The king of Chu held a banquet in the palace and entertained all officials. Hundreds of officials entered the Chu Palace one after another and sat in front of several cases on both sides. Then Ling Yin and Zhao Yangchu of Chu State entered the court. All the officials stood up and held their hands in front of them, saluting: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao Shiyang." Qu Zhi and Yang Chu returned the salute: "Everyone is polite." All the officials sat down, Qu Zhi turned around and saluted, "Mr. Yang Please sit down." Yang Chu returned the greeting and said, "Please let Yin Da Chong sit down first." Qu Zhi walked up and sat in front of several cases, then looked at Yang Chu, who then walked up and sat aside. King Chu stepped out and stood on the pedestal. All the officials bowed and said, "Your Majesty." The King of Chu faced the officials and said, "Everyone, please sit down." All the officials sat down together, and then the King of Chu sat in the court hall. The maids and attendants brought the delicacies and wine one after another, and placed them on several tables in front of the officials. Next to each official was a wine-filled Fang Zun, who poured a spoonful of wine into the wine barons. King Chu sat in the court hall and clapped his hands. Huang Zhongda Lu and dancers came in to perform dances one after another. There is a large pool in the center of the palace, with a faucet in each of the four directions, and water jets spurt out from the dragon's mouth. There is a raised square platform in the center of the pool, where the dancers perform their dances. The twisting and graceful figure is charming and charming. I heard that many beauties with slim waists come from this. Most of the officials watched with fascination. The King of Chu sat down and said: "There is a severe drought in Chu. God has not rained for three years. In addition, there is a widespread plague. The people of Chu are living in dire straits and heat. They are suffering unspeakably. This disaster relief is carried out by envoys Yin and Zhao." His first contribution." An official came forward to toast and said: "Sir, you are a sage of the State of Zhao. We admire you very much. Please drink from this bottle." Yang Chu stood up and said, "Wait a minute." Then he faced the King of Chu and said: "This is the benevolence of our king. They are fighting on the front line in this fight against the epidemic. In this fight against the epidemic, the number of imperial doctors who died of the epidemic was five insects, and millions of people were infected and died. They are the most responsible. It should be them. What the King of Chu should do is to appease the families of the victims, instead of drinking and having fun here." The King of Chu said with some guilt: "The foreign envoy is absolutely right." Then he moved away from the banquet and waved his hands, These dancing girls exited the Chu Palace one after another. The Zhao envoy stood on the court and looked at the King of Chu and said: "The mission has been completed. It is not easy for Chu's domestic and foreign ministers to interfere in the internal affairs of Chu, so I will take my leave." After saluting, he turned around and walked out of the court. The King of Chu stepped down and called: "Sir." All the officials stood up and stood behind the King of Chu. Ling Yin stood up and walked out among the ministers and said: "The most talented people are aloof and despise everything." The King of Chu also He gave up and walked up to sit in front of several cases.
Yang Chu helped the envoy out of the court hall of Chu State, stood on the high steps, looked up at the blue sky and white sun, walked down the stone steps, left the Chu Palace, got on the carriage behind him, and drove out of Shou, the capital of Chu State. spring. He stepped down and stood in front of the carriage, looked up at the tower, shook his head and said, "The imperial court will not be able to enjoy themselves for long. Maybe this is the general trend." Then he got in the carriage and left. Leaving Chu State, he went north to meet Cheng Yang.
At Langya, the two insects got off the carriage together, kowtowed and saluted: "Brother Pengju." Cheng Yang returned the salute: "Brother Tianyi." The two insects climbed up the Langya Mountain together and stood on the cliff. When you reach the top, you can have a panoramic view of all the mountains. Cheng Yang said: "Brother Tianyi! Our king and his disciples were trapped here back then." Yang Chu stood aside and said: "You can imagine the embarrassment your king was in back then. Before such a predicament, your king still persisted in his lofty ambitions. Without being disciplined, I really don’t know what is supporting it until now." Cheng Yang stood aside and said: "Maybe it's the thoughts in its heart." The more he admired King Hui, then they went down the mountain together.
