At that time, Chao Wu's status was lower than that of abandoning disease, but he was an old Cai man, with an upright temperament and a warm-hearted heart; Cai Guoren likes to ask him for help when they are in trouble, so his power actually exceeds that of the abandonment. Fei Wuji flattered Chao Wu a lot, and Chao Wu deliberately kept his distance from him. Later, Chao Wu secretly recalled Zigan, abandoned the disease and Fei Wuji did enough tricks and pretended to escape; And Chao Wu almost killed Fei Wuji in the search for the two.

Fei Wuji has always been obsessed with this, but Chao Wu has never shown any guilt or made any explanation. Fei Wuji ascended to the sky one step at a time, and Chao Wu was still lukewarm to him, as if he was still the little person who nodded to himself back then; Fei Wuji repeatedly hinted at asking for bribes, but Chao Wu was stupid and couldn't make the right response.

After the restoration of the country, Cai Ping moved the capital to Xincai, and missed his homeland for Wu, so he left Chu and returned to Cai to continue to be his doctor.

Fei Wuji originally had some dishonorable interests in Cai Guo, so he entrusted Cai Chao to help him protect those interests. But the Cai Dynasty not only did not react, but also prevented him from establishing a circle in the Cai State. In this way, Chao Wu's series of actions seriously damaged Fei Wuji's interests and self-esteem, and he was determined to drive the old guy who did not know the current affairs out of Cai Guo's office.

In the spring of the fifteenth year of Lu Zhaogong, Fei Wuji sent an envoy to Cai Guo. Fei Wuji said to him at a private banquet held for him by Chaowu: "The king only believes in his master, so he sent his master to Cai Guo. The master made great contributions to the restoration of Cai Guo, and he is so old again, but he is still a doctor. The king could not bear it, so he ordered me to come and ask for the position of the secretary for the master. ”

This sentence hit Chao Wu's old lungs, he put down his chopsticks, lowered his head and said gloomily: "How can I not be disappointed? Although I have made great contributions, I am regarded as a traitor, a traitor, and a usurper because of the black history of Cai County; The prince still trusts the ministers who have followed him into exile, believing them to be loyal men, and I am just an opportunist who sees the wind and steers! ”

It turned out that after the fall of the Cai State, the exiles formed two major factions, one followed Dongguo, the son of Prince Yin, and the other followed the second son of Cai Linggong; Before Chao Wu went into exile, he belonged to the Yin Prince faction, and the power of this faction was also stronger than that of the Gongzi Lu faction.

After the restoration of the state of Cai, King Chu Ping, considering the great hatred of the eastern kingdom for the state of Chu and the extremely high popularity of the prince Yin, decided to support the weaker but more gentle prince Lu as the king. In fact, Gongzilu never had the luxury of expecting to ascend to the throne one day, and he was originally willing to serve the Eastern Kingdom; Dongguo, on the other hand, thinks that the throne is indispensable, and has been gearing up to return to China to do a big job. King Chuping's order surprised everyone and also sowed the seeds of discord between the two factions, which was beneficial to the state of Chu. Since Chao Wu belonged to the original Dongguo faction, he was excluded by Cai Ping's regime.

Fei Wuji said: "The widow has a life, who dares not to listen? With me here, the Master will rest assured! The next day, he went to visit Shangqing Gongzi Hu and said: "Doctor Chao Wu invited me to a private banquet yesterday, and he expressed great dissatisfaction with the princes and doctors during the banquet; He complained that he had great merit but no great reward, and that the master and other ministers were in high positions because of their merit. I was worried about the turmoil in the office, so I didn't dare not tell him. ”

Gongzihu did not doubt the authenticity of this statement at all, because it was not the first time he had heard similar words. It turned out that Gongzilu unexpectedly got the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he has been deliberately suppressing his opponents; Dongguo, who has the highest position, is just a doctor, and as a result, the Dongguo faction is extremely indignant, if there is no Chu people behind the scenes to support the current regime, Dongguo would have fought to the death with Cai Pinggong.

Those words coming out of Fei Wuji's mouth increased the urgency and danger of reality. Gongzihu thanked Fei Wuji and sent him away.

Fei Wuji turned around and went to see Chao Wu again, and said to him: "I have already asked Gongzihu for it, and he said that he can consider it; The rest is up to the Master. ”

Chao Wu understood the meaning of "can be considered", and a few days later brought a gift to see Gongzihu; But because of the psychological superiority consciousness, he behaved less like he had come to ask for someone, but more like he had come to issue orders. Gongzihu was silent on the surface, politely gave another gift, but secretly ran to see Cai Pinggong, saying that Chao Wu was going to rebel.

Cai Pinggong suddenly fell into extreme anxiety and uneasiness, and he shouted with a twisted face: "Chaowu is a close confidant of the king of Chu, what should the widow do?" Isn't it time to give the seat to Dongkook? ”

Gongzihu said: "Fei Wuji is the mouthpiece of the King of Chu, and he has a clear meaning when he says this. Don't worry, you can take measures against Chaowu. ”

At the beginning of the summer, Cai Pinggong issued an expulsion order against Chaowu, and the crime was related to his name, which was "Tongwu"; Chao Wu had no choice but to escape from Cai Guo and run to Zheng Guo.

King Chuping was furious when he heard the news, he suspected that the matter was related to Fei Wuji, so he ordered Ran Dan to investigate. Ran Dan first returned to the motherland to meet Chaowu, and then went to Cai Guo to meet Cai Pinggong and Gongzi Hu, and then found out the truth.

After listening to Ran Dan's report, King Chuping was furious, he summoned Fei Wuji, scolded him for half an hour, and finally asked him: "If there is no Chaowu, there will be no today; Besides, Bugu only believed in Chaowu, so he kept him in Cai Guo as an eyeliner. Why did you expel him? Can't you wait to see Dou Chengran? ”

Fei Wuji replied with sincere fear: "Why doesn't the minister know that the king values him? However, the minister found that he was dissatisfied with the status quo and had already given birth to two hearts, and tried to abolish Cai Hou and establish Dongguo as the king. After Dongguo ascends the throne, he will inevitably take refuge in the Jin State, and then the Cai State will be out of the control of our country! The minister was afraid that it would be difficult for the king to learn about this, and he was afraid that he would see the day when Cai Guo betrayed, so he took it upon himself to expel him. ”

King Chuping, out of trust in Fei Wuji, did not punish him. Fei Wuji walked out of the palace gate and let out a sigh, wiped off the beads of sweat, straightened his waist and walked forward, he had already grasped the weakness of King Chu Ping, and since then he has played with King Chu Ping in the palm of his hand.

Fei Wuji was incorruptible and shameless, unprincipled flattering and submissive to King Chuping, and on the surface became the king's most "loyal" minion; In fact, he deceived King Chuping by abandoning the same method he used to deal with Zigan and Zihui, turning him into a deaf and dazzling fool who lost his ability to judge, and turned him into a tool for his own evil; He purged all those he was dissatisfied with by branding them as traitors, but he did all the evil deeds during the lifetime of King Chuping without the slightest punishment.

In the end, the evil deeds he did finally reached its peak, and he actually created two fatal gods and little people for the Chu State, not to mention the soldiers and Bo Yao, and pushed the Chu State into the abyss of no return.
