On the 25th of July, the grandsons of the Gongzi all brought the Tai'a sword to worship the Duke of Zhuang, and asked for the sin, "Your Majesty is really damned as the deputy commander of the army who left the camp tent without permission, please ask the king to surrender." ”

Kou Shengben was still worried about his private departure from Xu Du, but after seeing the Tai'a Sword in his hand, he had to ask the reason for the matter.

Gongsun Zidu did not answer immediately, but looked at the sword in his hand with a complicated face, and then lowered his eyes and said with grief and indignation, "Don't hide it from the king, since your subordinates saw Uncle Yingkao die, they have a feeling for a while, thinking that I am a Zheng Guo, a prosperous country, a sage and a virtuous minister, why do you still want to submit to a cowardly Zhou Tianzi?" If the king is willing, the son will be great..."

"Shut up!" At this time, Kou Sheng understood better than anyone what Gongsun Zidu was going to say next, but it made people a little uneasy when they said it into his heart, so he pretended to be ruthless, "How dare you say such disobedient words? The widow just wants to hear an explanation from you. ”

Gongzi and grandson bowed their heads, he thought that he could get back some trust by breaking Kou Sheng's ambition with one word, but at the moment, this trick seemed to be unworkable.

So after hesitating for a while, the expression in his eyes changed, and then he said without humility or arrogance, "What the king said is that it is all to blame the ministers for their false words, and the ministers just think that the king deserves better." ”

Before the words fell, he raised the Tai'a sword in his hand above his head, "Your Majesty's trip is to win the Tai'a sword that is rumored to be cast by the two major swordsmen of Ou Yezi and Ganjiang, once upon a time, the king of Chu wiped out the Jin army of 200,000 with a sword, and the king will be able to conquer everything and be invincible after having it!" I, Zheng Guoji, will be immortal for thousands of generations! ”

"Tai'a Sword?" Kou Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, walked up and took the sword from Gongsun Zidu's hand.

After carefully studying it in his hand for a while, he finally softened his tone a lot unconsciously, "But isn't this the treasure of the Chu State?" How did you get it? ”

"Back to the king," the grandson of the prince bowed down deeply, and only said after expressing his respect, "In fact, his subordinates got the news a few months ago, saying that it was the king of Chu Wu's conquest of Zhongli's great victory, in order to deter Zhongli's old ministers from rebelling, he specially ordered Yan Shu, the general of the state of Chu to stay in the imperial city, and stationed Tai'a in his palace, and issued an edict to declare: If anyone dares to disobey General Yan, it will be like disobeying King Chu Wu, and treat people who are disrespectful, General Yan can directly behead him with Tai'a, and there is no need to tell the king." And Yan Shu's subordinates of Chu State knew that that man was a horseman, and he was really not worthy of Tai'a if he was brave and unscrupulous, so his subordinates thought to themselves at that time, if Tai'a was left with him, it would be better for me to take it and give it to the king, which would be considered a good thing. ”

After the grandson finished speaking, he bowed down and saluted.

And Kou Sheng's eyes were shining, and he looked at the Tai'a Sword in his hand, and seemed to think about it several times before he said lightly, "But Doctor Gongsun, if the facts are really as you say, haven't you ever thought that you will take the treasure of Chu State, even if you really like it, how should you use it in a dignified manner?" Is it possible to lie that it was picked up by a widow? Or is it Dr. Gongsun... Do you want to give the widow the notorious name of a rooster and a dog thief? ”

"This king doesn't have to worry, he just needs to order the swordsmith to reforge a little, and then change the name to "Yuanlong Sword", who will know the origin of this sword? ”

After listening to Gongsun Zidu's words, Kou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled heartily, "Haha, what a deep dragon ascends to heaven, Doctor Gongsun is really witty." ”

In order to show modesty, the grandsons all bow to the court.

Kou Sheng said, "You have taken great pains for the widow, and you have led the army to occupy Xudu, so hard work and high achievement, the widow will reward you, say... What does Dr. Gongsun want? ”

"What you want..."The grandson thought about it for a while, and said respectfully to the courtiers, "Your Majesty is frightened, and you dare to ask the king, can I ask the king whatever I want?" ”

When Kou Sheng heard what he said, his eyes couldn't help but be a little interested, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "The doctor might as well say it directly." ”

"Yes," the grandson couldn't help but reveal longing between his eyebrows, "Go back to the king, and ask for a woman." ”

Kou Sheng looked at his serious expression, and suddenly laughed out loud for a long time, "The widow heard right, right?" What did Dr. Gongsun ask for? Woman? If the widow remembers correctly, isn't the doctor not close to women? Even when the widow was in Tianxianglou to select a concubine for the doctor, there were so many beauties, the doctor was stunned and didn't even lift his eyelids, how... Now the doctor has suddenly opened his mind? ”

The grandson couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, "Don't mock your subordinates, what your subordinates want to marry now is a woman, and I want her to be my wife, not a concubine." ”

"Oh?" Kou Sheng held back his smile, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes, "You say this, but it makes the widow curious, which lady can win your heart so much." ”

The grandson smiled and said nothing.

