I Won’t Be King in the Spring and Autumn Period Chapter 405 The Fate of the Wu Family
Ran Dan smiled meaningfully.
"The new king has ascended the throne and wants to make Master Wu She the Crown Prince and Tutor. Please invite Master Wu to set off for the capital of Ying!"
When Wu She saw Ran Dan's smile, she already understood something in her heart, but she still pretended to be surprised and replied:
"New king? Prince?"
"Now that the fourth prince has succeeded to the throne, his eldest son Jian will naturally become the crown prince!"
Fei Wuji reminded from the side.
Wu She smiled bitterly and glanced at Fei Wuji.
"Who is this lord?"
"My dear Fei, my name is Wuji. Thanks to the king's grace, I have been granted the title of Prince's Young Master! Speaking of which, Master Taifu is still a head above Wuji!"
Wu She actually knew the depth of Ran Dan's smile. He looked back at Wu Shang, a member of the army who was still wearing mourning clothes and a hat, and sighed secretly.
He wanted to refuse, but then he thought, if he refused, it would be tantamount to angering King Chu Qiji. Then I am afraid that the Wu family will never have peace in the future.
This is definitely not what Wu She wants to see.
"Haha, it's really hard for you two to come all the way. Since you're here in Yiyi, please let me show you my friendship as a landlord!"
Wu She immediately asked Wu Shang to prepare the banquet, while Wu Shang continued to guard the mourning hall. Wu She accompanied Fei Wuji and Ran Dan into the inner hall.
After the two of them sat down, Wu She also asked:
"I wonder where the prince is now?"
"The prince is currently in Yingdu, waiting for the tutor to go to give instructions! I wonder when do you want to leave?"
Fei Wuji asked a question when answering, but Wu She didn't say anything about it.
"My lords, my father passed away not long ago. It is not advisable to be too extravagant during the extravagant mourning period. Therefore, the banquet is quite simple. I hope you will not be surprised."
Ran Dan returned the gift with his hand in hand, and replied politely:
"Master Taifu is too polite. How can we and I not understand these truths? In fact, you don't need such hospitality. If we didn't have the king's orders, we shouldn't bother you again."
Wu She heard this and knew that what Ran Dan said was to secretly find a way for him to avoid going to Yingdu, so he immediately thanked him with deep gratitude:
"Master You Yin and my father are old acquaintances. It is only natural that I would like to come to entertain you..."
In this way, Wu She and Ran Dan talked a lot, and naturally left Fei Wuji aside. Therefore, Fei Wuji couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
The banquet was indeed not a rich one, with only some vegetarian food and a few meat dishes. Fei Wuji was not happy with this. So, he just sat there and drank wine. Wu Shang also kept trying to force him to drink wine.
Unknowingly, I became drunk.
Wu She saw Fei Wuji lying on the eucalyptus and winked at Wu Shang. Wu Shang understood and called out:
"Sir? Master Fei?..."
Fei Wuji said with a smile:
"No more drinking, no more drinking, I'm already too drunk..."
Before Fei Wuji finished speaking, he made a sound of sleeping soundly. Wu Shang glanced at his father. Wu She then stood up, picked up Ran Dan, and the two of them walked hand in hand to the courtyard. Wu Shang continued to serve Fei Wuji.
, but actually monitoring him to prevent him from pretending to be drunk.
Wu She sighed:
"Why is Lord Youyin by the fourth prince's side?"
Randan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Hey... I don't want to, but Dan is also entrusted by the late king to assist the new king of Zuo and carry out his last wish... By the way, Mr. Wu, the new king is by no means a tolerant king. I'll wait and see.
Come on, my lord, it’s best not to take this job.”
"Hmph! She was originally a person who was waiting for death. He didn't deserve to live his life, so what's the harm in dying now? If he really wanted to kill someone, he would just come. In this way, it would be better for the world to see clearly.
This guy’s true face!”
