The doorman invited Shang Fu into the living room to wait. After a while, Ling Yin put on his broad robe, put on a ceremonial crown and walked out, saying, "Sir, please wait." Shang Fu stood up, held his hands in front of him, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, you are a big bug." Ling Yin sat down in front of several cases. , said: "Sir, please sit down." Shang Fu sat aside. After Shang Fu sat down, Ling Yin said: "I don't know why you came to my Ling Yin's house, sir?" Shang Fu said: "Please Ling Yin Da Chong introduce me to the King of Chu." Ling Yin looked very embarrassed. With an expression on his face, he said: "This——." He knew that Ling Yin of Chu State was very fond of Baoyu. Shang Fu called in a servant and said to Ling Yin: "I heard that Ling Yin of Chu State has a good thing." Then he said to the servant: "Bring it in." The servant left and moved a heavy box into Ling Yin's house. Put it in front of Ling Yin. Ling Yin looked at the box and asked, "Sir, what is this?" Shang Fu deliberately kept it secret and said, "Of course it is something that Ling Yin likes. You will know if Ling Yin goes to open it." "Ling Yin looked at the box, walked out, and opened the box with some doubts. It was full of gold, silver, and jade articles. He was immediately dumbfounded and said, "I heard that Mr.'s property is as rich as the country. It's true!" Shang Fu sat down. He said to the side: "If your lord introduces me to the King of Chu, all these gold, silver and jade articles will belong to your lord." Ling yin squatted next to the box. At this time, it was unwilling to leave for a moment, and his eyes were straight. He looked at the box of gold, silver and jade wares and waited for a long time before saying, "You want to borrow troops from the King of Chu to rescue your husband, Xiao Yi, but this is not the case." Shang Fu said, "Exactly." Ling Yin He said: "Easy to say, easy to say." Ling Yin kept squatting next to the box for a long time, and even his legs were numb from squatting. He was helped up by the servants on both sides, walked to several cases, and said: "There is someone beside the king. There is a concubine named Zheng Ji, who is the most favored and trusted by the king. The king is obedient to her, and I heard that this Zheng Ji is very beautiful." Shang Fu suddenly realized something and said: "Thank you so much, your Majesty, for reminding me." Then he took it from his sleeve. Take out a piece of jade wall and offer it. Ling Yin held the jade wall with both hands and asked: "What is this jade?" Shang Fu said: "This jade was found by my late father in Kunlun Mountain. It was lost by Nuwa, the mother of the earth, while she was refining colorful stones to mend the sky. After some It was polished and refined. This jade is blood jade." Legend has it that this piece of blood jade is a priceless treasure, comparable to He's jade. Ling Yin held the piece of jade in both hands, looked at it in front of the lamp, and said, "This jade is transparent, good jade, good jade." Shang Fu stood up and stepped forward and asked, "Ling Yin, when can I see you? King of Chu?" Ling Yin replied hurriedly: "Let's go to court early tomorrow." Shang Fu put his hands in front of him and said: "I will wait quietly in the post house for the good news of Ling Yin's Chong." Ling Yin immediately waved his hand and said: "You go "Okay." Shang Fu said, "I'm going to take my leave now." He bowed and left Ling Yin's mansion.
Ling Yin was busy looking at the jade and ignored Shang Fu. I couldn't let go of this piece of jade, and I had no time to take care of it. It was a pity that it was given to the most beloved concubine of King Chu. It was a pity that I was really reluctant to part with it. I put this piece of blood jade on several cases and ordered my servants to put it away. A box of gold, silver and jade was moved down.
