The Chen family's father and daughter walked slowly toward the palace city surrounded by guards. Chen Liehu deliberately walked slowly to give the eunuch time to go back and report.
Although he resisted the decree and refused to go to prison, he would not really break into the palace gate. No matter how ridiculous King Wu was, he was still his king.
The eunuch entered the palace city as fast as he could, stumbled and cried, and came to see King Wu: "Your Majesty, Chen Liehu has rebelled."
The King of Wu was fair-faced and slightly fat. He was born as the crown prince in the Kingdom of Wu. He was extravagant and arrogant since he was a child. He was also sensitive and suspicious because he was killed by his brothers before he inherited the throne.
He was lying on the beauty's lap to recuperate. When the eunuch stumbled and frightened him, he sat up in a panic. He calmed down again when he heard Chen Liehu's name.
This old guy relied on his status as a veteran of the Wu Kingdom to give him instructions, but it was not enough to rebel.
He asked the eunuch: "The master didn't give you a good look. Are you resisting the king's order again?"
The eunuch Ying Yingying cried and embellished the story and pointed outside: "He even brought troops and horses to threaten the king! Your Majesty, please send troops and horses quickly!"
King Wu thought of facing Chen Liehu and put his hand on his head: "I have to listen to his nagging again."
Here, Zhang Meiren burst into tears: "It's all my concubines who have brought trouble to the king."
When the beauty cried, King Wu felt really sorry for her, and quickly comforted her: "This is not your and your father's fault. Who made the master insist on letting his son go to war? Now that he is dead, he is alone and sorry for them."
At this time, the guard reported that Chen Liehu was outside the palace gate asking for an audience. The eunuch hurriedly crawled forward a few steps and called to the king: "Quickly summon the imperial army to arrest him."
"His grandfather was canonized along with Wu Di. When Gu was injured, he was the one who kept the kings from moving." King Wu was annoyed and angry. "He is old and disrespectful, so Gu has to give him face."
This old guy is still very tough on his life. If he doesn't die, he still has to provide for him.
Chen Liehu just said that the situation is very critical, how to deploy troops and how to send generals. Really, Wu has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is the Yangtze River. What is there to be afraid of? Not to mention that there are kings of Zhou and Qi fighting together.
Wouldn't it be better to let them fight first and consume the imperial court while he reaps the benefits?
As Wenshe people said, these military generals all like to fight, fearing that if they don't have the chance to make meritorious deeds, even the smallest thing will cause a huge scandal.
Look at this old guy Chen Liehu, taking this opportunity to send off his son and then his son-in-law, he also wants to go to the battlefield. Now he is making noises about fighting in this way, and later he will be making noises about various rewards.
.
The King of Wu didn't want to listen to the nagging, so he asked the eunuch to send word to Wensheren and other ministers to come with them. When Chen Liehu argued and made noise with them, he would be able to relax.
The eunuch hurriedly went to deliver the order, and the King of Wu said goodbye to the beauty. Zhang Meiren reluctantly held his sleeve: "Then can the king still come to the afternoon poetry banquet? Their poems are not as good as the king. If the king doesn't come,
A poem-writing banquet would be boring."
King Wu promised: "Of course I will come. I got a good word in my dream last night. I will write it down when the time comes."
Zhang Meiren then let go of her hand and leaned against the railing to send King Wu off.
Chen Liehu waited outside the palace for a long time before the palace door opened. A new eunuch was escorted by the imperial army and asked Chen Liehu to come in with a face. After entering the palace, he could not ride a horse. Chen Liehu limped and walked alone.
, Chen Danzhu followed closely.
When the eunuch saw Chen Danzhu following him, he wanted to say that the king only summoned Chen Liehu, but after thinking about it he decided not to cause trouble and let Chen Liehu anger the king.
This is not the first time Chen Danzhu has entered the palace. The current King of Wu likes singing and dancing, and banquets are often held in the palace. The daughter of the Taifu family is a noble daughter of the capital. Although she has no mother, she can accompany her sister to the banquet.
Wu Palace is so beautiful, with beautiful scenery and beautiful people. The concubines are good at singing and dancing, and the civil servants can compose poems and lyrics. Countless beautiful poems were written at the banquet. After the fall of the Wu Kingdom, she could still hear the singing of the visiting literati in Peach Blossom Mountain.
Recite the poems and songs that were circulated in King Wu's city at that time.
