According to the results of Fan Li's divination, King Wu did not deserve to die.

And the condition begins to lessen on the day of Jisi, and he will be completely cured on the day of Renshen, which is the result of the hexagram and the will of God.

From this result, Fan Li seems to see a glimmer of life. If you take advantage of King Wu's illness to play the sad card and win the mercy of King Wu, King Wu's illness this time will have a different value, and the opportunity is rare for the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom in distress.

Fan Li must take advantage of this opportunity, perhaps, whether the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom can return with their whole body depends on how they grasp the opportunity and take advantage of the opportunity. After all, there are indeed too few opportunities to be used by the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom.

King Wu, who is sick, is the most fragile in his heart, and he also needs warmth; At the same time, he is also the most merciful.

After making up his mind, Fan Li discussed with Gou Jian: "The minister learned that King Wu's condition will improve, and this opportunity cannot be wasted. If the king seizes this opportunity and does a good job, isn't this a strategy to save himself? ”

Gou Jian also knew that as long as King Wu could be cured, with Bo Yao's 'theory of good fortune and misfortune' first, at least he would not have to worry about his life.

"As long as King Wu is cured, he will naturally not kill the widow again. The general thinks that there is still something to be done about this matter? ”

"Of course!" Fan Li looked at Gou Jian, who was sitting on the beam, pointed to the big bird hovering in the sky, and said:

"The ambition of the bird is to have a free sky. See, my lord, in the south, there is also such a sky that once belonged to us. Doesn't the king want to return home? ”

Gou Jian also looked up at the big bird strolling idly, and sighed: "The widow's life is still difficult to protect. Where do you dare to think about it! ”

Fan Li stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth. After a long time, he said: "The minister thinks that if this matter is done well, not only will the king's life be worry-free, but also he will receive a better effect, perhaps out of the benevolence of the king of Wu's wife, maybe the king of Wu will pardon us and others, and it is unknown if he will allow us to return to the country." ”

Gou Jian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "If this is really the case, if the general has any good plans, he might as well say it and listen to it." ”

"The minister has a plan. The king can give it a try, but this plan is beyond the reach of ordinary people! ”

Gou Jian's face darkened, and he locked his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that the widow is not worthy of the general's plan?" ”

Fan Li hurriedly said: "Since the minister has asked the hexagram, it has been completed. Moreover, he knows a little about medical pathology. Whether King Wu's condition has improved or not can naturally be seen from his diet, mental outlook, and excrement. The king entered the palace on the pretext of visiting the sick, and then looked at its color and tasted its dung. Prophesy to King Wu about the period of recovery. So. King Wu will definitely feel the loyalty of the king, and there will be great hope for the king to return to the country. ”

Gou Jian was stunned at first, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Although the widow is in prison today, he can't do this!" The widow was once lonely in the south, did he have to suffer this humiliation? ”

Fan Li lowered his head and sighed: "Tasting human feces is naturally a dirty and humiliating thing. But as a loser, today he has become a prisoner of others, enduring humiliation and burdening the world of the country, which is more important. Please think for yourself, the king. ”

Gou Jian said stupidly: "Does it have to be like this? ”

Fan Li said: "In the past, the king imprisoned Xibo in the Jinli and killed Xibo's son Bo Yi Kao. He made a meat sauce and gave it to Seb, so that he could eat his son's flesh with his own mouth. Although Xibo knew that he was in the middle, he could only endure humiliation and sorrow, and eat his son's meat sauce in exchange for the forgiveness of the king. In the end, with the efforts of two generations, he killed the king and destroyed the great merchants. A person who wants to do big things must be informal.

King Wu originally had the intention of pardoning us, but because of the soldiers' obstruction, King Wu changed his mind. King Wu has the benevolence of a woman but not the decision of a husband, if the king does not play the card of sorrow, how can he achieve his goal? ”

Gou Jian was silent, for Fan Li's suggestion, Gou Jian was extremely repulsive. Fan Li, as his own thinker and strategist, put forward such a strategy, which not only made him lose face, but also left history for future generations to laugh at.

Gou Jian sat on the crossbar in front of the door and saw a group of newly hatched chicks, dressed in golden fluff, stumbling with the hens.

In order to improve her life, Queen Fengyi raised chickens and ducks, as well as a lamb.

Gou Jian kicked up a stone, and the stone flew over accurately, so frightened that the hen and the chicks fled in panic.

