Without further ado, before I knew it, it had passed the Yisi day, and King Wu's condition was improving day by day, and when it came to Renshen Day, King Wu's body was greatly healed.

For Gou Jianjunchen, this is naturally a great news.

At this time, it was early summer, everything was growing wildly, and all beasts were thriving. In the majestic Wu Palace, no matter from the queen to the palace maids, their faces changed from the gloomy color of the past, and they all looked pleasant, and they were busy with their own errands.

On this day, King Wu recovered from his illness, thinking that he had been bedridden for several months, and he had suffered a lot of torture. Now, according to the day of Gou Jian's prophecy, the scabies have been removed, and the bitterness is sweet, and King Wu is a dragon's heart.

Thinking of Gou Jian's feelings of tasting dung, and it is the period of his great healing, King Wu is in a good mood, and he ordered Yi Wang, the head of the palace eunuchs, to have a banquet in Wentai Palace, of course, the guest is King Yue Goujian.

When the officials heard the summons, they came to Wentai for a banquet, thinking that King Wu had recovered from his illness and was happy, so it was natural for the ministers to feast. When the hundred officials sat down, they saw that the VIP seat in the north of King Wu was vacant, but they didn't know who the distinguished guest was. Everyone was wondering, but they saw two people coming up from outside the hall, both dressed in prison uniforms. The ministers took a closer look and recognized it as King Goujian of Yue and his adviser Fan Li.

Everyone didn't know what medicine was sold in King Wu's gourd, so they started to talk about it:

"This Gou Jian is a prisoner of my country, why are you here today?"

"I heard that the king is going to pardon them, this is the latest news!"

"I heard that the king has recovered from his illness, and Gou Jian has made meritorious contributions."

"They wore prison uniforms to the banquet, what a scheming! That's a reminder to the king. They haven't forgotten who they are, what are they going to do! ”

"His heart can be punished!" This seems to be the voice of the Sangkoku soldiers

King Wu was shocked when he saw Gou Jian's ministers dressed up in the palace like this. hurriedly left the table and got up, summoned Yi Wang over and said: "King Yue Goujian is here, how can he wear prison clothes to the banquet?" You immediately dressed and changed clothes for the king and the ministers of Yue! ”

When Gou Jian heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed in the court: "As a minister of the king and a prisoner of the king, he is already flattered when the king is summoned to the banquet today. How dare you have any hope of separation? ”

King Wu looked at the ministers and sighed: "The widow knows that Gou Jian is a kind-hearted person, and he can serve the widow like this." Only Gou Jian is alone. ”

The ministers all looked at each other, not knowing what the two were talking about.

In the middle of the night, Gou Jianjun and his ministers changed into brand-new clothes, wide robes and large sleeves. Eguan Bo belt. Especially the Yue Wang. He even put on a crimson robe, looking dignified, although cautious and restrained, there was still a faint sense of majesty. After changing their clothes, the two returned to the stage and thanked King Wu for his kindness again.

King Wu said: "Gou Jian is a benevolent and virtuous person, how dare a widow be humiliated for a long time?" Besides, after the widow fell ill this time, he also figured out some truth when he had nothing to do. Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, and those who rebel against the sky bring disaster. Blessed are those who obey the heavens. ”

The compassion of the king of Wu and the kindness of the woman are for the country of Wu. Maybe not a good thing.

The king of Wu said to his ministers: "The widow wants to pardon Gou Jian, release him from his imprisonment, forgive him from his crimes, and return to his country." Today's seat in the north is reserved for Gou Jian, and the secretaries need to treat each other with courtesy. ”

Then King Wu let Gou Jian return to his seat with courtesy, and Fan Li was accompanied by the prime minister.

Seeing this, the soldiers of Xiangguo were very angry and refused to take their seats. When the ministers saw this, they were all uneasy in their hearts, and they didn't know what to do.

The soldiers were silent, and they walked away in front of the public.

King Wu was furious and was about to get up and ask for the guilt. At this time, Bo Yao stepped forward and said: "The king does not need to be angry, the minister heard that 'the same voice is in harmony with each other, and the same breath is sking'." The king has the heart of the benevolent and forgives the faults of the benevolent, which is a beautiful talk in the world. Today's feast, those with the heart of the benevolent will stay, and the unbenevolent will go by themselves! ”

When the hundred officials saw that Xiangguo had gone, King Wu was furious, and Dazai came to another characterization of benevolence, so he had to sit down.

Seeing that the ministers did not react, Bo Yao said: "Xiangguo is a brave man, he is not willing to live in the seat of the benevolent, isn't he ashamed?" Xiangguo has no mercy in his life, and it can be seen that he dared to whip the coffin of King Chu. Hatred is not virtuous, he is a brave person, but he is not a great sage! ”

When King Wu heard Bo Yao's words, he turned his anger into joy and said, "Dazai's words are very reasonable. Xiangguo is old, if you don't change, you will go! ”

King Wu ordered music and dance.

