Chapter 1 The King of Chu Hires Qin

Next Chapter

Ming Jia is a long day, the blood stains the battlefield innumerable, the autumn wind and winter rain into the Chinese account, once the white hair and embers, this hatred spreads in other places;

Where to send it away from home, watch me flutter the flag, a pot of turbid wine with knives and guns, Mo Dao Hero Road, and a thousand years of autumn grass yellow.

The beginning of this "Ge Yu", the second year of King Chuping!

On the winding path, a group of armor soldiers snaked around an ornate carriage. It was followed by a long convoy of goods, some with maids and servants. It was a hot July day, and the soldiers' faces were soaked with sweat and their armor.

The leader was a man who looked like a civil official, with a thin figure, a beard, a somewhat scorched face, and a tired face. Those triangular eyes are always slightly closed, and when they don't pay attention, it's like a thin silk thread has been cut open. But as soon as you open it, the eyes are very sharp and can penetrate your soul. This journey has crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and the way home is in front of me. Since crossing the Yangtze River, even if they set foot on their own territory, they are no longer worried.

"Look! Young Master. We are only a little more than 100 miles away from the capital, can we let the soldiers rest on the spot for a while today? Let's set up camp. These days, I'm in a hurry, and I'm exhausted. Anyway, we're done, and it's just around the corner to go back. The leader of the guards, Uncle Ya, said back and forth.

Fei Wuji, the leader, nodded and reined in the horse's head. I thought that this time was the right time to think about it and sort out my own clues. The pair of small eyes looked at the gorgeous carriage for a while, it was pulled by four white horses side by side, and on the unusual carriage sat a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, which was Fei Wuji's important mission to the Qin State this time.

For this time, King Chuping ordered himself to send an envoy to hire Qin for the prince's relatives and say goodbye to the prince. The king of Qin readily agreed, and seeing the growing power of the state of Chu, the king of Qin called his own sister Meng Huan and promised to marry the prince of the state of Chu. For this appointment, Fei Wuji also has his own plans. The King of Chu is a womanizer, if he knows that the daughter-in-law hired back, the sister-in-law of the King of Qin, the ominous princess (note: there was a princess title in the Han Dynasty, in order to facilitate the writing, let's use it) Meng Huan is a big beauty who sinks fish and geese, what will happen to the King of Chu? By Fei Wuji's guess, this game is a lot of fun. Although he is the young master of the prince, he is the mastery of the prince. In addition to the annoying prince and prince Wu Hao, he always instigated the prince to go against him, causing the prince to be dissatisfied with himself all the time. As a young master, he has a senior master Wu Lu on his head, and for Fei Wuji, he is very unhappy in his heart.

Although the crown prince is the successor of the country in the future, Fei Wuji also took a lot of painstaking steps, said a lot of good things to the king of Chu, and voted a lot to get the position of the prince and young master. But he didn't want the prince to be controlled by Wu Hao, he was obedient to Wu Hao, and he was never lukewarm to himself. The two sons of Wu Hao are the best of the people, the older one is called Wu Shang, and the younger one is called Wu Yuan's name Zixu is even more extraordinary, this Wu family has a strong influence in the court, and it seems that it will not work to follow this road. Even if the crown prince can ascend to the throne in the future, it has nothing to do with him, it seems that he can't get anything from the prince, and he has to find another way.

Fei Wuji's small eyes looked aimlessly around the soldiers who were camping, so he thought about it. Since your prince is ruthless, don't blame me for being unjust.

"Uncle, come here!" Fei Wuji shouted to Shuya, who was directing the soldiers to camp in the distance.

Uncle Yaya ran over and stood respectfully in front of him and asked the young master what he commanded.

Fei Wuji whispered to him, "Although it is also a great achievement for us to hire relatives this time, I think we should not be too ostentatious after we enter the capital. I now make a request that after returning to Beijing, I will keep it secret, so that the soldiers will not discuss this matter, and I will make my own arrangements. I don't know what the king is going to do at the moment, so tell the soldiers not to talk nonsense. Uncle Ya promised repeatedly, and went to busily settle the soldiers and the chariot.

When Princess Wuxiang got out of the carriage, she tossed for a day, and her body was sour from the bumps along the way. The four personal maids who had brought her from the palace sorted out her clothes and helped her into the tent where she had just set up a haode.

"Waist Yu, you go out and ask the military masters, how long will it take to see Yingdu? This time I worked hard all the way, and I don't know when it will be the end. Today I heard some words in the car, as if I was not far from the capital of Chu. The princess commanded.

The maid named Waist Yu agreed, and then came out to ask the soldiers standing guard in front of the tent: "May I ask the military master, how far is this place from Yingdu, the capital of Chu State?" My princess has traveled all the way, and I really don't know when the end will be, and I am very anxious. ”

The soldier was also a little excited, and replied: "This is only a hundred miles away from the capital, and there are still three or five days to arrive. Everyone has been away from home for almost half a year, and they are all very anxious. ”

Fei Wuji, who was in the distance, looked carefully over here for a while, and he found that the maid beside the princess was also very good-looking, although she was not as stunning as the princess, she was also a fairy-like figure. So there was a little thoughtfulness, if this girl can take on the big responsibility, she will make good use of her will make her Jihua more thoughtful.

Early the next morning, Fei Wuji urged the armorers to continue on their way, and since Jihua had already thought about it, he wished that he could implement it immediately. Being able to kill two birds with one stone is a heavy blow to Wu Hao and the crown prince, and he will add heavier weight in the eyes of King Chu.

When they arrived at a post house, the group rested, and Fei Wuji secretly ordered Shuya to find the maid named Waist Jade and the unknown princess's side, and led her to his accommodation.

