The prison of the royal city.
This is where the Minister of Yan State is imprisoned, but only Xie Liang is left in the entire prison.
Due to the demise of the Yan Kingdom, the jailers and jailers here had been killed long ago.
Under the leadership of Wang Su, after King Xuan arrived here, he first ordered a group of guards behind him: "Guard this place carefully. No one is allowed to come in without my royal order."
"No!" Xuan Jun responded one after another and began to stand on the left and right, waiting for the door of the prison.
Later, King Xuan and Wang Su entered the prison.
She was dressed in royal robes and had her hair tied up with a hosta. After finding the place where Xie Liang was imprisoned, she stood outside the prison and coughed slightly at first.
At this time, Xie Liang, with disheveled hair and a prison uniform, was sitting cross-legged on the hay, closing his eyes and meditating.
In fact, when footsteps came, he already knew that someone was coming, but he was too lazy to pay attention. Now that he heard the cough, he inevitably opened his eyes.
The person in front of me was dressed in royal robes and had delicate features. Xie Liang already knew who the visitor was.
There is only one monarch in the world and a queen with stunning beauty.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan?" He asked with some surprise.
"Sir, you are polite."
King Xuan smiled slightly, stretched out his sleeves and bowed his hands in a salute.
You know, she is a king. How can this be done in such a hierarchical system with clear distinction between superiority and inferiority?
No matter what, Xie Liang was a little flattered, so he stood up hurriedly, bowed his hands, and bent his waist to the end: "You are the king of the country, you are really embarrassed."
"No, no, even though I am in prison, I am here to see you, sir. It should be so." King Xuan said sincerely. He did a very good job on the surface, and he can be said to be a courtesy corporal.
"How dare you do this if you are a guilty person? Your Highness really praises me too much." Xie Liang laughed at himself and said: "I just don't know why Your Highness is here."
"Sir, you should know." When talking to smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush.
Hearing this, Xie Liang naturally understood what she meant and was silent for a moment.
At this time, Wang Su began to say: "My dear Wang Su, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Wang is a great talent. Today, I, Wang Qiu, have taken the liberty to invite you to see Mr. Wang. I dare to invite you to join us in this great cause."
"It turns out to be Lord Wang. I have long admired your name." Xie Liangren's etiquette was still very standard. After handing over his hands, he turned to King Xuan and said, "It's just that I'm already disheartened. I'm afraid your Highness will be disappointed during this trip."
He refused simply. King Xuan frowned and said tentatively: "I have been so sincere. Aren't you still satisfied, sir?"
Xie Liang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no. Your Highness, King Xuan, is so generous, and I am so frightened. In fact, I have no talent at all, let alone any strategy to rejuvenate the country. If I go with Your Highness, I will miss the country's affairs."
"Sir, you are too modest."
"It's not that I'm being too modest, it's just that it's true. Furthermore, I am a Yanchen. My family and country have been destroyed. How can I stay alive?"
"A real man should have high ambitions and make great achievements! An Neng ruined his life because of a foolish king!" King Xuan said sternly.
"Yes, sir, good birds choose trees to roost in," Wang Su advised.
Ke Xie Liang has an aloof temperament, which can be seen from the fact that he publicly criticized King Yan at the banquet.
At this time, because of the destruction of the Yan Kingdom, he was even more ready to die.
So he decisively refused again.
King Xuan did not give up and continued: "A country prospers by appointing talents and entrusting talents, but it declines by abandoning talents and focusing on oneself. As far as I am concerned, you are a talented person."
"What Your Highness said is for the King's concern. It can be seen that in Xuanguo's governance, if my King could abandon his willfulness and act on his own, like Your Highness, why would he be like this?"
Xie Liang first sighed, and then said: "It's just a defeated general, how can he be brave? A great man who has subjugated his country cannot survive."
King Xuan said: "This is Mr.'s humility and retreat. It is actually a fallacy."
"Your Majesty has made up his mind, why should you insist on it?" Xie Liang remained unmoved.
At this point in the conversation, King Xuan understood in his heart that this was a Yuzhong sect.
She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, she spoke again: "Sir, do you really refuse?"
This sentence already contains an implicit threat.
How could someone as smart as Xie Liang not hear this, but he still shook his head slowly.
King Xuan was a little angry and couldn't help but glance at Wang Su.
The latter understood, stepped forward and began to sit down and talk with Xie Liang.
The conversation between the two people was extremely sour. They talked about this for a while and that for a while. In short, no matter how Wang Su persuaded or coerced, Xie Liang refused.
In the end, he exhausted all his words and had no choice.
At this moment, a Xuan Jun guard outside hurried in, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Your Majesty, Shangguan Ruo is here."
"What?" King Xuan frowned, "Stop him!"
"No!" the soldier took the order and left.
Wang Su and King Xuan looked at each other again, and then the two of them took a few steps outside in unison.
Then, Wang Su whispered: "Your Majesty, if Shangguan has an old relationship with Xie Liang, his purpose of coming here is obvious, to use Xie Liang's talents. If he persuades him to surrender, Qin will have an extra arm!"
"Yes." King Xuan narrowed his beautiful eyes, and then a cold light flashed: "If such a person cannot be used by this king for his own use, he must not fall into the hands of other kings."
"The king means"
"Kill King Qin quickly before he comes!" King Xuan was decisive and straightforward.
This queen was so shrewd that even as her adviser, Wang Su couldn't help but gasp.
She gave the order, and soon, two Xuan soldiers walked in quickly and headed straight towards Xie Liang.
When the latter saw this, he naturally knew what was going to happen next. He was not afraid, but looked up and smiled:
"Wind and frost distinguish the nature of grass and trees; danger and chaos reveal the integrity of virtue! Many thanks to His Highness King Xuan for making this happen"
"Pedantry, you have a good reputation!" King Xuan gritted his teeth secretly.
On the other side, after Shangguan Ruo was stopped by Xuan Jun, he knew that King Xuan was inside. He could not force his way in, so he could only rush back in a hurry and report the situation to Xiao Yuan.
In Xiao Yuan's opinion, there was no rush for this matter. His original intention was for Shangguan Ruo to talk to acquaintances first and settle the relationship, and then he would go to the prison himself to ensure that etiquette was in place. .
Unexpectedly, King Xuan took the lead.
When he arrived, King Xuan had already come out of the prison.
When the two met, Xiao Yuan asked with a smile: "How was the conversation between Sister Xuan and Xie Liang?"
King Xuan shook his head: "We didn't talk much, just kill him."
"Kill?" Xiao Yuan frowned.
"Yes, how can we keep the ministers of the enemy country? Brother Qin Wang wants to eradicate the roots. Why, didn't I do the right thing?"
King Xuan looked confused and innocent.
Seeing her pretending to be cute under her beautiful face, Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded with a smile:
"Okay, Sister Xuan Wang did the right thing and did it well."
What else could he say!
