Chapter 166: Qu Yuan was demoted to Hanbei

Qu Yuan was in the State of Qi, and suddenly heard that Zhang Yi entered Chu, left the State of Qi in a hurry, and returned to the State of Chu in order to kill Zhang Yi. In the battle of Danyang, the Qu family was killed. Qu Yuan's hatred for Zhang Yi is like the water of a river, and it cannot be stopped. When Qu Yuan returned to the state of Chu, he learned that the king of Chu not only did not kill him, but let him go and sent him home.

Qu Yuan was extremely sad, "Zhang Yi deceived the king, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my country died for him. Why don't you kill him, your lord? To comfort the souls of the dead soldiers. ”

The king of Chu understood Qu Yuan's mood, let him vent, did not answer, and drank the wine bottle.

Seeing this, Zhaoyang hurriedly said: "Zuo Situ, you have worked hard to envoy Qi State, go down and rest early." ”

Qu Yuan ignored Zhaoyang's kindness, glared at the king of Chu and asked, "Zhang Yi bullied Chu, and the king let him return to the country." How to be worthy of the ghosts of the soldiers of the three armies. ”

Zhaoyang glanced at the King of Chu and saw that the King of Chu's face was extremely ugly, "Zuo Situ, if you don't kill Zhang Yi, you naturally have deeper considerations." ”

Qu Yuan turned to look at Zhaoyang, and that angry look seemed to swallow everything, "Qu Yuan, I want to hear about it." ”

Zhaoyang sorted out the wording and said: "If you kill Zhang Yi, the Qin State will break the covenant." The Qin State will not return the land of Hanzhong County and Shangyu. Killed Zhang Yi, Qianzhong County is also Qin's. The Qin State will also use this as an excuse to send troops to attack me. Qin Chu's war is open again, so what should I do. ”

"The ancestors overcame the thorns and waves, and only then did they have the current situation of the Chu State. So far, the state of Chu has never been afraid of war. The Qin State wants to fight, and the Chu State accompanies it. Qu Yuan said again: "Zhang Yi and the State of Chu don't share the sky, how can they not kill them to comfort the soldiers of the three armies who died in battle." ”

When Zhang Yi returned to China, Zhaoyang knew that Qu Yuan couldn't let go, so he comforted: "Zuo Situ, Qin and Chu have finally lived in peace. Killed Zhang Yi, and the war between Qin and Chu resumed. Do you want to live in misery? ”

Qu Yuan laughed loudly: "Ling Yin, you have changed. You are no longer the hot-blooded man who fought on the battlefield for the Chu State and killed the enemy and broke the formation. ”

Zhaoyang said angrily: "Zuo Situ, you... You..."

Jin Shang said: "Zuo Situ, how can you put yourself in the Chu State and the flames of war because of your own selfishness." ”

"Qu Yuan is dedicated to the country, and the sun and the moon can be learned." Qu Yuan glared at him angrily and said, "Killing Zhang Yi can calm the people's anger and strengthen the prestige of our country." If the Qin State does not return the land of Hanzhong and Shangyu, we will take it back by force. If the Qin State dares to send troops to attack our Qianzhong County, we will break through Xianyang. It is impossible for the Qin and Chu states to coexist peacefully. If there is a Qin state, there will be no Chu state. We don't take advantage of the country's strength to suppress Qin. Once the Qin State eased up, it regained its national strength. If we don't deal with the Qin State, the Qin State will also take the initiative to fight us. ”

The king of Chu shook the wine cup in his hand and said angrily: "Qu Yuan, you don't want to be presumptuous." Whether to kill Zhang Yi or not, the widow has the final say. ”

"Hahahaha." When Qu Yuan heard this, he laughed loudly. Its sound echoed in every corner of the main hall.

