large number of people who support him, and they will respond to every call when they learn that Zhuang Ji is independent. At that time, the east and west will be flanked, and the Yingdu will be encircled, and you, the king, will be finished-"

After hearing this, King Qingxiang was stunned on the throne, not knowing how to react.

Before King Qingxiang could react, Zhuang Ji knelt down in front of the Wang case and said: "The king is above, he is incompetent, I implore the king to find another master." He took his leave. Then, standing up, step by step back to the door of the hall.

Ding Huaiyue, who was waiting outside, stepped into the door and protected his master.

Zhuang Ji was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked, "You are alone, what about Xiaobu?" ”

He ...... He ......, "Ding Huaiyue didn't know how to answer.

Zhuang Ji asked curiously, "What's wrong with him?" Is it causing trouble again? ”

"Not really. General, don't ask, in a few days, Xiaobu will be back. Ding Huaiyue said nonchalantly.

Zhuang Ji, under the escort of Ding Huaiyue, kept retreating to the door of the hall.

When Princess Jingyin saw this, she made a grimace to King Qingxiang, waved goodbye, and deliberately covered Zhuang Ji from the king.

"Hey, hey, you can't go." King Qingxiang came back to his senses and said to Zhuang Ji, "General Zhuang Ji stayed, and the lonely king hasn't spoken yet, why are you playing with a child's temper?" Come, come back, come back. ”

Zhuang Ji stopped, but still hesitated.

Princess Jingyin saw that Brother Wang was reluctant to Zhuang Ji, and she had a bottom in her heart. She took Zhuang Ji's hand, went straight to the king's case, and then knelt down with Zhuang Ji.

Seeing this, Jin Shang couldn't help but accuse: "What kind of system does the king look like a princess?" Are they husband and wife bowing down to the king? ”

"Yes, I, who was a younger brother, saw this kind of ugly performance, and I was ashamed." Zilan deliberately looked at her brother Qingxiang Wang and added vinegar.

Princess Jingyin said angrily: "If you can't get used to it, get away." For the sake of the interests of the Chu State, for the sake of the talents of the Chu State not to be drowned by your spittle, I don't care about your gossip, a group of people who are full of food and nothing to do, ridicule this princess, it is extremely shameful. ”

"Bang bang bang." King Qingxiang couldn't help but applaud and said, "Good scolding, good scolding!" King Gu thought that the princess was acting like a hero of the country this time, a hundred times stronger than you ministers who can only tell right and wrong. General Zhuang, come, sit next to the lonely king, and if anyone makes irresponsible remarks, the lonely king promises not to listen to him again. ”

"Bang bang...... ......"Those ministers who had opinions about Jin Shang and Zilan couldn't help but applaud when they heard the king's words.

"Stop." Ling Yin Zilan walked to the middle and raised his hand to order, "Don't be too happy. Although Brother Wang spoke to Zhuang Ji, there were conditions for him to be the general of the Western Expedition. ”

"Huh?!" The ministers let out a chorus of surprise.

King Qingxiang looked at his younger brother's arrogant and unreasonable appearance, although he was angry, he still wanted to save some face for him, and said angrily: "Brother Zilan, if you have anything to say, tell it to your face." ”

Zilan was also not polite, and continued: "The king chose Zhuang Ji to lead the troops to Western Chu, and Zilan has no opinion. However, General Zhuang Ji should be given some conditions and restrictions. ”

Princess Jingyin took a step forward and said, "What bad idea is Junior Brother Zilan going to come up with?" Put away your set, yin and yang, we don't want to listen to your nonsense. ”

"Look how crazy Miss Princess is for Yixiao." Zilan smiled and said, "Zilan's words haven't been said yet, how do you know it's a bad idea?" ”

"Yes, listening to Zilan's words, there is nothing wrong." Jin Shang was unwilling to fail, and even more unwilling to be lonely, so he stepped up to fan the flames.