So on the stage, the song and dance were lightly started, and the dancing girl slowly came out, and the monarch and the minister were happy.

After three rounds of wine, the dishes were five flavors, and Gou Jian led Fan Li to congratulate King Wu. Gou Jian toasted: "The king is healed, it is the blessing of the world, today's minister Gou Jian toasts a knight, congratulations to the king!" ”

Fan Li congratulated and said: "The emperor is above, and he sows Yangchun, his benevolence is Mobi, and his virtue is new; Yu De Xiuzai, spread virtue Wuji, prolong life, and protect Wu Guo for a long time; The four seas are peaceful, the princes are served, the wine is rising, and they will be blessed forever! ”

King Wu Dayue, drank it all, and said: "Within three days, the widow should send you and other monarchs and ministers back to the country!" After the banquet was completed, Wang Sunxiong sent Gou Jian Junchen to the post house to rest, and three days later, he was ready to return to China.

It is said that when the soldiers saw that King Wu forgot to treat the enemy, they were indignant in their hearts. In a fit of rage, he brushed his sleeves away. Since returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking that Gou Jian, a confidant, will actually swim into the abyss today, I am very anxious.

The soldiers summoned Yue Peng and discussed: "After the king recovered from his illness, he changed his previous decision and actually pardoned Gou Jian to return to China, what must have happened in this, but we don't know what happened, you immediately send someone to the palace to inquire and see what happened." ”

Yue Peng said gloomily: "Since the king fell ill, the Xiangguo has been patrolling in all directions, and he rarely asks about the king's illness. The young general can hear that Gou Jian's ministers have visited the king in the palace under the leadership of Dazai. It must have been this time that he entered the palace and changed the king's mind to kill the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom. ”

"Oh? Gou Jian once visited the king in the palace? The soldier muttered:

"Hurry up and send someone to inquire and see what Gou Jian did when he entered the palace!"

In the evening, Yue Peng returned home and told Yu Wuren: "The young general has investigated and understood, it turned out that Gou Jian entered the palace, visited the king's illness, and tasted dung for the king to identify the disease, which moved the king. So the king promised to allow him to return to his homeland. ”

After hearing this, the soldier sighed and said: "If you are willing, you will be bitter, and you can bear the burden of humiliation." Gou Jian played the sad card, and there was this Bo Yao who couldn't distinguish between black and white to help, so he could bewitch the king. What a pity! My Dawu's national fortunes are unpredictable from now on! ”

Yue Peng didn't know what to do, and asked, "It's a foregone conclusion, what can we do?" Today, on the top of the platform, the king has announced the edict of pardoning Gou Jian before the ministers. As the saying goes, 'there is no joke in the king', the young general thinks that this time the king will not change his decision. ”

"Can't you just watch them mess around? When the first king was there, he also listened to the words of my soldiers. Tomorrow, the old man will fight on the basis of reason and resolutely prevent the king from making such a foolish decision! ”

The young general thought that Xiangguo should forget it. This time is different from the past, the king will definitely not break his word in front of the hundred officials, if so, where is the authority of the king? Isn't Xiangguo a big problem for the king? ”

"The old man doesn't care so much! The king forgets to treat the enemy, does not care about the revenge of killing his father, and does not care about the future of Wu's national fortunes, just with Gou Jian's sweet words, he ignores the fate of the country, this is simply the kindness of a woman! Woman's kindness, you know! ”

Yue Peng said: "On the platform today, after the king announced the edict of pardoning Gou Jian, all the ministers did not dare to raise objections, only Xiangguo openly objected. It is difficult to reverse this situation with the strength of Xiangguo alone, and the young general thinks that it is better to save the country with a curve. ”

"What kind of curvy salvation law? You mean to send assassins to intercept them when they return home? ”

"This is exactly what the young general means, as long as he gets rid of Gou Jian, the country has no owner, and naturally the dragons will be leaderless."

The soldier shook his head and said, "Your method is a symptom rather than a root cause. Even if Gou Jian died, the Yue Kingdom could re-establish a monarch. The old man's original intention was that King Wu would kill the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom and destroy the Yue Kingdom, and then we could Xu Tu the Central Plains. The king has decided to pardon Gou Jian's crimes, which is a matter of strategic direction for a country, and it cannot be solved by killing Gou Jian.

The king pardoned the king of Yue and allowed him to return to the country, which left a future trouble for himself, which was a very dangerous decision, and also broke the old man's plan to destroy Yue Tuchu, join forces to resist the Jin, and then try to dominate the Central Plains. ”

"So do we have any other way?"

"What else can be done? The old man only has to go to court tomorrow and fight for it on the basis of reason! (To be continued......)
