The next day, after the morning dynasty, the husband left Bo Yao behind to discuss the aftermath of the war, although the war was over, but there were still many things to deal with, such as the garrison after the expansion of the land, and the distribution of pensions for the dead and wounded soldiers, etc.

Fucha said while looking at the song: "This king plans to let Fan Li take over Gongsun Li's position, what do you think?" ”

Bo Yao was taken aback, although both of them called themselves generals, but Gongsun Li's position was one level higher than Fan Li's, and the meaning of the husband's words was clearly that he wanted to be promoted to Fan Li; If this continues, I am afraid that in less than a year and a half, I will be on an equal footing with him.

Bo Yao's mind flickered, and he bowed down and said: "General Fan has made a great contribution, and he deserves to be rewarded, but it's just ...... I just won the reward yesterday, and I will award it again today, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be convinced. ”

Fucha seemed to have expected him to say this, and said without raising his head: "Don't agree? ”

Bo Yao said with a smile: "The minister doesn't dare, but I just think that this matter can be delayed, as long as General Fan is sincerely loyal to the king, this position will be his sooner or later." ”

Fucha raised his head in the middle of the compromise, and smiled indifferently: "Dazai always speaks so comprehensively, which makes people very comfortable to listen to. ”

Bo Yao couldn't figure out what he meant, so he didn't dare to answer, but just laughed blindly.

After a moment of silence, the husband said: "This king looks at the folds you presented, this time in the war with the Qi State, our army was wounded 10,000 and more than 8,000 people died, right?" ”

"Exactly." Bo Yao was about to take advantage of the situation to slap a few sycophants, but the husband suddenly threw the song in his face, and said sharply: "At this time, you are still lying to this king, what a big boldness!" ”

Bo Yao was shocked by his sudden attack, and he couldn't care about the pain on his face, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted injustice, "Wronged, even if the minister has great courage, he doesn't dare to deceive the king!" ”

"Don't dare?" The husband laughed angrily, took another piece and threw it in front of Bo Yao, and said angrily: "See for yourself! ”

Bo Yao trembled and reached out to pick it up, and when he saw the contents, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and the real number of casualties was recorded in this recital, which was several times the number he reported, and in addition to the real victory and defeat of each battle, Fu Cha ...... How did Fucha have such a thing?

Fucha saw his thoughts and sneered: "It's strange why this king would know, right? You want to eliminate Wu Zixu's forces, but he has been in the army for so many years, and his forces are intertwined, which can you easily eliminate; Although this king doesn't like Wu Zixu, if it weren't for him this time, this king really didn't know that you were so bold! ”

It's Wu Zixu again, it's just a ghost!

Bo Yao hated to tear Wu Zixu alive, but the top priority was to calm down the anger of his husband, otherwise he really didn't know if he still had the life to go to Wu Zixu to settle accounts.

Thinking of this, Bo Yao hurriedly squeezed out two old tears, and cried loudly: "The minister should not deceive the king, the minister should die, but the minister is also forced to be helpless, the battle of Ailing, is the first time that the minister has full authority to lead the army, if the defeat and the number of casualties are truthfully reported, the king will remove the minister's commander." ”

"So you deceive the king as a matter of course?" The husband said angrily: "This king trusts you so much, but you play this king like a monkey, causing this king to almost become the laughing stock of the world." Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and sneered: "You are right, you really deserve death, go and receive the punishment yourself." ”

Where is Bo Yao willing to go, he crawled to the ground in front of the husband, hugged his leg and cried, "The minister knows his mistake, the minister really knows his mistake, beg the king to give the minister another chance to take the credit, the minister swears, from now on, he will never dare to deceive again." ”

"Get out of here!" The husband kicked him away in disgust, his chest heaving violently.

Bo Yao didn't dare to step forward again, and the old tears knelt there and kept kowtowing, "Woo Yao", but each time he slammed on the hard gold bricks, and after a while, he kowtowed all over his head with blood.

After knocking like this for more than a dozen times, the husband finally spoke, "Okay, don't kowtow." ”

Bo Yao stopped according to his words, but he didn't dare to speak, knelt there motionless, and said coldly: "You remember, there is no next time!" ”

Fucha didn't really want Bo Ya's life, after all, he still had to rely on Bo Ya to control the court situation, and all the things just now just gave Bo Ya a lesson, so that he wouldn't dare to deceive him in the future.

Bo Yao raised his blood-covered face and said gratefully: "Thank you for the king's grace not to kill, the guilty minister must remember it in his heart!" ”

The husband waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and wipe it, I don't know how I think this king has abused you." ”

Bo Yao hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe it, but the blood was sticky, anyway, the more he wiped, the more he wiped, Wang Shen saw this, and asked people to wring a wet handkerchief, which was considered to be clean.

"What did Wu Zixu do yesterday?" Hearing her husband's inquiry, Bo Yao hurriedly said: "From yesterday to now, Wu Zixu has never been out of the mansion, but ......."

The husband couldn't see this kind of spirit the most, and urged: "What are you doing, keep talking." ”

"Yes." Bo Yao responded, and said with a mysterious expression: "According to the spies sent back, someone entered and left the Prime Minister's Mansion last night. ”

Hearing this, the husband was a little disappointed, "So what? ”

Bo Yao smiled slightly, and said an earth-shattering sentence, "That's a Qi person!" ”

Fucha stood up from his throne in astonishment and stared at Bo Yao in disbelief, "What do you say, say it again!" ”

"The one who enters and exits the Prime Minister's Mansion is a Qi person." Bo Yao said word by word, very clearly.