They met the thieves at the foot of the mountain and stood in front of them. Yang Chu was shocked and said, "No, it's thieves. They kill insects without blinking an eye. Brother Pengju, please step back first." Pushing Cheng Yang behind him, he walked forward without hesitation. Cheng Yang stood behind Yang Chu and said: "Brother Tianyi, don't be nervous, they are all my brothers." Cheng Yang walked up and said: "Strong man, you are well." These thieves walked up and kowtowed: " Sir, Xu Twelve of the Sa family bows to you sir." Then he introduced behind him: "This is Ji Wu, the brother of the Sa family." Cheng Yang helped them up and said: "Your brother is my brother, you all get up quickly. Right." The ringleader said: "I heard that Mr. was leaving Qi State, so we chased him all the way. We met him only when we were chasing him." Cheng Yang patted his forehead and thought of it immediately, and then said: "Look at me, I almost killed him. Don't blame the two heroes for forgetting this matter." At this time, Yang Chu was a little confused, walked up and patted its back, and said, "Brother Pengju, what's going on?" Cheng Yang turned around and said: "Brother Tianyi, these are the heroes I met when I went to Linzi, the capital of Qi. They are all heroes!" Then he introduced: "This is my good friend Brother Tianyi." The leader of the thieves left. He knelt down and bowed and said, "Mr. Tian, please accept my prayers." Then he looked at Ji Wu who was standing aside and said, "Five sons." Ji Wu then knelt down and said, "Mr. Tian." Yang Chu Then he smiled and said: "My surname is not Tian, but Yang. My name is Yang Chu, and my courtesy name is Tianyi. Get up quickly." Yang Chu helped them both up. Xu Twelve stood up and scratched his head and said: "I am a rough insect. You literary insects have names and words, but I don't understand. I am the twelfth in the family, so call me Xu Twelve. He is the fifth in the family, so he can be called It's Ji Wu, you can also call it Wu Zi." Yang Chu said: "Twelve, Wu Zi, let's go down the mountain together." Cheng Yang, Yang Chu and the thieves behind them walked out of Langya territory and entered the city under the protection of these thieves. Joined the grain transport army in the city and returned to Handan, the capital of Zhao State.
King Hui had not closed his eyes all day and night, and he just fell asleep at dawn. At this time, Xu Jing, one of the eight assistant ministers, was about to enter the palace, but was blocked by the eunuch from the palace gate, saying: "The king has not closed his eyes all day and night again. He just fell asleep today and is not easily disturbed." Jing stood outside the palace gate and said, "When will the king wake up? I will wait outside the palace gate for the king to come out." Then the voice of King Hui came from the palace: "Changshun! What kind of insect is at the palace gate?" I'm asking for an audience outside." The great eunuch Changshun turned around and said, "Your Majesty, it's the senior official Xu Jing who is asking for an audience outside the palace gate." King Hui said, "Please come in, Xu Qing." The great eunuch stood aside and said, "Xu Da Chong , summoned by the king.”
The doctor Xu Jing entered King Hui's palace. King Hui walked out from behind the curtain and stood beside several cases. The senior doctor Xu Jing kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty." King Hui returned the greeting and said, "Xu Qing, please sit down." The senior doctor Xu Jing walked up and sat aside, and then King Hui sat down in front of several cases. After sitting down, Xu Jing looked at King Hui. At this time, King Hui was a little more haggard than before, so he said with concern: "Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to rest." King Hui said: "It's okay, it's okay, just tell me if you have anything. "The doctor Xu Jing said: "The two envoys from Qi and Chu have entered the territory of Zhao. At noon today, they will enter Handan, the capital of Zhao." King Hui stood up and walked out: "Xu Qing, go down and prepare. , let’s go out of the city to welcome the two envoys back home.” Xu Jing stood up and walked up, bowed to King Hui and kowtowed: “I retire.” Then he exited King Hui’s palace.
The queen walked out and said: "Your Majesty." It seemed that the queen was pregnant again, holding a nine-star crown in her hand. King Hui turned around and said, "Husband, you have some difficulty walking. Please rest more and be careful of fetal gas." The queen smiled and said, "Husband, even the imperial doctor has said that walking around frequently is beneficial to the development of the fetus." He put the Jiuzhai Mian on King Hui's head, put on his robes, adjusted his clothes according to the bronze mirror, straightened them, turned around and said: "Fuchong, you need to take a good rest, I will go to court first."
