The next day, after the prince and Mrs. Song finished talking about the relationship between father and daughter, they came to the king of Chu under the guidance of the waiter.

When Prince Zhen saw the King of Chu, his heart was shocked, and even the pupils in his eyes couldn't help shrinking slightly.

He and the King of Chu have not seen each other for many years, and when they see each other again, he finds that the King of Chu is still the same, his hair and beard are blue and black, and his demeanor and appearance are the same as before, as if the years have not left traces on his body.

Seeing this, Wang Zizhen immediately looked down at his gray beard slightly, and couldn't help but sigh.

He is the same age as the King of Chu, and the King of Chu is a few years older, but in terms of appearance, he seems to be a generation older than the King of Chu.

Thinking of this, a wave of sympathy for Prince Chu suddenly arose in his heart.

Back then, this kind of ageless appearance also appeared in his father.

When his father was young, he was known for his bravery and prowessss so great that he could not only bend iron bars into hooks with his bare hands, but also straighten iron hooks with his bare hands.

Therefore, when he was young, he admired his father's bravery very much, followed his father to resist the invasion of the Song Kingdom by various countries, followed his father to rebel, and followed his father to compete with various countries.

When he was forty years old, his father was still the same, and he thought it was nothing, but he was happy for his father's health, and when he was fifty years old, he panicked, and now when he was sixty, he was now desperate for his father.

Nine times out of ten, he may not survive his father, King Song, and Wang Yan.

At this moment, he looked at the King of Chu in front of him, as if he had seen that not long after, the tragedy between his father and son would be repeated in the father and son of the King of Chu.

This has nothing to do with anything else, it's just that nature is like this, if you are young, you will admire your parents, and if you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai, this is nature.

His own father and son are no exception, and likewise, the father and son of the King of Chu are no exception.

At this moment, most of his worries about the Chu State suddenly dissipated.

The state of Chu, which was about to fall into internal strife, was no longer a big threat to the outside world.

Just like his Song Kingdom, when his father and son were concentric, Qi, Wei and Chu had not fought in that country, it was his father and son at the same time that the territory of his Song Kingdom almost doubled.

However, when his father and son separated, let alone expanding the country, it was very difficult to hold the current land!

On the other side, Xiong Huai was sitting on the throne and was waiting for the crown prince to salute.

As a result, he waited left and right, and did not see the prince take the initiative to salute.

On the contrary, when Prince Zhen saw him, he suddenly lost his mind.

This prince is too rude!

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Zizhen was Mrs. Song's biological father, if it weren't for Mrs. Song's life-saving grace, he might have brushed his sleeves away at this moment.

Xiong Huai waited for a few more breaths, and saw that Wang Zizhen was still standing there distracted.

At this time, Xiong Huai looked at the old face of the prince and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Is it easy for people to get distracted and demented when they get old?

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai coughed lightly a few times, and then took the initiative to speak: "Prince, prince, please take a seat." ”

At this time, the crown prince heard the shout of the king of Chu, so he reacted, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The foreign envoy is rude, and I ask the king to forgive me." ”

"Hey, the prince is too outward, the prince is the biological father of the lady, why should he be so polite to the widow." Xiong Huai gestured to the seat beside him again: "Prince, please take a seat!" ”

"King Xie."

After the prince sat down, Xiong Huai took the initiative to ask: "The prince came to Shouchun, but do you have any advice?" ”

"Don't dare." The crown prince arched his hand, and said in a very low manner: "Great King, before the Six Nations Alliance swore to destroy Qin and save Wei, the Qi State was treacherous, not only retreated halfway, but also took the opportunity to attack the Wei State. Such a trustless and unrighteous country, the five countries are deeply ashamed, and intend to teach the Qi country a lesson.

However, the Qi country is strong, and although the five countries join forces, they still have no certainty of victory.

Therefore, the minister's visit to Chu this time is to represent the meaning of the five countries, and he is willing to offer fifteen cities, and ask the king to send troops to attack Qi and attack the northern Huai land of Qi. ”

"This..." Xiong Huai's face was hesitant.