Ling Yin was still thinking about his beautiful concubine, so he rushed into the backyard impatiently and said, "Beautiful concubine! You miss me so much." He was eager to get on the bed. Meiji sat up and said, "Big insects are always so impatient." Then she turned around and said, "You said you went to see a merchant from Wei, and what did you gain?" Ling Yin took out a string of pearls and hung them on it. above the neck. Meiji looked at this string of exquisite beads and exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, this string of beads is really beautiful." Ling Yin lay on the couch and said leisurely: "Miki, do you like it?" Meiji was shy. He replied: "I like it." Then he added: "The big insect is so kind to me, I don't know how to repay the big insect." Ling Yin said with a smile: "What are you waiting for? You can repay me now, come on. !" Pulling down the curtain, the servants and attendants all exited, waiting outside the door. They couldn't help but blush a little. After a while, Mei Ji leaned her head on Ling Yin and said: "Dachong, you said that the merchant from Wei State didn't have any requirements for giving me such an expensive gift." Ling Yin said: "Mr. Trapped in the Langya Mountain of Qi State, its visit this time is nothing more than borrowing troops from the king to rescue its husband." Mei Ji said: "Are you talking about the little ants of Zhao State?" Ling Yin stood up and said: " Mei Ji also knows about this little ant." Mei Ji replied: "It is the insect saint of Zhao State, how could I not know it? I admire it as an insect and want to see its face." Ling Yin said: " You will see, as the saying goes, take money from insects to eliminate disasters for insects, and later you will go to the palace to meet the king's favorite concubine." Then he got down, walked out of the tent, and called out the door: "Insects are coming. "The attendant walked in and saw Ling Yin sitting in front of the bronze mirror. He helped her tie her hair, dress and put on her crown, and then walked out of the back hall, got on the car and left Ling Yin's mansion, running towards the harem of the King of Chu Palace.
Zheng Ji was originally a dancing girl in Ling Yin's palace. Later Ling Yin dedicated it to the King of Chu. She danced in the palace of the King of Chu. Among all the dancers, she stood out and was favored by the King of Chu. The King of Chu was a lecherous king who only loved him. He also relied on Zheng Ji to climb up to the position of Ling Yin. Ling Yin was the prime minister of the Chu State. He held a high position and was above all others. He squeezed out the virtuous ministers. Only it is extremely powerful above the court. This insect is extremely greedy for money and lustful, and the house is full of beauties. The King of Chu was extremely fond of Zheng Ji. After divorcing his original wife, the queen, Zheng Ji was only one step away from the position of queen. She was still unable to rise, even though it took all her efforts. It was opposed by the ministers in the DPRK. She was annoyed that the position of queen was out of reach. The first person who opposed her was Zuo Yi Qu Zhi, who was the younger brother of Qu Ping, the Sanlu official. Among the princes and nobles, Qu Ping was a great poet in the Chu State, and he was an upright person. After Qu Ping was demoted and died in Xiangyin, his younger brother stood in the court and was also an upright person.
Ling Yin's carriage arrived at the harem of the Chu Palace and stopped. Ling Yin walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the palace gate. The palace maid Si Chong stepped forward and asked: "Why did your Lord Chong see the princess?" Ling Yin bowed and said: "I have been entrusted by a friend, please inform the princess." Si Chong said: "Please wait a moment. In a moment, the servant will come in and inform the princess." Ling Yin raised his head and said, "Okay." Temple Chong entered and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is asking for an audience outside the palace gate." The princess's voice came from behind the curtain, saying: "Please Please let Yin Dashong come in." Temple Chong walked out and said, "My Lady, please Ling Yin Dashong come into the palace to speak."
Ling Yin entered the palace, knelt down and said, "I am here to pay my respects to the princess." The princess behind the curtain said, "Your Majesty, please get up and speak." Ling Yin stood up, looked at the princess behind the curtain, and greeted, "I wonder if the princess will be here these days. Okay?" The princess said with an aggrieved look on her face: "What's so good? This Qu Zhi is very annoying. I don't know how the big insect can squeeze it away." Ling Yin said with some embarrassment: "Qu Zhi is the leader of the court. Since the Qin State captured the two capitals of Yan and Ying, it has been escorting the king to establish the capital in Shouchun. The king has great trust in him, and the humble minister has no choice." Ling Yin thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered, and said: "The king listened to Qu Zhi's advice, redressed Qu Ping's grievances, and promoted Qu Ping to the rank of Sanlu doctor." The princess said: "The insects are all dead, they are just some false names." Then the princess added: "The king has not been to my palace for a long time. La." He laughed out loud again and said: "A few days ago, Qi State presented a beautiful insect to dance for the king. The king loved it very much and made it his concubine. Isn't it equal to me? I How could I tolerate it? One day it came to visit me in the palace, and I said to it, The King told me that your nose is not good-looking. Then I covered my nose and performed a dance for the King. The King was very angry and asked me, "How beautiful is it?" Why does the insect always cover its nose when it comes to me? I said to the king, there is an unpleasant smell on the king, and it hates the smell on the king, so it covers its nose. After hearing this, the king was furious and killed the insect. Cut off its nose, and it will be ignored by the king from now on." After saying this, he laughed a few times. After hearing this, Ling Yin praised: "The princess is very resourceful." The princess joked: "It's not like I was trained by you, Ling Yin." Ling Yin immediately said: "The princess is very talented, how can she be trained by a humble minister. " These words made the princess laugh heartily.
