Chapter 347: Chu has no arrogance, how can he be ashamed of Qin Xue
Qu Yuan took the initiative to ask for battle, cut down Qin Xue's shame, and welcomed back the first king. The king of Chu refused to send troops, which made him sad and indignant. Thinking that the king of Chu did not think about the national shame, he begged for peace. The more Qu Yuan thought about it, the more angry he became.
It is often said that the king of Chu did not want to attack Qin and welcomed back the first king. Qu Yuan didn't believe that the new king he was setting up was a ruthless and unrighteous person, he preferred to believe that it was Zilan and others who deceived the king and misled the country. With the advice of him and his ministers, the king of Chu will definitely adopt their opinions, attack Qin Xuesha, and regain the old mountains and rivers of Chu.
Qu Yuan entered the palace with a sword, and his words were fierce, which completely angered the king of Chu. Wang Heng of Chu finally made up his mind to set up Zilan as Ling Yin and expel Qu Yuan. Zilan already resented Qu Yuan and the others. The king of Chu made him Ling Yin, let him have great power, and just excluded dissidents.
The next day, it was dark. Zilan came to the palace early and asked King An Chu.
Although Zilan knew that Brother Wang hated Qu Yuan, she even moved to kill. Zilan tried her best to provoke the contradiction between Qu Yuan and Brother Wang.
Chu Wang Heng frowned tightly at first and was silent. After half a ring, Chu Wang Heng asked, "What can you do?" ”
"Although the Qu clan, the Zhao clan, and the Jing clan have declined, they still have a strong influence in the Chu State." Zilan said in a cold tone: "The king doesn't need Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan is resentful and unwilling to contribute to the country. Qu Yuan united with other forces to depose Brother Wang and set up a new king. How Brother Wang responded. ”
King Chu frowned, and said coldly, "What are you going to do." ”
Zilan said with a murderous look on her face: "Kill." ”
"No." The king of Chu thought about Qu Yuan's merits, and couldn't bear to kill him, "Qu Yuan has contributed to the Chu country, and there are few meritorious people." If a widow kills him, he will be infamous for killing loyal ministers. ”
"The king didn't kill Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan was resentful. Qu Yuan is against Brother Wang, how does Brother Wang deal with it. Zilan said again: "Qu Yuan advocated joining forces to attack Qin and instigating his subjects to fight Qin and Xue shame. We killed Qu Yuan, which was also a condition for negotiating peace with the Qin State. ”
"Needless to say." The king of Chu turned sideways and turned his back to Zilan, "The widow has a negative Qu Yuan, how can he kill him again." ”
Zilan is a smart person, and seeing that Brother Wang didn't kill Qu Yuan, there was nothing she could do, so she had to resign.
The king of Chu had breakfast, entered the main hall, and said to the ministers: "The country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a decree for a day. Zilan is virtuous and virtuous, and she is the widow's brother. The widow decided to set up Zilan as Ling Yin. ”
As soon as the words of the King of Chu fell, except for a few people such as Jin Shang and Shangguan Dafu. Most of the ministers were agitated and spoke out against it. Although the courtiers were dissatisfied, they could not change the mind of Chu Wangheng. The king of Chu pretended to look sleepy and got up to leave the main hall. And leave the rest of the matter to Zilan to dispose of.
Zilan approached Qu Yuan's side and asked arrogantly, "Qu Yuan, have you ever regretted offending me?" ”
"Hahaha." Qu Yuan said disdainfully: "A concubine is a concubine." How can I be with you? ”
Zilan snorted coldly and said sarcastically in his ear: "You support him as the king, what is the result." Qu Yuan, isn't it sad? ”
"Now you are in power, and the king favors you. The princes are jealous of you. Why am I afraid of you? Qu Yuan said calmly: "If you want to kill me, just do it." ”
Zilan served as the commander of the state of Chu, and although the ministers were dissatisfied, they did not dare to offend him publicly. When Qu Yuan saw it, he would also bow his head proudly. How do you know, Qu Yuan has never looked at him squarely. Seeing that the other party was not convinced, Zilan threatened: "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?" ”
Qu Yuan didn't look at him, talked and laughed, and replied generously: "Do it!" ”
Seeing such a passionate and heroic spirit, Zilan couldn't help but feel empty, Gentleman, how could he lower his arrogant head, "The king is benevolent, thinking of your contribution to the Chu State, I can't bear to kill you." The king had an order to belittle the original Chu Yingdu and send it to Jiangnan. He will not be allowed to set foot in Yingdu for the rest of his life. ”
When the ministers heard this, the crowd was furious.