The husband tried to calm down the stormy mood and sat down again: "How do you know? ”

"The spy fought with him, and tore off a piece of cloth from the man, the minister checked, it was a piece of fine arrowroot cloth, among the candidate countries, only the Qi country produces this kind of cloth, plus he visited the prime minister's mansion at night, and deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so the minister can conclude that he is a Qi person."

Fucha's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said, "Tell me, why did he enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"This ......" Bo Yao looked at the gloomy face of the husband and whispered: "The minister doesn't dare to say anything. ”

Fucha sneered: "Didn't you tell the story of Qi people just for the next words, why didn't you dare to say it at the end?" Speak! ”

Bo Yao was embarrassed for a while by him to see through his mind, and after not seeing him for a few months, this king seemed to be a little more shrewd, not as easy to fool as before.

He coughed to hide his embarrassment, bowed his head and said: "The minister is not Wu Xiang, he really doesn't dare to say anything, he can only speculate from this matter that Wu Xiang was snubbed by the king, and he seized the military power, and he was angry, so he colluded with the Qi people and wanted to do bad things!" ”

"He dares!" The husband slapped the handrail heavily, and the light and shadow shone through the thin window paper on the cold side of the husband, which was vaguely hideous.

Bo Yao looked at his expression and reminded: "The king and gentleman are frank, how do you know that the villain is heartfelt, forgive the minister, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”

Hearing this, the husband turned his gaze and landed on Bo Yao's face, and he didn't speak, just looked, and the Taiji Hall, which had just been full of people, was so quiet that even a needle falling on the ground could be clearly heard.

Bo Yao was oppressed by this invisible coercion and fidgeted, and his heart beat violently in his chest, as if it would burst out of his throat at any moment.

For a long time, he really couldn't stand this kind of coercion, and forced out a smile, "Why does the king look at the minister like this, but what did the minister say wrong?" ”

"Do you really want Wu Zixu to die?" The husband asked lightly, as if asking what the weather was like today, rather than the life and death of a veteran of the two dynasties.

Bo Yao was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The minister will never dare!" ”

"Don't dare?" Fucha played with these two words, and after a while, he stretched out his sleeves and got up, strode out, and when he reached the door, he didn't see Bo Yao coming up, so he stopped and turned his head sideways and said, "Don't you want to know if Wu Zixu has collaborated with the enemy and treason, and he hasn't followed." ”

"Yes." Bo Yao hurriedly followed, and the husband walked very quickly, and after a while he arrived at the stable, where Gou Jian was cleaning the horse manure, and when he saw them coming, he quickly bowed his head and retreated to the side.

Gou Jian was originally imprisoned in the courtyard, grinding rice, doing the heaviest errands, miserable, Yiguang once went to see him on Chinese New Year's Eve, although Gou Jian did not say anything, but Yiguang has been difficult to let go in his heart, so he found an opportunity to make a statement to her husband, who looked at her face, made an exception and arranged for Gou Jian to come to this stable to clean, although this place is accompanied by horse manure all day long, but compared with the court, it is much better.

After asking the little servant to find a horse for Bo Ya, the husband stepped on his own royal horse gale, rode his horse and galloped outside the palace, Bo Yao followed, and with a familiar mansion appeared in sight, Bo Ya finally confirmed the guess in his heart - Xiangguo Mansion.

"Phew!" The husband turned over and jumped off the horse, and Bo Ya quickly took the horse rope and tied the horse to the stone lion on the side.

The guard at the door was very angry when he saw someone openly tying his horse at the door, which was obviously not looking at the prime minister's house, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he suddenly saw the husband, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "See the king." As he spoke, he said, "The villain will go in and tell his father." ”

Fucha's expression moved, and he said coldly: "No need. As he spoke, he strode over and led Bo Yao to the house, leaving behind the anxious guards.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard, he heard Wu Zixu's angry voice, "Bastard, even you dare to bury the old man, don't you?" ”

With these words, a crying female voice sounded, "How dare the concubine have a trace of disrespect for Lord Xiangguo, I really see that the adult is depressed all day long, and he always drinks alcohol, and he is afraid that the adult will hurt his body, so he wants to find some new tricks, so that the adult can be happy." ”

"Your so-called fresh tricks are to let the old man go to bird and cockfight, it's ridiculous!" Wu Zixu pointed to the two women who were kneeling on the ground and crying with pear blossoms and rain, and scolded angrily: "Let me tell you, the old man's hands are used to lead the troops to fight, not to carry the bird cage and take away the chicken!" With these words, Wu Zixu kicked over the birdcage that was resting aside, and frightened a few canaries in it flapping their wings desperately and dropping several feathers.

A woman in pink on the left said timidly: "But the king has already handed over the military power to Dazai-sama and General Fan, so don't think about it anymore, lest it ...... ended up with the same fate as General Nagongsun. ”

This sentence hit the most painful place in Wu Zixu's heart, which made him jump like thunder, "Bo Yao is a virtuous and incompetent villain, relying on the kung fu of slapping the beard and slipping the horse to please the king; As for that Fan Li, he is a thief with ill intentions, first deceived the old man, and now deceived the king; If this continues, the Kingdom of Wu will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later! Speaking of this, he said bitterly: "The king is confused! ”
