Chapter 14: The King

The father and daughter of the Chen family walked slowly towards the palace city surrounded by guards, and Chen Liehu deliberately walked slowly, so as to give the eunuch time to go back and pay his respects.

Although he resisted the decree and did not go to prison, he would not really break into the palace gate, no matter how ridiculous King Wu was, he was also his king.

The eunuch entered the palace as fast as he could, stumbling and crying to see King Wu: "King, Chen Liehu has rebelled." ”

King Wu is pale and slightly fat, born as the crown prince in the state of Wu, extravagant and arrogant since childhood, and because he was killed by his brother before inheriting the throne, his temperament is sensitive and suspicious.

He was lying on the lap of the beauty to recuperate, and was frightened by the eunuch to sit up, and calmed down when he heard Chen Liehu's name.

This old thing relied on his status as a veteran of Wu State to point fingers at him, but the rebellion was not enough.

He asked the eunuch: "The eunuch didn't give you a good face, did you resist the king's order again?" ”

The eunuch cried and said that after adding oil and vinegar, he stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "He also brought soldiers and horses to threaten the king!" The king, hurry up and send your troops! ”

King Wu thought of facing Chen Liehu, and stretched out his hand to press his head: "I want to listen to him nag endlessly." ”

Here Zhang Meiren cried loudly: "It's all the concubines who have affected the king." ”

When the beauty cried, King Wu was so distressed, and hurriedly comforted: "It's not your fault and your father, who asked Taifu to let his son go to war, and now that he is dead, he is lonely and sorry for them." ”

At this time, the guard reported that Chen Liehu was asking to see him outside the palace gate, and the eunuch hurriedly climbed a few steps forward and shouted to the king: "Quickly gather the forbidden army to arrest him." ”

"His grandfather was canonized with Wu Di, and when he was injured, he didn't dare to move the kings." King Wu was annoyed and angry, "He is disrespectful to the old, and he can't help but give him face." ”

This old thing's life is still very hard, and he has never died, and he still has to provide for it.

Chen Liehu is nothing more than saying that the situation is critical, how to transfer troops and how to send generals, really, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Wudi, and there is the Yangtze River, what is there to be afraid of, not to mention that there are also King Zhou and King Qi to fight together, let them fight first, consume the imperial court, and it is not better for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman?

As the Wenshe people said, these generals like to fight, lest they have no chance to make meritorious contributions, and they can shout through the sky at the slightest trivial.

You see Chen Liehu, an old guy, taking this opportunity to send his son and son-in-law first, and he is going to the battlefield himself.

King Wu didn't want to listen to the nagging, so he asked the eunuch to go to the ministers to come with him, and when Chen Liehu argued with them, he could be more relaxed.

The eunuch was busy giving orders, King Wu said goodbye to the beauty, and Zhang Meiren was reluctant to hold his sleeve: "Can the king of the poetry banquet in the afternoon still come?" The poems they make are not as good as the king, and if the king doesn't come, the poetry banquet will be boring. ”

Wu Wang promised: "Of course I want to come, I got a good word in my dream last night, and I will write it when I am lonely." ”

Zhang Meiren let go of her hand and leaned on the column to send King Wu away.

Chen Liehu waited outside the palace for a long time before the palace gate opened, and a eunuch was replaced with a eunuch who pulled his face under the escort of the forbidden army and invited Chen Liehu in, and he couldn't ride a horse when he entered the palace.

When the eunuch saw Chen Danzhu following, he wanted to say that the king only summoned Chen Liehu alone, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to cause trouble, so let Chen Liehu provoke the king to go up.

This is not the first time Chen Danzhu has entered the palace, this term King Wu likes to sing and dance, and banquets are often held in the palace, and the daughter of the Taifu family is a noble daughter in the national capital, although she has no mother, she can follow her sister to the banquet.

Wu Palace is really beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the concubines can sing and dance, the ministers can write poems and lyrics, the banquet made countless wonderful poems, after the fall of the Wu Kingdom, she can still hear the literati who play in the peach blossom mountain chant the poems and songs that circulated in the city of Wu Wang.

At this time, it is the most beautiful time in the palace, and there is a long road before entering the forbidden palace, and the roadside is full of weeping willows, swaying in the wind.

