Chu State, Yingdu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What? Qi suddenly increased its troops in Huaisi? Above the Chu court, Chu Guo looked around at the ministers with an angry face: "What does Qi Guo mean by this?" Does the King of Qi want to regenerate sword soldiers with Chu in Huaibei? Ahββ?h β
When the hundred officials were silent, suddenly a courtier came out and said: "Qi my king, the minister has heard recently, Qi wants to take advantage of Qin's expedition to Bashu and has no time to take care of the Central Plains, and Chu wants to conquer Ba and Qin to fight for Bashu, and seek Wu Yueββ! β
"Wu Yue?" The King of Chu couldn't help the anger in his heart on the spot, and almost gritted his teeth and said the word Wu Yue, and instantly Chu Ting roared, "Qi State attacking Wu Yue? Does the King of Qi want to fight the state of Chu endlessly? β
The State of Qi wants to cut down Yue, the King of Chu almost ran away, where is the Kingdom of Yue? It was in the eastern border of the Chu State, and it has always been a big trouble in the eastern border of the Chu State.
At that time, there will be an expedition of Qin to the west of Chu to Hanzhong Shu, and the success means that the border between Chu and Qin will be directly bordered, and the Qi and Yue countries will also succeed, so the border between Chu and Qi will also be directly bordered.
Although Ba and Yue are Chu troubles, they are small troubles after all, and their continued existence is more important as a buffer between Chu and Qin and Qi.
No wonder this King Chu Huai was instantly furious! Even more angry.
"You! What is the argument for Qi and Wu Yue? The king of Chu pointed directly at the minister who had just spoken.
"Tell my king, Wei Xiangju Xin sent an envoy to Qi a few days ago, and it is rumored that he wants to join forces to attack Wu Yue."
"Rumors? The widow wants facts, not hearsayββ! β
"My king is angry!" When the king of Chu was furious, Zhaoyang Ling came out and said: "The minister got a news a few days ago that Jingcang, the minister of the country, was in Yingdu recently. β
"Jingcang?" King Chu was puzzled, "Jingcang? What's the matter? Oh...... The widow seems to have an impression of it. β
"My king Mingjian, in the past, the Marquis of Wei sent ministers to envoy Chu State, saying that the person who sent Hui Shi to the Song Dynasty was the one who was the envoy of my king." Zhao Yangling said with a smile.
ββ¦β¦ I see! The king of Chu was suddenly puzzled: "Why did this minister of defense come to Yingdu to enter the court to see the widow?" β
The king of Chu suddenly felt that he had no face, and Zhaoyang Ling hurriedly explained: "My king, this person Jingcang did not come from an envoy to Yingdu this time, nor did he bring a patriotic talisman, it is said that he came to visit relatives in Yingdu, and now he is at the helm of a Jinxian trading company in Yingdu, and his relatives are the owners of the helm of the trading company. β
"Oh, a private matter? It would not be rude not to come to see the widow. The king of Chu nodded, and thought of the affairs of the Qi State again, and immediately ordered: "Yingdu has a minister of defense, just right!" Someone came, Chuan Jingcang immediately entered the palace to meet him, and the widow wanted to ask this minister of defending the country in person, whether Qi Wei was plotting against Wu Yue! β
β¦β¦
Jing Cang, who has been in the Jinxian trading company for many days, is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, and the remarks that are secretly spread are also deliberately operated, and Jing Cang is waiting for the summons of the Yingdu Palace.
The king's order was reached, and Jingcang was summoned to the palace of the king of Chu on the same day, and the court meeting was over, so he was taken to the palace garden.
"Jingcang has seen the King of Chuββ!"
King Chu Huai, Qu Yuan, and Zhaoyang Ling were also there, and King Chu stopped and said, "No courtesy, Mr. sit down!" β
"King Xie Chuββ!"
When Jingcang was seated and the palace attendant brought the wine, the king of Chu said straight to the point: "I have heard that Wei Guo and Qi conspired to occupy Jianghuai and even conspire to capture Wu Yue, but is there such a thing?" β
"Uh...... Wei plotted the land of Wu Yue? Where did the King of Chu hear this? King Mingjian of Chu, the land of Wuyue is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, what is the plan to defend the country? Jing Cang, who was about to drink a cup, was stunned for a moment, his expression was full of doubts, and he glanced back and forth in front of the monarchs and ministers of Chu State.
What Jing Cang said made sense, and he couldn't find fault with it for a while, and the king of Chu asked again: "The widow asked you, how do you explain the envoy of Qi at the sunrise of the minister of the country?" Even rumors can't be groundless, and from the perspective of the widows, it is clear that Qi Wei and the two countries are colluding to misbehave, do you think you can deceive the Chu State? β
"Alas, the king has misunderstood!" Jing Cang was shocked and hurriedly explained, "King, there is really no such thing. It is true that the prime minister of my family sent an envoy to the country of Qi, but the king also knows that the alliance and marriage between the two countries of Wei and Qi is something that the world knows. β
"Welcome?" The young King of Chu looked suspicious, "The princess of Qi hasn't married yet?" Good fellow, how long has it been since you Qi Wei Alliance? Is it so troublesome to get a princess? Wei Hou really has been waiting for a long time. β
Jing Cang said with a dry smile: "Isn't it also an auspicious day for Princess Ayafei to come out, Qi is a big country and a strong country like Chu State, and the princess has been preparing for a few months just as a dowry gift." β
"Months?" The King of Chu looked surprised.
