In the palace.

After Xiong Huai got the news of Gongzi Wangcai from Chen Zhen, he nodded expressionlessly, and then returned to Mrs. Song's palace.

Then, to Xiong Huai's surprise, there was such a big commotion in the city, and Mrs. Song, who stayed with him all day, did not mention the affairs of the Song Kingdom at all, even yesterday, and even today.

Mrs. Song didn't mention it, and Xiong Huai didn't ask, and the two of them were happy, as if everything outside the palace had nothing to do with the two.

Next.

Childe Wangcai never went out.

Xiong Huai is still with Mrs. Song in the harem with his son.

On the morning of the third day.

Gongzi Wangcai sat and waited in the mansion for a long time, and when he saw that the palace was still calm, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"No, in the past, when the envoy of the Song Kingdom came, my father either summoned the Song envoy on the same day, or summoned the Song envoy the next day. Why did the Song Kingdom make such a big disturbance this time, and even three days have passed, but the father has been indifferent. ”

Thinking about it, Gongzi Wangcai hesitated for a long time, and then got up and walked towards the palace.

Soon after, Gongzi Wangcai found his mother, Mrs. Qin.

Then, Mrs. Qin found Mrs. Song again.

Mrs. Song, who didn't want to participate in the affairs of Gongzifu, finally made her make up her mind after hesitating for a long time.

Night.

When Xiong Huai and Mrs. Song were resting, Mrs. Song suddenly leaned next to Xiong Huai, and then whispered in Xiong Huai's ear: "King, the concubine received a letter from Zang Zi, and he hopes to see the king again." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, he thought that Mrs. Song would raise this matter three days ago, that is, on the day when the Song envoy group came to Shouchun.

But he didn't expect Mrs. Song to endure it for three days and not speak until now.

As for why Mrs. Song endured it for three days, and why Mrs. Song didn't speak now.

Xiong Huai knows it.

At this moment, he had pity for Mrs. Song and the Son's Charter, as well as disappointment in the Son's prosperity, as well as the helplessness of Mrs. Qin's hope for her son Jackie Chan, and strong dissatisfaction with the Song Kingdom.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai let out a long breath, then gently pulled Mrs. Song into his arms, and said with a smile: "In this case, the widow will summon Zang Zi tomorrow, but now is the time to sleep, let's sleep······

Next.

Xiong Huai gathered his ministers again to summon Zang Zi.

"The king, the widow heard that the son of your country was rich and virtuous, and he also knew that the king did not want his son to stay away from his homeland, but the widow really admired the virtue of the son and wanted to see the demeanor of the son.

Therefore, the widow wants to offer a hundred miles of Yingdong land, a thousand gold and 1,000 yuan, and greet him with 300 cars, hoping that the king can send his son to the Song State to serve as the prime minister, so that the father of our country can admire the demeanor of the prince and listen to the teachings of the son. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he didn't let the ministers speak, but said with a smile: "King Song can afford Zifu and is willing to appoint him as Song Xiang, which is his honor and the honor of the widow." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai glanced at Gongzi Wangcai among the ministers, saw his expectant look, and at the same time knew what he did yesterday, so he didn't give Gongzi Wangcai a chance to show his ugliness.

After all... This is a pro-son!

So, Xiong Huai hesitated and said: "It's just that I don't know if Mr. or King Song knows that Zifu is about to marry Princess Qin, and that the widow will give Zifu a fief?" ”

When Zang Zi heard this, he immediately felt uneasy in his heart, and then looked at the king of Chu in disbelief, could it be that the king of Chu even refused Song Guo's request to let Gongzi Fu go to be the prime minister?

Thinking about it, Zang Zi hesitated and responded: "The minister has heard of it. ”

Xiong Huai shook his head and sighed: "Alas, the widow has made an agreement with the King of Qin, and he will let Zifu marry Princess Qin in half a year.