After that, the princess asked: "Why did your Majesty come to see me?" Ling Yin said: "Weichen has a friend whose husband is trapped in Langya Mountain in Qi State. Weichen came here this time and asked the princess to come. Talk to the king and ask him to send troops to rescue his husband." The princess said: "What good can I do to help him?" Ling Yin took out a piece of blood jade from his sleeve and offered it, and the maids on both sides took it. He stood in front of the curtain and offered the blood jade, saying: "Your Majesty." Behind the curtain, a slender hand stretched out, pinched the piece of blood jade and put it into the curtain, and asked: "Your Majesty, Lord Yin, why is this?" Jade?" Ling Yin replied: "Blood jade was found in Kunlun Mountain. It is said that it is a multicolored stone that was lost when Nuwa patched up the sky. It was later polished and polished very finely. It is priceless." After hearing this, the princess observed and said: "Good jade, good jade." Ling Yin continued: "Little Ant, the Insect Saint of Zhao Kingdom." When the princess heard that it was Little Ant, she immediately agreed and said, "Okay, I will tell the king tonight." Then the princess agreed. , Ling Yin bowed and exited the harem.
Early the next morning, the King of Chu entered the palace, sat in front of several cases, and faced the ministers of civil and military affairs. The civil and military ministers below the main hall knelt down and shouted: "My king will live for ten thousand years, and the Chu Kingdom will live forever." The King of Chu said: "All the ministers are safe." Then the civil and military ministers stood in the court hall. The King of Chu said: "I heard my beloved concubine tell me that the Chong Saint of Zhao State, Little Ant, was trapped in Langya Mountain of Qi State. Is there anything wrong with Ling Yin?" Ling Yin stood up and looked at the King of Chu, saying: "That's right. Yes, Xiao Yi's disciple Shang Fu is standing outside the hall waiting for the king's summons." King Chu said: "Okay, let Shang Fu enter the palace."
Shang Fu quickly walked up the steps and entered the palace of the King of Chu. He said, "Shang Chong of Wei State pays homage to the king." The King of Chu said, "Shang Qing, please stay safe." Shang Fu stood up and said hurriedly: "My husband is trapped in Langya Mountain of Qi State. Please, Your Majesty, send troops." The King of Chu said: "I already know that Xiao Yi is a saint of insects and is respected by all people, so it is natural to send troops to rescue Mr. , you can participate in the government affairs." Qu Zhi stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is wise." The civil and military ministers behind him knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is wise." The King of Chu looked at the ministers and said with great joy: "Confess Qu Zhi as the Pingwu General. , immediately lead the army to rescue Mr. and return to Chu."
Qu Zhi led an army of two million people from Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, with Shang Fu leading the way, and marched all the way to Langya, the border town of Qi State. A large army was pressing down under Langya City. The guard stood on the city tower and looked at the army below the city. This was the army of the Chu State. A soldier from the city rode forward on a war horse and shouted: "Listen to the army in the city. Our officials from the Chu State are trapped in Langya Mountain. They should be released from the city immediately. Otherwise, if the army attacks the city, they will kill everyone." ." The guard on the city responded: "What kind of insect are you, officials of the Chu State?" The soldiers below the city responded: "Insect Saint, little ant." The guard on the city shouted: "Listen, people below the city gate. Only one insect can be allowed into the city after opening it. The army cannot enter the city, otherwise it will defend the city to the death." Qu Zhi said to Shang Fu who was standing next to him: "You can enter the city. If there is a scam in the city, I will personally lead the army to attack." After Shang Fu kowtowed his thanks, he drove his chariot forward and said, "Please open the city gate."
