Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: Sure enough, I can’t stand for myself, so it’s better to update it in the morning and the night (huh?)

In the spring of the twenty-ninth year of King Zhou's death (491 BC), the Central Plains fell into war again. Jin State, Zhao Wei, Han San Qin attacked Qin, took Qin Shaoliang, Qin Huigong died violently, and the Qin army had to retreat. The Hexi dispute of the clan will continue until the autumn and winter...

When the northern kingdom was still a chaos of strife, Jiangnan was already intoxicated by the charming spring, the fields beside Gusu were full of bright flowers, and the perch caught from the five lakes were so delicious that they seemed to be bouncing around in your mouth.

But looking at the fish soup on the table in front of him, Wen Zhong had no appetite at all, pacing back and forth in the simple living room, restless.

Their lord, Goujian, King of Yue, who entered Wu State as a servant three years ago, was summoned into the palace again by Fuchai, King of Wu. It took a long time to go, it was too long!

Looking at the cuckoo standing on the weeping willow outside the window, a terrifying thought popped into his mind, he stopped abruptly, and said to his colleague Fan Li, who was sitting beside the table, spitting fishbone, "Uncle Shao, Do you think your Majesty will have..."

"Absolutely not." Fan Li was originally a madman from the state of Chu, with a handsome face and a solid inner body. He looked elegant with a little dressing up. Today, however, he has taken off the high crown belt of the Chu people, and is wearing a low-key deep linen clothes with short sleeves, like a low-level vertical man, not like a doctor in a country.

He was more calm than Wen Zhong, Gou Jian was summoned by his husband this morning and never returned. Although he knew in his heart that it was not good, he could still drink the fish soup slowly, because Fan Li knew that only when he had sufficient physical strength could he go to Wu Guojun and ministers. deal with. Seeing his true colors in times of crisis, it is no wonder that Ji Ran called him a "talent of kings and tyrants", and he was worthy of what he said when he accompanied Gou Jian into Wu State that day, "Within the four seals, the affairs of the common people are not as good as seeds. In addition, the system of the enemy country, the decisive thing, the seed is not as good as Li!"

Fan Li drank the fish soup, put down his chopsticks and chopsticks, and said to Wen Zhong: "Ziqin has come to Wu to pay tribute this time. Treasures are good to play, and beautiful jade and silk are good. As long as there is a portion of King Wu, there will be no shortage of Dazai Xi. Bo Xi is greedy. , has always regarded Yue State as his treasure land, he is the most favored minister of King Wu, since there is no news from him, it can be seen that things are far less bad than you and I think."

Wen Zhong sighed: "I don't know what happened. Recently, King Wu's attitude towards the king has improved, but Wang Sunluo, who came to summon today, suddenly became more righteous..."

Fan Li shook his head and said, "Who else could there be? Wu Zixu must be making trouble for what happened today!"

In Wu Weiqi, although the humiliation, but the method is appropriate, it is not dangerous. If there was anyone in the state of Wu that Fan Li feared the most, it would be Wu Zixu, the prime minister of the state of Wu. He couldn't help but think of the situation three years ago when he accompanied Gou Jian and his wife into Wu as a hostage...

...

Three years ago (494 BC) on the winter solstice, the King of Yue and his party arrived in the State of Wu. At that time, the State of Wu was having a feast for the guests, who came to celebrate with the teacher from the State of Chen. As soon as Fan Li accompanied Gou Jian into the hall, the singing and dancing, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and everyone looked at them with a playful gaze.

In the battle with Li, this man defeated King Helu of Wu, and killed Wu Jun to throw away his armor and armor. He was known as a hero of Yuyue. How powerful he was.

But what about today? However, Goujian bowed his knees and lowered his head. When he saw King Wu sitting on the king's couch from a distance, he fell to the ground, bowed his head three times, and called himself "Goujian, a humble minister of the East China Sea"...

Wu Guojun and ministers laughed loudly, and if they were ordinary people, they would be so embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack to crawl in, or smashed to death on the pillar Hassan. But Goujian didn't take it seriously. He said with a mournful expression, "I am ashamed of the emperor, and I am inferior to the land. The servant of the Wu State, holding a dustpan and broom as the servant of the King of Wu, can save this short life.

