Yue Ji

Chapter 152 The Conspiracy Is Now

After a while, there was a crowd in the study.

All those present here are magi who are in charge of the diplomacy of various countries and make detailed arrangements.

The majestic and calm posture of the young master Jingling sitting on the collapsed table made the sages who had been worried all night feel very happy.

After a while, he raised his head, glanced at everyone sharply, and said, "Speak."

"promise."

The sage who was in charge of contacting the state of Qin stood up, crossed his hands towards Young Master Jingling, and said in a loud voice, "February ago, the Marquis of Qin was ill, and Young Master Yan was sick day and night."

The wise man sat down after saying what he thought was important.

At this time, news transmission was slow, and An's elaboration and spying in foreign countries were not paid as much attention as later generations.It will take a month at the fastest to communicate what a country does.

Moreover, people at that time paid attention to aristocratic demeanor, even if they wanted to attack the opponent, they would first salute and introduce you to prepare calmly.Then the two sides will put down their chariots, prepare for the battle site, and confront each other in an upright manner.

This situation will not change until the Warring States Period, when wars are no longer presided over by nobles.

Last time, Young Master Jingling's battle against Qin could be said to be a surprise attack.He sent troops while saluting.But the last time he was assassinated, he attacked with hatred, so the world can still understand.

It can be said that on this point, the actions of Lord Yixin who came from a humble background are a bit different.Because he works closely in various countries, like a vigilant wolf, always watching the troubles of various countries.

At this time, the wise man in charge of Qi stood up and said, "The envoy of Chu arrived in Linzi a month ago, and he congratulates Mr. Zhi of Qi on his return. The people of Qi thought that the envoy of Chu's trip was secretive and might have plans."

Mr. Jingling tapped his fingers on the table, his five fingers were a little stiff, so this movement seemed very unnatural.

After a while, he said solemnly: "The concubine of Lord Yixin, died two months ago?"

The wise man was startled, and didn't speak for a long time.

The death of a woman was so insignificant to him that it never occurred to him to pay attention to it.

Young Master Jingling shook his head when he saw the sage's stunned expression, feeling a little irritable in his heart, and faintly felt that this way of reporting things was really inappropriate.

He withdrew his gaze from the ministers, and began to 'tap' his fingers regularly.

Amidst the low and weak knocking sound, all the sages stopped talking when they saw his pensive expression.

After a long while, Prince Jingling raised his head and looked at the wise man in charge of the state of Chu.

The wise man stood up, strode up to the young master Jingling, folded his hands, and said loudly: "April ago, the king of Chu asked Huai Wu, "Qi can attack." At that time The minister said, "Jin has just fought with Qin, the country is tired and the people are tired, why should the king abandon Jin and take the same." The king of Chu was angry and said, "The son will not leave Fang He Yu Jin, and then attack it again. The king wants to make him lonely and untrustworthy." Is there anyone?'"

Young Master Jingling lowered his eyebrows and nodded when he heard this.These words the Magi had reported to him.

When the wise man said this, he paused for a while, and said: "So far, there has been no change in Chu, until this envoy from Chu to Qi."

The fingers of Young Master Jingling's tapping on several sides suddenly froze.

He waved his hand, motioning for the Magi to retreat.

Seeing his pensive expression, everyone fell silent again.

After a long while, the sound of young master Jingling knocking on several sides sounded again.

Amid the sound, he said slowly: "The king of Chu wants to attack Qi, do you know the reason?"

The sage of Chu State was startled, and said hastily, "It's the envoy Cai being humiliated."

When young master Jingling heard this, his thin lips curled up slightly, and a sneer appeared on his handsome face.

With a sneer, his voice came in a deep voice, "Flut!"

"Of course!"

"From now on, what the King of Chu said, no matter how big or small, must be passed on to me."

He was startled when he heard the words, this, this is not a small task.

Young Master Jingling raised his head, his eyes were like knives, he stared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If you need something, just say it."

He immediately understood that what Young Master Jingling said was not a lie, so he quickly agreed.

At this time, the voice of Young Master Jingling came again, "Start this matter immediately!"

"promise."

Young Master Jingling raised his head, looked at the other ministers, and said, "You are the same way. From now on, the princes and princes of all countries will pass on all the words of the rulers, big or small, to me."

This is a very important order, and it is quite a waste of money and people. Although the wise men were puzzled, they still agreed loudly at the same time.

Young Master Jingling's fingers were still tapping on several surfaces. Amid the crisp sound of 'knock, knock', he said in a deep and cold voice, "He De, the Cai man? The humiliation made the king of Chu angry." Humph, it is clear that you have other requirements! This time when the envoy of Chu went to Qi, it was Mr. He Shuzhi who returned? How ridiculous! You are so incompetent for your meticulous work in Chu! Everyone knows that the King of Chu has other requests, but in the past four months, the people you have placed in are ignorant and have no reply!"

His voice was not loud, but the icy cold made all the sages shiver.

Ji's face turned pale, he stepped forward, knelt down towards Young Master Jingling, and said in a trembling voice, "It's the minister who is incompetent."

Young Master Jing Ling waved his hand, signaling him to get up, his voice turned gentle, "I also made mistakes, and I have never been deeply responsible for this kind of thing. Go down, and don't do it again in the future."

"promise."

