Chapter 91: Patriarch of the Three Dynasties
The knife was on the king's neck, and no one dared to act rashly.
"The king, you heard from the old minister, although this person is just a small captive, he is also a prince, it is really easy for you to kill him, but has the king ever thought about how much trouble his death will bring to the Chu State?"
"What's the trouble with a little slave?"
King Chu Wen was under the human sword, so naturally he didn't dare to come hard.
The fist attached to the ear of King Wen of Chu and said: "Your great king, you think, you killed the captured princes in such a cruel way, there is no impermeable wall in the world, in case it reaches the ears of other princes, it is really difficult to make other princely states submit, they are very likely to unite in fear to jointly crusade against our Chu State, so that the road of Chu State to the north of the Central Plains will be even more difficult." ”
"Then according to your meaning, Bu Hub is just let it be humiliated in vain?"
"King, you blow him up now, although you can relieve the hatred in your heart for a while, but you have to weigh the pros and cons, that will only make the Chu State fall into a situation where the enemy is on all sides."
"And what do you say will do with him?" Although King Chu Wen was still indignant, he obviously listened to the words of the fist.
Fist judged the situation and whispered to King Wen of Chu: "According to the old minister's opinion, this person can't be killed, not only can't he be killed, but he should also be released and form an alliance with Cai Guo." He humiliated the king like this, and the king didn't care about him and let him go, which reflected the king's bearing; Second, he is also willing to form an alliance with my Great Chu, so that he can convince the other vassal states, wouldn't this kill three birds with one stone? ”
King Chu Wen thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't swallow the hatred in his heart, "Although what you said is indeed beneficial to the Chu State, but his matter today is really too annoying, you smell it, you smell it, you smell it, it still stinks so much, what do you say today, he Ji Xianwu will not escape death!" ”
Seeing that King Chu Wen was stubborn, he was so bitter that he didn't care about the overall situation, so he couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and there was no other way, so he gritted his teeth and increased the strength of the knife on King Chu Wen's neck.
He said angrily: "Since the king wants to be stubborn, the old minister would rather die with the king than see you lose your trust to the princes of the world!"
Seeing that the fist was not a joke, King Chu Wen was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly changed his words: "Listen to you, put the knife down!"
Then he turned to the guards and said, "Remove the oil pot and put him down." ”
Seeing that Ji Xianwu was rescued, he dropped his knife and knelt down and said: "Today's criminal ministers have the courage to admonish, and the king can listen to the minister's advice, which is the blessing of the Chu State, but the minister coerced the king, and the crime deserved to die, please surrender the king." ”
King Chu Wen knew that Mane Fist had always been straightforward, brave and strategic, so he rubbed his neck that was red by the knife and said: "Bu Hu understands that you are heartfelt for the country, all for the good of Da Chu and Bu Hu, today's matter, I don't blame you, get up!" ”
But the fist couldn't kneel for a long time, and said with words: "The king's pardon of Weichen is the king's generosity, but Weichen knows that his sins are unforgivable and must be punished to set an example, how dare he forgive himself?" ”
I saw that before his words fell, his hand raised his sword, and he slashed himself, and then shouted in pain: "Wait for it, this is the end of rudeness to the king!" Then he fainted in pain and fell in front of the Mingluan Temple.
The scene was shocking and moved everyone present.
"Hurry up and send General Fu to the Tai Hospital, so that the best Tai Doctor can do his best to treat him."
King Chu Wen looked at the blood of Yin Hong in that place, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, Wei Xian's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with concern: "The king has been tired for days, so he has to rest quickly." With that, he helped King Chu Wen into the sedan chair and sent him back to the Changle Palace, waiting to take a bath and change clothes.
King Chu Wen was so tired that he slept until the sun was about to turn west on the second day.
"How can you sleep for so long, Wei Xian, you didn't wake up sooner, Madame and Hail are looking forward to it!" King Chu Wen saw that the hour was not early, and blamed Wei Xian with a look of chagrin.
"The old slave can understand the king's eagerness to see his wife and the little prince, but you are too tired, and you really need to cultivate enough spirit to have the energy to love the government and the people."
