Dazai was the official in charge of managing the affairs of the royal family, and because of this, Dazaifu was very close to the palace.

When Gou Jian drove to Dazaifu, it was already afternoon. Since King Wu fell ill, he couldn't go to court, so Bo Yao was very idle. When the people reported that Gou Jian came to pay their respects, Bo Yao personally went out of the house to greet him.

And Gou Jian, who was dressed in coarse cloth and plain clothes and had unkempt hair, stood in front of the mansion gate, and Bo Yao also had a faint pity in his heart. used to be the king of a country, but today it is so cold, it has to make people sigh!

Of course, under the governance of the cultural genre, the national strength of the Yue Kingdom gradually recovered. There are naturally a lot of offerings to Wu Guo every year, and every time he gives Wu Guo a service, he has to give Bo Yao another heavy gift. The Yue Kingdom has formulated such a national policy, using Bo Yao to achieve the goal of allowing the King of Yue to return to the country.

Therefore, Bo Yao accepted the bribe of Yue Guo, so he naturally knew it and would do his best.

The guest and the host sat down, and Bo Yao arched his hand and said: "Xianjun is here today, what do you have to say?" ”

Gou Jian got up and said: "Gou Jian is here, there is a matter on his mind, and he failed to fulfill his wish, so he came to disturb Dazai, please Dazai don't blame!" ”

Bo Yao smiled and said, "Why should the virtuous monarch worry too much? Just say anything. ”

"The way of the minister, the main illness is the minister's worry. Today, the king has been bedridden for several months, and Gou Jian, as a courtier, how can he be at peace in his heart? Therefore, I often have unpleasant food and I can't sleep well. ”

Bo Yao said: "The virtuous monarch is loyal to the lord, but the king's illness has not been cured for several months, I don't know what the virtuous monarch has to do?" ”

"Gou Jian knows a little about medical science, but the king is in bed. As a courtier, how can Gou Jian ignore it? So Gou Jian asked Dazai to make it convenient, and lured Gou Jian into the palace to ask the king about his illness? ”

Bo Yao patted his chest and said, "Since Xianjun has this good intention. Won't the officer convey it? Please wait in this mansion for a while, and wait for the old man to enter the palace to face you. ”

Gou Jian thanked him for a long time. Bo Yao said goodbye to Goujian, and ordered his entourage to drive and come to the palace of the king of horses.

It is said that Wu Wang was sick on the couch, and when he saw that his condition had not improved, he became more and more anxious. I was groggy all day long, and I had already left my ambitions behind. One person is seriously ill. In addition to hoping for a speedy recovery, he doesn't care about his family and country.

A servant stepped forward lightly and whispered into King Wu's ear, "Dazai has come to visit the king's illness. Did the king see him? ”

King Wu was in a deep sleep, and he was very bored, so he nodded in agreement.

In the middle of the morning, Bo Yao knelt in front of the couch. Ask King Wu about his illness.

Wu Wang said: "The imperial doctor has been seeing him for several months. The widow's illness has not improved. Aiqing is in the country, can I find a famous doctor in China? ”

Bo Yao said: "Yue Jun Goujian, know a little about medical science. He came to my house today, saying that he was concerned about the king's illness, and begged the old minister to come and ask the king to allow him to enter the palace to visit. ”

Wu Wang said: "Does Gou Jian remember the widow?" Since he has such good intentions, Aiqing can take him into the palace tomorrow to meet the widow. ”

Bo Yaojian, King Wu, was in low spirits. Then he was relieved: "The king is still strong, and the imperial doctor said that the king's disease is in the spleen and stomach. Going to the disease is as slow as a thread. Therefore, the king does not need to be anxious, as long as he recuperates slowly, he will be cured. ”

"Hey! Since the widow fell ill, he has been lying on the couch all day long, and he doesn't know how the country's political affairs are. ”

Bo Yao pretended to ask: "The political affairs of the country are in the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't the Prime Minister come to report to the king?" ”

King Wu said gloomily: "Since the widow was sick, how could he have seen the shadow of Xiangguo!" ”

Bo Yao said no more, said goodbye to King Wu, and left the palace.

Early in the morning of the second day, Gou Jian followed Bo Yao through the zigzag verandah, and did not dare to look around, but just lowered his head and followed Bo Yao to King Wu's bedroom.

King Wu was already reclining on the couch, his face was sallow, and his chin was sharp; Under the thick eyebrows, those eyes no longer have an aggressive light. The pain of the past few months has dragged down his body, and he used to be so majestic and heroic, but at this time he seems to be weak.

