Chapter 20 The Warring States Long-tongued Woman 18
The next day, Xiong Huai went to court and told the ministers of his intentions.
The ministers were puzzled by Xiong Huai's fickleness, obviously he was still high-spirited yesterday and was about to take the Qin State, how could he know 'Xu Xu Tuzhi' today? Some ministers naturally thought of Zheng Sleeve, who was a concubine but often did not look like a concubine and always 'bewitched' the Maharaja.
Women have long hair and short knowledge, they definitely can't agree, now that the country is prosperous, it is a great opportunity to crusade against the Qin State and make a name for itself, how can they let it go?
Lin Kezhong, the representative of the old aristocracy, stood up and said indignantly: "Think twice! Time is not waiting, now Wei and Han have surrendered, and they are united in the attack on Qin, and everyone is looking forward to it. The contemptible ministers are not talented, and they are willing to smear their hearts and minds for the great cause! ”
"Aiqing is loyal, and I am very relieved in my heart, but it is imperative to join forces, and the attack on Qin needs to be slow." Xiong Huai Road.
Lin Kezhong and several old courtiers silently exchanged glances, and Lin Kezhong suddenly said loudly: "The prince was ambitious yesterday, and he was worried today, but he was provoked by a woman!" The long-tongued woman dares to dictate to national affairs! ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar, Xiong Huai was furious when he heard this, and slapped the table and said: "The rebel dares to slander the queen!" Come! Pull him down! Hack to death with a knife! ”
In the main hall, the ministers talked a lot, and when they saw the samurai coming forward, they were even more frightened.
"Wait." A woman walked out from behind the curtain, she was slim, pretty and moving, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Just a few words, the prince does not need to be angry and angry. ”
She had expected someone to resist her countermeasures, but she hadn't expected to hear the long-lost word 'long-tongued woman'. Since that 'charcoal in the snow', she has had the inspiration of how to be a virtuous concubine, and she has used the convenience of Nanhou's identity to help the common people do a lot of good things, and the people all praise her.
Those warriors hesitated, Zheng Sleeve saluted Xiong Huai, blinked, and said, "Maharaja." ”
Xiong Huai was helpless, waved his hand irritably, and said, "Let him go." ”
After Lin Kezhong was released, he turned sideways and turned his back to Zheng Sleeve, Xiong Huai was so angry that he almost came down to kick people in person.
Zheng Sleeve didn't think about it, and asked: "Zuo Yin thinks that the monarch's countermeasures are not good, and he must have a high opinion, I don't know if I can talk about it, so that this 'long-tongued woman' in this palace also knows some good strategies for fighting?" Her voice was full of teasing.
Lin Ke was ashamed, Qu Yuan explained the matter for her, and the smile on the corner of Zheng Sleeve's mouth gradually deepened.
"Zuo Yin Zhaozhao's pure heart, this palace admires." She turned to Xiong Huai, bowed twice, and said: "Since Zuo Yin is full of confidence, it is better to pity his sincerity, be named the Great Sima, and send troops to crusade against the Qin State to show his heart." ”
Many ministers with low laughter had already snickered wildly, and Lin Ke turned around again and shouted: "My Chu King's Palace is full of talents, and it is not your turn to be a dead country girl to guide the country." ”
Scold!
Zheng Sleeve's face was cold, and Xiong Huai was even more thunderous, grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand and threw it on his head. Lin Kezhong didn't dare to avoid it, and was smashed on the door of his head by a bamboo slip, and blood flowed.
"The Maharaja's anger!" The ministers fell to their knees.
Zheng Sleeve was not afraid at all, walked up to help him smooth his hair, and asked the doctor to treat Lin Kezhong, and after a long time, the hall was calm again.
