As soon as he heard that Chanjuan was coming, Zhong Wuregret was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Chanjuan alone?" He was really afraid of the rude blue and white princess, and he couldn't tell her the truth, and he didn't dare to tell lies, which really made Zhong Wuregret have a headache.

"It's just Miss Chanjuan." The housekeeper said

With only Chanjuan alone, Zhong Wuregret was much more relaxed, but he also secretly wondered: "The best beauty that is rare to see in this palace, why are you coming to Zhongfu so late?" Could it be that the Queen Mother has any thoughts? ”

But one thing he made clear, Chanjuan was never here to sleep with him.

When she first came to Zhongfu, Chanjuan felt very novel. She was first very interested in the tables and chairs in Zhong Wuregret's living room, she looked at Zhong Wuregret with a smile and asked, "What are these objects called, did you come up with them?" ”

Zhong Wuregret said: "Yes, this is a table and chair, people, you should always think about how to live comfortably, right?" ”

"That's not right!" Chanjuan denied it: "Scholars must be Hongyi, there is a long way to go, if you are greedy for pleasure, you will hurt your will." ”

"The girl's ice heart is high, Zhong admires. The girl came to the Zhong Mansion in person today, so she didn't come to the door for a big event, right? "I don't know why, every time in front of Chanjuan, Zhong Wuregret doesn't dare to be too joking, he is always honest.

"The queen mother said, she remembered the story you said about Saion's loss of horse, such as saying that the king is blessed to enjoy himself on weekdays, but this time the drought in Chu is extraordinary, maybe the king of Chu's pleasure will become a disaster. Urgent reports have come from all over the country like snowflakes, just because the king ignores the government and does not know that the hungry people have become thieves, plundering everywhere, and the countries are centrifuged, and they have rebelled against Chu.

The state of Chu is in danger!

The queen mother knew that the king obeyed the words of the lord, and asked Lord Zhong to take advantage of this crisis to persuade the king to cheer up, reorganize the dynasty, carry forward the last wish of the previous king, and rebuild the prestige of our Chu country. Chanjuan said sternly.

Looking at Chanjuan, who is known as the first beauty in Chu State, Zhong Wuregret is more and more in love, and he also knows that Chanjuan's literary talent is outstanding, and her ice muscles and jade bones are noble. But he pretended to ask casually: "If the king I persuade re-establish the prestige of my Chu State and dominate the Central Plains, what reward will the Queen Mother have?" ”

"There really is a day, except for the country, any rare treasure is up to you." Chanjuan said.

"You're the best treasure, can I choose you?" Zhong Wuregret said.

"Yes, for the sake of the Chu State, I can make sacrifices." Chanjuan said calmly.

"Oh my God!" Zhong Wuregret let out a painful cry in his heart: "This is like a sacrifice like sending sheep to feed tigers, how can there be any male and female ****, completely treat me as a thief!" However, he pretended to be very happy on the surface and said, "When the time comes, Miss Chanjuan, don't forget today's words." ”

Chanjuan chose silence as an answer, and at this time, Zhong Wuregret really wanted to slap herself.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancients were very honest, they believed that honesty is an important part of moral cultivation and personality composition, which is not only the foundation of a person's life, but also the foundation of the survival of a nation and a country. What's more, for a person like Chanjuan who has the quality of loyalty, cleanliness, and aspiration to the world, things related to the rise and fall of the country must be a promise. Zhong Wuregret asked Chanjuan not to forget today's words, which is undoubtedly an insult to her personality.

Zhong Wuregret hurriedly said to Chanjuan: "The girl has said so much, please have a cup of tea." ”

Chanjuan picked up the pottery cup and smelled a burst of fragrance wafting from the cup surface.

"Is this tea?" Chanjuan was surprised, took a sip, and felt that the taste was mellow and refreshing, and the aroma was long-lasting.

"This is my own carefully made tea, and the quantity is not much, but the distinguished guests come to taste it." Zhong Wuregret said with a smile: "The appearance of this tea is not good-looking, although it is light and flavorful, only by tasting it with heart, can we taste the clear, mellow, true and beautiful charm of heaven and earth from the fragrance of tea." ”

"Is this for me?" Chanjuan was very shocked, she really couldn't see through what kind of person Zhong Wuregret was. Not to mention tables and chairs, just this tea is like fairy soup for her.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, "eating the rice of detached millet, burning three and five eggs, and making tea". At that time, it was popular to drink tea, but the way to drink it at that time was to use tea as a dish and boil it as a soup. That is, after washing the fresh leaves, put them in a clay pot with water and cook them, and take them with the soup and leaves. The tea made by decoction, although bitter and astringent, but the taste is rich, the flavor and efficacy are superior, and the habit of boiling and drinking is naturally developed over time.

