When the husband heard the words of the soldiers, his heart was moved, but he still hesitated. After the next dynasty, he just entered the harem/palace and did not enter Zheng Dan's palace, but he came to the queen's bedroom alone.

The queen led a group of concubines to catch her, although the queen was in the main palace, but since King Wu favored Zheng Dan, the husband and wife rarely saw each other. Today, without the arrival of King Wu, the queen was excited.

Seeing that King Wu's face was gloomy and his eyes were dull, the queen couldn't help but exclaim: "The king's face is unknown, could it be that his body is itchy?" ”

It turns out that these days, the seasons have changed, and the husband often feels a little belly down, plus it is early spring, and he has suffered some wind and cold, and he feels some regrets on his body, and he has a spring dampness disease.

Although the husband was light-headed, he had to pretend to be relaxed and said: "Maybe I've suffered some wind and cold these days, and today I feel a little wrong in the court, and I'm dizzy." Now is the time for winter to turn to spring, and it may be a disease of spring wetness. ”

When the queen saw that King Wu's face was gloomy and his expression was painful, she hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor to the palace.

Because since Zheng Dan entered the palace, King Wu has been very fond of Zheng Dan, and rarely comes to the queen's main palace. Today, above the court, after listening to the words of the soldiers, King Wu had the heart to kill the monarch and the ministers, and naturally it was not easy to go to Zheng Dan's palace, lest Zheng Dan learn the news and it would be difficult for him to face it. After all, he personally promised her to pardon Gou Jian's monarch and ministers and allow him to return to China.

The husband thought to himself: "What the soldiers are discussing today is really an enlightenment, although the soldiers have always had the heart to cut off the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, but what he said is unreasonable? Raising tigers is a precedent for suffering from the blood of predecessors. If the tiger returns to the mountain, it will inevitably not be a disaster for the day after tomorrow! ”

Think about it again and again. The husband had an idea, summoned Yi Wang, and instructed: "You go to the horse farm to summon Gou Jian into the palace." If he asks, you say that the widow has something to ask. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a headache, he waved his hand and let Yi Wang go.

The queen and the concubines were busy serving King Wu and lay on the incense couch, and within half an hour, the imperial doctor had arrived. Because the imperial physician often walks in the palace. The queen is not to be shunned.

The imperial physician first ordered the palace maids to close the windows of the dormitory, and then held a lamp to shine on King Wu's face and observed for a long time. I looked at the color of my tongue again. Then he asked, "When did the king start feeling unwell?" ”

"Two or three days ago, the widow felt a feeling of distension in his lower abdomen, and he went to the toilet several times a day. The widow thought it was just an occasional discomfort. Didn't care. Unexpectedly, I woke up this morning. I was even more dizzy, and then the pain worsened. ”

The imperial physician asked the palace ladies to help King Wu up, starting to diagnose the pulse from the head and neck, and following the order of the upper limbs, trunk and lower limbs, one by one, and then pressed a few acupuncture points, asking him to take a closer look.

At this time, the doctor was already able to look and hear. The doctor began to split from the former family of witches and doctors. Independent doctors, and there is already a division of labor: there are veterinarians who specialize in treating cattle and horses; There are disease doctors who mainly focus on internal medicine; There are ulcer doctors who mainly focus on surgery; And being in charge of the diet. Food doctors who are well-versed in food safety. Taiyi was the most famous doctor in the country, mainly serving the royal family and ministers.

The imperial doctor sorted out the prescription for King Wu, and then went to decoction without mentioning it.

Zheng Dan saw King Wu go down to the dynasty this day, but he never saw King Wu, and he was very uneasy. Hurriedly sent a confidant palace maid to the queen's palace to inquire about the news. Only then did he know that King Wu was seriously ill and was treated in the queen's bedroom.

This illness came suddenly, even if the king was sick, why did he go to the queen's bedroom for treatment? It is said that according to the character of King Wu, Zheng Dan is his favorite concubine, and he can also recuperate at Zheng Dan, and there are precedents to follow before.

Zheng Dan felt something, so he asked people to inquire about the ins and outs of this matter. When he learned that the soldiers were discussing in the court, King Wu had the intention of killing Gou Jian, he couldn't help but be surprised. But King Wu was sick and lying in the queen's bedroom at this time, and Zheng Dan had no choice but to do nothing!

