Chapter 64 Waiting for an opportunity to divide powers
After seeing the queen of Chu, Ziyi waved her hand and asked the musician and the palace maid who were dancing to step down.
Then, he said to the king of Chu bitterly: "Qunshu rebels against Chu, the Jin state will be allied, and the state of Chu will be attacked on all sides." But in the face of the safety of the country, the king is still watching the dance and listening to the music, which is really sad. ”
The king of Chu said disappreciably: "This king has so many virtuous ministers to worry about, look at what singing and dancing are." ”
"You too," Ziyi said sharply in the face of Zhong Wuregret again: "How many times have I told you to persuade the king to be diligent in government, but you have not changed your heart and still let the king indulge in wine." ”
"The student is guilty, and he will definitely change his way in the future, so that the king will worry about the country." Zhong Wuregret said perfunctorily. He heard that starting with President Chiang, as long as he calls himself a student, the emotional distance can be shortened by at least half.
Sure enough, Ziyi's expression eased a lot, and said: "You have fun with the king, you have to stop in moderation, now that the country is in crisis, you are still asking the king to have fun blindly, it is a big crime, you know?" ”
Gongzi Xie also said sincerely: "The king is the king of a country, he must think of good strategies, and he is a virtuous king who worries about the country and the people." ”
"Master teach me!" The King of Chu pleaded.
Ziyi and Gongzixie glanced at each other, Ziyi said with joy on his face: "This time the rebellion of the Qunshu countries against Chu is really a big deal, if it is not quickly quelled, the countries attached to Chu will rebel against Chu one after another, and if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the Chu country is in danger!" ”
"Master, but you have a strategy?" King Chu asked.
"Not bad!" Ziyi said resolutely: "The stakes are very high, and the rebellion must be led by Ling Yin Chengjia and Pan Chong." Last time, if it wasn't for the military division sent by Prince Mu to help, Cheng Jia would have returned with a fiasco. Moreover, because of this rebellion, the king ...... first"
Ziyi shook her head sadly, and then said, "So this time, the two of them must go out with the same division and help each other to win." ”
"However, they are all gone, who will take care of the safety of the royal city?" King Chu said with a bitter face.
"I have discussed with Gongzixie, when the country is in danger, the master should stand up to serve the country, and the safety of this royal city will be handed over to the two of us." Ziyi said righteously.
", the embezzlers on the stage make anti-corruption reports, they are all so justifiable." Zhong Wuregret muttered in his heart, he felt that Gongzi Xie and Ziyi couldn't wait to do it this time.
But he still said with a smile on his face: "Master said this, he underestimated himself too much, King Chu was still saying just now, this time I am going to invite the two masters to lead the army to quell the rebellion, and the merits will definitely be remembered through the ages, surpassing Ling Yin Chengjia and King Mu Taishi Pan Chong." ”
Gongzi Xie was wearing this high hat, and he really had the meaning of jumping to give it a try, but Ziyi had been a prisoner and had seen the bloody battles and cruelty on the battlefield, so he was unwilling to risk his life to win the eternity.
His wishful thinking was to get the king of Chu to send Cheng Jia and Pan Chong to the battlefield to suppress the rebellion, and when the war began, the assassins, including the dead soldiers led by Zhong Wuregret, should attack Cheng Jia. As soon as Cheng Jia died, he and Gongzi Xie, in the name of guarding the royal city, led troops to control Yingdu, and forced the king of Chu to appoint him as Ling Yin, so that he could sit on the throne as he wished.
Pan Chong led the troops outside, even if he knew that the king of Chu was persecuted to take Ziyi as his appearance, he was helpless.
Ziyi and Gongzixie guarded the royal city, and Cheng Jia must give up the power of the city defense, once they sat on the stage, they first purged Pan Chong as the leader of the forbidden army, so that the royal city and the palace were Ziyi's world, and the king of Chu did not take care of political affairs, and Ziyi became the king of Chu.
is also a Taishi, Ziyi wants to surpass Pan Chong.
