Chapter 64 Chapter One

Ying is in chaos.King Huai of Chu asked Zhang Yi for peace, but Zhang Yi sneered and said, "Peace? Let's talk after the war." He drove back to Qin State in front of him; looking for Lord Chunshen, but Lord Chunshen disappeared; It was very easy to find Su Qin, but the eloquent and eloquent prime minister of the six countries did not say a word.King Huai of Chu had nowhere to go and had no choice but to go to Zhaoju Mansion in the end. Although Zhaoju was still "sick on the couch", he gave King Huai of Chu several practical ideas: the first one was to arrest Qu Yuan to prevent the elbow and armpits; the second was to depose Chunshen Jun Huang Xie , to cut off Qu Yuan's wings; the third is to expel Su Qin, expressing to Qin the determination to withdraw from Hezong.Zhaoju finally said: "If my king can do this, the state of Chu will be safe. Otherwise, the old minister is powerless." King Huai of Chu felt helpless after thinking about it, so he stomped his feet and left with a long sigh.Back in the palace, King Huai of Chu didn't know where to start with these three things?Capture Qu Yuan, where is Qu Yuan?Deposing Lord Chunshen, how can Lord Chunshen be deposed without even seeing his shadow?There must be a way to expel Su Qin. A prime minister of six countries can't let a few warriors drive him out, right?I still want to show my favor to Qin Guo, but Zhang Yi is gone, who should I show my favor to?

King Huai of Chu frowned all the way to the harem, and said to Zheng Xiu with a long sigh.Zheng Xiubai poked his forehead with tender fingers, giggled and said: "Do you know? One papaya! Whoever comes up with an idea, let him do it. If someone comes up with an idea, don't give others power, just give birth to a green papaya. King Huai of Chu suddenly realized: "That's right! The queen is really smart, come here, and immediately issue an edict: Elder Xuan ordered Yin Zhaoju to enter the palace to manage politics!" As soon as Zhaoju came out of the mountain, a river of water immediately opened: three routes of fine cavalry arrested Qu Yuan, and an edict deposed Chun Shenjun.Zhaoju personally came forward and politely asked Su Qin to leave Yingdu.Immediately after that, special envoys with four-horse expresses were sent to Xianyang to express their goodwill to negotiate peace; then, the old clans resumed their old positions one after another, and the new factions put aside one after another.Within ten days, the old atmosphere of the Chu State was restored, the house was full of gray hair, and there was no more fighting between the court and the opposition. King Huai of Chu felt relieved.

But at this moment, an astonishing news came suddenly: the 80,000 new troops had disappeared, and the Qu's territory was overflowing with food and grass!There was an uproar all over the court.If Qu Yuan led the 80,000 new troops to Yingdu, wouldn't it be another world upside down?However, after repeated inspections, there was no sign of the new army within hundreds of miles of Yingdu.Zhaoju suddenly came to his senses, and immediately sent six groups of cronies to fly to the border of Qin and Chu to investigate.But what a mischief, the six-way flying riders are all mud bulls entering the sea!At this moment, the king and ministers of Yingdu were all confused.Some people say that Qu Yuan led his troops to Lingnan to build a new vassal state for revenge!Some people say that 80,000 new troops have defected to Qi State, and Qu Yuan will be the prime minister of Qi State!Some people say that the new army is hiding in Qu's territory, and Qu Yuan is about to rebel!All kinds of speculation and rumors spread like wildfire, and people were panicked for a while.

After all, Zhaoju is knowledgeable, so he went straight to the harem to find King Chu Huai, but he had an old face: "Dare to ask the King of Chu, does Qu Yuan have a military talisman in his hand?" King Chu Huai was surprised: "No, this king did not give it to him. How can he have a military talisman?" Zhaoju still had a straight face: "The king of Chu has a bad memory, so I'd better think about it again." King Huai of Chu walked around twice and suddenly stomped his feet: "Cough! What a god! I remembered that this king gave Qu Yuan an elephant talisman, but, but this king has said something beforehand, and he is not allowed to use it on his own initiative!" Zhaoju shook his head and sighed: "King Chu, King Chu, this time Chu State is in peace with Qin State. The country has formed a deadly feud, which will never be resolved."

