Zhang Xiaomei hanged herself in her room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBy the time the other maids found out, it was too late.

Zhong Wuregret was lying on Cao Yun'e's lap, his mood was extremely low, and he said to Cao Yun'e: "Originally, Zhang Xiaomei was going to Zhongfu, just an expedient measure to protect her sister and brother, as soon as Pan Chong died, I was trying to send her back to reunite with my sister and brother, but I didn't expect her to commit suicide." ”

Cao Yun'e stroked Zhong Wuregret's hair, looked at him with regret and said, "Husband is really kind-hearted, but you don't understand Zhang Xiaomei's thoughts. She has given everything for her brother, and she lives to endure humiliation.

You saved her and his brother, but she did not hesitate to be a traitor for Pan Chong for his brother, although it did not cause great harm to Zhongfu, but the guilt in her heart made her uneasy day and night. Now, she has her revenge, and her younger brother is on an errand under capable men, and she has nothing to worry about.

If she hadn't lost her body, she might have thought of repaying herself, but she was already the **** of Pan's Mansion, she felt filthy, and the burden of her heart had forced her to be uncomfortable for a moment. Don't blame yourself too much. ”

Hearing Cao Yun'e say this, Zhong Wuregret's mood was slightly soothed, he thought about it, and still asked Cao Yun'e: "If someone says that the Queen Mother wants to kill me, how true do you think this is?" ”

Hearing this, Cao Yun'e was also taken aback and said: "Ziying has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has a deep understanding of all kinds of treacherous schemes in the palace, why don't you invite her over to answer her husband's doubts." ”

"That's right!" A sentence reminded Zhong Wuregret, he hurriedly invited Ziying to come over, and the three of them locked up in the room together to discuss.

After hearing Zhong Wuregret's question, Ziying said: "There is this possibility, the things in the palace are unfathomable, not as thorough as the ordinary people can see, and the things in the palace are so dirty that people can't imagine, I think, the person who said this must be a powerful person." ”

"Yes, it was Pan Chong who said it." Zhong Wuregret said honestly.

Hearing this, Cao Yun'e was taken aback, but Ziying was very calm, Ziying said: "The battles in the palace are nothing more than for power and profit, but there are more battles for power."

said that the queen mother wanted to kill her husband, depending on when, if the queen mother was afraid that her husband would teach the king badly, ignore the state affairs, and let the royal power fall, it is normal to want to kill the husband. Husband, think about it, before you bring down Pan Chong, how many upright ministers can't wait for you to die.

However, if the Queen Mother still thinks like this now, things will be extraordinary. There are still many things that no one knows about behind the power in the palace, so it is better for the husband to be careful.

I was tired of this life of intrigue and deceit in the palace, and I happened to meet my favorite husband again, so I followed my husband to Chu without hesitation. ”

"I've wronged you so much!" Zhong Wuregret felt a little guilty.

Zi Ying smiled lightly, looking at Zhong Wuregret's flattering eyes like flames, which suddenly ignited the passion of Zhong Wuregret's little brother.

Zi Ying's mouth curled, and she said coquettishly: "Husband is talking nonsense again!" When I arrived at Zhongfu, I lived a carefree life with my sisters, and I didn't know how much happier I was in the palace. If my father wants me to marry a toad in the palace, I don't have to marry him. Where is it like now, the joy of life, especially the happiness that my husband gave me, I think the gods are nothing more than that. ”

"It's over, it's over!" Looking at Zi Ying's affection, with endless tenderness in his eyes, Zhong Wuregret covered his lower abdomen in pain, and secretly thought: "Before the big things that affect the lives of the whole house, the big things are important!" Big things matter! ”

Cao Yun'e didn't know what Zhong Wuregret needed most now, but she was still very calm when it came to major events.

"Husband is so anxious, is he worried about King Chu?" Cao Yun'e in a word.

"Yes, if the Queen Mother wants to kill me as Pan Chong said, at least, she will have a period of time to arrange, but what I am most worried about is whether the King of Chu will also be involved, if there is the intention of the King of Chu, I am afraid that the Zhong Mansion will have a disaster." Zhong said worriedly.

