Chapter 84: Think Twice
From the king of Chu's expedition, the entire palace was deserted, especially the Ruoying Palace in the west, even if he ate, he didn't hear Zhongle. The whole palace is silent, only the autumn wind blows through the high hall, and the yellow leaves fall on the pavilion, there is a little bit of somber sound. However, at noon on this day, Zhuyin sounded in Ruoying Palace, and a gentle female voice was singing "Chutz" with Zhuyin:
"Chu Chu Ci, his words are thorny. Since the past, I have been a good artist. I'm with that, I'm winged.
I have a profit, and I am billion. Think of wine and food, in order to enjoy worship. To take it right, to introduce King Fook ......"
It's September, and the autumn harvest is imminent, and "Chutz" is a harvest song. From clearing the fields of dense turbulence and thorns, planting millet grass, to the neat and lush seedlings of millet seedlings, to the grain piled up in the granary during the harvest, and finally making wine for food and sacrificing ancestors, it is all about the joy of the farmer's harvest. But unlike the maiden of the Chu Palace, the singing voice has some Zhao sound, and the tune of the building is also the flavor of Yan Zhao.
"When the child visits the queen mother, is the queen mother safe?" In Zhuyin, Xiong Jing came to greet Concubine Zhao, and he saw that his sister Mi Xuan was also there, and he was listening to the female singer playing a low song with Concubine Zhao.
"How is this? Isn't Mother fasting? After asking Concubine Zhao, Xiong Jing squeezed to Mi Xuan's seat. Although men and women are not seated according to the ceremony, Chu is different from China, and the custom of men and women sitting at the same table is still retained.
"Queen Mother, I invited Zhao Guolingren Qianyue from outside the palace......" The song was still singing, and Mi Xuan said it very quietly. After the king of Chu left the palace, while his mother was fasting, she was unwilling to be lonely and ran out of the palace again.
"Zhao Guoling?" Zhao Guoling is famous in all countries, Xiong Jing couldn't help but glance at the bullet building of the Qianyue, she is indeed a beauty.
"It's Qiyue, she is famous for building a women's market. It's a pity that he got a lung disease and was ransomed by a son surnamed Fei, "Mi Xuan attached to Xiong Jing's ear, and Xiong Jing's ear was itchy. "I gave her my father's medicine......"
Heart disease is hereditary, aspirin is a panacea, and Yi Yin has prepared one for everyone in the royal family. Mi Xuan didn't think much about who Xiong Jing gave the medicine to, all he was thinking about in the past few days was the dispatch of troops by Zhao State. The Qin army occupied Yiyi without surprise, and at this time it was facing the Chu army in the reinforcement. But the state of Chu can increase its troops, and the state of Qin can also increase its troops. The population under the rule of Qin is at least three times that of Chu, and if there is really a Changping-style Armageddon, Chu will definitely be finished.
Xiong Jing was thinking about the front-line war and whether Zhao Guo could send troops, but she didn't notice that after the song ended, Qian Yue bowed to him, smiled and withdrew from the atrium - there were many rumors about Xiong Jing outside, and she had heard a lot, and she was very happy to see it today. It's just that as soon as she got home, the first thing Concubine Jing, who had been waiting for a long time, said that she should not go to the palace in the future.
"Childe, why can't you go to the palace again? Princess Xuan has the grace of giving medicine to Yue'er, and Yue'er is about to ...... "Qianyue's lung disease seems to be showing signs of improvement, of course she doesn't know that the magic medicine of Chu Palace is actually willow bark juice that is not worth a few dollars, and her heart is full of gratitude.
"Hey!" Looking at the beauty in her arms, Concubine Jing stroked her face, wanted to say something, and finally sighed again: "Don't ask more, there will be wars in the country, and there will be many incidents in the palace, I am afraid that you are in danger." ”
"You," the man said absent-mindedly, and there was something in his words, and Qian Yue would be wrong, she smiled and said, "The king is not here, and the eldest son is young, why are you worried that I will be ...... by them?"