Zhong Wuregret's tea is made by using the Ming Dynasty invention and the modern method of stir-frying green, which is of course extremely delicious.

After Chanjuan took a few sips of tea, she said: "This girl is stupid, and it will take time to taste the clear, mellow, true and beautiful charm between heaven and earth, but it will cost Lord Zhong a lot of treasures." ”

"There's a play!" Zhong Wuregret heard Chanjuan's words after inspecting him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, he immediately flattered and said: "The girl is more comfortable to sit than to kneel, catch up with Ming'er, I'll play another Taishi chair, no, no, it's wrong, then hit a queen mother's chair, send it to the palace, and dedicate it to the queen mother." ”

Chanjuan didn't refuse, but said, "You better spend more time on the king." ”

"In addition to advising the king, is there anything else that can be done for the queen mother?" Zhong Wuregret asked.

"No, it's just that the Queen Mother is thinking about setting up a queen for the king." Chanjuan said: "You and the king often have fun, do you know what kind of woman the king likes?" ”

"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving." Zhong replied without regrets.

Chanjuan was shocked again, she was really hard to see through the person in front of her, Zhong Wuregret this person, how is this person like a mountain in the clouds, disappearing from time to time, and he never seems to show his true face, and he speaks like this, always let people guess by themselves.

Chanjuan felt as if she had to talk to him about a lot of things, but she couldn't say a word, so she had to leave in a hurry.

Just when Chanjuan came to Zhongfu, Pan's study was also plotting nervously. There were only Deng Shi and Pan Chong in the study.

Deng Shi said to Pan Chong happily: "It's really a matter of heaven, the Taishi has also learned about the emergency reports from all over the country, and the opportunity to get rid of Zhong Wuregret has come." ”

"How do you want to get rid of him?" Pan Chong asked.

Deng Shi said: "The drought in Chu is extraordinary, because all localities have been pressing and not reporting, so they don't know the seriousness of this disaster. Hunger gives birth to thieves, and now the people have no food to eat, and the place of the catastrophe is full of hungry people who are desperate to take risks, or for cowards or thieves, and now, the danger is really unbearable, and all parts of the country have flown to report to the royal city.

If it is allowed to develop, the country attached to Chu will be opposed, and the old enemy Jin State will attack, and the days of the destruction of the Chu State are numbered. Taishi knew that not long ago, the Marquis of Cai Zhuang died. This is because a few months ago, when the general of the Jin State led the upper and lower armies to attack the Cai State close to the gate of the Chu State, the Marquis of Cai Zhuang, who had been attached to Chu, resisted the Jin Dynasty on the one hand, and asked the king for help on the other, but the king turned a blind eye and was still in the palace all day long.

As a result, Cai Du fell, and the Marquis of Cai Zhuang was forced to sign an alliance under the city, and died of grief and anger because of the loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Now, the state of Chu is like a dangerous egg, the king is so lascivious and happy, ignoring the government and politics, he will definitely not go to the land of disaster relief. We persecuted the king, and sent out the king's close retainer, Zhong Wuregret, to go to the disaster relief on behalf of the king.

In my opinion, this great drought is beyond the power of manpower. The prostitute does not change his lustful nature, and the disaster relief is not effective, the master thinks about it, how much power can be used? ”

"Hungry people, thieves, chivalrous people, ministers who worry about the country, Panfu, courtiers." Pan Chong came out one by one.

"The Pan Mansion can't be counted, only the soldiers of the government who made Yin Dou Yuejiao, and the righteous people who hate the government." Deng Shi added.

"Not bad, not bad." Pan Chong knew what he meant when he heard it.

"The strongest clan soldiers in Pan Mansion pretended to be Dou Yuejiao's government soldiers and thieves, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Zhong Wuregret, and then Zuo Er and Zhuo Er could be sent to lobby chivalrous people, asking them to eliminate traitors for the country and the people, this time, I want to see how many lives Zhong Wuregret has come back." Deng Shi said confidently.