"King Chu won't!" Zi Ying said indifferently.

"Why?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

"Everyone knows that the husband has no authoritarian ambitions, nor does he have the arrogance of being arrogant, but he is dedicated to the people of Chu, and the king of Chu will not be ignorant. The husband is worried that the merit is high, and the catastrophe is coming. However, everything the husband did was for the prestige of the king of Chu, and the king of Chu would never kill the heroes when the king's power was first stabilized. Because, in comparison, the threat of the Douyue Jiaoruo Ao family is a greater threat to the throne of the King of Chu.

Because, the Ruo Ao family was originally a branch of the royal family," Zi Ying talked eloquently.

Zhong Wuregret hugged Ziying and kissed him fiercely: "This is really a fan of the authorities, fortunately I have my good wife." ”

At this time, Cao Yun'e continued: "Didn't the husband say that there is a talented woman named Chanjuan next to the Queen Mother? Why don't you go and ask her? All talented women generally respect talented men, if the queen mother has murderous intent, at least she can vaguely reveal a little meaning. ”

Zhong Wuregret recalled that the last time Chanjuan came to Zhongfu alone to persuade Zhong Wuregret, he had said that the king of persuasion rebuilt the prestige of the Chu State and dominated the Central Plains, and the treasure that the Queen Mother asked for was Chanjuan.

Because Chanjuan said that for the sake of the Chu State, she can make sacrifices. It's just that these words of memorial like sending sheep to feed tigers stimulated Zhong Wuregret and made him feel bored, so he never saw Chanjuan, and now, he had to go to the Queen Mother to pretend to ask Chanjuan and probe the wind.

That night, Zhong Wuregret didn't mess around with his wives and concubines like usual, but was quiet, and the passionate Hezi Ying and Cao Yun'e spread their wings and flew together.

Zhang Xiaomei's death has always been difficult for him to let go. Especially when Zhang Xiaomei accused Pan Chong's crime with blood and tears on stage, her delicate, helpless, melancholy and sad figure always lingered in Zhong Wuregret's brain and did not go for a long time.

It was Zhang Xiaomei's weakness that made the people hate Pan Chong even more, and immediately set off a frenzy of hatred. made Zhong Wuregret's planning better than expected.

The next day, Zhong Wuregret got up early and went to the morning court.

The king of Chu committed suicide to kill Pan Chong, and after the return of royal power, he immediately threw away all the bells and drums and instruments, disbanded the band, and sent musicians, kabuki, and dancing girls to go to the court every day and be diligent in political affairs.

In the main hall, the king of Chu asked again: "Is there a good plan for the barbarians to commit Chu?" ”

A minister said: "I have not yet completely passed the famine in Dachu, and the current internal troubles have just been eliminated, and I am worried that the army's morale will be unstable, so I think it is better to avoid it for a while." ”

"However, the mediocre people are handsome and rebellious, and the elk people lead a hundred Pu to gather in the election, and they will cut down Chu, how can I avoid Chu for a while?" Another minister said.

Another old minister said: "The elk people led a hundred Pu to gather in the election, and it is only more than two hundred miles away from the king's capital, and now, we have no strength to resist the enemy, so I think it is better to move the capital." ”

"Yongguo took the lead in the rebellion, and Shanyi attacked the southwest border of Great Chu, the momentum is very huge, and it has connected several cities and entered the Chu realm, I think we should mobilize troops, build a high city, and defend the royal capital." Another minister said.

"At the beginning, King Wu of Zhou raised troops to attack the army, and Yong led the eight countries such as Lu, Peng, and Pu to obey each other with troops. At present, Yongguo is still under the command of many small subordinate states such as Yi, Yu, Kui, etc., and its army is good at war, and the edge is sharp, so we should only take refuge for the time being, first move the capital to Hangao, prepare for war there, and wait until the enemy army is tired, and we will fight again. A minister said.

"You can't move the capital! This strategy is not appropriate, we can go, and the enemy can go. Besides, there are so many people in the royal city, can they outrun the barbarians who run in the mountains and mountains all day long? During the period when the king of Chu endured, Su Cong, the doctor who had scolded the king of Chu, expressed his resolute opposition to moving the capital.

