At this time, Zhong Wuregret, who was arguing fiercely with the ministers in the Qin Palace, was not like an envoy, but more like a loyal minister who planned hegemony for the Qin State. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

General Xu Da suddenly knelt down to Kang Gong and said: "Weichen asks for his life, I am willing to lead the army to attack Yongguo, I swear on behalf of Qin Guoerlang, I am willing to shed blood for Qin, and I also ask the king to order to attack Yongguo, and then show the majesty of the three armies of my Qin division." ”

"Good! Quasi-play! "Under the decision of Kang Gong, the Qin State finally decided to send troops to attack the Yong State!

Zhong Wuregret finally completed the mission of the Qin State, and as soon as he returned to the inn, he immediately called Yang Youji and the guards to prepare to return to China.

After the early dynasty, the king of Qin returned to the study, and his mood was still not calm for a long time, and Zhong Wuregret's thorough analysis was too tempting, which made him ambitious and had the urge to march into the Central Plains for hegemony.

"I made the decision to attack Yongguo, what does the right chief think?" King Qin asked Ju Song, the chief of the right house.

"The king's decision is extremely wise!" Ju Song said: "However, there is one thing that I am really difficult to decide. ”

"What's the matter?" King Qin asked.

"The envoy of Chu State, Zhong Wu, was called the first thief of Chu by the people of Chu, but it was this thief who cleared out political enemies for the king of Chu one by one, and finally helped the king of Chu win the throne.

The king thinks about it, when the king of Chu first ascended the throne, he was just a kid who was not as weak as the crown. Except for the beautiful musicians in the court, he had neither ministers nor soldiers. And his masters, Gongzi Xie and Ziyi, Taishi Pan Chong, and Ling Yin Chengjia, none of them were old ministers who had been immersed in the palace for decades, but they were all defeated in the hands of this prostitute.

This bell has no regrets, it's not simple! Just by his broad remarks in the main hall, you can see that he is a great talent! That's what I'm worried about and hard to decide. Ju Song said.

"Do you mean to say that once he becomes an enemy of the Qin State, it will be a disaster for us?" As soon as Ju Song said it, King Qin knew his intentions.

"I want the king to feast Zhong Wuregret, and then give him a heavy gift, and try to get him to defect to the Qin State for my use." Jusong Road.

"If he refuses to serve the Qin State, will he try to kill him on his way back home?" King Qin asked. Anything that might be a danger to his royal power will be removed without sparing any effort.

"This time, the state of Chu has no regrets, and the plan to destroy Yong is likely to succeed, and both the state of Chu and our country of Qin are very profitable, and the country of Ba is no exception." Ju Song said.

"Pakistan?" King Qin was a little surprised.

"After the early dynasty, Zhong Wuregret only told me about it, and I only knew. His strategy is to besiege Yongguo on three sides, and if Zhong Wuregret is eliminated now, it is doubtful whether the plan to destroy Yong will succeed, so that we may be defeated in the attack on Yongguo, and the reputation of the king and I will be tarnished. That's why I have a hard time deciding. ”

After Ju Song finished speaking, both the monarch and the minister fell into silence.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Gong suddenly asked: "Is it a temporary plan or a long-term strategy for us to join forces with Chu to resist Jin now?" ”

Ju Song thought about it for a while and said, "I think it's still difficult to determine. Today, the state of Chu is besieged by barbarians and is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it may be a last resort to attack Yongguo with us.

I heard Zhong Wuregret say that after pacifying the Yongguo, he would attack Jin and go to the worries, so he was tempted to send troops to attack the Yongguo, if the Chu State is really like Zhong Wuregret said, attacking the Jin State, to repay the humiliation of the first battle of Chengpu, and the joint Chu to resist the Jin Dynasty can be described as the best national policy of our country.

However, if the Chu State wants to dominate the Central Plains, and the Qin State also wants to advance eastward to dominate, in the end, the two countries will inevitably become enemies, and the Central Plains will not allow the two powers to dominate? Therefore, it is still difficult for Weichen to decide. ”

"In that case, let's wait until we destroy Yongguo, and then try to kill Zhong Wuregret?" King Qin said.

"After the tiger is released and returned to the mountain, it will be difficult to hunt the tiger again." Ju Song said.

