Huang Xie bowed to the ground again and said, "The sin of the minister, ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone!" “

Zhang Lu said: "I hope that the left disciples will go to the palace to treat their crimes, and the ministers should report to the king." - Don't frighten the princess! ”

Huang Xie said: "The princess is a minister, the monarch, and the lord." He has the blood of the prince. The minister is dying, dare to frighten the princess! ”

With an indescribable mood, the two of them took a car and headed towards the palace. In front of the palace, the two said goodbye to each other, Huang Xie returned to Chu Palace, and Zhang Lu went to Zhangtai Palace.

Since the death of the Queen Mother, King Qin has rarely gone to the palace, and usually tunes the piano and plays the sword in Zhangtai Palace. Seeing Zhang Lu asking to see, I don't know what happened, and the order was summoned in the side hall.

Zhang Lu went to the side hall first, the king of Qin changed his clothes, and then arrived. When Zhang Lu saw the King of Qin coming in, he bowed down to the ground and said: "The minister deserves to die, and the king is guilty!" ”

King Qin said: "What crime? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The prince of Chu is dead, and the ministers don't know!" ”

King Qin also exclaimed: "Prince Chu? Why die? ”

Zhang Lu said: "It has been a few days since his death returned to Chu!" ”

King Qin was silent for a moment, and said, "Dare to ask for illness, but also die?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Yes! ”

King Qin fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Why? ”

Zhang Lu said: "I can't afford to hear that the king of Chu will not be able to ......"

King Qin interrupted: "Yes, the Qing is what he said, and the widow has already allowed his Fu to ask him!" His death is before it, may he hear the truth! ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, he immediately sweated. After receiving the news of the prince's escape, he did not immediately think of the impact of this incident on the international situation, but simply felt that it might affect the diplomatic relations between Qin and Chu. But the diplomatic relations between Qin and Chu are actually things that affect the general trend of the world. I didn't even think about it, I only felt that the Qin State had been deceived and betrayed, and I was completely swayed by a feeling of humiliation. King Qin's words completely reminded Zhang Lu, he straightened up, wiped his sweat, and bowed down again: "Rong Chen Sizhi!" ”

King Qin said: "Wu'an Junshi and Han fought in Nanyang. The death of the crown prince, what will happen to him? ”

Zhang Lu tried his best to sober up his brain, and thought for a long time and said: "Chu is not moving, and he is not involved in Nanyang!" ”

King Qin said again: "If Chu will come to the aid of Han, what can Qin do about it?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The minister immediately ordered a five-big doctor to lead 10,000 people and send a letter to the valley, thinking that Wu Anjun would come to help." ”

King Qin said: "Just order Sima Jin to lead it!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Respectfully! ”

King Qin said: "Chu Zuo disciple Huang Xie is good at letting Chu Qian, and he is disloyal to Qin, so he can be ordered to cut himself!" ”

After a nervous thought, Zhang Lu finally came to his senses and admonished: "Rest as a minister, born to favor his master." The prince will be used to rest, so it is better to return without guilt and kiss Chu. ”

King Qin said: "The prince returns to Chu, and Qin and Chu will fight." Huang Xie, the wise man of the world, if the order returns to Chu, the cover and the tiger will also add wings! “

Zhang Lu said: "If you are a wise man, what you do must be so-called." Qin is strong and Chu is weak, and Chu must also be cautious; Chu is strong and Qin is weak, and there is no Huang Xie Zhengtong. “

King Qin stared at Zhang Lu and said, "It's as Qing said!" Send him away. “

Zhang Lu said: "The left disciple has to be sent, and the princess stays?" “

King Qin thought for a while and said, "But listen to the princess!" “

The two carefully discussed the situation of the world in the palace, carefully analyzed the trends of various countries, and agreed that Han and Qin were intricately mixed, the threat was the greatest, and the strength was the weakest, and turning Han into Qin was still the main task for a period of time in the future. In order to ensure the realization of this strategic intent, it is necessary to win over the state of Chu; And when Prince Chu goes, he must have discovered the intentions of the Qin State, and is ready to seek his own interests when the Qin State is at its weakest!