The words were divided into two ends, but they said that Gou Jian and Fan Li were doing some chores in the horse farm on this day. Ever since he heard that King Wu had the intention of pardoning him, Gou Jian has been looking forward to good news coming from the palace. From time to time, he glanced at the official road opposite, as if he was waiting for something.

When a white horse appeared galloping on the official road, Gou Jian couldn't help but stand up, put his hand on the pergola, and took a look.

When the man got closer and closer, Gou Jian looked fixedly, but it was Jinong.

Gou Jian was very apprehensive in his heart, turned his head and glanced at Fan Li, and saw that Fan Li had a look of surprise on his face. Gou Jian was silent, patted the dust on his body, and turned back to the small hall. When Fan Li saw it, he had to follow.

Gou Jian knelt on the couch, and Fan Li stood below.

"Jinong is here, and the general thinks it's evil or lucky?" Gou Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

Fan Li groaned: "Some time ago, King Wu said that he would pardon us and others, but the ministers watched the celestial phenomena and spent current affairs, and felt that this matter was very difficult. After all, that was just wishful thinking on the part of King Wu, and if the ministers objected, King Wu might change his mind. ”

"Does the general mean that there is less luck and more luck?"

"Fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, Jinong is already outside the door, the king will wait for a while, and the truth will be self-evident."

When Jinon threw himself into the small hall, he looked hurried and panicked.

"Oh no, my lord! Today, Dazai learned the news that King Wu listened to the one-sided words of the soldiers and had the heart to kill the king! Dazai specially ordered the villain to come and tell the king, so that the king could deal with it as soon as possible! ”

Gou Jian couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and asked, "What! …… A few days ago, King Wu ...... Didn't King Wu say that he would pardon us and others? How's that going to be—"

"I heard that the soldiers told two stories for King Wu in the court, Xia Wei imprisoned Shang Tang and Shang Xuan imprisoned King Wen without killing, saying that they left a future trouble and raised a tiger for trouble, so King Wu changed his mind."

When Gou Jian heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it was cold to his heels. The soldier's words are extremely lethal, which is where his weakness lies. He didn't take King Wen and Shang Tang as examples, and endured humiliation and burden, so that one day he could make a comeback and regain today's shame. If King Wu changes his mind, then everything will come to naught, the kingdom of Yue will disappear from the map, and his revenge will eventually be stillborn.

Gou Jian sighed and said: "The sky wants to be destroyed, what can I do if Gou Jian has the ambition to soar to the sky?" That's it! That's it! ”

Fan Li said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that the king can't mess up the square inch first, the king thinks, I have been waiting for the monarch and the minister to enter Wu for three years." If King Wu really killed me, why wait until three years later? What does this mean? This shows that King Wu has always been hesitant, and he still can't make up his mind about how to deal with our monarchs and ministers, which gives us a chance to survive. ”

Gou Jian shook his head and said: "Although the words are so, but King Wu's heart is unpredictable, he is a knife and I am a fish, and it is difficult to live!" ”

Fan Li said: "Don't be afraid, the king! A few days ago, King Wu had the heart to pardon us, and now because of the words of the soldiers, King Wu has the intention of killing me again, which can only show that King Wu is indecisive, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can save ourselves. ”

Gou Jian is still difficult to let go, after all, he is under people, and he does not have half the initiative in his hands, but what can he do except wait for death?

Fan Li persuaded: "Let's make up our minds first, if King Wu is called, naturally there is something to ask." The king seized the opportunity to show his loyalty. Then it is to play the sad card, so that King Wu feels that we are innocent, and killing an unarmed innocent person is something that a strong man disdains to do. ”

"If he wants to kill me, why should he call me?"

"Definitely! The minister expected that King Wu, even if he really had the intention of killing us, he would send someone to summon the king into the palace to meet him. In fact, deep in King Wu's heart, he didn't have the intention of killing me, but some ministers led by Wu Yuan opposed it, and King Wu couldn't argue, so he hesitated. ”

"What does the general mean is that as long as King Wu sends someone to summon us, we still have a glimmer of life?"

"Yes, the minister thinks it's a very simple truth. If King Wu had already made up his mind, he only needed to send someone to come and announce his will to kill us, so why bother? ”

Gou Jian thought it was very reasonable when he heard it, but since life and death were unpredictable, he had to resign himself to fate.

Such days are naturally like years, with a sharp sword hanging over his head, and I don't know when it will fall, and that kind of pervasive fear is really worse than death. (To be continued......)
