The king of Chu ordered the armor to take Wu Hao out of prison and escort him into the palace. The king of Chu said to Wu Hao: "The prince fled to another country and fought against the widows. As the crown prince and teacher, you are all guilty of teaching without a way! How about the widow remembering that you are old and loyal to the court, and are ready to let you return to the mountains and forests and retire to retire? ”

Wu Hao was speechless for a long time, and he didn't know what the King of Chu meant.

"You instigated the prince to rebel, and he should have been beheaded, but the widow remembered that your grandfather had made great contributions to the country, so he couldn't bear to be punished. The widow wanted to let you go, but I heard that your two sons had the talent to help the world, so you wrote a letter to the city father and summoned your second son Wu Shang and the soldiers into the capital; The widow shall reward them with official positions, and use them according to their merits. After the king of Chu finished speaking, he ordered the waiter to prepare a pen and paper, put a few cases in front of Wu Hao, and ordered him to sit down and write a letter to his family to summon his second son.

When Wu Hao heard this, he understood the meaning of the king of Chu, and wanted to summon the two sons to Beijing together so as to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Wu Hao smiled slightly and said: "If the king wants to summon my second son into the capital, he can issue an edict, why bother?" ”

"The call of the widow, the second son is afraid that he will never come, and you write a letter to the family saying that the widow has forgiven you and other sins. Now that the talents in the court are withering, the widows want to use the talents on a large scale, so they specially recruited Wu Shang and Wu Yuan brothers to enter the court to be rewarded and sealed official positions. ”

Wu Hao knew the tricks of the king of Chu, but the Wu family was favored by the country and loyal to the state of Chu. If the king wants his ministers to die, he has to accept his fate. After thinking for a while, he said to the king of Chu: "My eldest son Wu Shang is kind and gentle, quite filial, and takes benevolence and righteousness first. It's just a young soldier, he likes to read when he is young, he is obsessed with martial arts when he is a little older, and he can be a country with a strong state of literature; can also endure humiliation and burden, and is a person with great ambitions; And he is scheming, able to see the situation clearly, and has the ability to predict. According to the minister's guess, the soldiers will not come. ”

"You just have to write to them according to the widow's wishes, and it is none of your business whether they come or not."

The king of Chu immediately waited for Wu Hao to write a good family letter, saw it in person, and threw Wu Hao into prison again. After the king of Chu ordered someone to seal Wu Hao's handwritten letter, he appointed Yanshi as an envoy, drove the carriage of the horse, held the official seal ribbon of the king of Chu, and immediately went to the city father to summon Wu Shang and the brothers to be rewarded.

It is said that Yanshi was ordered by the king of Chu to go to the city father and find Wu Hao's house. Wu Shang saw that his father sent someone to send a letter to the family, and there was an edict from the king of Chu, so he immediately welcomed the Yanshi into the main hall, and greeted each other. ”

Wu Shang sighed: "My father was imprisoned by the king in Yingdu, and his life and death are uncertain, how can he have it?" ”

"Although Taishi Wu was questioned by the king some time ago, it was because the king misheard people's words, not the king's original intention. In addition, the ministers of the court unanimously promoted the Taishi, and called the three generations of the Jun family loyal and good. Now that the king has regretted it, he has pardoned the sins of the prince. If you want to worship the prince as the prime minister, you will be crowned with two sons. Today, the Taishi sent me to the city father to deliver a letter to the two sons, and told the two sons that the king was ready to use the virtuous power and wanted to summon the two sons to the capital to be rewarded. ”

Wu Shang was overjoyed, took the family letter, opened it and read it, and settled down Yanshi, wanting to let the family go to find his brothers and soldiers, and prepare to choose a day to see his father together.

Since his father was imprisoned by the King of Chu and saw that the crown prince had fled to the Song Kingdom, he had been worried about his father's safety in the capital. I was inquiring about the news that day, and after being found by the family, it was said that the old lady had sent someone to send a letter from home, and the eldest prince was already preparing for the trip to the capital. The soldier hurried home to find out.

