The Battle of the Kingdoms Chapter 129 Clever Tongue
He walked up the steps of the bath, and the two clever women immediately took the bath towel and carefully wiped Zheng Zhuanggong's body.
Zheng Zhuanggong pondered the affairs of Zheng Guo in his sleep, presumably he had gained something, and left the garden with a smile on his face.
These women kneeling on the ground finally let down their guard, leaning together tiredly, from the other party's empty eyes did not see the hope for tomorrow, when is the end of such torture, maybe death can bring themselves real relief, but unfortunately they don't have the courage to face death, they can only live like dogs.
When you can only choose one between dignity and life, you may choose the latter, after all, you only have one chance to choose.
Zheng Zhuanggong sat on his throne, looked at the envoy from the communist city standing in front of the palace, and shouted: "Shameless maniac, occupy my Zhengguo city, destroy my capital granary, kill my Zhengguo civilians, and actually have the courage to come to Zhengcheng to make noise, is it impatient." ”
Wu Yong immediately buried his head deep in his chest, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, it's father and son." ”
Yan Ying had been brewing in the morning, and soon entered the state, her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a choked voice: "Zheng Zhuanggong has misunderstood us too deeply. After speaking, he hid his face and sobbed.
Zheng Zhuanggong didn't expect that Yan Ying, who had passed the age of standing, would suddenly burst into tears in the hall, and he asked suspiciously, "Why are you doing this?" The facts are in front of us, is there any falsehood? ”
Yan Ying said with emotion: "King Zheng, we were also deceived by Jiao Zhao, and after coming to Zheng Guo, I found that Zheng Zhuang Gong was misunderstood by the people of the world, in fact, you are the loyal minister who really supports the Zhou family." ”
Zheng Zhuanggong was curious: "How do you know?" ”
Yan Ying said: "Now that the Zhou family is in decline, all the princes of the world have come to see my king, but Zheng Zhuang Gong has always been by the side of the Zhou royal family, bowing to the east side of Luoyi, who can compare with such loyalty." ”
A minister standing next to him really couldn't listen to Yan Ying's nonsense boasting, what does it mean to stick to the Zhou royal family, Zheng Guo's fief is here, if you don't stay in Zheng Guo's fiefdom, where else can Zheng Zhuang go, this can also be said to be bowing to the east side of Luoyi, isn't it talking nonsense with his eyes open, the minister walked out of the team and shouted: "A bunch of nonsense." ”
Before Yan Ying could refute, Zheng Zhuanggong said angrily: "Get out, I really can't see others praising the king." ”
The minister's face was as dead as ashes, and he regretted how he told the truth.
Zheng Zhuanggong raised his hand and said, "Mr. Yan continued. ”
Yan Ying looked regretful and said: "King Zheng is accompanied by villains, no wonder some of your loyal and patriotic actions will be misunderstood, and these villains deliberately misinterpret your behavior to make the world misunderstand you." For example, the princes of the world think that the Zhou family is weak and does not pay tribute, but King Zheng, you often personally conquer the surrounding countries, so that they can realize that there is a brave and warlike prince like you by the side of King Zhou, which is a feat to reshape the majesty of the Zhou royal family, but it was framed by the villains as brutal and belligerent, and also plotted against your beloved son Ji Hu, in a vain attempt to subvert the regime. Fortunately, the eyes of the civilians of Zheng Guo are bright, and they are still on the side of King Zheng and you, and Gongzi Ji will inevitably fail if he loses his way and has little help. “
Zheng Zhuanggong's heart was full of joy when he heard it, and he hadn't heard such an ingenious sycophant for a long time. The atrocities that were originally criticized by Yan Ying were described by Yan Ying, but they became a feat of single-handedly supporting the dignity of the Zhou royal family, and I was moved when I heard it.
