Chapter 294: The Carnival of Group Marriage 1

She suddenly shouted: "Zi Ling!!"

Qu Wu, who had already walked to the door, stiffened his back. However, he did not look back and walked out in stride.

The defeat in the Battle of Yicheng did not cause much shock to King Chuzhuang at first, and it was not until the Jin army pressed the border that he panicked.

At this moment, Zheng sent an envoy to the king of Chuzhuang, saying that the Jin side was willing to exchange prisoners of war with the Chu state.

Since the Battle of Fox Hill, after Zheng Mugong turned his back on his son-in-law's country and completely defected to the state of Chu, he certainly had a little weight to speak in front of King Chuzhuang.

It turned out that Zhi Gang, the nephew of Gou Lin's father, the first minister of the Jin State, was a hostage in the Chu State. Zhigang's father was a favorite of Jin Chenggong, and he recently assisted the Chinese army, and also married a daughter of Zheng Mugong.

In this way, Zheng Mugong became the in-laws of the two countries.

Zhi-sama likes Zhigang's son very much. So I tried every possible way to get my son back.

According to the international practice at that time, the Jin State and the Chu State sent hostages to each other, and the one sent by the Chu State to the Jin State was the youngest son of the King of Chu Zhuang. Now that the two countries are at war, the safety of the protons cannot be guaranteed, so they are all in a hurry to return home.

Zheng Mugong's letter stated that he had asked for an exchange for Zhifu at his daughter's request to return the bodies of Prince Chu and Xiang Lao through Zheng Guo.

The Jin Kingdom has acquiesced to this condition, just saying that Xiang Lao's body can be obtained, but Xia Ji must personally return to Zheng Guo to greet him.

At the same time as King Chuzhuang received the letter, he also received a handwritten letter from Xiang Lao □□ Xia Ji, asking to return to his mother country to welcome back the body of his deceased husband. His words were sincere, only saying that he was favored by Xiang Lao, and he was burdened with the notoriety of "Kefu", so he must do his best to welcome back her husband's body, otherwise he would not be able to repay Xiang Lao's kindness during his lifetime.

King Chuzhuang immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the matter.

At the meeting, the ministers chattered and discussed, each with their own opinions, and made a lot of trouble. However, because he was seriously injured, he was bedridden after returning and did not have time to attend the meeting.

Some people say that the little prince should of course be exchanged back, and it is a good deal.

Some people also say that Zhi Gang's father can influence the will of the monarch of the Jin State, and if he changes this hostage back, is it not cost-effective? Of course, everyone dares to have such an opinion because the little prince of Chu is only one of the many sons of King Chuzhuang, and his biological mother is not favored, so he has no status in front of King Chuzhuang.

When the dispute continued, King Chu Zhuang turned to Qu Wu according to the usual practice: "Qu Wu, what do you think?"

Qu Wu was not in a hurry: "Zheng Guoren is now two-sided pleaser, neither willing to offend the Chu State, but also afraid of offending the Jin State, now that the Jin State has asked them to be the middleman, they naturally want to do this and the old thing." After the battle of Yicheng, Jin Chu had already torn his face, and the little prince was stranded in the Jin Kingdom. The Zhigang in our hands is only the son of the minister of the Jin Kingdom, but the little prince is the biological son of the real king. Exchanging wisdom for the little prince is a good deal. As for Xiang Lao's body, although it is not so important, but Xiang Lao fought for the Chu State all his life, even if he was defeated in the hands of King Chen, and he lost the battle of Yicheng, but these failures cannot be completely attributed to him. The soldiers generally had sympathy for him. If his body can be exchanged, it can also comfort the hearts of the soldiers of the world, so that they can see the benevolence of the king, and they will serve the country even more in the future......"
