"General Ji, I invite the old lady to stay in the palace for a while, why do you talk about letting go or not letting go? Where did you come from?"

Jiang Yi knew that Li Yu was deliberately making things difficult for him, and said in a deep voice: "My mother is old, what do you have for me, don't make things difficult for her."

Li Yu: "General Ji, don't treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. I have already confessed that I ordered the people in the palace to treat the old lady well. Why, you can't trust me?"

Li Yu simply turned right and wrong into black and white. Jiang Yi resisted the violent emotions and gritted his teeth, "Li Yu, what else do you want?"

Li Yu said slowly: "It's very simple. Seven days later, I will hold a ceremony to worship heaven in Kyoto. I want you to attend the ceremony as my minister and pray for the great Wu with me. Promise me, I can send the old lady back to the house immediately Take care of your life."

Although Li Yu entered the Chu Palace, he did not formally ascend the throne. This ceremony is a ceremony for him to announce to the world that the State of Wu has officially annexed the State of Chu—from now on, he, Li Yu, will be the only king of this vast land .

Li Yu knows that there are still remnants of nobles in Chu State today, and the heart of restoring the country is not dead.Jiang Yi used to be the last hope of the Chu State. If Jiang Yi could take the lead in surrendering to him, it would be a blow to the nobles of the Chu family who were trying to restore the country. Nothing could make them realize the reality more than this.

Jiang Yi naturally understood Li Yu's intentions, and refused: "I will not surrender to you, you should die."

Li Yu: "Don't answer so quickly, I advise you to think carefully about the consequences of rejecting me."

Jiang Yi opened his eyes slightly, and then realized that Li Yu had already dug a trap early, waiting to jump into the pit himself.It is really despicable for Li Yu to use the Wei family to coerce him to surrender publicly and participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Li Yu walked up to Jiang Yi slowly, looking down at his captive, enjoying Jiang Yi's struggle.

[Ding, Li Yu's coolness +10, obtained currency 10000, current currency balance: 90000. 】

Jiang Yi was suffering in his heart. Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve. He never thought that one day he would have to make a choice between the two.

Jiang Yi: "You kill me."

Li Yu: "On the contrary, I will not kill you. If you don't want the old lady to suffer, you'd better give up the idea of ​​dying for the country."

Jiang Yi was startled, "You!"

Although Jiang Yi was tortured after being captured, he never thought of killing himself. He can die in battle, he can be executed by the enemy, but he will never end his own life. As long as there is still a glimmer of life, you should not give up.But now he is seriously considering whether he should die to show his ambition, at least he won't drag Wei Shi down.

But Li Yu even gave up on his idea.

Jiang Yi felt that he was cornered, so he took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "...don't hurt her."

Li Yu raised Jiang Yi's chin and asked, "General Ji, are you begging me?"

Jiang Yi and Li Yu looked at each other, biting their lips tightly, and their phoenix eyes trembled violently for a moment.

[Ding, Li Yu's favorability degree +5; current favorability degree: 25, killing intent value: 70. 】

Jiang Yi closed his eyes.

Li Yu snorted and laughed, "Forget it, I will give you three days to consider, and after three days, tell me your choice."

Jiang Yi knelt in Li Yu's bedroom all night. Li Yu didn't do anything to him, but he didn't let him go. It wasn't until dawn the next day that he ordered someone to take Jiang Yi back to the prison.

After this incident passed, it was unknown which palace man had slipped his mouth, and the fact that Jiang Yi stayed in Li Yu's bedroom spread like wildfire, and spread quickly in the palace.

The state of Wu is different from the state of Chu. The folk customs are tough and open, and the masculinity is prevalent. Jiang Yi's incident of staying overnight in Li Yu's bedroom was naturally fueled by rumors and rumors. The final version has become "Jiang Yi late at night." Waiting for bed".

And as the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, the rumors of Li Yulin's luck and Jiang Yi quickly spread out of the palace gates, and the first people who learned were some of the legacy of Chu, and then spread all over the streets and alleys.

Everyone quickly forgot that on the day Wu Jun entered the city, Jiang Yi was held as a prisoner and paraded through the streets in a prison car because he refused to surrender.

But when it was widely rumored outside the palace that Jiang Yi won Li Yu's favor, Jiang Yi was undergoing another round of torture in the prison.

Li Yu promised to give Jiang Yi three days to think about it, but his subordinates did not let Jiang Yi idle.

Eunuch Gui was originally a trotting errand under the father-in-law of King Chuyou. After the Chu palace changed hands, Li Yu spared his life, so he thought it was an opportunity.

Although Eunuch Gui is an eunuch, he also yearns for power. He always thinks that he will not be the mud under the feet of others all his life. In the past, the father-in-law in charge had several godsons, and it was never his turn to do good things. The hard work fell on him. Now that the situation has changed, it is an excellent opportunity for Li Yu to shuffle the people in the palace, so he desperately wants to show his loyalty to Li Yu, and wants to borrow This is so smooth.

