Yue Wang Qiu Palace, in the South Wind Palace, Gou Jian sat alone on the couch. I haven't been to court for three days, and in my life trajectory, this is the first time, a rare first.

Is it still necessary to go to court? He tossed the family business passed down from his ancestors to the precarious, and under his own impulse, he may become the king of the dead country.

The oil lamp in the room was like beans, and he couldn't hide in the shadow of the light, Gou Jian's face was withered and his eyes were dull. On the ground around several cases, there are scattered copper beans, jue, coffins, lacquer boxes and other utensils. Gou Jian looked expressionlessly over a bundle of bamboo slips in front of him, sometimes stretching his long neck to look at the parchment map hanging on the wall.

At this time, the slightly closed door opened with a "squeak", and Queen Fengyi stood outside the door, she only brought a twelve or thirteen-year-old personal palace maid, standing at the door, her eyes full of distress and worry.

Gou Jian was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw that it was Queen Fengyi, he suppressed the anger in his heart, but he still didn't say a word.

Feng Yi didn't pay attention to Gou Jian's silence and pushed the door in alone. She first squatted down to pick up the scattered utensils on the ground, and the palace maid wanted to enter the house to help, but Feng Yi refused.

"The king did not eat the grain of rice for three days in a row, but the concubine was very puzzled: the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he must not get carried away when the situation is good; Don't complain in the face of adversity. Although the country of Yue today is full of dangers and is in danger of destroying the country, the king is the king of a country, and the subjects of the whole country are looking at you. If the king falls first, then there is really no hope for the Yue Kingdom. ”

Gou Jian was stunned for a moment, but still didn't pick up.

Feng Yi continued: "Even if the sky falls, the concubines will face it together with the king. A country can be occupied and destroyed. But as long as there is a little opportunity, we can't let it go, and we must also do the best efforts. ”

Gou Jian's face widened slightly, and he pouted his lips, just about to say something. At this time, a palace eunuch came in to make a report. Said that the doctor asked for a meeting.

Queen Fengyi wanted to retreat, but at this time, Gou Jian opened her mouth: "Madam, slow down!" Wen Chong must be seeking a way to make peace, so Madame should stay here and listen to it first. ”

Wen Chong bowed his head and was led into the Nanfeng Hall by the palace supervisor, and after bowing to the ground, he saw the queen standing on Gou Jian's side, so he knelt down and bowed again. Gou Jian said: "Doctor, get up." Could it be that the doctor has a way to make peace? ”

"The minister has already thought of a plan and wrote a recital, asking the king to arbitrate."

Gou Jian got up and personally took over the music of the genre, began to read it carefully for a while, and muttered: "The doctor wants to enter Bo Ya with beautiful women's goods. But the widow is worried that Bo Ya will not be accommodating for us, but what should we do? ”

Wen Chong said: "The minister has formulated a set of elaborate plans to persuade Bo Yao to accept our request for peace, which will bring certain political benefits to himself. ”

"The doctor might as well tell the widow carefully."

Wen Chong nodded and said: "The political affairs of the Wu State are mainly in the hands of Wu Yuan and Bo Yao. According to the personality and talent of the soldiers. He will definitely not agree to our begging peace, and he must be a resolute main fighter. I want to take this opportunity to destroy the Yue Kingdom. Let the territory of Wu be broader and the national strength more powerful. Did the king say yes? ”

Gou Jian nodded and said: "Yes, the soldiers have the world in their hearts, and they must have the heart to destroy me!" ”

Then, Bo Ya and the soldiers look like each other, and the proposition of the soldiers may not be supported by Bo Ya. That's what the minister wants to do. It is the most suitable choice for Wu under the current situation to let him lead Wu to take the path of 'Lord Peace', and to let King Wu accept that 'Lord Peace' can bring greater political benefits to Wu State. As long as you can do it. The minister thought that King Wu would definitely be able to accept our request for peace. ”

Gou Jian nodded slightly and said: "Yes, King Wu, Wu Yuan and Bo Yao are the three fulcrums of Wu politics. As long as Bo Yao can convince King Wu, the soldier will be alone. ”

"Wu Yuanfu is the crown prince, and he is also a lonely and important minister, and his merits are high, and King Wu must be very suspicious of him in his heart. In order to balance power, King Wu made Bo Yao a dazai to restrain the soldiers. When Wen Chong said this, the words changed, but he said his heartfelt words:

"The ministers lead the begging and peace schemes, and bear the name of betraying the country, if there is a slight mistake, it will definitely be doomed! Although the minister's heart is expressive, in order to give the country a glimmer of vitality, he made this policy of asking for peace. The monarch and ministers of Wu will definitely put forward strict conditions for begging for peace, and the ministers dare to ask the king: If the conditions proposed by Wu are very harsh, how should the ministers decide? ”

When Gou Jian heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears: "As the saying goes, 'the winner is the king, and the loser is the loser', our army has been defeated. What else can be the bottom line of begging? The widow has only one request: as long as the Sheji Sect Temple in my Yue country can be preserved, the widow can agree to any other conditions! After Gou Jian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Feng Yi behind him. Feng Yi was nodding yes at him, with admiration.