After a cup of tea, after the waist jade arrived, Fei Wuji stepped back and said to the waist jade: "I am Fei Wuji, the young master of the prince of Chu State, and I am married to the princess on the order of the king of Chu. I have a way to help you become the crown princess in the future, and you must not reveal my plans at that time, otherwise you and I will both die without a place to be buried!" If you tell me about your life experience now, I will have a plan in the future. ”

When the maid saw this battle, her face was pale. was about to refuse this suggestion, but was coerced by Fei Wuji, and thought that he would be able to get ahead in the future and enjoy a wealth and prosperity. Then he stepped forward and replied in a low voice: "The folk girl was originally from Qi State, fled from Qi State to Qin State, and was later recruited into ** and became the personal maid of Princess Wuxiang of Qin State. ”

Fei Wuji didn't say much, told her how to do it, and repeatedly told Waist Yu to keep it secret and not to leak this plan to the princess. If the princess is aware, not only will her wealth be in vain, but her life will not be saved. Waist Yu took the order and left, still serving the princess as before, and did not dare to divulge anything.

When the hiring team was about to arrive in the capital of Yingdu, Fei Wuji asked the convoy to camp secretly outside the city, and ordered Shuya to strictly guard the camp and not leak any information to go out.

The king of Chu met him in the inner court and first greeted the young master for his hard work. Then I asked about the situation of the hiring of Qin all the way.

Fei Wuji knelt down and said: "When the King of Qin heard that the king had the intention of hiring relatives, he convened all the ministers to discuss, saying that it was our country's prestige and that the country was rich and strong, and they all agreed. The king of Qin asked his sister-in-law Princess Meng Huan to marry our country, and let Gongzi Pu serve as a special envoy to send relatives, send dozens of maids and entourage, and marry hundreds of property and jewelry. Fortunately, the old minister went to live up to his mission, and now people and cars are waiting outside the city, waiting for the king's will. ”

The king of Chu nodded, smiled and asked, "The widow is a prince who hires relatives, what is the appearance of this ominous princess?" Tell the widow what you describe. ”

Fei Wuji heard the King of Chu ask like this, and he was in the middle of it: "This Wuxiang princess of the Qin State is the most stunning figure among all the women the minister has seen, whether it is Daji, Li Ji, etc., she can't match it. The prince is really a blessing! ”

The skin of the king of Chu turned red, and he didn't say anything for a long time, but sighed: "Although the widow is above ten thousand people, under the Chu sky, it is not my land." It's a pity that I can't meet this country, it's really a wasted life! ”

Fei Wuji saw that the king of Chu had entered the alley, and he didn't care about the etiquette, he got up and whispered to the king of Chu: "Please let the king retreat, I have a plan to solve the king's sigh." ”

The king of Chu was a little puzzled, and retreated left and right to see what he had a good plan.

"The old minister has a plan, and the king can judge it himself. The State of Qin and the State of Chu are thousands of miles apart, which can be said to be beyond the reach of the whip, since the king loves Princess Qin's Tianxiang country, it is better to take it himself. ”

The King of Chu was silent for a long time, shook his head and said: "Everyone knows that Aiqing's envoy this time is to hire relatives for the crown prince. This is not feasible. Besides, it is not easy for the prince to explain it, or the prince Pu sent by the Qin State is not easy to stuff. Aiqing temporarily returned to the station, let the widow think about it carefully, and then do the adjudication. ”

Wuji took the order and left, and seeing that the king of Chu was undecided, he left the capital and returned to the place where he was camped to wait for the king's order.

In the palace of Queen Cai, there is incense and beaded curtains hanging here. A middle-aged beautiful woman sat upright, and a young man sat below. The young man is in his twenties, with a delicate face and broad eyebrows, and looks very calm and polite. This is exactly what Jianzheng, the crown prince of Chu State, and his mother Queen Cai are talking about this appointment of Qin. As a marriage contract between major countries, it is more about the interests and needs of countries. It was not a simple marriage, but a political necessity. The state of Qin was in a remote place, far from the Central Plains. The state of Chu has always had strong national strength, and there are many small states under its wings, and it is an out-and-out big country, with a high status and prestige in the Zhou Dynasty and the vassal states. Strong alliances have always been a practical political tool.

"This time, the king hired Qin for the prince's relatives, and the country of marriage with Qin became a country of marriage, and the prince also had a support and arms, and when the prince and the princess of Qin got married, the big thing could be decided." Queen Cai analyzed to her son. As the mother of the crown prince, she has always been afraid of the covetousness around her. In addition, the prince has always been relatively gentle, and there are many brothers, so the brothers have the position of the prince.

The prince was also a little happy, and he was also very grateful for his mother's guidance: "The prince also instructed his sons, saying that it was my father's appointment of Qin this time, and it was really for the sake of the children, so that I should know how to bow down and be filial, and not go against the king's will." ”

"It's good that Wu'er knows in his heart, Taishi Wu is loyal and strong, he is the pillar of Chu State, he is my teacher, and he is also an arm you can rely on, and I am really happy for my mother. Only that young master Fei Wuji, but this person is a flatterer, often playing right and wrong in front of the king, sowing discord, this person is not right, I must avoid it. ”

The prince stood up and took his mother's order, and he had always been extremely disgusted with Fei Wuji, although he was the deputy of Wu Hao arranged by his father for him, and he was also his teacher. But this person and Wu Hao are like two people, they are more cunning and flattering, and they have always rejected and disgusted this Fei Wuji in their hearts. While the mother and son were discussing, a palace maid came to report, saying that the king of Chu had arrived.