"Oops!" Reluctant to pat the beauty in his arms, Fei Jing had to pat his head hard, he said: "No matter how I am, I am also the master of Yingdu, although I have gone to work, but in the past, I treated my subordinates well, and the soldiers guarding the city still recognized me as an official." I have heard that there may be a major event in Yingdu recently, and you must not go to the palace again during this time. ”
Fu Jing's tone was serious, and Qian Yue lost her smile, and asked with concern: "What's the big deal in Yingdu?" ”
"I don't know." Fu Jing retracted her gaze, then looked at the fallen leaves rolled by the autumn wind outside the hall, and emphasized: "Anyway, it's a big deal." ”
*
The same autumn wind also swept up the fallen leaves of Handan, the capital of Zhao State, and unlike Chu State, the autumn of Zhao State came earlier and more intensely, as if the autumn wind blew, and the leaves of the whole city were yellow. When the door is opened in the morning, the yard, the roof, and the street are full of yellow leaves, and the autumn wind blows, and only a few autumn cicadas are hissing low on the trees.
"Teacher, the king has met with the envoys of the Chu State." At noon, the crown sat upright, and a sheep was cooked in the copper tripod.
"What does King Zhao say?" Ku Guanzi's expression remained unchanged, it had been nearly ten days since he came to Zhao State, and he had already understood the attitude of Zhao Guo's monarchs and ministers.
"King......" Pang Nuan smiled bitterly. The king did not say anything about sending troops, nor did he say anything about sending troops. ”
"Oh." Yu Guanzi smiled, he finally saw some hope in King Zhao's attitude. "When will I meet King Zhao?"
"Tomorrow." Pang Nuan finally said good news, but he didn't think it was good news. "Teacher, the king has just met the envoys of the Chu State, and I will see you again tomorrow. In just one day, I am afraid that I can't ......"
"The Qin people are fighting Chu, and the Zhao people are playing the crown, why?" The crown smiled undiminishedly, asking and answering himself. "Profiteer's also. Since it is for profit, it can be moved by profit. If you don't save Chu, it's a benefit, and if you save Chu, it's also a benefit. ”
For Yu Guanzi, being able to meet King Zhao is the key. As long as you see King Zhao, you can listen to what you think in your chest. With such self-confidence, the next day in the early dynasty of Zhao State, under the gaze of hundreds of courtiers, the crown of Zhao met Zhao Yan, the king of Zhao.
Zhao Yan was the son of King Zhao Xiaocheng in the Battle of Changping, and King Zhao Xiaocheng was the grandson of King Wuling of Zhao in Hufu. A generation of male masters, Ze and three generations, to Zhao Yan is already the fourth generation. Zhao Yan's ascension to the throne is somewhat 'coincidental' - Zhao Xiaocheng became the king for ten years, the prince died, and the Marquis of Chunping was renamed the prince and Xiangbang; In the eighteenth year, the Marquis of Ping entered Qin, and was not allowed to return, and three years later, after the death of King Zhao Xiaocheng, Zhao Yan ascended the throne.
The virtuous ministers and good generals during the period of King Wuling of Zhao are completely absent today, and the long-lived Lian Po is in the Chu State. Entering the room, among the courtiers on both sides, the crown walked very slowly, and when the ministers looked at him, he was also looking at the ministers.
"Mr. Kuguan is a Zhao person, but he has lived in Chu for a long time, and he will not return if he is outnumbered." Zhao Yan spoke, his face was gloomy and his breath was insufficient. "Why do you see a widow today?"
Pang Nuan is Zhao General, Zhao Yan has asked for a few crowns, and today Yu Zhengchao said about this matter, and the meaning is self-evident. He had already thought of the answer, and he pretended to be old and said: "I tell the king: I am old, I can't be a general, although the king counts clearly, he feels that he doesn't dare to live in the position, and he doesn't dare to accept it." Today's visit to the king is just a few words. ”
The crown of the old man betrayed the old, and even remembered his identity as the prince of Chu State, Zhao Yan could only smile and said, "Sir, please speak." ”
"I entered Zhao from the Wei State, and I heard people say on the road that there are people who plough the fields of the Song Dynasty, and there are plants in their fields, and the rabbits touch the plants, and they break their necks and die. The Song people got the rabbit and returned, and they were overjoyed, so they stopped farming, and waited for the rabbit in the field every day. Dare to ask the king: Is the behavior of the Song people good? He began with a story, and after speaking, he asked Zhao Yan, and his eyes looked at him rudely.