Under this premise, both agreed that it was feasible to let Huang Xi go back. A deterrent: Qin is not afraid of Huang Xie and the state of Chu. The second is to win over: if Huang Xie is killed, Chu has only one way to confront Qin; And if Huang Xie is released, Chu State still retains a glimmer of possibility of friendship with Qin! This line may be used well, it can affect the general trend of the world!

Coming out of King Qin, Zhang Lu was full of confidence in the confrontation with Huang Xie!

The next morning, Huang Xie naturally would not be able to add. Zhang Lu announced that Huang Xie had secretly released the prince of Chu, and Huang Xie was waiting for the Chu Palace. The ministers moved and proposed to severely punish Huang Xie. King Qin said: "Huang Xie, Chu people, non-Qin people." Be loyal to the Lord and become famous! Huang Xie's crime will be punished by Xiangguo. Then the ministers stopped talking.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhang Lu took Mang Wei and led a hundred swordsmen into the Chu Palace. Huang Xie did not wear a coat, and greeted him in front of the door; Mr. Mangshen Gongzi and Mr. Che You and Mr. Hu Zhongji are also around. Zhang Lu walked straight in and asked in front of the steps, "Where is the princess?" “

Huang Xie said: "It's still in the back house." “

Zhang Lu said: "Please see the princess!" “

The prince did not appear for a few days, and the princess knew that the situation was not good, but she did not know in detail, and never asked Huang Xie, but she was nervous in her heart. Today, Huang Xie is clothed, Zhang Lu led the troops to arrive, and someone has already reported to the princess. The princess knew that her worst fears had finally happened! At this time, a female officer came over and reported: "Zhang Xiang, please see the princess!" “

The princess said, "Let me change my clothes!" “

Waiting by a group of maids, the princess put on her makeup and was dressed neatly, and she was about to move forward. The female official said: "The princess is inconvenient, so you can summon Zhang Xiang to see her!" “

The princess said: "The prince is not here, and the man can enter the back house!" “

Zhang Lu waited patiently in front of the front hall for a long time, and finally heard the sound of the door of the back house, and then the dark incense flowed. A group of women appeared on the steps.

Zhang Lu said: "Minister Qin Zhang Lu, I would like to see the princess!" “

The princess said: "Zhang Xiang leads troops into the palace, and he will be taught!" “

Zhang Lu said: "When the minister hears that the prince is dead, dare to enlighten the princess to know!" “

The princess's tears immediately flowed, and her guess came true! But she couldn't hesitate, and asked Huang Xie sadly: "What does Zhang Xiang mean?" “

Huang Xie immediately cooperated, fell to the ground, cried silently, and said: "The king of Chu is sick, and he urgently summons the prince, but he has not had time to report the princess, and the minister's sin is also!" He paused.

The princess looked at Huang Xie and said suddenly: "The concubine treats the left disciple like a father, and the left disciple treats the concubine like an enemy!" Huang Xie suddenly choked up, and said in a sad voice, "The sins of the ministers are unforgivable, and even if you die, it is not enough to repay the princess and the king of Qin!" “

The princess looked at Zhang Lu and said: "The concubine has fled, and the concubine does not dare to say anything, but she will wait for the sinful family and wait for the king's life!" He bowed on the steps and took the female officials away.

From beginning to end, Zhang Lu bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look up at the princess.

After the princess left, Huang Xie said: "The minister knows that his sins cannot be forgiven, but he doesn't know what punishment the king will make, so he doesn't dare to judge himself, and he will be the king!" “

Zhang Lu looked at Huang Xie and said, "The left disciple entered Chu with the prince, what can I do if I return to the general?" “

Huang Xie said: "The prince is in Qin, Qin is only courteous and respectful, no one loses morality, and the sin is only one person." “

Zhang Lu did not follow Huang Xie's words, but asked again: "When the prince enters Chu, what can he do if he recovers?" “

At this time, Huang Xie came to his senses a little, Zhang Lu had something to say to himself, so he said: "Dare to invite Xiangguo to sit in the hall, and Rong Chen will present it face-to-face!" "Invite Zhang Lu and Mang Wei to sit in the middle of the front hall, and sit down with Mang Shen and the others.

