Chu Guo Shouchun.

It's been a month since Tian Wen last spoke.

On this day, Tian Wen estimated that the threat theory of Qi from various countries should have been transmitted back to Chu State, and the King of Chu should also get the news that all countries were afraid of Qi State.

So, Tian Wen entered the palace again to lobby.

"The king, the minister heard that the Qi country prides itself on being powerful and frequently bullies all countries, and all countries hate it deeply. At this moment, as long as the king ascends to the heights, he will be able to call on the princes to fight and achieve immortal achievements. ”

Xiong Huai looked at Tian Wen, who was encouraging him to send troops to attack Qi again, and refused again: "The rumors of various countries have also been heard by the widows recently.

Although all countries were dissatisfied with Qi, Qin and Zhao were still allies of Qi, and Yan and Wei were also subservient to Qi.

It can be seen that although King Qi is tyrannical, he is not too excessive.

Therefore, please also ask Guangxin Jun to be calm and not impatient. ”

Soon, Tian Wen returned to the mansion and said that he was rejected by the king of Chu again, and sighed: "Alas~~ This monarch has made a statement to the king of Chu three times in a row, saying that it will benefit from the war, but the king of Chu is reluctant to agree to send troops.

The strength of the world is none other than Chu, and now that even Chu does not send troops, who else can avenge this monarch? ”

When Gongsun Hong heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there are some speculations about the reason why the King of Chu did not send troops. ”

"Huh? What's the guess? Tian Wen looked at Gongsun Hong hesitantly.

Gongsun Hong arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if you talk about the timing of the invasion of Qi, it is best to say that it is the time when Lord Zhao led the troops of the five countries to attack Qi, but even at such a good time, the Chu State did not send troops to attack Qi, let alone now."

Also, when Qin and Qi besieged Wei, this was also the best time for Chu to attack Wei or save Wei, but the king of Chu still did not move.

Two such good opportunities were in front of him, but the king of Chu was unmoved. In addition, in the past two months in the Chu State, the king of Chu has been living in the harem, and all state affairs have been handed over to the prince of Chu and Ling Yin to summon Qu Yuan and others.

Therefore, the minister suspected that the king of Chu was old and his ambition had been lost. ”

When Tian Wen heard this, his face changed: "If the king of Chu has no intention of going outside, then if I stay in the state of Chu, won't I waste my time in vain and lose the opportunity to take revenge forever?" ”

"No!" Gongsun Hong shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the King of Chu has no intention, the minister heard that Prince Heng of Chu is now in his prime and has great ambitions.

The minister heard that not long ago, the Song State asked for help, although the king of Chu did not agree, but the prince of Chu agreed to save Song. Also, when Qin Qi attacked Wei, the king of Chu did not agree to the rescue, but the prince of Chu still advocated sending troops to rescue Wei.

And now, the king of Chu is old, and he has a few years to live, but the prince of Chu is different.

Therefore, why don't you continue to let people lobby the king of Chu and lobby various countries, and then make friends with the prince of Chu at the same time.

In this way, once the king of Chu collapses and the crown prince ascends the throne, the king can immediately encourage the new king of Chu to fight Qi. ”

When Tian Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Good! ”

Next.

After the prince finished his official duties, as soon as he returned to the palace, he received a letter of worship.

"Tian Wen wants to come to see me?" The prince Heng took Tian Wen's greeting post, and he groaned in his heart for a while, and then he guessed Tian Wen's intention.

"Tian Wen visited his father many times before, saying that his father took advantage of the war, but his father did not listen to him.

Tian Wen's hatred for Qi Wangdi can be described as deep, and he came to see me, he must have wanted to promote the Chu State to attack Qi through my relationship. ”

This matter...

At this time, the crown prince remembered his father's comment on Tian Wen not long ago, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"My father is still in charge of national affairs, since Tian Wen asked to see me, I should be kind enough to appease him, get close to him, and attach importance to him. Soon, he will definitely become the right-hand man of my Chu State. ”

Thinking about it, the prince Heng had already made a decision in his heart.