But how to show this loyalty?Naturally, it is to share the worries and solve the problems for the master.

Li Yu wanted Jiang Yi to surrender as soon as possible, so he found an opportunity to ask someone to find Li Yu's valet Chen Liang, saying that he wanted to offer advice to Li Yu, saying that he had a way to make Jiang Yi give Li Yu a satisfactory answer within three days.

Chen Liang is the celebrity in front of Li Yu. He knows that Li Yu is busy with state affairs, so how can he have the time to listen to a eunuch's plan?So he didn't even think about arranging for Eunuch Gui to meet him, but he also had a mind. He knew that Li Yu needed Jiang Yi's surrender at this juncture, so as to cooperate with Li Yu to stage a big show at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, and time was running out. If this Gui The father-in-law really has the ability to get things done as he said, and that can be regarded as a meritorious service, even if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt.

Seeing Eunuch Gui's confidence, Chen Liang was curious and asked, "The criminal prisoner Ji Yun is stubborn, how can you be sure that he will surrender within three days?"

You must know that Ji Yun is a person who has never bowed his head despite severe punishments. No matter whether it is intimidation or temptation, no one can sway him in the slightest. With Ji Yun, they have exhausted all their tricks.

Eunuch Gui Bai Jing had a sinister look on his unnecessary face, and replied: "My lord, General Ji was born as a general. He is arrogant by nature, and he is tough. Naturally, the usual methods of treating prisoners of war cannot achieve results. On this kind of person, you don't have to I’m afraid some special measures won’t work.”

These words were on point, Chen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh? What special means?"

Eunuch Gui smiled cryptically, "My lord doesn't know something, but this servant has quite a lot of experience in dealing with prisoners like Ji Yun who don't know how to flatter. Although the atmosphere here is not as civilized as that of Great Wu, it's not that there are no men in the deep palace." In and out of the harem, the deposed monarch Chu was so fatuous that he once fell in love with a few children from aristocratic families, and those who refused to obey were directly captured into the palace. It turns out that it is the secret history of the palace, and it is unlikely to be accepted by outsiders. These children of aristocratic families, who consider themselves noble, often lose their weight for a while, but in the end they fell into the hands of slaves and others. Obedience and obedience, is it the order of the abolished king?"

Chen Liang was ashamed of King Chu You's actions, but he didn't show any signs on his face, "Is this really the case?"

Eunuch Gui bowed and said, "It's absolutely true."

Chen Liang's thoughts changed at the moment, "You mean, you want to use the method of training|teaching the male servant to deal with Ji Yun?"

Chen Liang knew that these eunuchs lived in the harem all the year round, and they probably had some tricks that could not be put on the table, but Jiang Yi was originally a prisoner. As long as the person did not die, who would care about how a prisoner would be treated?

Eunuch Gui looked at his words and saw that Chen Liang didn't seem to be very opposed to his proposal, so he boldly replied: "Exactly. If a slave can get a chance, within three days, it will definitely help His Majesty the emperor to success."

Chen Liang didn't agree to Eunuch Gui immediately, and sent him back.

After Eunuch Gui left, Chen Liang took the matter seriously, and sent a message to Eunuch Gui at night, telling him to "start to do that."

Eunuch Gui was overjoyed when he heard the news. He thought it was an opportunity given to him by his superiors. He wanted to see his abilities, so he didn't dare to delay any longer. He brought his own guy and two little eunuchs with him Go straight to the prison.

The people in the prison didn't stop them when they saw Eunuch Gui and the others, obviously someone had talked to them.

Eunuch Gui came to the cell where Jiang Yi was being held, and said straight to the point: "The Miscellaneous family was instructed by the master to come to 'take care' of General Ji. The general thinks clearly about the things His Majesty wants the general to consider?"

Jiang Yi was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and recuperating. Although he was shackled and imprisoned, his expression was very calm, as if he was calm about his situation, and he didn't respond to Eunuch Gui's words.

Eunuch Gui was not annoyed by being ignored by Jiang Yi, he looked Jiang Yi's body up and down with his narrow eyes gleaming, and said: "General, the miscellaneous family advises you to surrender, so that you will suffer less. "

Jiang Yi opened his eyes, glanced at Eunuch Gui lightly, and said, "Look at your face, you are from Chu, why do you want to sacrifice your life for Li Yu's stupid king?"

Eunuch Gui was stabbed in the back, and he had a flattering smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with cold eyes, "The miscellaneous family is an eunuch, and eunuchs have no seeds, you know it, general. But the general is a smart man, he should know how to judge the situation and judge the situation. Chaotianzi is a courtier, the world has changed, if you don’t know how to adapt, wouldn’t you be looking for your own death?”

Jiang Yi couldn't be bothered to waste time talking with Eunuch Gui, so he closed his eyes again.