Wei Xian helped King Chu Wen change his clothes and wash up, while muttering in his heart, only if the king rests more, the old slave will have the opportunity to sleep more, this Zhang Gao, and he can't see the shadow of a person, the old slave is sleepy!
"My lord, are you going to the Incense Pavilion to dine with your wife?"
King Chu Wen originally wanted to go directly to the Xiang Pavilion to accompany Xi Concubine for dinner, but after thinking that Zhang Gao's words had something to say that day, he decided to go to the city gate to find out in person.
"Let's go to the gate of the city first!"
Wei Xian, who didn't know why, couldn't understand why the king was going to the city gate at this time, wasn't he in a hurry to see his wife and prince? But as an old eunuch who had been promoted to the palace, he knew that he couldn't talk much at this time.
"No!"
As soon as King Chu Wen's sedan chair fell at the gate of the city, the guards guarding the city knelt down.
"Knock on the king, thank you for the compassion and care of the king and his wife for their subordinates!"
King Chu Wen was surprised, where does this compassion and care begin, he has not cared for his subordinates, and he slowly walked out of the sedan chair.
"What are you talking about?"
"Congratulations to the king on his first victory! As the people of Great Chu, it is a blessing for my Great Chu country and all the people of Great Chu to have a wise and brave ruler like you, and a virtuous and virtuous queen like my wife. ”
"Zhongli is just a small country, and if you don't win, don't mention it! But you say that the lady is virtuous and virtuous, how can you see it? ”
"Back to the king, the king doesn't know anything about the battlefield, Madame sees that the temperature has plummeted recently, she sympathizes with us guards on duty at the city gate, and asks General Ouyang to send a set of winter clothes for each of us to warm our hearts, just such a good person......"
The guard wet his eyes as he spoke, and before he could finish speaking, he heard Ouyang Jing suddenly interrupt: "With such a good king and queen, you must be more conscientious in the future, and serve the country, the big guy is gone!" The king is going to accompany the lady and the little prince. ”
It turned out that Ouyang Jing was happy to go to the imperial dining room to make soup for Concubine Xi, but after listening to Zhang Gao's words, he rushed back angrily to find Concubine Xi's fork, which was obviously Zhang Gao's eunuch who admonished him, so he sent someone to pay attention to King Chu Wen's movements, and heard that he was going to the city gate after waking up, so he knew that he was coming to deliver winter clothes, so he hurriedly followed.
King Chu Wen glanced at the guards at the city gate and asked in a deep voice, "By the way, what about that Ji Lin, why don't you see him on duty?" ”
"King Qiqi, Ji Lin, he died of a violent illness the night before yesterday due to long-term alcoholism, and seeing that he was only an insignificant person, he did not disturb the king's rest."
"Oh! He's dead? In this case, send someone to clean up his remains and send him back to Xiguo for burial, after all, he was also a marquis. King Chu Wen said lightly, and his heart suddenly laughed a lot for no reason.
"Obedience!"
King Chu Wen was just about to get on the sedan chair, and suddenly turned to Ouyang Jing and Wei Xian and said: "A little guard, if you die, you will die, it is not a big deal, block the news, Hugh has to reach the ears of Mrs., she is in an extraordinary period, don't affect the mood, if anyone leaks the slightest rumor, take you two is asking." ”
"Obedience!"
"The old slave obeys!"
Ouyang Jing asked his subordinates to summon all the guards, and said with a heavy heart:
"Wait a minute, Ji Lin died of a violent illness, Mrs. Peach Blossom just continued the national lineage for the Chu State, and she is the hero of our Great Chu, the king doesn't want Mrs. Peach Blossom to hear the news about Ji Lin's death, if anyone leaks the slightest rumor, don't blame me Ouyang for turning his face and not recognizing people."
"My subordinates understand!"
Ouyang Jing sent a few careful cronies to tidy up Ji Lin's remains, and personally put on the clothes made by Concubine Xi for Ji Lin, and suppressed his grief and said softly: "Xihou, you can return to your hometown with peace of mind! Madame is my life-saving benefactor, and I, Ouyang Jing, will do my best to protect my wife in this life! And gave him a ride.