"The actions of the Song people are naturally not good." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "How does Mr. want to teach the widow." ”
"I don't dare to preach, I only heard that the Qin people attacked Chu, and the Zhao people played the crown and celebrated, so I thought of the Song people who waited for the rabbit." The crown sighed, "Zhao Qin, the sworn enemy; Zhao Chu, siblings also. Qin did not attack Zhao and attacked Chu, and Zhao enjoyed his success and celebrated, and it was unrighteous.
Not only is it unrighteous, but it is also unprofitable. Zhao Renzhiqing, what is the difference between it and the Rabbit Song people? Qin's attack on Zhao is endless, the realm of the former Zhao Kingdom, in the west of Shaoyang Mountain and the south of Huqi Mountain; The land of today's Zhao State is only in the east of Taihang. Why? Qin's strategy, distant and close attack, but the three Jin branches, with Zhao Duqiang, so Qin attacked Han Wei, Zhao rescued, if you want to get Han Wei, you must first die Zhao, this Qin Zhao has been fighting Zhao for a hundred years.
Chu State is located in Nanxiang, although it borders with Qin State, but there is the danger of three passes in the west, and there is the screen of Han and Wei in the north. Today's attack, called Proton, is actually a conspiratorial enmity. No matter how much the city is pulled out and the number of beheadings, the Qin army will definitely withdraw from the state of Chu and still attack the state of Zhao. If the Zhao State is not destroyed, how can Han Wei get it? Han Wei can't do it, how can he destroy Chu for a day?
The celebration of the Zhao people is really the joy of the Song people to get the rabbit, but they don't know that the Qin widow has cut down Chu and cut down Zhao for a long time, just like the rabbit has less touch and more cover. Because of a day to get a rabbit and abandon its plow, it is the foolishness of the Song people, because of a time not to be cut down and abandon its alliance, this is the foolishness of the Zhao people. Zhao Ren did not save Chu today and celebrated, dare to ask him who saved him when Qin attacked Zhao? Speaking of which, there is nothing else to say, and he should retire. ”
If you bow again, you will turn back. What he said was not unreasonable, but Zhao Yan only looked at Guo Kai, the favored minister on the left, and waited for Guo Kai to look at him before he said, "Please stay, sir." The widow is not unwilling to save Chu, but it is actually a large army traveling, and all things cannot be decided in one day. ”
"Oh." The crown turned around and asked, "The king has ordered General Pang to send troops?" ”
"Widow ......" Zhao Yan was speechless, but fortunately, Xiangbang Jianxinjun interjected at the right time: "Hearing Mr. Wen's words, I have gained a lot." Dare to ask Mr., Mr. Zhao or Chu in this behavior? ”
Zhao Xiaocheng was the prince of Xiangbang when he was the prince of Chunping, and Qin did not return, and Zhao Yan was released in the second year of his reign, he was no longer the prince, not even Xiangbang, and the one who served Xiangbang was Jianxinjun who served the monarch in Israel. Looking at this beautiful concubine Zhao Guoxiangbang, Yu Guanzi said: "The only person in the world who can reject Qin is Zhao Chu." Qin attacked Zhao, I said Chu saved Zhao; Qin attacked Chu, I said Zhao saved Chu. What does Xiangbang mean for Zhao or Chu? ”
"How can Mr. Ran assert that Qin will fight Zhao and not Chu?" Another dissenting voice. "Zhao Shu is subject to Qin's attack, and he can't breathe, if Mr. comes for Zhao, he should Qing Qin people go south and not return north."
"Qin Guo and Zhao Chu can't be saved?" The crown asked rhetorically. "For Zhao, since he should make the Qin State attack Chu, Zhao has to breathe. However, the king of Chu has a deep heart disease, if he is sick, although the state of Chu will not destroy the country, who in the court will dare to say anything to save Zhao in the future? ”
"The king of Chu has a heart attack... Will the sage? After the crown finished speaking, everyone was shocked, and hundreds of people in the court buzzed.
"Yes, yes." Crowned Son. "The Qin people are attacking Chu because of this. If Zhao Guo does not save it, Chu State will not save Zhao in the future, please think twice. ”