After seeing his brother, Wu Shang showed his father's handwritten letter to the soldiers. said: "My father has been exonerated by the king, which is a great blessing!" Now the king wants to make my brothers and sisters wait, and the messenger has arrived in front of the hall, and the younger brother can go out to see the envoy. ”

The soldier did not answer, and saw his father's letter saying: "The day before yesterday, my father was imprisoned for going against the king's will. Now the king reads that my Wu family has been loyal and good for generations, and has exempted my father from death. The courtiers and the courtiers broke it down again in front of the king, and the king had already made atonement for me. I also heard that the two sons are talented, and they want to seal the official positions of the two of you, and your brothers can come to the starry night after receiving the letter from their father, and they must not disobey the order to postpone, and the book will be fast!

The soldier read the letter and said suspiciously: "It is a great luck that my father can avoid death. What is the merit of my brothers, and the king still wants to be crowned? Yan Gan must be bitter, my brother thought that this was the plan of the king of Chu to lure me, and when I arrived in Yingdu, I could cut the grass and eradicate the roots together. ”

"Now that we have my father's handwritten book here, how can my father deceive us?"

"My father is loyal to the country, and I know that I will definitely take revenge in the future, so I want to avoid future troubles, so as not to damage the reputation of the Wu family for several generations of loyalty; In addition, he was coerced by the king of Chu and had to write this letter, brother must not take it seriously. ”

Wu Shang said: "After all, this is just a brother's conjecture, in case my father is telling the truth, what is the crime of unfilial piety between you and me?" ”

The soldier replied: "Brother, don't panic into the capital, according to my brother, this letter is fraudulent." Brother, you think: My father has been imprisoned by the king, and now I will suddenly forgive his sins, and I doubt it; Besides, let both of me be rewarded, you and my brother have no merit now, where does this reward come from? These two doubts are also; If the king really has remorse, why didn't he first call the prince back to China, and call my brothers to be rewarded? These three doubts are also! According to the younger brother's opinion, this must be a trick of the king of Chu to get rid of us in the capital. It is better to take advantage of this moment and you and my brother to flee to another country immediately, so as to save their lives. ”

"I'm not greedy for the position of marquis, I'm really worried about my father's safety. Even if I saw my father die, I was willing. Wu Shang said.

When the soldier saw that his brother was determined to do so, he sighed: "What good is it to die with my father?" The brother must go, and the brother will not go with the brother. ”

Wu Shang said with tears in his eyes: "Even though my brother is right, but there is a letter from my father here, should we ignore it as a son?" My father suffered and suffered in the capital, and now he has a calling, even if there is an abyss in front of him, he must go through it himself, otherwise I will feel very guilty and uneasy. ”

After persuading the elder brother for a while, he saw that his brother's will was very strong, so he wept and said: "My brother is determined to go now, and my younger brother can't keep it." The king of Chu knew that only by borrowing the hand of his father could he summon us into the capital, so he forced his father to write this handwritten letter. If my two brothers are not subject to this order in the city father, the king of Chu still has some scruples, if we automatically send them to the door, I expect that the Wu family will be wiped out! ”

Wu Shang still refused: "My father's order is here, and I should live up to my father's call." My talents are far inferior to those of my brothers, since the situation is unclear now. If he is a brother, he will be ordered by his father to return to the capital, which is considered to be a martyr to his father, and the younger brother will flee to another country to avoid death and revenge as filial piety. Now you and I are going our own way, how about it?

Seeing that he couldn't convince his brother, he had no choice but to give up, so he sent someone to inquire about the news of the DPRK and China.

Wu Shang discussed with Yanshi: "My brother still has to prepare to do some chores for returning to the capital, why don't I go back to the capital with the envoy first, and my brother Wu Yuan will follow later." I haven't been able to see my father for a long time, and I am very worried about it, and I don't know what the envoy wants. ”

Seeing that the Wu brothers had no doubts, Yanshi agreed to enter the capital, and also agreed to Wu Shang's request. Wu Shang went back to the inner room to see his mother, and stated his father's life and the call of the king of Chu; Let's say that the soldiers have doubts and are unwilling to enter the capital to be rewarded.