Huang Xie said: "The minister reported to Xiangguo, the king was difficult to get up, and urgently summoned the prince to return to the country, and with the grace of Xiangguo and the virtue of the king, he had to send the prince Fu to ask." Now that the prince has returned, the minister's wish has been fulfilled, and he dares to repay the king and the prime minister. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The return of the prince was a few days ago, when he was sick, the left disciple should not be deceived again. Now that the prince has returned, Chu Zhen has gone, and Zuo Tuqi will fight with Qin? ”

Huang Xie said: "I didn't dare." The return of the prince is also the sin of the minister, and I hope that the king and the prince will not sin against the king and the prince. Chu and Qin made good friends, not only for a while, the queen mother came first, and Mrs. Huayang followed, and they got married forever. The return of the prince will also be good with Qin, and he will not go against each other. ”

Zhang Lu said: "I wish to hear the ambition of the left disciples." ”

Huang Xie now finally understood Zhang Lu's intentions, that is, to find out the strategic intentions of the Chu State after the return of the crown prince of Chu and even his accession to the throne, especially whether there was any intention to confront Qin. In fact, Huang Xie had long considered the future development of the Chu State, and under Zhang Lu's questioning, he decided to say some of it. He cleared his thoughts and said, "Chu lost Yingdu, and it will be five years out of ten. Chu lost the material of Yunmeng, the wealth of Nanyang, and lived in Chen with Han and Wei, and he was indisputable. Who? If the Chu people don't want it, they can't do it.

"The people who Qin Zhi received were only Hangu, Nanyang and Ying'er. Hangu and Nanyang are all connected to the land of Han Wei, and Chu Wei can also reach it. Then the solidity of the letter and the danger of the city are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Those who are worried about Chu, but Ying. Chen Zhi is in Ying, thousands of miles apart, and there are mountains and rivers blocking each other, and its momentum is difficult to pass. Qin Deying is more than ten years old, and the people practice Qin law, and they don't think about it. Ying and Chen, but the boat is connected, but the boat is facing each other, Qin must know; And Chu is in the lower reaches, and the war is unfavorable. If there is such a number, Chu will not attack Yingye. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Qin Fang fought with the Three Jins, and Chu Ning helped the Jin to attack Qin Hu? ”

Huang Xie said: "If Jin is strong, Chu will help Jin, and if Qin is strong, Chu will help Qin, it is inevitable, you can know if you don't ask!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "Now that the Qin side is fighting with the Three Jins, the left disciples know everything, and they will have something to teach me." ”

Huang Xie said: "The three Jins, Han, Wei, and Zhao. Fang Qi came out of Jinye, and the world was shocked, thinking that he would dominate the world. Now the Wei capital Anyi has been returned to Qin, and the Han capital Pingyang will also be returned. The rest, but Zhao Taiyuan. If the arm of the three Jin is broken, the three Jin are powerless. ”

Zhang Lu said: "If you take Taiyuan, what is the want?" ”

Huang Xie said: "In the past, Taiyuan and Handan were only connected to the party. King Wu destroyed Zhongshan, but through the well. However, it is difficult to do the twists and turns, and it is better to go to the party as quickly as possible. If you pull out Han to the party, then Taiyuan can go down! ”

Zhang Lu said: "If you pull out the party, what can I do? ”

Huang Xie said: "Xiangguo is not bullying! Wu Anjun encircled the wild king, not only the way of Pingyang, but also the way of the party. Ji River and Xingyang, west of Chenggao belong to Qin, how can you be on the party alone! ”

Zhang Lu said: "Since the left disciple knows the meaning of the king of the wilderness, what words will he say to the king of Chu?" ”

Huang Xie said: "Chu is very weak and incapable of fighting with the princes. I mean that the king of Chu will lie down and watch the battle. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Qin is fighting with the princes, Chu is strong, where will he go?" ”

Huang Xie said: "Although Qin is weak, it is not as good as Qilu's general; Although Qin is rich, it is not as good as the fish salt of Qilu; The danger of Qindi is not as easy as Qilu. ”

Zhang Lu said: "If it is true, although there is no prince as a hostage, Qin and Chu are also allies. ”