The king of Chu promised to arrange it according to Ziyi's intention when he promised to come to court tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, the king of Chu made an exception to the court and discussed with his ministers about the crusade against Qunshu.
Cheng Jia stepped forward and said: "King, the countries of Qunshu have long been rebellious, so it is better to take this opportunity to destroy Qunshu and reset the county." It is the duty of Weichen to send troops to fight, please play the king, let Weichen lead the army to fight. ”
Pan Chong sneered: "If you say it will be destroyed, will it be destroyed, did you still use King Mu's personal expedition at the beginning?" ”
"The initial battle was unfavorable, because of the unfamiliar terrain, after the last counterinsurgency, Weichen has mastered the strategy of defeating Qunshu, this time the troops will be successful." Cheng Jia said.
A courtier stepped forward and said: "When the war was unfavorable for a long time, King Mu was able to destroy the two countries of Qunshu in the end, because he listened to the strategy of the military division sent by Taishi Pan, and I don't know if the strategy of mastering the victory over Qunshu as Lord Yin said is still this strategy." ”
"Last time, the strategy could only be used as a temporary emergency, and this time, I have my own clever plan for counterinsurgency." Cheng Jia said calmly.
Another courtier hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I think it is better for Pan Taishi to lead the army to fight this rebellion." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." When the king of Chu saw it, the court officials who agreed with this performance were pressed by the black.
At this time, another courtier played: "Lord Yin has been fighting for the country for a long time, and the soldiers will be strong, so he must not be doubly responsible for a momentary defeat." Moreover, making Yin out of the rank of general is the political system of the Chu State, and it cannot be abandoned. ”
"I think it is still up to Master Pan and Lord Ling Yin to lead an army and attack the countries of Qunshu separately, that kind of projectile land is not enough to place the county, after pacifying the country of Qunshu, the king will be rewarded for meritorious deeds." Another courtier sang.
Zhong Wuregret watched coldly from the sidelines, at the beginning of the early dynasty, all the courtiers who stood up to ask for a performance, the faction was very obvious, Zhong Wuregret had already established a blacklist and recorded them one by one.
The court meeting was very lively, and all the ministers insisted on their own words, and the king of Chu seemed a little overwhelmed. He asked Ziyi and Gongzixie, "What does the master think?" ”
Ziyi pondered for a while, and said: "As far as I can see, it is better for Taishi Pan and Lord Ling Yin to each lead an army and attack the Qunshu countries separately, and besides, we can't be too benevolent to them, we must let those traitorous countries know what the end of betrayal will be!" Otherwise, hum ......"
Ziyi deliberately emphasized the word betrayal, and when he spoke, he also looked around at the ministers in the palace, and the warning in those words was very obvious.
"Dr. Zhong is very intelligent and very popular with the king, Dr. Zhong, what do you mean? If you weigh the weight, you should know the weight. Pan Chong said gloomily.
Zhong Wuregret knew that what Pan Chong said was alluding to the heavy money he was giving, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you Taishi for your attention, I also think that it is better for Lord Ling Yin and Taishi Pan to lead an army." ”
"No!" One person spoke strongly against it, and Zhong Wuregret looked at it, and it turned out that Si Yu was able to stand up.
He said to the king of Chu: "Pan Chong was canonized as a prince by King Mu because he led the guards into the palace and helped King Mu ascend the throne, and he was in charge of the Yin of the ring column, and his power was limited to the control of the forbidden army. As he spoke, he was able to point to the clock without regrets, and his eyes were angry.
All the ministers know that being capable is an allusion to Pan Chong's meritorious service in killing the monarch in the palace, so he was canonized as a prince, but because of his viciousness, he can't be allowed to take charge of the army now, otherwise, it may be unfavorable to the Chu State.
Pan Chong was furious when he heard this.
Zhong Wuregret is a close minister of the king, and the king of Chu almost obeys his words, Zhong Wuregret said this, which means that the king of Chu agrees with Pan Chong's decision to lead the army, which has become the tenth **. Seeing that his wish was about to come true, who knows, Si Defeat, an old guy who doesn't know how to lift, objected to it, and even mocked him in public for killing the king, telling him how not to be angry.