"Zuo Situ is dedicated to the country and has never made mistakes, how can he be demoted from Yingdu and assigned to Jiangnan."
"Where is the reason!"
"The king treats the heroes so poorly, how can he convince the people of the world."
"Shut up." Zilan shouted: "Qu Yuan doesn't know Jun En, and he is proud of his achievements. Last night, the sword broke into the palace and forced the king to go to war with Qin. Fighting with a sword to coerce the king to attack Qin is a great crime of rebellion and should be beheaded. The king remembered Qu Yuan's merits and couldn't bear to kill him. There are also those who intercede for Qu Yuan, who are guilty of the same crime. ”
Seeing that the situation in the palace had stabilized, Doctor Shangguan asked, "Qu Yuan, do you recognize it?" ”
Several more ministers scolded: "Zuo Situ, how can you use your sword to coerce the king." ”
"The state of Chu will eventually be destroyed at the hands of the concubine!" Qu Yuan didn't explain the reason, and shouted compassionately: "Chu State, what can I do to save you." ”
"Someone." Zilan saw that someone was touched by Qu Yuan's expression, and the situation was a little out of control, "Immediately demote Qu Yuan from Yingdu and send him to Jiangnan." ”
Several loyal ministers said in unison: "Zuo Situ is for the country and the people, how can he end up like this." ”
A few more people stood up to speak for Qu Yuan, condemning the king of Chu for being mediocre, appointing traitors, and not listening to advice.
Zilan shouted angrily: "You can't rebel if you want to. Whoever comes, take down the troublemaker for me. ”
A large group of men in armor ran in.
"Stop." Qu Yuan stopped: "The king sent me to Jiangnan, and Qu Yuan received the order. How can it harm others? ”
Seeing Qu Yuan confess, Zilan said proudly: "Come and expel Qu Yuan from Yingdu." ”
"No need, I'll go by myself." Qu Yuan's voice was not loud, and somehow, he had his own majesty. The man in armor was suppressed and did not dare to come forward. As soon as Zilan was about to speak, she was pushed back by Qu Yuan's angry eyes. Qu Yuan glanced at the throne, prostrate himself, and burst into tears. He didn't cry for himself, he was for the fate of the Chu State. At this moment, his god was broken, his heart was dead, and his heart was desolate.
Seeing this, the ministers sighed.
Wang Shang and Zilan and others treated the heroes so poorly, their hearts were clearly revealed. Obviously, the king of Chu opposed the destruction of Qin Xue shame and welcomed back the first king. The king of Chu even dared to give up his father, and Qu Yuan was nothing. Although the ministers sympathized with Qu Yuan's plight, they did not dare to offend the King of Chu, Zilan and others, so they could only bow down and send Qu Yuan away.
The news that Qu Yuan was demoted from Yingdu spread widely. The people in the streets and alleys of Yingdu came to see them off.
If it weren't for Zhao Ju, Qu Yuan and others, they would turn the tide and stabilize the country. Yingdu must be a sea of fire, after the blood flows. The people are grateful to Qu Yuan and others for their actions for the country, and they are also upset for Qu Yuan. Paused to cry, grief continued.