Half a day, Gou Jiancai said: "The widow visited King Wu's illness and said that it is enough to express our loyalty during the recovery period, do you have to taste dung?" ”

Fan Li shook his head and said: "When the king enters the palace, if he visits King Wu with ordinary courtesy, how can he impress him and let him appreciate the king's fierce loyalty?" Therefore, the minister proposed to touch King Wu with this detail of tasting dung, so as to get King Wu's sympathy. ”

Gou Jian saw that Fan Li was so stubborn and pleased, so he was a little unhappy and said: "The widow abandoned the inheritance of his ancestors for generations and joined Wu as a minister, which is considered disloyal and unfilial; If you shame your ancestors by tasting dung and laugh at future generations, it is better for a widow to die here! ”

Fan Li saw that Gou Jian was angry, and he couldn't say anything more, so he had to sigh and give up.

At night, Gou Jian discussed with his wife Fengyi, and fully revealed Fan Li's plan.

Feng Yi knew that it was difficult to do this, after all, for Gou Jian, it was already a great humiliation to enter Wu as a slave and guard the tomb and raise horses. This taste of human excrement is worse than that of a slave; Besides, the sages have a 'temperament', for a man, if he loses his integrity, he also loses his soul.

"The concubine heard that King Wu is changeable, and now he is a sword warrior and I am a fish and meat, if we stay here for one more day, the danger will be greater. What does the king think? ”

Gou Jian said: "What Madame said is extremely true. However, Fan Li's plan simply didn't take into account the feelings of the widow! ”

Feng Yi saw that Gou Jian had drilled the tip of the horns, so she had to comfort: "Some opportunities are fleeting, if you miss them, it will be difficult to have them again." The concubine also agreed with General Fan Li's strategy, since she had this opportunity, why not try it? The king is only a year old this year, are we throwing the rest of our lives here? Throw in this mausoleum and watch the horses for someone else for a lifetime? Moreover, if King Wu is unhappy one day, he can kill us at any time. Has the king thought about this? ”

Gou Jian was silent. Feng Yi continued: "The concubines went to the trouble with the king, and they dared to go to the difficulty, because there was a belief buried in their hearts - we can go back!" This belief has always supported the concubines, and it has never been shaken now! ”

Gou Jian couldn't help but shed tears. Thinking that Feng Yi was originally a phoenix among women, the mother of a country, living a life of fine clothes and food. Now that she is in prison, she not only does not complain, but also follows herself without abandoning.

Not for himself, not for Yue Guo, even if it is for Fengyi, he has to do this!

Gou Jian made up his mind and said, "The most sorry thing in the widow's life is Aiji." Ai Ji followed the widow into Wu as a minister, tasted all the bitterness, and suffered a lot of humiliation. Not only do they never give up, but they are also in the same boat, and the widow is very guilty! Since Ai Ji agrees with Fan Li's plan, the widow is willing to give it a try! ”

Feng Yi sighed, the moonlight outside the window was clear, and spring had quietly arrived. The huge mausoleum, bathed in the moonlight like water, cast a mysterious shadow. A black bird, resting on the eaves of the stables. "Squeak", startled by the sound of pushing the door, fluttering wings and flying.

Gou Jian put on his robe and coat and pushed the door out.

In less than half an hour, the stone room next to it also sounded softly pushing the door. Naturally, it was Fan Li, who heard the movement here, and couldn't feel at ease, so he also got up in his clothes and came over to take a look.

The two figures approached slowly in the moonlight, but they were silent for a long time.

Fan Li broke the silence, looked at the starry sky, and said leisurely: "The minister is favored by the king, and he can't find the best strategy for the king, and he can't resist the strong enemy outside the border; Shatter the country and scatter the country. The minister is incompetent, come up with this decision, and ask the king to forgive his sins! ”

Gou Jian stood with his hands in his hands, thinking that there was such a loyal minister by his side; has an understanding wife who never leaves; What else could he say? If a country does not have a spiritual support, the country will surely fall apart. And Gou Jian is the spiritual totem of the Yue people, and it is the main reason why the Yue country will not be torn apart. Therefore, I can't die in Goujian, I can't die in other countries, I want to die, I have to die on the land of Yueguo!

For Gou Jian, who has thought about this point clearly, accept Fan Li's suggestion, and it will naturally be solved.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gou Jian went to the centurion class to return to the department, saying that the last time King Wu summoned him, because King Wu had been sick and could not summon him, we courtiers could not ignore it, so we wanted to enter the palace to visit King Wu's illness. But entering the palace must have the will of King Wu, so Gou Jian proposed to go to Dazai's Mansion to meet Bo Yao, and asked Dazai to tell him his intention to enter the palace to face the king.

Ban Fu sent a car and asked several sergeants to follow him and send Gou Jian to Dazaifu to pay homage to Bo Yao. (To be continued......)