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I should push Zhong Wuregret to go to disaster relief." Pan Chong said.

At the court meeting the next day, when the kings of Chu were yawning one after another, Pan Chong proposed a quick disaster relief. This recital was supported by almost all the courtiers.

At this time, some old ministers finally found an opportunity to criticize the king of Chu for only having fun and ignoring national affairs, so that evil trends prevailed in the court and the people complained.

The early king of Chu was still dazed at this time, and he became angry when he heard it, saying: "The body is mine, the country is mine, and the society is also mine, I can have fun as much as I like, and no one will come to me, otherwise there will be no mercy." ”

Hearing this, Pan Chong and Dou Yuejiao were secretly happy in their hearts. Pan Chong thought more and more that Zhong Wuregret had hidden great strength, and bewitching the King of Chu was the same as himself, he had great ambitions for power, and he also strengthened his determination to cut off Zhong Wuregret.

So, Pan Chong immediately refuted the old minister, saying that the king of Chu was young and it was normal to neglect national politics. He immediately raised the issue of sending people for disaster relief, and strongly recommended Zhong Wuregret to go.

At that time, most of the people who could speak at the court meeting were high-ranking people with real power, and the doctors generally just listened to other people's discussions, and obeyed orders when needed. For young or low-status officials, casual remarks would be considered disrespectful and detrimental to their future.

When Dou Yuejiao heard this, he also agreed, because he had not been in power for a long time, and many things still had to be dealt with, as long as he did not leave the royal city, it would be the same for anyone to go. Since the two powerful figures said it, the other courtiers seconded it.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the policy decision-making method of various countries was that the ministers first discussed and finally judged the monarch, and it was not as autocratic as the later feudal dynasties.

The king of Chu was not happy when he heard this, he didn't know the risk of going to disaster relief, and he asked to send other ministers because Zhong Wuregret wanted to have fun with him.

Who knew that Zhong Wuregret smiled and asked to go to the disaster relief below, but his reason made those old ministers and upright ministers almost mad.

Zhong Wuregret asked the king of Chu: "I am willing to go to the disaster relief for the king, because there are still few slaves and maids in the mansion, and in the year of famine, the price of buying a maid is much lower than usual, which is equivalent to buying one and getting three free."

Weichen went to the disaster relief, firstly, to relieve the king's worries, secondly, to solve the problem of lack of manpower in the house, and thirdly, to save the lives of dozens of Chu beauties, such a good thing, why not? ”

Moreover, Zhong Wuregret also proposed that the silver two for disaster relief would go with him, as long as Dou Yuejiao sent a team to escort him.

After listening to Zhong Wuregret's words, the ministers thought that he was either stupid or crazy. In the land of great calamity, robbers are rampant, carrying such a large sum of silver taels, isn't it like a large flock of sheep walking on the grassland, looking for evil wolves?

The ministers sighed one after another, wondering which thieves this precious batch of disaster relief silver would be given to. When encountering such a lewd thief and an idiot to go to disaster relief, it would be considered a blessing for the state of Chu not to cause chaos in the place of catastrophe.

In the court, only Pan Chong didn't think so. He had learned Zhong Wuregret's shrewdness many times, and he wondered what Zhong Wuregret's purpose was in doing this.

"Does he want to steal the money?" Pan Chong suddenly had an idea: "Only he really knows the precise daily itinerary and storage of this silver tael, he can completely let his private soldiers pretend to be thieves and rob this batch of silver taels. No wonder he asked Dou Yuejiao to send troops to escort him. Thinking of this, Pan Chong suddenly realized.

However, Zhong Wuregret also provided himself with an opportunity to do so, as soon as he left the royal city, Zhong Wuregret would quickly fly in all directions with the news of the disaster relief silver, not to mention the robbers in the affected land, maybe even thieves from other countries would be attracted.

The more people who come, the better, so that the soldiers of Pan Mansion pretend to be thieves or robbers, even if they miss, they will not think that they are from Pan Mansion.

"Zhong has no regrets, Zhong has no regrets, I didn't expect that you were smart this time but you were mistaken by being smart." Pan Chong's heart was full of pride, and he was determined to let Zhong Wuregret taste the bitterness this time, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart. (To be continued.) )