Of course, Chen Danzhu didn't have the slightest interest in enjoying the scenery, and followed his father to the main hall with his head down, there were already several ministers in the main hall, and when he saw Chen Liehu bringing Chen Danzhu in, someone sneered: "The young lady of the Chen family can not only make a big fuss in the barracks, but also enter and leave the palace at will, is Lord Taifu going to ask her daughter for an official position?" ”

Chen Liehu limped out of the hall, stood firm and raised his eyebrows coldly: "Wen Zhong, I, Chen Liehu, can't do things in your turn yet!" Don't take you seriously, your official position, do the same good for my daughter. ”

Chen Liehu is hated, domineering, reckless, no one in his eyes, but no one can help him! Zhongshushe's humanistic and loyal eyes glared: "Chen Liehu, you are bold, you are contemptuous of the king-the king." He knelt down to King Wu and said bitterly, "Please cure the Taifu for the sin of arrogance." ”

King Wu thought to himself, what kind of crime is arrogance, it's really stupid, you can't find some big crimes? Chen Liehu's ancestor has the hereditary official title of Taifu who was enshrined by Gaozu, and he, who is the king, can't easily punish him.

Chen Liehu also knelt down: "The king, the minister has something to do, the minister's son-in-law, the general Li Liang is dead." ”

King Wu has already heard the news, and he is a little gloating in his heart, who asked you to occupy the military power, sent a son and a son-in-law, now it's okay, the son and son-in-law are dead, well, then when Chen Liehu dies, the Chen family can finally disappear from front of his eyes, thinking that there is no more noise in his ears, King Wu almost laughed, hurriedly stopped, and sighed: "Taifu Festival mourns." ”

Another minister standing in the hall said angrily: "Master Taifu, I was not in the army when your son-in-law died, I can't say that I hurt me this time, right?" ”

Chen Danzhu knelt behind Chen Liehu and looked at this person, this person looked elegant, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of arrogance, he was the father of the beauty, Zhang Jianjun - the death of his brother Danyang was related to Li Liang, but this Zhang Jianjun also deliberately wanted to harm Chen Danyang, even if there was no Li Liang, Chen Danyang would die in the siege.

Wu Guo died, and Zhang Jianjun did not die, because his daughter, Zhang Meiren, was given to the emperor by Li Liang, and the beauty is as harmless as the treasure palace in the eyes of the emperor, and she can be laughed at-

The daughter became the emperor's concubine, which is more powerful than the king's concubine.

Only the Chen family died, burdened with crimes, the He clan didn't even have a grave, and the bones of her sister and father were still stolen by some old people to her, and she piled up two small graves in Peach Blossom Mountain.

Chen Danzhu gritted her teeth, Zhang Jianjun noticed that he looked at him, and he was very angry, this little girl is not very old, and her little eyes are more crazy than her father.

Chen Liehu was not angry at Zhang Jianjun's provocation, and said calmly: "Li Liang, I killed you." ”

I don't know this, Zhang Jianjun, Wen Zhong and the others were stunned, and King Wu also sat up straight.

What the?

"Taifuβ€”" King Wu asked in surprise.

Such a terrible person? Such a ruthless courtier can't stay around!

Chen Liehu looked at King Wu: "Li Liang has returned to the imperial court, and I ordered my daughter to go and kill him with a military talisman." ”

Li Liang turned his back on King Wu, oh my God, Chen Liehu's daughter went to kill someone, and everyone's eyes turned back and forth on Chen Liehu and Chen Danzhu - Chen Liehu, you claim to be loyal, but your family was the first to betray the king, Chen Liehu's daughter, a little girl who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, dared to kill? Killed or his own brother-in-law? Terrible - this news made everyone's thoughts confused for a while, and they didn't know whether to be happy and scolded or frightened.

King Wu shouted, "What's going on? How could General Li turn his back on Lone! ”

This surrendered before the official war with the imperial army began? These generals not only like to exaggerate the facts, but are also cowardly?