"What did Old Ling Yin say?" King Huai of Chu was so anxious that his forehead was sweating: "We can't make peace anymore? King Qin refused?" Zhaoju couldn't help smiling bitterly: "The King of Chu still doesn't understand? Qu Yuan used a military talisman and mobilized troops to attack Qin. Has he ever fought? Can he win? Eighty thousand new troops plus Zhaochang's one hundred and fifty thousand troops, all of them It was buried in the hands of Qu Yuan!" King Huai of Chu's ruddy face suddenly turned pale: "You, you mean, the main force of Chu State is gone?"

"Not only that." Zhaoju gasped heavily: "How could the Qin State not remember the deadly enmity if it fought so unannounced? For many years, the old ministers tried their best to mediate in order not to make the Chu State enmity with the strong Qin, now ah , it’s all over, the state of Chu was buried by Qu Yuan..." King Huai of Chu collapsed limply on the grass, and cried out, "This, this, this, what should we do?" "Kill Qu Yuan, get rid of Huang Xie, and thank Qin!" Zhaoju gritted his teeth. King Huai of Chu sniffed and sighed: "That's the only way, this king, I was most afraid of killing people."

The next day, the waiter urgently reported that Chunshenjun Huang Xie would see you outside the palace.King Huai of Chu jumped up when he heard it: "Quick! Tell him to come in!" Seeing Jun Shenjun's exhausted and haggard appearance, King Huai of Chu's heart softened, but he still said with a straight face: "Huang Xie, Where did you go? You look like a fugitive!" Chun Shenjun smiled bleakly: "King Chu, I have gone to Danyang." King Huai of Chu was full of doubts: "Danyang? Where is Danyang? Is something wrong?" Chun Shenjun sighed and said: "Oh my king, Huang Xie belongs to Qu Yuan's party, let my king be punished."

"Oh——that's right!" King Huai of Chu suddenly realized: "You went to war with Qu Yuan! Didn't you?" "That's right." Chunshen Jun said indifferently: "The matter has come to this, I don't want to say more, so I just accept the crime." "Admit the crime and accept the crime! You know how to accept the crime!" King Chu Huai pointed to Jun Shenjun and began to scold him: "Huang Xie, Huang Xie, you and I are the same age, how does this king treat you? He always pampers and protects you, right? You are fine, but you just follow Qu Yuan's stubborn donkey. There is a new policy, a political reform, military training, and an assassination. You are meddling in everything! This is all right, Qu Yuan should be killed for rebellion, How do you think this king can protect you?"

"I only wish to lead you to death." Chun Shenjun only had one sentence. "Do you know? You are a big papaya! You still call me a papaya?" King Huai of Chu cursed, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Hey, to be honest, how is Qu Yuan's battle going? Is the whole army over?" "Oh, my king, where did you start?" Chunshen Jun yelled in surprise: "It is true that Da Sima did not obey the king's order. But if we talk about fighting, this time he really showed the prestige of the Chu State! Beheading Qin’s army was 60,000, our army’s casualties were only more than 100,000, and the remaining 100,000 Chu’s troops were still stationed in Mianshui! Who said that the Chu’s army is all finished? It is clearly a malicious framing!”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." King Huai of Chu came forward in surprise: "You said to behead 60,000 of the Qin army?" "Oh yes! Sima Cuo also confessed himself." "The Chu army still has about a hundred thousand?" "There is no mistake! My Wang Kexuan Zhaochang came to Yingdu immediately to confirm." "Okay! Great!" King Chu Huai clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Mr. Chunshen, you are such a good general, and you have brought blessings to this king!" He suddenly lowered his voice: "By the way, hurry up and find some Personal guarantee, someone is going to depose you!"

