Chen Zhen saw a rare smile on King Chu's face, thought about it, and continued to report: "Your Majesty, the minister got the news that after King Han died, although the crown prince and the prince were not able to ascend the throne immediately. However, the spies came to report that Qin Wangdang and Zhao's father had gone to Xinzheng, and it seemed that the two of them were going to discuss the choice of trusting King Han.

Judging from the current situation, no matter who the two countries decide, I am afraid that they will not be able to prevent South Korea from continuing to attack Qin, and this will not fundamentally change our current war situation. ”

When the receiver on the side heard this, he immediately frowned and said: "Although Zhao State is our ally, but in the face of the crisis of my Chu State, he has no intention of helping in the slightest, and even when interfering in the great opportunity of King Han's accession to the throne, he has no intention of helping Chu State."

The countries attacked me three times in a row, and the Zhao State either participated in it, or stood by and watched, and even when the Chu State lost thousands of miles, there was no movement. Such an alliance is not so much that there is, but that there is none, and the alliance between Chu and Zhao for more than 100 years has been ruined. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he remembered that Zhao Chang had spent more than 10,000 gold in Handan, but he didn't see Zhao Guo's pool of water bubbling at it.

On the contrary, on the side of Yan State, Fan Huan had not yet paid bribes to the ministers of Yan State, so King Yan took the initiative to promise to help Chu State with materials. And for most of the past six months, the weapons and bows and arrows and cowhides on the Yan side have been transported three times, and the fourth batch of supplies is already on the way to Chu State.

When Yan and Zhao compare the two countries, it is self-evident who is the close ally.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai saw that they had repeatedly expressed their disappointment in Zhao Guo, so he waved his hand to interrupt them, and then smiled coldly: "Zhuqing don't have to worry, since the beginning of the war, the widow has not put hope on Zhao Guo, and it has also not been on the sudden death of the king of the five countries."

Therefore, Zhu Qing does not need to be disappointed by Zhao's actions, and there is no need to be disappointed that the new Han King will continue to attack Chu, because we do not need to rely on external forces at all, and we can repel the invasion of the Five Kingdoms with our own strength alone. ”

When the three of them heard this, although they didn't know where the confidence of the King of Chu came from, as soon as they saw the confident appearance of the King of Chu, they were infected by the confidence of the King of Chu, and then saluted together: "King Shengming!" ”

Seeing that the three of them had regained their confidence, Xiong Huai nodded, and continued: "Although we can't expect the new King Han to stop attacking Chu, the difference between the new King Han and the crown prince is still huge. The lice were brought up by a widow, and he was like a father and son with a widow, and he was like a brother with his son, and even his mentor was a great sage of Chu who was invited by a widow.

Therefore, the widow's hope is that the crown prince Jise, who is closer to our Chu State, will ascend the throne, which is extremely beneficial to the long-term relationship between Chu and Han. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen and said, "Chen Qing, the widow hopes that you can go to South Korea in person to lobby your uncle and the ministers of the pro-Chu faction, and mobilize them to support the crown prince." ”

"Yui."

"Also, if the crown prince is on the throne, then give a heavy gift to the widow. Even if after Jise ascends the throne, South Korea will continue to attack Chu, so don't care, let alone show anything unusual. ”

"Yui."

The next morning, when the sky was still dark, Xiong Huai went up to the city wall early, and then finished breakfast while inspecting the city wall, and soon after inspecting the city wall, the sky was bright.

At this time, Xiong Huai saw a large number of troops appear in front of him from a distance, and seeing this, Xiong Huai couldn't help but look at that army with some expectation.

Soon, Deng Lingguang came to Xiong Huai's side: "King, the spies have come to report that the only army attacking the city today is the Wei army, and the Han army has not appeared today."

According to the report of the spies who monitored the Han army, the Han army hung white flags in the barracks last night, as if they had learned the news of Han Wang's illness and death. ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai continued to look ahead, and laughed heartily: "The big thing is done, we have won this battle." ”

Sinzheng, South Korea.

Seven days after King Han died of illness, Qin Wangdang and Zhao's father arrived outside Xinzheng at the same time.

Then, after meeting outside the city for half an hour, the two entered Xinzheng together, and then entered the Han Palace hand in hand.

An hour later, the crown prince of Han officially announced his accession to the throne, deposed Han Chen as the prime minister, and issued an edict to take his uncle as the prime minister.

At the same time as King Han ascended the throne, Han Gongzi was angry and ran to Qi.

On the second day of King Han's accession to the throne, under the witness of Qin Wangdang and Zhao's father, he officially announced in the court that Korea would continue to attack Chu until he defeated Chu and bowed to the kings of all countries.

In the Han Palace, at this time, Han Wang Jise had just finished the first court meeting and was about to go to worship the first king, when a waiter came to Han Wang Jise's side: "King, Chen Zhen, the envoy of Chu State, asks to see you." ”

As soon as Han Wang heard that it was Chen Zhen, the scenes of his life in Chu when he was young immediately came to his mind, and then he thought of his sister Han Meiren and his nephew Chu Gongzi Niulai.

Thinking about it, Han Wang suddenly hit a spirit.

Just now, he announced in the DPRK that South Korea will continue to invade Chu.

Just last night, his friend Chu Xiang Chengjun, who has been guarding him by his side for the past few years, has broken up with him because South Korea will continue to attack Chu.

Moreover, according to the report from the spies, Xiang Ji had already returned to Chu with the guards given to him by the king of Chu.

Thinking about it, a burst of distress and self-blame suddenly flashed in Han Wangjise's heart.

