It is said that Wang Sun Luo captured Lucheng, retreated from the general Gongzi of Chen State in Xiwan, and took Baiwan City easily, and the three cities of Chen State were occupied by the Wu army. Wang Sun Luo saw that Chen Guo had no strength to fight back, so he left 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, and led his army to Juyang.

After more than a month of confrontation, the two armies of Wu and Chu reached an alliance under the city, and each collected his troops and returned home.

This year, it was 491 BC, Wu Wangfu was 5 years apart, and Yue Goujian was 7 years old!

This summer, the weather was very hot. After Wu Wangfu sent an order/Yi Wang, the head of the palace eunuch, he wanted to take Zheng Dan to Gusutai to escape the summer.

Gusutai is the palace built by the first king Lu on Gusu Mountain in order to escape the summer, also known as Gusutai. This high platform is built at the southern foot of Gusu Mountain, overlooking the entire Gusu City.

This day is the 14th of July, early in the morning, Wu Wangfu and Yue Nu Zheng Dan got on the car of the canopy, led a group of palace maids and palace eunuchs, mighty and mighty, all the way to Gusutai.

First of all, a series of nine winding avenues winds up, twists and turns, this winding road is slightly wide, can gallop the carriage of horses. In front of Gusu Terrace, it is a wide stone staircase with three curves and three straights, and at the top of the stone steps, you can see that there is a huge building, built by the mountain.

So everyone got out of the car, and the husband took Zheng Dan's hand and walked up the stairs. After just a few steps, Zheng Dan was already slightly panting and his face was slightly red.

The husband waited patiently for Zheng Dan to rest, ignoring the palace maids beside him. He still took care of Zheng Dan personally, and it seemed that he was in a good mood today.

After walking and resting several times, the husband helped Zheng Dan to finally ascend to the platform of Gusu. This Gusu platform is a hundred feet high. Roughly 300 zhang wide, it is a towering high platform, and at the upper part of the high platform is a palace, which contains a council hall, a study room, and a sleeping palace. It is no different from the Changle Palace in the Wu Palace. Not only can you discuss with the ministers in the council chamber, but there are also a lot of things to eat, drink and have fun, and the mountains are lush with trees. It is a great place to spend the summer.

It took a busy day to settle down, and Zheng Dan was going up the mountain for the first time, so he was naturally a little excited. Fucha and Zheng Dan had dinner. I went out of the dormitory and walked to the 'lookout' in front of Gusu Terrace.

"When the concubine was in Yueguo, she had heard of this Gusutai, and she didn't want to be able to take the stage in person today. Look, Lord. It's a place to go. It can be seen hundreds of miles away. Majestic this stage! ”

Fucha took Zheng Dan's soft little hand and said with a smile: "There is another wonderful point here: when the moon rises for half a day, come to the stage to listen to the wind and watch the moon, and connect with the sky, if there is a clear song to accompany it, it is even better!" ”

Zheng Dan could hear it, and meditated for a while, and saw that the sky had fallen at this time, and a full moon rose dimly in the twilight of the sunset. The night breeze blows, and a cool breeze blows. Dancing Zheng Dan's clothes, like a fairy in the sky.

Fu Cha said warmly: "Ai Ji not only has the posture of a fairy, but also knows the rhythm of music and is good at caressing the guqin. Today is an auspicious day and a good night, accompanied by a fresh breeze, and a bright moon to make a shadow, you must not listen to the song, and you have to enjoy the bright moon. ”

"The concubines and concubines look at the king today, and there must be an unexpected joy. The king has been very happy since he left Changle Palace today, and until now. ”

"The widow may wish to inform Ai Ji: The widow ordered Wang Sun Luo to be the commander and send troops to attack Chen. Unexpectedly, King Chu Zhao sent the general Shan Fu to send troops to rescue. Originally, this was also expected by the widow. It's just that in such a situation, Wang Sun Luo still captured the three cities of the Chen State. The widow was relieved to learn the battle report from the front line today. ”

"The king is eloquent and strategic, brave and strategic, which is really the blessing of the Wu country! When the concubine was in Yue Kingdom in the past, she only heard that there was a Wu Zixu, who was an extremely powerful figure in Wu Kingdom. Now it seems that this is a fallacy! ”

"This old Xiangguo is mainly old now, but he himself is not willing to accept old age. For example, this time he sent troops to attack Chen, he did not agree, saying that he would destroy Yue first...... Something. Cough! Anyway, it is said that stability must be the first thing, and you should not act rashly. and the widow did not believe him. No, Wang Sun Luo sent troops to Chen State and returned from the three cities, then the scope of Wu State's potential will be even more expanded, and it can gradually advance westward, open up the passage with the Central Plains, and lay the foundation for us to chase the Central Plains after the most rear. ”