"Let's first promise Zhong Wuregret a lot of money and official position, plus a beautiful woman, to see if we can keep him, isn't Zhong Wuregret the number one thief in Chu State? I don't believe that he is not moved in front of the beauties of the Qin Kingdom? King Qin said confidently.

Ju Song smiled and said: "High-ranking officials can try, but when it comes to beauties, it may be difficult for ordinary women to impress Zhong Wuregret, he has the name of a thief, but he is by no means an ordinary womanizer. I think that he can get the reputation of the number one lewd thief in the Chu State because his obscenity is unparalleled. ”

"Lewdness?" Ju Song's remark also aroused the curiosity of King Qin.

"What he taught with his children, unheard of, in addition to what theoretical learning, there are thirty-six styles, seventy-two postures, one hundred and eight sets of stunts, etc., as far as I am concerned, this person's lewd skills are unmatched, can be called the world's first lewd master. Think about it, can an ordinary woman get into his eyes? After Ju Song finished speaking, he shook his head.

"So, what should I do?" King Qin asked.

"The minister didn't dare to say it." Ju Song replied with trepidation.

"If you dare to say anything, I forgive you." King Qin said.

Ju Song said: "If the king really wants to recruit Zhong Wuregret, he might as well give a heavy gift first, and Zhong Wuregret will not accept it, then he can use the beauty trick to force him to comply." ”

"How do you force him to comply?"

"The princess of the king is twenty-eight years old, beautiful and intelligent, if you use her as bait, you can't help but regret it." Then, Ju Song muttered his plan in King Qin's ear.

After thinking about it again, King Qin agreed to Ju Song's arrangement.

Zhong Wuregret and his entourage were packing up in the inn, preparing to leave early the next morning. At this time, someone came to report that the right chief Ju Song came to visit.

After Ju Song saw Zhong Wuregret, he asked his subordinates to carry a box. After Ju Song shouted to retreat left and right, he opened the box in front of Zhong Wuregret, which was full of yellow gold and colorful jewels.

Ju Song said to Zhong Wuregret: "Your analysis in the early dynasty was extremely thorough. The king of Qin respects you as a rare talent, and wants to keep you in the Qin country and serve by the king's side, as long as you agree, these gold jewels are all yours, and the king will worship you as a doctor and give you a title. I don't know what Lord Zhong thinks? ”

Zhong Wuregret smiled slightly and said, "Thank you King Qin for your kindness, it's just that I am determined to serve the Chu State, and I have no chance to enjoy these treasures, and I have failed the kindness of King Qin, and I also ask Lord Ju to apologize on my behalf." ”

Ju Song didn't say much, only said "Okay" twice, and then asked his subordinates to carry the box away.

"Lord Zhong's words in the court, people suddenly, but also aroused the king's ambition, in order to express gratitude, tonight the king will set up a banquet in the palace to entertain Lord Zhong, when the time comes, someone will come to invite, Lord Zhong just came to be a little sluggish, but also please Lord Zhong do not keep it in mind." Ju Song said to Zhong Wuregret.

Zhong Wuregret shook Ju Song and said, "I just came here, there were many misunderstandings, and I ask my lord to forgive me for my unintentional mistakes." ”

The two broke up in politeness.

Ju Song walked for a while, and a luxurious carriage came to the inn and stopped, and the general's daughter Xu Jin and a woman in palace clothes got out of the car.

After seeing Zhong Wuregret, Xu Jin pushed Zhong Wuregret in front of the woman in palace clothes and said, "See it clearly, he is alone, and he beat the soldiers found by my brother to the ground." ”

Zhong Wuregret looked at the palace woman in front of him. I saw that her head was knotted in a bun, luxurious and graceful, her eyebrows were picturesque, her hair was like clouds, the pearl behind her ears, the bracelet around her wrist, and the gorgeousness of her brocade robe, which was so beautiful that she was a little dizzy.

"This is ......," Zhong Wuregret asked Xu Jin.

