Chapter 572: Wu Zixu Passes the Zhao Pass
Wang Sunsheng nodded, quietly came behind the commander, and pulled his cuffs. When the commander saw the boy, he couldn't help but be shocked. Wang Sunsheng made a silent gesture and said softly: "If you want to see Zixu, come with me alone." ”
The officer followed Wang Sunsheng to the hidden place of the soldiers, he carefully looked at the unkempt old man named Huazi in front of him, and finally recognized him, and couldn't help but say with joy: "God bless me!" I'm going to be developed! ”
The soldier's face was full of disdain, and he said: "On the contrary, if you sacrifice me to the king, you will be put to death, and I have come to save you." ”
Seeing the commander's stunned face, the soldier continued: "When my ancestor Wu Shen made great contributions, King Zhuang gave him a peerless night pearl offered by the Yue people. Everyone in the country knows about this. And Abandonment has always coveted that treasure, so he wants to seize it under the pretense of being wanted by me. But I have lost the bead, and if you hand me in, I will say that you snatched the pearl of the night; You can't hand it over, can the king of Chu not kill you then? ”
The commander exclaimed, "Well, then I'll have to hand over your head!" ”
The soldier said: "Then the king of Chu will think that you have robbed treasures and killed people, and your life will not be guaranteed." Don't expect to kill me quietly here, a hundred steps ahead is the level, where there are hundreds of witnesses. And if I am caught by anyone, I will confess you, and besides, Wang Sun is not guilty, you don't dare to kill him too, right? ”
The commander was speechless for a moment, and he thought for a long time before he said, "If the master doesn't harm me, he saves me!" I'll send the two of you out of Zhaoguan safely, and I will treat you as if I have never seen them! ”
He got two sets of mourning clothes for the soldiers and Wang Sunsheng, and got a carriage, and the two of them passed through Zhaoguan safely in the guise of mourning. About 70 miles east of Zhaoguan is the mighty Yangtze River, the two of them sailed up the river, entered Tongshui at Jiuzi, then crossed Taihu Lake (then called "Five Lakes"), and finally abandoned the boat in Gusu and went ashore.
Wu Yuan was introduced to the court of the Wu king through the introduction of people from the Chu State who were in exile in the Wu State. The exile, who had a bitter hatred for King Chuping, eagerly promoted his "Vachuli Wu" when he first saw the king, without taking into account the complicated environment he was in. Wu Yuan said that the domineering spirit of Chu has become yesterday's yellow flower; State officials are corrupt, the aristocracy is degenerate, and the people are scattered; If he was given two armies, he would be able to smash Huanglong and dedicate Yingdu to the king. Then he gave many reasons why it was beneficial to the state of Wu.
The royal bureaucracy had never expected to capture Yingdu, and he felt that it was exciting and a little dazed, so he turned his attention to the ministers. Wang's cousin, Gongzi Guang, was the first to stand up and object. He said: "This man's father and brother were executed by the king of Chu, and he fled first to the state of Song, and later to the state of Zheng, and lobbied the monarchs of the two countries to harm Chu. If Wang Zijian hadn't been killed because of his unsuccessful rebellion, the soldiers would not have been able to come here for the rest of their lives. In this case, can it still be said that everything he did was for the benefit of the Wu State? He's just for the sake of a personal vendetta! When the time comes, Ying won't be able to attack it, so what's the use of cutting off his head 10,000 times? After speaking, he turned around and glared angrily at the soldier, but at the same time blinked his eyes "inadvertently".
The soldier was about to refute, but when he saw that action, he immediately understood it, so he stopped arguing. The king said: "The war on Chu is a major national matter, and it should be considered in the long run, not in a day or two. He was then appointed doctor.
Wu Yuan said: "The minister has come to attack Chu, and since the king cannot accept my proposal, I have nothing to do for the state of Wu." The minister can't accept the canonization, wait for the king to decide to attack Chu and then use the minister! ”
When the soldier withdrew from the royal court, he learned that Gongzi Guang owned a large piece of land in the suburbs, so he contracted a piece of it and officially became a tenant of Gongzi Guang. Wang Sunsheng asked puzzledly: "Just stop the master from attacking Chu, why does the master still want to please him?" ”
The soldier replied, "Gongzi Guang is about to do great things, and he is afraid that I will disrupt the plan, so he will stop it." And I will help him fulfill his wish, and he will help me to take revenge. ”
It turned out that Wu Ziyi wanted to pass the throne to Ji Za before he died, but Ji Za refused; Yi Mo insisted on asking again, and Ji Za ran back to Fengyi to farm in a hurry. Yi Mo had no choice but to appoint his eldest son, Zhou Yu (Wang Bureauc), as the king. However, his decision aroused strong dissatisfaction with Zhu Fan's eldest son, Guang. Gongziguang believes that since the throne of Yimo was passed from the hands of Zhu Fan, he should also hand over the throne to himself now, otherwise he will not only live up to Zhu Fan's righteous actions, but also destroy the ancestral tradition of his brother and brother.
But the royal servant was not polite at all, and sat down without humility. He gradually sensed Childe's dissatisfaction with him, and as a result, although the two cousins were respectful on the surface, they were full of hostility in their hearts.
Since Wu Yuan and Gongzi Guang have a personal attachment relationship, it is reasonable for the two to have contact, and outsiders think that Wu Yuan's purpose in staming Gongzi Guang is to gain his support for Fa Chu.
On this day, when the soldier came out of Gongziguang's house, he saw two people arguing when he passed by a vegetable market. One of them was a large, hideous-looking butcher, and the other was a richly dressed son of a nobleman, accompanied by two attendants. The boy was arrogant and arrogant, claiming that he would "kill all the butchers' family". The butcher was furious, and grabbed the sharp knife to kill; At the critical moment, an old, trembling voice came from the butcher shop: "Don't make trouble, come back quickly!" ”
The butcher's downward tiger anger was immediately discharged, and he turned like a kitten that had done something wrong, and returned to the house obediently with his tail between his legs.
Seeing the lively crowd erupting in laughter, they all turned and dispersed, and the soldier lifted the curtain and walked into the store, and saw that the butcher was being reprimanded by an old woman with his head down, and he did not dare to take a sip.
After a few conversations with the butcher, he learned that his name was Zhuanzhu, that the old woman was his mother, and that he had a young son. The soldier bought some meat and left.
From then on, the soldier became a frequent customer of the butcher's butcher's shop, and he often packed all the goods of the butcher's shop for a day (all the meat was sent to Gongziguang's house), and then invited Zhuan to drink and chat, and later built a new house for him.
When drinking on this day, Zhuan Zhu couldn't help but say, "Master, I know what happened to you, and I also know the purpose of your coming to Wu Kingdom. Thanks to the master for taking care of my whole family, the master ordered me to assassinate the king of Chu, and I dare not refuse. But with my mother here, I don't dare to die; After the death of the old mother, everything was ordered by the master! ”
The soldier said, "If the Master doesn't mention it, I won't mention it." But it is Gongzi Guang who needs you, not me, and the assassination target is not the King of Chu but the King of Wu. If the Master agrees, the Master will come to visit you personally; If you can't, don't spread it. ”
Zhuan Zhu said: "I don't know what kind of son, everything is up to the master!" ”
The soldiers were overjoyed and immediately introduced the special to Gongziguang. Gongzi Guangguang was overjoyed and promised Zhuan Zhu that once he succeeded in usurping the throne, he would make Zhuan Zhu's son a doctor (Zhuan Zhu would not see that day).