King Wu was triumphant and said with a smile, Goujian, do you think it's too much for the widow to make you so enslaved? Qiu Yu, the first ruler of Wu State, He Lu, has not forgotten it yet.

There was a hint of temptation in Fuchai's words. At this moment, Goujian's lord and ministers were me as fish and meat, and people as swordsmen. He gritted his teeth, and once again pretended to be greedy for life and fear of death. I hope the king can forgive...

Seeing Goujian's appearance, King Wu also looked at each other and laughed with his favorite minister, Dazai Bo Xi, and minimized his vigilance against the Yue Kingdom.

However, Fan Li clearly remembered that there was only one person in the Wu Palace who didn't smile. He didn't even drink a mouthful of wine or eat a mouthful of meat. During the whole process, a pair of eagle eyes kept staring at Goujian!

Wu Zixu!

While the others were drinking happily, Wu Guoxiangbang stood up. His eyes were fiery, and Fan Li couldn't help but feel guilty and didn't dare to look at him. His voice was like thunder, and every word he said was like a sharp arrow. , shoot in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom!

"Flying birds are above the blue sky, and the people of Yu want to bend their bows and shoot them. If they lie in the Huachi and gather in the courtyard? Is there any reason not to shoot? It was very difficult for us to capture him, so we accepted the surrender of the Yue Kingdom and spared his life. Now he has come to the door by himself. This is a good time for the chef to sharpen his knives and slaughter the birds. Your Majesty, please behead Goujian in the palace!"

His expression was stern, his words, Goujian's face changed greatly, Fan Li clenched his fists, and Wu Guojun and ministers who were laughing and laughing in the hall were suddenly silent. Wang was a little unhappy.

"Xiangbang..." Fu Chai tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction, and said to Wu Zixu with a smile: "The widow heard that the execution of the killing suit will bring disaster to the third world. The widow did not pity King Yue and did not kill him, but Afraid of the Heavenly Emperor's blame, he forgave his sins and gave him a chance to atone."

"People can't be resurrected from the dead. If it is useful to make amends..." Wu Zixu raised his head and spoke to Fuchai in a tone like a teacher teaching his disciples and Laozi teaching his son: "How could I dig King Chu Ping's tomb?"

"This..." Anger appeared on King Wu's face. Wu Zixu was an important official in the time of the previous king, and he was also a great hero who helped him become a prince and revenge for the army. He was the prime minister of the state of Wu. When the father had just died, Fuchai had to call him "Yafu". In terms of military and political affairs, he prevented Fuchai from going north to seek hegemony, and insisted on winning Chen and Cai first, defeating the state of Chu, and gaining half of Chu's country. He also adopted a restrained attitude with the actual hegemon of the north, Zhao, and did not completely tear his face.

In Wu Zixu's opinion, these actions are correct, but in Fuchai's opinion, they are the arbitrary actions of an old man who stepped into the coffin, and regards himself as the weak king who has just ascended the throne!

Especially on the issue of the country of Yue, Wu Zixu has been contradicting him, refuting his face in public.

This made Fu Chai hate his teeth, but unfortunately Wu Zixu was deeply rooted in Wu State, and his friends and relatives were all over the Korean army. What the new monarch is most afraid of is this kind of old minister with real power. Even though Fuchai has been on the throne for several years, he has gradually grasped the Chao Gang, but Wu Guoxiangbang has extremely powerful power.

Fortunately, because of his strong and unreasonable personality, this person also has many enemies in Wu State, such as fellow villagers in Chu State who used to call him brothers...

...

A burst of dry laughter sounded in the hall, Bo Xi, who was slightly fat, tall and crowned, and any jade ornament on his body was worth a fortune, stood up and said with a smile: "Zixuxiu is going to be excited, you are still the same... …”

He is like an old gentleman, adjusting the contradiction between King Wu and Xiangbang as before, but today is a little different, Bo Xi's voice changed, he waved his hand and said: "Zixu knows that he has a temporary plan, and he does not know how to secure the country. The king's foresight, you really can't see through it, or do you deliberately want the king to be punished by the emperor? I hope that the king will implement your ideas and not be limited by the nonsense of the little people!"

what!

villain? Is he referring to Xiangbang?