Seeing this, Prince Zizhen immediately continued: "Great King, there has just been a civil strife in the Qi country, and the people in the country are already panicking, and now the five-nation alliance army has drawn the main force of the Qi country to the river.

Now the northern land of Qi is very empty, as long as the king sends troops, it is only necessary to contribute a part of the force and get a very profit. Not to mention the fifteen cities offered by the five kingdoms.

At this moment, why should the king hesitate. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he shook his head and said: "The prince's words are wrong, the Qi country is an ally of the widow, not long ago the widow made an oath with the Qi country, and the prince now wants the widow to betray the Qi country, and the widow can't bear it."

Moreover, if the widow allied with the Qi State on the front foot and betrayed the Qi State on the back foot, what is the difference between this and the Qi State betraying the Five Kingdoms?

Therefore, the widow will never betray the Qi State and send troops to attack the Huaibei Land of the Qi State. ”

When the crown prince heard this, he immediately muttered in his heart: I don't want to be treacherous, I don't want to betray my allies, what qualifications do you have to say this, the bones of the king of Yue have not yet been cold, and the land of Yue is still the county of Wu of Chu!

Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but he persuaded again: "The king..."

Xiong Huai didn't give the prince a chance to speak this time, and directly interrupted: "The prince's intention is already known, and the widow has just heard that the envoys of the three kingdoms of Zhao Weiqi are also here. The widow wanted to come, and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms came with the same intention as the prince.

In that case, let the widow make it clear to you face to face. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai said to the prince: "Please wait for the prince, and the widow will summon the envoys of the three kingdoms." ”

Tai Zizhen: "···"

Not long after, the envoys of the three kingdoms came, and when the envoys of Zhao and Wei looked at the envoys of the Qi country, they were slightly shocked.

Originally, after they saw Prince Zhen enter the palace, they were also summoned by the King of Chu, and the two thought that Prince Zizhen had persuaded the King of Chu.

But now, when they saw the envoy in the palace, they were puzzled again.

At the same time, when he saw the envoy of the Three Kingdoms, he was also surprised.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw that the envoys of the four countries had been ready, so he spoke: "Just now, the envoys of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Song told the widow that he was willing to sacrifice fifteen cities in exchange for the widow to send troops to attack Qi. ”

Zhu Fu's face changed, and he immediately arched his hand and said: "King, the two countries of Qi and Chu have an alliance in their bodies, and they are allies. I, the kingdom of Qi, would like to give out twenty cities to ask the king to fulfill the covenant. ”

"King!" When the envoys of the Three Kingdoms heard this, they were shocked, thinking that the King of Chu had brought the envoys of the Four Kingdoms at the same time, because he wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price of the lion.

So, the three of them glanced at each other, and immediately said in unison: "My five countries..."

"Please don't be impatient, three messengers!" Xiong Huai raised his hand to interrupt the three of them, and then said to the envoy: "Please also ask the envoy to calm down." ”

Seeing that the four of them were redone, Xiong Huai muttered: "Before, the three kingdoms asked the widow to send troops to fight Qi, but the widow did not agree. It was not because the price paid by the Three Kingdoms was too little, but because the outnumbered people were unwilling to break the covenant.

Similarly, Korea is an ally of the widows, Yan is also an ally of the widows, and Zhao is also an ally of the widows, and now the Qi kingdom is willing to pay a higher price to invite the widows to send troops to attack the allies.

The widow still won't agree, not because the gift is not heavy enough, but because the widow is a believer, and he really doesn't want to betray his allies. ”

When the four of them heard this, they immediately complimented with admiration and against their will: "The king is really the king of integrity, and we are ashamed." ”

Xiong Huai smiled when he heard this, and then looked at the four people: "Death is terrifying, war is disgusting, and the war of the six countries will definitely be devastating, and the hearts of the few people can't bear it."

Moreover, the four messengers did not want to come from thousands of miles, and the widows did not want the four to return empty-handed and in vain.

Therefore, the widow plans to mediate, so that everyone can be like my Chu country, let the horses go to Nanshan, and the soldiers will return to their hometowns, so that they can settle down, how about it! ”

Four: "······"