These ministers were standing in the court wearing court uniforms and beam crowns. King Hui stepped out and stood on the pedestal, facing these ministers. All these ministers knelt down, kowtowed, and called out: "Your Majesty." King Hui spread his arms and said, "Your Majesty, please stand up." The ministers under the court stood up. King Hui stepped down and stood in front of them, saying, "Let's get out of the city." King Hui walked out of Zhao Palace, followed by these ministers, drove out, climbed to the tower and looked away.
The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the rising sun reflects the red clouds in the sky. At this time, Cheng Yang and Yang Chu led the army and stood outside Handan City. They stood under Handan City and looked up at King Hui and the ministers on the tower. The soldiers dismounted, Cheng Yang and Yang Chu walked out of the carriage together, knelt down and bowed together and shouted: "My king will live forever, and the Kingdom of Zhao will live forever." King Hui spread his arms and said, "My soldiers of the Kingdom of Zhao, you are all safe. Let's go." King Hui walked down the tower, stood with the ministers in front of Cheng Yang and Yang Chu, and said, "Cheng Qing, Yang Qing, you have worked hard." Cheng Yang and Yang Chu looked at King Hui standing in front of them, Just as he was about to kneel down and say, "Your Majesty." King Hui immediately helped Cheng Yang and Yang Chu up and entered the Zhao Palace together. King Hui made Cheng Yang and Yang Chu senior doctors.
In King Hui's library, Cheng Yang, Yang Chu, Shang Fu and Prime Minister Gao Yang sat on both sides. As soon as King Hui sat down, he asked: "How are the disasters in Qi and Chu?" Cheng Yang said: "Qi and Chu have survived the years of famine, and this all depends on the benevolence of the king." King Hui raised his hands and looked up. He said: "This is the great blessing of the emperor. We are all subjects of the emperor of Zhou. This is an act of loyalty." King Hui asked worriedly: "I heard that the epidemic in Chu is very serious." Yang Chu said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the epidemic situation in Chu has been brought under control." King Hui felt relieved and said: "That's good, that's good." Cheng Yang walked up and kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, today I want to recommend you to your Majesty Two powerful generals, but they were both born in the grass." King Hui said: "Please come in."
Xu Twelve and Ji Wu entered King Hui's library. Er Chong knelt down and kowtowed. King Hui stepped down and helped the two insects up, saying: "The courtesy is important, the courtesy is important." Xu Twelve and Ji Wu stood up together and said: "Your Majesty." King Hui said jokingly: "You are also your Majesty. Once upon a time I am a commoner, how can I bear the great courtesy of a king like you?" Ji Wu said: "They all say that we are just common people in the mountains and do not understand etiquette. All we need to do is kowtow to the king." King Hui said with a smile: "Who said you don't know etiquette? Isn't this very polite?" Then he asked: "What are your names?" Xu Twelve said: "None of us have names. I am the twelfth in my family. Twelve. It ranks fifth in the family, Ji Wu." King Hui said: "Isn't this your name?" Shen Shen soon looked at Xu Twelve and said: "From now on, you will be called Xu Yong, with the courtesy name Yingjie." He looked again. He said to Ji Wu: "From now on, you will be called Ji Xun, and the word is obvious. What do you think?" Ji Wu just made a fool of himself, a little confused. Xu Twelve stood aside and just kicked it, and laughed together: "It sounds good, sounds good." King Hui said: "You have no military exploits, so I will make you two guerrilla generals. Wait until you two have military exploits." I'll give you a reward separately." Ji Wu asked: "Is this guerrilla general big?" King Hui said: "Big, on the same level as Yingjie, do you think he is big or not?" Ji Wu began to be confused again, and Lao Laotou said: "Yingjie is Who?" Xu Yong just glared at it. At this time, it began to understand, and said with a silly smile: "Are you on an equal footing with Big Brother?" The amused King Hui grinned from ear to ear, and said: "Yes!"
Three years later, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Zhao formed an alliance on the edge of the Zhang River. The three kings stood on the alliance platform and began to form an alliance. King Zhao, King Qi, and King Chu stood on the alliance platform, kowtowed to the bronze tripod, and worked together to elect King Zhao as the leader of the alliance, with King Zhao as the leader and the leader of the alliance. King Hui kowtowed to the two kings. King Qi and King Chu kowtowed in return and stood hand in hand on the alliance platform. From then on, Zhao, Qi, and Chu became brothers.
