As soon as Xiong's call ended, Dou Bobi stood up and said: "The strength of the Chu country relies on concerted efforts. Conquering the world relies on civil and military skills. The ancestors set an example. When Bobi grows up, he will be like your ancestors. In that way, we can govern the country with culture and Taoism, and rejuvenate the country with military strategy, so that we, Jingchu, can rise from Jianghan and become the highest peak in the world today, making the Zhou royal family sigh and make all the countries in the Central Plains look up to us!"
From then on, Xiong Tong no longer sneaked out of the school to dig out bird's nests and catch fish and shrimps. Instead, he studied literature and exercises seriously with Dou Bobi, and made great progress in his studies... Unexpectedly, in the autumn of that year, Dou Bobi left school. Later, I heard that he was intercepted and killed by gangsters on the way and was snatched away by a black tiger. When the bad news came, Xiong Tong cried for several days. I thought I would never see him again, but I didn't expect that he would be rescued by an expert, complete his studies, and return safely... The two of them recounted their separation over the past ten years, talking and laughing at one time, as if no one else was watching. At this time, a young man who was about the same age as them came over on a black horse and said in a dignified manner: "The king has an order, and everyone has two jobs to cultivate the wasteland... Everyone is busy cultivating the wasteland, but you two are here chatting and don't go to work." The young master needs to report this to the king!"
Xiong Tong turned around and saw that it was the prince Xiong Yan. Xiong Tong is the legitimate son of Xiong Tong, a generation later than Xiong Tong. Although the two are uncles and nephews, they are like fire and water. Seeing Xiong Zhi's arrogant look, Xiong Tong scolded: "Go, go, you have no right to speak here!"
Xiong Yan said: "This is the king's will..."
Xiong Tong shouted: "Go away, go away! Are you leaving?" He then pulled out the Chixiao Sword from his waist. Seeing that something was not going well, Xiong Zhen had to say: "You dare to openly disobey the king's will, you have the guts, wait and see..." After that, he left there in despair.
Returning to the Chu Palace, Xiong Suan made Dou Bobi the next doctor and granted him a month's leave to go to Dou Yi to visit his mother. Dou Bobi was eager to return home. He thanked the King of Chu and rushed to Dou Yi day and night.
That night, Yun Ji was burning incense and praying for her son in the back garden again. Suddenly a maid came in and reported: "Mother, the young master is back!"
When Yun Ji heard the report, she thought she had heard wrongly. The maid repeated it again, and she quickly stood up from the futon. At this time, a tall and heroic young man walked in. Facing her son who suddenly appeared in front of her, Yun Ji couldn't believe her eyes. It wasn't until Dou Bobi called "Mother" affectionately that Yun Ji came back to her senses and stepped forward to greet her. Mother and son immediately hugged each other tightly.
After a long time, Doubi raised his head and looked at his mother with tear-filled eyes. More than ten years later, because she missed her son, her mother's beautiful black hair actually had a lot of white hair... The mother and son talked about their feelings of separation over the past few years, and then they cried together again. At this time, after hearing the news, Mrs. Zhou, the prince's concubine, also came over with her four sons. According to their seniority, they should call Dou Bobi uncle, but they were similar in age and felt like brothers. They quickly got to know each other very well, and they were so happy that they hugged each other.
In the blink of an eye, the return date is approaching. Having just met and about to be separated again, Yun Ji burst into tears. Dou Bobi said: "After more than ten years of separation, I should have stayed by my mother's side to serve her. Unfortunately, your life is at stake. I hope my mother will be considerate!"
Yun Ji, Mrs. Zhou and the four brothers Dou Min, Dou Yuqiang, Dou Qi and Dou Lian sent Dou Bobi outside the city and said goodbye to each other in tears.
As the morning light begins to shine, Danyang Chu Palace welcomes another day of morning dynasty. In the main hall, civil and military ministers lined up on both sides, waiting there early.
The three-tone drum sounded, and the king of Chu arrived. Ruoyou, the eunuch of the Shiling Palace (the eunuch who passed the order) preached: "When the king comes to court, he will report it early, and if nothing happens, he will leave the court!" As soon as he finished speaking, a young minister took a step forward and loudly said: "I have my own destiny. Play!" It was Dou Bobi, the next official.
Xiong Zhen said: "What did Doctor Dou say?"
Dou Bobi said: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, our ancestors of the Xiong family have made great efforts to open up the mountains and forests and expand the territory, so that the prosperity of Chu State can be achieved today. But there is still a long way to go compared to Zheng Qi, so we still have to work hard. Now Neighboring Pudi is vast and sparsely populated, and there is still a large area of land to be developed. The surrounding countries are eyeing it, and when others seize the opportunity, it will be too late to regret!"
After Dou Bo finished his speech, an official with a mustache appeared in the civil servant class opposite, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a flattering eyebrow. Before Chu Jun could say anything, he kept saying: "No, no!"
