Chapter 175 Good generals are hard to find
He has long legs, and he walks with wind under his feet. Coupled with the hurried steps, it didn't take long to walk a long distance. The wind swept up the back of his head and haired me, a little harsh.
Xu Qinghe looked at Chu Lingshen like this, and knew that he was really anxious in his heart, and he didn't delay in Chu Lingshen's palace, so he hurriedly followed him forward, all the way to the direction of the palace of the king of Chu.
When the two of them went to the palace of the King of Chu, the cry was already as loud as the sky. Chu Lingshen frowned, forcibly suppressed the sadness in his heart, separated the crowd in a few steps and walked forward, all the way to the inner room, and then stopped.
When he stopped and looked up, he saw the lifeless face of the King of Chu. The illness in the past few days has consumed all the energy of the King of Chu.
In the past, the high-spirited and majestic face was already yellow and rotten at this time, and the cheeks were scary and emaciated, and they were deeply sunken in, which was a little terrifying.
Looking at King Chu's current appearance, and thinking of his invincible appearance in his memory, Chu Lingshen's eyes turned a little red. He took a deep breath and stepped forward, "You all stand down first." I'll clean it up here. Today's events, if someone reveals half a word, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. ”
The king of Chu is the son of this world, and now that he is gone, Chu Lingshen is the king who is about to ascend the throne. When everyone in the palace of King Chu heard this, they were all silent for a while, and they didn't dare to refute it, so they hurriedly left.
Leaving Chu Lingshen in vain, and Xu Qinghe, who followed closely behind him, and the lifeless King of Chu lying on the bed. Looking at Chu Lingshen's sad appearance in front of him, Xu Qinghe was a little unbearable, but he also knew that now was not the time to be sad.
He gritted his teeth, looked forward, and asked, "Now the king is gone." What are the plans of the son? ”
The figure in front of Xu Qinghe was stunned at first when he heard this, and the whole person was a little stiff. He was silent for a while, and then replied to Xu Qinghe: "I haven't thought about it yet." My father went a little too suddenly, too suddenly. ”
Listening to what Chu Lingshen said, Xu Qinghe sighed softly. He knew that Chu Lingshen was disrupted by the sudden death of the King of Chu at the moment, and he was a little panicked.
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghe was a little glad that he arrived in time yesterday. If it's a day later, things may be irreparable.
He pondered in his heart for a moment, and then discussed with Chu Lingshen: "Shizi." The big picture is still uncertain, and it is still a turbulent time. It's better for us to block the news first, keep it secret, and still pretend to be calm on the surface, so that outsiders don't notice, it's good. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qinghe paused slightly, and then continued: "Naturally, I know that this is a little wronged by the king. But the situation is forced to do so. I also hope that the prince will understand Weichen's painstaking efforts, and don't insist on acting according to his own preferences. ”
Listening to Xu Qinghe's earnest words, Chu Lingshen lowered his head and was silent for a long time, then he looked up and replied to him, his voice was a little muffled: "Qinghe is very hardworking, I naturally understand." Let's do what Kiyozuru thinks. It's just that the news that my father is gone, how can I hide it? ”
"The king is seriously ill these days, and it must be clear to the government and the opposition. It is better to use the jade seal on the king, and plan to say that the king of Chu is in poor health, and the prince will supervise the country. How is it? Xu Qinghe said with some confidence.
After learning the news of the death of the King of Chu, Xu Qinghe had been thinking silently in his heart. At this time, he had already thought of a good idea in his heart, and he was confident and confident.
Although it cannot be said that such an idea is 100% convinced by everyone, as long as most people believe it, their goal will be achieved.
Chu Lingshen trusted Xu Qinghe, and there was really nothing wrong with this idea, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and didn't say anything else. So the two of them took advantage of the fact that it was still early and nervously prepared with gongs and drums.
The next morning, as Xu Qinghe expected, when the will was read, the ministers really did not suspect it. Occasionally, one or two were a little skeptical, and seeing that everyone was trusting and determined, they didn't say anything anymore.
In this way, the two of them barely stabilized the situation in Chu State. It's just that after all, this is only a temporary expedient measure, and it won't be hidden for a long time after all. If the matter is revealed in the future, it will inevitably be another bloody storm.
At present, the current situation in Chu State is still very turbulent, and it is calm on the surface, but in fact, it is already turbulent and dark tide in private. Not only that, but the good ministers of Chu State are still supported by Xu Qinghe, but the good generals can't be taken out by anyone.
The generals of the Chu State are either intoxicated with power and tricks, and they are not right-minded; Either it's just an embroidered pillow or a bag of grass, and you can't take it out. It really answered that sentence that no one is available. Thinking like this, both of them couldn't help but feel a little worried.
When no one was available, Xu Qinghe thought of Guan Ziyi, a hussar general who had galloped on the battlefield and was invincible a few years ago, but had no intention of career and had retired for many years.
