As soon as Zheng Boyou's words came out, Song Bo's face was very pale, and the whole person froze on horseback, and he couldn't spit out a word from his throat for a long time, his eyes became ethereal and ethereal, looking into the distance. Seeing this, Zheng Boyou felt unbearable, but he remembered that Empress Bao was almost going to die at the hands of Concubine Song, and felt that Concubine Song's death was also deserved, "Uncle Song? He called out, drawing Song Bo's attention back from where he didn't know where to go.

"Huh?" Song Bo turned to Zheng Boyou in front of him a little distracted, "How can it be...... How did you just go? ”

"Hang yourself." Zheng Boyou's four words were loud and sonorous, and before the words fell, Song Bo's expression became distorted and painful, "But for my Qi and Song disputes?" ”

"If so, just ask the king, why bother to hang yourself?" Zheng Boyou replied.

"Why is that?" Song Bo only felt that he had killed his daughter, beating the horse's back, and the bitterness in his heart overflowed into his mouth, this taste was really uncomfortable, just like he put himself on a rope for his daughter, although his daughter was not killed by him, but died because of him.

"The king had already promised her to mediate between Qi and Song, and Xiao'er had also sent back a letter saying that he would intercede for Song Bo! It's a pity...... Concubine Song was so stupid that she thought that this matter was to sow discord among the Empress Bao, and she wanted to put Empress Bao to death, and poisoned the food of Empress Bao, almost taking Empress Bao's life. After the matter was praised, her health improved and she began to investigate thoroughly, and the matter was found to Concubine Song, and before she could be arraigned and went to Dazai's palace for trial, she had already hanged herself. ”

"She ......" Song Bo looked at Zheng Boyou in shock, "Why is she so stupid?" ”

In any case, the king understood Concubine Song's filial piety, and Niangniang also decided not to pursue the matter further, so several people in her East Palace took the responsibility, and did not announce Concubine Song's intention to murder Niangniang. Zheng knew that it was only because Zheng happened to be present on the day of the poisoning; On the day of the interrogation, Zheng was also arraigned. Zheng Boyou told Uncle Song about this, Uncle Song's expression became more and more ugly, and finally bowed down his body, lying on the back of the horse, the whole person seemed to be spasmodic because of pain, looking at the elderly Uncle Song, Zheng Boyou could only shake his head and sigh, "Uncle Song thinks that this battle is ...... Do you still want to fight? ”

Uncle Song's body trembled on the horseback, and Zheng Boyou couldn't bear to expose his weakness at the moment, so he could only walk forward slowly as if he hadn't seen Uncle Song. Stationed in the post house halfway, and on the horse the next day, Uncle Song's expression has looked a lot better, "Thank you Uncle Zheng for telling me the news of the little girl yesterday." ”

"Uncle Song, please mourn and change." Zheng Boyou was relieved, "People can't be resurrected after death. ”

"It's the old man who killed the little girl!" Song Bo sighed, "If you hadn't listened to her advice that day, why would you have lost peace with Qi today with the Qi Kingdom...... That's it...... What you owe to her in this life has to be repaid in the next life! ”

"Only by armistice can Qi and Song be worthy of Concubine Song's spirit in the sky." Zheng Boyou said.

"I have the intention of cessating, but this Qi Bo has entangled the nearby princes, and wants to crusade against my behavior of colluding with the Chu State and attempting to usurp the throne of the king, what a crime to add!" Song Bo said, his face full of bitterness, "If this battle is fought, who wins or loses, it will be judged at all!" Why does Uncle Zheng always persuade me? ”

"What Qi Bo wants is nothing more than a face, if Song Bo gives it, Qi will naturally retreat!" Zheng Boyou analyzed.

"If I give him face, who will give me face?" Song Bo asked rhetorically, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, he always felt that this was Qi Guo's intentional blame, and now he was knocked out of two front teeth, and he had to swallow it with blood in his teeth, and he couldn't scream bitterly.

"Uncle Song thinks that the king is not enough to give you face?" Zheng Boyou's gaze instantly became extremely sharp, and the implication was that this time Concubine Song murdered the Empress Bao, if it was too big, Ji Gongyan could send troops to Taocheng, with the Zhou Dynasty army as the main commander, and send troops to attack the Song State, so that Qi Bo could not be asked to bargain for the commander of the Central Plains, but also have a justifiable reason to attack the Song State.

"That's it......" Song Bo lowered his head and sighed, "I also asked Uncle Zheng to repair a letter to the prince, saying that Song was willing to go to Taocheng in person to ask Uncle Qi for his guilt, and was willing to offer a pair of beautiful jade as a wedding gift to the prince of Qi and the prince of Zheng Shizi!" ”

"Uncle Song is polite!" Zheng Boyou said.

"It should be, it should be, the prince has mediated many times, and Song knows it! It's just that I can't swallow this breath, so I don't want to apologize to Qi Bo for a long time, and now I can have Zheng Bo to pave the way for Song, and the king is so generous, if I don't know how to lift again, I'm afraid that everyone will not be able to get off the stage, but let outsiders bargain. Song Bo shook his head, he had also received news from the State of Chu earlier, Xiong Yi was busy with the fact that the State of Jiao was destroyed by the State of Qiu, and he was in a state of anxiety, because he hoarded most of the soldiers and horses on the border of the State of Song, so that when the State of Qiu attacked the State of Jiao, he could not immediately rush to help, and when the army arrived, the State of Jiao was already in the hands of the State of Qiu.