"The concubines knew that the king had the ambition to dominate the Central Plains. Lao Xiangguo is too much heart, and he may also have prejudices against our Yue Guo. The king of Yue raised horses for the king in the stable, could the Yue country still be able to do anything? It seems that Lao Xiangguo is really a little confused. ”

Fucha seemed to remember something, and said to Zheng Dan: "The widow once promised Ai Ji, saying that he was looking for a time to meet Gou Jian and Fan Li, and the widow forgot about it these days." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for being so attentive. Concubines are homesick and homesick, and it is a great gift from the king to be able to see the people of their homeland and listen to the voice of their hometown! Today to this Gusutai, the concubine Mochizuki is homesick, and the south directly opposite is the concubine's hometown! ”

The husband stepped forward and comforted him softly for a while, and sighed: "Ai Ji is unsatisfactory, but Ai Ji knows: nine times out of ten, everyone has it." Although the widow is the king of a country, he is not always unsatisfactory! ”

Zheng Dan was a little puzzled: "The king is the lord of a country, will he still be restrained by others?" ”

"Hey! You live in the deep palace, and you don't hear much about things. For example, in the matter of how to deal with the Yue country, the widow and the Xiangguo have their own opinions, and it is difficult to communicate. ”

"Since the king has formulated his own policy and plan, as the prime minister, does he dare to disobey his orders?"

"That being said, as a prime minister, he naturally has a group of ministers following him. He is a veteran minister, and he has deep roots in the country of Wu, how can a widow act wantonly? ”

"The concubines don't understand political affairs, and they don't know the past and the present. The concubine just understands that the king is the lord of a country, even if the concubine is to die immediately, the concubine will not hesitate! ”

King Wu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Although what Ai Ji said is reasonable, there are many complicated state affairs and many joints. Now, after several years of tempering, the widow has been able to independently carry out and implement the national policy he has formulated. Sending troops to attack Chen like this time is the result of the outnumbered people insisting on going their own way. Even if the prime minister is against it, the widow still has to send someone to carry it out. My Da Wu can't obey the orders of the old man, the current Xiangguo is not the Xiangguo at the time of the war, and my husband is not the former king! ”

Zheng Dan looked at it and said: "King, the concubine has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

The husband smiled and said: "Aiji, please make it clear, the widow forgives you for your innocence!" ”

"As a Yue girl, the concubine has the honor to serve the king. But the concubine is a slave who has lost the country, and the concubine ran from the Yue country to Gusu on the way, only to see that the border of the Yue country is already full of sorrow and there are few people. It's a pity that the king of Yue doesn't know the height of the sky, and competes with the king, so much shame as a slave today! The concubine can have the honor of being by the king's side and serving the king. The concubine asks the king to have mercy and forgive the sin of transgression! ”

The husband groaned for a long time, glanced at Zheng Dan, and said for a long time: "What Ai Ji said is true, the widow originally had the intention of forgiving Yue, but Gou Jian and the widow have a grudge against killing their father, and the ministers of the court also have objections, especially a group of old ministers led by Xiangguo, who are already deeply dissatisfied with the widow's pardon for the death of King Yue, and the widow can pardon Yue Guo, but not Gou Jian!" ”

Zheng Dan sighed leisurely: "After this defeat, the country is in decline, where is there still the ability to be an enemy of the Wu State?" The king is the lord of the benevolent monarch, and he is very comparable, so he can naturally do something embarrassing. ”

The husband was silent for a long time, took Zheng Dan's hand, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this yet, so as not to be depressed." Today, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and it is a good night. Let's go, let's go to the 'moon platform' to watch the moon and enjoy the scenery. ”

The two talked and walked, and the bright moon in the sky was rising, and the hanging was just around the corner. At this time, the moonlight is like water, and in the depths of the dense woods, the moon shadow is slanted, the sound of insects is low everywhere, and the fireflies are faint.

The two of them came to the moon platform, which was an open flat land, on which several stone benches for rest were built. In front of the moon worship platform, there is a clear pond built, in the four places of the clear pool, there are some different shapes of mountain stones, some of the mountain stones take the shape of the situation, or like a lying cow, or like a dog and horse, revealing the ancient and clumsy atmosphere.

At this time, a palace maid stepped forward to offer the piano. The husband clapped his hands and said: "This is good, in the face of this moonlight, Ai Ji can stroke the piano, so that he can be worthy of this moon breeze." ”

Zheng Dan first calmed down, sat down cross-legged on the stone couch, tuned a few piano sounds, Fang Shi's fingers flew, lightly opened his lips, and sang: "The moonlight is wet, how much is the moon shadow?" The beautiful woman plays the piano and has a bosom friend. Where is the old country, where can you sleep in the distant breeze? The concubine's heart is leisurely, and the branches are slanted; The twilight sky is vast, why does the concubine feel sad? ”

Squeak –

Everywhere the piano sounded, several night birds flew in fright, stirring a pool of moonlight and crumpling a pool of clear pools. (To be continued......)