Qu Yuan was expelled from Yingdu and sent to Jiangnan and other wilderness places, living a long life of wandering and sorrow. Throughout his life, he never returned to Yingdu. Twenty years later, the Qin general broke the capital of Ying, and the tomb of the king of Chu was trampled. In order to arouse the heart of the Chu people to fight for the country, Qu Yuan jumped the Miluo River through the ages and praised it for future generations. Qu Yuan's spirit was inherited by Song Yu and Huang Xie, and the state of Chu also had a brief revival. Fifty years after Qu Yuan's death, Chu died in Qin.
……
Since the old king of Chu was imprisoned in Xianyang. In the state of Chu, it is divided into two factions: the main battle and the main peace. Among them, Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan and others fought hard-line battles and overwhelmed the main peace. However, the king of Qin sent troops to attack Qin with 'there are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country'. Qin and Chu went to war, Qin won and Chu was defeated. The Qin State not only beheaded tens of thousands of Chu and occupied fifteen cities, but the Chu general Zhaoju was killed in battle. The fiasco of the Chu State also exacerbated the turmoil of the Chu Dynasty. The main fighters were severely suppressed. Especially Qu Yuan and others, they were also sent to Jiangnan by the King of Chu.
The lord of Chu and the faction raised his head again.
When King Qin heard these news, he was ecstatic and sighed: "Chu is not dead, and heaven is intolerable!" ”
The Qin ministers all sang the praises of the virtuous ability of the king of Qin. King Qin was overjoyed and came to Zhangtai Palace. He wanted to tell the old Chu king these news, and he really wanted to see what kind of expression the old Chu king had when he heard these news.
The door of Zhangtai Palace was opened, and the old king of Chu saw that the person who came was the king of Qin, and said softly: "The widow has nothing to say to you, you go!" The widow doesn't want to see you. ”
King Qin walked in and said in a cold voice, "You don't want to see the widow. but the widow wants to see you. ”
King Chu snorted coldly and said, "You don't want to see the widow. You want the territory of Chu. ”
King Qin laughed and said, "Those who know my heart, you also." ”
The king of Chu snorted lightly and said, "The widow advises you to die as soon as possible." The widow will not cut half an inch of mountains and rivers to the despicable and shameless Qin State. ”
King Qin's smile stiffened, and he said proudly: "If you don't give it, the widow will take it for himself." ”
Seeing this, the King of Chu said contemptuously: "What else will the Qin State do except use despicable and shameless means. The Qin State has the ability to compete with the Chu State in a dignified manner. Why is the State of Chu afraid of the State of Qin? ”
"The widow admits that the state of Chu is a strong opponent. The State of Qin could not afford to provoke the State of Chu. In terms of strength and comprehensive national strength, the Qin State is not comparable to the Chu State. Qin Wangji's words changed, "A few years ago, Qin was afraid of the Chu State. Now, Qin He is afraid of Chu. ”
"If you are not afraid, why do you use dirty means to detain the widows?"
"King Chu is your own stupidity, how can you blame the widow for his dirty methods."
"You..."
"The widow deceives you and imprisons you, and the means are not clever." The corners of King Qin's lips showed a victorious gesture, "But, so what." You're not a prisoner yet. ”
"When the king of Qin imprisons the widows, he is not afraid of the untrustworthy princes. The state of Qin was attacked by the princes. ”
"The princes dare to attack Qin, and the few are afraid." The king of Qin remembered his original intention of coming here, and he did not have the ability to speak with the king of Chu, "The king of Chu is unwilling to cede territory to the Qin state. The widow will take it himself. ”
"Hahaha. The King of Qin despised the state of Chu so much. When the king of Chu heard this, he felt that this was the biggest joke in the world, "Although the widow is in the Qin State, there are loyal people such as Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan in the country. The people of Chu will definitely cut down the shame of Qin, reorganize the mountains and rivers of Chu, and ask the Qin State for their crimes. ”
"Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan, these two people are indeed loyal to the country. The widow imprisoned you, and I thought that the Chu Kingdom would be in chaos in order to compete for the throne. King Qin admired: "Zhao Ju, Qu Yuan and others not only helped you stabilize the situation in the Chu State, but also guarded the Zongmiao Sheji and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for you. also gave the widow a blow. When Qu Yuan personally told the widow that Chu had set up a new king. The widow was caught off guard! Chu has Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan, which is really Chu's luck. ”
The king of Chu raised his voice and said: "The widow is also proud to have such a courtier. ”
"Zhao Ju, Qu Yuan and other Chu people abandoned you." Qin Wangji said coldly: "Don't you think it's pathetic for King Chu? ”
"The widow is a sinner in the Chu State, and he is to blame for being abandoned." King Chu said lightly: "Widow, don't feel sad. ”
King Qin wanted to see hatred in the eyes of King Chu, and then laugh at him. However, King Chu's eyes did not have the slightest hatred, which made him very disappointed.