The literary side is at ease. So Gou Jian ordered Queen Fengyi to select 8 stunning palace maids in the queen/palace, dressed up in gorgeous decorations, and prepared 20 pairs of jade and 1,000 gold as the assets of Mitong Boyao.

The sky was already dark, and in the south of Gucheng Mountain, the left battalion of the Wu army, the main general Bo Ya, was sitting in the big tent, and was talking with the generals. In the past few days, the Vietnamese army led by Fan Li has been forced to the area of the main peak of Gucheng Mountain, and the Vietnamese army is already difficult to fly!

The deputy general saw that the main general Bo Yao was in a very good mood today, so he smiled and said: "Dazai has made great contributions to the country today, as long as he can destroy the main force of the Vietnamese army, Dazai's contribution is great!" ”

The partial general Bai Zhou is Bo Yao's confidant, but he said: "Even if Dazai has made immortal achievements, but with Xiangguo in front, what can he do?" ”

At this time, a guard walked into the big tent, walked to Bo Ya's side, and whispered to Bo Ya: "There is an envoy from Wu Guo who has come to ask to see the general, but I don't know how to restore my life?" ”

When Bo Yao heard this, he waved his hand to the generals, and the generals dispersed.

Bo Yao was surprised and said: "What is the matter with the envoy of the Yue Kingdom coming to the camp?" ”

The guard said: "The envoy of the Yue Kingdom said that he wanted to meet the lord to tell the details, but he has been unwilling to explain his intentions. ”

Bo Yao thought to himself: "The Vietnamese army is in danger like tired eggs, it is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and it will not be able to jump for a few days. This is more and more to ask for a meeting at this time, but it is meaningful. ”

Bo Yao thought for a long time, and instructed the guards: "You go and tell the envoy of the Yue country, if there is any state affairs to discuss, please go to the Chinese army to meet the king of our country." ”

Bo Yao sat on the handsome tiger skin chair in the big tent, and was still muttering in his heart: Who is this more and more? Why did you come to my left camp to ask for a meeting? It seems that there is something strange about this matter. While he was groaning, the guard had already turned back.

The guard was very cautious, a little trembling, and said in a low voice: "The envoy of the Yue Kingdom is a senior doctor. He said that he only wanted to see the general and not go anywhere else. ”

Bo Yao glared at the guard and asked nonchalantly, "What is the situation of the envoy of the Yue Kingdom?" Is it one person or several? ”

"The leader is Wen, and there is a black-faced warrior guard who is close behind. This envoy is leading a long convoy, and I don't know what those cars are carrying. ”

When Bo Yao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, so he had a slight intention and instructed: "You bring the Yue envoy into the tent, and I will wait in the back tent, remember!" ”

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in green cloth civilian clothes and a black-faced man walked into the tent, and the guards led the two to Bo Yao's back tent to meet Shi Libi.

Bo Yao sat high in his seat, looking arrogant. Wen Chong knelt down and said: "The widow is young and vigorous, and he is not sensitive to the way of governing the country, and he challenges the military might of a big country with a small country, so that he is convicted. The widow is willing to make the whole country a minister of the king of Wu and ask for surrender to the state of Wu. But I am afraid that the king of Wu will not accept it, and Dazai is the minister of Wu State, and he is as majestic as Mount Tai, so the widow ordered his ministers to come to Dazai first to express his meaning. ”

Bo Yao snorted coldly and said, "My king will definitely refuse to agree to your request for peace. Although I am Dazai, there is a kingdom and a king above, so why are you waiting to be here? ”

Wen Chong said: "Dazai is a cadre of King Wu, with the name of the pillar of the country, according to the outside can be Anbang, the inside can be fixed, and Dazai won the heart of King Wu, for King Wu to rely on, not Xiangguo can be compared!" ”

Bo Yao was silent for a long time, his face softened slightly, and he said for a long time: "The king of Yue is a vassal to my lord, so he can naturally avoid the pain of the soldiers. However, when King Yue and Xianjun fought on Wutai Mountain, they were seriously injured and died. The widow has been worried about this matter, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to forgive King Yue! (To be continued......)