The King of Chu asked with a calm face, "Qu Yuan, what are you laughing at?" ”

Qu Yuan stopped laughing and looked around at everyone, "Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting for the honor and dignity of the Chu State. Those dead soldiers also died fighting for the country, and their deaths were too worthless. Soldiers, Qu Yuan is incompetent! I can't avenge you. ”

The king of Chu scolded: "For the sake of the overall situation, what's wrong with releasing Zhang Yi. ”

Qu Yuan looked at the angry eyes of the King of Chu, and replied fearlessly: "Zhang Yi deceived Chu and deceived the king. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our country also died because of him. Zhang Yi entered Chu again. Qu Yuan thought that when the king saw him, he would cook him into the fire. Qu Yuan, I didn't expect that the king was broad-minded and didn't care about his previous suspicions. released his suspicions with the enemy of Chu and let him go. The king said that it was the overall situation, but Qu Yuan didn't understand what the overall situation was. But Qu Yuan knew that revenge would be avenged, and blood debts would be repaid. ”

'If there is revenge, there will be revenge, and blood debts will be repaid', these eight words are deafening.

The king of Chu patted the case. said angrily: "Qu Yuan, the widow has put up with you for a long time. ”

"Gongsun Yan elected the king as the chief of the alliance. The five countries of Chu, Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan formed an alliance, and the momentum was huge, and the soldiers sent a letter to Gu. I, the country of Chu, is famous among the princes. The Five Nations Coalition sent a letter to Gu less than a few years ago. Han and Wei assisted Qin in attacking Chu. Here's why. Qu Yuan's chest rose and fell sharply, "The soldiers of the five countries sent a letter to Gu, took the stage and swore that they would not break the Qin State and not withdraw from the army. The state of Qin was not broken, and our country withdrew its troops on its own. The Great War of the Three Kingdoms of Qin and Han, Zhao, and Wei. The Three Kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei were defeated and beheaded 80,000. Since then, the Three Jin Dynasty have been alienated from the Chu State and have become close to the Qin State. The lack of trust of the princes of Chu in the Central Plains led to a great war in the Central Plains, and there was no ally to help them. Wouldn't it be tragic that the state of Chu ended up in this situation. Qu Yuan's eyes looked sad, and he said: "The four countries of Qin, Han, Wei and Yue formed an alliance to attack our country. The state of Qi united with the state of Song and sent troops to the state of Wei. It relieves us of the pressure to deal with the princes. The state of Chu was unanimous and took revenge on the state of Qin. Defeat the Qin army, break the martial pass, and go to Lantian. We are working hard, why worry about not being able to break through Xianyang of Qin. The situation on the battlefield improved, and the king actually chose to negotiate peace with Qin. The state of Chu disregarded faith and righteousness and withdrew from the army privately. Although we led the disaster of the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei to the Qi State. On the edge of Pushui, the three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei defeated the state of Qi. Do you know who the person Qi hates the most now? ”

Jin Shangdao: "The three kingdoms of Qin, Han and Wei defeated the Qi State, and of course the Qi State hated them. ”

"Wrong. The State of Qi hated the State of Chu the most. Qu Yuan said sharply: "It's my Chu State." ”

"Qi helps us contain the Wei forces. We negotiated peace with the Qin State and treacherously broke our promises. Lead the three kingdoms of Qin, Han, and Wei to the state of Qi. On the edge of Pushui, the Qi State was defeated. Qu Yuan said bitterly: "This time, the envoy to the Qi State, Chu and Qi took great pains to re-conclude the alliance. What the King of Qi wants to see is that the Chu State unites Qi and Qin. The king released Zhang Yi, and the king of Qi could not see the sincerity of the Chu State, and he would definitely hate the Chu State. Once the state of Qi recovers its national strength, the situation in the world will change. The state of Qi will also unite with the princes of the Central Plains and attack the state of Chu. to avenge our country's treachery. ”

King Chu said: "If the King of Qi wants to take revenge, it depends on whether he has the ability." A country owned by a few people, the princes of the world cannot be compared. How can the widow be afraid of the Qi country? ”