King Wu said slowly: "Gou Jian also came to see Gu Ye? ”

Gou Jian knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Oh my God! The minister hadn't seen the lord for several months, but he didn't know that the lord was so tormented by illness! The disease of the king is like the heart of the minister! ”

Bo Yao said: "Gou practiced the meaning of loving the king, although he was in the horse farm, he still remembered the king from time to time, and his heart was pitiful." ”

King Wu sighed: "It seems that the disease of the widow is difficult to heal!" ”

Gou Jian took two steps forward and knocked on the ground: "Why did the lord say this?" Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the king is the proud son of heaven, why should he be so discouraged? ”

King Wu sighed: "Heaven brings blessings and misfortunes, how can a few people be able to influence it!" ”

Gou Jian said: "The king is in his prime, disaster is a blessing, and blessing is a curse." The king's illness is just caused by the current qi, as long as the current qi passes, it will be cured. ”

Coincidentally, before Gou Jian's words were finished, King Wu suddenly felt bloated like a drum, and he had the intention of defecating. He signaled the palace supervisor to dismiss Bo Yao and Gou Jian, and waited in the side room.

Bo Ya retreated, but Gou Jian stood sideways at the foot of the court, bowed his head and said: "When the minister was in the East China Sea, he once studied under a physician and knew a little about medical science. By looking at the feces, the minister can know the urgency of the disease. ”

King Wu didn't have time to listen to Gou Jian's chatter, so he hurriedly ordered the palace eunuch to take the commode and let off his pleasure on the side of the couch.

In the middle of the night, King Wu took the bow, and the palace eunuch lifted the lid of the commode and prepared to take it out of the house.

Gou Jian stopped the palace eunuch, knelt on the side of the commode, lifted the lid of the bucket, first looked at its color, and then twisted a spoon with his hand, sucked it in his mouth, and tasted it without disgust.

Whether it was King Wu or Bo Yao, as well as the palace maids and palace eunuchs around them, they couldn't help frowning, and they all covered their noses and frowns.

Gou Jian was not in a hurry, closed his eyes and thought for a long time. And they were amazed to see what he had to say.

Gou Jian stepped forward and knelt on the ground, but there was joy on his face.

Gou Jian kowtowed and said: "Congratulations to the king!" The king's illness is also worry-free! ”

King Wu was surprised and said: "Gou Jian said this, is it a relief for the widow?" ”

"Definitely! By looking at the king's leakage, the minister can know the king's illness. The king's illness should begin to improve on the day of Yisi, and it can be cured on the day of Renshen. ”

King Wu was still not convinced, and asked, "How does Gou Jian know about it?" ”

Gou Jian said: "Excrement is the product of the union of a person and the season. If you are in good time, you can live, and if you are in bad time, you will die. The minister tasted the king's convenience, the taste was bitter and sour, and it was in response to the spring humidity, so the minister knew from this. ”

King Wu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Benevolence and Goujian!" Even if the courtiers treat the king's father, who can taste his dung and judge his illness? ”

King Wu turned his head sideways and asked Bo Yao beside him, "Dazai, can you do it?" ”

Bo Yao shook his head and said, "Although the minister loves the king very much, he can't do this. ”

At that time, the queen was on the side, and King Wu looked at him and said, "Can Ai Ji do this?" ”

The queen bowed her head and said, "The concubine can't do it." ”

King Wu looked around, looked at the palace eunuchs and those palace maids, and said to himself: "Not to mention these attendants and palace maids, unless they are forced by their lives, who can do this?" The widow thought that not only Dazai and the queen could not do this, but even the crown prince could not do it. There are many people who love widows, but there is no one in the world like Gou Jian! ”

Everyone in the court was silent, and no one dared to speak. King Wu said: "The widow feels the feelings of Goujian, so let's do it: Dazai passed the order of the widow, let the Goujian monarch leave the horse farm and live in Dazaifu, and after the widow recovers from his illness, he should send you and wait for the monarch to return to the country!" ”

Gou Jian bowed again and thanked him deeply: "As a minister of the king, it is his duty to share the worries and solve problems for the monarch's father, and there is nothing special. The king's grace, Gou Jian has not yet repaid it! ”

Seeing that King Wu was tired, after Gou Jian thanked King Wu, he left the palace with Dazai.

The two of them went out of the palace gate, and Bo Yao said to Gou Jian: "The virtuous monarch is well-intentioned in front of the lord today, and he has already moved the king. Now that the king has allowed Xianjun to return to China, he will not forget the old man's feelings today. ”

Gou Jian thanked him and said: "Gou Jian can have today, it is all given by Dazai, is Gou Jian those ungrateful people?" Although the king has the heart to forgive us and others, it is just a little difficult for Xiangguo to do. ”

"Last time, the king had already allowed Xianjun to return to the country, but Xiangguo didn't obey, so the king changed his mind again, but this time it's different."

"What's different this time? After all, the prime minister is the government of Wu, and the king of Wu also has to obey three points. ”

Bo Yao didn't think so, and said: "Don't worry, Xianjun, since the king fell ill this time, Xiangguo has never entered the palace to say hello, and the king is very angry. Even if Xiangguo stops it, the king will not listen to Xiangguo's words. ”

"That's good! That's good! ”

Bo Ya Ha smiled, held the hand of Goujian, and returned with the car. (To be continued......)