This is the most beautiful time in the palace. There is a long road before entering the Forbidden Palace. The roadside is lined with weeping willows, swaying in the wind.
Of course, Chen Danzhu had no interest in enjoying the scenery. He lowered his head and followed his father to the main hall. There were already several ministers in the main hall. Seeing Chen Liehu and Chen Danzhu coming in, someone sneered: "The young lady of the Chen family can not only
After making a big fuss in the military camp and being able to enter and exit the palace at will, does the Grand Tutor want to find an official position for his daughter?"
Chen Liehu limped out of the hall, stood firm and raised his eyebrows coldly: "Wen Zhong, it's not your turn for Chen Liehu to do things! Don't take you seriously. Your official position is not for my daughter.
Still doing well."
Chen Liehu is hated by people, he is domineering, reckless, and arrogant, but no one can do anything to him! The people in Zhongshushe glared loyally: "Chen Liehu, you are bold, you are contemptuous of the king - the king.
"He knelt down to the King of Wu and cried out in pain, "I beg you to punish Taifu for his arrogance."
King Wu thought, what kind of crime is arrogance? It's really stupid. Why can't you find some serious crime? Chen Liehu's ancestor had a hereditary title of Taifu conferred by Emperor Gaozu. As a king, he couldn't punish him easily.
Chen Liehu also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report. My son-in-law, General Li Liang, is dead."
King Wu had already heard the news, and he felt a little gloating in his heart. Who told you to seize military power? You sent your son and your son-in-law. Now it's okay. Your son and son-in-law are dead. Well, then when Chen Liehu dies,
Mrs. Chen was finally able to disappear from sight. Thinking that there was no more noise in his ears, King Wu almost laughed out loud. He quickly stopped it and sighed: "My condolences, Master."
Another minister standing in the hall made a strange sound: "Master Taifu, I was not in the army when your son-in-law died. You can't say it was me who killed him this time, right?"
Chen Danzhu knelt behind Chen Liehu and looked at this man. This man had an elegant appearance, but his eyes were full of arrogance. He was the beauty's father Zhang Jianjun. The death of his brother Danyang was related to Li Liang, but this Zhang Jianjun
They also deliberately wanted to kill Chen Danyang. Even without Li Liang, Chen Danyang would have died in the siege.
The Kingdom of Wu fell, but Zhang Jianjun did not die either, because his daughter, Beauty Zhang, was given to the emperor by Li Liang. In the eyes of the emperor, the beauty was as harmless as the treasure palace and could be laughed at——
When a daughter becomes the emperor's concubine, she is more powerful than when she becomes the king's concubine. Zhang Jianjun's father relies on his daughter to be noble, and the Zhang family's chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Only the Chen family died, burdened with the crime, and the whole clan didn't even have a grave. The bones of her sister and her father were stolen to her by some old soldiers when no one was prepared. She piled two small graves in Peach Blossom Mountain.
Chen Danzhu gritted his teeth. Zhang Jianjun noticed that he was looking over and was very angry. This little girl was not very old and her eyes were crazier than her father's.
Chen Liehu was not angry at Zhang Jianjun's provocation, and said calmly: "Li Liang, I killed him."
Not knowing this, Zhang Jianjun, Wen Zhong and others were stunned, and King Wu also sat upright suddenly.
What?
"Taifu——" King Wu asked in surprise.
He is such a terrible person? Such a cruel minister cannot be kept by his side!
Chen Liehu looked at the King of Wu: "Li Liang surrendered to the imperial court. I ordered my daughter to go and kill him with the military talisman."
Li Liang betrayed the King of Wu. Oh my god, Chen Liehu’s daughter went to kill someone. Everyone’s eyes turned back and forth between Chen Liehu and Chen Danzhu - Chen Liehu, you claim to be loyal, but your family members were the first to betray you.
The king, Chen Liehu’s daughter, a little girl who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, actually dared to kill someone? Was it her own brother-in-law who was killed? Terrible - this news made everyone confused for a while, not knowing whether to rejoice first or not.
When scolded, one should be shocked first and fearful first.
King Wu shouted: "What's going on? How could General Li abandon Gu!"
They surrendered before the official war with the imperial army began? These military generals not only like to exaggerate the facts, but are also as cowardly as rats?
Chen Liehu said: "There was a court lobbyist in the army who sneaked into the army and bribed Li Liang to seduce him. The soldiers I placed beside Li Liang noticed it in time and came to report. In order not to alert the snake, I asked my daughter to run with the military charm and eliminate Li Liang when he was not prepared.