Seeing the other party's look of loss, the king of Chu shouted: "The king of Qin imprisons the widow, and the state of Chu will definitely raise troops to attack." ”
King Qin held his forehead and sighed, "It's a pity! You don't stand a chance. ”
"Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan will set foot in Xianyang and welcome me back to Chu." The king of Chu said angrily: "Qin is not dead, shame and snow." ”
"Shame on the death of Qin, the king of Chu has a big breath." King Qin sighed and said, "It's a pity! Zhao Ju and Qu Yuan can't break through Xianyang and welcome you back to Chu. ”
King Chu said: "What did you say? ”
"The widow forgot to tell you." King Qin stared into the eyes of the King of Chu, and for some reason he felt a little sympathetic to him, "The widows sent troops to attack Chu, beheaded tens of thousands, and captured fifteen cities." Zhao Ju has sacrificed his life for the country. ”
"What do you say. Zhao Ju is dead. The king of Chu smiled and said, "King of Qin wants to lie to me." Zhao Ju's life, striking Qin, cutting down the three Jins, resisting Qi, dying Xiongyue, and pacifying civil strife. He is the god of war, the pride of the Chu State, how could he die at the hands of the Qin people. ”
"The widow needs to lie to you."
"Even if Zhao Ju died in battle for the country, there is still Qu Yuan in the Chu State. With Qu Yuan here, he will definitely attack Qin Xuesha. ”
"Qu Yuan is dedicated to the country, and he is indeed a rare gentleman." King Qin lamented: "It's a pity! Your son is stupid and incompetent, and he actually demoted Qu Yuan out of Yingdu and sent him to Jiangnan. Your son destroyed the Great Wall, the state of Chu will not die, and heaven will not tolerate it! ”
"What." The king of Chu said: "Qu Yuan was demoted? ”
"It is said that there are three treasures in the state of Chu. He Shibi, Zhao Ju, Qu Yuan. and the family, unparalleled in the world; Zhao Ju is invincible, invincible, and the god of war in Chu'; Qu Yuan is a dignified gentleman for the country and the people, and his articles can be compared with the Book of Poetry. These three treasures are the pride of the Chu people. King Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a pity! Zhao Ju died in battle, and Qu Yuan was demoted. The sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived. ”
Although the King of Chu believed that King Qin's words were true, he didn't want to be ridiculed by the other party, so he restrained his emotions and said in a calm tone: "The widow doesn't believe your nonsense. How could Zhao Ju die in battle, and how could Qu Yuan be demoted. ”
"The widow is still the same sentence, believe it or not. Zhao Ju died in battle, and Qu Yuan was demoted. The Chu people have no arrogance, how can they step through Xianyang and die in shame. The King of Qin achieved the purpose of coming here, turned around and left the Zhangtai Palace, and sang: "Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Hello sky, who is this! ”
Zhangtai Palace was closed again, and the King of Chu did not need to deliberately maintain the state of a king, a stream of blood gushed out from his throat, sprayed out, and exclaimed sadly: "Zhaoju died in battle, Qu Yuan was degraded, Chu has no arrogance, how can he die Qin Xue's shame." The widow is shameful and hopeless, and there is no way to return to the country. This is the heavens who want to destroy the temple of Chu Guozong! The traitor is in charge, and Chu Zhi is about to die, and it is all the fault of the widow. ”
