The journey was bumpy and difficult. Wu Hao returned to Yingdu with the guards, and after the report, he entered the palace to meet the king of Chu. The king of Chu had seen it in the palace, his eyes looked at the red wooden pillar above the main hall, and he asked absentmindedly: "The Taishi has worked hard all the way, and the widow has something to consult the Taishi, so he summoned the Taishi back to the capital." Now that the prince is secretly taking away his family, what is his intention? According to the widow, the prince has the intention of rebellion, does the prince know?! ”

The absent-mindedness of the king of Chu immediately turned into a crime that he wanted to add, and there was no excuse for it.

Wu Lu crouched underground, and he had to open his hair. The old man was still a little stubborn, and he would not be flexible, so he took out the spirit of a dead admonition, and replied: "The king used to listen to the schemes of traitors and robbed the prince's wife, which has become inhumane; Isn't it the king's fault that it has come to this day? The prince has not paid attention to the king's seizure of his wife, and he has not endured it, as a son of man, it is already considered filial piety. Now the king listens to flattery, does not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, does not trust his own flesh and blood, is close to the villain and far away from his relatives, I don't know how the king can bear it? ”

King Chu's face turned a little red, and he gradually became ashamed, speechless. Drink ordered the armor to put Wu Hao on death row, and after hearing this, he was dismissed.

The first soldier dragged Wu Hao out, Wu Hao closed his eyes and was speechless, worried that the Chu country would be in chaos, seeing that the king of Chu was hopeless, it was better to save some spittle, and shut up about state affairs from now on.

After Wu Hao was escorted out of the palace by the armor, Fei Wuji flashed out from behind the tent, his thin body shrunk into a wide robe, and his small eyes shone with a thief's light, like counterfeit porcelain. He gave the king of Chu an idea: "Now that Wu Hao is imprisoned, it will not be long before the prince will know the news in the city, and the old minister is worried that when the prince hears about this change, he will unite with Fenyang and other Central Plains princes to be unfavorable to the king, and it will be difficult for the king to deal with it at that time." Today's plan is not as good as the first strike, except for the prince. ”

King Chu said: "Sending others to the city father will definitely not be able to complete the mission, and the widow has already been on guard that day." The matter of hunting and killing the prince will be arranged by the widow. The widow had been ordered to work hard, and without the widow's handwritten edict, the prince would not be able to get out of the city. So the king of Chu wrote a secret letter and sent an envoy to the place where the city father was garrisoned.

Since guarding the city father, Fenyang has made fewer friends with the prince than with the prince. The affairs of the army are generally not consulted with the prince. As the military leader of the city father, although he is far away from Yingdu, his every move will be under the watchful eye of the king of Chu. Fen Yang understood the control of the king of Chu, so he was very cautious. On that day, Fen Yang returned home from the military exercise ground, and his secret agent in the capital sent the news: Queen Cai was deposed, Princess Meng Huan of Qin was newly appointed queen, and the crown prince was already in a critical situation. While Fen Yang was pondering, the guards came in and reported that the secret envoy of the court had arrived.

Fen Yang went out to greet him, the secret envoy was the eunuch in the palace, he asked Fen Yang to retreat from his entourage, saying that the king had something important to entrust.

Seeing that there was no one around, the eunuch took out a secret letter written by the king of Chu and handed it to Fenyang. He said in a low voice: "This is a secret letter from the king to Lord Sima, and the villain is specially ordered to hand it over to the general in person, so that the villain can wait for Sima's news here."

Fen Yang unfolded the secret book of the King of Chu, and there were only two sentences on it: kill the prince and receive a reward; Prince Zong, deserve to die!

Fen Yang chewed on this secret letter from the King of Chu for a while, as if he could find some other meaning between the lines, but the text was short and there was no hint. Fen Yang had no choice but to shake his head, settle the messenger who passed the book, return to the back hall, and summon the strategist Jian Yue. He asked him, "The king wants to get rid of the prince, how will I deal with it?" ”

Jian Yue said: "The king has no way, he listens to slander, and now that he has abolished the queen, he still wants to kill the prince, and he is so stupid, adults are not allowed to do this reviled thing." According to the intention of the lower officials, it is better to let the prince flee to another country privately, which is also the way of the minister. ”

"The king is strictly here, and the prince is dead."