Chen Liehu said: "There are court lobbyists in the army who sneaked in, bribed and tempted Li Liang, and the personal soldiers I placed next to Li Liang noticed the report in time, in order not to startle the snake, let the little girl run with the soldiers, and eradicate Li Liang while he was unprepared, and then claimed that Li Liang was killed by the struggle for power in the army, so as not to alarm the spies and disturb the hearts of the army." ”

In short, it is true that Li Liang turned his back on King Wu, and Zhang Jianjun Wenzhong, who was present, suddenly became excited, and the others didn't care, Chen Liehu, you also have today!

"Taifu's son-in-law can turn his back on the king." Zhang Jianjun said in a strange manner, "It's really unexpected, it is also admirable that Taifu can kill his relatives in righteousness, but it is said that a son-in-law is half a son, and a son-in-law can be like this, I don't know, is the death of Young Master Danyang also like this?" ”

Chen Liehu was furious: "What time is it?" You are still thinking about slandering me, the court spies have infiltrated the army, and can bribe the generals, and the survival of my Wu land has reached a critical momentβ€”β€”"

Zhang Jianjun also did not show weakness, he was not afraid of this lame man, his son and son-in-law were also dead.

"Critical moments? Why are your children bribed and bought? Chen Liehu, Wu Di is in danger because of your family! ”

At the beginning, King Wu leaned back, thinking about what reason to leave for a while? But before he could figure it out, someone interrupted the quarrel in the temple.

"If you have something important to say, don't make any noise." It was a pretty female voice, sharp and bright, overshadowing the noisy old man's voice in the hall.

The hall fell silent and looked at the girl on the side.

Chen Danzhu continued: "My brother-in-law was killed by me, the specific process, I know the situation in the army best, and what I found out is related to the survival of Wudi!" ”

Wen Zhong sneered in his heart, no matter how much it mattered to the survival of Wu Di, it had nothing to do with you, the Chen family, who had become a traitor, he said coldly: "Then why don't you talk about it soon?" ”

Chen Danzhu looked at King Wu: "King, these things, the courtiers only tell you alone." ”

What the? Wen Zhong was annoyed, and without waiting to be blamed, Chen Danzhu had already burst into tears and began to cry, looking at King Wu and shouting, "King-"

King Wu is a soft-hearted person, and he can't see a beauty crying, although this beauty is still young-

"Okay." He immediately agreed, he didn't want to listen to these men arguing, this was also a good opportunity for him to leave, so he got up and walked towards the side hall, "Miss Chen Er come with Gu." ”

Chen Danzhu responded, Lisuo got up and followed, Chen Liehu didn't react, he didn't know about this matter, Danzhu didn't tell him, but now it's too late to stop it, so he can only watch his daughter follow King Wu lightly to the side hall-

Zhang Jianjun sneered: "Taifu is so blessed, he has no son and son-in-law, and a little daughter, and she is as beautiful as a flower." ”

This is to send his daughter into the palace to charm King Wu in order to keep the power of the Chen family, this kind of trick is really shameless.

Zhang Jianjun's eyes changed, Chen Liehu didn't bother to pay attention to it when he saw it, he was also a little uneasy in his heart, his daughter was not that kind of person, but-who knows, since his daughter said that he killed Li Liang, he couldn't see through this little daughter a little.

Alas, I hope she doesn't do stupid things.

Chen doesn't need her to rely on beauty to protect her family.

The men in the hall here were in a state of confusion, and King Wu took Chen Danzhu to the side hall, yawned and asked, "If you have anything to say, you can say it." ”

Chen Danzhu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the situation in the army is very critical, and there are already many court lobbyists who have infiltrated it. ”

King Wu didn't care, for a hundred years, the princes and kings and the court went from ministers to equals, and later despised - the emperor of the court guarded more than a dozen counties and counties, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, which was really too weak.

Wu has more advantages than other vassal states, protected by the Yangtze River, and has never been invaded by soldiers and horses.

What about lobbyists, who hasn't been a lobbyist, his lobbyist spies also went to the court, and the king of Zhou, the king of Qi-

The lobbyist is just a lobbyist, he can't enter the palace, he can't get close to him-

"Got it." He said, "The Lone Society will immediately send people to investigate and arrest the spies, and arrest and kill all the generals who were lured by bribery to make an example of you-Second Miss, what else?" ”

Chen Danzhu stood up and took a step closer to him, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty asked me to ask the king a word. ”

King Wu was stunned, and then he was shocked, ah-