Zheng Sleeve said: "Zuo Yin is full of confidence, and there must be a good candidate to attack Qin." ”
Lin Kezhong received the favor of Zheng Sleeve, knowing that if it weren't for her, he would have been pulled out and broken into thousands of pieces, so he didn't dare to put on a high posture again, and only said: "General Zhao Sui and General Zhuang Ji are both good sons of my Chu State, brave and good at fighting, brave and strategic, and can conquer cities for our country." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sleeve turned to Zhuang Ji in the hall, he had only been crowning for a short time, it was the age of blood boiling, majestic and heroic, hearing Lin Kezhong's words, he immediately bowed to Xiong Huai, and said: "Zhuang Ji is not talented, I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”
"Does the general have the confidence to compete with the general of the Qin State?" These words were like a basin of ice water, which warmed Zhuang Ji's feverish brain, and he hung his head and said nothing.
Zhaoyang Da Sima was full of praise for him when he was alive, claiming that he was not as strategic, how could he get such high praise from Zhaoyang Da Sima as a mortal man, and how could he be easily repelled by these little rookies?
Seeing Zhuang Ji's depressed expression, the ministers understood most of their hearts, and knelt down one after another, asking Xiong Huai to discuss the plan to attack Qin again.
At this point, Zheng Sleeve stepped down with honor.
Today, some things have changed, some have not. Xiong Huai still sent Gongsun Yan to the Six Kingdoms to seek cooperation, but he did not say that he would immediately raise troops to the Qin State.
At night, the weather was as cold as water, Xiong Huai was still full of anger, and he said, "Aifei, why don't you let Bugu kill Lin Kezhong?" ”
Zheng Sleeve was playing with his youngest son in his arms, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said with a smile: "Is the prince asking me to be the adulterous concubine who confuses the monarch?" ”
Xiong Huai was just about to answer, when a small meat dumpling rushed into his arms from outside the hall.
"Father, mother, the child is back!"
"Who dares to say! Kill them all! Xiong Huai picked up his eldest son, rubbed his face, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen him for a day, and my son is fat." ”
"Is the king going to kill the people of the world?" Zheng Sleeve smiled and said: "People are terrible, the king knows the concubine's intentions, but the world doesn't know, today, if you kill Lin Kezhong, the people should scold me for bringing disaster to the country and the people, and I should also laugh at the king for being fascinated by women." ”
"Who dare!"
"The mouth grows on them, and the door is closed, and the night is secret, who knows!"
Xiong Huai was speechless, but a breath was still blocked in his chest, holding back uncomfortable, he said indignantly: "He is disrespectful to his concubine, and he can't wait for people to pull his skin and bones, and break his bones and ashes!" ”
When Ziheng heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he howled and cried in his arms.
"The children are scared of shouting and killing all day long." Zheng Sleeve put his arms around his younger son, coaxing his eldest son, and said with a smile: "Lord, Ziheng is your biological child, and he is still frightened when you are angry, what about those virtuous ministers?" To whom do they declare their fears when the Maharaja is angry? ”
"Dajun, listen to the advice of the concubine, talent is the foundation of the country, don't chill the hearts of adults!"
As Xiong Huai's pillow person, at some moments, she was worried that Xiong Huai would pull herself to behead, but it is conceivable how many people his uncertainty has brought psychological shadows.
Zheng Sleeve is reasonable, Xiong Huai can accept it in his heart, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and the bad temper that has been cultivated over the past few decades cannot be changed overnight, so he is ashamed to say: "I don't know that the people around me are afraid of me to this point." ”
"Where? I'm not afraid of you. Zheng Sleeve couldn't cry or laugh, put Zilan on his back, and said with a smile: "Zilan is not afraid of you." ”
After finishing speaking, as if he wanted to confirm his mother's statement, Zilan opened her small mouth with a smile, saliva flowed, and Hazi flowed onto his clothes, wetting a small piece.
Xiong Huai was extremely disgusted, and said in a deep voice: "Take him away quickly." ”
Zilan was naughty, put her hands on his shoulders, and her small mouth leaned towards his neck, Xiong Huai looked loveless, and shouted: "Ai Concubine, escort." ”
Zheng Sleeve laughed, hugged Zilan down, still held it in his arms, and said, "In the future, let Zilan help you, the father, change your temper." ”