Then he claimed that Li Liang was killed by a struggle for power in the army, so as not to alert the spies and disrupt the morale of the army."
In short, it is true that Li Liang betrayed the King of Wu. Zhang Jianjun and Wen Zhong who were present here suddenly became excited. He didn’t care about anything else. Chen Liehu, you also have today!
"The Taifu's son-in-law can actually betray the king." Zhang Jianjun said in a strange tone, "It's really unexpected. It's admirable that the Taifu can kill his relatives out of justice. It's just that a son-in-law is half a son. A son-in-law can do this. I don't know why Master Danyang died.
Isn’t that also the case?”
Chen Liehu was furious: "What time is it now? You still want to slander me. The imperial spies have sneaked into the army and can bribe the generals. The survival of our land of Wu has reached a critical moment——"
Zhang Jianjun did not show any weakness, he was not afraid of this lame man. At dusk, his son and son-in-law were also dead.
"Critical moment? Why are your children the ones being bribed? Chen Liehu, the reason why Wudi is in crisis is because of your family!"
At the beginning, King Wu leaned back, thinking about what reason to leave for a while. But before he could think of a way, someone interrupted the quarrel in the palace.
"I still have something important to report, so don't make any noise." This was a pretty female voice, high-pitched and bright, which overshadowed the noisy old man's voice in the hall.
The hall became quiet, and he looked at the girl beside him.
Chen Danzhu continued: "I killed my brother-in-law. I know the specific story and the situation in the army best. What I discovered is related to the survival of Wu!"
Wen Zhong sneered in his heart, no matter how important it is to the survival of Wu, it has nothing to do with you, the Chen family, who has betrayed a traitor. He said coldly: "Why don't you talk about it soon?"
Chen Danzhu looked at King Wu: "Your Majesty, I will only tell you these things."
What? Wen Zhong was angry. Before he could be blamed, Chen Danzhu burst into tears and started crying. Looking at King Wu, he shouted, "Your Majesty——"
King Wu is a soft-hearted man and does not want to see a beauty cry, even though this beauty is still young——
"Okay." He agreed immediately. He didn't want to hear the noise of these men. This was also a good opportunity for him to leave, so he got up and walked to the side hall, "Miss Chen Er, come with me."
Chen Danzhu responded, stood up quickly and followed him. Chen Liehu didn't even react. He didn't know about this either. Danzhu didn't tell him, but it was too late to stop him now. He could only watch his daughter's steps.
Lightly followed King Wu to the side hall——
Zhang Jianjun sneered: "The master is so lucky. He has no son and son-in-law, but he still has a little daughter who is as beautiful as a flower."
This is to send his daughter into the palace to charm the King of Wu and keep the power of the Chen family. This kind of trick is really shameless.
Zhang Jianjun's eyes changed. Chen Liehu saw it and didn't bother to pay attention. He was also a little uneasy. His daughter was not that kind of person, but - who knows, since his daughter said she killed Li Liang, he couldn't see through it.
This is my little daughter.
Alas, I hope she won't do anything stupid.
Mrs. Chen doesn't need her to rely on her beauty to protect her family.
The men in the hall were thinking wildly. King Wu brought Chen Danzhu to the side hall, yawned and asked, "If you have anything to say, tell me."
Chen Danzhu knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the situation in the army is very critical. Many court lobbyists have already sneaked in."
The King of Wu did not take it seriously. Over the past hundred years, the princes, kings and ministers of the imperial court were treated as equals, and then despised. The emperor of the imperial court guarded more than a dozen counties and hundreds of thousands of troops. He was really too weak.
Wu State has an advantage over other vassal states. It is protected by the Yangtze River and has never been invaded by soldiers or horses.
So what about lobbyists? Who hasn’t had lobbyists yet? His lobbyists and spies have also gone to the palace, as well as the King of Zhou and the King of Qi——
Lobbyists are just lobbyists. They can't enter the palace or get close to him——
"I understand." He said, "The Guhui will immediately send people to find the spies, arrest and kill all the generals who were lured by bribes as a warning to others - Second Miss, what else is there?"
Chen Danzhu then stood up and took a step towards him, whispering: "Your Majesty, your Majesty asked me to ask you a question."
King Wu was startled, and then he was shocked, ah——
