Chapter 165 The Uncompromising King Wu

Chapter 164: The Uncompromising King Wu

This New Year in Wancheng is a bit uncomfortable. Although it is Xiumu, the civil and military ministers still have to go out to fight from time to time. The military generals and clans support sending troops, while the civil servants are against sending troops, but the final result depends on Deng Xiaoping. Sheng's attitude, while Deng Sheng was waiting for the result of Su Hong's envoy to Wu.

Compared with the noisy scene in Wancheng, Su Hong seemed a little sad. After the Chinese New Year, he still had to go out for business, and the beautiful Xiumu was gone.

In the first month of the 14th year of Qianyuan, Su Hong came to Wucheng, the capital of the Wu Kingdom, but he did not see the King of Wu for the first time. The main reason was that Su Hong came at the right time. It happened to be the third day of the first month. Officials from the entire Wu Kingdom They were all resting, and when Su Hong came, Wu Guohonglu Temple also randomly found an official to receive him.

In the study room of King Wu's palace, King Wu seemed a little flustered. He didn't expect Deng Guo to come to his door less than two months after the abolition, which made him a little uncomfortable.

In King Wu's study, stood Wu Guo's Prime Minister Zhang Chao, Wu Guo's Governor Zhou Kai, Wu Guo Sikong Lu Meng, and Wu Guolang Zhongling Lu Yuan. Wu Guofeng Chang Huanger, Wu Guoshaofu Lin Yuan and Wu Guozong Zhengsun Tai.

"Masters, now Deng Guo sent people here, they must have come for the purpose of abolishing the empress, what should I do?" King Wu asked his ministers.

"Your Majesty, why should you be nervous? My Great Wu is powerful, with strong soldiers and strong horses. Is it possible that the little country of Deng can turn the world upside down?" Huang Er smiled obsequiously.

Huang Er's words were very useful to King Wu. I have to say that the victory of Jiujiang gave King Wu the capital to expand, but King Wu never thought about whether Jiujiang's victory was due to the strength of Wu or the weakness of Chu.

King Wu is irrational, but Zhang Chao, Zhou Kai, Lu Meng, and Lu Yuan are very clear that Deng Guo is not easy to mess with, and Zhang Chao and others are not in favor of abolishing the empress, but it is King Wu. It was just going his own way. Zhang Chao and others also discovered that something was wrong with King Wu during this time. First, he gave the prince to death, and then abolished the empress.

"Your Majesty, I think that the purpose of Deng Guo's visit this time is to question His Majesty. The only way out now is to take the queen out of the cold palace and return to the middle palace, so that Deng Guo can give an explanation." Zhang Chao persuaded.

"Zhang Chao, the abolished empress has been abolished by the king. What is your intention in saying that you are a queen?" Lin Yuan, who was on the side, saw Zhang Chao uttering the title of "queen" and "Princess Tai'an". He also had credit for deposing the Queen.

"Lin Yuan, what are you? Can you question Mr. Zhang?" Zhang Chao is the prime minister of a country with high prestige, but he was questioned in public by a small slanderer. Zhou Kai stepped forward directly.

"This..." Although Lin Yuan dared to hate Zhang Chao relying on King Wu's favor, he couldn't afford to offend Zhou Kai. After all, Zhou Kai is now the No.1 general in the Wu Kingdom, holding the military power in his hand, and he wants to deal with Lin Yuan A breeze.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for your servants!" He didn't dare to insult Zhou Kai, but he could give him some eye drops, so Lin Yuan turned to cry to King Wu.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing." Wu Wang said with a headache, not to mention Lin Yuan did not dare to offend Zhou Kai, even Wu Wang did not dare to do anything to Zhou Kai, after all, Zhou Kai belongs to the army now Confidant, moved Zhou Kai, he, the king of Wu, will step down in minutes.

Seeing that King Wu had no intention of helping him out, Lin Yuan stepped aside and stood aggrieved.

