604 The generals of the country are in chaos, there must be evil spirits
If there weren't too many people, Queen Mother Zhao almost raised her hand and slapped the naughty child, what nonsense were you talking about!
The whole hall fell into confusion and embarrassment. Why did the monarch's black fart go round? It couldn't go round.
Very unlucky.
The doctor Dou Huang who was standing in the crowd was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. His original elegant demeanor was gone. In the current situation of Chu State, internal fighting is still necessary, but the villain Li Jie appeared.
Dogs, after all, are united and united in dealing with the outside world.
Although Emperor Dou didn't understand what Li Jie was thinking, what was the benefit of forcing the entire Chu country to become so united?
"No...Isn't it a mistake to say no?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the naughty child shed tears and held back the tears. After weaning, he has never encountered such a situation. Even if his rebellion reaches the gate of Yingdu, he has never been frightened.
But this time, I was a little scared.
The ministers all looked like mothers, and if they hadn't seen their eyes adjust, they might have thought they were mourning the founding of the country.
"What the king said is absolutely true!"
Suddenly, a high-pitched voice popped out from the main hall. A man came out and said loudly: "My minister, Xiang Ba, I deeply agree! What the king said, sincerity is the common sense in the world!"
The doctor there raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: Villager Xiang, what is this trick?
Unlike other Xiang clans, the family behind Xiang Ba is one of the few families in Chu that has "one surname", and the surname Xiang is the Xiang clan.
Although they were also descendants of Xiang Guo, the family behind Xiang Ba started their careers as ministers and did not have many military exploits.
I only listened to Xiang Ba's deep respect to the end, then stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Jie of the State of Wu is an extraordinary person. In the past, he acted on the basis of meritocracy, and in the later period, he acted on the principle of "seeking talents as much as he is thirsty." Even though he was born
Although he was humble, he was highly valued by King Wei of Wu, so he served the King of Wu with bravery. At that time, the Kingdom of Wu opened up its territory and expanded its territory. At that time, Gusu Yingjie was given the title of superior, with the two characters "Wei" and "Huan", because the word "Wei" was the name of King Wu Wei.
I personally selected it, so it’s called ‘Mighty King’.”
Xiang Ba ignored the looks of his colleagues and continued: "However, it has been said since ancient times that the expansion of territory is called 'Huan'. Today, the state of Wu reaches Ouyue in the south, Qilu in the north, and the Huaihe River in the north and south. Everything is controlled by the state of Wu. Except for
The fall of the Yue Kingdom and the new territory were all due to Li Jie's contribution. Your Majesty, when you hooked Wu in the southeast, Li Jie is a true hero."
After saying this, Xiang Ba looked up at the King of Chu again: "The king said: If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. At that time, Li Jie of the Wu Kingdom was also the phoenix of the Wu Kingdom. The minister Xiang Ba thought that the king's eyes were like a torch and he could distinguish right from wrong. In fact, he was just talking.
It makes sense, why is it so unreasonable?"
Spreading his hands, Xiang Ba had a puzzled look on his face, and then he looked left and right, making the ministers on both sides tremble.
Only the naughty boy King Chu who was sitting high looked happy. The tears in his eyes disappeared without a trace without wiping them.
The naughty boy showed a smile, thinking that there were indeed loyal ministers in this court.
Seeing Xiang Ba's shameless flattery, they wanted to refute, but for the sake of the overall situation and the hard-won internal peace of Chu State, many people chose to hold back.
It’s okay if you don’t hold it back. After all, there’s no need to refute it. It’s an innocuous matter. It’s a face to the king so that everyone can step down. This will save you from spreading the news when the time comes. Someone will arrange it and say that the people of Wu haven’t attacked yet. The king of Chu is his own king.
, and began to think about surrendering.
The king of Chu wants to see other people's sycamore trees. Isn't this surrender?
You can't say "The world is so big, I want to see it", right?
Zheng Shuang, the king of Zheng State, and Cai Dong, the king of Cai State, have been visiting the tombs in Gusu for several months. Haven't you seen enough?!
These days, how can any monarch take the initiative to die?
Empress Dowager Zhao originally wanted to slap the naughty child, but now she saw that someone came to the rescue and seemed to be able to turn the accident into a good story. She felt secretly happy and wanted to reward Xiang Ba on the spot. Finally, she still felt a little bit better.
Knowing that this matter was embarrassing, I gave up and thought about finding an opportunity to reward him from the side.
After the meeting ended, Douhuang, the doctor there, originally wanted to stop Xiang Ba and ask him clearly, what the hell are you doing above the meeting?
As a result, before Dou Huang could say anything, two grumpy old white-haired doctors came up and slapped off Xiang Ba's crown as soon as he stepped out of the threshold.
