On the other side, not long after Song Xiangqiu entered the Song Palace, Zuo Cheng, a doctor in the Chu Kingdom, quietly came outside the Song Palace.

The purpose of his visit to the Song Kingdom this time was to solve the matter of Prince Song's imprisonment.

At this time, Zuo Cheng looked at the tall and majestic Song Palace, his heart was full of helplessness, there were many things in the country, and he didn't want to leave the center of the whirlpool in Yingdu. However, there was a change in the Song Kingdom, and the Song King, who was half-cut into the ground, suddenly crawled out of the grave and caused chaos in the Song Kingdom.

So, the king had an edict, and he, a person who was very familiar with the Song Kingdom, traveled thousands of miles to the Song Kingdom to rescue the almost sixty-year-old Prince Zhen.

As soon as he thought of this, Zuo Cheng's heart immediately gave birth to one stream after another.

I have only heard of courtiers killing kings and brothers and fathers, and I have never heard of an 80-year-old monarch who staged a coup d'état and ousted his 60-year-old son from power in one fell swoop, and an 80-year-old father imprisoned his 60-year-old son.

The farce of the Song Kingdom greatly opened Zuo Cheng's eyes, this kind of thing has not been heard of since ancient times, and it may not happen in the future.

Perhaps, for the old is not respectful, and the old is not dead, it is said that it is a person like King Song.

Zuo Cheng sighed in his heart for a while, and then came to the palace gate: "Generals, I am tired of informing you, Zuo Cheng, the envoy of Chu State, asks to see King Song!" ”

In the palace.

Not long after Song Xiangqiu left, King Song's helpless sigh had not yet ended, and at this time, another messenger came to report: "King, Zuo Cheng, the envoy of Chu State, is visiting. ”

"Zuo Cheng? How did he get here? King Song was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his heart suddenly became shocked and angry.

As an envoy of the Chu State, Zuo Cheng should have reported to him immediately after entering the border of the Song State.

As a result, now that Zuo Chengdu has arrived outside the palace, he, the king of the Song Kingdom, has received the news of the visit of foreign envoys.

Fortunately, this is still a foreign envoy, if the foreign army sneaks outside the palace, then he, the king of the Song Kingdom, will not be captured.

Thinking about it, King Song suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, originally he thought that Song Guo was still in his control, but now, he has deeply realized that the situation in Song Guo has been out of his control.

Maybe he knows that although he is eighty years old, his health is still very good, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is not necessarily. Especially when he pretended to be sick for a few months before, maybe since then, everyone in the Song Kingdom thought that he was hopeless, so the nobles and officials from all over the country pledged their allegiance to the crown prince.

Thinking of this, King Song regretted that he had made a stupid move, and his heart gradually became cold.

The widow wants to tell everyone: the widow is not old yet!

At this time, Tang Ying, who was serving on the side, was also shocked when he heard that the minister of Chu suddenly appeared outside the palace, and then immediately arched his hand and said: "King, those who come are not good and good people do not come, and the State of Chu is here to demonstrate to us." ”

King Song nodded, the front foot of the prince's suit had just reached his hand, and here, the envoy of Chu State Zuo Cheng arrived outside the palace with his hind foot, which showed that his eldest grandson Gongzifu had already been connected with Chu State.

However, King Song also knew in his heart that if it wasn't for the fact that the Chu State was carrying out a change at this time, he would not be able to take care of the Song State.

Otherwise, it was not the envoy of Chu who just appeared outside the palace, but the Chu and Song coalition forces led by Gongzifu.

Thinking of this, King Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, the heavens were on the side of the widow, and fortunately, the widow chose to do it when the Chu State had no time to take care of him.

Thinking about it, King Song gradually gained confidence in his heart, and then, King Song said calmly: "Come to someone, spread the envoy of Chu to see the widow." ”

"Yui."