"I have a plan, the general can give it a try. First, send a confidant to inform the prince and let him escape, and then the general will return to Yingdu and ask the king for his guilt, perhaps he can avoid death. ”

Fenyang thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind: "Fenyang is according to Mr. Yang's words, even if the prince escapes from the city father, it is also my duty as a courtier." As for whether he can save his life after returning to the capital, Ben Shuai doesn't care anymore. After speaking, he sent a confidant to tell the prince to tell him to flee quickly and not delay for a moment.

The crown prince was shocked when he got the letter of exuberance, so he took his waist jade and his infant son and escaped from the city overnight, all the way like a lost dog, day and night, and went to the Song Kingdom.

The eunuch waited in Sima's mansion for two days and didn't hear the news, so he found Fenyang and urged Fenyang to return to his life. Fen Yang said: "The prince has fled to another country and has not been captured. This marshal is derelict in his duties, and will return to the capital with the envoys and apologize to the king. ”

The eunuch couldn't either, so he had to agree. Fen Yang ordered a few soldiers in the camp to prepare the prisoner car, took off his official uniform, changed into a prison uniform, and prepared to take the prisoner car to the capital to ask the king of Chu for his guilt.

Early that morning, it was the day of the departure. After explaining his official business, he sat in the prisoner car. When the generals and soldiers saw the commander like this, they wept and surrounded the prisoner's cart, refusing to leave. Fen Yang said loudly: "Ben Shuai has disobeyed the king's order, and it should be so." The king had instructed Ben Shuai that day, treating the prince as a king, and now that the prince is suffering, it is difficult for me to protect the left and right, but according to Ben Shuai's clear observation, the prince has no rebellious heart, nor does he have a sense of rebellion. Therefore, Fenyang should follow the way of heaven and advocate human morality, but it has to disobey the king's order. Everyone quickly retreated, and the commander asked the king for his guilt since returning to Yingdu, and he had nothing to do with you. ”

At this time, Jian Yue stood up from the crowd, holding a wine urn in one hand and a large bowl in the other, glanced at the soldiers and said: "Today, Sima was wronged for the sake of state affairs, although there is a reason for the incident, Sima will ask for guilt this time, maybe the king will pity his loyalty, or he may spare Sima's sins. The big husband can stand up to the sky and the earth, dare to act. Today, we will give Sima a cup to strengthen his man's liver and gallbladder, and the true character of a husband! ”

Jian Yue knelt on the ground, poured a full bowl, stood up and served the prisoner in the car with both hands. Fen Yang raised his head and drank dry, and said loudly: "This matter is all done by me Fen Yang, please go back." The land of the father of the city is the throat of the Chu State, and it is a strategic place for several kings to use their hearts and strategies, and they should ask the generals to guard the city, and they can't miss the military affairs because of the affairs of the commander, then the crime of Fenyang is unforgivable, and there is no place to bury him. After speaking, he bowed to everyone, urging the eunuchs and escort sergeants to hurry away immediately, and look at Yingdu to go.

The generals had no choice but to disperse, return to their original positions according to the trust of Fenyang, and defend with their hearts.

Besides, all the way, the prisoner car was bumpy, staggering, and after a lot of hardships, he finally saw the vague Yingdu City in the distance. Fenyang said to the messenger, "Please go back and report to the king, and Fenyang is free to wait outside the city." Then the envoy went to the palace to report to the king of Chu.

The king of Chu heard from his envoys that the crown prince had been let go by Fenyang and fled to another country; Now he has returned to the capital and is waiting outside the city. The king of Chu was very angry, so he summoned Fenyang into the palace.

