Time flies, Chen Xiang has unconsciously used Ji Kang's identity to mix in the palace of the king of slip for a month, under the careful teaching of green beads, Chen Xiang basically adapted to the life of the prince, and also roughly understood the situation of the palace, the monarch and the queen of the slippery country have a son and three daughters, the only son Ji Kang, the third in line, that is to say, Chen Xiang also has two sisters and a sister of the same father and mother, Ji Kang's mother Queen Slip unfortunately died of illness five years ago, the monarch remembered the past love, has not set up a new queen, even the beauty rewarded by King Zhou Xiang, He also only set them up as side concubines, the queen loved her only son Ji Kang the most when she was alive, and the monarch also loved the house and Wu, and took care of Ji Kang in every way, and finally turned him into a super scum who everyone feared, and the fall of the horse may have been designed by some people.

On this day, Chen Xiang was reading in the study, but he heard the green beads outside the door: "Childe, the king is worried that the prince is overworking and hurting his body, so he specially ordered someone to boil ten perfect tonic soup and send it. ”

Chen Xiang said 'um', and Lu Zhu gently served the decoction, and asked while feeding: "The monarch still wants to invite the prince to dinner together, I wonder if the prince is willing to go?" Chen Xiang replied: "I've been busy reading these days, and it's been a long time since I've had dinner with my father, Luzhu, you can prepare it for me immediately, and I'll go to my father's side after reading this article." ”

"Yes, Childe." Midori replied with a smile.

Tonight, the monarch was very happy, after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and specially called a group of singers to sing and dance to help the wine, before the singers were in place, Chen Xiang signaled them to retreat, the monarch wondered: "Kang'er has worked hard recently, and today is finally free, my father specially invited Kang'er's favorite singer to perform for Kang'er, why is Kang'er displeased?" Chen Xiang replied: "Father, I am a small country and a weak people, and there are strong enemies around me, and now I just have a chance to breathe, I should take the opportunity to work hard, enrich the country and strengthen the army, how can I indulge in this beautiful sound." ”

When the monarch heard this, his face was full of astonishment, and he immediately laughed: "My son has grown, my son has grown." After that, he hurriedly withdrew the singer, poured a full glass of wine and handed it to Luzhu who was standing next to him, and said to Luzhu excitedly: "Luzhu, Kang'er has grown so much recently, I should thank you well." ”

Lu Zhu hurriedly took the wine glass, almost didn't grasp it steadily, and said again and again: "This is what I should do." ”

Chen Xiang also took the opportunity to say: "Father, don't move in the future, you will punish Luzhu." The monarch hurriedly said: "No, no, hahaha......." Lu Zhu hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and his tearful eyes cast a look full of emotion and love on Chen Xiang.

The dinner was spent in this harmonious and cheerful atmosphere, and at last the monarch ran out of wine, so he was helped back to the palace by the eunuchs in the palace to rest, and the envoys of Zheng Guolai were to be received early tomorrow morning.

The morning sun shines through the thin mist, gently sprinkled on his face, it is another beautiful morning, Chen Xiang got up early to read, since the moment Chen Xiang decided to declare war with fate, he has changed his previous life to get by, he has to work hard to make himself a strong man, and then he can fight against fate.

Today's Chen Xiang is a little strange, to be precise, a little anxious, he kept asking Lu Zhu to ask if his father has returned, Lu Zhu asked puzzled: "Why is the son so anxious to see his father today?" Chen Xiang said excitedly: "Today I suddenly thought of a good way to govern the country and wanted to discuss it with my father, so I was very anxious. Lu Zhu hurriedly said: "Oh, it turns out that the prince is going to discuss state affairs with his father, and the concubine will go to the front hall to guard, as soon as I see my father going to the court, I will immediately rush to inform the son." ”

About half a pillar of incense passed, Lu Zhu hurriedly ran back, shouting as he ran: "Childe, my father has gone down to court, and my father is ...... today." "Green beads really can't catch their breath.

"Thank you for your hard work, I'll go over right away." After saying that, Chen Xiang ran out.

"Childe, my father's face is a little bad today." As soon as Lu Zhu came back to his senses, he shouted to Chen Xiang, but Chen Xiang couldn't hear it anymore.

When he came to the king's bedroom, Chen Xiang couldn't wait for the guards to report and rushed in, but saw his father lying on the bed without blood at this time.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" Chen Xiang asked anxiously.

The monarch didn't answer, just looked at Chen Xiang and tears flowed down. Chen Xiang was even more anxious, "Father, tell me quickly, what's wrong?" ”

The monarch still didn't answer, and his trembling hands kept stroking Chen Xiang's hair. Suddenly, as if he had made some major decision, the monarch used all his strength, stood up straight, and said sharply: "Zheng Guo is too much to bully, is it tolerable or unbearable, even if he fights for my old life, he can't let Kang'er get into the realm of tigers and wolves." ”

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no trust between countries, and the attacks between countries were continuous, in order to contain each other, countries sent each other's sons to other countries as hostages, commonly known as 'protons', and generally the monarch would send his sons. But this time, Zheng Guo actually asked Huaguo to send the eldest prince who is the prince of the country as a proton, which is indeed extremely domineering.

Seeing that his father was extremely excited, Chen Xiang hurriedly helped him sit down and said softly: "Father must not be impulsive, otherwise he will fall into Zheng Guo's trap, if we don't agree, they will use this as an excuse to annex our country." ”

"Then let Kang'er go to death?" The monarch said angrily.

Chen Xiang continued: "Zheng Guo will not dare to hurt me, if I have any damage, the Qin State and the Jin State will use this excuse to attack Zheng Guo. Besides, I can also take this opportunity to make friends with the powerful people of Zheng Guo, gain an in-depth understanding of Zheng Guo's situation, and then my father can rescue me at the right time. ”

"But, but......" The monarch was a little moved, but he was still unwilling.

Chen Xiang grabbed the monarch's hand and said solemnly: "Father, don't hesitate any longer, but before I leave, I hope that my father can take the child's suggestion, establish a liquidation position throughout the country, purchase grain at a fair price during the harvest, and sell the grain to the people at a low price in a disaster year or spring planting, so as to ensure that people can cultivate and produce with peace of mind." ”

"Kang'er's method is very good, my father will definitely follow it, and I hope that Kang'er will take care of it in the future, and his father will do his best to ensure Kang'er's thoroughness." After speaking, the monarch had already burst into tears. Chen Xiang hugged the injured old man tightly and let his tears soak his clothes.