"Thank you, my king. The minister bid farewell." As soon as Chun Shenjun left, King Huai of Chu immediately relaxed.Hurriedly strode back to the harem, happily explained to Zheng Xiuxue, Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "Understood, it's good, I didn't hurt my muscles and bones. As long as I don't offend the Qin State in the future, maybe the sun and the moon will be safe." King Huai of Chu said: "That's right, with this battle, the State of Qin dare not underestimate my State of Chu. Hey Queen, how do you think about Qu Yuan?" Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "Do you know? Talk to Lao Lingyin about this kind of thing." King Chu Huai said: "Old Lingyin? He told me to kill Qu Yuan." Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "Then kill him, and can you talk about another papaya?" Chu Huai Wang murmured: "Papaya, am I a papaya? You are the papaya." Zheng Xiu nodded Chuhuai Wang's forehead and giggled: "I know, I am a papaya. Who dares to say that my son is a papaya?" Already?" King Huai of Chu laughed proudly for a while: "Papaya, there is one, Qu Yuan!" "My son is so smart!" Zheng Xiu smiled and clapped his hands: "Got it, Qu Yuan is a big papaya!" King Huai of Chu was very happy , picked up Zheng Xiu and rolled into the gauze tent, laughing and panting for a long time. At this moment, the old servant shouted loudly outside the gauze tent: "Report to my king: the Qu clan is always begging for orders at the palace gate." "Disappointed!" King Huai of Chu muttered angrily, and got up in disheveled clothes: "How do you ask for your life?" "A large group of old people held white silk blood books, unable to get up on their knees, and wanted to see my king." "What's the point? It's not their business, but they came first? Queen, I'll go and have a look." When he came to the gate of the palace, King Huai of Chu could not move his feet as if he was nailed there.The white-haired old man was kneeling in the big cart and racecourse, and a pair of white silk blood books nailed to the big wooden board was shocking-kill me Qu Yuan and leave Chu State instead!Dou Da's eight characters were still dripping with blood, all the old people had white cloth wrapped around their hands, and their faces were gloomy as if they were about to erupt at any moment.Although King Huai of Chu said that he was embarrassed, he still understood one thing: the Qu family has more than a million people, and apart from the royal family Mi and Zhao, it is the third largest tribe in Chu. Messed up? "Senior, what's the trouble? Come on, get up soon." King Huai of Chu walked up to the head of the old patriarch, but he couldn't help being a little flustered. He wanted to help the old man up, but he dared not reach out. "The grassroots people of the Qu family implore my king: pardon Qu Yuan, otherwise, the Qu family will go to Lingnan to stand on their own!" "Oh, old man, did this king ever say that he was going to kill Qu Yuan?" King Chu Huai hurriedly excused himself, and then smiled and said: "Qu Yuan hasn't come back yet, and this king hasn't seen him yet, who knows?" Say you want to kill him? Even if you come back, you will have to investigate before you talk about it, get up, get up soon." The old patriarch was still kneeling, and the bamboo stick was tapped: "To wash away the national humiliation, Da Sima donated 60,000 children in the clan, donated 150,000 stones of food and grass in the clan, bathed in blood on the battlefield, and beheaded 60,000 soldiers of the Qin army. Yu Chu State! If my king listens to the slander and kills Qu Yuan, the people of Chu will never have loyal ministers and martyrs! May my king think twice before acting." "Old patriarch, I will just listen to you." King Huai of Chu sighed heavily: "It's not easy to kill 60,000 soldiers of the Qin army. Hurry up, get up soon." As soon as the old patriarch stood up, he heard the sound of horseshoes outside the arena!The servant hurriedly reported in a low voice: "Look, my king!" King Huai of Chu raised his head when he heard the sound, but saw a "savage" coming towards him: his battle robe was stained with blood, his beard and hair were gray and disheveled, his eyes were sunken, and he was as thin and black as a piece of charcoal!King Huai of Chu couldn't help but took two steps