"This is my good sister, Princess Shaohua." Xu Jin said: "I told the princess that you were a weak scholar, but when you defeated more than a dozen strong soldiers by yourself, she still didn't believe it, thinking that you were a wide-mouthed, fanged, and wild Di barbarian. Now you can see it clearly, isn't it what I said? ”

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly said: "I don't know that the princess has arrived, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." ”

Xu Jin laughed when he heard this, slapped Zhong Wuregret on the shoulder, and said: "Don't pretend, who doesn't know that you are not afraid of heaven and earth, in the court, in front of King Qin, you talk loudly, and treat it as if no one is there." It's going to be a gentleman. ”

Princess Shaohua lightly opened her lips and said, "Sister Xu Jin and I came out to play, listening to what she said was interesting, by the way, come and see, Lord Zhong doesn't have to be too polite." ”

"That's good, I'm most afraid of complicated etiquette, it's a headache to remember these etiquette all day long, I don't know if those ministers will sleep until midnight, and get up from the bed to make a big salute when they dream." Zhong Wuregret said.

Princess Shaohua smiled lightly and said, "Doesn't Lord Zhong teach etiquette in the Chu State?" ”

"Etiquette is the most basic moral norm that people are required to abide by in order to maintain the normal operation of society, which is gradually formed by people in long-term common life and mutual interactions, and is fixed in the form of customs, habits and traditions. Therefore, normal etiquette cannot be avoided, but complicated etiquette is deadly.

For example: if you have a meal with the king, the king will give you tea, and you must kneel and prostrate; The master of ceremonies gives tea, to knock, after the tea is drunk, and to kneel and knock, to the king before the toast, three kneels and nine knocks, pour wine, return to the position, after drinking, all have to kneel and knock, after the banquet, and have to kneel and bow thanks, in order to wait for the king to return to the palace. After eating a meal, kneel thirty-three times and bow ninety-nine times. I'd rather go hungry for three days and three nights than go to a banquet like this. Zhong Wuregret said.

"Wow! Where is there such a cumbersome etiquette, don't you just say this when you heard that King Qin is going to invite you, right? Xu Jin said.

"Where, just talk. I just like to be independent and do gregarious things. Zhong Wuregret was a little embarrassed.

In fact, the etiquette that Zhong Wuregret said was the red tape of the feudal society at its peak in later generations, and it was not so complicated in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the atmosphere of the Qin State was open, which was better than that of the Chu State.

At this time, Princess Shaohua changed the topic and said: "Someone has already told me what Lord Zhong said in the court, Lord Zhong has never been to the Qin Kingdom, and I don't know why Lord Zhong has such a thorough insight into the situation in the Qin Kingdom." ”

"Don't hide it from the princess, I take the world as my own responsibility, and I will naturally understand the Qin State from all aspects, the princess can know that scholars don't go out, and they know everything about the world. Although I have never been to the Qin State, I am familiar with the Qin State. Even the fact that the princess is the most beautiful princess in the Qin Kingdom, I know. Zhong Wuregret said.

Looking at such a beautiful princess Shaohua, his nonsense must be inseparable.

Princess Shaohua's face flushed, but she could see that she was very happy with Zhong Wuregret's praise in her heart.

Princess Shaohua said: "However, as far as the affairs of our Qin State are concerned, even many of our ministers of the Qin State are not as thorough as Lord Zhong!" ”

"Does the princess know that the grass is far away but does not say this? There are some things that you have to keep a distance to see, so that you can see more clearly, there is a way: I don't know the true face of the famous mountain, only because I am in the famous mountain, and the truth lies in this. As a native of Chu, of course, I see the Qin State more clearly than the Qin people. Zhong Wuregret said.

Princess Shaohua became more and more fond of Zhong Wuregret's intelligence, and the more she and Zhong Wuregret talked, the more speculative they became.

"From my lord's point of view, which country should be the one who will chase the Central Plains in the future?" Princess Shaohua asked.

"Qin State!" Zhong Wuregret said without hesitation: "Not only the Central Plains, but also the one who will dominate the world in the future must be the Qin State." So, I shouted in the court that it was a pity. ”

Princess Shaohua was taken aback and said, "Just now you said that you take the world as your own responsibility, since this is the case, why didn't Lord Zhong come to Qin to assist the King of Qin, but to assist the King of Chu?" ”

"Human life is too short, and I can only assist the king of Chu in my lifetime, because I can't see the time when the Qin State will dominate the world." Zhong Wuregret said, unconsciously revealing a sad emotion.

The deep sorrow in his eyes made Princess Shaohua's heart tremble. She seemed to have forgotten her noble identity, and stroked Zhong Wuregret's face with both hands and said, "Is this what makes you so sad?" (To be continued.) )