Zheng Zhuanggong said with a serious expression: "As Mr. Yan said, there are too many villains around this king, misinterpreting this king's kindness, pretending that the name of this king is wrong, but putting the stigma on the head of this king, hateful, killable." ”
Yan Ying empathized and said: "Zheng Li is a first-class villain in the original city of Gongcheng, in the name of King Zheng, he searched for money and beauties everywhere for his own enjoyment, and the civilians were deceived by him, and they hated King Zheng who knew nothing, and when my son-in-law arrived in Gongcheng, he explained the truth to the civilians of Gongcheng, and the angry civilians swarmed up, beat Zheng Li into the dog room, and let him be bitten to death by the vicious dog he raised, in order to vent his hatred. Now the people in the Gongcheng are looking forward to when King Zheng will return to the Gongcheng to comfort their injured bodies and minds. ”
Zheng Zhuanggong listened to Yan Ying's words, touched the armrest of the throne, and asked sincerely: "The people of Gongcheng really miss this king day and night?" ”
Yan Ying knelt down on one knee and said: "I think about it day and night, and the crying is endless. ”
Zheng Zhuanggong said bitterly: "Pity these subjects. ”
The ministers around him didn't dare to speak anymore, and let Yan Ying talk alone.
Every time he went to the meeting alone, Yan Ying was extremely excited, and he sprinkled a good sycophant, which immediately made Zheng Zhuanggong regard him as difficult to know himself.
After Yan Ying finished filming, a minister finally jumped out to refute the loopholes in Yan Ying's words, and the minister Zheng Yan said: "Since you said that your son-in-law Wu Ye already knew that Zheng Zhuanggong was misunderstood, why didn't you take the initiative to give up the Gongcheng and obediently quit Zheng Guo?" ”
Yan Ying said: "In this way, Zheng is in turmoil, Wei, Song and other countries have long been eyeing each other, wanting to fish in troubled waters, if we withdraw from the city now, we will immediately attract the armies of other countries to occupy it." We are not for our own selfish desire to occupy the city, but for King Zheng to defend the city, Liu Lingjun of the Song State once led his troops to attack the city, but we fought bloodily, with heavy casualties, to keep the city from losing. ”
Another minister, Ji Li, then asked: "Since you are defending the city for my king, why did you send troops to invade my tiger prison and the capital one after another, and I heard that the group of Qi people who attacked our Yanling also visited your common city, can this be the case?" ”
Yan Ying said very angrily: "The Tiger Prison guard will have two hearts and disobey the king's orders, King Zheng has repeatedly urged to send troops, but they have refused for various reasons, we are afraid that the Tiger Prison Pass will turn to Gongzi Ji Hu, which will be very unfavorable to King Zheng, so take the first step, take the Tiger Prison, and solve the big trouble for King Zheng." As for the occupation of the capital, it was completely a trick by Gongzi Ji to kill people with a knife. ”
Zheng Zhuanggong said: "How can you borrow a knife to kill someone? ”
Yan Ying said: "Now that the Qin and Jin are at war, there are 60,000 Jin refugees coming to Zheng State, and they are on the verge of starvation and death, Gongzi Ji Hu firmly controls the capital in his hands, and does not give them a grain of grain, the purpose is to rebel against the people, these 60,000 people are rioting on the land of Zheng State, and it is the civilians of Zheng who are ultimately hurt, and the king who has always loved the people like a son will also be heartbroken, and the vicious Gongzi Ji Hu will guide a little more to lead the anger of the displaced people to King Zheng, and King Zheng will not face the rebels of Gongzi Ji Hu and the angry and hungry 60,000 homeless people at the same time. ”
Zheng Zhuanggong gasped, and sighed in his heart: "Ji Hu, this kid really follows me, he is smart and vicious, and he can come up with such a clever plan." ”
Yan Ying said: "Although we helped the displaced people to take the capital, it was actually to alleviate the famine, avoid riots, and let the border of Zheng State be in a short period of calm. However, these people are dissatisfied with their desires, and they hope that Zheng Zhuanggong will calm down the civil strife as soon as possible and raise the flag to drive out the displaced people. ”