"What Dr. Su said is reasonable." Wu Ju, a doctor who once supported the people in the township school, said: "The group is cruel, and the king moves the capital, which is tantamount to sending the people of Chu into the wolf's mouth." Instead of passively avoiding it, it is better to take the initiative to attack the mediocre country, and the enemy will be afraid to see that we can still send troops despite the famine. ”

At the court meeting, the most powerful Dou Yuejiao and Zhong Wuregret both chose not to say a word.

At this time, the ministers who moved the capital and did not move the capital quarreled. The king of Chu did not say a word, and quietly listened to the quarrel of the ministers.

Listening to it, Dou Yuejiao seemed to have a feeling of impatience, and he said irreverently and loudly: "Move anything, isn't it just a few barbarian soldiers, what's so scary?" The king has given me his army, and there is no need for me to go out, so that one of his generals can drive these barbarians back to their lair. ”

When listening to Dou Yuejiao, Zhong Wuregret and King Chu looked at each other, and there were too many things in that eye, Zhong Wuregret also understood in an instant, if the Queen Mother wanted to kill him, there was absolutely no intention of King Chu, because he and King Chu had already seen that as soon as Pan Chonggang died, Dou Yuejiao had already revealed all the arrogance in his eyes, and he probably thought that now in the court, there is no one who can compete with the Ruo Ao family, and the time has come for him to dictate.

As soon as Dou Yuejiao said, all the ministers stopped arguing, and the hall quieted down.

"Ling Yin's courage is commendable, and I also agree with the First World War, what does Doctor Zhong think?" The king of Chu said.

"I think we have to fight, but it's better to come up with the best strategy and try to make a difference." Zhong Wuregret said.

Hearing Zhong Wuregret's words, Dou Yuejiao snorted coldly: "By the time Doctor Zhong formulates the best strategy, I'm afraid that the royal city will already be in ashes, right?" I will send the general to lead the army to destroy the enemy tomorrow, and the king will wait for good news in the royal city. How's it going, King? ”

The King of Chu smiled bitterly and said, "Since Ling Yin is so sure, hurry up and order the army to go out." ”

In this way, the entire early dynasty ended in a few words of Dou Yuejiao.

After the early dynasty, Dou Yuejiao was busy dividing his troops and sending generals, and the king of Chu asked Zhong Wuregret to come to his study.

"What do you think are the chances of winning this trip?" King Chu asked.

Zhong Wuregret said affirmatively: "There is no chance of winning." ”

"Why is Brother Zhong so sure?" In private, the king of Chu still calls Zhong Wuregret a brother.

"Think about it, the armies of Chu and Qin fought against Yong, did they lose more or win more?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

King Chu shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

"Haven't won a single time!" Zhong Wuregret said: "Yong and Lu are influential powers in the Hanshui Valley. It has a prominent position in the Baipu tribal alliance in the mountainous areas of western Hubei Province. In fact, they control the leadership of the Baipu tribe. King Wu fought against the Emperor, and Baipu participated in the war with Yong and Lu as the main force.

Moreover, the founding history of Yongguo has been more than 1,000 years, and it has continuity and stability. Yongguo is rich in hardware and has advanced bronze technology, which means that their swords and armor are not inferior to any country. Yong is Qin to the north, Chu to the southeast, and Ba to the southwest, and is at the intersection of major powers. If they had been defeated so easily, they would have perished a long time ago. ”

"In this way, Dou Yue Jiao will definitely lose?" King Chu asked.

Zhong Wuregret nodded: "I hope he can win the battle, but I think he will definitely lose, so we must be prepared for emergencies, this time to start a war against Yongguo, if you don't fight, you must defeat it completely." ”

"Brother Zhong has a good plan?" King Chu asked.

"I think that it is absolutely difficult to defeat Yong with the strength of Chu alone, you must know that when Chu was still relatively weak, Yong was already one of the larger Fang countries. In order to defeat the Yongguo, I believe that it is necessary to unite several countries to eliminate the Yongguo! ”

Then, Zhong Wuregret said his thoughts. (To be continued.) )