In this matter, Chu Hou Xiong Yi repeatedly sent people to Yu Shi's father to mediate and negotiate, and asked Yu Shi's father, who was a prince, to return Jiao Guo to Jiao Ren, but Yu Shi's father relied on his favor in the court and did not take Chu Hou Xiong Yi in his eyes at all. This incident angered Xiong Yi, and he simply led his troops to the capital of Ho to pay tribute, leaving Song Bo alone with the mess.

Song Bo was irritable in his heart, and he knew that he was not the opponent of the Qi State Alliance, and now that he could have the mediation of the Zheng family's father and son, it could be regarded as a step down, as long as he apologized to Qi Bo again, at least he could save the people from suffering from the war. This matter has been entangled for several months, and now the curtain has finally come to an end, and the princes gathered in one place have returned to their fiefdoms and have to go to the court to pay tribute.

A few days after Zheng Boyou arrived in the Song Kingdom, he sent the news that the dispute between Qi and Song had been resolved back to the capital of Hao, and Ji Gongyu read the letterhead in Dazai's palace, with a smile on his face, and threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the table, "This matter is finally over, and you can focus on another matter." ”

"Another thing?" Uncle Zhao asked puzzled.

"Hmm...... It's time for Jin Bo to enter Beijing soon, right? Ji Gongyan looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, "Since you're here, don't let him leave alive!" ”

"What does the king mean......" Uncle Zhao's face was a little pale by the way, it turned out that last year's overture to the Jin Kingdom was just a ploy to invite the king into the urn, and this year he will kill this Jin Bo in the pickaxe capital, Uncle Zhao looked at Ji Gongyan nodded slightly, and asked tremblingly, "I'm afraid this matter ...... You can't explain it to the princes in the capital, right? ”

"Confession?" Ji Gongyan sneered, "This Jin Bo is self-reliant, and he has never explained to the widow, and now if the widow is to correct the son of Jin Muhou, Ji Qiu, it is not considered to be unethical, right?" ”

"Does the king have any news of Ji Qiu?" Uncle Zhao asked, his heart fluttered, in the end, he used to assist Ji Qiu, since he was driven out of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, there was no news, if it wasn't for Ji Gongyan at this moment, I was afraid that he would think that Ji Qiu had passed away.

"There is no need for Zhao Shangqing to care, as long as you do what the widow said, call Jin Bo to make this trip, and there will be ...... No return! Ji Gongyan said, "This matter is not difficult to do, that day Bao Hongde once made a military order, if this battle is lost, it will cost all the lives of the Bao family." Now all the lives of the Bao family have been lost, but who caused this defeat, shouldn't Jin Bo give an explanation? Isn't the delay in sending troops enough to be sentenced to death? When we usurped power and seized the throne, we can also bring up the old things again, and several things are put together and die...... It's a well-deserved death! ”

"I understand it below!" Uncle Zhao nodded to Ji Gongyan, "But...... Now in the form of Zheng Guo, if the king brings up the matter of Jin Bo's usurpation of power and seizure of power, I am afraid that it will be very unfavorable to Zheng Qizhi's form! ”

"This matter ......" Ji Gongyan pondered for a moment, then turned to Uncle Zhao and said, "It's not too late to discuss it when Zheng Boyou comes back." ”

Uncle Zhao frowned, he didn't understand the meaning of Ji Gongyan's words at all, what he left him was just a back, he had already strode out of Dazaigong, today's sun was just right, the sky was clear, there was not a single white cloud in the blue sky, the bright sunlight shone in the palace, and everywhere seemed full of vitality.

Concubine Song has already gone into hiding, Huachen Hall is regarded as an ominous palace, and there are fewer and fewer people inside. Fortunately, there is only one concubine left in the current Huachen Palace, and then three concubines were found from the original world women's palace, and the establishment is also complete. For this settlement, the entire Huachen Palace is grateful to Bao Xi, and since then, the Huachen Palace has not dared to have two hearts for the East Palace.

Mrs. Chu finally stopped for a while, and Bao Xi didn't need to be distracted anymore to worry about Mrs. Chu's affairs. The matter of tribute, mainly with Mrs. Wei, has been more leisurely recently. Once the dispute between Qi and Song was resolved, the world seemed to be peaceful because of this, but Bao Xi's heart always felt a little uneasy, as if there was a terrible storm hidden in the current tranquility.

In the past few days, I have always inadvertently thought of Twenty-seven, her smile, her simplicity and innocence, and the time when she was seriously ill and almost died, and when she went to beg the king to come to Qiongtai Palace...... On the chair in the main hall of the East Palace, her fingers touched the strings, but she didn't pluck a note for a long time, she just sat in a daze, she often felt that her right eye was beating hard, but she didn't know what was going on.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Gongyan's voice suddenly came, and Bao Xi was startled, she suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, "When did the king come back?" ”

"Just came in, what do you think? So distracted. Ji Gongyu asked.

"Twenty-seven ......" Bao Xi told the truth, Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi's eyes and was suddenly startled, and the whole person looked a little stiff.