However, before Pan Chong could speak out, someone had already spoken.
"Hehe, who's the whore? Can a man have children if he is not adulterous? Zhong Wuxian said with a wicked smile.
As soon as these words came out, a burst of snickering broke out in the court, if it weren't for the presence of the King of Chu, I am afraid that the roof of the hall would be overturned by laughter.
"You!" The capable old face was so red that he couldn't say a word of anger. It is also strange that this excellent prison magistrate who can speak well is deflated every time he meets Zhong Wuregret.
"It is true that Taishi Pan is only in charge of the forbidden army, but when is it now, it is an extraordinary period for the Chu State. The first king had just died, and the new king did not understand national politics, and in the event of a sudden rebellion, the Taishi led the army to the expedition, as long as it was beneficial to the Chu State, it was not impossible. Every time I do that thing with you Meiji, you are on top and she is down, in case one day you are not feeling well, is she on top and you are down? If there is none, it will be practiced, and if there is, it will be developed. Don't stick to anything, development is the last word! Zhong Wuregret said confidently.
The ministers in the court, when they heard such a ridiculous theory, many of them also turned red, but they were not shy, but they were choked by uncontrollable laughter.
Many honest people who can only "dog-planing" will want to go home immediately to experience this kind of thing when they hear this. Those merry ministers thought of being able to go up and down, and they were also excited about their flexibility.
Able to roll his eyes in anger, he couldn't say a word.
"Relieve your anger!" Pan Chong was very happy at this time, this heavy gift was really sent to the right way, but he didn't expect that this lewd thief could also use the things on the bed for the court.
It's true, "Adulterous thieves are not terrible, what is terrible is that adulterous thieves are cultured!" ”
The king of Chu was also too lazy to listen to the courtiers' disputes at this time, he yawned and said lazily: "It's so decided!" Pan Taishi and Ling Yin each led an army and attacked the Qunshu kingdoms separately. ”
"Taishi Pan and Ling Yin led the army to the expedition, but the safety of the royal city is also very important, and the king is also asked to give an order." There is a minister who plays.
"It's easy, the king's master is like a fart in the quilt - you can smell (Wen) and cover (Wu), they are the most suitable to protect the royal city." As soon as Zhong Wuregret's words came out, the king of Chu took the lead in laughing, the king of Chu laughed, and the ministers couldn't bear it anymore, and they all laughed.
The solemnity of the entire court was swept away by laughter for the first time in history.
Although Ziyi and Gongzixie were dissatisfied with Zhong Wuregret's statement, they also laughed at it because they had obtained the real power of city defense.
"That's it, retreat!" The king of Chu said.
This arrangement, in addition to Cheng Jia's dissatisfaction, Pan Taishi, Ziyi and Gongzi Xie all like it.
After retiring from the dynasty, Zhong Wuregret did not return to the mansion, so he was invited to the Doufu by Cheng Jia's guards.
As soon as he saw Zhong Wuregret, Cheng Jia said sternly: "Who are you trying to help?" Don't you know that Pan Chong wanted to punish and kill you and take away your wife, if it weren't for my full support, I'm afraid your family would have been ruined.
In this rebellion, according to the king's current arrangement, Pan Chong will take some military power from me, and Ziyi and Gongzixie will also take the power of city defense from me. My strength will be greatly weakened, all because of you, to be honest, how much benefit did Pan Chong, Ziyi and Gongzixie give you? ”
"It's a great wrong, but I came up with such an idea for the sake of Lord Ling Yin." Zhong Wuregret said aggrievedly.
"For my sake? You are a grace and will take revenge. The more Cheng Jia spoke, the angrier he became.
"Your Excellency is angry, listen to my slow explanation, I am arranging a plan for adults to lure the snake out of the hole!" Zhong Wuregret said.
"Lure the snake out of the hole? What kind of ploy is this? Cheng Jia deserves to be a master in the political arena, and when he heard Zhong Wuregret say this, he quickly calmed down his anger.
"My lord, please listen," and then, Zhong Wuregret told Cheng Jia his own plan.
