Chapter 4: The sneer of the King of Chu

The heavy fur cover was on Chu Wang Heng's body, but he still felt a little cold, his hands that were retracted into his sleeves couldn't help trembling, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, dripping on the floor, his thin fingers were like the trunk of an old tree, the purple and blue veins were tightly tightened, no trace of flesh and blood, and his long nails were black.

Next to the scorching stove came the light and heat, which is not normal at this time of summer,

The palace maids and temple people standing next to them endured the heat, and the beads of sweat flowing in their bodies clung to their clothes, this is not a moment or two, and the king of Chu has felt hot and cold for several days.

Ling Yin Zilan slowly walked in from the front of the hall, he frowned, and then showed a worried look, "Your Majesty, your body doesn't matter!" ”

The king of Chu stretched his gray head out of his fur, but there was a chill lingering in his body dripping with hot sweat, and he couldn't drive it away, he coughed a few times, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm with cyan blood, and said in an old and weak voice: "Zilan, Brother Wang, I'm afraid time is running out." ”

A hint of joy flashed at the corner of Yin Zilan's mouth, but it quickly disappeared, knelt on the ground, crawled forward a few times, and cried: "Brother Wang, Brother Wang, how is this possible, Zhuangzi said that Peng Yue has eight hundred, as long as you recuperate slowly, one day, Brother Wang, your body will be fine." ”

King Chu shook his head, his sallow face was obviously tired, and he said in a deep voice: "The widow knows his body, how easy it is to talk about it, even if Bian Que is reincarnated, it will be difficult to renew his life... The time must come when this life expectancy should come, and people will eventually die. ”

"Brother Wang, Brother Wang! I heard that there is a scholar Zou Yan in Linzi, who is now over 70 years old, but his face is ruddy like a prime of life, why don't you invite Brother Wang to invite him to renew Brother Wang's life? Ling Yin Zilan suggested.

"Zou Yan?" There was a hint of expectation in the eyes of the king of Chu, although it was said that people were inherently dead, but before dying, they had to see if it was possible for them to climb ashore again.

"Yes, Zou Yan used to be the advisor of King Yan Zhao, and now he lives in seclusion in Linzi, Qi State, and Brother Wang only needs to summon him." Ling Yin Zilan hurriedly said. The prostrate body was slightly bent, like a sea lion, with its head held high, but the high crown on its head was slightly tilted.

"Hmm." The King of Chu nodded, his cloudy eyes turned inward, and he coughed, "If the widow is gone, I don't know who the Chu State should inherit?" ”

"This?" Ling Yin Zilan hurriedly lowered her head, cried a few times, and whimpered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" You can't say that! ”

"Say! Who will succeed after the widow is gone? King Chu's cloudy eyes shone brightly, staring closely at Ling Yin Zilan, who was lying on the ground.

"When... When the crown prince succeeded to the throne. Ling Yin Zilan hesitated for a moment and said quickly.

"You, worried?" King Chu snorted coldly and said lightly, but anyone could hear the coldness in his words.

"Brother Chen, brother Chen, brother is worried, now the prince is far away in Qin, and Qin Chu is now a feud, welcome back the prince, I'm afraid... It's hard to climb! Ling Yin Zilan lowered her head, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

After hearing this, the King of Chu sighed deeply, and coughed a few times with his lungs, "I know the situation of the prince in the Qin State, and the widow was also a proton, and the bitter widow also knows, Zilan, what do you say?" ”

King Xiang of Chu was once the proton sent to the State of Qi by King Huai of Chu, his teacher was Shen Dao, after King Huai of Chu listened to Zhang Yi's slander, and after breaking off diplomatic relations with the State of Qi, a war broke out between Qi and Chu, and the United Six Nations of Qi sent Kuang Zhang as the commander to almost destroy the State of Chu, and then King Huai of Chu sued for peace and ceded the land.

King Chu Qingxiang, who was a proton, also suffered a lot of sins in the Qi State, after all, the Chu State was a defeated country defeated by the Qi State.

"Brother... The younger brother knew that the king felt sorry for the prince in his heart, but how could the major affairs of the family and the country be equated with child's play, and the Qin State would definitely not let go of the prince easily. Ling Yin Zilan shook her head, and her prostrate body shook a few times, apparently because she was crying.

"That's... How do you say? King Chu's tone became cold, his thin hands were like devil's claws, and his body leaned forward slightly.

Ling Yin Zilan shuddered, climbed a few steps forward, and said with a whimper: "Your Majesty, Yang Wenjun's two sons can be in charge, if the prince doesn't return,... Then Yang Wenjun's son can be the king of Chu. ”

"Oh?" King Chu's cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Widow remember, you are very close to them!" ”

The cold sweat behind Yin Zilan gradually broke out, and it was undeniable at this time, "The so-called external moves do not avoid hatred, internal moves do not avoid relatives, although Yang Wenjun's son has a close relationship with his younger brother, but it is precisely because of his understanding that he proposed that he can be the crown prince!" ”

"For the crown prince?" King Chu coughed a few times, "Let's not mention this matter for the time being, let's talk about another thing." ”

"Brother Wang dares to ask what?" Ling Yin Zilan's palms were already covered with cold sweat.

The King of Chu picked up the fur fur, put it on the table, and sighed a few times, "King Qi is gone!" ”

"What? Qi Wangxue? Yin Zilan was a little surprised, you must know that Tian Fazhang was only in his forties, and he died like this?

No wonder today's King of Chu is a little abnormal, it turned out that he saw that King Qi was dead, and he was much older than King Qi, and now he is seriously ill and has to worry about what happened behind him!

"My Chu State sent a messenger to offer condolences." Ling Yin Zilan said casually, this is a common practice among the nations, just like which king marries, the intimate country will give several princesses as concubines or concubines.

"Yes!" The king of Chu nodded, "But the widow wants to marry the Qi country in advance, and the marriage must be advanced, so you will send the Qi country to the country." ”

"What? Marriage in advance?" Yin Zilan felt that something was wrong, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and the King of Chu must have a purpose in transferring him to the Qi State.

"Brother Wang, the marriage is ahead of schedule, I'm afraid it's unlucky!" Ling Yin Zilan said.

"What's bad luck, just pick a good day when the time comes." The king of Chu was a little impatient.

"Yes, Brother Wang." Ling Yin Zilan nodded yes.

"Then you stand down!" The king of Chu waved his hand to show his reluctance.

Ling Yin Zilan hurriedly got up from the ground and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Yin Yin's mind is not pure." Queen Chu slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

A sneer appeared at the corner of King Chu's mouth, "What he thinks, few people know, it is nothing more than wanting to support Yang Wenjun's son, so as to control the government, but... He was wrong, he was in too much of a hurry.

The teacher gave me a truth, everything must look forward and backward, just like giving up the land of Huaibei in exchange for a widow to succeed to the throne. ”

In that year, King Chu Huai died, King Chu was in Qi State, King Min of Qi did not let him go, and finally cautious enough to let the King of Chu give up the land of 600 miles in Huaibei in exchange for the King of Chu to return to Yingdu to succeed to the throne.