Mrs. Wu also burst into tears when she heard Wu Shang finish speaking. I want the Wu family to be noisy for three generations, and the world has been favored by the country. Now the king of Chu has lost his way, and Wu Hao is an important minister of the country, and it is also his duty to go to the country.

Mrs. Wu glanced at Wu Shang, who was kneeling, and instructed: "Your father has been wronged for the country today, although the king of Chu has no way, but my Wu family has received great favor from the imperial court, even if you go to death, you will be loyal to the country and filial piety to your father." Wu Yuan is right, this is the king of Chu who designed to earn your brothers to go and get rid of it together. Since the Wu members have their own plans, the mother also wants to leave a bloodline for the Wu family and let him go. You follow the envoy into the capital, and the rest of the family members stay in the city father, even if you want to leave, it is difficult to get out, it is better to leave a green name in the world, except for the soldiers, other family members stay in the city father and wait for the king's order. ”

Wu Shang wept and was taught, worshiped his mother, said goodbye to his wife, took his luggage and servants, and went to Yingdu with Yanshi. The soldiers stayed in the city to wait and see, and sent fast horses to inquire about the news of the DPRK and China.

When Wu Shang and his entourage were detained as soon as they arrived in Yingdu, after Wu Hao heard about it, he sighed: "Wu Shang is pure and filial, and I will definitely answer the call with a letter of paper; The soldiers had the foresight and would not come. It's okay to do this, and it can also leave a bloodline orphan for my Wu family. ”

Wu Hao's father and son were imprisoned by the king of Chu, and Fei Wuji entered the palace to meet the king of Chu, and said: "Now Wu Hao and Wu Shang have arrived in Yingdu, but his young son and Wu Yuan may have seen through the king's plan, and now please send troops to the city father to arrest Wu Yuan, so as not to escape from Chu State." ”

The king of Chu said: "The city father is far away, it is better to issue an edict to Fen Yang, let him capture the soldiers on the spot, why bother to seek far away?" ”

Fei Wuji said: "Has the king forgotten the matter of the former prince? The minister was worried that Fen Yang would also set up arson, so it was better to send a general from Yingdu and bring some soldiers to the city father secretly to arrest him, so as to ensure that he was safe. ”

The king of Chu ordered the doctor Wucheng to have two hundred handsome soldiers, leave the capital on the same day, and quickly whipped the city father to attack and kill the soldiers, not to mention it for the time being.

On the second day, the king of Chu went to the court, and after finishing the state affairs, he discussed the crime of Wu Luxury. The king of Chu said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, Wu Hao took the position of the prince, but he bewitched the prince to rebel, and now the prince is afraid of crime and fled to another country, Wu Hao's crime is unforgivable!" The Wu family received my great favor, did not want to repay the service, and did such disloyal things, and now the widow has no life to behead the officials, and choose the day to correct the law, in order to set an example! ”

Xiang Guo Dou Chengran listened to the edict of the king of Chu and was furious. With a black face, he came out of the class and said: "The king is slow! The old minister has something unclear and wants to ask the king. ”

The king of Chu has always been a little proud of Dou Chengran, and he was displeased: "What does Xiangguo have to say? ”

"The prince's crime of rebellion is not true, why did Wu Hao bewitch the prince to rebel? The king didn't send anyone to find out, so he listened to and believed according to the family's words. Don't the old ministers know that there is still a national law in the Chu State? ”

The King of Chu said slightly angrily: "Xiangguo intercedes for Wu Hao, but is he a fellow Daoist with Wu Hao? ”

Dou Chengran stood up angrily, pointed his finger at the king of Chu, and said loudly: "The minister heard that the tiger poison does not eat children, but now the six relatives of the king do not recognize it, and there is no distinction between loyalty and treachery, what is the difference between the king and the faint king?" ”

"Dou Chengran is bold! Where is the armor? Hold this unseemly man in custody, and find another time to ask him about his disobedience! The King of Chu shouted angrily.

The armor soldiers above the main hall were like wolves and tigers, dragging Dou Chengran down the main hall. Dou Chengran was captured with both hands, prostrate on the ground, and still turned around and shouted: "You eternal faint king!" Faint! ”
