The soldiers left the Prime Minister's Mansion and came all the way to the palace.

As soon as the car arrived at the palace gate, the attendant guards set up the carriage and helped the soldiers out of the car.

After the two saw the ceremony, the Wu Yuan smiled and said: "Taishi is a member of the royal family, and he is highly respected, I don't know if I heard that King Yue entered Wu as a minister?" ”

Fu Xiang said: "The old man has also heard about this, since the king wants to rule the country with benevolence, if he can surrender the army without a fight in the future, why not?" ”

The two chatted while walking, and the soldier nodded: "This is natural." My soldiers have no other skills, but they have to be passed on to the truth. This monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom are not a good kind, they have deceived the king and the ministers of the court. ”

Fuxiang was taken aback, stopped, looked at the soldier and asked, "If Gou Jianjun and his ministers have any bad intentions, the old man must be on the side of Xiangguo." ”

So the soldier muttered in the ear of the husband for a while, the husband nodded, and the soldier entered the palace gate separately, and stood still.

In less than a moment, the drums in the hall sounded in unison, and the attendants shouted that King Wu was coming, so the ministers saluted and bowed, and lined up in order.

King Wu discussed court affairs with his ministers for a while, issued several decrees, and passed on Dazai Boyao to inquire about the remaining issues of peace with the Yue Kingdom.

After the court was discussed, King Wu wanted to order a retreat from the court. At this time, the soldiers stood up, knelt in the middle of the main hall, and shouted in their mouths: "The soldiers have something to play!" ”

The husband was surprised and said: "Old Xiangguo, please get up, if there is anything, just say it as soon as possible." ”

"The minister obtained the information of the Yue country, and knew that the king of Yue Gou Jian had a bad heart. Since Gou Jian has entered Wu as a minister, he is the king's courtier, and the minister asks the king to cure Gou Jian's crime of bullying the king! "The soldiers must have their hair parted and their faces angry.

"Xiang Guoyi explained slowly, why bother to be really angry?"

"The old minister asked the king: The minister has two questions in his heart, one is in the battle of Gucheng Mountain that day. The king agreed to Gou Jian's begging and surrender, and also forgave the sins of King Yue. But the main force of the Vietnamese army on Gucheng Mountain, does the king know where they were later? ”

Fu Cha nodded and said: "Because of a momentary negligence, the widow did not pursue this matter, but gave Bo Yao the right to make decisions on the spot, is it to let Bo Yao clean up these remaining problems!" How did you deal with this at the time? The husband asked the boy in the hall.

Bo Yao said: "As far as the old minister knows, the main force of the Yue Kingdom was led by Fan Li to return to the Guling area, and later all of them returned to the field and became the common people of cultivated land. ”

The soldier said loudly: "Definitely! The old minister explored very clearly a few days ago. The main force of these Vietnamese troops is about 10,000 people, and they are now stationed in the Guling area of the Yue Kingdom. This is the cunning of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom. And this army also has a commander who leads the army, named Chu Yong. If the king does not believe. You can pass on Gou Jian to ask for an understanding! ”

The husband said to Bo Ya, "Do you know this? ”

Bo Ya shook his head. He said: "The minister really doesn't know. Maybe what Xiang Guo said is chasing after the wind. Yue Guo later reported that these main forces of the Vietnamese army were disbanded into ordinary people, and they became a reserve army in the mouth of Xiang Guo. The king must not listen to him. ”

Fucha's face softened slightly, thinking that this was also the case. smiled and said: "Xiangguo is not chasing the wind and shadows?" Gou Jian is bold, and he doesn't dare to hide 10,000 horses. What is another question for Sangkook? ”

Wu Yuan said: "So the minister said that this is the cunning of the monarch and minister of the Yue Kingdom." I know that's the case, but you can't help it. Fortunately, I have someone to testify to, and if the king agrees, the minister can summon him to testify. ”

"Who is Xiangguo's witness?"

"Naichen's doorman is more than a friend."