Dou Bobi took a closer look and saw that it was Fei Wuchang, the doctor. When Xianjun was the emperor, Fei Wuchang relied on his sister Fei Tong's nepotism to climb to the position of doctor. After the death of the previous emperor, Fei Wuchang relied on Ha Feng to flatter him and gained favor from the new emperor, Xiong Zhuan. Seeing that Dou Bobi was inciting the Chu king to open up mountains and forests, expand territory, and develop Baipu, Fei Wuchang hurriedly went out to the class and said: "Now our Chu country has hundreds of miles in it and has become a huge country. It is a taboo in governing the country to use force and force troops. , the top priority is to enrich the country and secure the people. Moreover, the Pu land is a barren land, and the Pu people cannot be educated, so what is the use of enclosing it? If there is a conflict with neighboring countries, the country will have no peace, and it will be unable to fight, and it will be too late to regret it. That’s it!”
Just as Dou Bobi was about to retort, another young minister appeared beside him, it was Xiong Tong, Chu Jun's brother. Xiong Tong came out of the class and said: "I don't agree with what Master Fei said. I think that when the Chu State was first established, it was only a few dozen miles in circumference, with no more than a few towns under its jurisdiction, few soldiers, and few generals, and its position was humble. Later Sutra Several generations of monarchs have fought hard and fought hard in the south and in the north before the current situation of initial prosperity has emerged. The monarch should inherit the legacy of his ancestors and the best strategy is to expand the territory and strengthen the country. At present, the Pu land is vast and sparsely populated, just like fighting As the doctor said, if you expand your territory and double your territory, you will reap all the benefits and no harm, so why not do it? Once another country seizes the opportunity, it will be too late to regret it!"
However, Xiong Zhen yawned and said, "Everyone in the Qing family is right, let me think about it and discuss it again!" Shi Linggong Zheng Ruoyou lost no time in announcing: "Retreat from the court!"
Xiong Tong shook his arm in anger, and Dou Bobi hurried over and gave him a gentle tug. The two of them left the palace together with the ministers. Fei Wuchang beside him immediately showed a proud look.
On the way back, Xiong Tong said angrily: "As the king of a country, I am far away from the gentleman and close to the villain. If I don't think about doing anything, my true energy will kill me! No, I have to see the king again. If he doesn't adopt my ideas, I visit his bedroom every day, disturbing his peace!"
Dou Bobi thought about it again and again, and then advised: "I'm afraid this will not help, but will be counterproductive. It's better to do this..." Then he whispered for a while, making Xiong Tong nod frequently.
However, what Dou Bobi and Xiong Tong did not expect was that for several days, Xiong Suan did not go to court on the grounds that his dragon body was not in good condition. The two of them were angry and angry and went straight to his bedroom. A loud sound of reeds, reeds, and drums was heard in the distance. It turned out that Xiong Suan locked himself in the harem, singing and dancing to his heart's content all day long, regardless of the government affairs. Xiong Tong was furious and was about to rush in, but was blocked by the chamberlain guarding the palace gate. During the commotion, Gong Zheng (the eunuch who delivered the order) Ruoyou ran out and said loudly: "The king has a decree, and any trespassers will be shot without mercy!"
Seeing this, Dou Bobi hurriedly pulled Xiong Tong to the jade steps outside the palace gate. The two cried loudly facing the street, and soon attracted a large group of passing onlookers.
At this moment, in the palace of Chu Jun Xiong Zhuan, a group of young dancers dressed up in gorgeous clothes were dancing in light neon clothes. Two charming singers were leaning on Xiong Zhuan's side, keeping their lights on to flatter him. The doctor Fei Wuchang on the side couldn't stop saying: Pour some wine for Xiong Zhen's Jinjueli. Xiong Zhen held the beauty in his arms, drinking wine and enjoying the singing and dancing, his face full of contentment as he forgot about his worries. At this time, Ruoyou walked up and whispered for a while. Xiong Zhen's face immediately showed a trace of anger and displeasure, and he said impatiently: "Then let them in!"
In a blink of an eye, Xiong Tong and Dou Bobi stepped in. Xiong Zhen said dissatisfiedly: "Why are you two crying outside the palace gate?"
Xiong Channel: "My dear brother, I cry for the dying man."
Xiong Zhen said: "Who is the dying person?"
Xiong Channel: "The king himself."
When Xiong Tong saw this, he was furious and yelled: "How dare you curse me? Someone, drag Xiong Tong down and chop him down..." Before he could finish his words, Dou Bobi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, wait a minute! The second young master is not cursing the Majesty."
Xiong Zhen said: "He is obviously cursing me, how can you say it's not the case?"
Dou Bobi asked, "Has your Majesty heard of such a story?" Xiong Zhen said, "I would like to hear the details!"
So Dou Bobi said: "Once upon a time, there was a man whose wife died early and had only one son by his side. The man regarded him as his darling. He carried him on his shoulders for fear of flying away and held him in his mouth for fear of melting. He regarded him as his heart. The apex, the lifeblood, and the eyeballs. My son opened his mouth when he had food and stretched out his hands when he was clothed. He was pampered since he was a child. He didn't even bother to get up to pee in the middle of the night, so he just lay on the bed and did it. The father did this and that for him without any complaints. "