"Why did you lose to the Qin State. It's that we are arrogant and don't take the Qin people in our eyes. Qu Yuan saw that the king of Chu was still sleeping in the sweet dream of a great country, and had not yet woken up, "We have offended the Qi country." The state of Qin was also offended. None of the princes of the Central Plains has made friends with our country. The state of Chu has offended the princes of the world, wait for the war! ”

"Hit it. The widow is still afraid that the Qi country will not succeed. ”

"O faint king! Faint King. Qu Yuan scolded: "The state of Chu is in your hands, and sooner or later it will die." ”

"Qu Yuan, don't talk nonsense." The King of Chu was furious, "The widow respects you as a talent, and will be polite to you." The concession of the widow is incompetent and mediocre in your eyes. Today you have openly reproached the widow in the great hall, and have despised the authority of the widow. Is it tolerable or unbearable, and there is no need to endure it anymore. Someone came, Qu Yuan was sent to Hanbei, and without an edict, he was not allowed to step into the Yingdu of Chu State. ”

When Qu Yuan heard this, he closed his eyes, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Zhaoyang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Situ loves his country too much, so he will say something rebellious." Let the king be gracious and spare him. ”

Jing Cui also said: "Please see that Zuo Situ is dedicated to the country and forgive him." ”

The people also said, "Please be gracious to the king." ”

"Everyone, don't plead for Qu Yuan." Qu Yuan opened his eyes, and his restless heart for the country had gradually cooled, "Qu Yuan doesn't want to look at the great rivers and mountains of the Chu State and fall into the hands of the Qin State. The king sent his ministers to Hanbei, and the ministers received orders. ”

Seeing that he did not repent, the king of Chu said angrily: "Whoever dares to intercede for him will be guilty of the same crime." Come and send Qu Yuan to Hanbei. ”

"No need. I'll go by myself" Qu Yuan walked out of the hall step by step, "The country of Chu is not far from the day of its demise!" Chu State, what will I do to save you. ”

The king of Chu was insulted by Qu Yuan, and suddenly, he was in no mood to taste wine and enjoy singing and dancing, and left the hall with his sleeves brushed. After the king of Chu left, everyone also broke up unhappily.

Zhaoyang got up and hurriedly left the main hall.

Seeing this, Zhao Ju also chased after him and asked, "Ling Yin, where are you going?" ”

Zhaoyang didn't stop and replied: "Qu Yuan is a talent, you can't let him leave Yingdu and go to Hanbei like this." ”

Zhao Ju said: "Qu Yuan insulted the king, and the king was furious, and sent him to Hanbei, but he was to blame. Ordering Yin to go to see him off, the king will not be happy. ”

Zhaoyang asked, "I knew that Qu Yuan had a fire in his heart, but I didn't expect this fire to be so vigorous. I thought that the king would only keep Qu Yuan away from the court, but I didn't expect that the king would be furious and send him to Hanbei. ”

This time, the king was really angry. also had an iron heart and cleared the Qu family. Zhao Ju said in a low voice: "The Qu clan can no longer gain a foothold in the court. The world of Chu is my Zhao clan's decision. ”

"The King of Chu is able to sit on the throne. It is because the three major families of Qu, Zhao, and Jing check and balance each other and restrain each other. Now, the Qu family is gone, and the balance of the three major families has been broken. Zhaoyang said: "When the King of Chu sees that the power of the Zhao clan is growing, he will not listen to it and let it go." Today's defeat of the Qu clan is also the future Zhao clan. Qu Yuan is a talented person, but the patriotic heart is too sincere, and his temperament is rather bent. What he said was not unreasonable. The princes of the Central Plains, the state of Chu did not have a single friend. Isn't the state of Chu pitiful. ”

Zhao Ju said: "Chu State doesn't need friends. ”

Zhaoyang sneered: "If this is the case, the two countries of Qi and Qin will make a move against the Chu State. The state of Chu is not far from the day of its demise. ”

Zhao Ju exclaimed: "Ling Yin, you mean that there will be a big war soon. ”

"Wait and see!" Zhaoyang stared at this majestic palace, "In less than five years, the Chu State will not be peaceful." ”

Zhaoyang chased out of the city gate, found Qu Yuan's back, and shouted: "Zuo Situ, please stay." ”

"Qu Yuan is already a sinner who was sent to Hanbei. Ling Yin came to see me off, not afraid of getting into trouble. ”

"My friendship with Zuo Situ, how can I be afraid of getting into trouble."