"Hey... If he can let you directly garrison Jiaoyi, or go to Qianxi to garrison, then it can be considered to be somewhat sincere. But now he asks you to go to Yingdu, this... I'm afraid he has ulterior motives.
…What’s more, this time you and Fei Wuji are asked to work together, which is really unsettling…”
Wu She looked back at Fei Wuji, who was sleeping soundly.
"Oh? How do you say this?"
"This man is very scheming. During this period of time when we were walking together, I realized that this man is extremely flattering and narrow-minded. Now, the position you have conferred is above him, lest this man will
Try every means to do harm to the adults!"
"Haha, She is not afraid of villains, not to mention that the late king has passed away, and She hates that he cannot die with his body. Since the new king is so worried about She, then let him do it. Besides, if She doesn't go, Jiaoyi will probably die.
There will no longer be peace, so if we, the three generations of the Wu family, have fought so hard for the army of Chu, won’t we bear the charge of treason in vain?”
"Besides, although Xiong Qiji is a villain, it is said that his son Jian is quite honest. Thinking about it, if She can concentrate on teaching him and make him a wise king, it will be a waste of the legacy established by the late king.
, it doesn’t mean it has ruined the reputation of my Wu family. In this way, if the late king has a spirit in heaven, he can also be comforted..."
When Ran Dan heard this, he was silent for a long time.
"The position given to Dan by the new king is still Youyin. Although this position is not a sinecure, it is not very important. Dan can protect himself. However, the position of Taifu is always with the prince, and the relationship is important. If there is a slight inconsistency,
Shen..."
You Yin is actually the deputy of Ling Yin. In addition to You Yin, there is also Zuo Yin. It is indeed not as important as Ling Yin, and even to some extent, it is not as important as Taifu and Shaoshi.
After all, those who often move under the king's nose, and the closer their positions are to the center, the more dangerous they are, especially those like them who had some resentment before.
Wu She heard this and replied helplessly:
"Hey, I have no other choice! I still have to go."
After Ran Dan heard this, he secretly said:
"Dan doesn't know what to say. I hope you can take care of yourself and take everything seriously!"
When Fei Wuji woke up, he saw Ran Dan looking at him with a smile on his face, so he touched his nose again and said rather awkwardly:
"I'm so drunk that I made a fool of myself...right? Where is the Grand Tutor?"
"Oh, he is saying goodbye to his family, we just have to wait."
Ran Dan answered, but Fei Wuji grinned and said:
"Actually, there is no need to say goodbye. All he needs to do is let his sons go with him. If he is valued by the king, they will all be respected!"
"Haha, this is a family matter of their Wu family, so we can't say more!"
Wu She and her two sons said goodbye before leaving. Wu Yuan said anxiously:
"Father! I think this is unacceptable. Before my grandfather died, he asked us to stay away from Prince Qiji and not get close to him! Has father forgotten?"
"Master, the matter has come to this. If my father doesn't leave, how can Jiaoyi be the place where my Wu family can stay?"
"If there is no place to stay here, then you can go to other countries... Yes! Find Mr. Ziming! Even if you go to other countries, you will not be affected by the cowardice of this rebellious minister and traitor!"
"Young Master! Our Wu family has been loyal to the Chu State for generations, so how can we defect to other countries at will?"
Wu She's tone became more and more severe.
Wu Yuan had no choice but to say nothing, while Wu Shang said:
"Father, I am willing to go with you!"
"No, you two must remember that if you don't write for your father, you two must not go to Yingdu! This matter is very important and must not be violated!"
Wu Shang and Wu Yuan were obviously not convinced, but since it was their father who was in front of them, they couldn't disobey him.
Wu She finally got on Fei Wuji and Ran Dan's carriage heading to Yingdu. Wu Shang and Wu Yuan were not worried about it and sent them far away.
Wu She waved his hand to let them go back. But he himself was actually a little nervous about this unknown future.