"It's the one who delayed the fighter. The battle is not effective, and the Yue Peng who let the ancestors go to the difficulty? Hum! ”

At this time, the master came out of class and said, "Don't argue first." The old minister thought that it was better to let Xiangguo finish talking about the reason first, and then it would not be too late for us to make an autopsy. ”

The soldier nodded and said, "The Taishi's words are reasonable. Although the old man did not approve of the king's acceptance of the begging of the Yue Kingdom, since the king had decided on this national policy, the minister should naturally follow it. However, on the surface, the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom voluntarily joined Wu as a hostage and were willing to be humiliated by their subordinates, but in fact, they wanted to seek the king's pardon and make the society of the Yue Kingdom immortal. In order to revitalize the country as soon as possible in the future, the Yue Kingdom actually concealed a large number of troops in the country from the king. This is extremely egregious behavior. The minister asked the king to investigate this matter carefully and thoroughly, and not let the treacherous tricks of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom succeed! ”

The husband thought for a while, nodded and said: "The widow understands the loyalty of Xiangguo, and the widow should send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

So the soldier raised his second question: "When the Yue army was surrounded by Gucheng Mountain, the minister and Bo Yao each led two battalions on the left and right, and the king himself besieged the Yue army on Gucheng Mountain. Seeing that it was difficult to fly, Gou Jian made a move to attack the east and west, and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to break through from Gucheng Mountain. May I ask the king, where are the soldiers and horses that broke through the siege now? ”

The husband looked at him to see how he answered.

"King Qi, although the Yue Kingdom begs for peace and surrenders to us, the Yue Kingdom is still an independent country. Naturally, a country must have a certain military strength to maintain social order, otherwise how can it become a country? ”

The soldier was a little angry, and said angrily: "Why didn't the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom report this matter to the king? Besides, since Yue has become our vassal state, we have the ability to maintain social order and protect the national defense of Yue country. ”

For this point, even if Bo Ya is like a river, it is not easy to distinguish, so he played: "The king granted the ministers to lead the begging and inviting the Yue country, and some things were not very thorough, but the ministers thought that the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom voluntarily entered Wu as a hostage, how could they dare to hide their hearts, wasn't that a way to death?" ”

"Dazai means that the two questions raised by Xiang Guo are: first, the main force of the Vietnamese army in the Guling area is untrue; The second question is whether it is true that the capital of the Yue Kingdom will leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the country? ”

Bo Ya nodded yes.

At this time, Fu Xiang said: "Since Xiangguo thinks that the main force of Yue is stationed in the Guling area, the king can send envoys to Guling to investigate, if this matter is true, Gou Jian will be guilty of bullying the king!" As for the 5,000 Vietnamese troops in Huiji, the minister thought that he could let the Yue country remove half of them. The Vietnamese country can only have about 2,000 troops to maintain the country's public order, and cannot increase the number of troops privately. The king wants to state this matter to the king of Yue: Wu and Yue, under the current situation, must formulate a complete set of treaties and systems, otherwise the subject country is not like the subject country, and the monarch and the minister are not like the monarch and the minister, and the relationship between Wu and Yue must be clear. ”

At this time, the soldier continued: "The minister learned that the Yue State is the literary genre presiding over the state affairs, and now the ministers of the Yue State are working hard in an orderly manner, intending to restore the country and strengthen the army, isn't their wolf ambition obvious? ”

Bo Yao disagreed, and retorted: "Xiangguo always exaggerates. The culture of the country is guarded, and it is natural to govern it for the good, is it better to govern the country in a mess? There is no one who is in charge of the country who does not want to govern the country better, this is human nature, and the country will also make its own rhetoric. ”

Seeing that Bo Ya was clever and always lagging behind, the soldiers were so angry that they shouted: "The hateful old man has no words!" Surround yourself with you flatterers! ”

Bo Yao's face was blue and white for a while, and his face was a little red, and he played: "Xiangguo is old, and his words are not disrespectful!" It is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the king, so what is flattery? Please call the shots for the king! ”

The husband was very displeased, suppressed the fire in his heart, and said to the husband: "The Taishi is highly respected, and the matter of crossing the country is quite tortuous. ”

Fu Xiang said: "The king should take more precautions against the affairs of the Yue Kingdom, and the minister thinks that this matter will end here." The king could issue an edict to the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, and impose terms and conditions on the Yue Kingdom. ”

The husband nodded and said: "The words of the master are reasonable, let's stop here today, this matter will be handled by no one else." ”

So the guards shouted to retreat. Although the soldiers were indignant, they had no choice but to give up.

After retiring from the dynasty, the soldiers returned to the prime minister's mansion and explained the matter to Yue Peng, and saw that King Wu was still obsessed, and the soldiers were very depressed. But this plan did not work, and the soldiers would not give up. (To be continued......)