"No, tell the envoy of Chu that the widow is worshipping the first king and has no time to see him."

"Yui."

The waiter answered, and just turned around and walked a few steps, when he suddenly heard King Han's voice again.

"Wait... Forget it... Please come to Uncle Xiangguo. ”

Soon after, in a side hall of the Korean Palace.

Chen Zhen followed his uncle into the palace, and when he saw King Han sitting in the hall, he immediately bowed his hand: "The foreign minister pays a visit to the king." ”

"No courtesy." King Han replied, and after seeing Chen Zhen straighten up, he hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "I don't know the king..."

When Gongsun heard this, he coughed suddenly: "Cough, cough, cough······"

When King Han heard this, he immediately knew that he was nervous and lost his words.

Now that he is no longer a prince or a prince, even in the face of the King of Chu, there is no need to be called the King of Chu.

Thinking about it, he immediately changed his words and said, "I don't know if the King of Chu sent Mr. here, but is there anything to teach him?" ”

After speaking, Han Wang Jise immediately stared at Chen Zhen tightly, and even he was ready to be scolded by Chen Zhen now.

He heard that not long ago, Zuo Cheng, the envoy of Chu State, scolded the King of Song in the palace of Song because of the Song State's increase in troops in Huaibei.

As a result, not only was Zuo Cheng directly driven back to Chu by the King of Song, but it also led to the King of Song repeatedly ordering the Northern Song army to strengthen the offensive against Juyang.

Now, he was very skeptical that Chen Zhen came to see him at this time, whether he was ordered by the king of Chu to scold him.

And he is now ready to compromise, after all, the king of Chu treats him like a parent, and he continues to attack the state of Chu after he ascends the throne, which is indeed a bit inauthentic.

At this time, Chen Zhen heard King Han's inquiry, and saw King Han looking at him nervously.

So, he smiled and responded: "Back to the king's words, the widow heard that the king was on the throne, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he sent a minister to congratulate the king, and congratulated him with a five-colored stone, a pair of beautiful jade, two elephants, ten rhinoceros, a hundred catties of spices, a box of tortoiseshell, and a thousand gold." ”

King Han was stunned, the tortoiseshell and jade of Chu were his favorite ornaments, the spices of Chu were also his favorite ones, and he also liked the elephants of Chu. He still remembers that when he was in the state of Chu, he, Gongzi Ziqing and Xiang Chengjun each had an elephant of their own, but unfortunately after he returned to China, the elephant stayed in the state of Chu.

As for the rhinoceros of the Chu State, he has always wanted it, but the rhinoceros is not as docile as the elephant, so the king of Chu has never given it. Of course, not only does he not have his own rhinoceros, but neither do Gongzi Ziqing and Xiang Chengjun.

And the five-color stone, only the king of Chu wears it in the whole world, and even the prince of Chu Heng only wears the four-color stone. As far as he knew, the State of Chu exerts its national strength every year, and the five-color stone refined is only one or two fast, and now the king of Chu directly sent a five-color stone to him, which is not a heavy gift.

Especially the 1,000 catties of gold, now that the Chu State has been besieged by the Five Kingdoms for many years, he heard that the Taifu of the Chu State has been emptied, and it has reached the point of selling the lord to maintain the war.

But even so, the king of Chu still sent a heavy gift of 1,000 gold, and this king of Chu did not give a thousand gold, but a friendship that weighed as much as a thousand catties.

Thinking about it, King Han looked at Chen Zhen and asked a little chokedly: "I don't know if the king of Chu has anything else to ask Mr. to confess?" ”

After speaking, Han Wang Jise was ready to be scolded.

When Chen Zhen heard this, he thought about it and said: "Back to the king, the widow heard Gongzi Ziqing say that when the king was in Zhao before the king, he was not used to eating the food of Zhao State. Therefore, this time the minister came to Korea, and the widow also specially asked the minister to send an imperial chef to the king, so that he must teach the Chu cuisine to the Korean imperial chef.

In this way, if the king wants to eat the dishes of Chu in the future, then he can enjoy them at any time. ”

When King Han heard this, he immediately remembered that when he was in Handan, he often went to Gongzi Ziqing's place to eat, but at this time, he couldn't help it anymore, and sighed with tears in his eyes: "The king of Chu treats me like a parent, knowing that I am used to the food of Chu, I am worried that I will never be able to eat the delicacies of Chu again, and specially sent me an imperial chef to cook for me." ”

Han Wang was moved for a while, and then saw that his uncle and Chen Zhen were silent, he gathered his mind slightly, and then looked at Chen Zhen and asked: "Sir, I don't know if the king will explain to Mr. and let Mr. scold me, if there is, then Mr. will scold, and the widow will never fight back." ”

Chen Zhen was stunned and asked strangely: "Why did the king say this, why did the widow scold the king?" ”

"The king treats me so kindly, and I just ordered the Han army to continue to attack the Chu State, shouldn't I be scolded?"

The king laughed. Chen Zhen arched his hand and said: "The widow knows the king, besides, now the king of Qin and the father of Zhao are still in Xinzheng?" ”

When King Han heard this, the tears that had just stopped couldn't help but flow down again.

He, the king of Han, should be the most cowardly king of Han, the king of a country, and he was even kidnapped by the king of Qin and Zhao.

Thinking about it, King Han gritted his teeth, cursed and swore an oath: "The king's love and protection, the widow already knows, and I ask Mr. to explain to the king for me, after the widow masters Korea, as long as the king is still there, then Korea will definitely not participate in any war activities, if this oath is violated, heaven and man will abandon it." ”