Soon, when King Song saw Zuo Cheng coming, he immediately shouted: "Sir, the widow is a thief who doesn't tell him, and a thief who doesn't tell him, but Mr. Jin, as the messenger of the King of Chu, quietly blended into Shangqiu, I'm afraid it's not moral." ”

As soon as Zuo Cheng heard that the King of Song had preemptively condemned the Chu State, he knew in his heart what the confidence of the King of Song was, and immediately responded with a smile: "The king's words are wrong, the prince Zhen made an appointment with the widow before, and the ministers came to swear an oath with the prince at the order of the widow, and this matter has already been told to the prince prince.

As a result, the minister arrived in the Song Kingdom, but he was not treated fairly, and along the way, the Song Kingdom not only did not provide food and lodging, but also did not even provide a guide. As a last resort, the minister had to pay out of his own pocket and find his own way. Fortunately, he has been in the Song Kingdom for several years and is familiar with the roads of the Song Kingdom, otherwise the minister would not know where to go at the moment. ”

Saying that, Zuo Cheng's face turned straight and asked King Song: "Great King, does the unfair treatment of the ministers mean that the Song State has planned to break with the Chu State, not to take my Chu State in his eyes, and at the same time to overturn all the alliances signed between the prince and the widow before?" ”

"Damn, it's just a matter of secretly coming to Shangqiu to slap the widow's face, and now he's even beating a rake..." King Song looked at Zuo Cheng in the hall, and a wave of anger suddenly appeared in his heart.

Although he wanted to nod and turn his face with Chu State at this moment, when he thought of the situation in Song State at this moment...

King Song took a deep breath, then turned his head to look at the minister Tang Ying and said, "Xianqing, does Qing know about the appointment between the prince and the king of Chu?" ”

Tang Ying immediately shook his head and said, "Back to the king, the minister doesn't know." ”

"Huh?" King Song nodded, and then ordered: "The widow entrusted the country to the prince, and as a result, the prince acted in a disgraceful manner, which was too disappointing for the widow.

Edict: Let people tell the prince about Dr. Zuo, and blame the prince so that he can deepen his introspection. ”

"Yui!"

Zuo Cheng: "···"

Tai Zizhen: "······"

Then, after King Song vented the evil anger in his heart, he smiled and apologized to Zuo Cheng: "Mr.'s matter, his fault lies in our country, in order to show his heart, the widow is willing to give five hundred gold as a thank you!" ”

As soon as Zuo Cheng heard that King Song was soft, he immediately had confidence in his heart.

"The king, the prince had an appointment with the widow before, and now the minister heard that the prince was imprisoned, I don't know if the agreement between you and me still counts?"

“···” The corners of King Song's mouth twitched when he heard this, don't you know if it counts? The widow has already given the book to the kingdom of Chu.

It's just that when he thought of the gap between Chu and Song, King Song didn't want to take the initiative to provoke Chu at this time, so he had to endure it silently in his heart.

"Of course, the previous covenant is over, and all the conditions agreed to by the prince are done according to the widow's will, although the prince has thought about it behind closed doors at home now, but this does not affect the relationship between Chu and Song."

Zuo Cheng saw that King Song endured and endured, and immediately made persistent efforts and said: "King, regarding the matter of the crown prince Zhen thinking about it behind closed doors, the widow said that he paid close attention. At the same time, the widow asked his ministers to tell the king that the crown prince is a country, and if it is not solid, the country will be shaken. Father's kindness and filial piety are the principles of human ethics, and if human ethics is disorderly, the society will be chaotic.

Therefore, the widow asked his ministers to come here, and asked the king to release the prince immediately to enjoy the joy of family! ”

“··· Is it tolerable or unbearable! King Song was annoyed in his heart, and even his smiling face was cold, but he didn't dare to turn his face after all, he just said coldly: "Sir, this is a widow's private matter, and I ask King Chu not to interfere." ”

Zuo Cheng smiled and said: "Of course, the widow of the Song Dynasty has no intention of interfering, but Mrs. Song is worried about her father and you, the king, so the widow asked the ministers to persuade the king." If the king and the crown prince are happy, then Mrs. Song will be at ease, Mrs. Song will be at ease, and the widow will be at ease. ”

King Song's face sank when he heard this.

