Chapter 1216 Like a tiger on the side

Three days later, the envoys of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Song, who had not seen the king of Chu, gathered again to discuss matters.

At this time, Zhao envoy Wang Ben frowned, and said with a sad face: "Prince, Doctor Wei, in the past two days, I have met with Ling Yin Zhaoju, Zuo Yin Ganmao, Zuotu Qu Yuan and several other important ministers of the Chu State, although they all received the gifts sent by Zaixia, and also promised to lobby the King of Chu on behalf of Zaixia, but three days have passed, and the King of Chu has not seen us, what does this mean?"

Isn't it that Chu has other plans! So the king of Chu doesn't plan to see us? ”

"Yes, yes!" Wei Qi echoed: "Not only the King of Chu, but also the Prince of Chu, yesterday I went to visit the Crown Princess as a junior in the Crown Princess's family, and then took the opportunity to make friends with the Prince of Chu."

As a result, he didn't even enter the gate of the Prince's Mansion in Xia, and was driven away.

That's it, the crown princess also sent someone to say that the prince has something to do, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so he will let him go down when the prince is free in the future. ”

Saying that, Wei Qi said angrily: "The state of Chu is so rude. ”

Unlike the worried Wang Ben and the angry Wei Qi, at this time, when the prince heard the words of the two, he smiled indifferently and said: "Don't worry, the two gentlemen, Song Guo and Shouchun are very close, and they know a lot about Yingdu. Since the king of Chu issued an edict to move the capital to Shouchun, except for summoning the ministers on the first day of the first month of this month, he has been living in the harem at other times and has never appeared in front of the ministers.

Therefore, even Ling Yin Zhaoju and Qu Yuan, the leftist disciple who presided over the change, could not see the King of Chu, and it is impossible for us to see the King of Chu now. ”

When Wang Ben Wei Qi heard that the king of Chu lived in the harem and only left the harem once in more than a month, he was immediately shocked.

Of course, they would not think that the king of Chu, who had just made up his mind to move the capital, would suddenly become hedonistic.

They are only worried that the King of Chu is doing this, is there a bigger conspiracy brewing in secret?

Or maybe the king of Chu is just waiting for the price to sell, and wants the lion to open his mouth and ask for more benefits!

Thinking about it, the two of them frowned deeply at the same time.

At this time, Prince Zhen said to Wei Qi again: "As for where is Prince Chu... I heard some rumors that it was said that the prince of Chu committed a crime, so he was grounded by the king of Chu. ”

When Wei Qi heard that the crown prince was under house arrest by the king of Chu, he was shocked and said, "What? The king of Chu is under house arrest for the crown prince, does the king of Chu also plan to change the crown prince! ”

As soon as these words came out, Prince Zizhen's expression changed.

What do you mean by also planning to change the prince, Wei Qi, this kid is mocking the prince!

Thinking about it, Wang Zizhen's eyes immediately became unkind when he looked at Wei Qi.

At this time, Wang Ben noticed the change in Prince Zizhen's expression for the first time, and knew that Wei Qi's bad words had angered Prince Zizhen.

So, he immediately played a round and pretended to reprimand Wei Qi and said: "Doctor Wei, what are you talking about, the prince of Chu is the eldest son of the prince of Chu, from the perspective of establishing a successor, the prince of Chu is a well-deserved prince, how could the king of Chu abolish the prince." ”

As he spoke, he saw that Prince Zizhen's face was slightly softened, and immediately asked Prince Zizhen: "Prince, the Song Kingdom and Shouchun are only separated by a water, I don't know why the prince is this?" ”

When the prince heard this, he pondered for a while, and said: "I haven't heard that the king of Chu has the intention of abolishing the prince, but because the prince of Chu is impulsive and negligent, he was ordered by the king of Chu to study at home for two months, and now there are still a few days in the two months, and it is because Dr. Wei needs to wait a few days to see the prince." ”

When Wei Qi heard that Prince Chu was only punished to study, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed his hand to Prince Zhen: "Thank you Prince for solving your doubts." ”

Seeing this, Prince Zizhen immediately shook his head, this Wei Qi is a young man after all, and he spoke too straight before.

Then, the crown prince sighed for a while and said, "Regarding the matter of meeting the king of Chu, the two of you don't have to worry.

That Qi envoy Zhu Fu, he arrived a few days earlier than us, and he also had a lot of relationships, didn't he not see the king of Chu. ”

When Wang Ben heard this, he nodded, but thinking that the war of Zhao State was almost ready, if it was delayed by the Chu State thousands of miles away, it would not be beautiful after all.

Thinking about it, Wang Ben spoke again: "Having said that, but we are stranded in Shouchun and can't see the king of Chu for a long time, it's not a thing." ”

Saying that, Wang Ben saw the two nodding, immediately looked at the crown prince, and said in a deep voice: "Prince, I heard that Mrs. Song is very favored by the king of Chu in the Chu country, I don't know if the prince can meet the king of Chu through Mrs. Song's channel, saying that it will be beneficial to war." ”

When the prince heard this, he thought about it slightly, and nodded.

Although he didn't want to visit the king of Chu in an abnormal way through his daughter's relationship, he was also very worried about it now that the Chu State had moved its capital to Shouchun and was facing the Song State across the water.

Chu State is a tiger that chooses people to devour, originally this tiger suppressed his vicious father who was as vicious as an old wolf thousands of miles away, he was still relatively happy and willing to accept it. But now that the tiger had suddenly come behind him, it made him shudder.

Although the father is poisonous, he is his own father after all, and this tiger, if it is not good, it will swallow his whole family and even the entire Song Kingdom.

Therefore, he is now also worried that the State of Chu wants to take the opportunity to attack the State of Song and wants to probe the mind of the King of Chu.

Since it is impossible to go through the official channel of Chu now, then you can only go through the channel of your daughter.

I can't be my father to Shouchun, I can't see my daughter.

Thinking about it, Wang Zizhen immediately spoke: "Okay, I will ask someone to summon Mrs. Song tomorrow." ”

When Wang Benwei Qi heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Good, there is Prince Lao." ”

At dinner the next day, Mrs. Song was tired of being in Xiong Huai's arms, and after feeding Xiong Huai a piece of meat with her own hands, she looked at Xiong Huai with affection and said: "My lord, the concubine heard today that my father arrived in Shouchun City and wanted to see the concubine. The concubine had not seen my father for several years, and she missed her very much, and she wanted to see her father, so she asked the king for permission. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed.

Originally, Xiong Huai hung the four countries there, one wanted to suppress the time for the war of various countries, so as to consume more of the grain and grass of each country and accumulate the anger of each country. The second is also to deliberately create an image of old age and stupidity and greed for pleasure, so that some people can relax their vigilance.

However, he never thought that Prince Zizhen, who had already been cheated by foreign envoys from the capital once, would leave Shangqiu again and come to Shouchun in person.

When this happened, Xiong Huai knew that this was the sequelae brought about by the relocation of the capital to Shouying, and even Prince Zhen, who had always been good friends with him, was a little afraid of him.

However, now that the crown prince has come and mentioned that he wants to see his daughter, he can't refuse this matter.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai looked at Mrs. Song with a smile on his face: "Okay, good, the widow's wife meets her father, how can the widow bear to refuse."

Tomorrow, tomorrow morning, the widow invites the prince into the palace and lets your father and daughter get together!

When your father and daughter are done, the widow will get together with the prince again. ”

After that, Xiong Huai lightly twisted the beard on his chest, and smiled at Mrs. Song: "Madam, this time the widow is for you, but it is a big violation of principles to be private before public."

Madame, how can you repay the widow!

Well! ”