Kou Sheng guessed to himself, "Is it the girl of Dr. Zhang's family, or the sister of General Sun's family?" Oh... I know, it must be Zhao Yanyue, the eldest lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion! ”

"King!" Gong's grandson looked a little embarrassed, and said, "The woman I want to marry is not a famous family, on the contrary, she is just an ordinary commoner." ”

"That's weird," Kou Sheng said, rubbing his chin in disbelief, "how could a doctor like a civilian?" And you want to make her a wife? Doesn't the doctor know the importance of being a wife? ”

"Your Majesty naturally knows, but it is really hard to find, and Your Majesty is willing to give up anything for her, including the right to get it in exchange for his wife."

Kou Sheng looked at Gongsun Zidu with the eyes of a madman, and then turned his eyes to look at Tai'a Jian for a moment, "According to the widow, if you really like the woman, just keep her by your side as a concubine, as for the position of the main wife, the widow will look for you in the future." ”

Seeing that he intended to refuse, the grandson simply bowed to Kou Sheng, "The son has only this wish, please fulfill the king!" ”

"You...", but after thinking about it, although the grandson is a puddle of mud that can't support the wall at this time, it is better than his future resentment and disobedience, plus this is his housework...

Thinking of this, Kou Sheng finally sighed, "That's it, if you insist on this, I'll let you go, but the dignified doctor's wife is not a civilian woman, right?" It's not nice to say. ”

"This—" The grandson hesitated.

Kou Sheng thought for a moment and smiled, "By the way, I remember that Doctor Ying didn't have a sister in the countryside?" ”

"The king is saying that she should be the sister of filial piety..."

"Not bad! Although Dr. Ying is dead, he has made great achievements, and it is not in vain to let the woman you like marry you as his sister. ”

Kou Sheng took the initiative to give advice to him, which made his grandson all overjoyed, and thanked him repeatedly, "King Xie is complete!" King Xie..."

"However," Kou Sheng interrupted him again, "Dr. Ying is dead, but the funeral has not yet been completed, and the marriage may have to be postponed." ”

The grandson was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "That's natural." ”

"There is one more thing," Kou Sheng slowly walked to the side of the desk and sat down with the corner of his clothes, "This time to attack Xu Dajie, you and Doctor Ying have worked hard and are not wrong, but Doctor Ying unfortunately died, but the Banner of the Arc was raised by Uncle Ying to the head of the city, so this handsome position is still..."

Kou Sheng wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to look at his grandson.

The grandson naturally understood what he meant, and without waiting for Kou Sheng to continue, he spoke, "All the kings are in charge!" ”

"Hmm!" Kou Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

After the grandsons left, a person finally came out of a pillar in the court.

This person is none other than Zhao Guogong.

"The King." Zhao Guogong was born low.

Kou Sheng stared at the teacup in his hand without looking back, and picked out a smile of unknown meaning on his lips, "Can Zhao Guogong hear me?" You said that Gongsun Tzu had the intention of rebellion, and said that he went to Zhongli to raise big things, but what do you see it is? ”

Kou Sheng's eyes looked at Tai'a Jian who was placed on the side of the case, and instantly suppressed his smile, and said coldly, "Do you know that the relationship between the monarch and the minister is a capital crime?" ”

Zhao Guogong immediately sank, knelt at Kou Sheng's feet, and said tremblingly, "The old minister should die!" It was the old minister who lost his words. ”

"Hmph," Kou Sheng snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves, "Okay, the widow doesn't want to see you, you can retreat first." ”

Zhao Guogong repented of his original appearance, and waved his hands at Chao Liaosheng, "The old minister knows that the king must think that the old minister slandered Dr. Gongsun with ill intentions at this time, but the old minister is thinking about the king!" ”

"Zhao Guogong! Didn't the widow say that you should step down? A hint of displeasure lifted up on Kou Sheng's face.

Zhao Guogong still stood still.

Kou Sheng finally threw the teacup in his hand to the ground in annoyance, "The widow sees that you are the one who really wants to rebel!" How? Can you rely on the fact that you are an old man in the middle of the court and not take the widow in your eyes? ”

"The old minister doesn't dare! It's just that it's about the cause of filial piety's death, and there is something that the old minister must hand over to the king..."

"Doctor Ying...", Kou Sheng's face full of anger was stunned.

Zhao Guogong took the opportunity to take out a bag from his cuff and respectfully presented it to Kou Sheng.

"What is this?"

Zhao Guogong untied the bag and poured out an arrow from it.

"This was taken from Xiaoyou, and it was my Zheng Guo's arrow."

"How is this possible?" When Kou Sheng heard this explosive news, he could no longer see any other expression on his face except shock and astonishment.

Zhao Guogong glanced at him quietly, a little proud in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to answer.

Kou Sheng was extremely angry, staring at a pair of eyes as if he wanted to eat someone alive, "Can you find out who did it?" The boss who dares to murder his own people! I'm going to kill that man! ”

Zhao Guogong's eyes seemed to bend a smile, and he hid his hands in his sleeves, and said to Kou Sheng, "This matter is revealed by Mr. Sai Zhong, and I haven't had time to investigate it deeply... But please also ask the king to think about it for himself, think about who benefited the most from the death of Yingxiaoyou, and who was jealous and hated when he was teaching the army, and chased Yingxiaoyou to the street with a halberd, and the other old ministers really shouldn't say much. ”

Kou Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then recalled that when his grandson explained why he went to Zhongli, he did vaguely mention Yingxiao You.

Inevitably, he was suspicious, "You mean, all this is done by Gongsun Du?" ”

Zhao Guogong only smiled silently.

Kou Sheng furrowed his eyebrows, "If that's the case, the grandsons and grandsons are..."