It's Mrs. Song again, every time the Chu people meddle in the internal affairs of the Song Dynasty, they use the banner of Mrs. Song, and they know that today, they shouldn't have let Mrs. Song serve the King of Chu in the first place.

Thinking about it, King Song said in a gloomy tone: "Mrs. Song doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the Song Kingdom, she just needs to serve the King of Chu." ”

When Zuo Cheng heard this, he saw that King Song's face and tone were already unkind, and he knew that King Song's arrogance had been suppressed, and if he pressed it again, it might backfire.

At this time, Zuo Cheng knew that his task had been completed, and immediately gave up his hand: "In this way, the minister will pass on the king's will to the widow." ”

Then, as soon as Zuo Cheng left, King Song immediately said angrily to the minister Tang Ying: "The king of Chu bullied the widow too much, and the widow couldn't bear it."

However, before the outside world can be secured, there are many people in the country who have fornicated with the enemy country, and the widow has decided to wipe them out. ”

After that, King Song waited closely for Tang Ying and said, "Xianqing, the widow plans to leave this matter to you." ”

When Tang Ying heard this, he immediately knew what King Song was talking about, and immediately gave up his hand and said: "Please rest assured, the king will not let go of a bad person." ”

Hearing this, King Song smiled and nodded: "Good." ”

For a few days, King Song's internal rectification had not yet begun, but the news of the Chu army came first.

"King, there was an abnormal movement in Chendi's Chu army, and the spies came to report that when Tang Mo led the army to retreat, he did not return to Yingdu through Chen Cai's land, but went south along Yingshui."

"Yingshui?" King Song was taken aback when he heard this.

The Chu army went south to Yingshui, bypassing Wei and marching eastward to the land of Yingdong, not far from the territory of Song.

"What does the Chu army want to do, does the king of Chu want to use force to intervene in the affairs of the Song State if he can't lobby it?"

"Detective, closely monitor the movements of the Chu army."

"Yui."

"Spread the edict, order the mobilization of soldiers and soldiers, and prepare the army for battle."

"Yui."

And a few more days.

"King, the Chu army continued to move south, and did not go to the land of Yingdong, but went to Shou County."

"Shou County?" King Song suddenly had a suspicion in his heart: "Could it be that the goal of the Chu army is not to be outnumbered?" ”

As soon as this thought came to mind, over there, Tang Ying hurriedly came to report: "Wang, it's not good, the spies we are monitoring Gongzifu have come to report, not long ago Gongzifu went to Shou County." ”

"What?" King Song was shocked when he heard this.

Gongzifu went to Shou County, and Chu Jun also went to Shou County.

So...

At this time, a picture immediately appeared in the mind of the King of Song: hundreds of thousands of Chu and Song coalition troops, among which the army in the hands of Gongzifu was the forerunner, and Tang Yu led the Chu army as the backup, killing Shangqiu mightily, and everywhere he went, all the Song people were eating pot pulp to welcome Gongzifu's army.

And then... And then...

Thinking about it, King Song immediately shook his head vigorously, wanting to throw this picture out of his mind, but these pictures kept appearing in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.

What to do... What to do...

Between the six gods and the ownerless, King Song hurriedly said: "Xianqing, immediately send someone to the Qi State for help, just say that the Chu State intends to do something to the widow." ”

"King, the news from the Qi country, the lord of the Qi country is seriously ill, and the Qi general Tian Jia is fighting with the tentacles, and now the Qi country can't take care of us." Saying that, Tang Ying hesitated and said, "And... The state of Zhao is going to hold an alliance, and the minister is worried that this time the Chu people come, it is very likely that Qi and Chu will join forces to prevent our Song country from falling to the Zhao state. ”

"Shhh King Song gasped, and his face turned pale.

Now that Zhao is planning to avenge Wei and Qin, and Qi and Chu are uniting in order to restrain Zhao, what should the isolated Song State ?????

At this time, Tang Ying looked at King Song, and stopped talking, but he didn't say it after all.

After a while, when the monarchs and ministers of the Song Kingdom were helpless, a waiter reported to the Song Wangyu: "Great King, the elder of the sect who is responsible for sacrificing the temple is here..."