Therefore, Zifu will not be able to go to the Song Kingdom in a short period of time. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at Zang Zi and asked, "Sir, if you can, how about letting Zifu go to the Song Kingdom after Zifu gets married and deals with the affairs of the fief?" ”

Zang Zi was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "King, I wonder how long it will take for the prince to go to the Song Kingdom?" ”

Xiong Huai smiled: "About a year." ”

Zang Zi froze suddenly.

One year··· How did the Song Kingdom wait for a year.

Once the Qi State invaded the Song Dynasty, how much blood did the Song State have to shed to stop the Qi State for a year.

Thinking about it, Zang Zi immediately arched his hand and said: "The king, the widow is desperate to see the prince soon, you see, this time..."

"How?" Xiong Huai's face turned cold, and he said in an unkind tone: "Do you want the widow to let Zifu go to the Song Kingdom immediately, and then let the King of Qin also send the princess to the Song Kingdom, and finally let the King of Song officiate the wedding for the widow's son, the daughter of the King of Qin." ”

When Zang Zi heard this, his face turned pale, Song Guo is small and Qin Chu is big, this kind of thing humiliates Qin and Chu at the same time... Rather than this, it is better for the Song State to resist the Qi State alone.

Thinking about it, Zang Zi immediately bowed and said: "The minister lost his words, lost his words, please forgive the king!" ”

"Humph!" Xiong Huai snorted coldly and stood up, then left the ministers and Zang Zi behind, and left the hall alone.

Returning to the side hall where he was handling official business, Xiong Huai immediately frowned.

Whether it was Gongzi Wangcai's performance yesterday or his performance in the main hall just now, he was disappointed.

Wangcai did not pass the test, but lost himself in the praise of the city.

It's just that although Wangcai didn't pass the test, Xiong Huai can't let him continue to indulge in falsehood, can't watch him fall into a deep pit and can't extricate himself without making a move, and can't let him just be wasted.

At this time, it was his father who took action to wake him up.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai immediately ordered: "Pass the widow's order, let Gongzi Wangcai and Gongzi come to see me." ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai remembered that the prince was coming, and he couldn't help but hesitate slightly.

As a father, the most taboo is to give more or less, and then cause brothers to turn against each other or even kill each other, such as Zhao Guo.

At this time, he taught his son that he could not pull down the crown prince.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai immediately continued: "Also, invite the prince too!" ”

"Yui."

A moment later, the crown prince Heng, who had not gone far, walked into the palace with his son Wangcai.

"Father!"

After the two saluted, the prince asked, "I don't know what my father and the king have to call their sons and ministers to do?" ”

Xiong Huai glanced at the two of them and said, "Prince, you sit down first, and wait for your younger brother to arrive, and then the widow will talk." ”

Prince Heng and Gongzi Wangcai glanced at each other, and they all showed puzzled expressions.

None of them knew what to say, and they had to wait for Gongzi to come.

You must know that Gongzi Yu has only recently tied his hair.

Although they didn't know what it was, the two of them responded respectfully: "Yes, Father." ”

After the two sat down, it took a while for Gongzi to come from outside the palace.

After the ceremony.

After Gongzi Yu sat down, Xiong Huai spoke: "My father has been thinking about it recently, Qi has Meng Wei, Xian, but the king of Qi has abandoned it, why is this?" ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Gongzi Wangcai and Gongzi Yu and said: "Therefore, the widow wants to take the school Zifu and Ziyu today, so as to discuss whether Meng Weijun is virtuous or not, and whether King Qi is clear or not." Later, you write an article about your thoughts and give them to the widow and the prince to review to verify what you have learned on a daily basis. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai instructed the attendants in the palace: "Prepare a pen and paper case for the two sons." ”

"Yui."

When Gongzi Wangcai and Gongzi heard that their father was going to test him, they were all slightly stunned.

Although the two responded at the same time, Gongzi Yu's face was as usual, while Gongzi Wangcai changed color.

On the other side, after the prince heard his father's question and asked himself to comment on the knowledge of his two younger brothers, he immediately glanced at Gongzi Wangcai in surprise.

In a moment, a group of waiters brought in the copy and placed it in front of the two.

Then, after a little thought, Gongzi immediately picked up the pen on the desk and began to write.

And on the other side...