Princess Jingyin insisted: "Brother Wang, since you have chosen General Zhuang, you can't let those people who have nothing to do when they are full of food and support make fallacies again." ”

King Qingxiang said confidently: "What the little sister said is also true. However, the lonely king really wanted to hear what new tricks Brother Zilan had to play. ”

Jin Shang bowed his hand and said, "The king is wise." He turned to Zilan again and encouraged him, saying, "Ling Yin's idea must be very novel, and it must be beneficial to the king and the country." The old minister believes that the king will definitely adopt your whimsy. ”

Zhuang Ji, who had been silent, said to Zilan: "Ling Yin must have a lot of good ideas, but Ling Yin doesn't want to hear it, as long as the king Ling Ji goes to the soup and fights, he will not give up." ”

When Jin Shang heard this, he said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Did the king hear it?" Just now, the king still wanted to listen to Zilan's important opinions, so Zilan boldly spoke out his thoughts. But Zhuang Ji was too bold, and he openly fought against the king, and did not let Zilan speak. It can be seen from this that to what extent Zhuang Ji's arbitrariness has reached, he is really bold and does not take the king in his eyes. Therefore, the king should be cautious about Zhuang Ji's appointment as the general of the Western Expedition. ”

King Qingxiang said to Jin Shang: "Have you finished talking?" ”

Jin Shang seemed to be flattered and said: "Report to the king, the old minister has finished speaking, let Yin Zilan continue." ”

Zilan couldn't bear it anymore, cleared her throat and said, "What the younger brother just said is to match General Zhuang's western expedition with certain conditions, which means that another set of supervision mechanisms must be established. As for this supervision mechanism, Zilan considers that it is more appropriate for Wu Shixun to be in charge. ”

When Princess Jingyin heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "Zilan, what do you mean by this?" With what kind of supervision mechanism Wu Shixun should establish, it is better to tie up General Zhuang and ask him to fight with the Qin army. ”

"Haha...... The princess's sister spoke more and more humorously. Zilan said disapprehantly, "Wu Shixun, as the Yin of the ring column, has guarded the royal palace for many years, has rich experience in defending against the enemy and rejecting the enemy, and with him assisting General Zhuang, he will not worry about recapturing the city occupied by Qin." ”

King Qingxiang patted the Wang case: "Okay, Zilan has built a team for Zhuang Ji." King Gu thought that Wu Shixun was a qualified candidate, and if he really left, King Gu would be reluctant. ”

Zilan didn't expect that his bad idea would be adopted by the king so easily, and his smug expression was overflowing, he paused slightly, and said: "Brother Wang, Zilan still has a bold idea, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”

King Qingxiang was on the rise, raised his hand and said, "Oh, Zilan has an idea, why shouldn't she talk about it?" Say it quickly, and make the Lone King happy. ”

"Yes, Ling Yin is quick to think, talented, and the pillar of the Chu State. Your ideas, the king will be the magic weapon and give them adoption. Jin Shang echoed.

"This ...... This ......" Zilan looked at Princess Jingyin, stammering and speechless.

King Qingxiang urged: "Zilan, how are you grinding, like a girl." What's not to say? Speak up, Brother Wang is the master for you. ”

Zilan paused for a while and said, "Oh, forget it." Brother Wang, Zilan didn't want to go to the police with a sword. ”

The king was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Zilan saw that the king didn't understand what she meant, and explained: "Isn't it making trouble for yourself when you take the sword to find the police?" What's more, Zilan didn't want to embarrass Brother Wang. ”

Jin Shang said puzzled: "Ling Yin, this is not your style." It turns out that where is the quick-witted, talk-free, and straightforward Ling Yin Zilanjun? The old minister misses him so much. ”

Under Jin Shang's agitation, Zilan patted her forehead and said, "Okay, Zilan has the courage to go out today." It is said that General Zhuang Jizhuang went out to fight with Qiang Qin, and the palace of Chu should not be left behind, right? Zilan meant that Miss Jingyin was sent to follow Zhuang Ji on the expedition, which showed the majesty of Chu. After he said this, he subconsciously took a step back and inserted himself into the ranks of ministers to avoid a possible surprise attack by Princess Jingyin.