"But the abolished queen has already been abolished. If it is because Deng Guo sent someone here, the widow will take over the abolished queen and come out and restore the central palace. Wouldn't it be looked down upon by people? If it spreads, what will the widow and Dawu face? So there is no need to discuss this matter again." Let’s think about how to deal with the envoy from Deng Guo.” King Wu thought for a while, and felt that Zhang Chao’s proposal was completely unfeasible. He took out the waste empress in a desperate manner, and he, King Wu, still wanted to lose face.

"But Your Majesty, I have received news that Deng Guo has mobilized troops to go south. If Your Majesty fails to satisfy Deng Guo this time, there may be a war." Lu Meng came out and said.

"Hmph! So what? Is it possible that the widow is still afraid of him, King Deng? Ten years ago, Deng Guo was not regarded by the widow." Lu Meng's words made Wu Wang a little unhappy, why not let him Deng Guosatisfied is about to go to war, let's go to war, is he still afraid of King Wu?
"Your Majesty is certainly not afraid of King Deng." Lu Meng explained: "But now that the Chu State is split, it is a great opportunity for me, the Great Wu, to march north and compete in the Central Plains. It would be unwise to fight Deng State at this time. , I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

King Wu was a little shaken by Lu Meng's words about competing in the Central Plains. After all, competing in the Central Plains was the dream of the kings of the Wu Kingdom, and now he finally had a chance to realize it. King Wu really didn't want to just give up like this, but he was unwilling to let him bow his head to Deng Guo.

So King Wu thought for a while, and said: "I still need to think about this matter carefully, you all go down first."

"Here!" Everyone left in response.

After King Wu left the study, he came to the palace of Princess Ma of the Xiang Kingdom. When he saw the beautiful Zhao Shi, King Wu's mood suddenly improved.

Seeing King Wu coming, Mrs. Ma came to King Wu holding Wu Wang's newly born son, and saluted with a smile: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty."

The King of Wu hurriedly helped Mrs. Ma, and dotingly said: "Hey, dear concubine, what are you doing? Didn't the widow say it? Don't be too polite, get up quickly, and be careful of the widow's precious son."

Mrs. Ma smiled sweetly, and King Wu felt that this person was so weak.

After King Wu helped Mrs. Ma, he went to sit on the couch with a sad look on his face. Mrs. Ma handed his son to the maid, then walked up to King Wu and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter? What happened?" Yet."

"Alas..." King Wu sighed, and said, "Isn't it because of that woman in the Leng Palace? Her natal family came to the door."

"Deng Guo!" Mrs. Ma was startled for a while, thinking: Why did you find him so quickly.

"Then what is the king going to do?" Mrs. Ma asked hastily.

"The ministers gave the widow an idea, let the widow pick up the woman, but the widow hasn't thought about it yet." King Wu said.

"What!" Mrs. Ma was shocked. If Princess Tai'an came out, she would be out of luck. The woman has come out, do you still want the face of the king, if people from other countries find out, they will laugh at the king."

King Wu immediately frowned, and said: "My concubine is right, the king of a country is a widow, I can't afford to lose face." King Wu, who was still a little shaken at first, felt more and more that Princess Tai'an should not be released. Well, although competing in the Central Plains is a big deal, one's own face is also a big deal. As for Deng Guo wanting to go to war, let's fight. After Deng Guo has been taught a lesson, it will not be too late to go north to compete in the Central Plains.

So King Wu called Zhang Chao, Zhou Kai and others again, and expressed his attitude to them, saying that Princess Tai'an would never be released. As for Deng Guo, they can do whatever they like.

After hearing this, Zhang Chao and the others persuaded them hard, but the king of Wu became determined after eating the weight and refused to release Princess Tai'an. Zhang Chao and the others had no choice but to give up, while Zhou Kai asked for orders to go to the border Overseer, after all, this battle may break out at any time.

In fact, Zhou Kai really didn't want to fight with Deng Guo, not because he was afraid of Deng Guo, but now that Chu State is split, it is Wu Guo's great opportunity to go north to compete in the Central Plains and realize his great ambitions. If he goes to war with Deng Guo now, Whether he wins or loses, it will have a great impact on Wu Guo's plan to go north, and the situation in the Central Plains is changing. Maybe he will miss it in this fight with Deng Guo. If he misses this time, he will not know how to wait next time. How long.