"I'm Wang Rongyu." Zhaoyang Ling said at this time: "The minister has heard a little, Princess Ayafei of Qi Kingdom surrendered, and the King of Qi gave 100,000 gold, thousands of cars, millions of grains and grass, 10,000 servants, 10,000 pairs of armor, 300 packs, 500 horses, 3,000 sheep, and countless jewels and jade ornaments, all of which were gifts for the marriage of Princess Ayafei by the King of Qi. β
"Good guy, King Qi is really generous enough?" The King of Chu was extremely surprised, and couldn't help but say happily: "Wei Hou has made a lot of money, both people and money, and everyone wants to find the King of Qi and want a princess of Qi." β
"The king of Chu laughed." Jing Cang smiled awkwardly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly after speaking.
"The widow has always heard that Qi women are amorous, fair and ladylike, eyebrows like green feathers, skin like snow, waist like bundles, teeth like shells......" The king of Chu suddenly asked excitedly: "Jingcang, right?" Hey, tell the widow! How is this Princess Ayayu? β
Jing Cang's face froze when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say in the face of the expectation expressed in the eyes of the King of Chu.
Qu Yuan, who happened to drink wine, almost didn't hold the wine bottle when he heard it, and the oldest old Zhaoyang Ling couldn't help but turn his head to hide his embarrassment.
The supreme king of Chu has always done whatever he wants, this is already seriously off-topic, Lao Zhaoyang and Qu Yuan both feel that this face is hot, the lord of a country, such a faux pas, what kind of system!
Mi Yuan and Lao Zhaoyang felt that Chu Guo's face had been inadvertently thrown to the Central Plains by the King of Chu, and the parties looked like gossip and obviously hadn't reacted yet. No one can do anything about the king of Chu, he is young and the throne of Chu, and everything else is good and he is a Ming Jun, and he also has a lot of bad problems, one of which is lustful.
Who in Chu doesn't know that Zheng Sleeve, who is favored by the king of Chu today, this is a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, it is said that if it weren't for Zhang Yi, the king of Chu almost included the beauty of Mi Bazi into his harem.
"Ahem......"
Qu Yuan coughed lightly to make the interested King Chu Huai react, and when he knew that he was ugly, he laughed dryly to cover up, "Off topic, off topic, get down to business!" The king of Chu immediately sat upright and asked in a solemn voice: "Jingcang, the widow asked you, since you said that it was nothing, why did the Qi State suddenly increase its troops in the land of Huaisi?" β
"The land of Qi to increase its troops in Huaisi?" Jing Cang was stunned.
At this moment, a palace attendant sent a bamboo slip, "King Yu, Qi Guo Fu Festival!" β
The king of Chu opened it and looked at it, without saying a word, and after a while, he suddenly glanced at Jingcang with a smile, and said lightly: "It's really unfortunate, sir, the two countries of Qi and Wei have already met in the Song realm, oh, there is also a sentence on the Fu Festival, sincerely invite the two countries of Chu and Qi Wei to join the alliance, what is there to say, sir?" β
Jing Cang was stunned when he heard the fake face, it was a kind of performance of being recognized, just when the King of Chu looked at you with a look that saw through you, Jing Cang, who reacted quickly, hurriedly said: "The King of Chu forgives his sins, he didn't mean to deceive, but in fact, he was helpless." β
"The widow gives you a chance to defend yourself!" The king of Chu wanted to hear what he had to say.
"King Xie Chu." Jing Cang hurriedly saluted gratefully, and then said: "The king of Chu doesn't know, Qi and Chu are both big countries, and Wei is a small country and a weak country, and he just wants to save the country." Qi really wants to cut down Wu Yue, Qi soldiers to the north with the intention of seeking south, Qi State to attack Yan is just a disguise, the real intention is to seek Wu Yue, one of them uses Yan as a trick, so that the world mistakenly thinks that Qi State has put its energy on Yan State, the king thinks about it, Chu State will definitely rest assured that the east border and focus on Wujun and Qianzhong. β
"So the State of Qi took the opportunity to go south, and the State of Chu was in a hurry to react, and the energy of the State of Chu was all in the fight between the State of Ba and Qin for Bashu, and the State of Qi was unprepared to attack it, so the State of Chu had no time to take care of it, and it was too late."
"Qi Guo really has sinister intentions." The King of Chu suddenly said angrily.
Jingcang sighed, shook his head and said helplessly: "Weiguo is a small country, a weak country, I only hope to survive the country." The land of Wu Yue, thousands of miles away, what is the defense of the country? Wei Guo is not interested at all, even if he is interested, he is powerless, but the marriage alliance between Qi Guo and Wei is to pull my family to squander it with that little bit of family wealth, Wei Guo is unwilling but can he not agree? β
"Yes, if the State of Qi comes again with an army of 150,000 Chen Bing Guanze and Ma Lingdao, the Marquis of Wei will not be able to bear the toss of King Qi like this, ahaββ!" The king of Chu laughed, and then sneered: "The people of the Central Plains just like to bully people, and the state of Qi keeps saying that the state of etiquette and the reputation of Qilu are often on their lips, and they look at the king of Qi as well as the group of Confucian students under Ji, hypocritical and disgusting. β
"It's bitter, Wei Hou is caught in the Central Plains, and he is angry." The king of Chu co-authored to help Wei Zheng ming, which made Jing Cang unsure of what kind of character he was for a while when he was the king of Chu State.
Jingcang left in such a hurry, the king of Chu did not force him to stay, he had been in Chu for so many years, just to act in such a play.
As soon as the outsiders left, the king of Chu said: "Since Qi Wei sincerely invites the widow to join the alliance, it is okay, the widow wants to see what they want, Zhaoyang Ling, you will represent the Chu State and the Qi Wei Association to ally the Sang, deal with them, and see what the Qi State means." β
"Obey the king!"