After slapping it off, he scolded: "Village man of the Xiang family, why are you crowned?!"
Xiang Ba did not make a fuss, nor was he annoyed. Instead, he picked up the crown with a smile. Although his hair was scattered on his shoulders, he used a broken hosta to stir it up again and fixed it in place.
Then Xiang Ba held his crown under his arm and walked out of the palace in a swaggering manner.
Seeing his attitude, another white-haired old doctor also had a bad temper. He went up and slapped him on the back of the head: "How can you ignore your manners when you are the emperor's salary? As a doctor of the Xiang family, how can you be in the palace with your hair disheveled, like Southeast Asia?"
Barbarians?”
Xiang Ba still smiled and said nothing, calmly put the crown on his head again, spread his hands, laughed, and continued to leave in a swaggering manner.
"You... villain! Bah!"
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
…
There were many ministers who spat at Xiang Ba, but Dou Huang, the official who wanted to stop Xiang Ba before, was confused now. What does this mean?
The thought of talking to Xiang Ba disappeared immediately, making the doctor feel uncomfortable all over.
After Xiang Ba left, Dou Huang, the official there, sighed: "The country is about to be in chaos, and there must be monsters."
At this time, he really missed the "Arrow-bearing Warrior" Dou Shi, Bai Ju Dou Shi... What a damn unlucky person!
It is nonsense to say that the warriors are now declining in power and strength. In the entire Chu State, the Dou family is still the unyielding boss.
The strength of the royal family may only be half of that of the Dou family. The entire Chu State is not so much the Chu State of the King of Chu as it is shared by the King of Chu and the Dou family.
Although they all come from the same clan, over the course of hundreds of years, everything that should be divided has been divided, and who follows whom?
"The doctor in that place was careful to say, 'How can we start talking about 'the country is going to be in chaos'?"
"When I saw the situation of the Wu State, I felt sorry for the Wu State and felt happy for the Chu State. The Wu State was about to be in chaos, so monsters like Li Jie brought trouble to the Wu State..."
The response was flawless, and the doctor Dou Huang looked as usual, ignoring the concerns of his "close" colleagues.
Seeing that Dou Huang dismissed him lightly, and the other party did not continue to pester him, he cupped his hands and left.
Seeing a flatterer like Xiang Ba pop up, the doctor there actually felt a little irritated. This irritation was even stronger than the execution of the "Guoshi with an Arrow".
Although the internal struggle in Chu State has come to an end, seeing Li Jie still carrying out large-scale construction in Huaizhong City, many people feel that the legendary "Autumn War" may not come.
Who doesn't know how to brag? In Chu State, they should also talk about "annihilating Wu in three years". Compared with "pacifying Chu in five years", isn't it more arrogant and exciting?
However, based on the intelligence and the development situation on both sides of the Huai River, Dou Huang, the doctor there, believed that Li Jie, the evil dog of the Wu State, really wanted to kill the Chu State.
After making this basic judgment, Douhuang further boldly guessed that if Li Jie had absolute strength and absolute confidence, wouldn't he not want to see the Chu State in disarray? Because when the time comes to attack Chu State, every hilltop will be followed by Bai Ju.
Just like Doushi, you have to eat them one by one by yourself.
Compared with this situation, it would be better for the Chu State to be twisted into a rope.
If we gather them together and solve them all at once, there will be no need to attack the remaining Chu forces one by one.
Your vitality has been destroyed, so what are you afraid of?
Don't save too much effort.
Of course, the main premise is to have absolute strength and absolute certainty.
As he thought about it, cold sweat broke out on Dou Huang's forehead. Now that he recalled what the naughty kid king said, he felt that it had a bit of a "nursery rhyme" meaning. Could it be that there is some kind of power of ghosts and gods in the dark?
If the country is about to be in chaos, the evildoers must be defeated.
If the effect is the cause, now that the evildoer has appeared, is it time for the country to be in chaos?
"No matter what, as a doctor in Quanyi, I should be in charge of national affairs!"
With his hands clenched into fists, Dou Huang suddenly stopped and said to the accompanying visitors: "Please inform the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I have a report from Dou Huang."
"Uh..." The visitor obviously didn't expect the doctor from that place to suddenly appear, but after all, the Dou family is a super mountaineer in the Chu country, and words can be used easily.
The visitor bowed and saluted: "Young Master Quan, I will go and report this."
"Troublesome."
In return of a rare gift, Emperor Dou took a deep breath and looked at the slightly decayed Yingdu Palace. In the midsummer, many of the paint surfaces were cracked by the sun, and the paint peeled off piece by piece. It was extremely ugly and full of decay.
