Chapter 47: The Tiger Falls to Pingyang
The dragon swims in the shallow water and is played by shrimp, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, the cat is more male than the tiger, and the fluffy phoenix is not as good as the chicken. This has been the case from ancient times to the present.
It was dawn, and there was a quarrel outside King Yue's bedroom. It turned out that Wu Zhi brought people to search the palace, but the guards did not let him enter, and the two sides quarreled endlessly.
"I am on the orders of the general to search for the wanted criminal Mo Chu, get out of the way of me. ”
"This is the king's bedroom, how can you come here. ”
"The general's command, arrest the imperial court, no matter where, you must not stop it!"
"The king is here, what is the general!"
The two sides were arguing at the door.
Princess Yue summoned her maids and asked her to inform the commander of the escort army to let Wu Zhi in.
Wu Zhi walked in with a swagger and began to search around. It didn't take long for everyone to come back and report, but no one was found.
"Have you searched all of your places?" Wu Zhi asked.
"The harem of the queen and the concubines did not dare to enter. The servant replied.
"Then go and search for it. ”
No one dared to move.
"You're looking for death, why don't you go quickly!"
"I'll see who is with the second, how can the harem allow the young people to go in and defile. King Yue walked out with a pale face.
"See the king, the villain is also acting on orders, please don't be surprised by the king. Wu Zhi saw King Yue come out, and he lost his square inch for a while.
"Even if Zhang Li comes over in person, he won't dare to break into my harem! ”
Wu Zhi was so frightened that his face was expressionless, and he took his people away stupidly.
Wu Zhi immediately ran back to the General's Mansion and reported to Zhang Li.
"King Yue is really arrogant, he didn't even let us search the harem, I think Mo Chu and they must be hiding inside. ”
Zhang Li frowned.
"Wu Zhi, King Yue is also a king, you have already searched his bedroom, it means that the person should not be in the palace. King Yue is also a man, who wants other men to trespass into their women's rooms. That's all there is to it. ”
Wu Zhi hurriedly nodded yes.
"Since Zhen Cheng has been poisoned and injured, Mo Chu must save his senior brother, he will definitely go back to find medicine, you immediately send people to guard the major pharmacies in the city, and if there are suspicious people, they will be arrested immediately. ”
"The general is wise, I will arrange it immediately. Wu Zhi was full of admiration for Zhang Li.
In the secret room of King Yue's bedroom, Mo Chu and Zhen Cheng had already had breakfast. King Yue and the princess avoided their eyes and ears and quietly walked in.
"Mo Shaoxia, is the meal palatable?" the princess asked with a smile.
"At such a time, Mo Chu is grateful that he can still eat the delicious food of the palace. ”
"Is your brother better?" the princess asked again.
Zhen Cheng was able to get up slowly, "Thank you for the care of King Yue and Princess Yue, the villain is already much better." ”
"Didn't you fall into the secret weapon of the Tang Sect, you don't have an antidote, how can you recover so quickly?" King Yue was very curious.
"Because my junior brother is not an ordinary person, he can solve the poison of the Tang Sect. Zhen Cheng replied.
"Oh, there are such strange people!" the king of Yue exclaimed.
"Before, I heard that Mo Shaoxia was a peculiar person in Xue'er's letter, but I didn't expect it to be true. Princess Yue answered.
"Mo Shaoxia is really a person from two thousand years later?" Princess Yue asked again.
"Yes, I don't know what's going on, so I arrived at Sengoku in a daze. Mo Chu replied.
"So, do you know what happened two thousand years ago?" asked King Yue.
"I've read a little bit of history and know a little bit. ”
"Then what will happen to our Yue Kingdom in the future?" asked Princess Yue.
"Time can change everything, and there are no emperors in our time. Mo Chu replied tactfully.
"You mean to say that my kingdom will perish. King Yue was slightly angry.
"King Yue, from ancient times to the present, there is no dynasty and country that can continue to prosper, isn't there no Xia Shang Zhou?"
"Is it that your Chu State destroyed our Yue Kingdom?" asked King Yue again.
"King Yue, the moon is cloudy and sunny, not to mention the country, it is a person, everything has its own cycle. From prosperity to decline, from the old to the new, it is a continuous cycle of development. Mo Chu was still reluctant to answer King Yue directly.
"Then what you mean is that the Yue Kingdom has turned from prosperity to decline and has come to an end. ”
"If the king of Yue has the opportunity, he can go to the land of Yue and see what kind of life the people are living now. ”
"Then what you mean is that the Vietnamese people under my rule are not living well. King Yue was furious.
"King Yue is angry, there is such an old saying, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. I walked from Hanyu Pass, and along the way I saw people displaced and mourning. ”
"A good one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, then do you think that the king of Chu is stronger than me, and the people of Chu are better off than the people of Yue?"
"King Yue, I didn't say that. In my impression, it was the Qin State that unified all the vassal states, but the Qin State was destroyed in just fifteen years. ”
"You know everything, so your existence can't change history. King Yue sighed.
"King Yue, from ancient times to the present, no one can change history, and so am I!"
Mo Chu slowed down and continued, "I have been in this dynasty for a while, but I have never told anyone that I know history and know what will happen to a country in the future. Whether I know it or not, history is history, and no one can change it. All we can do is live in the moment, do what is in front of us well, and leave no regrets!"
"How do you do a good job in the present?" asked King Yue?
"King Yue is the king of a country, and all you can do is to feed your people, dress them warmly, and live a happy and happy life. If we blindly start wars, it will only lead to the country becoming poorer and poorer, the people fewer and fewer, and the people becoming more and more miserable. ”
"You are presumptuous, you really think I don't dare to kill you!" King Yue was furious.
"King Yue, if you kill me, you can make the Yue country strong and make the people of the Yue country rich, then you can kill it. ”
"You're not afraid of death?"
"How many times have I died, my life has long since not belonged to me, if my death can bring some happiness to others, I will die as I deserve. ”
"Good, you are really special. King Yue let out a long sigh of relief.
"Actually, it was the happiest time of my life. I finally had the opportunity to stop, like ordinary people, to eat with my concubine, chat, think quietly, and read a few books I liked. ”
King Yue paused and continued, "Maybe I was wrong before, I may not be a competent king. ”
Princess Yue got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, you have always worked hard for the country and the common people, and you are a very good king." ”
King Yue helped the princess up, "Thank you for always supporting me and giving birth to a smart and capable princess for me." ”
King Yue turned to Mo Chu and said, "Mo Shaoxia, my daughter Ou Yanxue is still in Chu State, please take care of her." In the current situation, she still keeps Chu State better. ”
"King Yue, please rest assured, Princess Ouyang is my friend, and I will definitely take care of her. ”
"Ou Yanxue has such a loving friend as you, this life is enough. ”
Mo Chu smiled, "I'm lucky to have a friend like Ou Yanxue." ”
"Don't say kind words, wait until the king sends someone to send a ginseng to your senior brother to replenish your body, and you can have a good rest. After speaking, King Yue took the princess out of the secret room.
With the help of King Yue, Zhen Cheng's injuries recovered quickly, and within a few days, he recovered. One night, Mo Chu and Zhen Cheng bid farewell to King Yue, left Huiji City, and hurried back to Hanyu Pass.