The king of Chu glanced at Fen Yang, who was kneeling below, dressed in prison clothes, with unkempt hair and a face that was quite bitter from wind and frost. The king of Chu said angrily: "The widow specially sent a secret envoy to bring a handwritten letter to you, how did the prince know the news, and he was able to escape under your nose?" Explain it to the widow. ”

Fen Yang said bluntly: "It is indeed the criminal who reported to the prince. In the past, when the criminal ministers sent troops to guard the city father, the king had an explanation, so that the ministers regarded the prince as a king, so the criminal ministers had no choice but to let the prince flee and divide the whole monarch and ministers. ”

"The widow also told you to spy on the prince and control his every move, what do you say now?"

Fen Yang said: "The criminal minister has been observing the prince's actions in the city father these days, according to the minister, the prince has no intention of rebellion, nor is there any rebellion, and the minister kills him namelessly. The king must have been deceived by slander, so he was suspicious of the prince. As a courtier, Fenyang had to follow the way of heaven. The king wants to condemn his ministers, and the ministers have no complaints or remorse. ”

"Since you let the prince flee without permission, and now you dare to come to see the widow, aren't you afraid of death!"

Fen Yang replied: "It is already one sin for a criminal to disobey the king's orders, and it is a second sin to avoid the king for fear of death." The eldest husband should dare to act in the world, how can he ignore the way of heaven because he is afraid of death? He is willing to die. ”

When the king of Chu heard this, he was silent for a long time, feeling pity in his heart, and his face was ashamed. Besides, the prince fled, and he never saw any rebellion, it was just speculation. The king of Chu thought for a while, so he announced the edict: "Although Fenyang is against the will of the king, he should be held accountable for his private indulgence with the prince." He is remembered for a reason, faithful and merciful, and the widow does not ask for sin. Fen Yang still serves as the father of the city, Sima, and guards the land of the father of the city. I hope that he will live up to the king's order and defend the city and protect the border for the country. ”

Fen Yang led the order and thanked the king of Chu. Since I went to dot to prepare for the trip back to the city father,

The king of Chu imprisoned Wu Hao, and when he saw that the prince had fled to another country, he asked Fei Wuji: "Now that the prince has fled and Wu Hao is imprisoned in prison, what should I do next?" ”

Wuji said: "Although the prince has fled, if he borrows troops from the princes, it will also be a trouble." Now that Wu Hao is imprisoned, it is better to kill him. In order to prevent future troubles, lest the prince be outside and Wu Hao will be inside, if they collude inside and outside, it will also be unfavorable to the king. ”

The king of Chu thought that what Wuji said was reasonable, and asked: "The prince has fled, and the widow has abolished the prince at this time, how about establishing Zhen as the prince?" ”

"That's the best, Empress Cai was deposed, then the prince should also be deposed, King Shengming. It's just that I want to get rid of Wu Luxury, and I think there are still some obstacles. ”

The king of Chu was a little disdainful: "What else is in the way?" I want to remove him from his position as Grand Master, and then kill him. ”

"Otherwise, the minister heard that Wu Hao has two sons, the eldest is Wu Shang, and the second son is named Wu Yuan, the word Zixu. They are all virtuous people. Especially this soldier, he is the best among the people. If you don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, even if you kill Wu Hao, with these two sons, it will definitely become a big disaster for the Chu State in the future. The minister thought that if he summoned Wu Hao's two sons into the palace first and killed them together, the king could sit back and relax! ”

The king of Chu also thought about it like this, but I heard that these two are human spirits and will not be easily fooled. The king of Chu asked Wuji: "How could these two people answer the call when they knew that their father was on death row?" ”

The king ordered Wu Hao to write a letter to summon his second son, and he heard that the second son was quite filial and should come at the behest of his father. The king asked Wu Hao to write a letter saying that the king had pardoned Wu Hao's sins, let the second son enter the palace to be rewarded, and wait for the second son to arrive in the capital, and then get rid of them together. ”

The two of them had decided on a plan, and the king of Chu announced to the whole country that Zhen, the son of Queen Meng Huan, was the crown prince, and Fei Wuji was the prince and teacher. Meng Huan and Fei Wuji and their group are self-satisfied. The king of Chu also summoned the criminal minister Wu Hao into the palace, wanting to use his hands to earn Wu Shang and the soldiers into the capital, and kill them to get rid of future troubles.
