Everyone was stunned.
The historian of Wu State was located at the end of the hall, with a case in front of him. He was unfolding the bamboo slips, picked up the brush, and started writing quickly.
After being stunned, Yan Sui was the first to react. He became angry on the spot, stood up suddenly, and asked sternly:
"Your Highness King Wu! What do you mean!?"
"Huh?" King Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be excited. I just want to enrich the historical data."
"How can the drinking at the gathering of the four kings and the banquet be recorded in the annals of history!" Yan Sui continued to ask.
"After all, it is related to the king. No matter how big or small it is, just remember it if you can." King Wu said: "What's more, the history of our Kingdom of Wu has always been based on the truth and there is absolutely no falsehood."
"What do you mean by telling the truth! What do you mean by not daring to disobey! Your Highness is deceiving yourself and others!" Yan Sui was furious.
"Then it depends on how you understand it, sir. I asked King Qin to punish himself with three cups of wine. Is this a fact?" King Wu looked indifferent.
He is completely misrepresenting his words and trying to take advantage of this verbal advantage. Just like in life, one person is dismissive of another person and is too lazy to pay attention to him, but the other person keeps talking about it. You are afraid of him. That's what it feels like.
The two kings of Ling and Chu were watching a play.
Before Yan Sui could say anything else, Xu Hu shouted angrily: "How dare you! Little Mr. Wu! How dare you humiliate my king!"
After shouting angrily, he also stood up and pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, making a gesture to draw the sword.
"What a common man!" On the other side of the Wu Kingdom, General Xiang Mo also stared angrily and stepped forward to protect the King of Wu.
Following the actions of the two of them, the two sides instantly became tense.
Xiao Yuan was right next to Xu Hu. Seeing this, he held down his right hand that was drawing the sword and gave a slight signal.
"Your Majesty!" The latter was still unwilling. In his heart, it was okay to humiliate himself, but he would fight tooth and nail to humiliate Xiao Yuan!
"Don't worry about it." Xiao Yuan patted his right hand and told him to relax, then turned to King Wu and said with a smile: "Since King Wu thinks that this matter should be remembered, it doesn't matter. Just remember it."
"But your Majesty..." Xu Hu and Yan Sui were both anxious.
Xiao Yuan raised his hand to interrupt the two of them, and said to everyone again: "What are you doing? Everyone who drinks this wine has a sword?"
I thought he would be embarrassed, but I didn't expect him to be so generous. This was not what King Wu expected, so he could only wave his hand towards Xiang Mo: "Step back."
"No!" The latter clasped his fists and returned to his seat.
Seeing this, the Spirit King took advantage of the situation and laughed, holding the cup and saying: "Come on, come on, don't worry about small things, let's all have a drink together..."
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yuan actually felt that King Wu was a bit ridiculous, because it was completely meaningless.
However, after the banquet, Xu Hu still said gloomily: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu is distorting the facts in this way. It is really hateful. Why did your Majesty stop the general?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Wu Jun should apologize!" Yan Sui followed.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. King Wu has just succeeded to the throne, and he just wants to win some face. This kind of mentality is no different from that of a child, so don't pay too much attention to it."
King Ling, on the way back, was also chatting about this matter, sighing slightly: "Wu Jun is young, and what he did was really without consideration."
Then he added: "Master Cheng, what do you think King Qin is thinking now?"
Cheng Ping followed him and said with a smile: "I thought it was just a little ridiculous."
"That's right." King Ling said: "King Qin can be regarded as a hero of the previous generation. How can a hero have such a big heart to care about gains and losses for such a ridiculous thing? I'm afraid in his heart, Wu Jun is just a clown. That’s all…”
the other side.
Where the King of Wu was staying, the servant Fei Liangzheng followed behind him and couldn't help but flatter him: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Today, when all the kings gathered together, they overpowered the King of Qin with just a few words and greatly enhanced the prestige of our country."
"Haha!" King Wu looked up and smiled when he heard this, and said: "They say King Qin is a tiger and a wolf, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than that."
"What the king said is absolutely true. Qin Jun was born as a commoner and stole the throne. How can he compare with you..." Fei Liang continued to flatter him.
King Wu smiled heartily again, looking a little proud.
With the current national strength and situation of the Wu Kingdom, the King of Wu should be doing good things externally and managing the affairs internally in order to become rich and powerful. However, the young King Shao of Wu acted in a flamboyant manner and did not take anyone seriously.
He felt that he had let the mighty King of Qin suffer, and he was very proud of himself. He was so happy that he was about to say something more when a guard came over quickly, cupped his fists and saluted, "Your Majesty, Lord Chu is here."
"Oh?" King Wu stopped talking and immediately extended his hand and said, "Please come quickly."
Not long after, the two kings met, and naturally they first exchanged hands and greeted each other politely.
The relationship between Wu and Chu has always been very good, and they are neighbors. They are both in the south of the Yangtze River. It is not surprising that the King of Chu came to see him privately.
After greeting each other, the two kings took their seats. King Wu was the first to speak: "The banquet has just ended. I wonder if King Xiang is here to discuss anything important."
King Chu did not answer directly, but glanced at Fei Liang, who was still in the hall.
Upon seeing this, King Wu understood and immediately said: "Fei Aiqing, please retreat first."
"No." Fei Liang saluted quickly, and at the same time he did not forget to say: "I will guard the door for the two monarchs. There will be no one within a hundred steps."
"Yes." King Wu nodded with satisfaction.
After he left, the King of Chu said, "Baize, isn't your wise nephew just a prime minister?"
He called him wise nephew, of course because of his relationship with the old King Wu.
Wu Wangshao didn't think it was inappropriate. He raised his eyebrows and asked in a serious voice: "What do you mean..."
The king of Chu said: "The barbarian Qin is eyeing the Central Plains. The king of Qin has conquered several countries and annexed the heart of the world. Everyone knows that he has fought several battles with Wu and Chu. The hatred is difficult to explain. I am afraid that the front of the Qin army will point to the south of the Yangtze River sooner or later." ."
"You mean, now is an opportunity?" King Wu grasped the key point of the problem.
"That's right." The King of Chu did not shy away and said bluntly: "The King of Qin is in Baize now, and there are no troops around him. If you and I join forces and take his life, we can make a plan."
"But this..." King Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "The elites of the Duwei camp are also very difficult to deal with, and Xu Hu, with his people around, would probably be harder than climbing to the sky to hurt King Qin. "
"The Tiger Marquis of Qin is extremely brave, but he is addicted to alcohol. We can start here." King Chu said gloomily: "As long as the King of Qin is defeated here, the Qin Kingdom will be leaderless, and there will be military and political chaos. When they stabilize Come down, the situation has changed drastically, and without the King of Qin Xiao Yuan, the Qin Hu's concern will probably no longer exist, and our two countries, Wu and Chu, will have no worries from now on."
"Well..." What he said made sense. King Wu couldn't help but nodded slowly and narrowed his eyes slightly.
