Chapter 272: Forced to marry an old man 5

The general was extremely excited: "Don't you wait, I heard that Xia Ji is beautiful when I was in Zheng Guo." Once, when King Chen took her to Huaiyang to buy, I had inadvertently caught a glimpse. Although I didn't look at it carefully, her back was fascinating at the time, and I always remembered it afterwards......"

The ministers laughed and pointed at him one by one: "And, even a back can fascinate you like this......? Hahaha, it seems that you have been a soldier for a long time, look, you are greedy, or I will give you a few big beauties?"

Zi turned red, and suddenly turned to King Chuzhuang: "Your Majesty, you have seen Xia Ji, you say, is she beautiful?"

King Chuzhuang laughed and didn't think it was a pestle.

......

King Chuzhuang was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Since you have no objections, the widow will choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and Naxia Ji will be the concubine......"

Everyone was congratulating.

In the midst of this congratulatory sound, a loud voice came: "The king is slow!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the man who was at the head of the ranks of the advisors. The man was tall and burly, not angry and arrogant, but he wore a faint golden mask on his face, and it is said that he had worn such a mask since birth, and he was born with such a mask that he could not take off.

However, this mask did not affect his image in the slightest, anyone could see that it was a natural beautiful man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a lofty instrument, as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the audience was compared to him.

When King Chuzhuang heard this opposition, he was surprised and said unhappily: "Qu Wu, why are you opposed?

This person's name is Qu Wu, and he is a famous strategist of Chu State, especially in the war against Chen State for more than a year, he has repeatedly made strange plans and is infallible, and he can really be said to be the first person to make great achievements. Therefore, as soon as he spoke, King Chuzhuang had to be worried.

Qu Wu was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "My king must not marry Xia Ji!"

King Chuzhuang was slightly angry: "Why can't it? The soldiers have gained a lot of beautiful women, can't this king want just a woman?"

"The king can accept the beauties of the world, but Xia Ji can't. ”

"Why?"

Not only the king of Chuzhuang, but even the ministers also looked at each other.

Qu Wu said loudly: "My king called on the princes to □□ Chen Guo because King Chen acted perversely, did not revise government decrees, was debaucherous and corrupt, and complained. In our mobilization order before the war, we counted the sins of Chen Linggong, and the whole world knows that our king is guilty of □□, and now he has accepted Xia Ji, indicating that he is greedy for her beauty. Lust is called fornication, and fornication is punishable by severe punishment. The Book of Zhou says: 'Preach morality and be cautious in punishment.' King Wen of Zhou was thus able to establish the Zhou Dynasty. To preach morality means to try to promote morality, and to be cautious in punishment means to try to avoid punishment. If the division of the princes is to get a heavy punishment, it is not prudent. Please consider my opinion, Your Majesty!"

King Chuzhuang was stunned by this great truth.

Indeed, before going out to the army, every time a war mobilization order is issued to the people, of course, it will be justified and morally noble, so that it is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness. However, the essence of war is to rob the enemy's wealth, plunder the enemy's wives and daughters and hug for pleasure, otherwise, who is willing to shed blood and sweat to fight desperately?

However, King Chuzhuang looked forward to his own pride, and everyone knew that this was enough, but it was not so embarrassing for him to say it in front of everyone.