The next day, Tian Wen came to see the prince Heng, and the prince opened the middle door, personally greeted him outside the mansion, and welcomed Tian Wen into the prince's mansion with a heavy courtesy.

in the hall.

Prince Heng and Tian Wenyu are very happy.

Suddenly, Tian Wen frowned and said: "Wen and the prince are talking about world affairs, knowing that the prince has seen people, Wen has a question in his heart, and he wants to ask the prince." ”

"Don't dare!" The prince looked at Tian Wendao horizontally: "I don't know what Guangxinjun said?" ”

Tian Wen looked at the prince and arched his hand horizontally and said, "I don't know what the prince thinks, how about the Qi king's fields and Qi people?" ”

When the crown prince heard this, he knew that Tian Wen was asking him about his attitude towards the King of Qi and even the Kingdom of Qi.

In this regard, Prince Heng actually expected it for a long time.

And when his father has not responded to Tian Wen for a long time, he can no longer show that he will not be able to cut Qi. Otherwise, Tian Wen is very likely to go in despair.

Of course, with the lesson of Wei last time, he couldn't directly promise maybe Nuo Tianwen anything.

Thinking about it, the crown prince frowned and said, "King Qi is my neighbor of Chu State, and Gu also has some understanding of King Qi.

As far as Gu knows, King Qi has been famous since he was a child, and it is said that he is very intelligent. Since the accession of King Qi, the national strength of Qi has been thriving, and now, Qi has served Zhao Chenyan, Wei has been a minister, Song Han is afraid, and two weeks are the genus.

From this point of view, King Qi can be described as virtuous. ”

As he spoke, the prince saw that Tian Wen's face became heavy, and sighed again:

"It's a pity that Qi Wangxian is virtuous, but he is not benevolent. In the past few years, the king of Qi has sent troops to attack my Chu State, then the Qin State, and then the Zhao State and Yan and Wei States, and the surrounding countries, except for the Song State, have all been bullied by the King of Qi.

Even..."

As he spoke, the prince looked at Tian Wen and said, "Even, the King of Qi treats even the great sages of the world like Guangxinjun very harshly.

From this point of view, Qi Wang is virtuous and tyrannical, similar to the former Jin Zhibo. ”

Tian Wen was overjoyed when he heard that the prince was comparing the prince with the prince of Qi and the uncle whose family was ruined, and hurriedly praised: "The prince's eyes are like torches..."

That night, the prince held a banquet to entertain Tian Wen, and at the same time invited all the close ministers and guests to accompany him, and ceremoniously introduced Tian Wen to the ministers and guests who participated in the banquet.

Drunk.

Just when everyone was looking at each other, Qi Xuan, who was sitting in the crowd, looked at the top position, Prince Heng and Tian Wen were talking and laughing, but they couldn't help but sigh.

He was the concubine of Yan Lingjun, and not long ago, the king of Chu and the crown prince disagreed because of Wei state affairs.

Then Long Shujun lobbied his father Yan Lingjun, wanting to take this opportunity to send someone to pull the prince into the camp against the change.

So, he was ordered to come to Shouchun to defect to the crown prince.

But it's a pity that although the prince accepted him and there was no shortage of courtesy, he didn't take him as a confidant for a long time, and once something happened, he never consulted him or asked his opinion.

After a few months, it didn't work, my father laughed suspiciously, and it was difficult to talk to outsiders.

At this time, he looked at Tian Wen, who was introduced as a guest by the prince on the stage, and his heart was even more depressed, and then he picked up the wine on the table and drank it all.

Late at night, the feast is over.

Qi Xuan left the prince's mansion, returned to the residence, and as soon as he entered his room, he saw Long Shujun, who was already waiting here, and immediately stood up from the main seat in the room impatiently, and asked: "Virtuous nephew, how about the prince's banquet for Tian Wen today?" ”