Hearing Ji's promise, for some reason, Young Master Jingling's mind recalled what the young man had said at the banquet half a year ago, "A wise king, you only need to order your subordinates to keep their positions, Loyal to one's duty! Wealth comes in and goes out, troops line up, deal with states, deal with conflicts, and have dedicated ministers. Lead the ministers, coordinate internal and external affairs, and take responsibility for the prime minister!"

At that time, because I knew she was a woman, although I thought it made sense, I didn't pay much attention to it.Now it seems that this statement is really reasonable.It's just a matter of collecting information in detail. If they don't say it, these people will act laissez-faire.

There is no big or small detail in this matter, you have to ask yourself everything, how can you do it comprehensively?
Thinking about it, for some reason, his chest felt unbearable pain again.The pain made him unable to breathe again.

He severely suppressed the emotion that made him hate, quickly raised his head, raised his voice, looked at the sages, and asked suddenly: "Is the king of Chu lustful?"

All the sages were just stunned, but Yu first realized it. He folded his hands and replied loudly: "The king of Chu is lustful! There are nearly a thousand beauties in his harem."

"The king of Chu is famous for being lustful, and everyone in the world knows it."

"The king of Chu is old, and his mind is all on beauty. I heard that he is slack in state affairs."

. . . . . .

Perhaps it was the dissatisfaction of Young Master Jingling just now, which made them a little confused.Now all the sages are scrambling to answer.

Young Master Jingling listened quietly, listened.After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This smile is a little helpless, a little sad, but also a little sigh and joy.These kinds of emotions are too complicated, the sages never thought that the young master Jingling also has such a rich expression.They couldn't help but silenced their voices one by one, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

After a while, the son Jingling sighed quietly: "Yes. The king of Chu is known for his lust. He wanted to attack Qi, so he suddenly came to Qi. However, when he arrived in Linzi, he said that he was returning to the country for the son of a concubine. Congratulations. Before that, the concubine of Lord Yixin of Qi died! There is only one saying. The reason why the King of Chu attacked Qi was because he wanted to get this beautiful concubine, or that Lord Yixin. Seeking Ji. Hearing of Ji's death, he changed his speech temporarily, so there are many loopholes."

When all the sages were contemplating, when Young Master Jingling said this, he paused.

He stared ahead, his eyes as dark as midnight gradually became sharper: Wei Luo's child actually died a month before the Chu envoy's arrival, what does this mean?This shows that Lord Yixin already knew the intention of Chu's envoy to Qi!I really didn't expect that Lord Yixin, who was born as a humble boy, would have such accurate information!This son is really not to be underestimated!

He really knew Wei Luo too well, so now he was completely sure that Wei Luo's death was a fake death.This kind of affirmation made the boulder pressing on his chest, which almost made him suffocate, finally completely let go.

He thought about it, and started wandering around the room.

After turning around for a while, his footsteps flickered, and his handsome face sank.

He swished around, stared at Yu, and asked: "There was a minister who told the king of Chu that he might attack Jin?"

He quickly responded, "Of course."

Young Master Jingling's face was gloomy, and he asked again: "Who said this?"

He replied: "It seems to be the doctor of Chu."

After hearing this answer, Young Master Jingling walked more hurriedly in the hall.

As he was walking, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Something is wrong!"

All the sages looked at him quickly.

Young Master Jingling's thin lips were tightly pressed into a line, and he said: "If the King of Chu intends to attack Qi, the country may have already prepared for war when he goes out this time! When the Chu envoy returns from Qi without success, the order to prepare for war must have been issued to all parts of the country. Lord, once this order is received, it will be harmful to the prestige of the King of Chu. Qi cannot be attacked, and Jin is in danger!"

The words "Jin Weiyi" were clearly and loudly circulated in the hall.

All the sages looked at each other in blank dismay, they looked at Young Master Jingling, and felt that he was making a fuss.

He took a step forward and said solemnly: "Young Master, why did you say that? If Chu attacked me, he would definitely show you! Furthermore, Jin Ji is deeply favored by the King of Chu, and the ruling son Fan is also from Jin. You are too worried. "

Young Master Jingling walked a few steps forward, picked up a brush, and began to write on the bamboo slips.

All the sages knew his habits and did not say anything.

In the study room, only the rubbing sound of his 'rustling' pen tip could be heard.

Amidst the silence, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

The footsteps came in a hurry, and they came outside the study in a blink of an eye.Immediately afterwards, a swordsman shouted in a hurry, "My lord, I have something urgent to report!"

"Say!"

"The king of Chu sent a letter to Zhou Tianzi and the princes, saying that Jin Ji had secretly communicated with the witch cup and wanted to murder the king of Chu. In the room of Jin Ji's son, son Wu, a secret letter between son Jingling and son Wu was found. The letter said that in the year of the king of Chu I'm old, but I'm partial to the young master. I'm afraid it will be passed on to the young master in a hundred years. The young master is poisonous and narrow-minded. , the throne of Chu belongs to my son and me."

In the silence, the swordsman breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The private letter between Young Master Jingling and Young Master Wu has been submitted by the King of Chu to the Emperor Zhou. It is said that the words are written in Chinese, and they are indeed written by Young Master Jing Ling! This is a big matter, the prince is already furious, and ordered the young master to return to the palace quickly."