When Qu Yuan heard this, a warm current poured into his heart, "Qu Yuan was able to know Ling Yin, which was a merit in his previous life. Please bow down to me. ”

Zhaoyang hurriedly stopped: "You and I are the ministers of the First Palace. I'm also much older than you. However, we have long been teachers and friends. How could Zuo Situ make such a big gift. ”

"Qu Yuan will always remember Ling Yin."

"Zuo Situ, you are good at everything, but your temper is too stubborn." Zhaoyang stretched out his hand to send him forward, "We are courtiers, and he is the king." You don't pay attention to proportions when you speak. How can you say something rebellious and blame the king? Admiral Wang sent you to Hanbei, and he didn't wronged you at all. ”

"That's what Qu Yuan's personality is."

"The reason why the king didn't kill Zhang Yi was because he wanted to borrow the knife of the Qin State." Zhaoyang lowered his voice, "Zhang Yi is a snob and narrow-minded. For the sake of the position of Xiangguo, he deliberately squeezed out Gongsun Yan. Gongsun Yan is a talented person, if he does not leave Qin, there will be turmoil in the world. The Qin State will not go on expeditions year after year, start wars with the princes, and damage the national strength. In order to stay in the Qin State, Zhang Yi did not hesitate to squeeze out a first-class strategist like Chen Zhen. In order to achieve her goals, Zhang Yi will use despicable means at all costs. ”

"Zhang Yi is a person, I have heard of it for a long time. Ling Yin said that what does this have to do with whether or not to kill Zhang Yi. ”

"Zuo Situ, you are still a smart person. I can't see through the mystery. Zhaoyang said: "Zhang Yi is acting nonsense because King Qin favors him. Once, the king of Qin is gone, and the new king succeeds to the throne. How could the Qin State have a place for Zhang Yi to stand. The eldest concubine of the Qin State is the younger brother of the King of Qin, and in the three battles of Danyang, Lantian and Pushang, what a military feat it is to win and attack Chu Poqi. Zhang Yixiangguo's status will also be replaced by him. Zhang Yi will also try to squeeze out Ying Ji, Wei Zhang, Gan Mao and others for the sake of his position as Xiangguo, based on the Qin State. Winning disease, Gan Mao, and Wei Zhang are a generation of famous generals. Let's let Zhang Yi get rid of these powerful opponents for Chu State. ”

"If King Qin is here, no one can touch Zhang Yi's status. Winning is high, but he is a wise man and will not seek the position of prime minister. ”

"King Qin is here, Zhang Yi is worry-free. If the King of Qin was not there, how could Zhang Yi gain a foothold in the Qin State. Zhaoyang said in a low voice: "In the battle of Lantian, King Qin was seriously ill. I'm afraid I won't have much time left. We waited for Zhang Yi to get rid of the meritorious generals such as Ying Ji, Gan Mao and Wei Zhang. When the new king succeeds to the throne, he will also kill Zhang Yi to establish the prestige of the country. ”

"Ling Yin, please stop. You don't understand Qu Yuan's heart. Qu Yuan bowed," he said. ”

Zhaoyang returned the salute, and he couldn't guess the meaning of Qu Yuan's words. Also, the grievances between Qu Yuan and Zhang Yi can not be understood by others. Qu Yuan glanced at Yingdu, turned around, did not leave any sustenance, and left very chicly. Qu Yuan sang as he walked, "No one in the country knows anything, so why don't you have the old capital!" Since I am not enough to be in the United States, I will live from Peng Xian's place! ”