Guan Yilai's sleeves are breezy, and when he returns, he also goes chic, not taking away a cloud. He had no intention of fighting with the intrigue above the court, so he simply went into hiding, and now he lives in the mountains, and he is very chic and romantic.
Now is the time to employ people, and the first available candidate for a good general that flashes through Xu Qinghe's mind is Guan Ziyi. Thinking of this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Chu Lingshen and said, "Shizi." Do you remember Guan Ziyi, General Guan? ”
"Hussar generals? He was brave and good at fighting, and I remember him. Chu Lingshen's eyes lit up first, and then quickly dimmed, "But the general has now retreated to the mountains and forests, where can he find it." ”
"When Weichen was in charge of the general as an official, he also had some friendship. If the prince is willing, it is better to go to the mountains to find the general Guan and pay a visit, maybe the general will be willing to go out of the mountain. Xu Qinghe smiled slightly and said to Chu Lingshen.
Hearing his words, Chu Lingshen raised his head, and his eyes lit up completely: "Qinghe actually knows where General Guan is right now?" That's just a good thing. In that case, let us not delay, and go to him at once. ”
Xu Qinghe smiled and bowed his head, and immediately walked out without delay. Seeing Xu Qinghe take the first step, Chu Lingshen and Xu Qinghe went to the mountains to visit Guan Ziyi together.
The mountain where Guan Ziyi lives is not too far from the palace. And both of them were young and strong, and it didn't take much effort to walk to the mountain where Guan Ziyi lived in seclusion.
As soon as I stepped into the mountain forest, a burst of Qingyue's piano sound came out. Occasionally, there is a woman who sings in harmony, and her voice is very graceful and listening, so that people can't help but want to listen.
"It seems that Guan Ziyi is in the mountains right now." The two of them invariably crossed such thoughts in their minds, looked at each other, their eyes flashed with a little joy, hurriedly walked in a hurry, quickened their pace, and walked straight in the direction from which the voice came.
After walking a little effort, there is a bamboo forest in front of you. The bamboo forest is deep, and I don't know where it leads. The two brushed away the layers of bamboo in front of them, and after walking not far forward, they saw a pleasing picture.
I saw a man sitting cross-legged on the flat rocks in front of him, with a piano in front of him, his fingers plucked at will, and the sound of the piano came out of it.
Another woman was beside him, dancing around him and whispering. The voice is very tactful and listening. Both of them are dressed in white, which is quite a bit of a fairy couple.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chu Lingshen's eyes lit up. There is no other reason, the man in front of him is none other than the long-lost hussar general, Guan Ziyi. Seeing Guan Ziyi, Chu Lingshen couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, looked at him and hurriedly called: "Hussar general!" ”
This sudden voice interrupted Guan Ziyi's thoughts. His fingers paused slightly, and the sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. The woman dancing on the side also stopped, standing beside Guan Ziyi and looking timidly at the comer, looking a little overwhelmed.
"Shizi? Right Prime Minister? Guan Ziyi looked at the visitor, frowned and looked at it for a long time before he recognized it, "What are you two doing here with me?" ”
Listening to what Guan Ziyi said, Xu Qinghe hurriedly took a few steps forward, looked at his figure and said earnestly, "Ziyi." When you and I were officials, we also had some friendships. Now I have a reluctant request, I wonder if Ziyi can agree? ”
After that, Xu Qinghe didn't care about how Guan Ziyi's face changed, he just said: "The current situation in Chu is very turbulent, and it is the time to employ people. If the general is willing, can he return to the state of Chu? ”
As he spoke, his eyes kept glued to Guan Ziyi. Although Chu Lingshen on the side didn't speak, his eyes were also extremely focused, staring at Guan Ziyi, quite eager.
Guan Ziyi ignored them, and only turned his head to look at his wife: "Wan'er." Go back first. I'll deal with it here. When you go back, be careful, don't stumble and hurt yourself. ”
When the woman heard this, she nodded obediently, didn't speak, let alone look at Chu Lingshen and the others, and walked away.
In the meantime, Guan Ziyi's eyes have been staring at the woman intently and affectionately, refusing to turn around to Chu Lingshen and the others. When the woman was out of sight, he withdrew his eyes, looked at the two of them, and said coldly, "What does this have to do with me?" ”
His eyes stared straight at Xu Qinghe, with a cold meaning: "Qinghe." Although you and I had some friendship when we were officials, but now that I have been in seclusion for so long, that friendship has long faded. ”
"I have advised you to go into seclusion with you, but you insist that you will be born in the court and the opposition and do your best to serve the Lord. The Tao is not the same, and the fate of you and me was dispersed as early as that time. ”
After that, Guan Ziyi withdrew his eyes and looked at Chu Lingshen again: "Shizi." I've been in the court for some time, but that's been a long time ago. Now I don't care about the world, I don't want to go out of the mountain, and I hope that the world will forgive me. ”
"But weren't you a hussar general, fighting bravely on the battlefield, and being brave and unparalleled?"