This remark immediately caused an uproar in the hall. For a time, it was no longer important to deal with Gou Jian. The ministers of Wu State looked at Bo Xi and Wu Zixu in amazement. The number one and number two officials of the state of Wu, like two pillars, separated the two sides of King Wu's lower head, and looked at each other like this.

Wu Zixu's beard and hair were stubborn, and he was obviously very angry, and there was a hint of disbelief that he had been betrayed suddenly in his eyes. Bo Xi's expression was the same as usual, his face was flattering to please King Wu who did not hesitate to offend Wu Zixu, but in his heart he was relieved that he finally got rid of this person...

Like Wu Zixu, Bo Xi was also a deceased member of Chu State. His father, Bo Qi Wan, was Zuo Yin, King of Chu Ping. Later, he was killed by the commander of Chu State, Yin Zichang, who believed in the words of the traitor Fei Wuji, and executed the entire clan, leaving only Bo Xi to flee. to Wu State.

Wu Zixu felt that he had the same illness as himself and that he had some talent, so he vigorously recommended him to Wu Wang Helu. Bo Xi also reciprocated. He was a staunch supporter of Wu Zixu's party in the early days. He shared weal and woe with Wu Zixu during the Battle of Baiju, and when he dug up the tomb of the King of Chu and flogged the body of King Chu Ping, he hugged and laughed, and wept together. Sorrow for the unjust father and brother.

They also enjoyed Ling Yin Zichang's wife, concubine and daughter together as revenge, and their relationship was extremely good.

But it is also in the madness of breaking Yingdu that Bo Xi's great revenge has been avenged, and he is suddenly immersed in the flowery world of beautiful treasures, and he begins to become greedy and shameless. Extreme desire for power.

After the new Wang Fuchai succeeded to the throne, Bo Xi knew that the opportunity was coming. He gradually cultivated his henchmen, and he no longer needed to rely on Wu Zixu. Instead, he regarded Wu members as a stumbling block to further climb to the peak of power!

Today, he finally looked at Wu Zixu and stood on an equal footing, instead of following him forever, staring at the back of the old man's gray-haired head!

The state of Wu Xiangbang and Dazai were openly hostile, and they only needed to fight each other and draw their swords to face each other.

At this time, it was Fuchai who stood up and smoothed the game.

"Sit down for the widows! The distant guests are here, what are you doing? Let others see jokes?"

Wu Zixu is domineering and domineering, but his loyalty to Wu is undeniable, and this person is extremely capable. Wu Wangfuchai still has many things to rely on him to do, and it is not easy to abolish his aspect immediately. However, when Bo Xi jumped out to fight against him, Fu Chai was still happy. He scolded Bo Xi openly and made him rude to the state. However, when dealing with Gou Jian, he ignored Wu Zixu's bad advice. , he did not kill the King of Yue, but ordered him to drive and raise horses for himself, while his wife was a slave in the palace.

Bo Xi's attitude immediately turned a hundred and eighty degrees~www.wuxiaspot.com~ bent his fat waist and smiled and apologized to Wu Zixu, but Wu Zixu was still the same, not showing any respect, not letting people go down the steps, throwing down his chopsticks and angrily. gone.

However, the banquet became more cheerful and presumptuous because of his departure. Fan Li and the others sat at the end of the icy hall with only a glass of water and a little bit of unpalatable vegetarian food. Mrs. Goujian sat next to King Wu and poured wine for him, but Goujian said nothing about it and lowered her head. Human beings are swordsmen, even if King Wu wanted to face his wife in front of Gou Jian, I was afraid that Gou Jian could only watch...

Fortunately, although Fuchai was arrogant and arrogant, he gained psychological satisfaction from the process of humiliating King Yue, but he was not the kind of person who deceived people too much.

What's more, Mrs. Goujian has tattooed face, which is not his type. What he likes is the woman in the Central Plains who is dressed in dark clothes...

King Wu, who was drunk and drunk with the wine, suddenly lost his temper, raised his glass and said to the crowd: "Now that the king of Yue has been slaughtered by a widow, I don't know when he will be able to capture Zhao Wuxi, the minister of Jin, as well. Shepherd slave? Invite the great sorcerer of Song country to dance for the solitary every day and serve the bed?"