back in surprise: "You? Are you the big, big Sima?" The visitor fell to the ground and knelt down: "My lord, Qu Yuan accepts the crime." King Huai of Chu sighed: "Qu Yuan, you are suffering too, get up first, let me think about it before I talk." "Qu Yuan still has something to say, I hope Wang Rong will report it." "If you have something to say, just say it." Qu Yuan was impassioned: "The war with Qin was all done by Qu Yuan alone, and has nothing to do with others. I implore my king: reward the soldiers who died in battle, and repay Qu's grain and grass in full! In addition, after this war, Tiger and wolf Qin will come to take revenge, Chu is too weak at the moment, I implore my king to hand over Qu Yuan to the whole Chu!" "Big Sima——! No way!" The elders of the Qu Clan cried out in tears. Qu Yuan stood up and bowed deeply to the elders of the clan: "Predecessors in the clan: Qu Yuan is not talented. If he can eliminate the crisis of the Chu country by himself, what regrets will he die? I, the Qu family, have been loyal for generations. Don't threaten the king of Chu for Qu Yuan's life, seniors, go back, Qu Yuan begs you..." "Da Sima..." The old patriarch's bamboo stick was firm, but he was so trembling that he couldn't speak.King Huai of Chu was so emotional that he burst into tears and broke down in tears. This turmoil once again shocked Yingdu!The Qu clan did not hesitate to rebel and die to protect Qu Yuan, and the story that Qu Yuan did not hesitate to die for the soldiers who died in battle quickly spread throughout the court and the public.What is even more exciting to the people of the country is that Qu Yuan actually asked the king of Chu to hand him over to the Qin State in order to preserve the precarious Chu State. Throughout the ages, how many times have there been such loyal ministers?For a while, the voice of pleading for Qu Yuan's life permeated Chu State, which made it difficult for the old people to open their mouths. King Huai of Chu was also wise: he first restored Lord Chunshen's power to participate in the political power, and then brought Lord Chunshen together with the old Ling Yin Zhaoju and other ministers in charge for a day and a night of secret discussions, and finally issued an order to the government and the public: The soldiers who died in the Battle of Danyang were all given honors based on meritorious service, and Lord Chunshen counted and implemented them; exempted Qu's territory from food for three years as compensation; deposed Qu Yuan from the position of great Sima, took the title of Sanlu Dafu, and exiled Miluo Shui Siguo introspection.The imperial edict was announced to the government and the public. Although the common people still complained, there was nothing they could do.The remaining new sects also gradually became quiet. After all, they did not kill Qu Yuan, nor did they hand over Qu Yuan to the state of Qin. What can the king of Chu do if there are old families biting Qu Yuan? On the day Qu Yuan left Yingdu, the ten-mile suburban pavilion was packed with farewell crowds. There were people from Yingdu and common people from the four villages. , filled with all kinds of wine and food presented by people.At noon, when Chun Shenjun personally drove Qu Yuan out of the city on the road, the cries of all the fields in Yingdu filled the air, and the dilapidated cart slowly gathered to the Ten Li Changting Pavilion.Standing under the canopy of the car, Qu Yuan was so old and thin that he lost all his former charm, and his inexhaustible passion seemed to have dried up. He just stared blankly at the surging crowd all around, feeling empty and bewildered. After driving for half a day, I finally arrived at the edge of Yunmengze.Chunshen Jun jumped out of the car, helped Qu Yuan out of the car, and bowed deeply: "Brother Qu, take good care of yourself." Qu Yuan smiled lightly: "Chun Shen Jun, I have one last word: The state of Chu is so decayed that it is powerless to save itself. We must go to Su Qin and unite again to keep the state of Chu with external force and wait for the opportunity. Seeing Su Qin, apologize on my behalf, Qu Yuan is too angry..." After finishing speaking, he sighed , then strode onto the boat. "Oh, Brother Qu——, I remember your words!" The boat drifted away, but Qu Yuan never looked back.
